The Wu Tang Clan is doing the halftime at MGS for Game 4 tonight….what song do you want them to do? 👐

[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

Wu-Tang Clan...and Ernie Johnson!

[David Dennis Jr. @DavidDTSS]

There are 9 members of Wu Tang Clan. Thats more members than minutes that KAT played in the first half.

"We're a target... if this had happened at LSU, people would say ah it's LSU... but it happened at Texas Tech. They don't want to play because they know [Sorsby] is good and they don't want us to be as competitive."

He’s just resting his eyes.

Knicks fans are talking about Wemby the way that John Jonah Jameson talks about Spider-Man

[Spike Eskin @SpikeEskin]

Can you imagine emptying your kid's college fund to spend $26,000 on a pair of Knicks tickets and they lose?

The families of former Dodgers Glenn Burke and Billy Bean gathered Friday night at the unveiling of a permanent display at Dodger Stadium that honors the two LGBTQ+ trailblazers.

Sixty years ago today, the Kansas City Athletics selected Arizona State's Reggie Jackson with the No. 2 overall pick in the MLB Draft.

@mroctober, who made his big league debut a year later before earning five World Series rings, was destined for Cooperstown.

MJ never once faced a team with two 20ppg scorers in the Finals. Again, I’m telling all you 26 year olds to stop looking at Rodman thru the lens of today’s league and look at him thru the lens of the era he played in where the final scores of playoff games were 87-81

#Phillies Alec Bohm is batting .309/.359/.557 with six doubles, six home runs, and more RBI (15) than strikeouts (13) over his last 26 games played. Philly is 18-8 (.692) in those games.

Yowza.

Should probably rub those crystals harder next time

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Tarik Skubal underwent elbow surgery May 6.

One month and one day later, he threw five scoreless innings on 54 pitches and punched out six at High-A.

Maybe Skubal is just that guy, but if nanoscope technology halves the return time from bone-chip injuries, what an advancement.

@FOS Yet another statement from the NYPD, is at odds with MSG statement

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving
