@SenThomTillis @JohnJHarwood You know, @SenThomTillis, if you only had, “the courage to do the right thing…”

…at any point in the last five and a half years.

You still have six months to actually use the power Art. I gives you.

@dccommonsense Don’t forget, Dan, the 1970s Pentagon moved to a Total Force (“Abrams Doctrine”), as another layer to prevent getting “sucked” into conflicts without public support—by putting key sustainment components (strategic lift, medical, SF, intel, etc.) overweighted in Reserves, Guard.

@MalcolmNance @bhaviklathia I took my kids to Wrigley before I went downrange.

New naval strategy to re-open the Strait

President Pro Tem of the Virginia Commonwealth’s Senate, friends.

This is the energy more Democrats need to bring to elections and governing.

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

And, with due respect to the rest of their careers, “character” should matter with respect to any and all 2017 Astros having been adjudicated engaging in sign-stealing.

[Thomas Gary ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ @thomasgary]

@BaseballWriters, @andruwjones25 should be in the @baseballhall—just on his defense alone. Only OFs with more Gold Gloves (Mays, Clemente) are in. Others with same amount (Griffey Jr, Ichiro, Kaline) are in.

And if it’s about “character”, you’ll need to kick out Cobb, Perry

[Baseball’s Greatest Moments @BBGreatMoments]

From 1998 to 2007, Andruw Jones saved 265.9 more runs than an average defender. That’s 113 more than Ivan Rodriguez and 167 more than the next best outfielder in that span.

Grateful for this city. Grateful for this season.

We'll be back.

Wait… I still have four years of eligibility, if that’s the case.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Miami star QB Carson Beck revealed he graduated TWO YEARS AGO after being asked by a reporter if he went to class yesterday...

Reporter: “Did you have class yesterday…”

Beck: “No class… I graduated two years ago.”

He was in the same recruiting class as Bryce Young and CJ Stroud.

🤯🤯🤯

This is coming from a place of love and support, but…

It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’

It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’

It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’

It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’

It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports

First, either PEDs are a no-go or they aren’t.

Second, it’s one thing to use it as a tiebreaker in really close calls, but using post-season performance as criteria is sketchy, at best.

Third, Browne may have problems getting into Vatican City after excluding @MarkBuehrle1.

Today was an exciting day. I mailed my Hall of Fame vote to Cooperstown. I'm a first time voter but a long time (24 years) beat writer. This is an honor.

“Research Like A Champion Today”

The *Other* Golden Domers are really showing those fellas in Indiana what sportsmanship, academic rigor, and humor look like when all mixed in the same hornet’s neat.

Our appetite for top notch research is insatiable. The minute that @georgiatechfb accepted an invitation to the @PopTartsBowl , our best engineers, roboticists, and scientists set out to answer the ultimate research question — which @PopTartsUS flavor is, empirically, the best?

Why didn’t I see this before everything was wrapped

[Thomas Gary ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ @thomasgary]

@davidhenkes @IHOP Already hit up the guy in our league who: 1) came in last; and, 2) drafted Nabers.

Luckily, it was the same guy.
