be convicted. right. those are good things in his column. do you think there would be any downside here for president biden were hunter to be convicted? of course, as the personal toll, of course. do we think there is political im impact? yeah, there are low information voters who are like, they re both in trouble with the law. i would say hunter biden is very different than donald trump and being a crack addict because you have an addiction is very different than a myriad after criminal charges, many cases which you ve been able to punt. then you have the fraud cases. i don t think they re the same at all, but i do think, you know, everything can be a problem, especially in politics. certainly, those close to president biden worry about just how he will receive this news. we know he is deeply worried about his son. also, the first lady coming back from france to go to the trial. i mean, the sister has been there. everyone in biden world, they re a close family. i t
Judge are having as good a first half of a season together as teammates as any duo in the history of the game. it is amazing to watch. the yanks are playing 700 ball. they re playing at an elite level. they re still doing it without their best pitcher. i don t know what left forearm discomfort quite means. tommy john surgery, out for three years, sorry. no. this has been fun to watch. look, you have four, five great teams this year. you know, let the games continue. hopefully this isn t this isn t anything serious. watch him, judge, volpi. this is about as good as it gets as a yankee fan. it s been a long time, willie. i feel we ve been in the wilderness. this has been moses like. we ve been in the desert for long time, so this has been great to watch. people do not, richard, it turns out, like to hear yankee fans whine about not winning. we can, it s been 15 years since our last world series title. fun series this weekend starts
Look, one down, three to go. i m preaching caution. this celtics team, they have a ways to go. man. luka is still the best player in the series. gene, wouldn t be a boston without cynicism about a 20-point win in game one. pessimism. you know, the celtics have a track record here, and they do blow game twos. let s see what happens. if you guys had stayed up one more quarter, which i did, unfortunately, because it s really early in the morning now. yeah. if you d watched the third quarter, you saw a spurt in which the mavericks sort of showed why they were there. i mean, they got to within eight points. i never thought they d win the game, and the celtics looked unbeatable last night, but i think you might see a different kyrie in the next game. i think you might see a different luka in the next game. i think it ll be a lot closer than this one was. i think celtics will win, but
We ll see. willie, you missed the lead of the story, how the ex-knick put the celtics on top. happy to have him. man, and on defense, too, blocked a bunch of shots. played well. a flurry in the first half. they look great. we ll see if our resident pessimist is right about game two on sunday night. major league baseball, richard, in the bronx, the new york yankees continued their dominance of the minnesota twins, completing a season sweep with an 8-5 victory last night. it s the yankees eighth consecutive win overall. yankees, though, may have suffered a significant loss in that victory. star slugger juan soto left the game with left forearm discomfort, as it was described, after an hour-long rain delay before the sixth inning. he is expected to undergo imaging today. not yet clear if soto will need to miss time. sounds, richard, like this has been bugging him for a couple weeks. they decided not to bring him back after the rain delay. hopefully it s not a larger problem b
Boston s jaylen brown with a huge dunk between defenders in the second quarter. good for two of his team-high 22 points as the celtics run the dallas mavericks out of the building in game one of the nba finals. boy, did they look good last night. the celtics led by as many as 29 points in the first half with six players scoring in double digits. that includes kristaps porzingis, who put up 20 points off the bench in a strong return to the court after more than a month on the sideline with a calf injury. it was a rough outing for mavs star, former celtic kyrie irving, booed every time he touched the ball. he had 12 points. the boston crowd booed him from the introduction. as i said, every time the ball touched his hands. celtics win the series opener, 107-89. game two is sunday night in boston. john, you and i both watched the first half of last night s game. my goodness, did the celtics look good. sometimes you ask, okay, they
