I had four children after the age of 40. Had my youngest at age 50 because I’m frighteningly virile. You’re welcome.

Only eight years later, did he make it back to the team.

When I think of the Cincinnati Reds, I think of stories about Reds pitcher Joe Nuxhall, who pitched in a game when he was only 15 for the Reds. Pitch 2/3 of an inning and gave up five runs.

As I recall the last time, we were a Sunday Roku game I was able to watch this on mlb.tv. Although the early start time conflicts with my usual Sunday walk into the lower foothills of the mountains outside of town.

That was a severe butt kicking. I’m not over it yet. I shouldn’t take it so seriously yet I do, especially compared to a high of yesterday.

They should trade Flaherty today before his stock plummets further they might be able to convince someone this is just a blip on the radar. 😀

I think they’re hoping for a week pop up or something and they don’t want this to be a long inning

This is a classic beat down.

Jake pitching.

The skipper is finally headed to the mound to end Flaherty‘s batting practice session. Now 7-1 Reds.

My daughter said everything was peaceful at the one in downtown LA. She’s now headed over to the one in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills where she lives.

Yvette Hoffman also saved her daughter’s life, her nephew said. The Hoffmans’ daughter, Hope, who is in her mid-20s, was at home with her parents at the time of the shooting, and Yvette threw herself on top of her daughter, saving her from being injured. What a gutless fascist fanatic this assassin is.

De la Cruz HR. No shame, but still a drag.

Javy was a dead duck. Hope he’s not hurt.

Jack working harder in the 3rd and struggling with control

Perfect game over for Flaherty with a walk

And the people making these statements were actively under investigation by the FBI and you can be certain that Trump has ended these investigations and has perhaps even fired the agents involved in them in Idaho.

So does the chicken**** fascist think that if he sent California national guardsman there they wouldn’t fire on their own friends and relatives? So he instead sends active duty marines recruited from other parts of the country who will?

My 31-year-old daughter and her fiancé also a woman are going to the No Kings demonstration in LA today. I hope they’re not murdered by those of you on this forum who support “freedom.“

I might be home in time to see that.

I don’t know if the guy sat there the whole time going “please, please please please please somebody notice it.” I’m pretty sure he wore it when he was with clients because it would be a good way of impressing the crap out of people.

This is a really good post. To be brutally honest about most modern athletes, we can project all sorts of positive qualities on to them we want and get all Ken Burnsie about them, but at the end of the day they’re just jocks, full stop. They’re not 300 Spartans defending Greece or honoring Zeus on some hyper-real pasture in the Olympics 2700 years ago. They are good at some highly specialized physical activity that is only meaningful in a limited number of venues. Otherwise, they are just guys. But here they are feted gods, and they don’t like being told what to do. They are used to being treated like really, really, big deals. They may well have been treated this way since they were children because they had some unusual athletic gift. AJ manages them like a tactician. They want to be big shots, not cogs in a machine. But they do like to win, and we like watching them win. I remember sitting on an airplane next to some boring guy many years ago and just before we landed I noticed he had a ring on his finger the size of an old style flash cube on an Instamatic camera and it was a World Series ring and he had been on the 1978 Yankees as a role player of some sort. I could’ve been talking to him the whole time and I wasn’t because in fact, now, he was just another real estate agent. In Mesa AZ. Not a god. Staking a whole lot on what these guys think might not be the best thing to do. Just like money, winning changes everything, and the Tigers are winning, and Hinch is a really big part of it.
