Funny story, I actually wrote about robot umpires (ABS system) in the third book of my #Ballparkmysteries it comes out Sept 2026, but you can read the first two books in the series now to catch up! #baseball #redsox #cozymystery

Am I psychic?

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Where there any other guests at this supposed resort? Did I miss when the baddies had everyone evacuated? Or did all those other honeymooners just blow up too. #GH

No, you're excited to drive to vacation tomorrow and spend the night with the new Bake Off episode and Noodles & Co (since we don't have them here).

PA here I come! And if you're in the area on Saturday, come say hi!

Big fan of Cooper Boardman in the Sox booth
That Duran call was ELECTRIC (as someone who no longer has access to NESN without cable). I love my Will, but Cooper is great! #fulllizard @lennydinardo.bsky.social

Nor should you. Pasta is the best. So is bread. Any carbs really.

Pop Douglas in the Sox Booth currently. He sounds adorable! His giggle is giving me life. #Patriots #RedSox

If you go to the seltzer stand behind home plate (it has a roped off line...fancy), say hi to my friend Peggy! She the adorable red head with the wicked accent!

Got to break the TSwift/TKelce news to my office mates. Sorry you didn't ask for the gossip but I'm going to give it to you anyway.

I wanna know who wrote Tom Brady's statue speech today. Kind of funny. Kind of self deprecating. Not as cringy as he can be. #Patriots

We lost something as a nation when we lost the mass market paperback format.

Nat Cassidy @natcassidy.bsky.social · Aug 5

I mean this with aaaaaall of my heart: a mass market paperback edition with a stepback cover and/or cut-through is THE DREAM. Thank you, Justin, for seeing its ideal format!!

Justinallec807 @justinallec807.bsky.social · Jul 25

Hey @natcassidy.bsky.social ideally When The Wolf Comes Home would've been pocket-sized w a cut-thru window to an even-scarier inner cover but otherwise YES, channeling some prime 80s carnage and genuine weirdness beyond the premise. You earned that denouement, dammit, and great use of Roger Rabbit.

Same! I HATED him for so long. But now this year? He's great. And not just cause he's still good. But he seems like a great teammate too. Life comes at you fast.

Steve @redsoxhuskies.bsky.social · Jul 29

There's a lot of athletes I've gone from loving to hating (Boggs, Clemens) but Bregman is the first I can think of that I've gone from hating to loving.

He just keeps going!
