Jalen Brunson on how Donald Trump’s presence at MSG will impact Game 3: “They canceled all of the watch parties outside…fans can watch at home or whatever, I don’t care. I’ll be on the court playing as hard as I can for my president. He represents every Knicks’ fans’ beliefs. He embodies what it means to be a New Yorker.”

Raise your hand if you think Kristen Welker should be FIRED from NBC for being a Fake News Reporter

@CarmineSabia Sorry but I do not respect lying, unethical, treasonous, corrupt, felonious rich boys. No need to be jealous of a woman who is braver than you are. Release the Epstein files.

@DawnsMission Actually every American is waiting for him to utter a truthful sentence. So far, no luck.

🚨 President Trump just did what every real American has been waiting for. He dropped the mic, walked off the interview with Kristen Welker, and refused to waste another second. At this point it is not worth President Trump’s time to meet with these reporters. I am happy that he ended the interview. All she did is ask for evidence of cheating which is so overwhelmingly obvious that a person with a 3rd grade education would know better. Shame on the press for being complicit.

Just to be clear...President Trump walking out in the middle of an interview with NBC is EXACTLY what I voted for.

Oli Marmol with the rare mid-AB pinch hitter with runners at second and third and no outs. I love the aggressiveness. #STLCards

@Buccigross Why not try it? Because America has too many stupid people (Rogan included) who are too willing to believe any conspiracy theory and discount science.

When I was with the St. Louis Cardinals, we had a team meeting about hitting with two strikes. Albert Pujols was leading it. At the time, he was hitting something ridiculous with two strikes. I want to say it was around .265. Naturally, everyone wanted to know how. So somebody asked: "What's your two-strike approach?" Albert's answer surprised me. He said: "I think fastball inside and hit it back through the middle." That was it. No complicated mechanics. No secret formula. Just: Fastball inside. Back through the middle. I remember sitting there thinking: "Why would you think fastball inside with two strikes?" So somebody asked him. And Albert said something I'll never forget. He said: "If I can hit a fastball inside back through the middle..." "I can hit the fastball away." "I can stay on the changeup." "I can stay on the slider." "I can stay on the curveball." Then he paused. And said: "The ball gets deeper." That's when it clicked for me. He wasn't trying to pull the inside fastball. He was using one thought to cover everything. The more I thought about it... The more it made sense. So I started trying it. And it changed the way I thought about hitting with two strikes. Instead of worrying about every pitch... I focused on one. Fastball inside. Back through the middle. See it DEEP. If you're struggling with two strikes, here's what I'd do tonight: Round 1: Short Box (Set the distance somewhere between front toss and batting practice.) Have a coach throw only fastballs inside. Your only thought: "Fastball inside." Drive the ball back through the middle. 10 swings. Round 2: Mix Speeds Now the coach mixes: - Fastballs - Changeups - Breaking balls - Sliders But your thought never changes. You're still looking: "Fastball inside." 10 swings. Round 3: Two-Strike BP Every pitch starts 0-2. Compete. Battle. Use the same approach. "Fastball inside." Back through the middle. 10 swings. That's it. 30 focused swings. One thought. One approach. One goal. Drive the baseball back through the middle. One thing I've learned: Most hitters get worse with two strikes because they add thoughts. Albert got better because he removed them. With two strikes, simplicity is a weapon. Thank you for reading, Jermaine Curtis P.S. - If you enjoyed this and thought it was helpful, please share it. (When you share it, it tells me you want more content like this.)

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.” “I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking) “I don’t want you to ever forget this story.” “20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?” Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.” Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.” “We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.” Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

@johnrabe Agree but cardinals are throwing away at bats, making stupid mistakes in the field and pitching from behind/without aggression. Won’t make it much further if this continues.

Predictably, the Fox broadcast is salivating over Pete Crow-Armstrong. He’s the new Javy Baez—a completely overrated fabrication of the national media. Lifetime .714 OPS, 103 OPS+. A complete fabrication. #STLCards

The more time and energy President Trump spends on his revenge tour. The less chance he has of being a great president.

Tim McCarver: “I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the plate where I belonged, and that the only thing I knew about pitching was that I couldn’t hit it.”

The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone's time on your politics also fyi from @LauraLoomer - Dorothy Ames Jeffress, the wife of Judge Christopher R. Cooper, the Obama-appointed judge who just ordered the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, served as the attorney for both Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi. yet another example of a “Get Trump” ruling by another leftist activist judge with an anti-Trump wife. Do they not realize 🇺🇸 wants @realDonaldTrump to win? Stop handicapping him & playing politics

@STL_Stats_Facts I raise you the July 20, 2004 game at Wrigley when the Cubs jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the 2nd and led 8-2 after 6. Fortunately Albert went 5-5 with 3 home runs. So Taguchi hit a game tying HR in the 8th and Albert hit his third in the 9th. An all-time classic.
