The wife and I bought our first place in the city back in the middle of last summer and we still really love everything about it. HOWEVA, the constant upkeep is reaaaaaly testing my skills as a so-called “man of the house.”
I did manage to fix a plumbing issue on my own and rather quickly – quickly is about the only way you can fix a plumbing issue – but I didn’t fare so well on a drywall patching and re-painting. I suspect my dad will have to make a few more trips to the city with his tool box over the next couple months … he just doesn’t know it yet. I’ll buy him a hot dog or something.
Around the league …
Listening back to Craig Counsell, he said Nelson would be back out playing catch tomorrow, not necessarily back on the mound. But again, he characterized this as "just part of the bumps in the road in this thing that we need to get through."

#STLCards manager Mike Shildt, on watching Alex Reyes throw live BP this morning:
"I just was cackling in the outfield to myself at some of the pitches being thrown. Just dirty pitches. Elite pitches. I was just happy."

My solution to fix baseball: Ban relief pitchers. https://t.co/U4SE4okH58

It's *way* too easy to throw at max++ effort if you only have to pitch 1 inning every 2nd or 3rd day. Mediocre ex-starters get massive boosts to their K rate and FB velocity when this way. Baseball has to make it harder to use the parade of 98-mph, 2-pitch, 1-inning relievers. pic.twitter.com/PgnI1euryB
