@SECbaseball You could just stop number four after the words college baseball. The way blackouts and restricted broadcasting work is ridiculous and needs to be stopped. But it has literally nothing in the world to do with banana ball.

4 unequivocally true takes about the Savannah Bananas. 1. It’s ok to like Banana Ball 2. It’s ok to not like Banana Ball 3. It’s weird to be mad that people like Banana Ball 4. It’s ok to be mad at ESPN for not covering college baseball while they do cover Banana Ball

@SashoTodorov1 100%. It's also a great example of why police corruption and racism actually hurts the justice system's ability to deal with violent criminals.

OJ Simpson is a case of a jury correctly thinking the police were trying to frame someone for a crime. It's just that the person being framed actually did it.

Is so weird to me to see a city that has such a clear ending line

@MyTimeToShineH Clearly made by someone who didn't understand and didn't like Superman.

Give me your honest thoughts on this movie

@maxdubler @maggieofthetown As someone born and raised in New York City, I would agree with you on almost any other cuisine, but what the craft food people have done to pizza is a crime against humanity

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

@HawkEmDownChris 1986 and 2001. Last year was real close as was Joe Carter's walk off, but seeing the Mets win and then later the Yankees lose were my greatest baseball experiences

What’s your favorite World Series of all time?

@broadwaybabyto @3octaves I'm grateful there's no statute of limitations on murder. When we have a real justice department again, hopefully this guy will face charges and share a cell with Derek Chauvin

He murdered Renee Nicole Good. Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”. Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”. He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state. No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

@craig_paglini @KeruboSk I'm not saying she's an angel and I'm not saying she's not. I'm saying any discussion of her behavior is utterly and completely irrelevant to a discussion of why what he did is not okay and why the response of the justice system to what he did is totally wrong.

@craig_paglini @KeruboSk There's literally nothing that girl could have done that would justify this. Maybe she cheated on him with his best friend, doesn't make what he did okay Maybe she also committed a criminal act, and there should be consequences. Still doesn't make what he did okay.

Nothing makes you a feminist more than having daughters. My oldest had been dating a boy from church for a while and for her own reasons, she ended it on Sunday. Monday morning, she walked out to find her car covered in syrup, shaving cream, and dish soap. Our exterior cameras clearly show the boy and a friend doing it overnight. Local police are dragging their feet, calling it a “prank” and suggesting I “calm down and think about the boy’s future” since he is leaving for the Army this summer. I was left standing there with a 17 year old who is hurt, confused, and trying to figure out why this is being treated like nothing, and she was told to worry about his future instead of justice. I am starting to understand how often the person who was wronged is asked to carry the weight so things stay easier for the person who did it. I do not know how women live with that, being expected to absorb it, excuse it, and move on while the people who hurt them are protected from the consequences. ~ abnerdark182 ( threads)

@VinnysCorner1 Bill Parcells

Without saying your age… Who was the coach of your favorite NFL team when you started watching football?

@BBGreatMoments Two or three out of five being Red Sox would tell me Boston has a reason to be bitter. Four out of five and five out of seven being Red Sox tells me this was created by someone from Boston

Ted Williams showing up at 1 and 2 tells you how weird MVP voting can get. Sometimes voters punish a guy for his team. Sometimes they chase a cleaner story. Sometimes they just overthink the obvious best player in the league. Pedro in 1999 is still the one that annoys me most. What’s the worst MVP snub ever?

@BBGreatMoments I like ABS. I hate the challenge aspect. Right now, if a player makes a bad challenge in the fifth inning, it can mean that a game affecting bad call won't be overturned in the 9th. There is literally no reason on earth for anyone but ABS to calm balls and strikes anymore.

The ABS challenge system has been way less annoying than I expected. Do you like it so far?

@Bedalehenry @sheilatebra The timeline shows them to you because you comment on them. If you just scroll past instead of being a jerk, you'll stop seeing them as much.

@sheilatebra More sickly made up bullshit. What is the point of these phoney posts? Sick of my timeline polluted with them.

