OT- Just a Disgrace!

SHU_Pirate1
Okay, OT but a big enough story to post and I'm sure I'm not the only Yankees fan here who's disgusted and needed to vent. The expectations were huge going into this series and it's been such a terrible let down that I actually resorted to turning the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Some random thoughts that came up trough the headaches and nausea of the last few days:

-Fat Joe?!?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...over! Could we look any weaker or small time after LA breaks out Ice Cube? Joke 🫣

-The one chance to make last night's yawner of a game interesting was killed by the ineptitude of terrible umpiresMark Carlson ringing up Gleyber on one of the worst calls you'll see in post season history. So instead of potentially seeing Soto up with the bases loaded you may have just as well turned of the tv. Besides Yankees fans or even neutral baseball fans you gotta think the network was pissed at that call.

-Aaron Boone. Not one of the many Boone haters out there but what was his reaction after that abomination of a call? Sat there with a numb/depressed look on his face. This is the guy who's been know to ride umps and has gotten thrown out of more games than any 3 managers combined the last few years protecting his guys' at the plate. He just sat there...he was checked out and gave up. Terrible. Not as terrible as pulling Cole the other night, then doubling down on dumb and putting Nestor who hasn't pitched in a month when he had a guy in Hill who's been lights out of late.

Our Ace Cole- Coming to realize this guy is soft. Gives the ball to Boonie after 88 pitches. It's the freaking World Series! What do you think Bob Gibson would do if the manager came to take the ball after 88 pitches?

From what I’ve seen, the two closing arguments basically boil down to.

Trump: Life was better when I was President, put me back in the White House. Harris will just be an extension of Biden.

Harris: Trump is a threat to Democracy and I am the candidate of change even though I’m the incumbent VP.

Also, the fact that they had Walz playing Madden with AOC rather than on the campaign trail a week before the election tells you all you need to know about the confidence they have in him. It’s pretty much lay low and hope enough people vote against Trump.

His message has been more effective. Not a matter of if it’s “better” or not. He’s zeroed in on what concerns a lot of Americans. Is he going to do mass deportations of illegals? No way, but the perception is that he wants to do something drastic which many feel is appropriate. Compare that to Harris and her weak statements on illegal aliens.

I disagree with them zeroing in on what concerns a lot of Americans. The "Kamala is for they/them" ads are silly, he should be focusing more on the economy. And because he hasn't been doing that, his lead against Harris when it comes to the economy has mostly evaporated.

They've tried to make trans issues a wedge for several election cycles and it keeps coming up short. Focusing on it this much as a key part of their closing argument is a miscalculation.

Also, why are you convinced he won't do mass deportations?

First saw her as a teenager in the original Star Trek.

Loved her in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. She's wearing a low cut blouse and Gene Wilder goes to the castle that has two large door knockers and says what knockers. Teri Garr responds, oh thank you doctor.

My wife was in L&D at St. Barnabas in labor with our first and watched Young Frankenstein together between contractions. That line got a laugh out of her:)

Its not like we are getting clear policy positions and less attacking from one side though. Trump's messaging is just that everything is crap now and he will make it all better than it has ever been before, and Kamala is a Marxist, Communist fascist etc.

I don't like Harris and think she is running a bad campaign but looking at Trump and thinking the rhetoric from him is better?

You may not like what Trump is going to do but he's going to do it with conviction and authority. She looks like a deer in headlights answering simple questions. She doesn't even come off as strong talking to media who is fighting for her to win.

5th And he's only a junior eligibility wise. I loved his toughness and wanted him to stay because add his toughness and being 24 or 25 going against 18 year olds doesn't hurt. Not really sure we went out and got a back up who anyone can say he was way better than Long the last 2 years.

2020-21 Covid year didn't count.
2021-22 Injured - red shirt
2022-23 Year 1 of eligibility
2023-24 Year 2 of eligibility
2024-25 Year 3 of eligibility
2025-26 Year 4 of eligibility

I was being facetious. Always liked that he was a fighter.

Seems like she is saying they lied about a conversation which she was not in the room for and would have no way of knowing if it was true or not.

Goldberg is claiming to have more than one source that was in the room for the quotes attributed Meadows and Patel refute the claims (of course they would) but we do know that Trump offered to help with the funeral costs, received a bill and didn't pay.

Being honest, $60k does seem a bit high for a funeral when they did have help from the military and I bet Trump did feel taken advantage of which is why he didn't pay. That and the fact that this was after the election so the politics of it was no longer worth the price...

The family attorney who spoke to The Atlantic says The Atlantic outright lied about the conversation with her.

If it's a he said-she said issue how can there be a bottom line? We know that The Atlantic, and more specifically editor-in-chief and writer of this article Jeffery Goldberg, has lied before.

www.aol.com

Vanessa Guillen’s sister and family attorney slam Atlantic editor for claiming Trump dissed murdered Army servicewoman: ‘He outright LIED’

The Atlantic piece, written by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, claims Trump fumed about a $60,000 bill he received from Guillen’s family for her funeral during a December 2020 Oval Office meeting – allegedly telling aides that “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f—king Mexican.”

What specifically is he lying about here? Did she not send the White House a bill? If she did send it, was it paid or unpaid? It should be pretty simple for her to pinpoint the lie(s), but she doesn't say.

Don't you think it's weird that she won't say what specifically he lied about? I'd like to think she would want to correct the record. As the attorney for the family, I think she's doing them a disservice by not correcting the record.

I don't like Jeffrey Goldberg either but this is weak sauce. If she really didn't say this stuff to him, she should at least be able to point out what specifically he misrepresented or "outright LIED" about.

The rest of her statement is just Trump hagiography and whining about the "timing" of the story. I wonder why she felt the need to attempt to do damage control with this non-denial denial.

Damn. I had just revisited Mr. Mom and Close Encounters of the Third Kind within the past two weeks, and I found myself wondering about her health. She was always entertaining to watch, with natural and note perfect comic timing. I think she had more range than she was given credit for. Look at the list of classics she was in. Not a bad legacy. R.I.P.
