And so … a rule to prevent teams from having 3 straight top 5 picks could bar the Grizzlies from having two straight top 5 picks if one comes via Utah … but still makes it possible for Utah to have 3 straight top 5 picks if they trade for a pick and it’s drawn there.

Not trying to come off like your freshman home room teacher who had motivational posters on the wall and not trying to make too much of a single moment but…
There’s a life lesson to what happened last night. A bunch of kids decided they were going to have fun and uniquely be themselves. It turns into hundreds of people following along, filling up four sections an an MLB stadium, getting national attention, going viral on social media, MLB players and a manager taking note and talking about it and coverage of it all over in local TV, Radio and Print.
It all starts organically with some kids deciding to have fun doing something a little different. There can be power in that.

Approximately 36 calls every day offering me unsecured personal loans.

How do I make it stop?

I’m still annoyed about this

[Jessica Benson @jessbensontv]

heartbroken.

BC was a true joy, gentle, gem of a person. Where he was, good energy always followed. He will be so missed. Sending his family, friends and all so much love 💙

@SickosCommittee Pretty sure it’s allowed at Busch stadium too

@rachallison1 Some of that is how much more expensive California, New York, etc, are.

I love it when people make it crystal clear they have no idea how something works

🚨 Utah Jazz initially won the #3 pick but then their lottery ball was selected again for the #2 pick

The NBA had to redo it and draw again, which led to the Grizzlies receiving the #3 pick 😳

@MrPlaztastic17 @TheAthletic When they launched, every team I care about had a beat writer. College and all 3 pro teams. Now there is one beat writer total among the 4 teams I care about. Getting harder and harder to justify paying for it.

[Dennis Dodd @dennisdoddcbs]

The second-youngest MLB team that literally is not trying to win this season (in the front office) now has taken a series from the highest-paid team in baseball history and has the majors longest-winning streak. Makes no sense but Bravo, Bravo El Birdos.

[Eric Opperman @EricOpperman]

That’s, shall we say, a serious win streak!

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT??

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

That's a Winner!

To be fair, they have been to Boston in the fall.

In 1903.

A+++++++++++ tweet though, good work on the field and good work admin!

@Devin_Walker2 It’s the best

@pupadhyaya_ @DailyMemphian I hate to hear this. You did a great job and I’ll miss seeing you at the games!

[Eric Opperman @EricOpperman]

@AdamAkbani I don’t disagree with his point, but that pitch wasn’t borderline…that wasn’t the pitch to make that point on.

[Eric Opperman @EricOpperman]

I was at this game. And I’ve still never seen a no-hitter in a pro baseball game. 😢

@Jasonde48055623 @EricTweetsNBA I get it, I'm just saying if you put the exact same hotel - same rooms, room service, amenities, etc., in a city they *like* going to, they wouldn't complain about it.

Memphis isn't high on a lot of people's vacation list. Neither are the other cities often complained about.
