@almostamet.bsky.social Credibility counts. I'm flabbergasted that in your newsletter you posted about April '22, you wrote that the worst GM in MLB history, Brodie Van Wagenen, was with the #Mets. He absolutely was NOT. Steve Cohen -- in a Nobel Prize-worthy move-- fired his sorry ass in Nov. '20.

This is insane. Federal agents have now arrested a second journalist who covered the protest at a Minneapolis church at which an ICE director is a pastor. First, former CNN anchor Don Lemon and now, Minneapolis TV reporter Georgia Fort. Freedom of the press is being removed before our very eyes.

This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. This is what Soviet bloc regimes and Asian, Latin American, and African dictatorships did in the Cold War -- arrest journalists on bogus charges for reporting the news. 🤡 and his administration are fascists. #resist

Really interesting piece on Bo Bichette likely batting behind Juan Soto. www.mlb.com/news/how-bo-...
Why move to Mets could unlock the best of Bichette
Bo Bichette has a new team, a new position and (likely) a new lineup spot. The question now is whether those changes will bring out an even more valuable version of the two-time All-Star than the one ...

Please raise your hand if you're joining me and millions of others in the U.S. tomorrow in a work and purchase strike in the #nationalshutdownday, to protest this regime's immigration policy and other abuses.

Hardly surprising that maga sent one of its most authentic representatives to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's town hall meeting last night in Minneapolis. No use in my insulting this man. His behavior speaks for itself, as do his priors.🙄

Two interviews as a Met and I already 🧡💙 Freddy Peralta. You will too, #Mets fans. Beyond the talent, what a smile. What charisma. Somehow, I don't think signing him to an extension will be too difficult. How could it be, when he says he always wanted to be one of us? youtu.be/DIYKxh8bPLo?...

What is happening to sports journalism? The @mlb.com website piece on Carlos Mendoza observing Bo Bichette taking reps at 3B omits a crucial detail: WHERE did Mendoza observe Bichette doing this activity? Only the @snytv.bsky.social story mentions it happened at #Mets Port St. Lucie facility.🤦🏿🤦🏿

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot before Keith, but nobody remembers him either. In fact, we're at like 40+ victims now. Sucks.

All should be remembered. All should receive justice.

Only 2 are protestors that were publicly executed for defending their neighbors & democracy & that's Renee & Alex.

Demoting ICE executioner Greg Bovino and possibly firing Kristi "Deportation Barbie" Noem and her toady Corey Lewandowski is nowhere near enough. Where is the justice for the three people -- Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti -- all shot dead by ICE agents, who haven't even been stood down?
