inning. Nothing. KC won 9-0. Dave got pulled after 5.1 innings and 6 runs. Last chance. Headed to showers, pulled. He finally waived to us. It was glorious. We didn’t care he got shelled. Haven’t forgotten it my whole life. July 30th, 1979. @richarddeitsch.bsky.social 3/3

My bros knew how to recognize ball players. He was an unknown young player. He said, do you have tix for tomorrow night? We didn’t. We had a different game. He was starting for Toronto. Front row visitor’s dugout. Dave Stieb. We just knew him as the cool guy Dave. We screamed his name every half 2/3

Very random here but I have a Dave Stieb story. Little kid from STL. Weekend road trip with fam to KC. 1979, 6 years old. Crown Royal Hotel Lobby killing time, rainy day waiting for parents. 2 older brothers. Guy sitting there talked with us a long time doing the same. Laid back but nice to us.1/2

The endless free passes of the McEnroe brothers, have always been one of the mysteries of the universe for me.

Just to follow up because many times people don’f, the best phone number by far was the 988 crisis line. The NAMI website lists which states accept out of state calls Not everyone was good or great but I had a few really kind, empathetic, young people. Thanks.

Public money, sigh. Ben Navarro has a net worth of $5 billion. Should have been 100% privately financed as should be all pro stadium projects.

biggest societal problem are ppl who refuse to believe facts if facts don’t support their opinion. They would rather believe lies than have empathy or admit they were wrong and change course. Facts are whatever they want them to be. The % ot this is so high in the U.S. led by vile self pres ppl.

want to know what’s going on in the world too. 2/2 Someone replied to me recently on Twitter saying empathy in general was only good in select situations. Deal breaker for me. Empathy plus, admit you were duped by bad actors, plus change behavior w critical thinking. If only more ppl did this.

Thanks so much.

This is for the U.S. Thanks.

that can no longer physically be there. Meaning you want something physically impossible and you can’t accept it. 2/2 Any tips ideas contacts are appreciated. Thanks. This is for me. 2/2

It would help if the many (casual/few times a year) tennis journalists would actually say that Gauff is a great tennis player, a great variety striker of tennis balls. Nope. Something something athlete, runs well, defense/ Blah blah. Hits a pretty elite ball too. 21, non teen era. Sheesh.

That’s only a partial quote. Delete and post the full quote. “And people that support the things I support.” The 2nd part is just as important. Americans know what this means. She’s a great representative of the good of America.

I’m all for broadcasters getting paid and getting that bag. But I’ve never watched/listened for the broadcaster. And I grew up w/ Dan Kelly, Jack Buck, Bill Wilkerson (my fav) in STL and I liked them all & thought what an amazing job to have for them. No interest in sports talk. But I’ll read.

The McEnroe brothers just talked 30 minutes straight about the Knicks, themselves. Other rambling getting tennis players names wrong. I have heard more Knicks talk than at NY Pizza Suprema by MSG. This seems like Elder Abuse. Tennis fans deserve so much better than this.

TBS, only TNT/Tru. Even the most novice of fans couldn’t get by w/o Max. Courier/Davenport/ Eubanks good. Mac brothers are awful as usual. Adam the new guy struggled. BA was fine as a pxp novice. The McEnroe brothers are discussing Knicks playoffs for 10 minutes while good tennis isn’t shown. Bad.

It’s lumped in with cycling etcTNT/TRU are for non tennis casuals cuz it’s more talk than tennis. Tennis ppl pick their live matches. So far it’s a disaster. They are using too many non tennis broadcasters and some that aren’t good. Tennis fans want pxp-analysts who travel week to week of the tour.
