I just saw an intentional walk in a Little League World Series game. I’m not sure there’s anything more pathetic that a coach can do in kids’ sports.

Gated. NY Times clearly wants everyone to stay healthy.

@AoDespair @tinyhandcuffs Jesus Christ…
Yes?
What? Uh, you said… Jesus!
Yes?
Yes?

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@Barry_Negrin That’s very cool.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@GregRenoff I was at that show, that arena. Super energy start to finish.

@SeanMBurns Where “we” is an overworked VFX staff who’s never once been on the set. (We could do this all day.)

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

Purpose-built

What’s worse is they STICK with the interview - telling us Tom Caron talking about last night’s game (guh) is more entertaining than the live one happening now.

.@NESN showing a recorded interview while a run is scored reminds me of the joke about dorks at the baseball HOF complaining that the Hall library is closed so staff can watch the World Series. “Why watch a game when there’s all this stats and history to enjoy?!” So so dumb.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@SeanMBurns Wait, there’s lighting?!

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@SeanMBurns It’s the “less good” that they all seem to have down really well.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@the_markcast Reid, look out behind you!

Yeah, I’m just kidding.

There’s no need for “But” in the 2nd sentence.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Moms for Liberty, a national right-wing advocacy group, was born in Florida as a response to Covid-19 school closures and mask mandates. But scandals and losses are threatening its power. https://t.co/VafLHCVzL7

@SeanMBurns This is fact, it’s the funniest moment in TV history.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@PeteCroatto Stellar tweet, Pete, take the night off.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@GregRenoff @jamiestuartTV I don’t recall seeing a team as unbelievably weak and ineffective in a night game as they were Monday. Shockingly bad offense.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@scott_tobias “off-brand Wolf of Wall Street” is the best, most efficient and useful review of this film.

[Norm Schrager @MeetInTheLobby]

@SeanMBurns That’s a brilliant review.

[FilmBart @FilmBart]

it’s telling that people are crying out “we need a POTTY BREAK” for KILLERS, a movie that demands something of the viewer emotionally and intellectually, but don’t blink an eye at the comparable runtimes of ENDGAME or THE BATMAN.

@DannyDrinksWine The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II. Michael closing the door on Kay.
