So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.”
Nothing suspicious about that at all.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
More than 17 years ago, I went to Mobile, Alabama, to meet a 20-year-old everyone said was going to be the next great pitcher. His name was Clayton Kershaw.
I had no idea what he would be, because none of us has any idea what a pitcher will be. But I really liked him. He was a kid, but he had a maturity about him. That rare mixture of confidence tempered by humility.
What he became was astounding. Three Cy Youngs. Two World Series rings. One MVP. Inner-circle Hall of Famer. Forever Dodger. He is one of the defining pitchers of his generation and an all-time great.
I re-read that story today after Kershaw announced his retirement. There are far better things that have been written about Kershaw — do yourself a favor and read @ByMcCullough’s brilliant “The Last of His Kind” — but it made me a little wistful looking back on a career in its infancy when we know it turned into a supernova.

Cannot stress how massive of an L this is on @NoLayingUp part.
KVV’s Deep Dives / writing / all around upbeat vibe are irreplaceable.
This coming from the account he poked fun at for “having nothing to better to do in Louisiana”. 😂 😂

Solution: don’t call players before the selection. Let them watch the pick live or on TV, get an awesome reaction on camera, and then have teams call the player after to congratulate them.
Apparently, Rory has donated the whole of his Masters prize money ($4.2m/£3.1m) to Mencap, a Northern Island charity which supports thousands of people with a learning disability.
If this becomes a serious issue for people I am going to start virtually stabbing people in the dick. This was Tiger’s M.O. for ages and these same people gobbled that shit up.
Stop bitching about how no one wanted to pet your goddamn yappy dog at the park today.
Shoutout to Justin Rose. Back to back runner ups at Majors at 44 years old. He stayed while all his Ryder Cup buds took the bag and bounced. He didn’t take the bag bc he knew he still had some good golf in the tank and he has shown it.
100-1 for The Open at Royal Portrush.
