“Seen enough”? @JoeyDaKRacing Here’s more.

For nine months, my wife, Brooklyn, carried our baby boy. And for nine months, we lived in a place between hope and heartbreak. Early in the pregnancy, we learned something was terribly wrong. Around the three- to four-month mark, doctors told us our son had severe hydrocephalus — fluid building so rapidly in his brain that it pushed everything aside. They used to call it “water on the brain,” but the simplicity of the name didn’t soften the reality. We were eventually referred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where some of the best fetal specialists in the country met with us. And they gave us the kind of news no parent is ever prepared to hear. His condition was so severe, so extreme, that they stopped measuring. There was no point, they said. The MRI images were devastating. We were told there was a greater than 90% chance our son would either: • Die shortly after birth, or • Survive with such profound cognitive impairment that life — real life — would not be possible. We sat through meetings no parent should ever sit through. Conversations about breathing tubes. About how long to try. About the moment we might have to make the decision to let him go. Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati to be close to the hospital. I drove back and forth — working, caring for our daughters Sophie and Lily, and trying to keep our home standing while our world felt like it was falling apart. Then came July 8th. Just 15 minutes before Brooklyn’s C-section, we sat with doctors again and discussed when — not if — we might have to remove life support and let our son go to heaven. I don’t have words for that kind of pain. And then — Charlie Edward Schnarr entered this world crying. A strong, loud, defiant cry. The most beautiful sound I have ever heard. He stayed in the NICU until yesterday… and now we are home. Together. Holding him. Loving him. Watching him breathe. Watching him live. He has mild ventricular enlargement we will keep an eye on — but otherwise? He is thriving. Eating. Wiggling. Yawning. Gripping our fingers. Looking around at a world that was never supposed to be his. The doctors have no explanation. They said his brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own — something none of them have seen in a case this severe. The word that kept echoing through the NICU from seasoned nurses and top specialists was the same: “Miracle.” “Divine intervention.” They said it. Not us. We know thousands of people — family, friends, coworkers, strangers — were praying for our son. I believe with everything in me that God heard those prayers. That He placed His hand on Charlie. That He said, not this one. I will spend the rest of my life thanking Him. To every person who prayed for us — every text, every message, every whispered intention — thank you. You carried us when we were too exhausted to carry ourselves. Prayer is real. God is real. And miracles… they still happen. With a full and grateful heart, —Nick

congratulations to the smartest hitting instructor of all time. using a video of the best hitters in the WORLD, that share SIMILAR MOVES, and began their playing careers before you were RELEVANT. you didnt “create” the idea of staying behind the baseball. EVERY good, professional hitter does it. NOT EVERY good, professional hitter stands on one leg and “snaps”. you have beautiful concepts that most people in the hitting world agree with. you lack the ability to converse and understand that people can get to positions you teach without being HLP/TM if you werent so insufferable people would be open to learning your good, helpful, and revolutionary concepts about weight.

Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with. I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated. This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history. 2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice. RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk. ❤️🙏

How delusional and disgusting do you have to be to make a statement like this @MSNBC

TIGERS WINNNNNNN

BREAKING: Red Sox, INF Alex Bregman are reportedly in agreement on a three-year contract.

ICYMI, Isiah Kiner-Falefa declined the Pirates’ offer to play today and hit a performance bonus. Derek Shelton said when he originally set the lineup he didn’t know about the bonus, and then offered Kiner-Falefa a chance to start when he found out. IKF’s explanation:

#8 GERLIN'S EMPIRE ($8.42) and @Tyler_Gaff "ran 'em down" to break her maiden in tonight's opener at @ChurchillDowns. Congratulations to trainer @DallasStewart3 and owner Gervais Racing (@LoriBGervais). Bet the Early Pick 4 with @FDSportsbook.

Thank you @DRFLivingston for capturing us together. He was an absolute gem
