@po1arbearxpress @TioALnyc He was not a shit manager. You're a shit fan. Mendoza had no pitching to work with and was pretty damn good in 2024.

@TioALnyc The way Mendoza is talked about is incredible. He must be the greatest guy ever because he was a shit manager

@awfulannouncing Dump Henry while you’re at it, the most pretentious announcer that hates America, commentary is boring, and wasn’t even a good player!

@Top100Rick Serious question. And to be clear, Scottie didn't do this. But what would prohibit a player from doing this intentionally if it was their only play.
He got bailed out for hitting such a horrific shot.
English

@Top100Rick @JerryMi84153177 So they know they can just hit in that direction and get a free drop? Seems legit.
English

@JerryMi84153177 It’s designed that way specifically because balls can roll into or under equipment or into dangerous areas. (Don’t want people searching around loose equipment or materials.)

@aschorling34 @ToddVanBeveren @Metsmerized Well fans did elect a communist mayor so would be a valid assumption. And they are doing all they can to have them become fans of other teams. Go Birds!
English

@ExtremeLew @ToddVanBeveren @Metsmerized The Mets are calling their fans communists and clamoring to to trade them to another organization? Must’ve missed that one
English

@JeremyPond I was telling people who were going crazy over the glorified all star game that there probably won't be 10 shots on goal the entire game. I was close.

@MetsSouthFla Embarrassing that Phillies have so little respect for Lindor and the Mets that they didn't use top starters.

@Chris_Liss Just a small example.. went to Ortho guy for shoulder injury. I knew my labrum was torn. He knew my labrum was torn. MRI? Nah.. 8 weeks physical therapy, no real improvement and then I get MRI. When we get results he says he knew it was torn. Wtf

People talk about money printing by the banks (every new mortgage or loan is a print), but I would bet that's rivaled, if not exceeded, by the healthcare industrial complex (HIC).
Think about it, every time a boomer gets a scan, a checkup, a procedure, the government has to issue a transfer to HIC. Not even talking about the Learing Centers which siphon off hundreds of billions collectively via fraud, but the legal, "legitimate" health care system which provides actual services.
I know boomers whose entire lives revolve around seeing yet another specialist, getting another test, talking endlessly about health issues. They are like a marauding army seizing enormous amounts of wealth from wage earners and savers and transferring it to the HIC. The system almost seems set up by design for this purpose. And they are oblivious because it's all "covered."
The problem isn't merely that old people get sick a lot and need medical care, but that old people are incentivized to seek it as a first rather than last resort, and the system is set up to treat this as normal. Your doctor with his pills and potions, scans and procedures is in charge of your health, not you via eating right, exercise, attitude, habits. That's one problem.
Another problem is the system takes advantage of old people, endlessly prescribing HIC solutions to lifestyle problems and stoking their fears to keep them as customers.
Politicians call these "entitlements" and warn of "unsustainability", but it doesn't to the heart of the problem which is HIC-capture that sets the prices, optimizes for extraction and controls the messaging.
People believe healthcare is how you stay healthy rather than something you only use if absolutely necessary IF you get sick, which you do everything in your power (and you have a lot of power in this area) to prevent or at least delay for a long time. Just changing the HIC to SIC (sickness industrial complex) would go a long way. It's not how you preserve your health, it's where you go when your efforts have failed, and it's a weak substitute for success.
I don't know exactly how much money is siphoned legally from the tax payer/saver/wage earner to the HIC, but I do know it's an unfathomable amount. I also suspect that's why the vaccine cult has so much power, part of why the covid response was so all-encompassing, why anyone who spoke out against the mRNA was demonized, fired, excommunicated and destroyed. It's not just a few large companies who spend ad dollars on CNN or whatever, it's a multi-trillion dollar extraction engine, and the entities positioned to receive the spoils have almost limitless unchecked power.
Inflation comes from money printing, but it's not like the treasury just runs sheet after sheet of hundred dollar bills and dumps it into the economy. It's the bank reserves enabling issuance via loans, yes, but also this incredibly escalating healthcare black hole, fed largely by old people who are getting it for "free".
Ironically many younger people, who are not completely covered have their savings wiped out by it and fall by the wayside as inflation gets worse every year, advocate for universal sickcare, not realizing that the reason it's so expensive and inflation so severe is in large part due to the universal sickcare (for old people) in the first place.
The solution to this would be to open sickcare to the free market, not cover it at all, let private insurance and private providers compete for business. This would coincide with lower taxes on everyone, less national debt, lower inflation, cheaper sickcare (no endless demand backstopped by govt dollars.) Young people would be more able to afford sickcare when needed too.
Of course, many old people would suffer and die sooner. More families would go broke paying for their elderly parents during the transition phase before the savings from lower inflation and lower taxes offset the cost of private insurance (that would be cheaper because prices would come down.)
That's always the problem -- going from the obviously broken, catastrophic, unsustainable state of affairs to better, saner, fairer, more sustainable ones involves real short-term pain. That's how parasites survive, make the cost of getting rid of them painful enough that no one does anything about it until they consume the entire organism.

In his peer group it’s worth a discussion.
However Rodgers has 3 MVPs, a SB and SB MVP. He’s more accomplished than anyone who’s not Mahomes.

@ToddVanBeveren @Metsmerized How about how the Mets are treating the fans
English

@Metsmerized Sad that Straw has to post this because of how the fanbase is treating him.
English

@WFAN660 @Keith_McPherson Wow found the one moment he isn't talking about himself.
English


@ScottKacsmar They didn't belong in the final. No different than lopsided Super Bowls where one team over achieved to get there and then ran into a defense that smothered them.
English

@gordondamer Same goes for Yankees if you missed the first inning. It's just not funny
English

@SleeperMets @chelsea_janes War, what is it good for? His team is a million games out, popular players were sent away, he's always fighting with teammates and he can't catch a ground ball any more. Whats his FU War this year?
English

From the 2021-2025 only three players in baseball have a better fWAR than Francisco Lindor:
- Aaron Judge
- Shohei Ohtani
- Juan Soto
Yet, Lindor receives SO much hate...
