If Chrissie said half as much, it would be better for all of us. Too much repetition. .

Leylah Fernandez and Venus Williams are the story of this @usopen and it is not even close.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

The last thing Minneapolis--or any of us--needs is for the shooting yesterday to become politicized regarding gender. The Today Show this morning referred to the shooter as male, the NYT as female.

Trump's desire to control everyone and everything appears to be endless. He is demanding the baseball Gods put Clemens into the Hall--NOW, he emphasizes, Who else but he speaks in the superlative, the declarative, and the imperative.

the man who came up with the idea for LL, was a thrill. He ate a piece of fresh apple pie and drank a cold glass of milk every day for lunch. It felt like another world. I came home to Charlottesville with a Chinese baseball cap and mad respect for how good those players were. 2/.

Watching today's LLWS Final reminds me of how much I had in Williamsport years ago when I wrote about Little League. I thought it was going to be my third book, but I felt more compelled to do the book that turned out to be Long Way to Go. Spending time with Carl Stotz, 1/2.

When did a twelve-year age difference become such a talking point and cause for moral, judgmental upset?.

Its title is "Hiding in Plain Sight" and there is no paywall.

I wonder if @dawnstaley can confirm that Te-hina Paopao was always a riot??.

At All-Star weekend, Renee Montgomery teased Sonia Citron that "ya got something extra in your game" and Sonia shyly demurred. I don't like to evoke male hoopers to women, or vice versa, but the more I see, the more I see Larry Bird within this remarkable player.

Putin punked Trump yet again.

I have never heard @liannesanderson say anything once that she didn't want to say five more times. Sheesh.

Every day brings horrible and unacceptable news like this.

I so much prefer a post that prompts a reaction of "How lucky are we" than the snip and snipe elsewhere today that suggests the W is "rigged" if PB wins ROTY outright.

The perfidy and B.S. rolls on.

Dallas needs to make a move and dismiss Koclanes. Period.

I wish Grace Berger could play a little more loosely. The pressure she puts on herself is so visible it is painful to watch. @DallasWings.

We need some transparency here @TheNCCourage. In early June, Sean Nahas takes medical leave. And now he is sacked? What gives?.
