The Enquirer sports department's look at who rated — good and bad — this week in sports:

Best         1. Adam Dunn: All the guy does is hit home runs.         2. Ken Griffey Jr.: He's right. The fans here would rather be mad at the Bengals than go watch Adam Dunn and the Reds' All-Century center fielder.         3. Bret Boone: The former Red and current Mariner hit his 30th homer of the season Wednesday, only the third AL second baseman to reach that mark.         4. Arizona aces: Curt Schilling won his 19th game of the season for the Diamondbacks, and Randy Johnson has 18 victories. No wonder other teams fear facing the snakes in the postseason.         5. Rain: For washing out the first round of the Kroger Senior Classic. Nothing against the golfers, but the event's move to late in the season, when it competes with football, baseball, preps and the U.S. Open, has left it out of the spotlight.

Worst         1. Cincinnati parking garages: $20 for a preseason Bengals game? Um, no.         2. People who paid $20 to park for a preseason Bengals game: You know who you are.         3. Jon Kitna: For a guy who threw 19 interceptions last season, Thursday's debacle was not what we wanted to see.         4. Baby Bombers backlash: What's worse: the behavior of Danny Almonte's parents, or the transparent self-righteousness of the people trying to bring down Almonte and his team?         5. Ken Griffey Jr.: Is there anything you like about Cincinnati?
