WHAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING TODAY ...

Jerry Kill might be ready to crack the whip at the Gophers' first fall practice.

Stevie Williams might be looking ahead to working with Adam Scott more, rather than looking back to his days with Tiger Woods.

Rick Anderson might be wondering what happened to his pitching staff.

FIVE THINGS

Reds outfielder Chris Heisey became the first big leaguer in August to go on the DL because of an oblique injury, and the 35th this season. You could make an All-Star team with the players who have had strained obliques this year, including:

• Brian McCann

• Evan Longoria

• Travis Hafner

• Corey Hart

• Brian Wilson
