First Place.

After playing basketball for two hours today, it's a fact..I'm outta shape. Not sure if I ever was in shape, but man I was struggling after the second game. With that being said, it was good just to get back on the court.

Well well well, the Cincinnati Reds are in first place. The Reds won 2 out of 3 from the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend. Good pitching all weekend, clutch hitting and great defense were the keys to success this series. Saturday night's game one of the best times I've ever had at a Cincinnati Reds game. The ending to the game was ridiculous, if you haven't seen the replay...the Reds who were only up by 1 run threw out a runner at home in the 9th inning to end the game, epic. The sold out crowd and good competition made it seem like a playoff atmosphere. It might only be the middle of May but this baseball team is playing exceptionally well. They're in first place for the first time since 2007. Keep it up Redlegs!

It's going to be a busy week for me so don't expect much from me this week.

Quote of the blog: "Every win now is a deposit in the confidence bank. Every win after a loss is worth even more, to a young team learning on the fly how to surf across six months The weekend just finished was baseball how it ought to be around here, and hasn’t been for a decade. Three days of remembering how to feel good about the Reds and the game. Culminating on Sunday when the Reds won and landed – where, again? – in FIRST PLACE."

That is the Truth.
