I'm kind of unsurprised the Reds ended up trading Dunn. Dunn never struck me as the kind of player Dusty would appreciate.

The latest from Rotoworld suggests the deal's not done...yet.

Aw crap.

I'll come out and predict that ten years from now, Josh Vitters will be a much better player than Matt Wieters.

Grand Slam Territory!

Skeet shooting is strangely entertaining.

My favorite broadcaster quote of the Olympics so far comes from the China/Greece women's beach volleyball matchup: "She is a great looking player! ...and I mean that in the athletic sense."

Thank heavens for Facebook.

This might be the best thing since March Madness online. we used to call it speedball in gym class. We called it, "The gym teacher has a hangover and told us to go play something with a nerf ball and two nets" in grade school.

Badminton and Handball have been on TV thus far. I feel like I'm watching ESPN10. Women's volleyball is also on. Excellent.

Go Not Neifi go!

Quick, trade for Jay Bruce! We've got some mediocre veterans to unload for him!

Neifi Perez's grand slam would like to have a word with you about that.

This was after he was a reliever in the NWL last year: 21 years old now. Stats: http://firstinning.com/players/Audy-Santana-a/ Sounds about right, although the two times I've seen him this year, he's worked 88-91. His secondary stuff is pretty good, but he needs to do a good amount of work on his command and control.

Isn't the umpire considered a part of the field?

Meanwhile, Peoria's offense is not doing so hot.

I think we can start considering him in the team's Top 10 prospects list.
