I'm not sure I said that proven good closers are available, but rather guys become good closers out of a sense of desperation all the time.

John Axford, a dreadful pitcher, had 46 saves one season.  Finding a closer shouldn't be that hard.

I think the Red Sox have a lot of very good arms in the bullpen and in the event of a total meltdown by Kimbrel they can find somebody else to handle that role.  I think the "traditional" closer role is probably the easiest role in baseball to fill on stop-gap basis.

On Sunday, Kid, because he knows things, and  in yet another attempt to show me wrong for expressing my problems with the trade, noted what was just an okay inning pitched by Britton against the Red Sox with a rhetorical question as to who that pitcher was. 

Is Kid going to ask the same question this morning?

Uh oh.

The Yankees have trimmed the lead down to 9 and they still have two games in hand!

1978.
Beat me to it.

Re:  the apartments and keeping certain people out - loooks like it was a business decision.    Trump always all business. - But if blacks were involved - you go play that victim card all day and all night.

Looks to whom?

Quote
Most of those interviewed said they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.

The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.

A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.

Just business decisions.

Does he have any dealings that would tell you he is not a racist?

Have you checked?

If you found YES to be the answer, would you simply dismiss it as "Trump doing what he needs to get ahead"?

If so - well - you are believing what you like - and that's that.
If a Klansman goes to work one day and engages in a relatively pleasant conversation with an African-American who comes into his store, does that make the Klasman not a racist?

The mere fact that these are positions (which, if you are ascribing all of them to the Democratic Party, are mischaracterized anyway) which you happen to disagree with does not make them "elitist."
