don't blame me I voted for Kamala and Tim
Ho-lee... Trading Grayson for a Chris Davis-type bat (but with less power)? I mean, we're hoping Grayson turns out to be Dylan Bundy (same team in the trade, even) but I'm scared he'll be Harnisch or Schilling (minus the asshole part on the latter, of course). #Orioles #Birdland

I don't have words. How do you manage to lose the puck in a 3-on-1 in the offensive zone in OT, for like 15 seconds?!?! Cut and fire EVERYONE. Holy fuck. #stlblues

I just realized it's more than halfway through November and I hadn't updated my Halloween profile name. I mean, to be fair, it's been a crazy month. Tons of travel, I got married, I turned 60, and I've been dealing with two deaths of folks at work. Sheesh 🙄

Fantastic – and fortunate – kill so far. Gotta maintain that for the brief finish of the PK at the start of the second period. #stlblues

Blues seem to be getting beaten to every 50-50 puck and outworked in every scrum. And the penalties are piling up. It's about to get ugly. #stlblues

You folks who are more puck-aware than I am – a question: am I correct in assuming that an own goal is not also a shot on goal?
It is, however, a Toronto own goal. #stlblues

Just like last week, "defensive genius" Todd Bowles is going let the opponent double up: score before the half and then score on the first drive of the second half. Watch. It's coming. #Bucs #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe

It's the same reason they tell you they won't negotiate with terrorists.
Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
