"If you trade me out now because of the salary I'm going to make next year, then you're just going ahead and cashing in the money for a losing team."

Here is the rather meaty, juicy and somewhat saucy interview in its entirety.  Aside from admiring BA for his stick-to-it-iveness, whadya'll think?  Can the 2010 Reds get to the NLCS without him?

Hat tip to 'Nukkah and BubbaFan.

Me?  I'm just trying to get back on the horse and do my part.

If you have to ask...

Because I don't have enough TIm McCarver in my life.

Seriously, it's a great game.  Enjoy.

Please, sir, may we have another?

How much is enough?

Post your birthday wishes for our birthday boy!

Adam Dunn is a good baseball player.

So far so good.

 
 Mom, you mean so much to us that we wanted to show our love, adimiration and appreciation for you by hitting the crap out of the damn baseabll this week and we wanted to do it in a way that stood out from all other MLB teams .  We were facing some very expensive built-for-the-postseason pitching staffs but we said, what the hell, let's do it for Mom!

Share your love for any mothers in your lives and share your love for the Reds' hot offense below...

We don't have Reds and Mets but we've got BubbaFan offering Lullville Bats updates and we need a new thread for our discussion on race in Cincinnati sports scene and what the hell, race in America altogether.

Also, the Cardinals are playing the Brewers, the Lakers are playing the Jazz and there's prolly a hockey game or two going on out there somewhere.

And howabout a little SIS action?  What's your favorite animated movie from the past ten or fifteen years? Or from whenever it was that "The Little Mermaid" began the supposed renaissance of the medium...1990?  ...I still haven't seen Ratatouille.  What am I missing?
