I was just going to let this morning’s thing about the McNamee-Clemens suit pass without further comment, but I can’t not think about it, so let’s flesh it out a bit. I said this in the comments, but for those of you who don’t read those, this is my initial take on what’s happening here: […]

Redleg Stats Blog (via BTF) has a pretty extraordinary transcript of Reds’ broadcaster Marty Brennaman unloading on a fan who dares to defend Adam Dunn: Caller: People here don’t realize that Pat Burrell and Adam Dunn don’t get paid $12 million to hit .300.
