@Coachhedge @mike_petriello @MLB They’re tied for last in the majors in walks so maybe so! (Although both are above average in runs scored per game, so maybe not making terrible decisions so far?)

@mike_petriello 2 of the worst teams in @MLB - their hitters probably dont take pitches
English
The Cardinals and Rockies still haven't had their batters make a single ABS challenge yet. This is my favorite fun fact so far.

@FermiLevels @JJ_McCullough @Gavin_McInnes Either (a) you're 85+ years old and really miss saying things like "what a gay and dandy time we had" or (b) this is the most performative BS I've read all week
English
@JJ_McCullough @Gavin_McInnes Well, since you mentioned it, I don't like the fact that the word "gay" was taken from us.
So I don't like it when people use the word "gay" to mean homosexual.

@JoeMarcou @hutchinson Because he doesn’t speak for all moderates?
English
@hutchinson wait if your goal is to beat reps and if the moderates would vote for a prog or a moderate and the progs would vote only for a prog shouldn't dems go with a prog in your opinion?
English
Keep in mind that this whole last of discourse kicked off because a champagne socialist tankie larper said he would rather help a fascist win the presidency than vote for a pretty progressive governor from CA.
But sure bud it’s the libs who don’t appreciate the current moment 👍

@hutchinson Society run by far right fascist oligarchs with masked gangs roving the streets. Liberals: "But real threat here is the far left communists" I think maybe you're a little more Trumpy than you think

@DaddyMike93 @MySportsUpdate @MikeSilver @RamsNFL Silver - who evidently talked to zero Rams for this story - has a history of trashing the McVay Rams because he was VERY pro-Jeff Fisher and had access to Jared Goff. There are literally dozens of players who speak extremely highly of the Rams org, even after moving on from them.
English
The #Rams urged Cooper Kupp to retire after last season, and Kupp believed they cautioned potential suitors against paying him more than the veteran minimum, per @MikeSilver
Kupp signed with the Seahawks for 3 years, $45M, scored a TD in the NFC Championship to beat the Rams, and is now headed back to the Super Bowl.
This is a tremendous read: nytimes.com/athletic/69987…

Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp: "Quit making me f***ing look for you so long. Go win your damn Super Bowl, kid." (🎥 @insidetheNFL)

@ndonovan99 @danorlovsky7 I care about Matt Stafford! I care about Seahawks-Pats too, but are we supposed to obsessively think and talk about them and nothing else for the next two weeks?
English
@danorlovsky7 No one cares about Matt Stafford today, the Pats are playing the Seahawks in what should be a great game
You should keep your obsession of Matt Stafford to yourself until the offseason
I won’t post the mouse with the feeding tube gif here, but it would probably be appropriate
English
Matthew Stafford in 6 career playoff losses:
329 Pass YPG
11-3 TD-INT
100.7 Pass rtg
He's the only QB in NFL history with a rating of 100+ in his playoff losses.
English
it will be the seahawks vs patriots in the super bowl
Jay Cuda@JayCuda
FYI the patriots will play either the rams or the seahawks in the super bowl. it depends on the outcome of the rams vs seahawks game which is about to start
English
@LightShadowOnyx @JacsonBevens Please stop. Those interceptions count! Darnold threw them and the Rams picked them, which is why they won in November. And why does one of these teams need to be a fraud? Obviously Seahawks playing better lately, but they're both awesome.
English
@JacsonBevens seahawks in the first game had 4 int and still almost won the game are we sure rams aren't the frauds
English
Seahawks just laid down the biggest playoff blowout in 10 years while the Rams barely tiptoed past the Cardinals, Panthers, and Bears after losing to the Falcons.
But yeah, the 15-3 #1 seed with the best point differential in the NFL are the fraudulent ones.
Clash Of The Horns 2021 SB Champions@RamfamPodcaster
@JacsonBevens 6 ints 2 Tds for that bum sam darnold. Force him to win Seattle the game. Take away his run game. Show the world how fraudulent Seattle is
English
@mjh609 @Philly_Isaac @Senga2Alvarez Yeah, I don't even think Rollins was the best player on his own team that year (I'd take Utley). And Pujols and David Wright pretty clearly better than Rollins too.
English
English
@Philly_Isaac @Senga2Alvarez Yes, great season. But it wasn't even as good as Lindor's 2018 or 2024. And sure, Rollins won the MVP, but Lindor has done much much better in MVP voting overall. I'm scratching my head trying to see how you convinced yourself Rollins was better. (And again, Rollins was great!)
English
@Gunn_Brian @Senga2Alvarez Rollins had one of the greatest seasons of all time by a shortstop. And was an essential piece to a championship team. I’m taking Rollins.
English
@Philly_Isaac @Senga2Alvarez Of all the guys he overlooked, JIMMY ROLLINS is the guy who made you laugh? I love Rollins, but Lindor has a higher career average, OBP AND SLG in a tougher offensive era. Probably a better defender too. Lindor all day.

