• Philly.com has a good story about Joe Maddon's inquiry into a substance resembling pine tar on Joe Blanton's hat.
• Those fans who dream about the Reds going after Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday haven't had their fantasy quashed yet. The New York Post reports that the left fielder is officially available. And while we're dreaming, maybe they can add John Smoltz for the second half in 2009. You've got to love it, by the way, when your agent says stuff about your career that's news to you.
• More baseball: The Marlins are reportedly talking trade, but they're apparently not wanting to part with former (briefly) Red Jorge Cantu. I maintain that the Reds letting Cantu walk is the least-talked-about-most-significant-oversight they've made in recent memory. I never hear it mentioned on sports talk radio and I have no idea why.
• Apparently the Reds are one of few teams NOT bidding for the services of A.J. Burnett. NL Central rivals Milwaukee, St. Louis and Houston are among those mentioned in a Boston.com piece that also provides a decent overview of some of the players who will likely make a move this offseason.
• Good sider by the Dayton Daily News' Chick Ludwig about the tag football play involving Kevin Walter and Johnathan Joseph that had everyone talking.
• Non-local link of the day: Must-see YouTube video - from C. Trent's blog on Lot D - of a FOX Sports reporter interviewing Mike Singletary on the sideline. OMG.
