@PGALouis @sam_golf I love Snedly. It will be another great story for people who care about players if he wins.

@sam_golf I can’t believe he’s only 45 I just presumed he was well into his 50s

Crazy to think if Snedeker wins tomorrow, he’ll only be the second oldest winner on the PGA Tour this year.

@Robertinno53 @Irish_Cowboy88 @kaj33 @UCLAMBB I watched Pete at 14 in an SC textile tournament, and as a college player vs. UFla. Picture in my mind: Pete with LSU flying out of bounds and passing behind his head to his blond Aussie teammate for an open jumper. Most fascinating player I've ever seen.

@Irish_Cowboy88 You must be crazy, he wasn't the best player at NC at the time Now for your information there Was @kaj33 won 3 at @UCLAMBB Bill Walton? Ucla Pistol Pete averaged 44.2 for TRES AÑOS!! AT LSU.

🏀 March Madness True or False Michael Jordan is the greatest college basketball player of all time.

@sam_golf It burns me when fans who couldn't carry a player's toenail clippings call the player garbage. Going after the family is far worse.

Just desperately sad the impact Bethpage had on a legend of the booth.

@kirbyarnold @wigwamresort @Mariners @RealBradAdam Brad's a good dude.

Awesome afternoon on the ⁦@wigwamresort⁩ Red Course with @Mariners TV host ⁦@RealBradAdam⁩, who put his second shot on 15 this close from 160 yards. Also rolled in a tricky slider for birdie on 18. Thanks for joining us Brad! #TVstar #GolfInspiration

@RyanDivish Another decision I like. We'll see whether it's a good one.

Logan Gilbert will start on opening day.

@awstar11 @KenGardner11 And diced onions. My oh my.

@KenGardner11 Yellow mustard

Don't add anything. It's perfect as is.

@Jimfrombaseball Sisler's 258 hits in a single season was a record I thought would never be broken. Then came Ichiro's 262 hits. Wonderful hitters have trouble imagining it. The power stuff is a pipe dream; he did what he did. With the right team around him in 2001, the result was 116 wins.

"There's nobody like Ichiro in either league—now or ever. He exists strictly within his own world, playing a game 100 percent unfamiliar to everyone else. The game has known plenty of 'slap' hitters, but none who sacrifice so much natural ability for the sake of the art. Maury Wills wasn't going to do anything but hit singles. Matty Alou wasn't a slugger in disguise. Ichiro, a man of wondrous strength, puts on impressive power-hitting displays almost nightly in batting practice. And he'll go deep occasionally in games, looking very much like someone who could do it again, often. Mostly, though, Ichiro is death by handkerchief. In the first inning, with lefty Mark Redman nibbling on the outside corner, Ichiro sliced a ground ball single between third and short. Next time up, with the A's perhaps leaning that way again, he singled through the other side of the diamond. The man lives for hits, little tiny ones, and the glory of standing atop the world in that category. Every spring, scouts or media types write him off, swearing that opposing pitchers have found the key, and they are embarrassingly wrong." Bruce Jenkins. "Ichiro Suzuki" Art by Naoko Morisawa.

@cougsgo Good story well told. I enjoyed reading it, even though I already knew the details.

He could have kicked my ass that night in Sacramento 30 years ago, but my chin was saved by Sam Perkins or David Wingate as The Glove and I engaged in an epic “bleep you” verbal battle in the Sonics’ Arco Arena locker room. #GoCougs jimmoorethego2guy.substack.com/p/the-gary-pay…

@lucyshow11 Stairway to Heaven.

What song do you think was playing in the background? 🎶

@HowardTheDuck48 @AntiLeftMemes I'm in for "Gimme a Break, Man" if it covers his whole life, up to the autopen/wandering around period. Anyone who's visited a nursing home knows the rest of the story, which is about Dr. Jill and the Minions, a different book.

@AntiLeftMemes "I don't Recall" or maybe "Gimme a Break, Man" or "Beach President" or "The Autopen is Mightier than the Sword".

Joe Biden is writing a Presidential memoir book. What should it be named?

@Joe_Fann I got a kick out of it.

@AllenADBI Just being silly

Many ppl are saying Colt Emerson is already the best player in baseball.

@CynicalPublius @Pixie1z OK, I'm out.

@Pixie1z A Bouncing Betty.

What is the absolute worst thing to step on barefoot?

@GolfDigestAU How are you going to hit that shot?

What are the most passive-aggressive things a fellow golfer can say?

