Joe Nuxhall passed away last night.  It's a sad day.  It kinda feels like you have lost a member of your family.  I can remember as a kid listening to Reds games as I went to bed on a little radio.  He was just a great person who would talk to anyone, anywhere. 

I found this picture that I got with Joe at RedsFest in 2003:

And here's a cartoon that Jim Borgman drew today:

At a memorial made at his stature at Crosley Terrace there is a baseball with the following phrase: "Rounding Third and Heading for Heaven."  It couldn't be more appropriate.......

Been a long time since I've done this.  In between posts I've had even more problems with my laptop.  This time the motherboard and memory went bad and had to be replaced (gotta love that 4 yr. warranty that came with it), the Reds season mercifilly ended and hired Dusty Baker as manager.  I could write alot about this, but I'll just wait and see how next season is.

I've just been subbing, helping at home and with LifeLine Ministries, so nothing exciting going on with me.  Bill and Andrea's Halloween Party is Saturday and I have no idea what I'm wearing.  Last year I dusted off the old referee shirt from basketball and went as a ref.  I'll probably just put together something with what I have already.

Ok, so here's a question for everyone.....Name your top ten tv shows that you watch.  The only rule is that you have to consistently watch it.  They don't have to be in order unless you want them that way.  Here's mine:

How I Met Your Mother (thanks to Nick for getting me hooked on this show)
The Big Bang Theory (new this season, I like it)
CSI Miami
NCIS
The Unit
Criminal Minds
CSI NY
CSI (nothing beats the original, even though Sara's leaving in Nov. Hopefully haven't spoiled it for anyone, since it's already in the news and not a rumor anymore)
Without A Trace
Numb3rs

(Just so you know James, I didn't list Raw or Impact b/c there's no question about whether or not I watch it on a consistent basis)

One last thing, props to Barnes and Noble for putting out the 500th Anniversary Edition of WWE Magazine out today before it's scheduled release tomorrow.

Well, the computer seems to be doing fine, so I hope I've fixed that problem.  As you all know, I'm a Reds fan (duh!!!) and that I don't like the Yankees, but I saw this article on one of the radio guys blog on 1530homer.com and had to link it.  It's a really good article.  If you can't stand the Yankees, read it anyway, please.  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/29/nyregion/29blind.html?_r=2&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1183298412-7IPdynZNIO5OjRE+30fosQ
