This and that

• You've got to love that the Reds are so far out of it (even though they've played very well in September) that the biggest news of the day is Dusty bringing up the rumor that Corey Patterson is dating his daughter. Even if it's not true, whoever started it is genius, and it did spread like wildfire. I can't tell you how many of my friends who are Reds fans have mentioned it. And I couldn't disagree more with Dusty that he's HAD to play Patterson. You just don't play a guy who's struggling to hit .200. THERE ARE ALWAYS OTHER OPTIONS!

• Also, Edinson Volquez has been scratched from his final start. Which means there might be an even better chance of him undeservedly finishing fifth or sixth in NL Cy Young voting, as I predicted yesterday.

Ozzie Guillen is getting annoyed with those questioning his decision to stick with Junior in center field. Did anyone see this coming?

Dunn and the D'backs are on the ropes. And the Cardinals didn't even start Pujols, Glaus or Ryan Ludwick.

Hot dogs, a mascot and a bomb scare. Can't make this stuff up.

• Is there going to be a new story about who the Browns' starting QB will be this Sunday every day for the rest of the week?

• Mark Curnutte seems to think Jamar Fletcher might even play on Sunday.

Here's another Dante Love tribute. And an IndyStar story about how he's already offering the Ball State coaching staff advice on how to fill his shoes.
