My last day is 12/6. There are 9 other employees reporting directly to me who will also be affected, so if you need great salespeople, let me know and I can refer them to you. But I’ll be less active online as I focus on the job search. Gonna post from UK-LSU on Saturday and have some escape. #BBN

I had planned to take a digital detox at the end of the #RedSox season already, which regrettably came early, but also coincided with finding out last week that my branch was being closed & that I was being let go after 17 yrs. Seeking sales/operation leadership jobs in a greater Lexington.

And there’s no big bat waiting to break through from the minors, and not enough to trade for a bat. The best free agents available are Seiya Suzuki and Bo Bichette. What they have is what they’re going to have next year. Mead, Anthony, Rafaela, Abreu all have to take additional steps forward.

I’ve reserved judgement on Chad Tracy’s in-game decisions until the postseason, and I’ve hated his quick hook both games. I trust Tolle and Gray third time through the order more than Erik Miller since Sept. 1. #RedSox Wake me up when Big Blue Madness tips. #BBN

I don’t miss the other place at all. But I do occasionally have FOMO when something viral like the Cam Schlittler chin photo surfaces from his high school days. And I can’t help searching for what juvenile discourse Bluesky has sheltered me from seeing. Other than that, I like it here much better.

Correct me if I’m wrong … If Padres beat the D-backs & Rays beat Phillies today, then the entire playoff bracket is decided except whoever wins AL West and final NL WC spot. And that’s either TEX/HOU hosting White Sox and ATL hosting AZ/Philly. So, we should be able to get WC game times tonight?

Should make the WC roster a no-brainer on the hitting side if Contreras can play. surprised if they don’t call up Braiden Ward & let him play tomorrow before playoffs. Only question is what they do with the final BP spot. SP4 has to be fresh for next series, so don’t carry him (Bennett?). #RedSox

If the Red Sox and Padres win tonight, this is a hell of a lot of effort to clarify the #5 and #6 seeds In the NL. The Red Sox should send ten guys, and let Jedixson Paez go nine.

So, Red Sox itinerary: Tonight: Fly to FL Sat: Workout/off day Sun: vs Cubs in the Trop, (presumably) fly to NY Mon: Workout in NY Tues-Th: Wild Card Series in NY Fri: Either back in Boston if season is done or back in St. Petersburg Sat (if): at Rays Sun (if): off-day Mon (if): at Rays

Makes no sense to play in St Pete, IMO. Let’s fly 1,000 miles to play 1 game, then turn around the next day and fly 1,000 miles back to NYC for a play game. And Cubs will either fly BOS>Tampa>SD or BOS>Tampa>Chicago. May as well play in Chicago or some other Midwest city (Cincy, CLE, MIL).

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
They’re hoping neither will need to play it in case it has no effect on seeding. Waiting to see if Cubs lose and Padres win?

And this first inning is a perfect example. Leadoff double, K, GO, K.

The #RedSox season 32-46 .410 (.241 avg, .695 OPS w/ RISP) 32-5 .865 (.301, .872) 21-23 .477 (.199, .613) The parallel between RISP success and when they are good goes without saying.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
White Sox playing hungover, likely. They have a division to play for still, but I doubt they win out. Would love for #RedSox to drop to 6 seed, though. Lets go White Sox and Guardians!

Some personal news — I'm leaving my role as a sports reporter at the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper, and today is my final day. The decision to move on was 100% my call, and I'm fortunate for that. I'm so appreciative of everyone and everything from the past 5 years. (1/3)

This is how we ended up knowing a guy that drove his own limousine everywhere for example and why my parents absolutely spent money we did not have to go on trips they could not afford ever (It’s a whole other thread and she would try to pretend otherwise today but that shit was catnip for Mom)

I don’t know if it was this way everywhere in Amway but for the downline organization for a guy named Bill Britt in the Raleigh, NC area it was EXTREMELY intertwined with faith and prosperity It was a more 80’s version of it with simple things like act wealthy and eventually you will be wealthy

I told this story forever again when it was still Twitter prompted by a similar deep dive into how the prosperity gospel had moved into Advocare (the celebrity QB for that one was Drew Brees) When I was a little kid my Dad’s job was Amway.

I’d say it’s mostly learned from natives of UK-UofL rivalry. Went to UK, lived in LOU for 14 yrs, moved back to LEX last 5 yrs. I prefer LEX bc it’s smaller, Keeneland>Churchill, UK>UofL, less neighborhood tribalism. I will say traffic was much better in LOU given size. Arteries in LEX are nightmare

They're also trying to get the Dept of Justice to investigate. Here's why that might actually happen -- Lauren Boebert, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace and Thomas Massey, signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. Only Lauren Boebert might still be in office soon.

But Wait! There's More! In this ethics complaint, it says that Boebert and Navarro went to Mar-A-Lago together ... where they were having sex with Matt Gaetz -- together and separately! (On our dime, of course.) And during all of this...

How many phones were stolen in coordination for an actual police department to GAF? I encounter people daily who have had their phones located via Find My but can’t get police to do anything after filing a report. An employee had AirPods traced & police said they (w)couldn’t get a warrant to knock.

For those not in the know, Texas A&M joined the SEC in 2012 and has only played football against UK twice (2018 and 2026) and none have been in Lexington. They also went 2020-24 with only one trip to Rupp Arena in men’s hoops. (Edited 6:29 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
