@TheAuthorGuy ...a good one?

Seeing @Mastercard 's sponsorship of the All Star Game brings the annual reminder that MasterCard spends $10-15M each year publicizing it's "Stand Up to Cancer" do-goodism while capping the program's donation to cancer research at $5M.

Hey @netflix , there's a reason the center field camera is the default view of an at-bat...what are you doing? Close up of BP pitchers then cut to zoom in on landing spot? How about letting us see the hitter/swing/trajectory? #homerunderby

@Scotterybarn @jowrotethis Cliffhanger? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

@TVietor08 😬

Got anything funnier and more obviously facetious than "bomb", Tommy?

Storm/raid the HQ (Viking reference)...summon a lightning strike/Loki (Nordic mythology)...the ref should have to announce it from the Norwegian rowing section...they'll have to answer to Haaland...?

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@TVietor08 I've asked nicely before, but now I really mean it: GET OUT OF MY DREAMS, TOMMY!

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@MLBBruceLevine @thescorechicago @ZachZaidman Peacock is CARRYING the game, not blocking it...just as ESPN, Apple, Marquee do. Your consistent ignorance/bias and refusal to educate yourself on this issue really casts doubts on your approach to reporting, Bruce.

(You know subscription is tax deductible for you, right?)

Leg that out, @ABREG_1 ! We appreciate your taking responsibility for a dismal season w/ @Cubs and pledging to work harder...start by running all the way to first (so you're safe when they bobble it...in a 1-run game..against division rival).

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@TVietor08 @willsommer They demand a FULL release, Tommy...😏💦🇺🇸

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@France24_en Ummmm, "share fake proof" = "manufactures lies", please do better.

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@NewYorker Does @NewYorker have editors anymore? Opening clause is nonsensical (but easily improved), 3rd sentence (in a 180-word lead) contains 7 commas, 1 parenthetical AND an em dash aside. Following sentence also has parenthetical AND em dash along with temporal inconsistencies. Oof.🙄

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@jowrotethis You caught them rouge-handed 😉

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@maxwelltani Hegseth's a douchebag...but that's bad spotting

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@TVietor08 ...really sounds like two parties on the verge of signing a deal. Should be announced any day now. 🙄

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@TVietor08 Half-assed effort, low energy, few events, fluctuating attention...it's almost like she's 78 years old...🤔

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@MLBBruceLevine Oof...obviously you have friendly bond with the players, but don't need to go full apologist.

Not sure why fans expected big thump from guy who doesn't have 30HRs or 100RBIs this decade, but also don't know why club would give that guy $35M/yr.

Good dude, bad fit/contract.

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

@BNightengale Lifetime OPS+ of 109, averaged 1 WAR/season with negative WAR in the postseason...collected $170M .

ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS.

Good work if you can get it.

@SeanFennessey If you're welcoming success of smaller, more personal, ambitious projects from a new generation of filmmakers, I'm with you.

If it signals that the only viable cinematic releases will soon be low budget horror films, big kid flics, & the occasional Nolan joint, not so much...

[BleacherBoy @Bleacher_Boy]

Perhaps we should stop mocking @PeteHegseth for consistently insisting we've "decimated" Iran's military capability...that literally means to eliminate 10% of capabilities, so his assessment may be surprisingly, accidentally accurate...
