I don’t understand the coaching staff with the pitchers this year. Leahy clearly struggling from the start. 30 pitches on the inning and hasn’t been talked to once.

25 years ago this morning, I was packing for my first trip as a pilot for American Airlines when Suzi came in and told me an airplane had hit the World Trade Center.
I assumed a small airplane, bad weather. Then I turned on the television.
Crystal clear morning in New York. I stood there holding my young son Matthew, going through my mental aviation checklist on how this could've happned... and the second airplane hit.
I knew we were under attack.
Flight suit. Boots. Raced out to Naval Air Station Fort Worth. Through the gate before the base went to Threat Condition Delta.
I was supposed to spend that day flying Americans to Miami.
I spent it strapped into an armed and running F/A-18 Hornet at the end of a runway, prepared to shoot one down.
Gruff and I waited while the Spads of the 457th FS got airborne, scheduled to launch when they ran out of gas. By the time the did, all air traffic was on the ground.
2,977 innocent people were murdered by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists.
Souls jumped from the towers, because falling through a clear September sky was better than burning alive.
First responders climbed up while thousands ran down.
Father Judge, a Catholic priest and FDNY chaplain, walked into hell to pray over the dying and became one of its victims. They carried him out and laid him on an altar.
25 years later, Americans are still dying from what they breathed at Ground Zero. Veterans still carry the wounds you can see and the ones you can't.
This country has forgotten why.
NYC elected an avowed anti-American immigrant Muslim socialist as mayor. Michigan's nominee for senate closed his campaign beside a man who said America 'deserved 9/11' and that we brought it on ourselves.
People running for office in a country they hate.
We raised a generation to be ashamed of this great country. They will not defend it. And a generation that will not defend a country will eventually accept whatever replaces it.
I am for religious freedom. I spent 15 years defending the document that guarantees it, I started my own church.
But the moment your religion leaves its lane and comes into mine - the moment it claims the right to kill me for not believing what you believe - it is not a faith anymore. It is a political system with a body count. Its own law. Its own courts. Its own mandates on what women can and can't do.
Ask a girl in Kabul about her schooling, ask a Christian in Saudi Arabia where his church is. There isn't one in the whole country. 15 of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
We let them build here. They do not let us build there. That is not tolerance, it's an invasion.
Europe has fallen.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Contrary to what the pope thinks, there is such a thing as a 'just war'. This is it.
25 years ago this morning I sat at the end of a runway in a loaded fighter, waiting for an order I prayed would never come.
Many said we would never forget. They did.
I never will.
Fight's On.

Joshua Báez has rare power and took the first big league pitch he saw nearly 450 feet to dead center. He’s going to be a a real problem. With JJ Wetherholt, Jordan Walker, Alec Burleson and Iván Herrera already, Cardinals have the makings of something good
Why didn’t Crooks or Dusty Blake have a chat with Mathew’s sooner to settle him down. He’s got good stuff but clearly rattled after the lead off walk. @Cardinals
I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
Feel free to copy and paste. I did.
Time for our government to wake up you either work with and for America or get the hell out .. we're tired of paying taxes and you incredibly selfish people don't give a damn for the people you work for... you should all be ashamed of yourself !!!!
🚨 AWESOME! In the face of leftist threats, viral German World Cup fan Freddy is GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE, per envoy Nick Adams
Great news! 🇺🇸🇩🇪
Freddy is headed to the WEST WING 🔥
“Despite the hateful and angry radical Left's vicious attempts to doxx Freddy, launch personal attacks, and intimidate him into submission, ultimately forcing him to delete his social media accounts to protect his peace and safety, the West Wing visit will still take place.”
“Freddy's only "crime" was loving America and documenting his travels in a completely non-partisan way. This is what they do. They try to scare and silence anyone who doesn't conform.”
“As the Special Presidential Envoy for Tourism, I am proud that Freddy enjoyed his trip here. I refused to let the radical left turn something positive for our country into another victory for their politics of hate.
In the true spirit of 250, I lifted Freddy up and made sure their mob tactics would not win.”
“The visit will go ahead as planned.”
