* Heading out west tomorrow morning at 7:05am.
Big race -->
Western States 100 starts at 5am local time Saturday. Leggo.
* Gonna take a couple of days after to go visit Yosemite and hoping to get a permit to hike Half Dome. If I can hide from the liberals and the taxes and all the crazy left wing lunatics I feel like the National Park should be quite enjoyable.
* Update on Elly de la Cruz. He actually hasn't been hitting well at all thru his first 13 games, but over the course of 150 games, his stats would look something like this....
- 310 batting average
- 370 on base %
- 150 runs
- 75 rbi
- 25 home runs
- 75 stolen bases (0 caught stealing)
That's an MVP award waiting to happen. Also playing very good D, and he's the youngest player in baseball. Not bad for a guy who [insert all the insults thrown at john sadak].
* <-- firmly aboard the Jacob Kauwe bandwagon.
* Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves showed up at a bar in Omaha that tracks which team's fans buys the most shots.
To go ahead and put the record way out there, he dropped $30,000 on 6,000 shots.
Reminds me of all those times Wodie Sloot dropped a hundo to hear
Dinosaur, or sitting in a dueling piano bar when they play that stunt with opposing team's fight songs. Only infinitely dumber.
* Kelly Craft was the US Ambassador to Canada, and the US Ambassador to the United Nations. All bought with her husbands money. Lotta people forget that. So blowing billionaire cash purely for political gain wasn't all for naught.
* About to go pack for a week. Should take me upwards of 5 to 6 minutes. It's a solid 4 day project for the lass, and she doesn't even bring her Vitamix.
* Reds just DFA'd Wil Myers, their 2nd-highest paid player. Good reminder about all those insufferable fools who insist the only way to win is to spend $$$ in free agency.
* Can't believe I haven't watched
Righteous Gemstones. I'm ashamed. Starting today.
* If you like a thick girl with a juicy butt, a young Nicki Minaj really did the trick. As a reminder....
But this new Insta nonsense where girls are just plain fat and gross....ugh. This is why China is kicking our ***.
* Search crews for the OceanGate vessel have reported loud banging.
Unfortunately, that's probably just Vern's mom.
