Americans were sold "We caught you here illegally, we're sending you back to your home country." Instead we got a torture victim being deported to Africa. It is worse than you think. ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

Steve Kerr spot on as usual

Congratulations to new Mets coach Andy Green, you’ll probably last at least 12 months! #LGM

Even Howie Rose just hinted that with an off day tomorrow, he imagines the Mets will make a coaching move. That’s how bad it is. #LGM
