It's the same every yr. Once Hal made no changes after they missed the playoffs in '23, it became clear that HE is the problem. Opposite poison of his dad, who meddled TOO MUCH. Poor roster construction & management continue to plague the team. Both Boone & Cashman need to be fired. That's on Hal.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

When it is all said and done and we learn the full scope of Musk and Russia's interference, I wonder what we will find regarding whether Trump actually won. Water under the bridge at this point, but the whole thing seems like the most successful foreign influence operation ever. Historic treason

Everything that we are seeing from Trump, Vance, and others in MAGA seems to confirm that they are Russian assets deliberately weakening and destroying American institutions, influence and power. So, what next..? It is NOT OK, this is NOT America!

Exactly this. It’s honestly concerning that we’ve hit over 15,000 targets and aren’t seeing any real strategic value out of it. Iranian missiles are increasingly getting through Israeli air defenses. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, and we are preparing boots on the ground.

Yep - we are coming to the sad conclusion that skiing is no longer economically viable. The Ikon/Epic monopoly, arguably driven by climate change, is putting skiing out of reach for more and more families...

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Evidence continues to mount that the Yankees are doomed to mediocrity and frustrated fans for as long as Hal Steinbrenner is the owner. He should have fired Cashman a few years ago. They should have fired Boone a few years ago. The franchise is NOT making decisions that will win World Series

And yet, no changes at manager or GM. Expect more meh in 2026. Just good enough to make the playoffs, sell tickets and concessions, make Hal Steinbrenner a lot of $$ and please his bankers and bondholders. No World Series rings until Hal is bought out by a championship-focused ownership group

But who is responsible for failing to hold accountable the person who decides how you spend (Cashman), and the person who manages the team you spend on (Boone)..? When Boone and Cashman weren't fired after the 2023 season, it became clear that the problem is Hal being a terrible owner.

We can’t solve climate change without behavioral change. Maybe disruptions like this will force us to consider buying less stuff or shopping at Goodwill, which is one of the changes we need to make). (This is not an endorsement of anything that the Trump regime is doing)

I was a passionate life-long Yankees fan till they made no changes after the 2023 season. At that point, I realized the problem was Hal and nothing will change as long as he continues to own the team. Our dream has to be for a World Series-focused ownership group to make him an offer he cant refuse

So you’re saying that Cashman and Hal are the problem..? They ALL are and ultimately it’s Hal being bad at being Yankees owner that has us stuck with Cashman and Boone, both of whom should have been canned after the ‘23 season at the latest

And quite frankly, time for Cashman to go too. Long past time for fresh thinking at roster construction. ZERO championships since 2009 and ONE world series appearance is not a track record of success given the budget Cashman's had to work with. Who's your pick for new GM..?
