So that's a short-haired Yvonne DeCarlo, "Lily," to Herman's right, Grampa Al Lewis to his left. A bald, bearded Butch Patrick (Eddie) is to Grampa's left, and I can't tell if it's Pat Priest or the other Marilyn, Beverly Owen, to Eddie's left. #Munsters

Wisconsin in the #WorldSeries for only the 4th time ever — up 2 games to 0 no less — & the gubernatorial nominee is wearing a FOOTBALL uniform on @FoxNews. “It’s a @packers Sunday” he says at mention of the @Brewers. I didn’t think I could hate the @NFL more than I already do.

Whose idea was it to make Morticia the emcee of the AL championship presentation? (& someone give her a mike that doesn’t echo.) @MLB @RaysBaseball #AddamsFamily #CharlesAddams @LaurenShehadi

Today, the Church in the United States rejoices in the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, a brilliant teacher and evangelist who understood that faith is more than intellectual knowledge and great oratory. It is a matter of the heart as well. Archbishop Sheen was remarkably prescient. What he said about the secularizing trends in society, the dehumanization of materialism, and the threats of Communism and Marxism applies today just as much or more so than it did in the 1950s and 1960s. These threats continue, sometimes in different guises. We still stand to learn much from his great discourses and writings. Archbishop Sheen is also an inspiration to us priests through his commitment to a daily Holy Hour. He has personally inspired me to maintain that daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Blessed Fulton Sheen, pray for us!

I want every George Floyd statue replaced with a statue of this guy. True hero.
BREAKING: The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has broken his silence, saying eight fellow jurors behaved like “activists” who wanted her found not guilty on Day 1. Michael Desronvil said he concluded Clancy was guilty based on the evidence presented in court.

What was the Mass of Vatican II supposed to look like? A deep dive into the liturgical documents on a new @ArroyoGrandeSho Prayerful Posse w/ @GeraldMurray8 and @RobertSRoyal here or wherever you get your podcasts. youtu.be/vBAgB1naocI?si=owoG…

For crying out loud, #WallyBackman should be the @Mets’ manager.

Taking bets on how often we will be seeing @seanspicer & @danturrentine wear the @FairwayGreene golf apparel they’ve been raving about every day for months and months. My bet: never ever again, not even once!

Such a brilliant column from @KimStrassel earlier this month about how the #shutdown is all about the failure of #Obamacare and the real danger that Republicans will destroy their credibility and help Democrats save and enhance it. wsj.com/opinion/the-gops-oba…

Can I forgive @AnnCoulter for being a @Yankees fan? And must I now reevaluate my whole political philosophy? @anntensity @MarkSimoneNY #LGM

Not to disparage his great Hall of Famer father, Tony Perez of the Big Red Machine, but trying to enjoy baseball with #EduardoPerez talking through his nose on @espn is almost as unbearable as listening to the late #TimMcCarver. (Great catcher but shut up!)

“… over a period of time creating a system through gerrymandering states so that we would now have the Supreme Court that we have.” What IS she talking about? #wordsalad remains on the menu! @KamalaHarris

The @MLB #allstargame2025, a disgrace and travesty of the first order, deciding on the winner of a tie via a “home run derby.” We can’t have extra innings because it would bore people who don’t like #baseball. Meanwhile the announcers act like it’s Babe Ruth resurrected.

If I wasn’t aware that she thirsts for & welcomes publicity for herself of any kind, good or bad, I would point out that @DM_Maureen_ is obviously nastier than the nasty celebs she vilifies.

Were the @SNY_Mets audio engineers trying to emulate the @Mets’ performance of the last two-and-a half weeks today? Yikes! Horrible.

Big smile on the face of @JuanSoto25_ when he strikes out in the top of the 6th with the @Mets down 5-0 and having lost 7 of the last 8. He’s starting to remind me of #BobbyBonilla. #LGM

Fun (obscure) @mets fact: “Ghost Fork” master @kodaisenga wears no. 34. So did Dan Frisella, who in the early 70s shared closer duties with #TugMcGraw & whose big pitch was also the rare forkball. Frisella was killed in a 1977 dune buggy crash, age 30.
