No, it's not a high-powered law firm, it's the new Reds radio announcing crew. "Sources" have leaked that Jeff Brantley will be joining the announcing team next year hoping to provide some actual baseball knowledge to the Brennaman squared team. Of course, we all know that Brantley learned everything he knows from that ladies' man Harold Reynolds, add that to any Steve Lyons that may have rubbed off on Thom Brennaman and we've got quite a crew. Throw Nuxie in to the equation for a few games a year and you've got a party. Only one thing bothers me. This picture of Brantley to the right. He has that same look in every single picture ever taken. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, my best shot would be "vaguely nefarious, yet utterly confounded". However, if that translates to the booth it could replace Nuxie's "formerly knowledgable, yet utterly incontinent"presence nicely (for the record I love Nuxhall, he's just over the hill). So, let me be the first to congratulate you, Jeff. Bring your lifetime 3.86 ERA to the ballpark every day, convince Marty to call you a "gamer" and maybe you can talk to Eric Milton for us.

Brennaman, Brennaman & Brantley

I fucking hate Brantley! Him and Kruk trash on the ChiSox every chance they get. I understand that Kruk is bitter b/c he blew ass for the Sox when he was here. But Brantley? He's just being a dick. Memo to Brantley: You're going Bald, let the curley mullet go!
I love that Brantley is looking to his right in that picture.
BOB, in case you didn't notice, the Sox blew ass with a team that should have been better than last year. Seems like they deserved some trashing. He'll be fun, it's always nice to have former players in the booth.
Dude, seriously, fuck Brantley.
brantley was trashing the sox all last year too, for no apparent reason. i'm with bob. he's a pompous douchebag.
Wow, I didn't realize there was such scorn towards Jeff Brantley. He's part of the Reds family so I'll give him a chance, but I will have to be a little more cautious based your opinions.
