@RegionalTVCat From the comments by Rays fans, this has been a bit of a you-know-what show all season. At least they stopped my wife from committing a felony with her umbrella hat.

@bballheat103 @RaysBaseball I had to fire off a few profanities before they decided to let me go to the car and return. They have a stupid no reentry policy even during a rain delay. I’m 52 years old, and I’m about 250 pounds over my ideal weight. I can’t stand on concrete in a crowd for 3 hours.

@BlaineofTB @RaysBaseball What’s the longest delay they’ve had? This one looks like it could be several hours.

@SchnurreZueri @NetAxisGroup He’s ready to resist and is willing to give up his life to save his students. People don’t go into teaching because they are selfish.

Dear @amazon … Why should I use my gas to drive to a UPS store to return a product that arrived broken? Bezos is a billionaire. Surely, he can afford to send a new one.

@HokiesMBB @tj_2103 Beasts are gonna beast.

@RBLEV777 @GetSpectrum Happens to me all the time, too. Whole system is out now.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@Ask_Spectrum Is there an outage in my area?

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@Rinedog1 Our worst players are Gorman, Siani, Crawford and Carpenter. Let’s start there. Activate Edman and promote Herrera and Walker. DFA Crawford, option Gorman and trade Carlson. Siani becomes the 4th outfielder, Donny moves to second base.

@cjpearson @iamSauceGardner @kylenabecker Translation: If you support a candidate because you think they treat Black people better, that is as bad as having slaves. What kind of mouth-breather logic is that?

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@AdamAkbani Where did you hear it was his shoulder that caused him to miss time? I only heard that it was cramping. And the announcers for his previous start reported that he stayed on the bench after he was pulled rather than going for treatment.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@GoPBCardinals Great performance for Lin on Saturday. He showed poise to get out of a few jams. He's getting swing-and-miss on his slider, and his changeup really is a weapon. You can't hit it if you sit dead red, and you can't catch up to the fastball is you look for the change.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@GoPBCardinals Why doesn't the team announce its pitchers until game time? Other teams announce scheduled starters more than a day in advance. When is Lin pitching?

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@ATTHelp I am at the end of my rooe here. After three phone calls and one chat, I am at an ATT store waiting an hour for the manager to get through to the customer service line. This is absurd AT&T customer service is horrendous. Hire more workers.

@colehawk23 Can't believe you killed JFK.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@dgoold Packy Naughton is the better option. But we already have a lot of lefty dudes around.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@hawkdogg98 @Cardinals Maybe Ryne Sandberg has an OnlyFans.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@colehawk23 Get your master's degree from the best school available. Then, you can have that on your side when you have the big career stuff to face.

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@Cardinals If it's finished tomorrow, can Carlson bat for Gorman or can they only use the roster as it was on Saturday?

[Ron White @TheHookSlide]

@hochman If most of his 400 ABs were against righties, how can anyone expect him to maintain that production when he's facing lefties more often?
