@itswheezyblonde I had to take a nine year break from my parents. It was the best decision for all involved. Wishing you the best with your family.

Super Sky Point to Bob Horner. He was the NL Rookie of the Year and an All-Star but if you were around back then you know he was more than that. Much more. He was a fixture in the homes of millions of us through the miracle of cable television during those epic childhood summers that seemed like they’d never end.

I was a fan for over 40 years but had never met Bob until I interviewed him last December about Dale Murphy’s Hall of Fame case. As you’d expect, Bob was a fierce advocate for his fellow Fulton County basher. How could he not be? They were Murph and Horner. Horner and Murph. The Hall and Oates of the Launching Pad.

You know, these sky points all suck to write but this one hurts more than most. The four-homer game, the bad perm, Chief Noc-A-Homa waiting by his teepee for another Horner long ball. I have tweeted a lot about Bob Horner through the years and it’s because he represents to me, and I suspect many of you too, something far bigger than baseball: WTBS coming out of the magic box on top of my 400-pound Zenith, cool air coming through my bedroom window after another afternoon of Wiffle Ball, and Rick Mahler (probably) toeing the rubber at about 7:05 while hoping to keep the Braves in it with smoke and mirrors long enough for Horner and Murph to do some damage. And me sprawled out on green and yellow shag carpet in Kentucky paying 100 times more attention to Skip Caray, Ernie Johnson, and Pete Van Wieren than any of my teachers.

Farewell, you sweet slugging bastard. Tell St. Peter you brought your glove for the hot corner and to write you into the cleanup spot. #RIP

Maynard James Keenan has shared a message of support for his longtime friend and former classmate, General Randy George, who was recently ousted by Pete Hegseth.

"As long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist in some way. Visual, musical, performing. I wasn’t certain what, just that the arts were where I was supposed to be. However, after H.S. graduation, the reality of tuition set in. My family was living on a teacher's salary. There wasn't much left over after bills, and grants and student loans weren't going to cover it.

"So I joined the Army to take advantage of the Army College Fund. As it turns out, I excelled in the military, which was not what I was expecting. I was awarded Distinguished Graduate from both basic and advanced training. Then, after many, many rounds of testing, I was chosen to attend U.S.M.A.P.S. and to apply to the U.S. Military Academy, West Point.

"As you can imagine, most of my classmates at West Point Prep were there with a singular mission: to be a West Point graduate and serve in our military. Focus, drive, a plan, and zero compromise. I, on the other hand, was one of the few with doubts and inner conflict.

"So when my heart spoke louder than the outside influencers and I declined my appointment to West Point, most of those around me saw it as a huge mistake. But a handful were very supportive. They knew me well enough to respect that decision. One of those supportive classmates was my cross-country teammate, Randy George.

"If you've been wading through the flood of news lately, you may recognize that name. Randy went on to become a four-star general and Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. He was approaching his 40th year of service.

"I can't even imagine how disappointed and upset he must feel for having been “asked” to retire early. So I'm just here to return that favor of support. We're here for you, Randy. Might be time for a beer or three. See you soon."

On behalf of all of us from the old Valdosta territory, condolences to @ByronSaxton on the loss of his mother.

The last time the Braves won a game 17-2, they beat the Louisville Colonels on July 22, 1897. Hall of Famer Kid Nichols got the win, while star shortstop Herman Long, out with an injured hand, was chosen to umpire.
