@BrantPete77118 @Evil_Major_Jim @JarrettRenshaw Seems like their problem is reading

NEWS: Sources tell me that the Philadelphia vote total will surpass 2020 totals. Some precincts are as high as 150% of 2020 totals, sources say.

@AndrewMarchand GET LAWST!!!

Is Chris "Mad Dog" Russo the greatest sports talk show host of all-time? The pod is live and we discuss ...

@Broad_STweet @ShamsCharania His professional life is at a noine right now.

@ShamsCharania Baba Boo Buie

The New York Knicks are signing guard Boo Buie to a two-way NBA contract, sources tell ESPN. Buie spent time with the Knicks in training camp and takes an open two-way after the signings of Ariel Hukporti and Matt Ryan.

@ShamsCharania A noine day contract?

@HankAzaria @TheSimpsons @brooklynbowl @theezstreetband Is “Brooklyn side” a Bob Murphy on Bowling for Dollars reference? As great as your Vin Scully is, I bet you’d rather have used Murphy as the voice model for your Simpsons sportscaster. I’m going to be saying “and here come the pretzels” in Bob’s voice for days to come.

When your day job meets your night gig... you get @TheSimpsons at @brooklynbowl! See you on November 8!

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Yet somehow Mantle was able to hit outside pitches despite this alleged outsized fear of getting earholed that he took to the plate with him. Or maybe you think he wasn’t?

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball And you just had to watch one Game of the Week in the ‘70s to hear about “keeping the hitters honest.” It must have been in Kubek and Garagiola’s contracts that they had to bring this up every week. It’s not some kind of inside baseball secret only a few people know about.

"Hitting in a game is no different than hitting in a home run contest. It pisses me off to say Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter. He's playing in a wussy era. The game is soft. You never get thrown at today. Last thing a hitter has to worry about today is getting hit. The first thing Hank Aaron had to worry about is: Am I going to survive this at-bat because I'm black."

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball You were around? You were a toddler when he retired!!! And once again you are exaggerating the threat of getting hit that Mantle faced.

@Lawnguylander @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball I was around when Mantle was playing. And Mantle himself has said many times in interviews how they pitched him. And for like the 50th time, the comment was for the threat of getting hit, more than actually getting hit.

@OliveDrabGreen @mattyglesias Not everyone was duped and not everyone who was duped has gone onto lie about like Trump but nice try.

@mattyglesias Because he was a civilian that was duped like everyone else at the time?

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Even with so many pitchers of his era only topping out at 85 MPH he couldn’t have avoided so many pitches. He wasn’t operating in the matrix.

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball You weren’t around when Mantle was playing & we have no stats for brushbacks & pitches thrown behind hitters. You don’t know how often this happened. It’s just a belief you have & insistence isn’t proof. 13 HBPs across ~10K PAs strongly suggests it wasn’t happening often at all.

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Mickey Mantle didn’t get hit once in his first three seasons in the majors. He once went more than 4 full seasons without getting hit. How much fear of getting hit did he take up to the plate with him?

@Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Not sure you fully understand my post. Getting hit was not as impactful as the fear of getting hit. When you have all that gear on, you don’t have fear.

I love this account & always try to guess the year of each picture before clicking on the link. Today I was off by between 8-11 years. And this picture is perfectly posed. Daughter looks exactly like mom. Son on right looks exactly like dad. Son in middle is a mashup of the two.

@JimmyTraina @mikepriceinla Man, when he said Judge should be “stripped” I thought he was going to go someplace much darker. Like Abu Ghraib, extraordinary rendition stuff. I assume the next caller went there.

Let’s check in with WFAN’s morning show, “Boomer & Gio,” to see how the deranged Yankees fans are handling last night’s collapse.

@craigcalcaterra @DPLennon @joe_manniello wins again.

@Knlckstape007 @TheStrickland @MatthewEMiranda No chance 30% of their readership is alienated by this and they know it. Basketball is far and away the least popular major sport among MAGA shitheads.

Madison Square Garden is supposed to be a global landmark. Sunday night, its landlord and caretaker disgraced Manhattan and the Mecca. More in @MatthewEMiranda’s latest: thestrick.land/strick/when-th…

@ITGuy1959 @ChrisCillizza @GameOnJD It wasn’t a gaffe. It was a true thing. That he said about the FJB crowd. They deserved it. F’ng crybabies.

@ChrisCillizza @GameOnJD It wasn’t a gaffe. It was a rare moment of clarity. It’s what he really thinks. It’s what Kamala really thinks.

Biden’s verbal gaffe (if that’s what it was) is an absolute nightmare for Harris campaign. This is getting more attention than Harris’ closing argument speech.

@JesseRogersESPN @JeffPassan He sure did D(ouchebag) up.

Meet Austin Capobianco (middle), the fan that interfered with Mookie. I was talking to him at a local bar when a bunch of other fans asked him to take a pic with him and for his autograph. He was a beaut. Story up soon at ESPN: “If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up.”

@col24134 @LynneStein11 @nicoleperlroth These a-holes lie non stop. Wake up, get on twitter and lie. Have coffee, lie some more. Lie all day long. Lie in their dreams. Repeat it all the next day.
