@Sunshine1598675 @ChrisMartzWX Different strokes for different folks but, for the record, Michael McDonald’s contribution to Aja was backup vocals on two tracks and nobody in the band Toto played on it at all.

@ChrisMartzWX The Eagles are great, and I’m sick of hipsters pretending they aren’t. The Eagles are way better than Steely Dan. In fact, Steely Dan’s “legendary” Aja album is only good because of Toto and Michael McDonald

The Beatles are not better than The Rolling Stones. And the fact that the Eagles didn’t make this list is an abomination.

@CaryKelly11 I personally like The Stones and several others better but they are the most important and influential group in history. For better and worse they were pioneers of “Rock” music and they broke up before they became embarrassing . Got to give them that at least.

The Beatles were a glorified pop boy band and they really weren't that great, IMO. I wouldn't pay money for their music or to go their concert. Give me the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin.

@theoliverxp When I first heard the song I excitedly headed to Kokomo anticipating sun, beach and tropical drinks. I was surprised when I arrived and none of that existed. What did I honestly expect in Central Indiana anyway?

When I was a kid, I heard this song called "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. You might have heard of it. The Beach Boys sing that there's this island off of the Florida Keys called Kokomo and it's dreamy and filled with romance and leisure. When the song was written, and when I heard it in the early 90s, you probably wouldn't know if Kokomo was a real place or not. Maybe if you were really into geography or you went to the library and you looked it up in a reference book. Today you ask Siri if it was real and then you would go on with your life like the question never existed. I am starting to think the ability to learn any fact you want has been a net loss in human civilization and even more devastating, for the human mind.

@dirtyhouse530 @BBGreatMoments Both he and Gwynn are solid HOFers but, yeah, if you’re talking the best ever you should do more than hit a bunch of singles. Singles are great, don’t get me wrong, but for top ten they both gotta go.

@BBGreatMoments Once again Ichiro and his singles couldn't be more overrated

Top 10 Best Pure Hitters Ever. who's missing?

@NYCMayor We closed the budget hole for the down payment needed for our first home when my mother in law gave us $10,000.

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

@OleTimeHardball WAR isn’t perfect but it’s probably as good as we have right now. Sandberg had a more pronounced but shorter peak- he has four seasons higher than Lou’s highest season and did far better in MVP voting, Lou only made the top ten once. I do believe Lou deserves the hall though.

One elite 2B for the entirety of his career Lou Whitaker or Ryne Sandberg?

@JerseyShoreScre @nut_history He’s in the Hall of Friends with Jerry Reinsdorf.

@nut_history What is the tier below the Hall of Very Good? That is where Harold Baines belongs.

Name three players that should be in the Baseball Hall of Very Good instead of Baseball Hall of Fame

@ChrisMartzWX You mean they’re not just sitting in their basement counting piles of cash like Scrooge McDuck?

Most billionaires became rich because they built companies, products, or services that millions of people voluntarily chose to use, and their wealth largely comes from owning stock in those companies rather than collecting a giant paycheck. Company founders and entrepreneurs often take enormous financial risks, work for years with no guarantee of success, and if they are ultimately successful, they create businesses that employ thousands of people and generate massive economic activity. You’re, to put it mildly, a moron.

@BarrrryLincoln @TheEXECUTlONER_ Show the other angles that are inconclusive but don’t show the one that clearly shows the actual play result?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ So show the other angles instead of the one that best fits your argument.

This happened during the Cubs vs Rangers game. A grounder to first and the first baseman throws home to get the out at home plate. Catcher applies the tag, the runner is called safe. Replay clearly shows the runner is out. The Cubs challenge the call and are confident it is going to be overturned. After replay, the runner is called safe! 🤯 How can the replay booth who has every angle in the book at their disposal (not that you needed more than one) botch this call after the umpire just botched it? Do people lose their jobs over this? Have you seen a more terrible call ever in the replay challenge era?

@rbradbrown @nut_history Nolan played the prime of his career in the two best pitchers’ parks in baseball. This helped suppress runs while he was pitching and also hurt his team’s offense. Ryan’s was under .500 on the road and ERA was a full run higher. He’s probably in the 25-30 range for all time.

@nut_history The primary thing keeping Nolan Ryan for being considered the greatest pitcher is he played most of his career for mediocre teams that provided no run support.

