The headline in the New York Daily News this week was: “Mayor Race is Heating Up”! Considering that I just recently expressed astonishment over the civility of the campaign thus far, I have been waiting for the heated attacks to begin! Tim Balk writes: “Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa are…

I’m shocked. Shocked. The Yanks and Tampa Bay were 0-0 in the bottom of the ninth and Aaron Judge drove in his 98th RBI, as Tyler Wade scored. Yanks win, 1-0. Fine pitching and clutch defense (like Gio Urshela holding onto a catch that sent him tumbling into the Toronto…
