Ken Griffey, Jr. may not be in play, yet. But apparently the Reds new GM has been working the phones. According to mlb.com, there could be a Fogg warning again in Denver.

For the record, I believe Reds owner, Bob Castellini will go 'kicking and screaming' into any discussions that involve trading Griffey. And it would be wise for Jocketty, a Castellini favorite at the moment, to bring more to the table than just the 'usual suspect minor league players' to any meeting that involves Junior trade talk.

As to what they're saying about Junior possible returning to the Mariners, here's John Hickey's take in today's Post-Intelligencer.

Scratch Tampa Bay off the list of potential landing sites for former Bengal Bad Boy Chris Henry (I think he has a copywrite on that moniker, BTW). profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio says the Bucs aren't interested. But in this story posted by espn.com, Henry thinks somebody could use him. Buyer beware.

The Reds finally came out of their season long coma Wednesday afternoon, banging out nine home runs against the Cubs. By the way, until and if the Cubs fix their pitching, they're going no where this season. Anyhow, 9 homers is the most in any one game since 1999 for the Reds. So it wasn't a first. But this might've been. Check it out.

I'm sure to a lot of people, this is the equivalent of finding out there is no Santa Claus. Real people, inside those costumes? You mean, they're not real? Really?

Didn't see this one coming. UC routs West Virginia and Bob Huggins and IN Morgantown tonight, 62-39. WVU apparently made a grand total of one 3 pt field goal. The Mountaineers were 1-22 outside the arc and made a grand total of 10-shots on the night.

Huggins has to be apoplectic.

On a lighter note, unless you're the affected mascot, this is pretty funny:
