“they are now a slow-burning candle, and at times the candle does not even appear lit.”
⬆️ Exactly. Well said, @Ken_Rosenthal
Rosenthal: Red Sox ownership shares the blame for team’s underwhelming offseason

Nailed it, Buck. 110 potential innings of Chris Sale just isn’t drawing me in this year. It’s sad to think about Mookie and Xander. This hurts. Read this column, @RedSox.
We often call rookies “wide-eyed,” without ever taking the time to look into the kid’s actual eyes. But Xander Bogaerts looked like he belonged in the big leagues from the moment he arrived in Boston in 2013. Here’s my column @TheAthletic … theathletic.com/3980458/2022…
Really? Right now? Can’t we get a break? Like a month of without chaos?
I used to default to “I’m proud to be American” and “well most people are generally good, even if there’s a few bad apples.” Not anymore. Nope. Embarrassed. Sad. Mad. Confused.
Desperate to know how the Instagram ad targeting algorithm led me to an inflatable dinosaur, remote crocodile and a bazooka bubble maker gun thing. I mean I don’t hate them and the crocodile looks kinda fun but…wtf? #advertising

Is this in-app experience for real, @NFL? A video ad, a text ad, a graphic ad, a Google ad. 90% of the screen is covered. Wow. #nfl #advertising
The anti vaxxers are turning me, a perfectly rationale human, into an anti masker. Why should I need to put my mask back on because you’re an asshole.

Finally, a social media story that doesn’t leave me saying “and this is why I hate social media.” This was awesome! xitter.cf/i/events/1388713564442…
It’s irrational. But...the changing digital logo on the mound is driving me a bit nuts. Like, enough already @NESN. There’s 2,976 logos in Fenway we don’t need another. Whoever advertises there I purposefully don’t buy from.

Anyone else seeing the same stock photo models EVERYWHERE? Or is that just me? #pandemicmarketing
Tonight, I either sink to a new low or reach a new high, depending on how you look at it, as I join @birbigs Worldwide Comedy Pizza Party.
Classic Pizza, Taunton, MA is the local pizza of choice. I hope there are a lot of pepperoni/areola jokes.

Ashley went with the calzone, a form of pizza for people who do not want to be reminded how much cheese they are putting in their body, and so they just say hey can ya just hide it in the middle somewhere?? Good joke, @birbigs ? Eh, I’m working it out.
I hate how “accountability” has become synonymous with resigning. Like we just expect people who screw up to resign and we’re like YUS, WE DID IT!
Isn’t resigning, kind of like a cop out? Like, an easy way out? Like, you don’t have to fix what you screwed up?
I can’t quite understand what I just watched. @derek_del. I don’t know what else to do but tweet. That was...bizarre. And wonderful. And thanks to @birbigs for sending me to it. #inandofitself
So exciting to be a @RedSox fan, as they stay asleep at the wheel. Woo!
Wait. Did Romo just say Baker is playing well today? With 3 points in the half? Oh. Ok. #nfl
