* We all know that life isn't fair, but BBdK coming along in his rapping prime 20 years before Soundcloud is a complete tragedy. Poor guy had to lay his tracks down the hard way -- spitting into an Aiwa shelf system. 20 years too soon, brother. What a shame. Can't imagine how many face tats and downloads DJ Nose Spray would have today.

* GOAT amateur rap:

Maybe I'm still gun shy but I hate hearing commits, like Crowdus, interviewed by KSR or the like. IMO they can only ask questions that make them reconsider their choice - "Dekel, UK ran the ball 95% of the time last year. As a star WR how do you feel about that?" Etc..

-What is the deal with these family tracking apps? One of the ladies in our office acted like that was a natural thing to do. All her kids are tracked along with the husband herself. I have two kids and a wife. I would never do that to them.

-One of the goats stuck their head into this metal ferris wheel planter in the backyard and proceeded to get it stuck and run around the yard screaming. I found it really funny. My wife did not.

-Any GYERO Louisville people want some fresh eggs? We are beginning to overflow.

-Egg Styles Ranked:
1. Fried over medium
2. Soft Boiled with lots of pepper, salt, and hot sauce
3. Poached
Last: scrambled

-Mike D of the Beastie Boys is looking more and more like an old lesbian.

-I think I am on day 40 of eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.

Mags is severely underestimating Billy Joe Wildcat's desire to drive to Lexington and eat at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory if he thinks restaurants won't be packed with waiting times when they open back up in a couple weeks at 1/3 capacity.

Is Lynn Bowden coming back and all the other QB’s have their legs amputated? If not, I think it is pretty obvious we will run a traditional offense and WR’s will get their mitts on a few passes.

First Randoms Since the "Lockdown":

- Wore khakis (I sound hideous) yesterday for the first time since March 13th. Our school had a "drive through" for kids to come get their caps/gowns/etc. Most of the faculty was there, wearing masks, and having students go through the pickup/dropoff line. It was a welcomed "event." We all needed that.

- Is there a bigger divide in what tastes awesome when it comes out in a restaurant vs. what it tastes like as carryout than Mexican Food? I blame those little aluminum trays.

- Are you eating healthier or worse? We were doing very well for the first 2-3 weeks. Wheels have come off in the last couple of weeks.

- My kids attend a different school district than the one I teach in (wife is an art teacher at a different high school than me) but I can still drop them off in the mornings on my drive in.

My school had Columbus Day off, way back in the good ol' days, and they had to go in. After I dropped the kids off, i went to a local greasy spoon for breakfast (Doug's Motor City, catfanbg - I know you'll ask).

Let me tell you guys something, there is a pure joy about walking into a restaurant to eat whatever you want, enjoy a cup of Joe, not be bothered by anyone, and be out within 15 minutes if that's what you choose.

Also not lost on me was the table full of about 12 retirees just sitting around, shooting the ****, and knocking back black coffee with their bacon and eggs. All of these men looked to be 65-80+. They were all so . . . happy. And it reminded me, I don't think anyone can come between a man and an early, unhealthy breakfast.

I've seen my dad's friends plan around this event. It's a highlight of their day. It's a rite of passage. If we ever get out of this lockdown and reach retirement, we have that to look forward to. Which is nice.

I have the Life360 app on my (just turned) 18yr old and 11yr old's phones. The 18 year old doesn't mind it because it actually gives him more freedom and he doesn't have to check in nearly as much. It's good for the 11yr old when he is on the bus for athletic trips or when goes somewhere with friends. There is no trying to guess when the bus is going to arrive at school.

Late, but Anth on your boy... stick to your guns and keep it simple till he’s a teen. 3 easy things you can do to help get him a base talent to grow into:

1) Head Stability-every great hitter has one thing in common, from when they start their swing until contact their head remains on the same plain. No up/down movements. Sounds simple but it’s hard and takes practice. But it’s a trait of every great hitter

2) hips, not arms-a lot of young kids get their arms through the zone and past the plate before the bat. This gets you out on your front foot, zero balance, and you can’t catch a fastball, and you look dumb on off speed. Imagine the end of the bat being stuck to his belt buckle or bottom of his sternum. It’s impossible to get out in front of the bat. Hands inside the ball and whip the barrel thru the zone. This also naturally “squashes the big”... squashing the big is meant to be an effect of good balance and hip rotation, not the focus of what to do in a swing

3) practice with a wood bat-aluminum is very very forgiving and hides bad habits. You can’t hide using a wood bat, if it’s not in the sweet spot you hit a dribbler and your hands sting.

keep it simple, when he’s got those things down then advance to more technical refinement. If he turns out to be an infielder I can give you some simple base stuff too

* I will be back in my office next Tuesday. We have to wear masks. Just 7 of us will be in the office, everyone else will continue to work from home.