@DaleWinger @Kaagerator @Ajp1106 I didn't discount the int'l signing - I'm crediting Luhnow with Framber. And he did a great job landing Yordan too. Even nailed the (super high) draft picks. But you're also comparing apples to apples and made some mistakes in there, which you just glossed right over.
English
John Mozeliak’s record as St. Louis Cardinals GM/POBO: 1582-1352
That is 3rd best in all of baseball in that stretch (Since ‘07)
1x World Series champion, 2x NL Pennant winner, 6x division champion, 5 NLCS appearances, 10 postseason appearances
Stop the revisionist history.
English
@DaleWinger @Kaagerator @Ajp1106 I love Luhnow, but Altuve and Springer were drafted by Luhnow's predecessor, Ed Wade. Correa, Tucker, and Bregman were all top 5 draft picks (when Mo's teams were too good to draft that high). Framber was an int'l free agent and Yordan acquired via trade.
English
@Kaagerator @Ajp1106 Luhnow signed/drafted in Houston: Altuve, Springer, Correa, Tucker, Framber, Bregman, Yordan
Who of that caliber has Mo developed over that time period? Year 18 and the cupboard is empty
English
@dan_davis86 @MLBNow This is 100% NOT why Shildt was fired. Where are you even getting this nonsense?
English
@MLBNow And they fired Shildt that off-season because he disagreed with the Front Office's approach. Turns out, he was right, and the Cardinals have run their farm system into the ground and are now rebuilding. #InShildtWeTrust
English
The answer is the 2021 St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals won 17 straight games in September of that season.

@ChiefJSully @bchad_6 @colincowherd First, this is wrong (Cards have 3 WS apps in the past 20 yrs, KC 2). Also, why 20 yrs? Why not 25 or 30 or 40? Or why not regular-season wins? Or playoff appearances? Or playoff wins? Is it because the Royals look worse the more you step out of your narrow definition of success?
English
@bchad_6 @colincowherd Same amount of World Series appearances and wins in the last 20 years
English
St. Louis is currently 19th in MLB attendance. There was an argument it was the most rabid & loyal baseball city in America less than ten years ago.
English
@HodgePodge24 @Ajp1106 I agree Mo's best work was from '07-'16. Not sure I would call the latter era - when Cards averaged a record of 85-77 and went to the playoffs in 4 of 8 years - is "dogshit." You're kinda proving AJP's point.

I think a fun running series would be something like: What's that business's actual "business"? EG: Airlines don't make money by flying ppl around. The profits come from credit cards. What are other industries whose profit center would surprise most people?

@Jimbo4881113333 @kristenkleinn @spicymarinara__ @jonfavs JD, I don't want to fight about this, but it seems clear you just missed the post where Megyn attacked Beyonce.
English
Manalapan, NJ 🇺🇸 English
I did a quick segment on the Nazi/eugenics accusations last week. I think they're silly. I think you attacking Beyonce is also silly. This is now day 14 of roadblocked coverage on right-wing media.
Again: my bet is that the overwhelming majority of people would find the criticism of Sweeney and Beyonce impossibly stupid.
But if you want to keep it going, all the power to you!
Megyn Kelly@megynkelly
See how he’s got to move the goalposts? Now it’s not a leftist controversy unless a Democrat *politician* weighs in. Can’t say I blame him tho for wanting to ignore the hundreds of blue-haired leftists crying “eugenics” and “naziism!” all over the digital world.

@chriscfore @straightbetchlk I'm a former copy editor. There's no reason to put a comma after "yours." You can if you want, but it's fine either way. And if we're being anal about grammar, you should have put quotes around "yours" and "and." But this is X, so no need to do any of that.
English
@straightbetchlk There should be a comma after yours, and before and.

Who is this skinny little dude mouthing off at Machado? A coach? Machado would eat you alive. Can't stand these guys who tough guy walk by and slyly say something. Not standing on business.

Check out SUPERMAN, written and directed by my brother @JamesGunn, in theaters today! It's a perfect blend of heart and humor and spectacle and naughty flying dogs. It's also a nice tribute to my dad, who would've turned 84 today, and would've been prouder than anyone to see it.
