The Red Sox hitters remembered one of my favorite sayings - the team that wins is the one that steps on home plate the most times. They hit the ball to parts of the field where there were no Braves defensive players and they managed to step on home plate more than the Braves did.
In the end, the Red Sox won the game 5-2, splitting the series with the Braves and moving back into third place in the ALEast.
They are off today and tomorrow they start a three-game series against the Cardinals.
Tonight at midnight, the order known as "Title 42" will expire and the U.S. Border Patrol will no longer be authorized to immediately send migrants back across the border. Instead, the old rule known as "Title 8" will go back into effect and anyone who makes it across the border will be given the opportunity to explain why they crossed into the U.S.
Now on the surface, this looks like no big deal. The only difference is they get to ask for asylum and explain why they deserve it. Right?
Yes, that is true, but that's not the major difference.
The big difference is that under Title 42, there was no penalty associated with crossing the border. The Border Patrol would send them back into Mexico and they could turn around and cross the border again. And again. And again...
Under Title 8, anyone crossing the border without cause is subject to an expedited removal from the U.S. and is not allowed to seek asylum for at least five years.
So basically, all this news about this change is hysteria & hyperbole and it's driving migrants to suddenly storm the border for fear of facing the penalties under Title 8.
Once again, I feel compelled to state that the media should shut up.
Oh, and one other thing. If you ever wonder why the cost of lettuce or strawberries or new home construction has skyrocketed, it's because we no longer have a large pool of "undocumented workers" available to work for low wages.
Let's face it, there aren't any Americans willing to pick crops or swing a hammer for minimum wage.
Why is this person allowed to govern? She can't put a coherent sentence together but she's allowed to make decisions that effect all of us? How is that right?
Then again, we had Trump in office for four years and we managed to survive his insanity so I guess it really doesn't matter.
I need to find some entertainment for this evening. Maybe I'll watch the Rays / Yankees game. I'd like to see the Yankees win and knock the Rays down a peg.
