It took Curtis Sliwa about an hour and 20 minutes to vote for himself. Officials told Curtis he couldn’t wear his red “Sliwa for the Mayor” jacket or bring his cat to the polling station. To make matters worse, his ballot paper jammed the voting machine. While Sliwa isn’t sure his vote counted, Bobby Valentine may have voted for himself twice. The former Mets manager, who was running for mayor of Stamford, Connecticut, was escorted back 1 minute 20 seconds later wearing a fake mustache and sunglasses. Well played, Bobby…

Carlos Correa, Freddy Freeman’s free agent stories are different

mohmad free

HOUSTON – Freddy Freeman and Carlos Correa are heading toward free agency. After the Braves defeated the Astros 7-0 in Game Six of the World Series Tuesday night to win their first championship since 1995, it’s hard to imagine Freeman playing anywhere but Atlanta. It’s almost difficult to portray Correa again in Houston, given his post-match comments. When asked if he had in mind that his ninth song could be his last appearance with the Astros, Correa said, “The only thing on my mind, to be honest. Lots of feelings…

Max Fried’s determination reflects the character of the title-winning Braves

HOUSTON – Max Fried was the brave one. He wasn’t looking very good early on in Game 2, and two of the Game 6 hitters were on the floor – stunned, embarrassed and possibly injured. But these brave people and their players showed that they would get off the plate. They were five games under 0.500 in mid-June, losing their best player (Ronald Acuna Jr) of the season in early July, and they still haven’t clinched a tie-point seven days into August and losing four games in a row three…

The Braves locked down the Astros in Game 6 to win the World Championship

mohmad free

HOUSTON – The Braves were out of number one by six games in the NL East on July 28, didn’t get past 0.500 for good until August 8 and finished the regular season with just 88 wins. But on Tuesday, they ended a 26-year drought with their first World Championship title since 1995, clinching the championship with a 7-0 win over the Astros in Game 6 at Minute Maid Park. Jorge Soler delivered the biggest hit – a giant three-stroke Homer at the top of the third to open the…

The brave are well prepared after failing to close the World Championships

Houston – Pressure? What pressure? Instead of ending their first world championship in more than 25 years with a win in Atlanta on Sunday night, the Braves had to fly to Houston, where they will attempt to finish the series on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. Sunday night’s loss in Atlanta gave Houston some life, but according to Braves manager Brian Snitker, there’s no longer any pressure on his team. In fact, Snicker said, there is no pressure in the world championships. “The pressure is building,” Sneaker said in a…

Marwin Gonzalez broke the slump in time for the Astros

ATLANTA – When Marwin Gonzalez hit the plate as a fifth inning hitter on Sunday, it had been nearly a month since his last hit. The Astros utility factor was left out of the ALDS and ALCS roster, but activated in the World Championships in large part due to the need for bench depth in the National League stadium, where the DH was not in use. Gonzalez made a splash, with a one-two win against AJ Minter that put the Astros forever ahead in their 9-5 victory over the Braves…

Atlanta – Sure, I enjoy the whole bowler game as much as the next person…unless the next person is Old Mans Radburn. You know what else I enjoy? When teams defy conventional wisdom. When they don’t choose a particular strategic path just because others have relied on that path to reach the nirvana of baseball. The Braves failed to win the world championship Sunday night when the bulls erupted in a row like infrastructure bill for Joe Biden, as Atlanta’s five hams and eggs gave up an early lead and…

The Astros denied that a World Championship win for the Braves seemed inevitable

ATLANTA – As the ball left Braves quarterback Adam Duvall’s racket in the first half, there was a familiar rumbling noise of the possibility that turned into something else with the realization that the ball was on its way to clear the right field wall. Joy yes. But also the celebration. As if the party was hoping later in the evening among the 43,000 people in Trust Park, its start time has been pushed back. Duvall has played in the Grand Slam right now as Mike Tyson landed on New…

The Mets World Series dries up away from the worst of MLB: Sherman

Atlanta – It’s hard to win a world championship. You know that of course. This is why it is so precious. However, it is easy to forget. Because you became very passionate about your team. You hold onto huge expectations. You become very important when your team is not the last. We feel it in New York of course. But let’s look at the dodgers. They are the West Coast Yankees and the organization that Steve Cohen, upon taking over the Mets a year ago, declared he wanted to emulate.…
