Many American baseball fans disagreed with my last tweet so here's an open challenge to all baseball fans
Can anyone name even ONE clutch baseball player who has hit a ball travelling at 90mph ?
I can name 4 to 5 clutch cricket players who have done it multiple times
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
MLB four-seam fastballs averaged 94.8 mph in 2026 with thousands of 100+ mph pitches thrown and routinely hit by batters including in World Series and other clutch situations.

“If putting me on the sidelines brings more eyeballs to Sam Houston … then I’m for it.”
Social media and the rise of commentators who succeed on cadence over substance (Josh Pate) has given so many of these average, know-nothing people such an insane ego complex.
You’re not the main character and you need to log off the internet.
This is an overreaction

The Cavs played last night...
If someone like Donovan Mitchell who's a 100+mil/yr investment got hurt because they were forced to play twice, in 2 different cities, in 15 hours to accomodate a team that don't even play in the arena, the NBA would shut the W down on the spot...
I respect the delivery drivers making a living but this and riding on the sidewalk is getting out of control.
NEW: Manhattan Residents enraged over delivery bikes flooding their street.
East Village neighbors spoke on 1st Avenue and East 11th Street on Thursday afternoon, saying their block has been taken over by parked delivery e-bikes.
Speakers said the street holds about 40 parked cars but roughly 400 e-bikes, and one resident said rats crawl in and out of the delivery bags. "Why are 400 e-bikes on this one block?" an organizer asked the crowd. Longtime resident Michael Anton said the bikes keep multiplying every time he steps outside.

Worst guy you know makes a great point

I cannot stress this enough. Doing this at a legacy paper like the LA Times or the Chicago Tribune or even the Dallas Times Herald would get your article pulled on the spot and possibly even get you fired. This is embarrassing and shameless.
I wouldn’t call it failed they drafted him because he would take less money which led to towns
KAT is better?

So the Hawks went above and beyond to figure out a solution, but it was unacceptable to the WNBA, and so it is still somehow their fault?
Fun little aside: During the frantic negotiations over the weekend, an unlikely ally emerged-- the @WWE . At one point, sources told ESPN that Steve Koonin Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena CEO reached out to WWE President Nick Khan and asked if he'd be willing to move the telecast of this week's Smackdown to accommodate Game 6 of the WNBA Finals on Friday night.
Smackdown usually airs at 8 p.m. on Friday nights on USA Network, which is the broadcast network for this game. If Game 6 were to be played from 7-9 pm at State Farm Arena, the WWE would have to move an hour later.
Koonin, the former President of TBS, had known Khan for decades. Khan told him they'd be fine with the later broadcast window if that’s what was needed to help the WNBA Finals play in a more appropriate arena.
After that sign off however, new concerns were raised by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert about playing a potential Game 7 on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Election Night. So that plan fell apart and the league moved back on to the idea of playing at 12:30 pm on Thursday.
Smackdown will remain at its regularly scheduled time. The Dream announced earlier Wednesday that Thursday’s Game 6 is sold out. espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/503…
What lol
New: NYC will pay the teachers’ union $8.7 million for “building positive nurturing environments” during the COVID pandemic in 2020-2022 under a RETROACTIVE contract approved last night by the Panel for Educational Policy. The DOE refused to specify what labor the UFT provided, or explain why the city is funding it SIX YEARS LATER.
Agenda item #3:

this is how you build housing without displacing low-income people.
start with the most expensive areas first and work your way to the cheap areas as average rent drops.
The mayor putting the Upper West Side and 11 other districts on the fast track to build housing because they haven't done their part to do so is a game-changer:
"The Upper West Side constructed 152 affordable units in the last five years." westsiderag.com/2026/10/14/m…
Is your brother who molested an 11 year old also an evil person?
Anthony Raia retweeted
For those of you mercifully confused by this and her whole... thing, Nicki Minaj wants two things: a pardon for her brother (who was convicted of sexually abusing an 11 year old girl in New York State, a pardon that can only be granted by the governor) and a pardon for her husband (he didn't register as a sex offender in California, a federal offense, which can only be pardoned by the President.)
