* Lass and I produced/timed our smallest race of the year on Saturday. It's a fundraiser for a black church in Baton Rouge. Couldn't have been more surprised to see my US Senator come bouncing and giggling across the finish line with his wife.
Seemed like a nice dude, but I'm sure I don't like him.
* Family Guy, just crushing it....

* My buddy I was in this business workshop program with told me her kids were basketball prodigies and dad was working 24/7 to make the future superstars, but I had no idea....

This is incredible. They'll be on Dr Phil next week. Top ranked players in the class of 2032. Gonna be BIGGER than the Ball kids. I'm sure this will turn out very well.
* Reds sitting at #11 on MLB.com's Power Rankings.....

Our Reds reporter Mark Sheldon had an excellent newsletter entry this week which put some real numbers to the torrid week that Elly De La Cruz just had. Elly is the sort of player who sometimes defies any ability to encapsulate his brilliance in numbers, but this week, the numbers did the trick. He slashed .400/.571/.750 on the homestand this week, made zero errors, walked four times in a game and covered 112 feet on a pop-up. He is doing everything right now. He’s probably fixing something broken in your house right now as we speak.
Adding in their usual dose of clueless doltism.
* I literally threw my back out this morning bending over to plug something in. Like, wtf? That one came out of nowhere.
* New Pete Rose book out last week...

* Two things I always read on Derby Eve:
The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved (Thompson)
and
Pure Heart (Nack)
All time greats.
