Monday morning rambler

Sorry folks that I have not been on the past couple of days.  Been helping do a home improvement project old hardwood floors that you would think it was easy.   Unfortunately no........if anyone has tips on refinishing floors it would be appreciated.    Now onto sports related stuff.

First inning ERA 29.25
thru 4 starts

The Reds open up a  can on the Pirates on Saturday at GABP  but on Sunday not so much.  Edinson Volquez 1st inning troubles have carried over into another game allow back to back homeruns in the first inning and digging a 4 zip hold to begin the game with.   His first inning concerns should be least of his worries.  Volquez is having command issues  and with Cueto and Bailey set to return from the DL,  Dusty Baker and the toothpick  should really consider putting Volquez in the bullpen  so that he can calm his nerves and get his head in the game.  



Switching gears to UK......Jerry Tipton. of the Lexington Herald Leader actually has an interesting article on whether or not the UK athletic department gives enough back to the general fund . (In which it gives over 1 million dollars cue Dr. Evil.)  Seriously however in my view Rupp Arena is a fine venue to watch a college basketball game have you ever been there?   I know a bulk of the championships were won when they were in Memorial Coliseum, but you can fill the electricity in the air in that place when students and fans alike get to cheering for their beloved Wildcats.   You don't need luxury boxes for  a college game.   I am sorry UK but for this one Wildcat fan you do not have my support for a new arena.   I am sure the city of Lexington can find better uses for the $350k that is being used for a feasibility study.

In other basketball news Xavier's Tu Holloway has declared for the NBA draft but did not hire an agent, that leaves the door open for him to return if he chooses to pull out of the draft by May 8.  Personally I think anybody leaving early should strongly consider the lockout and not declare, again just my opinion, but hopefully


That is all I have make it a great day people
