Aaron Judge, Nestor Cortes provide injury updates, varying levels of optimism

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:52:24 GMT

LOS ANGELES — When Aaron Judge approached his locker following the Yankees’ Sunday night win over the Dodgers, he did so without a hitch or a limp.The slugger missed Sunday’s game after banging his right big toe while making a sensational Saturday catch, but he spoke to reporters anyway. As Judge did so, he stood tall in slide sandals and socks. If there was any extra protection or padding under his right sock, it was not apparent.Judge said that not playing on Sunday was “precautionary.” Still, he seemed resigned to the possibility of landing on the injured list.“I really don’t care at this point,” said a player who almost always insists he’s fine, even when he’s not. “If I’m on it, I’m on it. I’m trying not to be, but I got no answer yet. I’m hoping today and tomorrow, having a little bit of rest, it’ll be good to go hopefully on Tuesday. We’ll take it day-to-day right now.”...

Commentary: Biden administration abusing immigration ‘parole’

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:52:24 GMT

\”Monopoly money” is a term for useless paper notes. Inflation was so bad in 1930s Weimar Germany, it took literal wheelbarrows of cash to buy groceries. In Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, inflation at one point reached 79,600,000,000% per month; the price of your meal would change during dinner.Today, Zimbabwe’s 10 trillion dollar note is available on eBay for $69.99. But there’s one piece of paper that’s worth even less: the affidavit of support used in U.S. immigration.To bring foreign relatives over permanently, American citizens must file immigrant visa petitions for them. An affidavit of support is required as part of the application process. Something similar is now being used for the fictitious “lawful pathways” the Biden administration has invented.President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has been abusing a limited immigration power called “parole” to bypass the legal system, bringing in tens of thousands of foreigners a month. If this sounds sketchy, it ...

Yankees beat Dodgers with help from small ball and German before Volpe’s homer; Judge, Cortes may miss more time

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:52:24 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Anthony Volpe’s two-run homer in the ninth put a dagger in the Dodgers, but the Yankees also needed some small ball to win Sunday’s rubber match, 4-1.The first run of the game would not have been possible without a well-placed Isiah Kiner-Falefa bunt and an inexplicable, off-balance throw from Dodgers reliever Brusdar Graterol, who fired to an uncovered first base. The ill-advised decision gave the Yankees runners on second and third with one out in the seventh, and Jake Bauers proceeded to score on a broken bat groundout from Kyle Higashioka.J.D. Martinez answered back with a solo home run off Domingo German in the bottom of the seventh, but the Yankees responded in the eighth with a walk from Anthony Rizzo and a double from Giancarlo Stanton. The recently demoted and promoted Oswaldo Cabrera then brought the game-winning run home with a soft groundball to the first base side of the mound.“Good job by the base runners there and good job not hit...
