Love the way the pitchers wore their jackets on the bases. I recall doing that back in the day.

Lots of people are focusing on #socialconnection!

The Princess of Wales wrote a piece on “The Power of Social Connection in a Distracted World”, along with Dr. Robert Waldinger.

The @nytimes.com article headline about recent survey on #polarization has the pessimistic take that our divisions can't be overcome to solve the nation's problems.

Some silver lining - there's some bipartisan agreement that our divisions are a serious problem.

The feeling when...you learn that one of our dinner companions is also a #RedSox fan, and eager to move up our dinner reservation to get back for first pitch!

Wow, clutch!

That was some aggressive base running! #RedSox

That is frustrating! Last time that happened I wound up subscribing…was also interested in checking out Ted Lasso, the Sox being shown there gave me the nudge.

Great game tonight! Nice way to punch their ticket to the playoffs! #ResSox

I like being in the mode of checking the MLB scoreboard last week of the season, as a #RedSox fan! Been a few years...

Oh yes, speaking of checking, I see the Astros got a W so Sox need to win to make this #ClinchDay.

David Crowley @davidbcrowley.bsky.social · 28d

Yes! When they've had their good streaks, lots of production from those bats.

David Crowley @davidbcrowley.bsky.social · Sep 24

Wow! That was an impressive outing by Whitlock. Made retiring the heart of the Jay's order look easy. #RedSox

Let's hope so! Just tuning in mid game here tonight. Seems like he's been quiet.

What an impressive (and timely) blast! #RedSox

Alex Speier @alexspeier.bsky.social · Sep 20

Jarren Duran gives the Sox the hit that they've desperately needed and haven't gotten often this month: He crushes a two-run homer to right. It's just the 2nd time the Sox have homered with a man on base since Anthony's injury. Sox now lead, 4-3.

David Crowley @davidbcrowley.bsky.social · Sep 19

Actually the streak ended later in the game.

David Crowley @davidbcrowley.bsky.social · Sep 18

Trevor Story running from 2nd, shortly after getting his 31st consecutive steal without getting caught. One for the record book i believe! #RedSox

David Crowley @davidbcrowley.bsky.social · Sep 14

It's been a tough stretch! A bit surprised Duran isn't a bit higher. Although I might be thinking of some of his late August hits, such as the insider the park HR.

"The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in politics without fear of violence. To lose that is to risk losing everything. Charlie Kirk — and his family — just lost everything. As a country, we came a step closer to losing everything, too... We are all safe, or none of us are."

A recent It's Been a Minute podcast highlights some interesting new polling data on #immigration. For instance, 79% of Americans now say immigration is a good thing for the country. Generally, support for immigrants has gone up during the past 6 months.
