This is SO awesome. :):):):)

Someone tipped me off to a story in the Enquirer in April that mentioned Adam Dunn having gotten married. I asked around, but got the cold shoulder from the people who would know (jerks) so I didn't have much to report.

Thank you Internet Movie Database for coming to the rescue (and thanks to the loyal reader who sent the tip). As you can see here, Dunn is listed as being married to one Rachel Brown as of November 27, 2006. It also lists him as bearing a resemblance to Will Ferrell, so you know the info is good.

Tonight on the podcast, we actually put together a pretty detailed agenda, and I think it shows in the quality of the content. We talk about:

The Reds’ record
– 28-45
– Still on track for 62-100 season
– Royals now have a better record
– Rangers still have a worse record, but won the series and clearly have less talent

What’s it going to take to get Narron fired?
– He freaking pinch-hit for Hamilton with Castro today
– Who would be next?

Dunn trade rumors
– Have these all fizzled out?
– Would it even make sense for anyone to trade for him?

Arroyo concert canceled
– Just when I thought I might go
– The real reason: to avoid people asking why he wasn’t home, practicing to be a better pitcher

Jay Bruce promoted to AA Chattanooga

Lest you think that I was finally going to get to confront Bronson Arroyo about him being such a jerk to me, his July 1 concert has been canceled. You know, Arroyo has said that the Red Sox didn't support his musical endeavors; I wonder whether the Reds are putting the pressure on hm to focus solely on his pitching.

CINCINNATI -- The second annual Perfect Pitch concert, scheduled for Sunday, July 1 at the Madison Theater in Covington, Kentucky, has been canceled.

Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo, the featured performer at the concert, said, “The timing isn't good right now. My body is a little banged up, and I'm trying to help us win baseball games.”

Arroyo is slated to perform at Kahn's Redsfest, presented by Great American Insurance, benefiting the Reds Community Fund. The event returns to the Duke Energy Center downtown Dec. 7-8.

The Perfect Pitch concert was slated to feature Arroyo, Chad Perrone and Screaming Mimes. It was to be hosted by local comedian Josh Sneed.

At a May 27 concert downtown, Arroyo helped generate more than $6,000 in charitable proceeds that benefited the Reds Community Fund and Homes for our Troops program. Arroyo is also donating $100 for each strikeout this season to Homes for our Troops, an organization that provides homes at no cost to injured or disabled servicemen and servicewomen and their immediate families.

Fans who purchased tickets to the Perfect Pitch concert will receive a full refund and two tickets to a 2007 Reds home game.
