Letting Alonso go is actually an easy decision if. they invest and have a good plan for the future. They have good player dev and fix Alvarez, etc. His power is pretty nearly irreplaceable, and it plays in a pitcher's park. Pete's been doing this for a long time, Vientos doesn't even have a full sea...

I like Mendoza now than I did earlier in the season. Early in the season, he seemed like a wimp who didn't know what he was doing. I like that he lets his starters decide what they want and stay in every once in a while, instead of doing what the analytics tards would want and have them be pulled a...

I don't know why the guy doesn't just take a victory lap and say "I was right about Biden, thank you all for vindicating me, I will now suspend my campaign" lol, just saw this. Biden withdrew because political strategists ran some scenarios and panicked. Of course, cognition only applies ...

remains true. A few bullpen arms and Jesse Winker probably didn't push the playoff chances much.

I expect that both sides know this.

The Mets have a significant advantage in the second tie-breaker

If it has nothing to do with him why does it have a weird fixation on Greenland?

An Olympic trade.

the final series of 2022 much bigger.

It's better than pop-ups and multiple weak ground-outs which is what we've been getting from McNeil for a long time. My insinuation is that they WERE pop-ups. Mostly a "ha ha this is Yankee Stadium that's basically the infield" way. The double was well struck, but the two flyouts were not...

he hit two balls merely to the warning track at Yankee Stadium tonight. Not a great sign.

There are some seriously red states. Some have highway signs when you cross the border...

When you invite Elon Musk as a seat filler for a congressional hearing and tear gas protesters, it's going real well.

If you thought Biden was going to beat Trump in a debate, well, that just shows how well the media and his advisors have been pulling the wool over all our eyes. Odd, I thought the point of a nomination was to be a good President, not a TV star. And Biden DID beat trump in the debate. Nothing trump...

just a wee less genocidal support maybe?

I don't get it.

Biden was shown internal polling that had him losing New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia and New Hampshire. It showed him up in NJ by only 2 points. (Yes, polls, shmolls, yada,yada,yada.) The fear wasn't that Republicans would have added voters. The fear was that Democrats would stay home. And by doing...

The Biden strategy was to hide from unscripted speaking and another debate would have been a disaster. Harris should offer to debate Trump weekly, heck daily! Polling is limited but the pundits have her as a slight underdog - the more she gets to attack him in front of voter eyeballs the better it ...

This is interesting. Support for Mark Kelly -- in the top job. https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned/ consider the source here. These are heavily pro-trump people, as you can tell by the unsourced assertions in the post. Really this is just a h...

I think the only way for Harris to get this vote is to distance herself from Biden's migrant problem and come out strong on immigration. There is no migrant problem. Biden and Republicans, and probably Kamala too are pretty aligned on migrants. Probably Israel too. The millions of (potential) voter...

AOC? No. Just no. Shapiro, Newsom, Whitmer and the others will be keeping their powder dry for 2028 or 2032. As for Pete, you're not going to add a gay man to a black woman on a ticket. That's asking for trouble. Roy Cooper of North Carolina could be an interesting pick as NC is gettable in the pre...

not bad, just meh. Does Stearns have it in him to be bold? probably not.

service, and yet managed to be on the wrong side of like EVERY issue during that time.

AOC, who should've been the nominee to begin with.
