Kyle Schwarber has hit two balls a total 913 feet in the third inning. Mercy.

Brilliant banner unfurled a little while ago, celebrating the great Brazilians who led their team to a record five World Cups from 1958-2002.

Shout out to Gregory from San Diego who flew in to watch his beloved Haiti play Brazil tonight. He clearly gets it and appreciates our home. “Yeah, Philadelphia. Beautiful country!”

Saw this out at a store today. I guess they didn’t ship all of them out to a faraway land?

Go Sixers?

KAT and Andrew Wiggins winning titles before Jimmy Butler.

Not a great night for a Temple/Sixers fan

June 13, 1989: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Los Angeles Lakers plays in his final NBA game—a 105-97 loss to the Detroit Pistons in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. 📺 CBS

Since I have to get up at 3 a.m. for work, I went to sleep when the Spurs were up huge in the 3rd. My wife woke me up and said the Knicks won and I truly believed that she was joking.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Best point differential in NBA playoff history 2013-14 Spurs: +214 2016-17 Warriors: +230 2025-26 KNICKS: +282 A run unlike any other.

Sixers and Cavs lost winnable games against the Knicks and got steamrolled the rest of the way. Could it happen yet again?

They could’ve just used the original picture but instead used AI, a process which somehow took more human effort, cost more money, and looked worse

Cristopher Sánchez's scoreless streak ends at 50 2/3 innings and what followed has to be the longest ovation ever for a Phillies pitcher who just allowed a run. More than a minute long.

I can see it

AI, LaMelo and Carmelo.

This is a fun list. My few thoughts on the matter… - #1 is first ballot all-time best. - Pat Burrell’s looks like Mark Cuban.

Spurs and Knicks are in the NBA Finals, a new Star Wars movie is in theaters, and tech is causing an economic bubble Welcome back 1999

Beat the Knicks, Wemby. Beat the Knicks.

Reminded of how loaded this team was while watching the Jailblazers Netflix doc. They should have just run it back for a full revenge tour the following season instead of getting Shawn Kemp.

When I think of Mike Gansey I think of Kevin Pittsnogle.

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

The Phillies offense should try not wasting Cristopher Sánchez being historically incredible

analytically, the cavaliers are getting obliterated

This is now an ‘Only In Monroe’ fan account

He deserves better right now.

Carter Bryant is a 6-foot-6 professional basketball player and looks like he is 11 years old when Wemby hugs him

Given the current Ebola outbreak, I would like to share a few slides I put together this semester with background context on this disease.

Cristopher Sanchez. Badass

Had it all the way

Looked like Jazz getting thrown out by Uncle Phil

Randomly thought about the Wawa Gritty smoothie. And then the Erewhon Hailey Bieber smoothie. Need a Philly/LA person to do a think piece. Maybe @johngonzalez.bsky.social

Would love a “Will It Float?” while they’re at it.

Doing research on the Sixers executive search.

Kyle Schwarber has homered in five games in a row, which ties a Phillies franchise record. The MLB record is eight. Three players have hit eight in a row: Ken Griffey Jr., Dale Long and ... Don Mattingly.

Rest in peace to Jason Collins, an unthinkably brave person and incredible leader for the LGBT community. Over a decade later and his coming out column is still an astonishing piece of writing. Wish the sport had caught up more and that he could have lived to see it.

13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins has died at 47 years old after a battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins was the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. RIP.

Tobi got more loose balls in that one possession than he did during his entire tenure in Philadelphia.

Haven’t seen anyone say “Call Me Maybe”

Well it’s August, @michaellevin.bsky.social
