Tune into ESPN to watch Blue Jackets-Edmonton Oilers-McJesus from the Nationwide Arena Thursday night. Your play-by-play man will be the incomparable John Buccigross. He had the veal, not chicken, parm to get ready Wednesday night. (He's the handsome one pictured below).

I've fired my copy editor (photo below) after an incorrect score appeared in the headline of my last post in early editions of The Disrespected.

Any #Crew96 fans thinking:
“Too bad this isn’t a 2-game, aggregate goal series.” thedisrespected.com

#Crew96 up 2-0 at the half. Yuma Kubo, after one too many butcheries, got run on a red card and FC Cincinnati is playing with 10. Arftsten (beauty finish on a quick counter) and Chambost (free kick, wow) goals. Here’s Schulte egging in a torqued up Nordecke after the second goal.

Greetings from the second-oldest bar in Cincinnati. Ohtani is 4-for-4 coming to the plate in the bottom of the ninth of a 5-5 Game 3 of the World Series. All I can think is, “I wish Bob Gibson was on the mound for the Jays.” #Chinmusic.

I missed the Hell is Real sign on the way down- but I got the one that says, “ If you died today, where would you spend eternity?” It’s a fair question.

Spending the day at Nationwide Arena, where Cam Atkinson signed a one-day contract so he can retire as a Blue Jacket. I'll have a column posted tomorrow morning at thedisrespected.com.

I usually publish M-W-F at thedisrespected.com. Wrinkle this week: A piece on a soon-to-retire Crew midfielder will hit subscribers' inboxes Thursday morning. Have a nice day.
