I've been adding people who seem to want to talk Reds occasionally to a list. It is not comprehensive by any stretch, but if you are looking for some other Reds fans, start here.

It would be fitting given his trade history!

Luis Arraez feels like the overbid, showing them were doing something candidate. And he plays multiple positions!

Sure, but they're in a specific window right now where Kyle Schwarber helps them right now and is available right now. I want any player that can sock dingers at a high rate.

Alright Reds, I think Kyle Schwarber needs some salve and a reminder what home is like.

I like my Volvo, but you're right, it's overpriced.

EVs are cool if you have a way to charge them at home. They're probably less cool if you don't. Most of the ones I've driven are fun to drive, especially the ones that remember they are a car first and foremost.

I believe this is the 3rd shutdown that has affected her department since she's been there, but I don't recall the others having this feeling that there is no intention to reopen anytime soon. He office stayed open during the last shutdown.

My wife was non-furloughed and somehow has the exact same feeling.

The trick is to focus on one ball and try to hit it. Can't just swing randomly and hope you hit something like Bellinger clearly did.

I think I figured out why the world has gone to shit. People need to be more careful about where they put drying racks.

I went for a bike ride to try to improve my mood, but I started feeling dehydrated at the 5 mile mark and water wasn't helping fast enough and I had to turn around and go back. That wasn't how I wanted it to go, but the weather was great!

I always think that at least my parents don't have to deal with the shit that's in front of us, whatever that may be. It gives me a little bit of peace when I miss them.

Go take a Camaro ride with you mom, if you dare!

Dude...

I'm sorry. I didn't see your posts last night. Losing a loved one sucks. I hope there is peace to be found.

I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to remember to ask him sometime if he ever met Roush.
