I felt that they had some sort of a chance going back to NY...maybe not coming back and winning the Series, but at least making it interesting. I still think they can get a game, the Dodgers are throwing a bullpen game tomorrow. But this Series is over.

Yeah, but that's not what I meant and I think you know it...political climate back then = not the divisiveness we have now between democrats and republicans. I wasn't talking about WW2. Newspapers endorsing political candidates isn't a problem. Bezos came out and said something today about "no one has ever based their vote on whether or not a newspaper has backed a candidate." Which is true. So if that's the case, then what's the harm in endorsing a candidate?

From a 35,000 foot view, he's right. None of us were around from '33 to '46, but I can't imagine the political climate at that time was anywhere close to this. The most fractured this country has ever been that any of us would have some semblance of would be the late '60s. But what Bezos did was kowtow to Trump. He caved to a guy that's ramping up his fascist fantasies as the election draws nearer. The things that Bezos did wrong were not having a spine in this particular case...he's afraid of what'll happen to him and Amazon and the Post if Trump wins and decides to put Bezos and his businesses in the crosshairs. Basically, for being one of the most wealthiest men in the world, he's a giant wuss. I would applaud Bezos for strong arming the Post into taking the "no endorsement" stance in four years from now when, presumably, Trump is no longer in the scene and the Republican party has stopped acting like a bunch of feral raccoons. It turns out that Democracy doesn't die in darkness after all; it died in a meeting between Trump and executives from Blue Origin which is Jeff's aerospace company. So the timing isn't the issue...this decision wouldn't have been welcomed 8 months ago, or 6 months ago or 3 months ago or 1 month ago. No matter the timing, it would have been received as it has been...which is no endorsement is an endorsement of Trump. Maybe the backlash would be less severe, but there still would be backlash. This would mean the media has a soul and a conscience and they do not. They're here to sell clicks and views and Trump is good for business.

Yes, we can attribute it to that

I said what I said. Make no mistake, he's going to get a massive contract this offseason...as he should. But I can't imagine he spends that whole contract playing outfield. He will be a full time DH in the back half of his career. His outfield range is in the 14th percentile on his baseball savant page. He still does have a good arm, but that's about it.

Always knew Soto's lack of defense would hurt them. Either a few papercuts like that bloop single for an RBI...or a major error. Dude is a liability in the field.

Rizzo led a meeting before the game! Enthralling!

For dinner tonight I was making these ground lamb pitas. They're a recent favorite in our house. Wife's out of town seeing friends, it's just me and Spiff Jr. who's about to turn 3 in December. He has this tower that allows him to be at counter level and from there he surveys the kitchen and makes demands on what he wants for dinner. And if he really gets a bug up his ass, he'll push his tower around to grab things off the counter or point at things if his demands aren't clear. So I'm about to serve up these pitas, you spread some hummus on them and then put the meat on top, tomatoes, etc. Well, that's not what Spiff Jr. wanted, he wanted peanut butter on a hamburger roll. I grabbed the burger rolls and told him that the hummus was peanut butter. For maybe the first time in his life, he looked at me like he knew I was full of ****. But not wanting to negotiate with a terrorist, I dug my heels in and opened the hummus, told him it really was peanut butter, spread it on the burger bun like it was peanut butter and then put the meat on it and gave it to him. And he damn near ate the whole thing. -
Doubt it. I mean, maybe...and I hope so. Having Tony Hinchcliffe at your "closing argument" was a ****ing stupid idea. The guy wants to be a new Don Rickles but he's just not nearly as good...and that's just not the time or place. Here's hoping pulled a Plaxico but I doubt it. Yes it does. They just try to slightly less obvious about it.