Anonymous My son is autistic. Nonverbal. He’s eight. We went to a restaurant. Family place. He got overwhelmed. Started stimming. Rocking. Making sounds. People stared. A woman at the next table said loudly “Can’t you control your child? This is ridiculous.” I was gathering our things to leave. We always leave. Then our waiter came over. Young guy. Maybe twenty. He knelt down next to my son. Started rocking with him. Gently. Matching his rhythm. My son stopped. Looked at him... The waiter smiled and said “I got you, buddy. You’re okay.” Stayed there for five minutes. Just rocking. Being present. My son calmed completely. The waiter stood up and said “My brother’s autistic. I know the rocking helps.” Brought my son french fries. On the house. Sat with us while we ate. That woman who complained got up and left. The waiter said “Good riddance.” My son smiled. He never smiles at strangers. We finished our meal. Peacefully. I tried to tip extra. The waiter refused. Said “Your son deserves to eat out like everyone else.” We’ve been back six times. Same waiter. Same kindness. My son looks for him now. Gets excited. Because someone saw him. Not his autism. Him.

@JJfromMA @stargazerseye Having lived in New York City for most of the first 30 years of my life, I can assure you that a person in a Yankee hat is almost always an asshole.

do you ever just see a person in a yankee hat and immediately think they’re an asshole or are you normal

@sw_holocron Bringing her back rewards the worst part of the fandom. The people who attacked acolyte and ahsoka before a single episode aired, the people who harassed the actress who played Rose and are nothing but toxic. They keep saying they're going to quit Star Wars, good riddance.

Gina Carano reveals she’s spoken to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau about returning to Star Wars. “We got onto a Zoom call. It was really nice. Dave is taking over as CEO of Star Wars. We didn’t miss a beat. Jon Favreau got on Zoom and was really funny. He was like, ‘So, where did we leave off?’” (Source: youtube.com/watch?v=YAQf86…)

@TrumpetTiger Art is fundamentally, by its nature, subjective. That's the whole point Any person who claims their opinion about a movie is objectively correct is not worth listening to.

As a human being, you have free will. You are ALLOWED to enjoy the Star Wars Sequels (or any other piece of media!) But...I'm also a human being with free will. So if you use yours to promote objectively God-awful content...I get to call you what you are: a weird little freak.

@tuvya68 @hell_line0 Please remove any and all reference to Babylon 5. From your profile. You clearly understood nothing that show was trying to say

@hell_line0 Oh fuck off. There was nothing unsafe about that conversation. Why are yiu so insecure about your choices?

Me to a new colleague I just met: No, I don’t have kids Her: Oh, that’s too bad for you. Mine are the center of my world. I bet you’ll change your mind later. Me: My husband and I are very happy with our two feline overlords. Her: It’s your loss! Hey fellow women, please don’t do this. You’re demonstrating that you aren’t safe around other women. Not everyone wants to be a mother but we are all entitled to privacy and respect regarding how we build our families.

@isherphi1980 @OleTimeHardball At 10 years old I 100% begged my father to take me to go see my favorite player. Keith Hernandez, as did some of my friends. We would argue over our favorite players, but Keith was just as much in the mix as Doc or Dwight or Gary.

@OleTimeHardball So close,but no. My criteria for HOF,was a 10 yr old begging his Dad to bring him to a game to see...? Not Keith Hernandez.

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Keith Hernandez. Does he get in?

@_goldenmidnight When the rules are busted to favor a few teams, you don't get mad at those teams or their fans. This is 100% the fault for the owners for allowing so many to be so cheap, and not building a real revenue sharing system.

the audacity of dodgers fans to just assume that every single good player will be on their team one day is infuriating to me

@brockpierson SOME men don't like it. Some men do. Women who have them don't care, nor should they. But what baffles me is all the assumptions people make about someone who has a septum ring. It tells you nothing about them. You all are making wild generalizations with no basis in fact

We don't.
