Clouds obscuring the night sky at Fenway Park. Even the moon can't wane right.

@harmoniiturner Inspirational. Thank you.

waited all these years… these are happy tears ❤️ #IvyMadness #ivychampion #mvp #hoopnerd

@garystriewski My kids were really impressed that I knew the guy who popped up on the Disney+ homepage, until they found out I wasn't talking about Bandit.

@jabes2019 @matthewpouliot That can’t be the threshold.

@brianmacp @matthewpouliot He has a higher WAR than Baines though

No Pedroia from a writer who covered the Red Sox and used nine of 10 spots. Time to come to terms with the likelihood that he won't even clear the 5% threshold.

@mattymatty2000 It was a tough check mark to withhold

@brianmacp Pedroia :( (probably the right call, but I'm forever hopeful) (hope you're doing great, Brian!)

@THEBostonChris Pedroia comes out closer to Kinsler, for me

@brianmacp I'd love to hear the decision making process for Utley but no Pedroia, I see them as very similar.

@GregHall26 It was tempting.

@brianmacp I got a say your check mark game is strong, but you had a spot left for The Laser Show. Would’ve been nice to give it to him since you weren’t using it.

@matthewpouliot Then do you also vote for Kinsler? baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_2…

@brianmacp I don't take issue with your ballot... you picked nine, that's great. I do think Pedroia is every bit of deserving as guys like Helton, Mauer and Edgar, without getting into closers or all of the committee picks, but I obviously understand why not everyone is with me there.

He’s come a long way since he got lifted for a pinch-hitter in the middle of an at-bat

@EdHand89 Since JD Drew?

I'm not sure I've ever encountered a player as universally hated by right-leaning 40-over Red Sox fans and beloved by left-leaning 39-under Red Sox fans as Triston Casas. Fascinating stuff.

@MassDCR Great. Don’t stop there.

We have issued the following advisory for Memorial Drive:

“We just saw one of the greatest games in Mets history.” Mets history may be short on postseason wins but long on postseason magic. The 2024 team is charting its course into franchise lore. nytimes.com/athletic/58175…

Can’t believe Belichick got passed over again.

@MikeConnollyMA @MassDCR Why does DCR have jurisdiction over a busy and dangerous roadway? Why can’t this roadway be managed by experts? There are so many problematic sections — the section you mentioned, the parking spots past JFK Street, the poorly designed intersection in front of BB&N…

Tonight, @MassDCR is expected before the Cambridge Conservation Commission to seek approvals for building a 12’ shared use path between the DeWolfe Boathouse and the BU Bridge. The work will cost approximately $1 million, including curb cuts, wheel chair ramp reconfiguration, re-striping, and installation of 700 linear feet of Boston Pattern fencing adjacent to Goose Park. DCR says they are “aiming for work to begin next week/following week, depending on permitting.” While our community continues to morn the loss of John Corcoran, and while the crash with an out-of-control automobile driver that took his life is still under investigation, I’ve been engaged with colleagues and local activists to advocate for the rapid completion of these and other safety upgrades. Special thank you to Leader Moran and Sen. Brownsberger for their support of this work.

You went to medical school to learn to treat patients, not to learn to code claims. In the latest episode of the athenahealth podcast, Dr. Nele Jessel walks through the forthcoming Enhanced Diagnosis feature: apple.co/3N0TRBP #podcast #AthenaHealth #Healthcare

@mattymatty2000 This shot is from the Cam Jansen

Potentially the world's very first Jansen/Jansen battery

Timing.

@thedollop Hope he’s a shortstop who can make the play deep in the hole

There is a kid at the Little League World Series who is related to Phineas Gage.

Pochettino!
