@TylerCott - I like that BU played Keaton, Kylan and Andrej at the same time, last night. Any thoughts on why that doesn’t happen more often?

@ScottStratman1 I think you’re giving him too much credit.

[Mike David @Mike_David2]

@ScottStratman1 Yep. I think I’ll fire up the grill right after I do a double blind study on the effects of mRNA vaccines in various populations sorted by health risks and countries of origin.

Hearing again today that it’s not the gun it’s the shooter. Got it. And look at all the home runs Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani hit without a bat.

@wischlist Feels like he’s overthinking…even at the FT line…maybe change the channel and bring him off the bench for a couple of games…see if that helps him get his mojo back?

[Mike David @Mike_David2]

@wischlist He always comes to play!

[Mike David @Mike_David2]

@TylerCott When he played, he always had a stick of gum in his sock for good luck, if I remember correctly.

@batcountry1980 @the_game_cat For those of us who are late Boomers/early Gen Xers, no one captured the zeitgeist of the 80’s and early 90’s better than R.E.M. and The Mats.
We are young despite the years!

@JasonIsbellonly have you ever performed Drivin’ N Cryin’s “With the People”? Feels like a song for our times.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

A rabbi was asked by one of his students “Why did God create atheists?”
After a long pause, the rabbi finally responded with a soft but sincere voice. “God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion.
You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching.
He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help.
You should never say ‘I’ll pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist – imagine there is no God who could help, and say ‘I will help you’.”
