The Reds struggles are very simple, and no, Basic ***** Baseball Fan, it's not because they don't spend enough in free agency. 5 years ago this team was pretty loaded with talent. As those players aged and became more expensive, Cincinnati traded nearly everyone away, and essentially got nothing in return. It's almost impossible to trade away Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Jay Bruce, Aroldis Chapman, and Brandon Phillips for less than they did.

Per MLB.com, the Reds have a top-10 farm system, so that's something. I guess. Maybe. Probably not.
One positive of the Bevin backlash is that it signals an end of politicians accusing their political opponents of murder and mayhem and general bad faith and oh who the eff am I kidding.
Just shut up and do your job. Don't bring unnecessary attention to yourself. I mean it can't be that hard, right?
Why would they start that now?
And it was pretty evident at the time the hauls were dogshit.
We blew our three-year window then F’d up the fire sale. Unbelievable.
I thought trading away any/all good or expensive players was PTI(pti)'s dream move?
wcc's Bachelor Party this weekend.
I'm incredibly excited, but also feel we collectively owe it to him to generally gripe, whine, and complain about every minor detail of the entire ordeal. Basically, be a huge pain in the *** and make the planning and logistics a total nightmare.

I’m watching “Lincoln” with the kids and I gotta say political discourse during that time wasn’t much better.
Now the insults being hurled about did at least show a degree of wit/intelligence that we don’t see anymore today, I’ll give them that.

Trading away your overpriced vets and replacing them with upcoming prospects is a great move, per the 2017 World Series champ Houston Astros.
The Reds did the same, only traded for a bunch of chumps. Fail.
:100points:SAE’s girl Kristine Leahy had a nice little Instagram post over the weekend.:flushed:
Even though it isn't his fault, the Reds have to fire Price just to even pretend that they care.
They aren't one win a week bad, but they aren't even close to .500 good right now, either.
The offense should be above average, like they were the 2nd half of last year, but even guys like Votto are struggling.
The pitching might as well be tee ball.

Just wanted to make sure my dad and all my friends who are now dads could make it, honestly.
RE the allegiant thing I take the lexington-sanford flight frequently. I just canceled an upcoming flight today. Is my life worth an extra $200 and two hours of layover? Prob not but its nearly summer time.
One of the under reported aspect of this teacher thing is where do gym teachers stand? What an important subset. The entire school year could be determined whether your gym teacher was a raging psycho or a cool dude who gave NF.
Doing the Derby/Oaks thing with a client/friend. Have a house/driver etc. Three couples and no derby tickets currently. Great planning!
I stand firmly behind my PJ take someone will take a flyer on him. He gone.
Another great meal at Le Deauville this weekend. Underrated imo.

I don't like giving Chad credit, because I think he is an idiot. But I've always thought the "relatively close" bachelor party was the play.
Last bachelor party I did, only 7 of us made it to Vegas. So they threw him another one back home. Rented school bus, 116 dude's, many I hadn't seen in years. Total **** show, an absolute ball. It's the right play in my book.

BBDK handing these out to all attendees?
The Charleston Southern Charm is an absolutely awful show and i'm caught up with every episode. Naomi really made an *** of herself last week throwing those cheating accusations at JD.
Cold, raining, and about a 10-15 mph wind directly in the face for the entire race.
She’s really turned heel this season. Total sweetheart before. Plus, she dropped too many lbs, imo.
Great show. Shep’s an all-timer.
-The spring game was pretty worthless considering everyone that was out (and the format), but I'm encouraged otherwise headed into the season. A ton of experience (and talent, actually) coming back. Stoops has been pretty forthright in saying we will be better. I'll believe the bastard.
Regarding Terry and Hoak, play em both IMO. Doesn't need to be a 50/50 deal, but if each is actually effective at their strength, that's a lot to prepare for. Gran's system is pretty adaptable for either QB type. Good with either, though. Candidly, the line, Benny and CJ should make life a bit easier for whomever gets the nod.
-Nice little series win for the Bat Cats.
-Older bro's bachelor party is next Saturday here in Louisville. 16 dudes. Golf. Dinner. Bars. Going to be great, and agree that the local option is a good play.
-Think the lass is a lurker. After a few drinks Saturday night... :cool2:.
-Homemade chicken and rice soup Saturday. The house aroma while making the stock is almost better than the actual soup.
-Our entire family is flying Allegiant in May to bro's wedding. :flushed:
-Really like the bounce back I'm seeing these days with women once they're absolutely done having kids. Impressive.
-Old house is finally closing sometime in the next two weeks. Pretty big relief. Listed that sumbitch December 15th... Want time to slow down for a bit? Own two personal residences... feels like an eternity.

Allegiant this Saturday to Orlando. Flying there to run in my first half-marathon. So it sounds like I'll die this weekend one way or the other.
My wife is on that same flight, SAE. Prayers sent to you and her. No way I'm flying with those clowns.
Re: Allegiant (from a jet / airline honk):
Re: Allegiant (from a jet / airline honk):
- The fleet age story is somewhat overrated; Delta was flying DC9's like three years ago (last built in 1982). Airlines fly a ton of the MD80s - and there was an article in Business Insider recently about how popular those planes currently are. Safety for those jets seems pretty good these days. I prefer them to 737s from a comfort standpoint.
- Pressing issue is the crappy maintenance work; wished CBS would have spent more time on that rather than the "FAA not doing its job" angle. Is Allegiant using a maintenance contractor that other airlines use? Not sure.
- Tatted up dude who paid $80 for a round trip ticket from Cincy to Vegas - you got what you paid for, bro. As are my wife and SAE in a few weeks.
The Vegas NHL expansion team apparently being good enough to win the Stanley Cup in their first season is one of the weirdest sports developments I can recall. Up 3-0 in their first-round series. I'm sure Champs hates them with a fiery passion.
Yes, they are all horrible people. In fact, Horrible People should be the name of the show.
THAT BEING SAID, what about Thomas's new girlfriend. Good gracious, she's incredible. How is she attracted to that wrinkled-up bastard? (Money and fame, I know).
My mother-in-law has never flown before and on Saturday my wife and father-in-law were trying to plan a short weekend trip for her to at least get on a plane. All of the short distance non-stop flights out of Lexington they were looking at were through Allegiant [laughing]
-Re: good news for reds. They should be mathematically eliminated soon. Therefore, Votto can start hitting the ball. Starting to hate that dude...he's terrible when it counts and hofworthy when it doesn't.
-bachelor party: buddy planned a pub crawl with a bus and driver. Format: "9holes". Had a homeless dude hit us up for change outside of lynaughs(hole 2)...brought him along for the rest of the evening. Pretty sure he enjoyed himself.

With exception of Cameran, obviously. She seems pretty cool. But yeah its like watching one long extended train wreck. Amazing.
-Bevin's rant was something your drunk uncle would say at Thanksgiving. I mean, if a rando off the street started saying that you would politely nod and walk away. We like to give credit to people that have made it rich and think they know something. Bevin is proving that wrong. Just a bizarre thought process to have in general and then to say it to a camera. What a weirdo.
-SGNI's wife is some kind of runner...
-CPC has a 50% chance of colder than normal weather through mid-May. Eff this ****.
