This is it for me, too. My parents tell me I dabbled in baseball 2-3 seasons before, but 88 was when I fell hard.

To my 9-year-old eyes, Mike Greenwell was The Man.

Wish I’d worked my way over and said hi when he and Sam Horn did a Sox pregame event down in Tampa.

The design includes a red hanging Sox logo, the 2025 MLB Postseason logo and sticker variations of the team’s slogan “Tremendously Locked In.”

YOUR BOSTON RED SOX ARE POSTSEASON BOUND!

Popped in for (almost) post-ride beer and got a “share the WiFi password” prompt for somebody I haven’t seen in at least 5 years. Hope they’re enjoying their beverage.

I’d say hi, but I legitimately don’t remember what they look like at this point 🤣

Things are getting a little messy! @redsox.com #BattingAround

Congrats to Big Z on his Hall of Fame induction!

Advice you can also sing!

Why, yes, I was sporting a dopey-ass grin while reading what Callis had to say about Kristian Campbell 🤣

I was staring at the UI for one of our business process tools and going kind of nuts trying to find the damn button I needed.

Please don’t ask how long it look me to realize I’d dragged the window partially off-screen.

@dmoren.com Noticed the delivery email from Amazon yesterday - looking forward to cracking it open!

I have no idea what you mean.

@keithlaw.bsky.social listened earlier today, thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Hadn’t realized how recently it came out and I briefly worried that I missed Joe’s pro-order offer!

@akmcquade.bsky.social nice seats! I’ll be there (but slightly further back) tomorrow.

We’ve come full circle from “lock her up”

It happened again! What’re the odds?!

I should build a Coffee Warning System for my colleagues so they can properly set their expectations for dealing with me on any given day.

For instance, today’s a “forgot to put the cap on the Aeropress” kind of day. 🤦‍♂️

@mergesort.me Who do they think they are, Google? 🤣

@dmoren.com I literally discovered I had a copy of my grandmothers chopper liver recipe last night.

Looking at the ingredient list, I can pretty confidently say you are not chopped liver.

At least, not the chopped liver that’s served at my family events.

🤷‍♂️

I randomly opened Twitter today to look up something and your Bluesky post was at the top of the For You tab, so who was I to argue 🤣

15 years ago tomorrow, we launched welovedc.com, as a bunch of writers who had been writing under another company's banner. We were pulling pretty good traffic for Metblogs - top tier on that network - but the redesign left us out, & the owners were jerks about it. It feels very similar now.

Post from Chuck Wendig saying “HI ERIC *waves*”

Not going lie, I briefly felt special upon seeing this just after I signed up for Bluesky 🤣
