A Good Thing - The Reds are in first place. That’s way good. It’s important to start with a good thing.
A Sad Thing - Jay Bruce hung up his cleats the other day. This community grew up around that young core with Bruce and Votto and Cueto and Bailey in the late aughts, and many around here have shared nostalgia over the last few days. I wish I had anything to add.
I’ve probably written about Jay Bruce more than I have any other player (aside from Joey) in all my years interning here at RR.
