Man, Yankees look weird with mustaches

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 1d

Joe Randa, opening day hero

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 1d

Ah, yes. Second best Bengal Joe perhaps

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 1d

Best Joes ever to play pro ball for Cincinnati-

Joe Morgan
Joey Votto
Joe Burrow
Joe Flacco?
Joe Nuxhall
Joe Oliver
Conner Joe

(not including Jose Rijo and other Joses)

Who am I missing?

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 2d

Just scoped the LAD-Phillies box score. Are the Reds batting for both sides?

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 2d

I say again, the Reds could relieve a whole lot of fanbase angst by dropping 300-400 mill on Elly De La Cruz, extended slump and all

It was three days after the OJ verdict.

Ja’Marr Chase has 49 career touchdown catches, all of them thrown by a QB with initials JB.

Bengals will have missed the playoffs in Joe Burrows age 27, 28 and 29 season. Getting old fast.

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 3d

That makes me more bummed. Everyone was crowning the Ravens in the whole AFC and I figured they were due for a comedown… but now it’s the Steelers in position to take advantage with their crap team.

It’s amazing how fast Sunday schedule cleared up in Greater Cincinnati

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 3d

The Bengals are 10-3 all-time against the Lions. The .769 winning percentage is their best against any NFL opponent. That will still be the case with a loss today.

Bengals are 4-2 at home in the series. Today will be Lions first win in Cincinnati since 1992.

I mean Petco Park, if it’s still called that. Seattle too, San Fran… kills hitters numbers and feel like some of them never come back

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

Ah yes. He’s a good grid play. Power never developed although I feel like San Diego really sets some careers back.

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

Those are the only Cuban Reds I could think of. I only know Davey’s pitching use from earlier grids. Also I always mess up searching him with “Davey” since he’s officially “Dave”.

By the way not only was he criminally under appreciated in his time to this day, one of the coolest parts of going to the ballpark as a Reds kid in the early ‘90s was the Reds announcer rolling his Rs for Jose… Riiiiiiijjjo!

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

Gotta be honest I don’t know my Venezuelan ballplayers well. A little pre-integration Reds history goes a long way though

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

So it’s getting pretty fascisty out there, huh?

And we’re still in the “things will get worse” part of the term.

How low will we go?

When I was three, my mom took me to see an adaptation of one of my favorite tv shows. I only hope Gabby’s Doll House means as much to my kiddo as Care Bears 3 Adventure in Wonderland means to me.

Cinema!

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

Haven’t seen it! Just followed

Dan L @dlanzillotta.bsky.social · 4d

That’s 100 new old movies while also staying on top of newer movies and new new movies while rewatching old movies and trying to keep up on tv, other forms of pop culture and you know, raise kids and earn a living.

Trust me, my spouse is very impressed
