Some inside baseball on this one: When we wrote the storyline, everyone in the production wondered why in hell the Orioles and the Maryland Stadium Authority would ever allow us to film a murder at the jewel that is Camden Yards.

"A Yankee fan."
After a brief pause, they asked a second question:
"Who kills him?"
"Another Yankee fan."

@Too_Big_To_Fail In 2018, I went to SDNY kinda often but traveled with a breast pump. Didn’t care about my phone; didn’t wanna explain all of my extra boob-specific accoutrements as a tender hearted, postpartum, underslept half-person. 😘
Quaker’s 35% Less Sugar Oatmeal doesn't actually have any less sugar, it just contains 35% less oatmeal per packet. You'll never guess how much it costs. (Exactly the same as the regular version.)
Instead, @NYCMayor is threatening to defund @NYC_DOT by more than $35 Million and @FDNY by more than $50 Million.
How am I supposed to talk to my constituents worried for their children’s safety, knowing that City Hall is taking steps to further increase the danger?
