So the little visit by ICE or border patrol or whoever those masked men were worked?
Damn, cancel all those "today we are all Dodger fans" parties.

As we have seen, the risk to you, the protesters, and even the cops was not zero going in, so thanks again.

Thanks for digging in on these issues.

Time to out the politics of Dodger ownership? Does Magic have any influence? Or were they just too involved in the Lakers acquisition to notice what's going on around their own stadium?

I like Todd Zeile but I don't care about anybody's "analysis" using props of anybody's swing. The worst offender is the MLB channel, which I watch a lot despite a lot of stuff. They could lose the fake ball field and all the balls and bats and improve 100 percent in my opinion.

Long ago and far away my then girlfriend gave me this album and wrote on it, You don't need a penny just to hang around.
She really got me.
Yes, if there was a good part of the baby dictator wannabe's birthday parade, this was it.

Dodgers hitter Kiké Hernández: “I am saddened and infuriated by what’s happening in our country and our city,” he said. “I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.”

Have I ever used caps-lock? Yes. It felt so lazy and childish and totalitarian. Fast, slick, ambidextrous pinky-finger athleticism is the real me.

Boy was I wrong about needing more pitching! The Mets are really good.

I apologize. I can see everyone's point; yes, it sounds condescending; I respect your credentials, and may have misunderstood your point. But I'm still gonna try to stop nihilists and possible police/ICE plants from hijacking protests; I've seen too many I've been in weaponized by the right.

You may not know because history is slow and obscure sometimes but when US protests have turned violent, it often later emerged that the instigators from the protester side were provocateurs, plants, saboteurs. That's a good reason why some protesters try to restrain violent actors among them.

A point that newsmedia and people who are (quite rightly) urging disciplined nonviolence have not yet brought up: history shows that when US protests have turned violent, it often and maybe usually later emerged that the instigators from the protester side were provocateurs, plants, saboteurs.

I HATE stories about possible trades that don't give reporting or in its absence informed speculation about what BOTH sides might be looking for. Nothing here about Boston's top needs, let alone what San Diego might have to offer.

Yeah, OK, you're right as usual -- strike that: as always. BUT (yes, I have a but; please don't hurt me) in my editing days, I too often had to explain, as gently as I could, that no matter how hard they had worked to figure out they needed "whom" there, they were wrong. Not evil, but incorrect.

Not a blackout. Nimmo said it was over one shoulder, then when he looked back for the wall, it had sliced so sharply it was over other shoulder. He said he knew Freeman fly balls slice but this one sliced more. Mets manager and postgame guy Todd Zeile also talked about difficulty of Freddie slice.
