I am really, really proud of you White Sox, This was a group of kids, five wins from the World Series. ❤️
If you're a parent or friend of a player, please make sure they see posts like this one.
One of the coolest things I've seen in quite some time.
#WhiteSox
I just can't.
Nobody knows where or even when WNBA Finals Game 6 will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valkyries, Dream and Atlanta Hawks, sources told @alexaphilippou and @ramonashelburne: spr.ly/6015BH5Zyb
They give you a HOF Ballot for these takes? Of course he's swinging! It's why the barrel goes 45 degrees past the front of the plate on replays. Because he can't slow his bat down, he tries to fake it being a non swing by rapidly pulling bat inward. Oldest trick out there.

Guys and gals:
Me to my son, a Brewers fan, on the way to his work today:
"The Brewers are gonna score at least 4 runs tonight. Probably 5. They match up better than people think against Tampa."
That is an exact quote.
The Milwaukee #Brewers are World Serious. 2-0 Brew Crew series lead!
When finger pointing occurs in the first sentence of an apology, it's not an actual apology.
Strike one.
Statement from MSGS spokesperson: “There is a great deal of misinformation regarding the championship rings. The plan has always been to distribute more than 275 rings and jewelry to the people in the organization who were part of last season’s success. As is common with many teams, the players were always supposed to get their rings as part of the opening night ceremony and then everyone else will receive theirs in about 4-6 weeks. Regarding the phishing email, the process of securing and reminding our employees to protect our IP was not a mistake but the choice to use the ring to do so was a mistake and we apologize to our employees and the fans.
Winning the championship was a great moment for all New Yorkers. Those who choose to focus on the negative are missing the joy that comes with the team’s accomplishment.”
Andre was so locked in that year it was silly. There was no, and I mean NO, doubt who the best player in the National League was that season. And he was a merciless thief in right field, too.
This was essentially the dagger, even though it was Game 2. The moment I knew we were gonna win the title.
As a former speedy baserunner who hit a ton of leadoff, the ole Babe had quite a false step there. 👎
Coach Troy Harper spent significant time drilling proper first step explosion, when stealing, into me.
Do lateral leg extensions at gym. ONE explosive move off plant foot.
Was never about the rings. Was about using the guise they may be privy to one to run a cybersecurity experiment and spy on all your employees with it.
That's how people quit working for you. Not even understanding the actual problem is a problem.
Knicks respond to controversy over championship rings (I can't believe there is a controversy over championship rings). According to an MSG spokesperson: “The company had previously sent out an email to its corporate team as a simulation of a phishing attack designed to strengthen our security against hackers. MSG was recently hacked and extorted using an employee login and password obtained through a similar phishing attack. Using the rings as a lure to gain employees attention was an unfortunate mistake.
The company is gifting more than 275 championship rings and jewelry to players, coaches, employees and other members of the Knicks family, worth more than $3.7 million, in recognition of their contributions and celebrating this achievement.”
Ummmm....
WE'VE GOT A BLOCKBUSTER! 👀
