@BBGreatMoments Agreed, and when you just look at exactly the last 2 months, it is even crazier of course: on the morning of August 25, Sox were 32-46 with a -7 run differential.

Since then: 40-13, outscoring opponents by 108 in 53 games.

واضح إن الفيفا مفكرتش في تبعات تغيير معيار الحسم للمواجهات المباشرة بدل فارق الأهداف

بسبب التعديل ده، أمريكا وتركيا داخلين آخر مباراة في المجموعة وهي تحصيل حاصل لأن أمريكا ضمنت أول وتركيا أخيرة

نفس القصة مع المكسيك اللي ضمنوا صدارة المجموعة بسبب المواجهات المباشرة، وبالتالي يقدر يريح الفريق بالكامل في آخر جولة وده بيدي التشيك أفضلية ضخمة وفرصة ياخدوا 3 نقاط يصعدوا بيهم

الفيفا كانت عايزة تقلل أهمية فارق الأهداف لكن اللي حصل إنها زودت احتمالية إن مجموعات كاملة تتحسم بعد جولتين فقط

Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract is enormous, but according to sources, the Dodgers made back the entirety of the contract in Ohtani’s first season in tickets, marketing deals in Japan/global, merchandise.

His impact on baseball’s growth cannot be understated.

"Delaying a final is brutal on the players. They ate and hydrated and stretched with one start time in mind. Even a 30 minute delay can be significant. You should ask them about it after the match." #USOpen2025

Ted Williams, one of the greatest natural hitters of all time, was retired and giving some tips to the rookies at the Red Sox spring training camp.
One of them asked how to tell apart a curveball from a slider when they were coming in. Williams replied "Oh! That's easy. If it's a curveball, the red spot you see on the ball will be rotating clockwise - if it's a changeup, counterclockwise."
They all nodded and thanked him for the tip.
One of the rookies turned to the others and said whispered,
"Now who the f*** can even see a red spot on a ball coming at you at 95 mph?"
Then Ted Williams went on to claim that he could tell exactly where on the seams he hit a baseball.
No one believed him.
Ted was long retired at this point.
Williiams took a bat and covered the barrel with pine tar and they started throwing him some pitches.
Ted would hit and say "across the seams" or "between the seams" or "across one seam" or whatever.
They retrieved the balls and found out Williams was right, EVERY single time.

Tariffs are taxes paid by American importers, not foreign govts, meaning the money “flowing in” is actually coming from US businesses and consumers, not China, India or anyone else.

It’s like robbing your own citizens and calling it foreign income. For someone who claims to be a business genius, not understanding this basic economic principle either points to a dangerously low IQ or deliberate deception, and neither is reassuring.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

🚨Speaker Mike Johnson went on camera and said he supports Ghislaine Maxwell testifying and wants “everything released” on Epstein.

Then he walked onto the House floor and voted to block the release of the Epstein files.

You don’t get to act like a hero on camera and then protect predators in Congress.

We saw it. We saved it.
And we’re not letting it slide.

🚨 THREAD: They Lost the Vote. Then They Cheated.

The GOP didn’t win the Big Beautiful Bill.
They lost; on the floor, on the scoreboard, and in full public view.

Final tally when the clock expired:
217 NAY, 207 YEA

They were finished.

But Speaker Mike Johnson refused to close the vote.

Why? Because they knew they couldn’t win fair.

So they kept the vote open indefinitely, something rarely done unless you’re trying to flip people under pressure.

This was a hostage negotiation.

Lawmakers were pulled into backrooms, phones were whipped out, Trump’s name was dropped like a threat.

And one by one, the “No” votes began flipping.

Republicans bent the rules and dragged this vote out longer than any in House history; just to reverse the outcome after losing.

This is why Americans don’t trust Washington.

Because even when we win the fight, they rig the clock.

Let this be clear:

The House GOP held the vote open until they could flip enough Republicans to recast their votes. That’s not leadership. That’s legislative manipulation.

Two Republicans stood tall:

Thomas Massie and Brian Fitzpatrick refused to cave.

But the rest?
They folded like cheap lawn chairs.

If this bill leads to mass deportations, Medicaid cuts, and gutting of essential services.

Remember:
It wasn’t a fair vote.
It was a stolen one.

ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat.

Sae Joon Park "miraculously" survived being shot in spine—then given 3 weeks to deport to South Korea.

Will miss dying mother's funeral—then his daughter's wedding.

Was legally in U.S. under deferred action as a Purple Heart veteran—after getting clean from a drug addiction arrest brought on by PTSD.

"People were saying 'You took two bullets for this country. Like you’re more American than most of the Americans living in America,'" he explained.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just said that the Fed would have cut interest rates if not for Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s tariffs are to blame for rising costs.
