I don't know what type of settings Héctor Gómez has on this tweet that won't allow me to embed it into the blog, but you've seen Manny Ramirez swing a baseball bat before. Even at 52 years old, here's a rough approximation of what it looks like. I'm not exactly sure what makes a great hitting coach. Obviously the ability to communicate the game to your players, work with different swings, identify things that work some players that wouldn't so much work for others, etc.

A banner Memorial Day weekend for the American justice system. Not one, not two, but THREE prisoners they let walk out of a hole in their cell just over a week ago were apprehended returned to captivity. On top of that, they managed to arrest a whole slew of civilians, including prison employees and multiple relatives of the escaped prisoners, who have been charged with assisting these brave convicts in their quest for freedom.

I bet it was hail like this that made people start believing in a higher power. Imagine you're just a regular humble caveman. Everything in life is pretty straightforward.

Philly had a hell of a run. For the longest time, if there was one professional sports city you didn't want to go to as an opposing fan (or player), it was Philadelphia. They threw snowballs at Santa Claus. They beat up Chief Zee. They cheered Michael Irvin's career ending injury. They once pelted an old lupus riddled Steelers fan with batteries. She was wearing an "I have lupus" sign and everything. But as much as I hate to say it, Philly fans have gone soft in recent years.

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. I've been watching the show Suits for the first time. I essentially have Suits playing in the background of my life, either on my TV or my phone, whenever I'm not working. Sometimes when I am working. I've found it to be the perfect show to listen to without really watching, because as long as you recognize the voices, the whole show is basically just lawyers having conversations.
