@jaynordlinger Yes, dishonorable.
The only reason to do this is for purposes of publicity. Yet, this’ll of course draw much more attention and make Trump look much worse. It’s a characteristic aspect of Trump’s pettiness.

The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." Free gift link: nytimes.com/2026/07/23/us/…

I returned from being overseas with my family the day after this. At that time, you’d have no way to know what happened. Shortly after getting home, when I turned on the TV, Jerry Girard was giving his sports report on the WPIX Channel 11 news (New Yorkers from that time know the reference). He began with, “Unless you’ve been out of the country, you know what happened at Yankee Stadium yesterday.”
Likewise, as a Yankees fan, I had huge respect for Brett. Just a great ballplayer. The pitch he hit for his “pine tar” HR off Gossage was practically a shoulder high fastball. Incredible. In a strange way, I think he’s somewhat underrated. Should’ve been on all-century team introduced during World Series, instead of Brooks Robinson.

My all time favorite non-Mets player. Love the detail that it was Gaylord Perry who swiped the bat. Gaylord was always a bootlegger at heart.

Today in 1983, George Brett is called out at Yankee Stadium after an upper deck homer off Goose Gossage when Billy Martin points out he (technically) has too much pine tar on his bat. As you may recall, this did not sit particularly well with George.

@BarstoolHubbs The trade for Gallo at age 27 was an excellent one, if he’d simply been the player he was - power, patience, excellent glove and arm. There was no reason to think he wouldn’t be that player. His collapse hurt the Yankees for several seasons.
English
Really doesn't get talked about enough how Joey Gallo forgot how to play baseball in the prime of his career. No scandals, no injuries, just total loss of ability to play the sport.
He's still only 32 years old and hasn't played a big league game since 2024.

@nyyankeesstats 2001 Mussina was so good. I remember 1 of those Candelaria sparklers in 1988. He was very good in his one Yankees season. The Candy Man can…the Candy Man can…

@GOPoversight @RepTimBurchett A question to ask her, as well as those like-minded, is whether she believes that nations belong to those who are indigenous to the land?
In other words, is she a blood and soil nationalist?

“Any category is defined as much by what it excludes as what it includes. If you make inclusion your god, then your words must necessarily lose all meaning. Language exists to carve reality into an inside and outside. If you ban the concept of outside, you ban thought.”

This is worth more focus: when I was trans and a progressive, embedded in those spaces, I saw firsthand how nothing could ever satisfy them. The level of psychopathology is infinite. Even if you endorse all the right positions, you probably didn’t endorse them in the right way. There was constant internal policing. Any time a lesbian said something referring to vaginas, it was exclusionary. Any time *another trans person* characterized the trans experience in terms of actually doing stuff (taking hormones, surgery, trying to pass) that was also exclusionary of people who didn’t do that stuff. Literally anything concrete was shouted down because it excluded someone. This is fundamental. Any category is defined as much by what it excludes as what it includes. If you make inclusion your god, then your words must necessarily lose all meaning. Language exists to carve reality into an inside and outside. If you ban the concept of outside, you ban thought.

People can’t seem to accept the rarity and value of good hitters in this environment. Look at the #s for Betts, Bregman, Tatis, Machado, Julio Rodriguez, Cal Raleigh. Sure it’d be nice if Jazz had last year’s 800+ OPS. But, even as he’s been this year, Jazz would be a very difficult player to replace. And that’s apart from his proven upside.

Imagine wanting to replace Jazz Chisholm with Luis Arraez in a lineup that’s without its two best power hitters?

“He (CS Lewis) saw that in the modern world human beings had been stripped of any intrinsic, necessary moral structure - stripped in other words, of those limits and ends that constituted their given nature. For Lewis, they were doomed to an existence that offered no real significance whatsoever…To deny limits and ends to human nature is to deny it any meaningful substance. Only an understanding of human nature as having moral limits and a moral end or telos could make life meaningful.” Carl Trueman, “The Desecration of Man.”

“ So put the ratchet down before it snaps. Christians should need that reminder least of all. Our assignment was never to be based. It was to be faithful, to take courage, to tell the truth, to do good, and to leave the results with God.”

Helpful article, making clarifying and historical distinctions, pertaining to contemporary Church and State discussions.
“This is one reason the current debate can become confused. If liberty means the unconstrained liberty of Paine and the French Revolution, then Christians should be profoundly critical of it. But if we are speaking instead of ordered liberty, constitutional restraint, religious liberty, due process, institutional pluralism, and the moral formation required for self-government, then we are speaking of something much closer to the Anglo-American tradition that shaped American Presbyterianism.”

There have been 4 major revolutions in the past 250 years: American, French, Russian, and Chinese. Only one led to individual rights and prosperity. The others led to mass death and tyranny. The US revolution was unique because it said two things: 1. Our rights come from God not from the govt. 2. Humans are power -hungry so we need to limit govt power. So the next time someone attacks the nation of one revolution that succeeded and recycles the the idea of those that miserably failed, you can ask them: are you ignorant, or malicious?

@rationalyankee The problem is Oswaldo.
Oswaldo came up in 2022 and briefly gave us some good vibes, while the team was struggling.
Though he’s apparently a good guy everyone likes, Oswaldo is in no way a MLB caliber player either as a hitter or fielder. He shouldn’t be on any MLB roster.

At first I was a little upset about this, but when you look at Goldschmidt’s numbers vs RHP they’re pretty bad.
71 wRC+, 23.8 K% and .171 ISO.
His role is to hit LHP. He doesn’t hit RHP well and there’s no way to say he’d have done any better than Cabrera.
The reality is that Cabrera just needed to have a better at bat. He had a chance to put the ball in play and did not.
Chris Kirschner@ChrisKirschner
Paul Goldschmidt was available off the bench. Had confidence in Cabrera to get the job done there.
