Besides the fact the Yankees are obscenely over paid, their new hideous stadium should never have been built especially with tax payer money and they can't even make the play-offs, where does their catcher Posada get off endorsing a mayor who pushes mass evictions unless Posada and the Yankee just don't care about New Yorkers that can't afford their tickets...they just want the tax payers money.
Columbia University has mass evicted an entire neighborhood Mahattanville abusing eminent domain although there are a few hold outs. Done in the East Village, Lower East Side, NYU, Cooper Union and even NY Law who doesn't have a campus in the EV have managed to pull off shady real estate deals with Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda Burden, the people's burden, aiding and abetting their greedy real estate magnate friends as more people are displaced and small businesses are closing in record number.
I have a Yankee baseball of faded signatures of the entire team with my favorite Yankee, other than Babe Ruth was captain and for over achievers you know I am talking about Thurman Munson.
Posada is willfully obtuse or ignorant or he just doesn't care about the mass evictions of long term community members, small businesses and the fact supermarkets are almost extinct under the greedy corrupt wheelings and dealings under Bloomberg who only now claims a bit of awareness of corrupt DOB inspectors but he sure didn't care he pushed a way too rapid tsunami of development that he knew would not be policed and was reckless in too many ways to count including the death tolls and injuries.
Bloomberg has the luck of the devil because the accidental governor -- I think he is the guy that used campaign money or tax payer money to pay for hotel trysts when having adulterous outings won't endorse Mike Bloomberg.
Again for voters who are dazzled by Mike's mega bucks and not willing to simply look at the damage done - the gov with the lowest popularity ratings refusing to endorse him is a win. I keep thinking of "Being There" except Mike is no dummy but he is no public servant either.
For over achievers -- it takes little to no brain power to guess how I feel about a pampered spoiled sports star obscenely over paid Jeter tieing any record of Gerhig's because baseball was not a pampered sport than and every technology edge that can be given to Jeter has been given to him. I don't believe he has used steroids but everything else possible to compete against athletes with no such edge which again makes you shake your head at Babe Ruth's achievements. Babe was a great pitcher but so loved by the people that they had him stop pitching so he could play every game.
I love noshing and so did Babe. His coaches had to take him aside and tell him no more stuffing his face in the dug out. How funny.
The new era is all about spin -- spinning stories -- phony public relations with little to no substance from City Hall to the new hideous Yankee Stadium where people most hurt by Bloomberg's community crushing tsunami can't afford a ticket. Nice going Posada.
Thurmon is my most favorite catcher ever!
