@RickiTarr I sooo miss my Samsung with the replaceable battery! I always walked with a spare and would just swap them when one died. I'm still hanging on to an older model that allows me a 1TB SD card, but whenever this finally dies I'll be lost.

@tokyo_0 @carrideen Yeah, it's unfortunate that some people prioritize money over almost everything. But Kike doesn't run MLB. Those decisions to ruin the game come from the top. He couldn't agree to it if it weren't offered.

This pisses me off so much... This notification came with the title "TV jitters?" Like... WHY TF are you even talking to players DURING a game??? Let them concentrate. Damn. I never want to hear or see the words "in-game interview" again. Ugh.

😔 #RIP

Richard Roundtree, Star of 'Shaft', died Tuesday afternoon after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old. While indelibly tied to the role that made him famous in 1971, the actor remained active for more than four decades afterward.
