Loved the song! A nice pick me up with some family doggy downers going on.
Not so much in love with Reds today...painful games to watch. But just keep hanging on and on and on. Football "opener" a bust. Didn't waste much time on it. Just flipped back and forth to watch the Reds with a bust......busted!

I hope adding Arizona and maybe others will push a better media deal for the Big 12. A devoted Jayhawk, I am appalled at the poor quality of game coverage on the official network, ESPN+. When Twitter was worth following #kubball during a game (I think Twitter is dead) everyone was complaining that they had to find an alternate source for the game because the official network was so bad. Some of the media live tweeted, at least. Don't know if that will continue. I was pleased that the basic livestream KU Athletics provided for yesterday's exhibition in Puerto Rico was not fancy, but pretty decent quality. ESPN+ should be made to do better. While I am thrilled to see Jayhawks at Nippert in November, looks like I'll have to wait until NEXT year to see them at 5/3 arena. Thanks for your blog, Doc. I appreciate it.
The Reds were physically and psychologically bodied by the Cubs. Yikes! The Reds testosterone level was on par with the 80 and over water aerobics class at the Y. Weak, impotent, embarrassing.
Maybe the house money on Greene, Lodolo , Antonne and whoever the phenom of the year might be, is bank. Make or break. I figured your girl band , for leaving, and a local reference, Manic Monday, Bangles.
A drop third strike - when's the last time the Reds would bust a game open on a drop-third strike? Is this not the most frustrating game in existence? Leave it to Weaver actualy deserved so much better than his catcher trying to back-hand a ball off of the ground instead of blocking it like they teach you to do in knothole. Actually felt for Weaver last night. Then everyone upset that he walked and nibbled at the next few batters, who just happened to be the guys personally responsible for those gaudy Cubs stats you posted.
Interesting Reds analogy but they live in a house paid for by taxpayers.
There is zero need for the owner group to spend money on player acquisition now that city stitch-heads have fallen for yet another fortuitous Reds false flag team. Keep buying those tickets, rosey-glassed reds rooters. You are part of the problem.
I loathe the boredom of baseball but even I, a mere college football caveman, can see the Reds blind squirrel mini-season will have them finish no better than 3rd and probably 4th.
I was never good at apartment living. Fix it up....still you get nothing back..short term gratification. On vaca, fine until Thursday , then have to start clearing out the fridge and thinking about packing up again😏

"JUST BECAUSE LUKE MAILE HAS earned himself a spot in the back end of the Reds bullpen is no reason to panic." I'm still laughing PDoc, i said to a buddy yesterday, any word on Maile's availability tonight. I will say, he is no Davidson.
I hear you on vacations. Spent an amazing weekend in NYC last weekend and i am still thinking about it. I say be glad for the fortune of the experience and remember it's only 357 more days until next year.
There is nothing more exhilarating than being on the right side of conference realignment and there is nothing more demoralizing than being on the wrong side of it. It is terrible for the sport but it isn't stopping anytime soon and feels good that our Bearcats finally got a lifeboat. I am a big college sports fan and have mixed feelings on the NIL/Transfer Portal but you can't make a case against it if universities and conferences are constantly chasing "the bag." Sad day for a lot of programs. The fact that Rutgers is somehow in the Big 10 tells you all that you need to know about the state of affairs.
Always appreciate David and Michelle - with two little kids, I am always looking for 2-3 hour events to get us out the house preferably one where I can have an IPA.
Doc - I keep on looking out for your take on Issue 1. Seems to be a very polarizing topic with decent arguments on both sides. Any thoughts?
Dang Doc I never had you pegged as a closet Belinda Carlisle fan. But it’s cool- we all have our dark playlist secrets - we all have a few songs on our playlist that we turn up, all alone with the windows up….haha
I like the apartment analogy. I’m still not sure where I stand on it all but I do feel confident in this- the Little Red Machine is neither the team that got worked over this week nor the team that won 12 in a row. As you often do, you brought perspective during that Streak and again today it’s also got a lot to do with who/when you play.
...now located in the irregular bargain basement....
Great tune of the day. No need to be ashamed about a great pop melody. Feelgood music.

Right now it’s Braves 7 Cubbies 0. Meditate on that.

College sports has lost their allure..just cigar smoking boardroom dollar chasing megalomaniacs

Spot on about the B12, PD.
"Small Mercies" was one of the best books I have read this year. Definitely a must read!
