@shegone03 Sports are the same as music and movies. Continuous improvement and creativity throughout the 70’s and 80’s, and then peaked in the 90’s early 2000’s. It all started regressing as technology grew. CGI, autotune, analytics, etc took the feel and soul of what was once great.

@jfortner88 My favorite was Hearts Burst Into Fire. Not sure why. Got them playing at work now. Been awhile.

@_DockEllis @shegone03 @MLB they're pros, they care. The different approach has produced a lower OPS in today's game, way lower BA. Equals less men on base. Pitching is tough, but they have the tightest strikezone in history w/a built in challenge system. I hope coaches gain & use wisdom from HOF'ers is all

[John Lewis Floyd @JohnLewisFloyd]

@_DockEllis @shegone03 @MLB Emphasis on OPS is fine. I was referencing competitive mindset. Doing anything possible to win that battle against the pitcher, and help their team in that moment. Just like what Jeff Kent is saying. It should piss hitters off to strikeout, yet that’s not their mindset anymore.

[Fryedaddy/Frito @shegone03]

I couldn’t possibly agree with Jeff Kent more!

The game has gone too far concerning ANALYTICS and it needs a reset!

I would estimate that 99.99 % of retired @MLB players will agree with Jeff Kent!

Coach Venables at Oklahoma is a man I would want my sons to play for any day!

@CoachBeede Aww man, I remember that too. Couldn't go inside until you beat the top score of the day. Good times.

I stopped posting about 9 months ago when 2 men from the NY Post showed up at my house, filming my daughter and me, because I had the audacity to tweet that she shouldn't have to keep playing boys in a girls bball league. They put an unemployed homeschool mom of 3 as the sole cover of the NY Post for something that is so elementary, fundamental and obvious that it feels absolutely insane that we are still discussing this. Stop with the "it's only a few" argument... since when is that a reason to not care about injustice and the truth?

The WNBA should be courageous. Stand for women. You can't stand for something you can't even define. Acknowledge that the inherent differences between men and women were the whole reason we needed the WNBA in the first place. Boundaries, clarity and exclusion are not hateful in sport... they're the prerequisite to playing and loving the game. Without the lines, without the rules, without the honesty about who's in and who's out, there is no fair competition.

@nut_history It's crazy that he played in both the NBA and MLB. Man of many talents.

[John Lewis Floyd @JohnLewisFloyd]

@TigerCommenter The over the shoulder throw to Mike Williams just before this was a beauty too. Knew we had something special.

This is funny…..I have a coaching WS ring as an instructor in ‘21. The Braves in ‘23 hit the most HRs in ML history….I was an instructor for that team as well. Didn’t charge anyone a dime. Can u say that? I don’t need to have a video to show my techniques because I’m not a narcissist. I just care about the success of our hitters and the success of our organization. I will continue that pursuit, without exploiting them for the all mighty dollar, Dick! My ‘coaching’ far exceeds ur snake oil, used car salesman tactics. I will continue to show vids of young kids trying to get better and help them with their swings in their hopes to get to baseballs highest levels. Hope this helps….

The first thing Team USA does following their 3–2 loss to Türkiye is pray.

Win or lose, God gets the glory.

Day 13
I’ve seen you say, just like Lou Gehrig, you feel lucky. Why and how?

First and foremost, I feel lucky because against all odds, I am still here. The average life expectancy after an ALS diagnosis is only 2–5 years. Yet 8 years later, I’m not merely surviving — I’m living a life that is incredibly full and meaningful. A life many people only dream of.

Is everything unicorns and rainbows? Absolutely not. I was given a bad break, and every day I battle a disease trying to take pieces of me away. But somewhere along this journey, ALS gave me something unexpected: perspective.

Before ALS, I don’t think I fully understood how precious life truly is. Now I do. I appreciate things most people move through without a second thought — conversations, meals, laughter, time with people I love. Things that once felt ordinary now feel sacred.

I’m lucky because of the people surrounding me. A husband who chose to love me and stand beside me despite not knowing what our future would look like. A family who loves me endlessly. Little ones who adore me exactly as I am and remind me daily that my worth was never tied to physical ability. Without this level of support, my fight would look very different. Their support makes this fight possible, and their love makes it worth fighting.

As strange as it may sound, I also feel lucky in the way my disease has progressed. ALS affects everyone differently. Because of the progression I’ve had, I was able to continue working for nearly two years after my diagnosis. At a time when my world felt completely uncertain, that gave me purpose and a sense of normalcy I desperately needed.

Eight years later, I can still speak and eat. Those are simple things most people assume will always be there, but after hearing the words “you have ALS,” nothing felt guaranteed anymore. Is it harder now? Absolutely. But I am grateful for every conversation and every meal.

Even with my breathing, I’ve been fortunate. At diagnosis, my lung function was already low enough that I needed a BiPAP machine. Most people probably wouldn’t see anything lucky about that, but many people struggle to tolerate noninvasive ventilation long term. For whatever reason, my body adapted well to it, and because of that, I’ve been able to avoid needing a trach.

And lastly, I feel incredibly lucky for the relationship I have with the Kansas City Royals. The same team I grew up cheering for has spent years cheering for me. Their support, kindness, and loyalty are things I will carry with me forever.

I think when Lou Gehrig called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth,” it wasn’t because life had been easy. It was because even in the middle of unimaginable hardship, he could still see the love surrounding him.

That’s how I feel too.

ALS has taken a lot from me, but it has also shown me just how beautiful life can still be. And for that reason, no matter how hard this journey is, I will always consider myself lucky.

"A drop of clean water for a child is worth more than a billion AI-generated images."👏

This isn't just about technology; it’s about survival. 🛡️

In Ravenna, Ohio, Will Hollingsworth just exposed the "19th-century resource heist" happening in our own backyard.

Trillion-dollar companies are trading our local reservoirs for chatbots - all while hiding behind secret contracts and NDAs.

It’s time to stop the sales pitch and start looking at the science. Our community is not a laboratory, and our future is not for sale! 👇

NEW: Oklahoma high school principal seen charging at and disarming a school shooter in footage obtained by @SHumphreyTV.

Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore is being called a hero after getting shot while stopping a school shooter.

The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.”

While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover and says he is looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible.

"I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible so that I may continue my life’s work educating the next generation of Oklahoma leaders. Until then, my thoughts are with our outstanding students, safe today in the arms of their families and friends," he said.

Hero!
