@Broad_STweet @ShamsCharania His professional life is at a noine right now.

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@ShamsCharania A noine day contract?

@HankAzaria @TheSimpsons @brooklynbowl @theezstreetband Is “Brooklyn side” a Bob Murphy on Bowling for Dollars reference? As great as your Vin Scully is, I bet you’d rather have used Murphy as the voice model for your Simpsons sportscaster. I’m going to be saying “and here come the pretzels” in Bob’s voice for days to come.

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Yet somehow Mantle was able to hit outside pitches despite this alleged outsized fear of getting earholed that he took to the plate with him. Or maybe you think he wasn’t?

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball And you just had to watch one Game of the Week in the ‘70s to hear about “keeping the hitters honest.” It must have been in Kubek and Garagiola’s contracts that they had to bring this up every week. It’s not some kind of inside baseball secret only a few people know about.

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball You were around? You were a toddler when he retired!!! And once again you are exaggerating the threat of getting hit that Mantle faced.

@OliveDrabGreen @mattyglesias Not everyone was duped and not everyone who was duped has gone onto lie about like Trump but nice try.

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Even with so many pitchers of his era only topping out at 85 MPH he couldn’t have avoided so many pitches. He wasn’t operating in the matrix.

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball You weren’t around when Mantle was playing & we have no stats for brushbacks & pitches thrown behind hitters. You don’t know how often this happened. It’s just a belief you have & insistence isn’t proof. 13 HBPs across ~10K PAs strongly suggests it wasn’t happening often at all.

[Flan O'Brien @Lawnguylander]

@jerkyboykamal @Ozmodion1 @Jimfrombaseball Mickey Mantle didn’t get hit once in his first three seasons in the majors. He once went more than 4 full seasons without getting hit. How much fear of getting hit did he take up to the plate with him?

I love this account & always try to guess the year of each picture before clicking on the link. Today I was off by between 8-11 years. And this picture is perfectly posed. Daughter looks exactly like mom. Son on right looks exactly like dad. Son in middle is a mashup of the two.

@JimmyTraina @mikepriceinla Man, when he said Judge should be “stripped” I thought he was going to go someplace much darker. Like Abu Ghraib, extraordinary rendition stuff. I assume the next caller went there.

@craigcalcaterra @DPLennon @joe_manniello wins again.

@Knlckstape007 @TheStrickland @MatthewEMiranda No chance 30% of their readership is alienated by this and they know it. Basketball is far and away the least popular major sport among MAGA shitheads.

@ITGuy1959 @ChrisCillizza @GameOnJD It wasn’t a gaffe.

It was a true thing.

That he said about the FJB crowd.

They deserved it.

F’ng crybabies.

@JesseRogersESPN @JeffPassan He sure did D(ouchebag) up.

@col24134 @LynneStein11 @nicoleperlroth These a-holes lie non stop. Wake up, get on twitter and lie. Have coffee, lie some more. Lie all day long. Lie in their dreams. Repeat it all the next day.
