Oh, no. John Anderson was what country music should be. Working-class hero and just folks at the same time. And his "Down in Tennessee" was in my head when I first started using the phrase "down in Alabama" as a dateline on an Alexa Flash Briefing.

Q: Have you agreed to a trilateral meeting with Putin and Xi?
Trump: I would do it. Not for Ukraine, because Russia has been fine on Ukraine.

I'm not a cat dude, but I'm even less of an entitlement dude so I'll put every Sylvester and Tweety short into that category.
1. A bad and emotional challenge in the first inning absolutely cost the Braves a late baserunner. 2. Catchers' %ages are significantly higher than batters', so why are batters challenging at all? 3. It is dumb to have teams strategize this. Use it on no pitches or every pitch.
Matt Olson wanted to challenge that called third strike, but didn't want to risk losing the #Braves' only remaining challenge. He would've been right. Ronald Acuña using one as the second batter of the game puts the team in a tough spot the rest of the night.

My 4yo screams and is inconsolable with port changes. Last time as I held him and tried to tell him everything was ok his nurse stopped me. She said “first rule mama - none of this is ok. “ then she pulled her top down a bit to reveal her own port scar. She bent down to show my boy and said “you scream buddy. As loud as you can. That’s what I did. You keep fighting like this and I know you’re going to win.” Every time we see her she flexes her muscles and he flexes his.
These nurses are angels.
I hope you win your fight.
Wife just told me I overreacted to a first baseman not covering first base (NOT COVERING FIRST BASE) in a game I don't care about. It's almost like she's never listened to me during a ballgame before.
And you thought politics were affecting your personal relationships.

Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter

Happy 102nd birthday to Birmingham’s own Rev. Bill Greason—the oldest Major Leaguer and last living player from the Negro Leagues era.
A pastor, World War II veteran, and baseball trailblazer, Rev. Greason is a true living legend and an Alabama icon! 🎉

2/7 Americans do not need a press corps chosen by the government. They need a free and independent press capable of holding the government accountable.
I've never even seen a Great Lake, and I learned the "HOMES" acronym today. But Lake Michigan is the one I'm most confident naming on a test, so please don't change that one.
