@katrosenfield Do we have enough Sam Neill DNA to clone him?

this seems like a good time to confess that for an embarrassingly long time, I profoundly misunderstood the character of Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park owing to the mistaken belief that he was reading the riot act in this scene to a small, weird-looking adult woman

@joekornik @PhilsTailgate @Masterflip_ So he returns in a week or so and then gets hurt two weeks later

@WTPDavid @PhilsTailgate @Masterflip_ He’s rehabbing in double A right now. He, literally, homered yesterday.

Hypothetical trade; Mets Receive: RHP Gage Wood (51st overall in MLB pipeline) Phillies Receive: Luke Weaver & Luis Robert Jr #lgm 🤝 #ringthebell

I binge watched "Silicon Valley" the last couple of weeks. Season 1 was excellent. After that it feels like "Curb Your Enthusiasm." How can they do the stupidest thing possible that leads to failure?

@joekornik @PhilsTailgate @Masterflip_ He’s injured. Maybe he plays two weeks not two months.

@PhilsTailgate @Masterflip_ I would, however, throw the Mets a low-level prospect for two months of LRJ. Throw a dart at the wall and see what happens.

@Masterflip_ He’s great but the Phillies have 4 strong right handed relievers. When making trades you acquire players you need, not the best players.

Phillies fans are not fully aware of the season Luke Weaver is having. The cost of acquiring the best reliever in baseball, along with an additional year of control, is substantial! I should also include these hypotheticals with highlights of the Phillies squandering leads.

@TylerKepner @MLBNetworkRadio vote for Pedro!

With the Phillies in focus right now, enjoy “Worth The Wait: the story of Game 5 of the 2008 World Series,” airing now on @MLBNetworkRadio. Really fun to put this together with voices like Ryan Howard, Brad Lidge, Geoff Jenkins, Joe Maddon and more.

@JClarkNBCS @JFowlerESPN If he’s ranked higher, does the team get awarded more wins? No? Don’t care.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is ranked 17th in a poll of NFL executives, coaches and scouts by ESPN and @JFowlerESPN Here is the top 10 Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Matthew Stafford Joe Burrow Lamar Jackson Dak Prescott Justin Herbert Drake Maye Jared Goff Caleb Williams Jalen Hurts is behind other quarterbacks like Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels, Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield, Trevor Lawrence Where would you rank Jalen Hurts?

@RoKhanna @netanyahu If Haaretz doesn't take your side it's because you aren't anti-Israel enough

Haaretz, Israel's oldest paper, took my side over @netanyahu. It should be a wake up call for Israel to demolish outposts and bring extremist settlers to justice. haaretz.com/opinion/editor…

@jk006d @grok If Haaretz doesn't take the anti-Israel side that'd be news

.@grok what percentage of Israelis read Haaretz?

@Masterflip_ The Phillies need a left handed reliever. They have plenty of righties. Brooks Raley for Keaton Anthony.

@wpmcgee Ruben Amaro would draft scouts’ kids so they could say they were drafted

I miss when the MLB Draft was 50 rounds and by the 30th round teams would just start doing bits and making irony picks.

@DrunkRepub @WeGotsTheMeats Question: is the food in England really that bad? Answer: if prepared properly, yes.

@ryanmaster0330 @PhilsTailgate Mayza has given up all his runs in a few outings. They traded Soto and acquired Banks. They could trade Alvarado and acquire a better lefty.

@WTPDavid @PhilsTailgate Just need a lefty or 2 at the deadline. Mayza is fine but we desperately need at least One more

FINAL: Phillies 4, Tigers 2!!

@PhilsTailgate The bullpen retired 9 in a row

FINAL: Phillies 5, Tigers 0!!

@PhilsTailgate @BNightengale Ew. Both have negative WAR and are expensive. When they play the way they're playing people will complain Dombrowski didn't upgrade. Pass.

“The Phillies have included Diamondbacks left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. among their possible trade targets for a right-handed hitting outfielder, which also includes Angels right fielder Jo Adell.” -@BNightengale

@PhilsTailgate Dombrowski got him and the pool money for nothing

DEREK HILL IS UNBELIEVABLE!!

@PhilsTailgate As discussed on the podcast the Phillies would rather draft a guy who would go much higher if not for an injury than a lower ceiling player

The Phillies love their shortstops with back injuries.

With the 36th pick of the 2026 MLB Draft, the Phillies select SS Tyler Spangler from De La Salle High School in Concord, California!

@josiahb7710 @DrewSav @LPDonovan There’s a high correlation between them. It’s not 100%, of course, but NH leans red. The GOP always has a shot in an open seat race.

@WTPDavid @DrewSav @LPDonovan State vs federal races

It will break people's brains that NH could be competitive in a year where Dems stand to perform well, but Kelly Ayotte is going to win and the sorts of voters who vote for her almost certainly have enthusiastically (and recently) voted for Sununus, many going back decades.

LA prop houses are so cool. You just want to take everything until you realize you came for one table.
