Tim Wakefield with the best knuckleball I’ve ever seen

@ByMarkDaniels Would substituting "wouldn't" with "didn't" make for a more accurate and truthful headline? Editor asleep at wheel?

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@NYTScience LOL-level bad. People pay subscription fees to read this type of ahistorical nonsense, hoping to become more 'informed.'

Because it's a perfect movie

[Gabriella Paiella @GMPaiella]

I wrote about why guys are obsessed with Master and Commander, 20 years later. Thanks to @AlexYablon, @willmenaker, @davidgross_man, @rachelmillman, @nandorvila, former Fox chairman Tom Rothman, and the legend Peter Weir for their thoughts. https://t.co/mhlF3QHum6

I dislike all Sith lords, but--upon rewatching some bits of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy--Kylo Ren was an emo millennial Sith, and that mix is abominable and unforgivable.

And poor Paul Pierce vs David Ortiz

Salty sneaking in at #39 is all the more magical when you realize Cam Neely has to take a tough luck loss to Yaz at #8

I present to you the 100 greatest Boston sports players by number.

Sifting through all the New England greats was tough. Let the debate begin!

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@LukieBoxing Willie Pep and Sandy Sadler. Sadler won 3 of 4 fights and while both are HOF greats I've never heard anyone rate Sadler above Pep

Remember what they took from us

[VoC @_VoC__]

“He reformed the Roman Empire is what he did. He was a brave Frankish Emperor. And in this house Charlemagne is a hero. End of story.”

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@FeserEdward Not my guy but Nietzsche would have dominated Twitter format

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@Historycourses Minority view: I felt the most sympathetic character was Diomedes (though not as major as a character). 10 years into a war, he is very understandably impatient with Achilles' drama, urges Agamemnon and Odyseus to return to fight as leaders, even though they're all injured

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@Chateaubriand__ Go on, then... write it

[Fred @FredRarelyTweet]

@boy5ive Done 🙏. God bless

@MostlyAmerica I blame his teammates. "My man cannot throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time"

@timgill924 I hope this tweet gets ratio'd straight to Hades

[Summa Minus Context @TAMinusContext]

time for celebrating

Scripture. Faith. Grace. Christ, Glory of God. Smart man says nothing is a miracle. I say everything is.
