This is the happiest possible play
Swanson to Hoerner to Busch
Hearing Pat so eloquently say
“Swanson to Hoerner to Busch”
On the infield they hold court
When @Cubs opponents hit a ball to short
Showing they are the best in the sport
Swanson to Hoerner to Busch

Some advice for all you dog owners: You should occasionally go out back and pick up all of the Chicago @Cubs bullpen. @watchmarquee

@obvious_shirts , We’re at the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. Do you do these shirts or are they knock-offs?

Never knew most of these
A guy worked as an Apple Store Genius for 5 years. He repaired over 10,000 iPhones. He taught over 15,000 customers how to use them.
He said the same thing happened every single day: a customer would hand him a $1,200 iPhone, and he'd realize they were using it like a $200 phone from 2014.
"The iPhone has a built-in document scanner, a password manager, a sign language interpreter, a live translation system that works in real-time conversations, a sound recognition engine that alerts deaf users when a doorbell rings or a baby cries, a satellite emergency system that works with zero cell signal, a car crash detector, a text extraction tool that reads words from any photo, a background noise canceler for phone calls, and a health monitoring system that tracks everything from walking steadiness to hearing levels. Most people use it for texts, calls, Instagram, and a camera. That's a $1,200 computer running 5 apps."
He said Apple adds 50–100 new features with every major iOS update and never tells you about most of them. They're buried in Settings, hidden behind gestures, or tucked inside apps you've never opened.
"Apple builds the most powerful consumer device on earth. Then they ship it with a 2-minute setup wizard and hope you figure the rest out yourself. You won't. Nobody does."
Here are the 11 things he showed every customer:

Why aren’t airplanes designed to allow one carryon per passenger when the flight is full? @SouthwestAir
After a 2-hour flight delay, they have to pile-on making us check our carryons. They used to be special. Now their just another commodity airline.

@mlb needs to get it together before they lose even more credibility on reviews like this. Just bad umpiring.
Craig Counsell on Nico Hoerner's stolen base attempt: "There is a clear blocking the bag there. It's very clear. The reason why Nico came off the bag is because the player is blocking the bag and he has to adjust his slide ... they don't even look at the blocking of the bag when that's what caused the player to come off, it's kind of illogical ... he came off the bag because Henderson had his foot right in the sliding lane."
