40% of the country agrees with Trump’s assertion that “‘Progressive’ Democratic Congresswomen” should “go back” to their countries.
Three of the four were born in America. The other did not come from “her country,” but from a refugee camp in Kenya where her family had to live for four years when she was a child.
40%!
Five years ago I would have guessed that 5-10% of Americans would support a statement like this, which is not only racist, but stupid. (Exactly which country should they go back to?)
40% !
I probably disagree with more than half of the positions Ilhan Omar has taken, and strongly disagree with some of them, but she’s an American, she certainly has the right to those positions, and she was elected by people who knew her positions and sent her to Washington to further them.
Not the mountains. The baseball team.
Colorado has always been known for outrageous home/road splits. For a while there, the Rockies management took some action to make their stadium a more “normal” environment. The kept the balls in a humidor and they moved back some fences, and god knows what else.
Well, whatever they are doing, it isn’t enough. Or maybe they gave up. Whatever the reason, the home/road split is now worse than ever.
As of this moment, the Rockies have created the perfect storm. They are FIRST in the majors in home OPS, and LAST in road OPS. As a team, they bat .307 at home, .223 on the road. Charlie Blackmon is batting .415 at home with 16 homers, .237 on the road with five homers. Because of his home stats, he’s competing for the batting championship.
Their pitchers have a 6.75 ERA at home. I didn’t type that wrong. That’s the real number.
Gee. I wonder why they can never seem to sign any top pitchers to start half of their games in Colorado.
