@JomboyMedia #UMPSHOW. Barely even into May and already acting up.

@DanClarkSports @GaryCarterKid And, yeah, I’m definitely taking Goose Gossage, Jose Altuve, Phil Niekro, and Jim Thome over Warren Spahn all day.

@DanClarkSports @GaryCarterKid Umm,
It pays to cheat?
Sometimes you only need 6 good seasons?
Winning World Series doesn’t count for much?
ChatGPT favors players who flop under World Series pressure?
Why bother to stay healthy enough to play defense every day?
Celebrate players who choke up in the big games?

"I walked out of Judge Dever's courtroom in Chicago in 1921, I turned my back completely on the World Series of 1919, the Chicago White Sox, and the major leagues.
I had been acquitted by a twelve-man jury in a civil court of all charges and I was an innocent man in the records.
I have never made any request to be reinstated in baseball, and I have never made any campaign to have my name cleared in the baseball records.
This is not a plea of any kind.
This is just my story.
I'm telling it simply because it seems that 30 years after that World Series, the world may want to hear what I have to say.
If I had been the kind of fellow who brooded when things went wrong, I probably would have gone out of my mind when Judge Landis ruled me out of baseball.
I would have lived in regret.
I would have been bitter and resentful because I felt I had been wronged.
But I haven't been resentful at all.
I thought when my trial was over that Judge Landis might have restored me to good standing.
But he never did.
And until Landis died, I had never gone before him, sent a representative before him, or placed before him any written matter pleading my case.
I gave baseball my best and if the game didn't care enough to see me get a square deal, then I wouldn't go out of my way to get back in it.
Baseball failed to keep faith with me.
When I got notice of my suspension three days before the 1920 season ended -- it came on a rained-out day -- it read that if found innocent of any wrongdoing, I would be reinstated. If found guilty, I would be banned for life.
I was found innocent, and I was still banned for life."
"Shoeless Joe" Jackson.
"Hey, big mouth, how do you spell triple?"
Shoeless Joe Jackson`s response to a heckling Cleveland fan who kept asking the illiterate Jackson if he could spell 'illiterate.'
After hitting a triple, this was his response.
In my HOF!!!!!

Bravo to our high school students for their recent production of This Murder Was Staged by Patrick Greene and Jason Pizzarello! Their dedication, talent, and passion were evident throughout the show, and we are proud of the hard work they put into this production.

[Zephyrs Baseball Club @ZephyrsBallClub]

@NESpower Proud? Patience? Your failure & Metro’s separate failure to prepare resulted in deaths, millions of $’s in extra expenses for customers, & endangerment of lives of your employees as they repaired & cleaned up. And your communications throughout were childlike.

[Zephyrs Baseball Club @ZephyrsBallClub]

@DanClarkSports And good hair.

Way late to the game:

@NESpower #NESOutageAlert Again: what’s the plan? People on the outside ask one question: “When do they say you’ll have your power back?” They laugh when they hear you’ve said nothing about that. You’ve had a week.

[Zephyrs Baseball Club @ZephyrsBallClub]

@kgarciadumont No way this can be true. We’re 25 years into the 21st Century and Nashville has been a mecca for progressive investment development for decades.

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

Let me help @NESpower CEO. Your plan and messaging have been incompetent. We can deal with that later but here’s what people need:

• Give citizens a realistic timeline to plan around
• Stop texting people whose power is off that it’s actually on — it’s driving people insane and makes you look like you’re lying about the number of people without power
• Tell users you called MTE CEO & competent Florida utility CEO’s for help (no time for ego)
• Hire more linemen and engineers, I know of multiple NES turned down in recent days who are professional linemen who work disasters
• Post more detailed plans, ideally on video where someone normal explains what’s specifically being worked on right now and what’s being worked on next — this gives everyone realistic expectations and understanding
• Use resources from state and Feds to assist with tree clearing + explain you’ve done this
• Regularly provide info on warming centers and transit to them — ask local gov for help with the transit for elderly and offer free transit for them until their power is back on
• Stop posting tone deaf BS that ignores how angry the community is at you — own it and get to work
• After it’s over, resign — it’s the honorable move

@NESpower This and all the other missives from NES sound like AI-generated cries for help from someone lost deep in a vast forest on his/her first camping trip.

Morning Message
From Teresa Broyles-Aplin, CEO and President, Nashville Electric Service
Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026

Many of you are waking up to day #5 without power, which is a significant hardship. It’s our job at NES to keep the power on, and we will not stop until every household in Nashville has power again.

This storm was unprecedented for Nashville and our country, affecting almost half of the U.S. Its icy layers caused widespread damage across our service area to transmission lines, substations and distribution networks.

At this storm’s peak, 230,000 Nashvillians were without power, the largest number ever. Today, we have less than 90,000 homes remaining without electricity.NES has brought in partners from around the country to engage additional available, qualified crews.

We’ve quadrupled our workforce in a few days, from 200 to almost 1,000 lineworkers from nine states and across Tennessee. We welcome this assistance and are grateful for the help.We still have many days ahead before power is restored to every Nashville household and will continue to provide frequent updates on individual neighborhoods via our website and social channels.

We do expect power will be restored for thousands more households today and tomorrow. For many, power will not be restored through the weekend or longer. We are prioritizing large blocks of homes and moving as quickly as we can. The temperatures hovering below freezing make the work tedious and slow, but we are using every possible resource to restore power quickly and safely to all. Please take all safely precautions in finding alternative shelter over the coming days and take advantage of Metro’s resources for safety. https://t.co/zOSKZHdgkk

I will share updates with you every day until we are on the other side of this crippling storm. We are seeing acts of selflessness, determination and kindness all around us and are grateful to everyone for your partnership and understanding.

[The Twins Almanac @TwinsAlmanac]

The Minnesota Twins selected Kirby Puckett with the third overall pick in the now-defunct January draft on this date in 1982.

But he didn't initially sign...

That spring, he hit .472 with 16 home runs (including four in one game) in 69 games for Triton en route to being named Region IV Junior College Player of the Year. His performance convinced the Twins to up their offer. He signed and reported to Elizabethton where he hit .382 and was named Appalachian League Player of the Year by Baseball America. Not bad considering after high school he initially went to work at a local Ford plant installing carpeting in Thunderbirds.

Kent Hrbek actually has a similar story in that he was drafted by the Twins but didn't initially sign until his summer ball performance convinced them to increase their offer.

[St. Cecilia Academy @StCeciliaAca]

Today we recognized and expressed our appreciation for veterans during a morning prayer assembly led by Mr. Horn. Thank you to the many Veterans on campus as well as our alumnae far and wide who have served or are serving our country. We are grateful for you.