@NewRandomGeek @monsterhunter45 Had a summer job once, digging postholes in red clay, then seating the posts and stringing and nailing the barbwire. Hot, sweaty, dirty farm work. dangrrous when stringing the wire. Good experience, but not every day of my life, thank you very much.

@monsterhunter45 Dead on correct. Here's a nice, simple job I'm sure you're familiar with that would send them running away in terror before the first day was up, bailing and stacking hay.

Yeah, I know this is engagement bait bullshit from a European with no clue, but I see this kinda RETURN TO FARM post on X all the time, and it's always some idylic dreamscape of rural niceness, which makes it really fucking obvious to all of us who come from farming backgrounds that these people have zero fucking clue, and would probably end up wrapped around an auger on their first day. News flash. Farming is HARD. What these people are imagining is rural living on a big plot of land, where they've got income from something else, and maybe a couple of animals to keep down the grass and a little garden on the side. That's what I do now that I'm a rich guy. It's pretty awesome. I also know that if I had to make a living off this land I could probably do it (because unlike these weenies, I know how) but I don't want to, because it would absolutely fucking suck. Because in reality making a living off being a farmer is brutal. It's nonstop backbreaking labor where everything that can go wrong, will. And it will go wrong at absolutely the worst possible time. (especially if cows are involved!) Modern squishy internet people do not even sorta comprehend how hard farming is. I worked on dairy farms. I can't speak for the dirt farmers but I'm sure they've got their own set of wacky nonsense they get to put up with. It is LONG hours. I once did a stint opening up a new dairy where I worked 72 hours straight, with a couple of thirty minute naps in a truck or on the barn floor snuck in. There's nothing quite as fun as dealing with fifteen hundred pound animals and dangerous heavy equipment when you're so tired you're starting to see things that aren't there. Oh, and you'd better get real comfortable with blood, shit, piss, and death. Dealing with lots of farm animals is not for the squeamish. They're going to get sick, get injured, get stuck in infuriating and mysterious ways, and die stupidly on you. Every kind of livestock has got its peculiar way of being a pain in the ass. Cows are loveable, curious, stupid, and sometimes homicidal. I've been kicked, trampled, hooked, and smashed into/through fences. These sheltered idiot city people say crap like "go buy a farm" having zero comprehension of how much good farmland costs, or the insane costs of equipment, or livestock involved. If they saw what a good tractor cost they'd shit themselves. "Buy land"... Have you priced land? Oh, you can still buy cheap land, but it's usually cheap for a reason. As in you can't farm it, or it doesn't have water, or it's a nightmare hellscape of windy death. So farming is expensive to get into, hard to make a profit at, and insanely difficult the entire time. Oh yeah, and just when you think you've got it figured out, the government will absolutely fuck with you, because it's also super regulated. Yay. "skip the degree"... Lady, I got into college on an ag scholarship, and started out as an ag science major. Successful farmers are educated because this shit is complicated. (I then changed majors and got an accounting degree so I wouldn't have to pull calves at 3:00 AM, a decision which I have not regretted) These fuckers think farming is just strolling around in a sun dress picking wild flowers or some shit. Oh hell no. Farmers farm because they want to, and the juice is worth the squeeze for them.

@oldbooksguy Jane Austen, "Emma". This is the kind of brat I admire.

What's a book you've read multiple times?

@rlmgrandpa @ITalk21 Old, raggedy copy (my bad) of Billy Whiskers: The Autobiography of a Goat. 1902 edition, beautifully illustrated in black and white, and color plates. It's a sin that I haven't had it re-bound.

@ITalk21 1st edition Lonesome Dove & 1st edition Jurassic Park

What is the book in your collection you value most? Whether that be because it's a nice book or it has a story behind it!

@awstar11 @cdrsalamander Paint.

@cdrsalamander How do they keep her so rust free?

She looks great

@rlmgrandpa @AuthorGFAllen So do I. I've had as many as five going at once. Not particularly proud of it, but two makes sense. You don't want to disturb or tax your mind just before bed.

@AuthorGFAllen Yes, at least 2 & often 3.

Do you usually read multiple books at the same time?

@cougsgo And as for Cal, like Randy, he's being himself. Right down the middle. He's equally entitled to foibles as Randy. He tried to put it to bed. If this kerfuffle doesn't go away, it won't be his fault, and it may not be Randy's either. I'm hoping for a new drama elsewhere

Can Cal and Randy happily co-exist? Could it fracture the Mariners and hurt their chances of winning a World Series? Or are these dumb-ass questions from a dumb ass who’s just trying to stir things up for the sake of clicks and page views? #GoCougs jimmoorethego2guy.substack.com/p/can-cal-and-…
