Instead, the skipper should blame his island’s vile, odious political elite—starting with San Juan’s depraved leftist mayor. He was allegedly instrumental in arranging “for a video room technician to install a monitor displaying the center-field camera feed immediately outside of the Astros dugout.” Select players and coaches then watched the monitors to steal signs from opposing catchers. ), Cora the Clown – Red Sox manager is lying about Trump and Puerto Ric. Instead of neglecting Puerto Rico, Trump has showered the island with federal aid. A day after Cora's comments, President Trump tweeted about the island Monday, saying, "Puerto Rico has been given more money by Congress for Hurricane Disaster Relief, 91 Billion Dollars, than any State in the history of the U.S." However, a recent study found the federal government's response to hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the mainland was faster and more "generous" — in terms of resources and funds — than its assistance to Puerto Rico. It may ingratiate him with the liberals in Massachusetts and the Democratic media. Alex Cora used the tragedy of Hurricane Maria hitting his homeland of Puerto Rico as a pretense for not meeting with Trump after the World Series victory by the Red Sox. As it turns out, Alex Cora was not only the bench coach for the Houston Astros at that time. After the hurricane ravaged the island, the countless water bottles supplied by the federal government were stolen. Rather, it is to unify and boost team morale and spirit. He is not just a pathetic whiner, but an ingrate. Trump has given billions of tax dollars in aid to Puerto Rico. According to the Associated Press, Cora said he informed the Red Sox of his decision a few days ago.

As locals will tell you, corruption, cronyism and bribery are rampant across the island. Had Cora gone to the White House to meet with President Trump as he should have, maybe he would have learned that the innocent men, women and children in his homeland have suffered terribly and tragically over the last several decades, mainly because of extensive and protracted corruption reaching into almost every city, town and government facility on the island. As it turned out, one of the ringleaders of the symbolic protest was Red Sox manager Alex Cora. I'd rather not go and be consistent with everything.". Cora had been mulling over the decision for months. Cora is now at the epicenter of one of the largest and most disgraceful cheating scandals in Major League Baseball history.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora should be ashamed of himself. No wonder Sen. Elizabeth Warren praised Cora’s decision, saying she “admires” him. To commemorate their great victory and show respect for the office of the presidency—regardless of the current occupant—and homage to the very country that has given them the opportunity to achieve their dreams. In an earlier statement obtained by Puerto Rican newspaper, El Nuevo Dia, he said that it's a "personal decision" and it doesn't reflect the rest of organization's views. Echoing the leftist line of the local Puerto Rican media, Cora blames Trump for the island’s post-hurricane troubles. CBS Boston reports players Xander Bogaerts, David Price, Mookie Betts and Rafael Devers have already said they will not go to the White House either. For example, when the Red Sox visited George W. Bush to honor their first World Series win in nearly a century, many of the players certainly didn’t vote for him or support the Iraq war. (You can unsubscribe anytime. Puerto Rico is a welfare subsidy of the U.S.. Another example of the American culture of entitlement. I would surely buy one.

Kuhner   President Trump is on a roll. Slap some new paint on a 107 year old park and charge the highest prices in baseball. His decision not to visit the White House to celebrate the team’s World Series championship is disgraceful, puerile and insulting. The Yawkey Foundation has donated over $500 million to Boston Area charities. As the only mass-distributed, non-liberal newspaper in New England, we strive to give voice to the opinions and actions of those who typically get ignored or marginalized by the liberal press. The easy thing—the politically correct thing—to do is to stick it to Trump and enlist in the so-called resistance. It was once commonly understood that when professional teams visited the White House to celebrate championship victories it was not an endorsement of the president or his policies. All because an MLB investigation determined that the Astros cheated by using a camera-based sign-stealing system during the regular season and World Series-winning 2017 season. The island hasn’t recovered due to Trump’s negligence or alleged indifference—or worse, “racism” as claimed by the radical left; rather, it is because of local graft, incompetence and fraud. They deserve the truth. By not going, Cora has slapped his team, Red Sox fans and America in the face. Hence, Cora says, he would not “feel comfortable” meeting the president at the White House. What happens if the president doesn't accept the election results? Cora the Clown Red Sox manager is lying about Trump and Puerto Rico.

Now, Cora has been fired. It’s a sign-stealing cheating scandal that began when Cora was with the Houston Astros. Election Day could turn into "Election Week" with rise in mail ballots.

The manager’s job is not to sow chaos and disarray. Alex Cora used the tragedy of Hurricane Maria hitting his homeland of Puerto Rico as a pretense for not meeting with Trump after the World Series victory by the Red Sox. Douglas MacKinnon, a political and communications consultant, was a writer in the White House for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Instead, he decided to pompously and foolishly morph into the personification of the spoiled brat taking his bat and ball and stomping home. Hopefully, he will now be wise enough to use some of it to reach out to Trump to not only apologize for disrespecting him, but to ask how they might now work together for the greater good of the people of Puerto Rico. He maintained that he was upset that the president dared to dispute some of the death-toll numbers being put out by certain Puerto Rican officials. Cora is the first manager or coach of a professional sports team to not attend the White House while many of his players do. Prior to the Boston Red Sox’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park, manager Alex Cora, a Puerto Rico native, responded to Trump’s insensitive tweets. So why did they go? He is making a political statement: Down with Trump. I’m still waiting for Red Sox owner John Henry to match the $500 million in charity that the Yawkey Foundation has given to Massachusetts.
