The world lost an amazing person today. I attended many of her concerts but never had the privilege of meeting her. Yet, I feel as though I lost a friend today. RIP Livy.

@mmpadellan Russert laughing at her rebuttals to trump is unprofessional.

@nowthisimpact Why in the world would those journalists shake his hand?

@_piccone In the midst of their horrible announcing of games this game may have been their worst. I watch with the sound off, but during this game I had to see them on camera after almost every pitch. Stay in the booth and get your free food delivered without the fans having to watch.

@pat_croce Thank you for sharing!

@pat_croce Your gift is you make everyone smile. Be safe.

@pat_croce I took the opportunity of a snow day to watch a very good movie. “The Mighty Macs” is a great watch for anyone. I did not realize you were an executive producer on the film. Outstanding story and great work by all involved.

@FranzkeLA Good first step eliminating a sideline reporter. Now do McCarthy and Kruk.

@EugeneN7353 @FranzkeLA If you want the fan experience go the stadium. When watching on TV I do not need food reviews.

@ThePhilliesShow He should have been released that day. I believe the problems with Castellanos were much much deeper than this one incident.

@JawsCEOQB Nothing like it. I Enjoyed a game yesterday where my one granddaughter played against another granddaughter. CYO basketball is awesome.

@BasicBlues Why do refs put themselves at risk of serious injury by attempting to break up fights? Let the players beat the hell out of each other and then suspend them.

@pat_croce Just came in from my first round of shoveling. Breathing hard but “I feel great!” Going to give this 69 year old body a lot of breaks today.

[John Bates Jr. @JBATESJR]

@pat_croce Happy Anniversary !

@joonlee @miketirico is the best play by play guy in the business.

@pat_croce You should write a book with your journal posts.

@marykbruce Thank you Mary for standing up for the freedom to question those in power. I wish others had your courage. You are a rock star.

[John Bates Jr. @JBATESJR]

@ABC @marykbruce you are a rock star ! Phenomenal work today.

[John Bates Jr. @JBATESJR]

@jonkarl @marykbruce Way to go @marykbruce you were phenomenal. More reporters should hold him as accountable as you do.
