@athletelogos @tamar_sher @gnybarra Is this version still available versus the batting glove iteration?

@tamar_sher @gnybarra We love to see it #TarpsOff

“Easily the most hyped I’ve ever been for a day game — probably any game — in my life.” After today's series win over the Royals, #STLCards manager Oli Marmol invited the creators of the “tarps off” crew into the clubhouse to celebrate with the team. Why let this trend stop with @SFAClubBsbl? Oli made it clear he wants this to become a thing. @MatrixMidwest | @KMOV

@MCCCANM Anime, lotion, soft palms…a tale old as time.

All the lights come on as we pass through 18,000’, except one…the taxi light. That doesn’t come on until the Tower issues landing clearance, and it’s a trained habit. If it’s not on, you aren’t cleared to land. Also, we have to figure out what is going on with gloves.

@MCCCANM ORD hasn’t been the same since mid/late-2010’s

Coming from the military, ORD made me nervous as a new-hire to the airline. It has a reputation. Not the approach & landing or weather, but the taxiing procedures. The ground controller can spit out instructions to 10 or more jets in a row without pausing & then yell at someone who takes a wrong turn, all in a single radio transmission. It’s legendary, like watching a teacher unload on a class of fifth-graders. I don’t feel like it’s the same after covid. They had a pause when traffic fell & it’s just a little more chill now. Hard to explain. Anyway, while in the reserves, we had an active duty crew who wanted to take a KC-10 to ORD, staging for an airshow. They brought it up in some ops group meeting. The reserve folks laughed & said absolutely not. We knew the active duty crew would get eaten alive…they had no experience that would compare. I would have screwed it up before I went to the airline, too. Keep your mouth shut, your ears open & don’t stop moving unless told to.

@uniformcritic Got his autograph as a kid when he was playing against the AA-Royals team, The Memphis Chicks back in the day.

Random 90s at bat: Mike Morgan vs Ozzie Canseco (September 12, 1992).

@RustySuretteTV prepare to be inundated with pictures of vivid rainbows in South College Station.

@realgreggd Don’t miss the circus but I sure do miss the clowns.

“Gregg, what’s the infantry like?” “Ummm well is it’s mostly dude crushing each other like this…”

Next time you want to complain about your job, just remember this; back in the days, you could have been a "horse shit picker-upper" like this chap on 12th street between Olive and Locust. But at least he got to wear a cool "official horse shit picker-upper hat"! 🤣 #StLouis

@mpkinney @Micah_CBC Title IX

@Micah_CBC I can’t imagine having as much money as SMU does and being in talent rich Texas and the powerhouse ACC and not playing baseball.

🚨Former College Ballpark Visit🚨 Reverchon Park The home of SMU Baseball. This downtown facility has been refurbished to its state when the Mustangs called it home. Now I just need them to bring back baseball at SMU

@MCCCANM It was more than a decade ago but I think a captain told me that wind surfers had something to do expansion being killed, under the guise of environmentalism.

In 2001, the SFO airport released a study concluding that new runways needed to be built in the bay to separate traffic & reduce the need for visual approaches. The new runways would be far enough apart that parallel approaches could be made even in bad weather. To offset any environmental effects, they would preserve vast stretches of wetlands. The proposal was supported by politicians & airline executives, among others. Environmentalists killed the plan. 25 years later, the FAA effectively kneecapped the airport by restricting parallel approaches. Will SFO now build the new runways? I doubt it. CA can’t actually build things. High-speed rail boondoggle, the 2014 bond that was supposed to build 10 new reservoirs (9 are now cancelled, the last has not begun construction & may never), wildlife bridge, a capital renovation where politicians refuse to reveal the costs & un-auditable homeless spending. Even if a proposal was made today & put before voters, would I support it as a resident? No. Not because SFO doesn’t need it – it does – but because the project would take the trajectory of every other California project & just become a black hole for money to mysteriously vanish into with nothing to show for it while politicians refuse to audit it. The state can’t afford it anyway. We have a looming fiscal crisis unfolding slowly, but it will accelerate soon. So, I’m sad. SFO is kneecapped, the region’s existing infrastructure can’t absorb the overflow & I don’t believe it can build. There is a future here, but its a future of decline. My airline career here isn’t over, but the trajectory has changed. I doubt I’ll be displaced from the left seat, but the days of growth are over.

@TheRyenRussillo haters will say it’s an April fool’s joke.

@BaseballQuotes1 Runner wasn’t even in the frame

Pudge Rodriguez got called up to the big leagues ON HIS WEDDING DAY, so he got married on his AA field, flew to Chicago, and threw out a pair of runners 😤

@echann7 @KMOXSports 🎙️ 🐐

John Rooney's call of Alec Burleson's go ahead two run home run, as heard on @KMOXSports The home run capped off an eight run inning and gave the Cardinals a 9-7 lead. What a day at Busch Stadium. What a day of Cardinals baseball. #STLCards #OpeningDay

@cardinalsgifs Immediately thought of this impending tweet

players who high-five the bat boy are the coolest

@braxton_mccoy Hallie

Need girl dog name suggestions. Was going to name her after one of sisters just to rage bait them but wife doesn't like the idea.

Picked up a new friend on the way home from church.

@Combat_learjet Left half the plane in New Orleans.

Had to leave lots of passengers behind this morning due to being stuck in TSA lines. HATE IT.

Max is currently P1!

Enjoy 20 seconds of bunt practice in the Florida sun with Victor Scott II. #stlcards
