@BaseballWRLD_ Not starting Wheeler was incomprehensible. Case closed.

@MLBNow Stott, Bohm, Marsh have to be replaced? Is this indisputable fact? I really don't think so. How about rethinking the batting order? Kyle Schwarber should not be leading off. He's a three or four hitter. As is Harper. Bohm is a five. Arraez should lead off, followed by Turner.

@nypost Congratulations to Phillies players who, on their way to yet another post-season failure, collaborated to get two managers fired in one season. It takes special chemistry to achieve this kind of result.

@SportsRadioWIP Wouldn't it have been nice to have had Ranger Suarez going in game 3?

@MichaelSteele In the Republican universe, cognition is subservient to dogma. Life is explained through the lens of religiosity. Reality is forced to accord with the tenets of one's faith, else it is termed "fake". This is a lifeview that is fundamentally dishonest , yet it is held by millions.

@thesportsontap As with so many other team standouts, 2026 has been a nightmare season for Austin Riley. Is it possible he's irreversibly cooked, or can he regain the form that made him Mr. Brave just a couple of seasons ago. Tough question. Given his hefty contract, is he movable? Should he be?

@DerrickEvans4WV "Run, Josh, run!" (Apologies to Mr. Gump.)

@RonFilipkowski One of the most patriotic speeches ever delivered at the Retired Flagmakers of Indiana annual Fourth of July celebration.

@JamesTate121 When Morons Anonymous closed its doors recently, many of its members joined the next best organization for the hopelessly stupid -
the Republican Party.

@NormOrnstein People did not flee socialism, they fled communism. If you choose to pretend there is no difference, you are either a witting or unwitting ignoramus. Actually, both descriptions are applicable.

@FordJohnathan5 @HawleyMO More than just curious that the senator singled out Melania Trump's "intimate" clothing items that Jack Smith "raided". Was this officially categorized as a "panty raid"?

[James Riley @Jtwryly1]

@BillKristol This is not trivial innocuous horseshit. This is real unconstitutional serious horseshit.

@MarshaBlackburn Hey Marsha, you be sure to call me - any time of the day or night - when you get any traction on this frivolous lawsuit. Don't you hesitate , even for a minute, to keep this important news from me. I'll be glued to my phone.

@awfulannouncing Tell us how you really feel, Chris.
P.S. I agree with you. But when the whole culture has become completely mercenary, I can understand Notre Dame's venal choice.

[James Riley @Jtwryly1]

@RonFilipkowski If this isn't unconstitutional I don't know what is. Thank God I'm an atheist.

[James Riley @Jtwryly1]

@HawleyMO I wish to God the rules of allowable speech on this medium could be relaxed just long enough for me to say what a flaming a-----e Josh Hawley is.

[James Riley @Jtwryly1]

@SenJohnKennedy I wonder if John Kennedy ever questions his role as court jester of the Senate, since everything he belittles proves to be unfunny and rather fatuous and cringeworthy.

[James Riley @Jtwryly1]

@sarrah_bellus Ten-year terms would be better.
