Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto 2010 Upper Deck Series 1

Did you shave? No. Did you Shave? No.


If anyone should be suing Upper Deck, it should be BP and J-Vott. Check out the Reds team checklist card from 2010 Series 1 Upper Deck – NOT COOL. Things on this card are just a little too close for comfort.

In somewhat related nerdiness, our main man Youk is getting a SECOND McFarlane this year. McFarlane MLB Series 26 is scheduled to be released May, 2010.

Well look who’s blasting the Reds

Since the Reds announced Scott Rolen’s extension through 2012, we heard a couple of TV and radio people subtly voice skepticism and point out that he’s 34 and injury-prone. But none of it was coming from anyone we have much respect for … same sarcastic folks who tend to criticize everything the Reds do.

It did grab our attention, however, when former Reds general manager Jim Bowden, who has been co-hosting “Baseball This Morning” on SIRIUS XM Radio’s MLB Home Plate channel, questioned the deal because of Rolen’s advancing age, history of injuries and declining power.

“It’s very disappointing to me committing that amount of money without knowing that Scott Rolen can bounce back,” Bowden said.

Zing.

If it’s any consolation, Jim’s not afraid to take shots at the Nationals either.

Dan Steinberg pointed out on his D.C. Sports Bog that Bowden ripped the Nats for the Ivan Rodriguez deal earlier this month.

“Following in the footsteps of Paul LoDuca and Dmitri Young, another bad [signing] by the Nationals,” Bowden said, as the world’s irony scale exploded. “This time by a new GM, at least,” he said, as [co-host Steve] Davis laughed.

Note: You may want to call first (before driving out there) if you’re considering feeding your Big Red Appetite at the Boston Market. It seems they’re known to temporarily run out of food from time to time.

Yo, why you gotta be like dat?

Seriously, why?
Apparently, a Cincinnati Reds supporter is a wanted man in Kansas City. We just can’t catch a break, can we?

Woah.. the mug shot is not lookin’ too good, Tom.

Roger Clemens and Pete Rose fashion fail
Looks like The Rocket is getting hat buying tips from Charlie Hustle. We can’t say we blame him though – Pete’s always been so fashionable.

David Ross on the Reds lineup board
OMGreds treked to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum on this lazy winter Saturday and we found that David Ross is still kicking it on the lineup board at Great American. What’s up with that?

We did find some great old-school Mr. Redlegs logos while putzing around today. You know how we do.

Pokey Reese
1990’s/2000’s random Red Pokey Reese gets the treatment today on Straight Cash Homey Dot Com. Great website about the random jerseys still roaming the earth. I’ll be on the look out for those Akili Smith jerseys at my next Bengals game.
