Congratulations to Brandon Phillips.  Today’s milestone was yet another nail in the voodoo doll of Indians management who let him go to greener pastures.  (Not that they’ve missed him this year)  Is there a more talented player on this Reds team right now than Phillips?  It’s hard to argue there’s a better defensive player on the team.  He’s on the second 30/30 second baseman ever, and the other guy (Alfonso Soriano) isn’t playing second any more because of his defense.  I know that I love his attitude, zeal for the game and infectious smile.  He’s my favorite player.  Now that I’ve said that out loud, the Reds will trade him to another team.

One other note – my good friend Chris mentioned that Adam Dunn looks like Frank the Tank from Old School.  It’s amazing that I’ve never noticed that before, but he really does.  I wonder if after he hits a homer Dunn yells out, “We’re going streaking!!!”
