Happy Piccolo Day

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

Lexapro saved my life. I've been on it for 20 years & the one time I tried to wean off it, my panic attacks returned so ferociously that my original dosage didn't work. Even with a massive career change, exercise, healthy diet, etc, I still need Lexapro to control anxiety. 1/2

it's an unofficial White Sox day at @baseballprospectus.com, with @bradleywoodrum.com writing up the young(ish) core that's backing up Murakami's power production: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

The #WhiteSox have more than just Murakami driving their offense right now. And frankly, that might be a sign these early season successes are the real deal! www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Probably the greatest American Indian ballplayer of all time. Him or Allie Reynolds.

After a hot start and a recent slump, Chandler Simpson is exactly where he was last year. Except for one key difference that has transformed him into a very good player -- and it's one you often can't even see.

Organ music should be the default. Mix it up -- classics and pop hits and showtunes, whatever! But resist the horrible siren song of blasting the speakers with overly loud music and *sounds* into what precious little is left of my ears.

Very fascinating observation about the #Rays hitting approach here. It's hard to know if it's intentional, or the by-product of several essential hitters being lower-LA guys. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

In Paris, we’ll always be proud of these radical transformations. We never tire of seeing this former motorway transformed into a vibrant public space 💫 << Cities for people | Happy proximity >>

And several of those assists had a star on them. How Atlanta let this guy walk will never make sense to me.

If you want to understand why our economy is rigged for the super rich, look at this graph.

After last night’s two-inning relief outing against the Red Sox, #BlueJays Rule 5 pick Spencer Miles now has more career innings pitched in the majors (15.2 IP) than in the minors (14.2 IP).

It died a hero.

I hereby petition the #WhiteSox to change Miguel Vargas's jersey to just "Miguel" so the PEOPLE can enjoy an ALL EM INFIELD. An "emfield," if you'll allow me. "Miguel" Montgomery Meidroth Murakami

Underneath their ugly run differential, the Athletics might still be an intriguingly strong first place team. No, it doesn't make sense to me either. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Another Men’s D1 baseball first for a groundbreaking woman, Olivia Pichardo, at my alma mater! Especially exciting because Brown’s biggest claim on post-WWII baseball history otherwise is Bill Almon, a ridiculous 1/1 pick (1974) by a Padres organization that was completely out of its league.

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

I’ll go one step further: Every public school should have a ballroom.

It's killing me that I can't find out how he did. I've been scouring the web, and all I know is that the Boxcars won (game 1, the one he pitcher).

Wait till they hear what happens to America’s school children periodically.

I like modern baseball more.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

But seriously, this is just my same plate approach in #MLB The Show.

The #Padres closer is elite for entirely predictable reasons. And it is all the more delightful for the same reasons. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

MUNETAKA MURAKAMI HOMERS FOR A 4TH STRAIGHT GAME!

In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.

This seems crazy ahead of its time.