Two incredible players but I would say Nolan Ryan and Pete Rose are two of the most overrated players in MLB history

@StealthyJim @OleTimeHardball He finished second in CY voting twice and fourth another time. Having been a huge baseball fan from the late 60’s on I can vouch that he was considered a top of the line pitcher in the mid-late 70’s. The Dodgers never regretted trading Dick Allen for him.

@OleTimeHardball No shot, unless it’s the medical wing. Tommy John was never considered a great pitcher, and in his day was just another guy Avg 11 W a season. Borderline acceptable WHIP. If not for the surgery his name would be long forgotten.

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

@OleTimeHardball Yes, his main problem was hanging on too long so our memories of him are a soft tossing ball scuffing mediocrity. He won 288 games, pitched well in multiple postseasons, three top 5 CY votes and has the most iconic sports med surgery named after him. He’s in in my book.

@OleTimeHardball A teammate of his that is rarely talked about is Kal Daniels, who was an outstanding offensive player until knee injuries stopped his career before he even hit 30 years old.

In 1987 Eric Davis produced 37 HR, 100 RBI, 120 Runs, and was 50 of 56 in Stolen Baes He played in 129 games

@gehrig38 If I had been good enough to play MLB I’d have no problem playing with Curt, Barry Bonds, etc. regardless of whether I liked them or not because both were great and they’d help me win.

Right, couldn't stand me. I LOVE when someone writes shit while making it up. This ass clown will be able to provide no evidence other than one guy, if that, who I equally couldn't stand. And that guy was by no means a "leader" on that team. He was a clown and a child. Those 24 guys wanted me to have the ball when it mattered; everything else is made-up idiocy. But ya, this idiot knows what he's talking about.

@CodifyBaseball I believe WAR over estimates defense since it is easier to find someone who can defend at a major league level than it is to find someone who hits at that level. That being said, put Rice in CF or SS and see how that works for you.

a couple of 1.8 WAR guys

@JoelWBerry Elvis had his influences but he also had his own style, same as Michael Jackson. Young Elvis also had much more charisma than his contemporaries, which is what really set him apart.

Wicked racial agitators have talked for years about how Elvis “stole” Rock ‘n’ Roll from black musicians. So what do we call this? The truth is, Elvis didn’t steal anything, neither did Michael Jackson. Artists inspire other artists. It’s a beautiful thing.

@SnipSnapPolitic @McNasty When you consider most 30 year olds don’t exercise at all and are overweight I’d wager most 30 year olds would have a hard time doing one or two.

RFK is 71 years old and just knocked out 20 pull-ups at the airport. Most 30-year-olds in this country can't do 5. McNasty isn't even an RFK fan and he's calling out the cope. You don't have to like the man's politics to respect that he walks the Make America Healthy Again talk. The entire MAHA agenda is the cabinet showing up in shape.

im not a fan of RFK at all. not even in the slightest. but people pretending like this isnt incredibly impressive for a 71 year old just because its not a "full" pullup, are just acting dumb.

@MattWalshBlog I get texts 1-2x per week claiming I have unpaid road tolls. I just delete and report the number but they still keep sending me the same “court document” with a different number. I guess they figure I’ll finally fall for it on about their 70th attempt.

Scamming has become an epidemic. Millions of Americans get multiple scam texts and calls EVERY DAY. As the methods and technology get more sophisticated, even smart and savvy people fall victim. Billions of dollars lost every year. Meanwhile, a huge number of these scams are being run out of scammer compounds in countries like Cambodia, where scamming makes up half of their GDP. Why exactly shouldn’t we drone strike the scam centers? We know who these people are, where they are, and we know that they’re ruining the lives of millions of Americans, especially our elderly. We could destroy their operations easily and cheaply without risking any American lives. Why shouldn’t we?

@js9inningsmedia I think Armstrong was saying that Shaw should have been waving towards the ground rather than just pointing at it, which is correct. That being said, the message should have been delivered in a less histrionic way in the dugout.

This is great leadership from Pete Crow-Armstrong! PCA hit a clutch triple and then tied the game on a sac fly. On the sac fly, he didn’t slide because Matt Shaw didn’t tell him to. After the play, PCA made sure to let Shaw know what he did wrong and the Cubs went onto win the game 👀

@OleTimeHardball They were both great but it would have to be Maddux for a career. For a single game give me either Bob or Koufax. Keep in mind Greg put up those numbers during one of the greatest hitting eras, Bob did a lot of his work during the 60’s “dead ball” era.

One SP for the entirety of his career Bob Gibson or Greg Maddux?
