Narron and Aurilia were professional enough to keep the clubhouse from devolving into a fight club a la John the Gibbon in Toronto, although I still contend that Shea Hillenbrand is an ass for posting "The ship is sinking!" on the clubhouse bulletin board.

Since John Fay and the Enquirer have been all the rage today (nice spread on the Reds in the Sunday Enquirer), I thought I would mention this article as well.

 The Big Red Mechanic: Narron costs us another one
Jerry Narron, you my friend have just found your way onto my hit list.
I am disgusted, and this is my very last post until a) Narron is fired or miraculously vanishes or b) the Reds somehow seize first place, which seems like a real longshot after today's debacle.
I'm not sure if I'd be THAT harsh on Jerry, considering where we were in previous years compared to where we are today (of course a lot of other people are involved in that equation).
