For the first time since I left Sister Cervi’s second grade classroom, I’m going to let the boat drift for a bit.
Channeling @AbbyWambach to thank my teammates these last 33 years:
"I was running to you when you scored, and pointed at you when I did."

My roommate and I had various tabloid sports headlines posted on walls, including @NYDailyNews story that included memorable line:
"Hubie Brown's relentless intensity makes him the most depressing man in America."

Curious night this week at Forest Hills.
Drunken Solider opener was worth price of admission. #41, Pig, Fool In the Rain, Mercy, Casey Driessen's violin, and more, all outstanding.
Madman as closer🤷♂️
I thought crowd was meh, at least compared to SPAC crowds.

No one enjoyed the fiddle more than this dude last night at DMB show at Forest Hills. Last row at top of the stadium.
All Knicks fans are this guy today.

Playing fantasy baseball is a succession of Sixto Sanchez moments with a Braden Montgomery instance every now and again to bring you back the next day...

Bringing this back because I love it when good things happen to great people. Big night for Braden in his MLB debut!! 🤩🤩

#WhiteSox No. 1 prospect Braden Montgomery staying post-game to clean the dugout, even after a loss. One of our clubhouse staff members also told me earlier this week, Braden stayed late to pick up the clubhouse as well.
Raised right.

Haeda: “Mayor, this is Jimmy Oddo, the Minority Leader. Hopefully, we will be working closely the next few years.”
Bill Cunningham: “I’m not so sure about that.”
HeyNowJO: “What’s with these rumors about a record property tax hike.”
Mayor: “Going to be long 8, er, 12 years”

I dont often look to Hollywood for life lessons, but when someone is run over by a 14,000 pound vehicle, is left pulverized on a frozen driveway on a remote mountain top, dies, is resuscitated, and grinds through an agonizing rehabilitation, the lessons for the rest of us abound.

Thank you to all who fought and sacrificed in freedoms defense all those years ago. Incredible footage here. Blessed that both my uncles survived and will never forget the over 400,000 who did not come home.

I've never rooted harder for a professional sports team to win more for THEMSELVES than for me.
I want this team to forever be legends in this town.

Is it bad luck or something that MLB organizations do and don't do?
A fantastic read on baseball injuries, @enosarris @Britt_Ghiroli.
No need to study my fantasy team's IL woes, as the cause of the tank mush is self-evident. #CurseofJDDrew

These are some twisted adults who did this, and they should never be allowed close to coaching a youth sports game again...

It happened again.
An 11-year-old threw more than 160 pitches over a weekend because adults decided winning mattered more than arm care.
#Youth baseball has a responsibility to protect kids — not sacrifice their future for Sunday trophies.
