I don’t think Donald Trump should be president.

I don’t think the Mets should have fired Willie Randolph.

I don’t think Billy Joel needs to be performing every month at Madison Square Garden.

Now that the elections are over; now that the Mueller Investigation seems to be nearing a close; now that Jacob deGrom won the NL Cy Young Award—I have a new cause. And I’d like you to join me.

Anything.

But no pickles.
