And for the record: the NY Herald, begun in 1835 and for years the most popular paper in NYC, was merged with the NY Tribune in March, 1924.
Free bonus information: the paper's second owner, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., gave us one of the city's most famous ballparks. In 1877, he was forced to leave the city after he showed up at his fiancée's house for a party so drunk that he urinated into a fireplace (some claimed it was a grand piano, though by that point, Gordon Bennett probably had trouble telling the difference).
Any-hoo, Bennett had organized the very first polo match in the US of A, and had to abandon his private polo field, then located just off the northeast corner of Central Park. For years, Bennett looked in vein for a tenant for his Polo Grounds, finding one only in 1883, when a brand new ballteam known as the Gothams took up residence.
Dodgers third baseman blew the play whilst he was mic'd up and being interviewed (in fact he was just asked a meaningful question just as the ball was smoked right at him)
That clown who posted the incorrect Soto update is RobReinhart @RealRobReinhart His Twitter (sorry, “x”) does indeed say that he has worked at the New York Herald since…2024, and also at SInow and Bleacher Report. I am heading over there now to excoriate this simian as only I can. Got 3 twitter suspensions under my belt and would love to get a golden sombrero. ¡olé!

Looks like Boone has begun the Bad Bullpen Decisions part of the game.
ReplyDeletea bullpen move that actually worked
ReplyDeletewho wood have guessed
Even a blind squirrel...
ReplyDelete(didn't mean to contradict you, JM)
ReplyDelete(did like how the dugout reacted on that SHO ground out)
(dj appeared to have nuthin')
I've never seen a blind squirrel
ReplyDeletehate the ump-cam - they should at least have the darn thing mounted on a gimbal to steady it out a bit
ReplyDeleteN I C E ! ! ! !
ReplyDeletegood jawb Michael!!!
Not Turd Ferguson!
ReplyDeleteDamn I miss Soto
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Giancarlo. You useless turd.
ReplyDeleteThought he had the hr tbh
ReplyDeleteThat was one pathetic AB, DJ.
ReplyDeleteFlock
ReplyDeleteFuck. Too many innings for Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteAnd now.... Santana! We've given up.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope against hope and pray 🙏 we don't have to rely on Glassman.
ReplyDeleteThis business of starting a runner on second base is some little league bullshit.
ReplyDeleteSeligball (tm)
ReplyDeleteJust release Glassman
ReplyDeleteWe missed Soto badly.
ReplyDeleteRizzo is looking done. It's sad. DJ maybe, too.
ReplyDeleteThis business of playing Giancarlo is some little league bullshit
ReplyDeleteMikey= Mr Unclutch.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that we can beat neither Baltimore nor LA.
ReplyDelete☹️
ReplyDeleteRizzo batting .123 over his last 15 games. ‘nuff said,
ReplyDeleteWE ARE ALL FAT TOADZ
ReplyDeleteSo with Soto out, our 4-7 guys went 0-17 with 6 Ks and 1 DP.
ReplyDeleteTorres notches his 9th error of the year; on a pace for 22.
And hey, The Admiral is looking pretty good. Glad we decided not to go all out after him.
Everything in free fall, all of a sudden. Or was it that we just ran out of tomato cans?
Yamamoto's shaky start this season was amusing, but you just knew he would right the ship in time to reward the Yankees for their parsimony.
