Hawks 22, Anunoby 21. Wow.

@NamethatYank Edwin Encarnacion. Walk that parrot!

Pro tip: always change the name associated with your mass mailing to your own, not the internal name of your mailing list. Especially when it's a CYA list.

Harvey Levin: “That letter was so well-constructed” Ladies and gentlemen, ChatGPT almost certainly wrote that letter.

First big snowstorm of the winter and the on/off handle snaps off my snowblower. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find a replacement. What’s the story @SnowJoe?

Bottom of the 9th would be a perfect time for a classic Aroldis Chapman meltdown.

Last month, while touring colleges in PA, we made an unplanned side trip to the Flight 93 Memorial. In an open field in the middle of nowhere, it provides an excellent opportunity for quiet reflection. If you ever have a chance, go see it. #NeverForget911

@SeanRiddler91 @tdgarden @Ticketmaster I signed up for presales with both WWE and TD Garden months ago, and this is the first show I haven't gotten one for.

Unless something changes in the next few months, 2025 will be the last year for @wwe PLEs in our house. @peacock is reasonable, but I can't justify $29.99/month on top of my @hulu live bundle with all the @espn networks and ESPN+

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

Austin Slater shows how unserious the @Yankees are about giving Spencer Jones an MLB shot. Will he be great? Maybe, maybe not. But we'll never know as long as he's still mashing in Scranton.

In 2008, my infant daughter was inconsolably fussing but when @coldplay started playing Viva La Vida on the @TODAYshow, she stopped instantly. Thus began a lifelong superfandom that culminated in our taking her to her first show last night in Foxborough, which did NOT disappoint.

@iExposingCrazy Can confirm this is a seizure. My dog has them once or twice a month. Very scary at first but now my response is just automatic.

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

Not @RonKillings. He’s been a consistent asset to @WWE since his return. Drop in unexpectedly, call someone by the wrong name, I laugh my ass off, then it’s back to our regularly scheduled program. No one else can fill that role and WWE will be a little worse off without him.

When you take your 11-year-old to his first concert and this is his view. @BankNHPavilion @kanebrown

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

In a series that started with such hope, the main goal for the @nyknicks is to avoid a sweep. As much as I hate to say it, this @Pacers team is the real deal.

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

When I poured hot coffee in this mug at 6 a.m., it cracked, down the side. Not sure what happened, but thank you, @Tyco_IS for a good 11-year run. On the lookout for a new daily mug.

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

@NamethatYank MICK!

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

Watching the playoffs, I’m having a very hard time imagining how Karl Anthony-Towns ever managed to score 63 in a game. This version looks awkward and uncomfortable out there every night.

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

@NamethatYank Jose Canseco, who almost completed his AL East bingo card.

[Derek Rice @derekjrice]

@NamethatYank Troy Tulowitzki. What could have been if not for the injury bug.