* Chadwick, as the proud father of 2 girls who will amazingly turn 10 and 8 next month, I have no advice. I am somewhat dreading the teenage years, but they make me laugh and smile so much now, I can’t imagine them being too horrible.

I will not allow them to be alone with a boy until they are 37.

wcc will do great.

* I am currently smoking a chuck roast for pulled beef sambos. That may be the only thing Boat hasn’t smoked in the last few days.

Baseball players and wrestlers probably share the same 2nd/3rd tier status with the young ladies. Ballard soccer players they most certainly are not.

I mean they'll figure that out eventually but maybe prudent to give them a heads up before hiring that hitting coach is all.

I went to Indiana and Andy didn’t stop me from coming back, screw him!

Met with some rickhouse people and holy **** I’m impressed at the ideas they are coming up with to avoid these building crashing down and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of product.

Qdoba for lunch

CCR “things got bad, then things got worse, I guess you know the tune” ringing in my head all day about my folks. Having to consider a home or or selling the house I just bought and building something with a side suite type for them to be with us and my wife quitting her job to caretake.

Good thing I thrive in chaos for some reason!

Chad, two girl dad...both not quite elementary school age so little. My experience: you will be a prince and a king and sometimes a princess if necessary...often times a monster. You will develop a voice for all and a falsetto that is probably godawful but thrills them. That's all that matters anyway.

Encourage her to play how she wants to play without wrecking the **** out of your house. Read...often. Be prepared for "well you are just outnumbered now, aren't ya?" comments which are HILARIOUS btw.

Front to back is solid advice every time.

Most of all, enjoy. It's great.

LOL. You all ready know it. But it is the best $5 breakfast around. Well when the crack heads are not coming down from the weekend. (Sundays are always hit or miss). Agree 100. Puertos is nowhere near as good to go. Another thing, my sons dumb *** GF ordered a cheeseburger from there last Saturday night and the bun was molded. I told her "that is what you get for ordering a GD cheeseburger from a Mexican joint. they don't sell enough to check the buns."

And for God's sake, if he's a pitcher, don't throw a fn curveball until high school.

A good change up works just as well and won't F up an elbow.

Still on my Wed-Sat schedule for drinks. Proudly have only reached the 5 drink mark once. Without the concern for my fellow man, the lack of March, and this ******** May weather, it hasn’t been horrible. I don’t like it but it’s not bad on a 40 year old married.

Wood bat is fine for offseason but stay away from it during the season.

- considering the ball player in question is a five year old, could have saved a lot of space and just said "have fun".

- woke up this am and thought it was a good idea to get antibody test. quick sign-up on quest diagnostic and i was in a few hours later. showed, up, signed my name, gave a small vile of blood and will have the results emailed to me in > 24 hrs. pretty damn simple process.

- back in the office 6.1 and wanted to hit up my aunt's condo in Naples this weekend but the der kommissar (insert 80's video) decided yesterday it was best to close beaches and keep folks inside. oh well.

- drink the same but have used the quarantine as an excuse to dip into the top shelf more often.

- haven't worn khakis since high school. probably because i equate the two mentally / stylistically.

- speaking of swimming, chlorine kills the flu instantly so might be wise for our leaders to figure out a better reason for not opening them. "distancing" doesn't hold up when you consider everyone in the establishment is surrounded / submerged in a detox agent.

- pickled beets <3.

Myth for the most part. The biggest culprit of injuries to young arms is overuse, and then fatigue which leads to piss poor mechanics. Of course, you don't want an immature arm throwing curves if they can't get the #1 over the plate with proper mechanics, but learning to throw a curve the right way w/ the benefit of mechanics will go a long way toward avoiding injury >>>>provided their arm is being utilized correctly and you aren't throwing 30 curves a game.

So much more involved than just saying don't throw a curve until such and such time.

False. An immature arm torquing their elbow multiple times a game and while throwing location will do damage to the elbow. Not a myth.

Perhaps it was my dad, who played professional baseball telling me to avoid it. I was disappointed too. Was wanting to work in a screwball when I was 10.

Overuse is absolutely the main culprit. On that point, I will agree.
