Day 36

Fresh Start_36: Debate Night
Now I don’t normally talk about politics on this blog but considering it is election season and most of the country has their opinion, I might as well give my input. I am not in love with either candidate and I am in the same boat with many on this. I do think that there was clear winner and loser. I don’t think the election was won or lost on this debate alone, considering how much wasn’t talked about or brought up.  
The clear winner in my mind was Hilary Clinton, largely based on how she handled the way Trump reacted to some of the questions and responses. Clinton went extremely left which was much to my surprise, and that could be interesting for voters on the fence. The way she spoke about the economy and of course her emails, she was put in the driver seat and never looked back.
Trump on the other lost, but surprised me a lot in some and didn’t in others. The way Trump talked about the minorities in the country and how we need to fix it, was a really good point that I didn’t think he would bring up. Also with the way he attacked the trade deals and how bad they were set up. Those two arguments went really well for Trump and he got some punches in. But, again he didn’t win the fight.  Trump lost me last night in the ladder half of the debate when he brought up how Hilary Clinton has made fun of Trump and has spread lies about him. Well that was the point where I stood up and yelled at the TV. I hate to break it Donald Trump but that is what politics is, and quite frankly Trump has done the same to Hilary. The sword is double sided and if it gets under your skin well that will show and could cause weakness. Acting like a middle school girl during the most watched presidential debate is not a strong sign of the commander and chief. I am intrigued and extremely interested to see what the two other debates as well as the vice presidential debates.
*As always I need to stress how important it is to vote whether you love or hate the candidates in the running. Registering to vote doesn’t only make a difference for the leader of the country. It also shows in your hometown and how the politics are sorted out*

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
