This week on the podcast, I talk with my Crack Technical Staff, a.k.a., Jon, about the important news for the week ending May 6, 2006. Listen to how cute he sounds. Dorky sure, but I've always been helpless against dorky, probably due to my own high dorkiness quotient.

Topics we cover include:

• The all-star ballot and Daedalus's write-in-Brandon-Phillips campaign.
• Who will be back first: Wilson, Griffey, Milton, or Aurilia. (hint: not Griffey)
• The Reds' hot start, including against the great pitchers in the league.
• The use of Coffey in the late innings, but not the latest inning.
• The performance of Williams and Elizardo.
• Womack's fate and the addition of Denorfia and Olmedo.
• Fan fatigue.
• The general lack of respect for the Reds (and how that's going to change).
