@inkstainedretch B-I-N-G-O!!!! If you’re not going to protect your hitters, then they will be hit with impunity. There is no downside for opposing teams. None. A nice well etched seam tattoo on Acuña’s thigh was well warranted. No, it was necessary!
@inkstainedretch Growing up with the “first team to 10,000 loses” Phillies of the 60’s and 70’s, and 90’s I would never believe we would be someday celebrating the Phillies-way in the same way we longingly admired (and hated) the Cardinals- and Yankee-way.
Taraji P. Henson sounded the alarm at this year’s BET Awards about Project 2025. Despite the growing uproar over the legislative plan, some conservatives are denying knowledge of it or denying its existence outright. But the threat it poses is well documented & cannot be ignored.
@inkstainedretch Love this: “ Baseball, on the other hand, is a balletic distraction available every evening that weaves a fabric that connects spring to fall and makes the drudgery of summer more bearable, but only if you are willing to invest.”
It’s the sound of a radio on a hot muggy night.
@barbaralaker thank you for the loving story about Dutch. Can you please tell me what research has been done on the men and women (grounds crews, “ball girls,” and others) who, while less famous, spent countless hours in close contact with the turf at the vet?

@solomonjones1 thank you for saying this calmly, clearly, and out loud. Are we as a people who we aspire to be or are we governed by our lesser angels? Are we a nation of Laws or of Men? https://t.co/Eb3MDQ8wTh
@PompeyOnSixers@PhillyInquirer I’ve been seeing that 1983 connection in the comeback wins, too. I watched every game that year and it got to point where you wondered, are the Sixers just toying with this team? The last 10 minutes was lock-down time. They could be behind by 10 and there was only confidence. WIN
@inkstainedretch Thank you. They are some very lazy takes from GK—hardly worthy of the “professional” standards he uses to judge others, current or historical. Not the type of Pro we all root for. #StraightUpDumbassery
@RedWeatherTiger Gggggrrrrrrrr <oops, threw up a bit>. Couldn’t one of the many alligators of Florida please sample his “thigh food?” The femoral artery is a very taste food of “thigh-land” (I hear people are saying that’s a candidate to rename the theme park in Orlando.) Meatball Ron.
@PompeyOnSixers Looking at the final score, that is one strange +/- line for the Sixers. Wish I could have seen it (Comcast hates DIRECTV and fans in the 🥢 get hur). I saw what musta been a 3rd qt score and thought it was final—a crushing defeat. Went to bed very sad. All Sunshine Today.
@PompeyOnSixers Excellent Ivaroni reference. Thank you from us graybeards . When Bobby Jones played 6th man, having a 6th man was valued. Him starting caused press. However, BJ brought defense that Maxey does not. He locked it down!! This summer, that needs to be Maxey’s off season growth.
