It’s so Metsy. The one coach we wanted to keep walks for our division rival. Devin has a whole new chapter to write in ‘So many ways to lose 2’.

So excited to dig into this. Colin Woodard is a great American and every single one of his books are on my shelf. I’ve bought probably 30 copies of American Nations; it’s the only book I loan out with no expectation of it being returned. One of the most important books I’ve ever read. #Booksky

I am not a philosophy guy but I picked this up on a whim a few weeks ago. This stuck out to me:
“If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.”
Strong stuff. #Booksky

I really just want my kids to grow up in a world that celebrates women of achievement who have brains and class. Here’s them at the HMS Surprise here in San Diego. Your name came up 🤓

Been a #Mets fan for 30 years and there is no team I hate more than the #Phillies. I’ve never felt bad for a player in a Philly uniform. But goddammit, what a brutal way to lose a series. Orion Kerkering if you’re reading this, to make mistakes is human. Hold your head high and get ‘em next time.
