Shane Gillis getting hit with the real ones 💔
His friend Ron (battling Stage 4 colon cancer) telling him he loves him and how proud he is — even if it’s the last time.
Shane trying to hold it together... then the sunglasses go on.
This is the side people don’t always see. Respect.

Jorge Posada: This Modern Baseball is Straight Garbage
All these numbers and fancy formulas…
The baseball being played these days is straight up garbage. You’re telling me a guy hitting 30 homers and batting .202 deserves $70 million? Is that even a ballplayer? In today’s game, you take 7 at bats and strikeout 5 times and still cash a massive contract.
Back in my day, if I was sitting near 100 strikeouts late in the season, I’d be right next to Jeter asking, “How many you got?” A couple days before the end, he’d say, “Jorge, you’re at 97.” I’d go up there swinging at the first or second pitch just so I wouldn’t reach 100.
Now? These guys strike out 300 times and nobody says a word. My on base percentage was close to .400. Those numbers? You barely even see them anymore.
How do you win games? By getting on base. You either drive them in or you score. That’s the type of player we were.

JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”
Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.
Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.
“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.
He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.
“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”
That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.
Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.
Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.
His message was simple:
The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx
i can't afford to bring my girls to a world cup game. yet all these fans from 3rd world countries are flying over, staying in jacked up priced hotels, and then spending $5k per ticket. are we all being told lies? is america poor af or is it just me?
Look, we'll never know the amount of people turned away, which I'm sure were thousands. And we are in a NEW WORLD with limitations of people and security measures.
But in terms of ticker tape and people from railings through the sidewalk, the Yankees and Giants had more there.
@ShaunMorash Earlier in the week they told us 7 million people would be there…once again pretending the Knicks are bigger than the Giants/Jets/Yankees/Mets
