Keeps proving my point. Even if it's "the rules", then they're lousy rules. I can pay attention every four years. That's about it. Couldn't endure it every year as a fan. It was a lot more fun to actually play as a high school athlete, that's for sure.

Soccer can be so annoying. Even when you have a great game like this Mexico-England game, all of a sudden the inane rules result in a red card. So many phony fouls and exaggerated injuries, I guess it tracks. Even still. Toughen up.

@freganmitts The only favorite I recall having by the time I was college-age was 'Ulysses' by Tennyson. But this one became my immediate all-time love, pretty much upon my first reading of it (circa 1996, age 23). Still is today.

But... but... 105mph!! I mean, he's The Mis! And nobody beats'em!

[Johnny Venezia @_JohnnyVTV]

This is ruled a hit against 99.9% of MLB pitchers.

Brewers CLEARLY protecting their golden boy and Cy Young favorite. This is the kind of decision that impacts voters at the end of the year

1 ER when it should have been 5 .

@MLB should fix this

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

@Super70sSports Either? Both and.

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

So... they're going after Skubal *and* Wacha *and* Lugo?
Okay, that'll work.

Phillies option starter Alan Rangel after Thursday's game.

@GreggCasertaMLB Got plenty!

Q: "Jim, how are you kicking off your 4th of July weekend tonight?"
A: "Sitting at my bar, watching #MLBBigInning naturally."
@GreggCasertaMLB @MattYallofMLB and crew run a very grossly underrated @MLB product. Tune in.

@jdflynn Presumably about SSPX...? I know I have them. Been reading The Pillar and checking the website with regularity to look for anything new.

@IndyCar My all-time favorite driver.

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

@OnPattison Strictly numbers, Misiorowski. But only *just* barely. Recall in 2022, Kershaw got the nod over Alcantara because it was in LA. And Alcantara was 1000 feet ahead of Kershaw at that point. Sanchez is about 1.5 feet behind (and the overall better pitcher anyway).

@freganmitts 'First Man', James Hansen's biography of Neil Armstrong. Best biography I've read.

@2008Philz My God, my neck still hurts from that catch.

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

Metaphorically.

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

I am in love with Jhoan Duran.
WOOOO!!!!!

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

The only apology I am making for this is that I didn't hear @GreggCasertaMLB call this ending on #MLBBigInning because I am addicted to listening to Scott Franzke's game-calling. Sorry, Gregg. I'm tuned into Big Inning now, though. Take the evening home for me.

[Philadelphia Phillies @Phillies]

Apparently beating Philadelphia is as hard as Philadelphians say it is

#RingTheBell

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

And it's a world that I love. I love it so much.

[OnPattison @OnPattison]

It's Derek Hill's world and the Nationals are just living in it. 🤯

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

@TyDaubert With two outs and two strikes, mind you.

[Jim Cunningham III @OdysseusSetter]

DEREK HILL!!!!!
The best part about that? Kyle Schwarber's pumped up response.
