.093 will be both The Genius' blood alcohol and Ankiel's batting average.

And your joke success rate.

Better quit while you're at your career high Fork.

I take the Pat Verbeek approach...horrible shooting percentage, but 522 goals.

Seven run deficits are apparently insurmountable for the Reds.

Down 10-3, Dusty just brought in infielder Paul Janish to pitch the ninth and he got lit up for five runs.

That's just bizarre.

Next time out, Janish is going to leave him in for 120 pitches.

Next time Janish is sending Dusty in to pitch?

Now that's unorthodox.

Couldn't have just mentioned that I should correct it, huh?

Anyone here want to claim this one?

Baseball's Tony La Russa isn't to be Twittered with.

This past week, the St. Louis Cardinals manager and Danville resident slapped a lawsuit on the San Francisco-based social networking site Twitter after his name and image were used online to make it appear he was a Twitter user himself.

And a very crude one, at that.

"Lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving incident or dead pitcher," said one posting under La Russa's name and photo.

"We tried to reach (Twitter) for a week, and got no response," said La Russa's attorney, Gregory McCoy.

But within a half hour of the trade infringement and "cybersquatting" complaint being filed in San Francisco Superior Court, the bogus La Russa home page and postings vanished from Twitterland.

And from what we're told, the suit will probably disappear as well.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to mention this...

Uh-oh. Will Leitch's weekly column on Deadspin is Kermit-like:

"Dusty Baker. The rivalry between Tony La Russa and Dusty Baker has always been an entertaining one, and having just watched the full series between the Cardinals and Reds last weekend, I can attest that the Reds are a lot better than anyone realizes. It would be kind of an amusing irony if Baker ends up taking the Reds to the World Series, something he could never make happen with the Cubs. The only thing that would be better? If Jim Essian came back. I loved that guy. Anyway, yeah: I'm officially terrified of the Reds. And I don't even think Dusty's going to shred all those pitchers' arms this time either."
