GYERO

One series and went from last place to 2nd.

Cubs have 4 series in a row with less than .500 teams.

Getting swept by Cleveland is trash!
 
Yeah he won a lot of individual awards, was a good player, tough as nails. I get it. I liked the kid just fine but if he was as good as everyone says then he should have been better than a 2nd round exit to Indiana.

I’m not about to go all UKO/EDC level on this but it’s my unpopular opinion and I’m sticking to it.
I think he dropped 40 points on IU. Talk to Jamal Murray and his empty arrow bag of shots or coach.

Baseball is kinda nuts right now:
  • No outliers in terms of top teams
    • NL leading win percentage: 587
    • AL leading win percentage: .595
  • One all-timer shit team:
    • Chicago White Sox win percentage: .238
  • Two other bad teams:
    • Marlins: .372
    • Rockies: 361
  • Other than those three losing teams above:
    • No team is more than 9.5 games out of the Wild Card
    • No team is more than 15.5 games back of first in their division
  • Some other odd stats re: standings:
    • Four teams currently at .500 or above in the NL West
    • Four teams currently between .467 and .494 in the NL Central
    • Only two divisions have leaders more than 5 games up on the second place team
 
We came up from Richmond for MNF a couple of times and hit up a little hole in the wall that had a free taco & nacho bar and cheap beer in plastic cups with team logos on it. It was heaven.

Sound like Rio Bravo?

Of course this was in the early 90's when most of you were drinking out of baby bottles.
Chi-Chi's on Nicholasville Rd did this. I still have a stack of those cups. Lots of fun MNF's there
 
-Just keep chipping away. Nice bounce back from the ritual Brewers beatdown.

-Love having the schedule back and kiddos occupied all day but the mornings are gonna take a week or so to get used to. Summers, everyone is still asleep well after I'm gone. Now, back to most stressful 20 minutes of the day.

-The new LED lights look awesome.

-Just to clarify, we were not attempting to be factually accurate regarding the highly publicized RAYGUN Breaking controversy. Thought that was obvious but I guess linking sources from Twitter can be deceiving.

-Speaking of Twitter, everyone wants to talk about it being a cesspool, and it is BUT the other social media platforms have become as bad or worse. IG is 95% ads, FB is 95% weird groups it think I want to see, twitter is just street fights and outrage. Meh.

-ABSeafood guy in town tomorrow. Still time to order. Picked up a boil kit for next weekend.

-Need to go see Deadpool, heard it's solid. Still hven't finished The Bear or The Boys new stuff, from the first few episodes it seems like they both dropped off significantly in the latest seasons.

This is awesome and not meant to offend anyone.
 
My Last Week of Being 51 Old Ass Randos...

• Work has been kicking my ass. It's mental stress, not physical, but damn. It still takes a toll. I don't make enough real GYERO bucks to put up with this shit.

• A few upcoming kidless trips will help...

In a couple weeks, Buckeye Marge & I are going to spend an upcoming Friday-Sunday at a cabin in Hocking Hills, OH. Hot tub (no boat), hiking, wine, couples massage, a couple of nice dinners, no kids. Celebrating 15 years of marital bliss.

In October, doing a little London/Athens/Paris (not KY) jaunt. I've never been to London or Athens. The bulk of our time will be in Greece.

In November, the Texas roadie. My SIL is a diehard Longhorn fan, Austin born & raised. She also likes to drink and is ornery as hell. I think we are going to win this one and she is not going to take it well. Could be a fun flight home.

• Fall Sports are already in full swing for the kiddos. 12-yr old is on a stacked school volleyball team that won a big tourney last week and a decent premier club soccer team that has 3 friendlies this weekend. Nonstop practices and games and she does additional training on the side.

The 14-yr old is on a shitty new soccer club and they haven't even started practicing yet. Hasn't touched a soccer ball since the Spring season.

• Been working out with a trainer a couple mornings a week. Haven't lost much weight yet, but I've redistributed a bunch of it. Still have a fantastic beer belly. That shit gets harder to lose with each year. (and with each case of beer)

• Been doing a lot of volunteer stuff with the Knights of Columbus. Makes you feel good. Give back to the community, people.

• My 14yo & I just started season 4 of the Umbrella Academy. I know it's not for everybody, but I love it. Nice mix of action, drama and stupid humor.

• Heading up to Western Michigan to shoot a couple of car commercials in early September. Underrated area. Lake Michigan, Silver Lakes Dunes, Pentwater area.

• Injuries are decimating my FC Cincinnati futbol team. I don't think they did enough in the transfer window to make up for all of the injuries.

• I think Stoops & the boys are going to win 9 this year. 10 with the bowl game. A loss in Knoxville will keep us out of the playoffs.

7 or less and Mark might hit the bricks. Ain't gonna lie, I was pretty damn excited about Sumrall when we thought Stoops was heading to College Station.

But we are going to win 10 and Huber & Brady are going to take our NIL to the next level, so everyone except UKO will be happy.

• I don't know why *some* people are freaking out about Pope's recruiting. 5-star recruiting class heroes don't win ships. I really like the looks of this year's team, but have no idea if it will translate to Kentucky level results or not. We need postseason dubs.

• Have a good day, my friends.
