Couldn’t stand this douchebag even before he jerked around the Sox front office for negotiating leverage w/the Yanks so it’s nice to get confirmation that he’s as big a POS as I suspected. He grew up in Maryland & lived in Greenwich for years. Big phony. So glad he’ll never sniff the HoF.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

Played for teams in all 4 existing divisions in a single season, has to be a record. Mets traded him the same day they sent Seaver to Cincinnati, effectively announcing they were becoming a AAA team. Always believed the only reason the Yanks traded for him was to play in a Sept series at Fenway.

I completely agree with you Tyler! The way the Sox just swept the 'Stros out of Fenway? Totally uninteresting! Too bad Craig Breslow isn't bold and decisive enough to take on the contract of a 30 year old with a .700 OPS and zero WAR this year who's still owed another ~$70mm.

He’s turned off replies but ‘may’ is doing a lot of work here. Seems like it’s much more of an indictment of Eric Adams and the people currently in charge of NYPD, along with the lax gun laws in Nevada and weak GOP policies regarding firearm regulation. None of which can be blamed on Mr. Mamdani.

Like everybody, I've seen it on tv several times, but watching it on the big screen as a (late) middle age dad, several scenes hit differently than when I was little. The pain of guilt on Martin's face after Mrs. Kinter confronts him, and the look of sympathy as Matt Hooper looks on.
