Morning folks. Hope all the dads get treated to a nice Father's Day. Our plan is to enjoy a day outside at Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, and a dinner at the Machine Shed.

Mailday: Brian Kong does some seriously nice sketch cards.

Machine shed is good eats.
That is a nice sketch card

I've been doing yoga for 2 months now. Started out at 228. Just weighed myself, and checked in at 211. I've changed nothing, except doing yoga at least 4x a week. My goal is to get down to 200, then bulk back up a little. Hoping this drastically reduces the back/sleep issues I've been having.

I think I'll run a nice contest, when I get down to 200

Every lb lost is strain off your back and knees. Specifically 4lbs pressure off your knees per pound lost. Nice job, keep it up

Phillies still suck...

The flexibility and range of motion I've gained, over the last two months, is insane. I can easily do things I couldn't do then. Have noticed much difference in my back pain, but I'm still 211 lbs packed into 5'8". That's likely going to take awhile to resolve itself. I feel like my metabolism has increased greatly, also. Just feel better, overall. Never saw myself being a yoga guy, but I love the way DDP does it.

I downloaded T25 a few weeks ago. Going to incorporate the cardio part of that, two times a week. Never thought I'd say this, as I've always been a sprinter type, but I think I'm going to try to run the city 5k next May.

That they do. Poor Utley. Always loved watching him play. Him suffering through this season, is BS. My Royals have been tagged as a potential trade candidate for Utley. I really hope they pull that off. Infante is a big upgrade, over what we've had the last 30 years, but adding Utley to our lineup would be great for both parties.

Utley is a 10/5 guy and more importantly, him and his wife are West Coast folks.

I actually don't see him getting traded, but IF he does, I'd say Oakland or more likely, SF...

It is unlikely, but we do have a deeper farm than either of those teams
