Right now, it's in that awful "Game about to start" loop, so we'll see. Hope I can choose #Mets audio. #LGM
- Reposted by Jeffrey AltmanAnother great home win, with over 41,000 fans in attendance. Last night Mets bats made Citi Field look small. Lindor leads off with home run, and Baty, McNeil and Soto hit laser shots for homers. Solid 6 innings again from Holmes, and Reid Garrett continues to be key player out of bullpen #LGM #Mets

- Reposted by Jeffrey AltmanGiven the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
