Dayton Daily News: McCoy - Trades likely as last-place Cincinnati confronts reality (RR)

Scouts and club officials with other teams say that Reds General Manager Wayne Krivsky has made calls saying the Reds are looking to start dumping salary, ready to trade for top-shelf prospects as they peer toward the future.
...
Never, ever lose a bet to Ken Griffey Jr. The outfielder pays off, but in strange ways — like the time manager Lou Piniella won a bet with him during spring training when both were in Seattle.

“It was batting practice, and I had three swings left,” Griffey said. “Lou bet me a steak that I couldn’t hit a home run to each field on those three swings. I hit one to right and I hit one to center, but I missed the one to left. So I paid up.”

Oh, did he. Piniella got his steak on the hoof. Griffey had a live cow put in Piniella’s office while he was gone, “And when he walked in, there was the cow and some other stuff the cow had left after lifting its tail, plus he had slobbered everywhere. Lou got sick.”

Then there was the time Griffey filled Piniella’s office with lambs, but that’s another story.

Someone needs to clue Griffey into the fact that cows aren’t “he"s.

Maybe Lou was the one who slobbered everywhere.

Boar:pig::bull:______. Answer: "cow", which by extension can make a cow a "he". Q.E.D. 8-)

I'd do that too if Piniella screamed "I'll slaughter you like lambs!" after a loss.

And what do the Cubs have that the Reds want? I would love to see Griffey or Dunn come to Wrigley Field, but I don't see the Cubs being able to give them anything they want/

And Griffey still hasn't paid me my appearance fee.

Cheap bastard...

Boar:pig::bull:______

I thought boar were wild relatives of the domestic pig, while bulls were male cattle. According to the experts, there are no male cows nor female bulls, but you can use either "ox" or "bovine" to refer to cattle of unspecified gender.

Too bad Dunn kills all those rallies. Have the Brenamans been complaining about Dunn not running out to left of late?

The animal is a "beef", plural "beeves".
