As you might surmise from the alliterative title, Mrs. Pops and I are expecting child number two around mid-May.
    Now, I do not often post anything of value hereabouts and am usually only entertaining myself with my absurd blitherings, but I thought this might be a good opportunity for me to pull back the curtain and invite everyone here to share some of the joy of our imminent arrival.
    For those of you interested, I am asking for predictions about sex (we are not going to find out), weight, and length in inches. For the number huggers among us, I offer the following information to aid in predictions: My first child was a boy 9lbs. 8oz. and 22 in. long. My wife is 6'2" and ???lbs. (quite slim) and I am 6'1" and 203. I am one of three boys and my wife is one of two girls.

Name shout-outs might be fun too.

The results shall be posted here as soon as the little one gets here and the winner gets and authentic Tony LaRussa 8x10 glossy "enhanced" and signed by yours truly.

Thanks and let 'em rip. (the guesses, not my wife of course)    

It has come to my attention that Fat Vegas Alan, and Bob Estes have liluns on the way as well. A big congratulations to them! The more Reds fans that dislike Paul Daugherty the better.
