Sigh...#Russ #Westbrook's excellent basketball adventure comes to an end. I like #DAntoni but it's rough watching #Harden/#Rockets play #NBA

Younis Khan 10,000 Test Runs

PS. Congrats to #YounisKhan on 10,000 Test Runs. Like the 500-HR plateau in baseball, it's become more common, but still a huge achievement!
