Steve Phillips has an expanded role on ESPN, it seems. He’s flapping his yap on ESPNews. When will it end?

Fun fact!
Steve Phillips coached my little league team. We were considerably below 500, even with Mo Vaughn playing 1b.
Fun fact!
One of my Little League coaches insisted on having his son play second base every inning of every game, even once when he was throwing a temper tantrum and lying on the ground in the middle of an inning.
My team didn’t do very well that year, needless to say.

Steve Phillips threw a few temper tantrums on his own. He didn’t even have a son on the team, he just was coaching.
There’s something slightly creepy about that. Maybe it’s just me

I really just don’t get the point of Twitter. How short can your attention span be?

The issue
is that most people use it incorrectly. I use it everyday for work and have found it to be a great conversational marketing tool. The trick is to actually share content (i.e. interesting news articles, blog posts, findings/thoughts on work or social issues) and not just flood people with useless fodder about what you’re currently doing.

Random digression: if you played Little League or whatever, what position did you play?
My favorite position was third base, but I was best at second. I often got stuck in the outfield, which is dumb because I’m a terrible outfielder. I’m really bad at judging fly balls.

I like this.
"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
