Our Alexa likes to announce "Good news..." and proceed to sell the virtues of some new version of Alexa, etc. I tried to tell Alexa I don't really consider that good news. Good news would be something like "Alex Bregman has re-signed with the Red Sox." Did not compute. #RedSox #tech

I like the "MLB gift wishes" in the middle of today's column. Autograph days; turn down the volume and a day when everyone can get on the field to play catch for $15. #baseball #MLB
Sunday Baseball Notes now posted at BostonGlobe.com.
Leading off this week: The Yankees hope to get more out of Ben Rice by keeping him at first base. Plus Garrett Crochet was actually unlucky last season, the Braves rebuilt in a hurry and much more:

Alright, @socialcapitalinc.org is getting an award at the upcoming local Chamber gala. Time do some shopping for what I'm wearing. Wish me luck - shopping for clothes is pretty far down on my list of things I want to be doing! #fashionchallenged

Probably...my 20 y.o. son said that feature has been available for a while. I need him to teach me a proper course, I'm probably missing a lot of features that could be handy!

Typically by the time the Series rolls around, I am strongly pulling for 1 side and/or rooting against the other. While I was rooting for the Jays, there are many #Dodgers I like (especially Mookie!). So wasn't sad to see them win, and what a comeback!

While in many ways, in my lifetime, America hasn't been more divided than it is now. However, there are signs that the majority of Americans are concerned about extreme #polarization, and want to work across differences to address common goals. More here:

The @nytimes.com article headline about recent survey on #polarization has the pessimistic take that our divisions can't be overcome to solve the nation's problems.
Some silver lining - there's some bipartisan agreement that our divisions are a serious problem.

The feeling when...you learn that one of our dinner companions is also a #RedSox fan, and eager to move up our dinner reservation to get back for first pitch!

That is frustrating! Last time that happened I wound up subscribing…was also interested in checking out Ted Lasso, the Sox being shown there gave me the nudge.
