Let’s lose some sleep this week with west coast games! My favorite road trips. Work productivity plummets. Might as well be a week of Business Day getaway games.

“Back in the 2nd”? This IS the second.

Slightly diminish a band: Hurry

“Evict the homeless”?

Does that mean provide housing? Otherwise it makes no sense.

FC Cincinnati dog leash, still rolled and secured with a rubber band.

But I picked up a new leash for the dog!

Brutal FC Cincinnati match. An out of the blue red card changed the game completely.

Zaha had a quality strike.

Recency bias? Demonstrative personality?

All games out. Except MILB. lookouts and dragons are on.

The 3 Chicago broadcasts are the definition of schadenfreude. The ONLY way this could be improved is if the Reds were playing St. Louis.

If you can swing the Gruen under $250 you’ve done a deal!

That’s a little pricey. Maybe $2500.

They looking for $2k for that Rolex?

It’s about your metal preference. The silver case wins for me.

So weird having a 9th inning without 2 on and no outs.

What’s the latest from Turley?

This game has been sans commercials since the 2nd inning and it’s glorious.

Swanson is safe if he was wearing his clown shoes.

When he finally TACOs out and suspends them, he’ll say he reduced them by 1000%!

Must be nice to have so much time and money to burn.

Post a blonde

When did Elly change his name?

Play it in the morning.

I’m too old for these Pacific start times for east coast games.

Old man in Cincinnati Reds hat with checkered flag pattern bill.

Speedway Classic ‘25

Cincinnati Magazine did The 100 greatest Cincinnati athletes which is bound to lead to arguments about inclusions and exclusions.

Plenty of Reds and Bengals omitted for space.

Ringo Cantillo deserved a spot.

And where are Darrell Pace and Gary Hall, Jr.? Those seem like no brainers.

Next BLS commissioner? Allen Weisselberger.

49 (sorry Tulsa)

Ugly ugly. Got to hit.

So, that isn’t mud?

I’ve always felt fandom/fanaticism is a solid model for religion, nationalism, politics, sports, and myriad other sorting beliefs. As you say, your membership in the tribe hardly matters at the unit level. It’s all about the label.
