Leake gets caught stealing he didn't realize the steal sign was off

Mike Leake's mugshot

Good morning and salutations a lot to get too so we will begin.   Reds pitcher Mike Leake has gotten arrested for allegedly shoplifting  about $60 worth of T-shirts from a downtown Cincinnati Macy's .  Leake who is set to make $425,000.00 this year had a statement released thru the Reds and the Reds also released a statement in regards to their transient pitcher.   I don't know what is going on in Mike Leake's head but what was he thinking??  Leake will get to tell his side today in court when he is arraigned in Hamilton County municiple court. Having  all of that happened yesterday when his team the Reds were getting ready for a game against the Pirates last night.  Pirates pitcher Kevin Correia  arrested the Reds bats allowing only three runs in a complete game win.   One of the highlights of the game was  Aroldis Chapman hitting 106 mph on the gun.  The Cuban lefty was coming off three days rest for a tender elbow.  
I must say Reds starting pitchers have not been real good but people its April.  If you recall last year the Reds hovered around the .500 mark all season last season.   Baseball season is a marathon not a sprint still a lot of games need to be played.


Switching gears to college basketball...... Bobby Knight ..... Bobby Knight,  what kind of loser do you have to be to try and cut down a program that you have no direct knowledge of.?   This is not the first time The General has drawn the ire of BBN  with his comments to a pro-Indiana crowd.  Only this time around Barnhart released a statement contradicting Knight's claims.     When will Bobby learn that if you mess with a Cat long enough it will come out and scratch the hell out you.  


In closing for today I have sad news to report dodgeball has been banned at a Dallastown, PA middle school.   because of a parent complaint.  I guess little Johnny or Susie went home crying after taking a ball hard to the face. They obviously did not follow the 5 D's of dodgeball.   That all I have for today make it great one
