After 11 years, 11.1k followers and thousands of tweets…
My old account got hacked. I reached out to X Support both regular & Premium over a dozen different tickets and they were no help - you can never talk to an actual person. The hacker DM’d me saying he would give my account back for $200 and X still did nothing. Frustrating.
I was (am) devastated. So many good memories posted on that account. A lot of former and current players followed me. Just sucks.
Luckily, the hacker gave up my username and I happened to get that back last night. So we restart.
Would appreciate any and all reposts on this so I can try to get as many of my followers back as I can. Have missed posting and the community I’ve built so much. And of course…
Life is better when the Cardinals win🙌
@RBReich@CDodsonPCBeach It’s about ratings people. Late night talk shows have been on a downward decline for years. They changed time slots, altered filming, removed bands and cancelled shows. Everyone is making it political but it’s all about ratings and viewers.
@RobertPicardo@jondelarroz It’s being open-minded and accepting. I love Star Trek, but the vision also includes those that don’t agree with yours. You simply say if they don’t like your way then they are against it, when in reality both sides can say their piece and no one has to be right or wrong.
During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.
Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.
He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.
Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"
I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."
The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.
Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.
But at game time, the tires were flat.
I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.
Now it was time to reset.
"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest
Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.
Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.
I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.
Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.
You can carry all of that through your front door.
Or you can shower well.
I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.
The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.
Either we win. Or we learn.
The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.
So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.
Tomorrow is a new at-bat.
What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.
I just can’t get over this…
Not only did Team USA hire an MLB Network studio analyst as their manager, but the same guy had absolutely no idea how the tournament works & didn’t take the game seriously & sat starters…
A colossal failure by all involved
@SenMarkKelly Tell everyone about the World View Project in Tucson and countless other deals your brokered with China and then left AZ taxpayers footing the bill while you got rich. I’ll send a mirror to your office.
@MarkRuffalo You do realize that business get bought and sold all the time for us “plain folk” we lose jobs and money in most cases. It’s just life and we don’t own it so we don’t have a choice.
