I think he can just make it. Here's how. First, step on a vacant seat (not yet occupied; ask to board early). Place second foot on armrest. Next, and this could be tough, while placing hands on overhead rim, lift foot from seat to top of back rest, push off it and pull self in. Mission accomplished.

OK, choosing between Phils and Mets he went for the money, arguably. Though he might think Mets are on the rise, Phillies on decline, it's possible, though I don't necessarily agree.
But do you know something about Jays I don't?; who jilted, who was jilted in that situation?

Presumably no fine for the teammate who was standing next to him in the postgame interview going on at painful length about how his God was a Texans fan, or something.
No mention was made of the eyeblack message, of course.

I was shocked and disappointed by her lightning-quick (lawyer-written?) nose-wrinkling. He seemed to make a pretty fair moral summary of Miller's argument that might makes right, if you can't defend yourself, you're fair game.

He was an ally of Hitler's by treaty, sort of, and then he wasn't. Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (1939).

And Mystal's point is that there is a very good chance any Trump successor will also find ICE useful. So if any Democrat refuses to promise (or let's say fight) to abolish ICE, GTFO.

This level of empathy and all-around awareness coming from Saint Clayton's Dodgerland is truly remarkable. As far as I can tell, you are a wonderful person, Molly Knight; best wishes always.

Mets infielders better start practicing getting their throws all the way to first without Pete to save them with his beautiful stretch and scoops, whoever they put at first (god forbid it's Vientos)
