Judge had to swing at a pitch in his last at-bat just to get Wacha to throw a strike. Still got walked. I find the lack of competitive juice from Stout last night and Wacha this evening to be kind of cowardly. At least the Pirates starter last night went after him and did not care if he became associated with a Judge homer.

How can you not root for the small market team with a limited budget who’s never won anything.
It’s tough trying to convince players to come here, but somehow they cobble together a ramshackle lineup of cast-offs and has-beens. Hard to compete with the resources of teams like Tampa, but they manage.

To me I dont see how the Yankees aren’t the feel good story of the year in the MLB. A historically good start, a historically bad swoon that basically took them out of the playoff hunt, to rebounding and making the playoffs anyway. Oh yeah and their star player had a historic home run chase going on the whole time.
They have never been out of the playoff hunt. The downturn only took away any shot at having home field advantage.
People that are not Yankee fans are not going to be pulling for the Little Engine That Could in The Bronx, because, well, the last time they were a feel good story was 2017.
Judge is cool. Anyone that has a bone to pick with that guy probably also enjoys kicking puppies.

Judge has made really good contact tonight on both of his doubles to left. If he had just a little more elevation on the last one it would’ve been a homer. This next at-bat in the 7th is probably his last of the night unless the Pirates have a big rally. Atmosphere has been really enjoyable which is always cool. Tomorrow should be fun with the Sox in town.

I said a few years ago and again more recently that you inflict the most damage upon someone like Trump and his narcissism by taking away the very things that feed the beast. Taking away his businesses and having his name removed from all buildings is a worse fate than prison for him. Granted I think we all want to see a trip to prison for him, but doing what James is doing is actually what will hurt him and his family the most.
It is a metaphorical dagger to the heart if she succeeds in this and repos his assets as payment since he has no actual money.

This turned out to be pretty cool getting here early. They were doing blood tests for prostate cancer before the game and gave out two tickets for a game next season just for doing it. Had no idea they would give tickets away, but I am sure this is something that takes places in parks around the country.

lol and then stanton walks it off with a grand slam.
Hoo boy well tomorrow should be the most electric atmosphere for a regular season game I have ever been to now. Would not have bet on Stanton doing that tonight, but that’s awesome! My mom is watching the game back in Texas on her Extra Innings subscription. She is gonna be as hyped as she can be watching that ending!

I had a British couple this morning at work and I told them that we were watching the funeral this morning. I mentioned that the connection with their queen seemed to be almost a part of their national identity. They thought that was an accurate way to put it because they have only known her as their head of state.
They also said they think Charles is not long for the throne and they want William instead. I don’t follow much of the royal family, but when you have so many tourists from the UK regularly you get an education so to speak.

Trying to shame republicans is a waste of time.
a stronger signal is to discover what federal law was broken and arrest Abbott and DeSantis.
Shouldn’t take the DOJ long to figure it out. If you want to be an inhumane cretin then it’s FAFO time for everyone participating in this, but especially these two.

Dennis Schroeder back to the Lakers for around 2.7 million. This is both a good deal for the Lakers and humorous at the same time. Schroeder taking that deal after what he was offered by the Lakers when he first arrived, well, what a change in contract value this is. Also Westbrook needs to be shown the door before the season starts.

I usually get pretty bummed out on my birthday.
Last year I did one of those Facebook fundraisers with a goal of like $200 for Mobile Loaves and Fishes. People ended up giving like $1200. Most of it was from people I haven’t spoken to or seen in a decade or more.
I was very overwhelmed with gratitude and ended up crying about it, in a good way.
Aww man this is a really good stuff! People can be so amazing when given the chance to do so. This is the type of thing we should talk about more often with others.

Got him with a swinging 3rd strike. At least he challenged him there. Kinda think Judge may have to Vlad Sr. a bad pitch to get his next homer.
