((HT: PepsiMax their own self))
You remember the first version of dressing up Jeff Gordon in a lot of make-up and freaking out a car salesman...
One writer over at Jalopnik thought the whole thing was a work...
So, PepsiMax comes out with a new ad with Gordon and the writer who went off...
It's classic... and it's revenge...

Brandon Phillips Vents Pregame At Local Beat Writer
((HT: CBS Sports/101Sports))
Matt Snyder lets us know that Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips is a little mad at Cincinnati Enquirer beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans. Phillips got moved from clean-up to second in the line up and Rosecrans thought Tweeting the ten point difference in on base percentage was a good idea...
Phillips didn't think so...
He told him so before the game...
So, of course, in his first game post-rant Phillips was building on a 2-for-3 evening as the Reds were up 9-0 after 5 innings in St. Louis...
Ah, all of this verbal jousting... even if the Reds are in the second wild card spot at present...
And safely so... but...
Cincinnati.com offered us this statement of not backing off their Reds coverage that ended...
While we are disappointed in Phillips' reaction, we understand it is a pennant race and emotions are high during a crucial series with a heated rival. This isn't the first time a player has lost his temper in response to a reporters questions and it won't be the last. It is part of covering the team day-in day-out.
This will not effect our coverage of the team or Phillips. We plan on moving on from and we hope Phillips does to.
