uh jeff we're uh we're halfway with the season how's everything in your world

uh i'm personally doing well reds our reds back to our reds

i've won 14 out of 21 of one six out of last seven series just the stupid cardinals

we can't get past but that's another story for another day. So, like, man, the NL Central is really fun. Oh, my gosh. Four teams and five games of each other. Yes, indeed. You know, and yeah, I don't mind seeing that. I assure you on that one there, it's super fun to watch. And yeah, and didn't mind seeing the brewers finally lose a game to the paste eaters.

That was fun.

Yeah. on that one there. It's super fun to watch. And yeah, and didn't mind seeing the Brewers finally lose a game to the paste eaters. That was fun. Yeah, they won eight to ten.
