@DeanAbbott Sadly, as an ex-reporter @WSJ & @washingtonpost, I'd say the economics of reviving print are probably prohibitive. Plus, a very underrated marketing prob imho: Culturally, could the industry get comfortable promoting finitude as a feature, not a bug, in an era of info overload?

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Very few people appreciate what America lost when we lost newspapers. Just being able to sit down every morning in silence and peruse news, opinion, sports, advice, recipes, interesting human interest stories all in one place was such a pleasure. The Internet has never produced anything that comes close.

@OleTimeHardball Ted and Joe D, because it would be so fun to see the old rivals play together. Then all the $1 guys, for $10 total. Top of my lineup: 1. Ichiro RF 2. DiMaggio CF 3. Williams DH 4. Snider LF Brock on the bench for backup/pinch running. 🙃

@naeSean44 @sowhatsnu1 @Mets Indeed. As a 40-year Mets fan, it's hard for me to muster much anger for the front office right now while I'm still so angry at the players for *that* shit. But I'm in the minority, it seems.

@sowhatsnu1 @Mets Apparently they’re happy running the same team out that had 83 wins last year. They love mediocrity

@Mets This might start the Alonso Curse! The Mets will not win another World Series until after Pete retires as an Oriole and is inducted into the Hall of Fame as an Oriole!

@OleTimeHardball Yes! He's the Brooks Robinson of 1B. Wasn't just great defensively; he *re-defined* how to play the position. To play it correctly, to this day, is to play it like Hernandez. Max, there are only 9 players we'll ever be able to say that about. How is that NOT a Hall Of Famer?

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

@carney I'd say the trick is that it takes way longer to seep than hot coffee. But this might not happen in a busy shop. Read this in a post on some foodie site. (Epicurious maybe?) They said to seep at least 12 hrs, which I've been doing at home since. Total game changer. Delicious!

@GoodLuckIdiots @lady_valor_07 That device is definitely an important clue. But I think it might not be a video thingy at all. Could just be a tuner/radio for that old-school speaker on the right. Which could put this photo further back, into the '70s, as some folks have been guessing on the thread.

@OleTimeHardball It's tough, but would have to go with Kershaw, as pitching is so important. Flummoxed by the people who'd pick Morris over him tbh. Yeah, he's already in the HOF. Deservedly so. But if you need a pitcher, he's not even in the same ballpark as Kershaw.

Men aren’t typically as bitter and petty and jealous as women, but do you think Jacob deGrom wants to go on a murder spree seeing Nolan’s run support? Because if I were him, I’d need to be institutionalized

@ReelyFishy @ThatEricAlper My theory is that, somewhere in the bowels of the U.S. government, which gives thousands of people security clearances to access ostensibly secret info, there is at least one computer with classified info on it that uses "password" as the password.

@ThatEricAlper Microsoft is evil. It doesn't matter that we pay for licensing, our government pays big apparently for cloud storage which Microsoft offshores to the Chinese... Classified information in the cloud storage.

@ellafranco0816 I was at that game! Also attended the NLCS pennant clincher and a Subway Series game with my late father. These are cherished memories, all provided by that 2000 team. I'm forever grateful to all of them, including your dad, in a way words can't fully express. 🙏

I wasn’t alive yet for the 2000 NLDS, but I wish I was. If I saw my dad strike out Barry Bonds TWICE in the postseason, once looking and once swinging, both moments probably would have been the greatest things I’d ever see. Also no homers in 39 at bats is insane 🤯 Well done dad

He’s in the South not Silicon Valley! Southern folks also tend to be more laid back and respect other’s privacy. I took my Nephew to a kids show once when he was little, we literally set a row above Keith Urban and his daughter in Nashville and people didn’t bother them at all. You will see all these Celebrity at the bars and people treat them like everyone else, which is why they love the Southern hospitality.
