@cselley Halifax went NDP in the 6 federal elections before the Justin Trudeau government. But I’m not sure Avi Lewis would appeal to a Maritime electorate.

Call for opinions: Is there a riding Lewis could plausibly win without replacing an incumbent Dipper, which he has pledged not to do?

@achester99 What a fun list! Tim Duncan at 19 points is perfect.

Most NBA games with exactly _ points: 0: Greg Kite 295 1: Reggie Evans 61 2: Harvey Catchings 193 3: Nic Batum 116 4: TR Dunn 160 5: Derek Fisher 117 6: Michael Cage 151 7: Fisher 102 8: PJ Brown 122 9: Fisher 111 10: Charles Oakley 125 11: Jason Kidd 106 12: John Stockton 114

@Lord_Bob I enjoyed the article. I rooted for Gainey but I'm not sure he was as good at any aspect of the game as Craig Ramsay.

I'm not 60-70% happy with this, didn't keep my thesis running strongly through all 4,000 words, but this is what happens when I snatch at ideas as they pass rather than writing them out properly. Anyway I'm glad to have come away still thinking Gainey was good, just not HoF.

@Xavier_412 @Hoopss The correct answer.

@Hoopss Steph MJ LeBron KD Wemby

You got $15 to spend

@colbycosh @tyleryaremchuk It's the sort of play Pujols would have chosen to make.

@tyleryaremchuk "Never, ever do this, unless it so happens that you can."

An absolutely absurd play and a perfect example of how having elite baseball IQ can change a game.

@righttimebomani @getnickwright I heartily endorse Wright’s disagreement on Michael Phelps’s high placement. The only swimming stroke that counts is the fastest one, freestyle. Unless I miscounted, Phelps one a single non-relay freestyle Olympic gold. Katie Ledecky won EIGHT.

@JackMcPher95405 @nut_history The correct answer.

@nut_history Andrew Jones, Gary Pettis, Devon White.

In your opinion, who are the top 3 defensive CF in your lifetime

@FitnessLawyerCA @OleTimeHardball The correct answer.

@OleTimeHardball Dawson Raines Winfield

Create a 3 man Outfield for the entirety of their careers

@colbycosh @Tyson_MLB Backup catcher who hit .220. Managed the Jays for a season and a half finishing under .500 (the team was above .500 in the years before and after). Longtime announcer delivering platitudes and conventional wisdom in a voice reminiscent of Wallace Shawn. What more could you want?

@Tyson_MLB I confess that, to me, this is a new and unfamiliar definition of excellence.

"The Level of Excellence is an award bestowed by the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club, recognizing tremendous individual achievement." I believe that spending 30+ years with the organization in various roles, both on and off the field, fits that bill.

@FondOfBeetles Pancho and Lefty

Lyrics/songs where the voice is third-person, telling a tale? No I/me/you. A vignette of a play of a scene of something interesting. I think British music excels at this. Mostly Blur. Anything to offer?

@notgaetti @phkeane @baseball_ref @CodifyBaseball @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @TwinsAlmanac @BNightengale @MetsMissy @Johnsense38 Refresh my memory, how well did he pitch in the 1992 postseason?

@phkeane @baseball_ref @CodifyBaseball @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @DOBrienATL @TwinsAlmanac @BNightengale @MetsMissy @Johnsense38 He didn’t pitch in the 1993 World Series, but he was the Opening Day starter for the Blue Jays that year, who went on to win the World Series. The team gave him a ring. His fourth.

Not enough people talk about Jack Morris • 254 W, 2478 K, 3824.0 IP, 43.5 WAR • 5x ASG, 4x World Series Champion • Was in 7 postseason series, won 6 • Pitched at least 240 innings 10x • Named 1991 World Series MVP • Most wins of the 1980s (162) • Made at least 34 starts 11x • Faced over 1000 batters 10x • Finished top-10 in CYA voting 7x • 14 consecutive OD starts (most ever) • 4 OD starts for WS Winners (most ever) • Pitched a no-hitter on short rest in 1984 • Last player to go 10 innings in the postseason • During his MLB-record stretch of 14 consecutive Opening Day starts, Morris won 4 World Series with 3 different teams (Detroit, Minnesota, and Toronto) • On October 27, 1991, recorded the most iconic pitching performance in postseason history, making his second consecutive World Series start on three days' rest (having also pitched Game 1 and Game 4!) and out-dueling Atlanta's John Smoltz by throwing a 10-inning shutout to win Game 7 and clinch the championship for his hometown Minnesota Twins

@MLBDynastyGuy @OleTimeHardball That’s the one I was looking for.

@OleTimeHardball I would take Albert Pujols rookie season over several of these. .329/37/130 tough to beat

MLB's all-time rookie seasons, according to #grok 1. Fred Lynn '75 2. Mike Trout '12 3. Ichiro Suzuki '01 4. Jackie Robinson '47 5. Fernando Valenzuela '81 6. Mark Fidrych '76 7. Aaron Judge '17 8. Shohei Ohtani '18 9. Dwight Gooden '84 10. Shoeless Joe '11

@Patrick774113 @haralabob I just checked Cleaning the Glass which strips out garbage time and the Lakers fare a little better, 9th best scoring margin. However, that site still has their expected record at 33-25 which would have them 5th in the conference and 2 games out of the play-in.

@Patrick774113 @haralabob Scoring margin for the season has them tied for 9th in the conference. Their strength of schedule has been weaker than the average team thus far and is pretty stiff for the rest of the season.

How we lookin?

@BattingStanceG Running to first is almost always the best part of @BattingStanceG impressions.

@TristinHopper 99 is our greatest prince. He’s never let us down.

There is a non-zero chance that Wayne Gretzky told Trump to knock it off with the Canada threats and that the crisis is over.

@howardanglin @Citizen004 Stephen Brunt is fine. Cathal Kelly seems to hate sports.

@cselley “Terrible” was redundant.

This is like a fictional ad in a terrible CBC drama about Canadian politics.

If you told me in 1987 that Jose Canseco, Eric Davis, Mark McGwire, Darryl Strawberry, Don Mattingly, and Dwight Gooden wouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame but the Padres’ shitty catcher I was getting in every other pack was gonna make it I’d have thought you were fucking nuts.
