Are Mets fans for the Dodgers, the Braves or just indifferent? And why? #Mets #LGM #MetsSky

Jack Smith smiling at a concert. It was said he was congenial and happy to be with the crowd. I have never seen him smile.

On this day in 1999, Al Leiter threw a complete game two-hit shutout on 135 pitches to give the Mets a 5-0 win over the Reds in the one-game playoff, sending the Mets into the playoffs for the first time in 11 years.

As a New York Baseball Giants fan, today is a historic anniversary. Also, by some miracle the Giants swept the 1954 World Series against the mighty Cleveland Indians. When the Giants said they were leaving New York, my heart was broken for the first and worst time of my life. #Mets #LGM #MetsSky

To recap: There are the Hawks, Hawkeyes, Seahawks, Blackhawks, RedHawks and Jayhawks. All different teams. In case it comes up, there are Cardinals in both Arizona and St. Louis. Not to be confused with the Stanford Cardinal, which is in California. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter (well worth the subscription price) has the reason Fox fired Maria Bartiromo. Darcy says Fox bosses ordered staff in writing not to amplify Trump’s voter fraud lies in his July 16 prime-time speech. She tipped off the White House, showing them Fox’s order to staff.
It's unclear whether Trump or someone at the White House inquired with Bartiromo about the lack of coverage. But ultimately Bartiromo spilled the secret, Status has learned, divulging to the White House that Trump’s speech had received scant coverage on the channel because network bosses had ordered it so. I'm even told the text message in which Fox News brass offered their guidance was shared by Bartiromo with the White House. In doing so, Bartiromo not only effectively betrayed her employer, but also disclosed confidential company information, violating the terms of her employment agreement.
