Adding one more to the list:
My wife and I welcomed James Andrew Phelan into the world at 3:52am this morning.

Mom (a total rockstar) and baby are healthy. Can’t wait to get to know this little turkey! #OverwhelmingJoy #Thanksgiving2018

@voiceofcohen2 No shame. So what’s the Rushmore?

@BCB_Sara Common sense in a senseless world.

@BCB_Sara You’d think every team would handle it the same, but…

Statement by Becca Good.
Read it @JDVance—and burn in hell.

“First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.

This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.

Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.

Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.

Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever.

We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine.

On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.

Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.

We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”

@BMcCarthy32 Are you implying that Charlie Conway was not a gifted athlete?

[James @PhelanGuy]

@FLProBaseball @CapitalesQuebec I’d rather not, thanks. Go get ‘em next year, Boomers!

RT if you think it would be a classy move of @Moto to waive putting their sponsor patches on Saturday’s Ryno tribute jerseys so they look exactly like the ones Ryno wore.

@obvious_shirts @BleacherNation Has Lisa broken anything yet on Gore or any other traded?

[James @PhelanGuy]

@BleacherNation Always thought he made more sense that Suarez (spend the prospect capital on a frontline starter!). He just becomes your utility player and can play CF if necessary.

[James @PhelanGuy]

@BCB_Sara The K-BB and switch from a terrible defense to a very good one are positives. And he’s been a swing man before, which is also helpful I guess.

I don’t understand why acquisition cost seems so high this year relative to recent years.

RETWEET if you want Sen. Mike Lee to resign from The Senate.

[James @PhelanGuy]

@jon_greenberg Definitely a poor set up by the union, but there’s not much better than a malt cup. Let’s show the malt cup some respect, Jon.

[James @PhelanGuy]

@andybehrens Really sorry to hear that, Andy.

Think they got this call wrong, just like your infamous “Ryan Broyles Over T.Y. Hilton” advice for my keeper league in 2013.

You’ll have a loyal fanbase following you wherever you end up!

Is this headline about Trump or Vance?

[James @PhelanGuy]

@davidyounf @Zack_Pearson They interviewed 17 candidates, only three were in person. Johnson’s was virtual. They did get their guy and are paying top dollar, though. #BearDown
