What an epic collapse

And it cost them the game

Lets go Knicks!

Fox is so bad. Capped by that move right there. You have the lead and you can run out the clock or just let them foul you. What does he do? Try to take the contested shot and get it blocked so NYK gets another shot to win it.

Considering Platner gets around just fine, the majority of his 100% rating has to come from his mental health. Based on the way VA math works, that would mean his mental health rating is almost certainly 70%. Any joint or back issues he has are obviously minor so they couldn't be more than 10% or maybe 20% at the most. Maybe he got a generous examiner and received 40% for a herniated disc but that still wouldn't get him to 100% without the 70% mental health rating. There is also the possibility that he is 100% based on Individual Unemployability but that would be a huge scandal as he would not be allowed to earn more than poverty level wages. I doubt he would be stupid enough to try and pull that one off since the VA collects employment data straight from Social Security.

Wow, that looked like a backcourt violation before the foul. Knicks got lucky I think.

For once Chris Illitch getting sympathy for spending too much.

Hope for the Mud Hens bullpen

Not really helping my argument there, Josh.

If there were anything wrong with his disability payment you have to believe that would have been blown out of the water already. But almost all the people that served in 'kinetic' combat have messed up hearing, joints, back or some level of PTSD and the system is designed to compensate them for those. It's not the same system as SS disability were you have to be not be able to work. My SIL was a career AF non-com, she qualified for substantial disability - in her case after a full 20. It has nothing - or at least little practically, to do with whether you are still able to work some 'normal' jobs - she was still doing hers when she retired. It's a compensation system for what you suffered and carry as a result of serving. "Disability" is a bit of misnomer as compared to what people think of in workplace disability. IIRC Platner's bio includes having been blown out of a vehicle by an IED. You're not likely to be completely whole again after that.

Yeah, I didn’t see that point in there. I don’t think serious mental issues constitute a barrier to public office anymore. That’s not what I would choose, but there it is.

Ah well. They made it interesting anyway.

Is there room in the car for Hanifee?

Yes, we don’t know.

OK, run in, tying run at first, winning run at the plate!

Dingler singles in a run, for whatever it's gonna matter.

I think you missed the point I was making. If he's deserving of his rating, that means he has some serious mental health issues. Is that really someone who should hold a position as a Senator?

We don't know how unfree and unfair it's going to be. I am not taking the leap that we are in a Russia-style dictatorship just yet.

Tying run to the plate in the ninth! That’s what you want in a ballgame.

Then that should cost him the election.

Being left-handed should help his case.

Then he’s lying about being a working class stiff who supports himself from his oyster farm. He’s getting nearly $5k. There’s certainly more there that will be exposed.

Because he's a lefty? His other outings were pretty good. But who goes down when Mize and Skubal activated.

The Twins are trying to but the Tigers keep swinging. 😆😆
