You're right about that and I should have stated as much. (This is what happens when I respond to messages before my morning coffee!) I also thought later that I should have added something about how Puerto Ricans consistently vote to maintain territorial status rather than gain independence or seek statehood, though this incident may change their feelings about that. So your point is a fair one.

By the way, I don't know if your New York fandom embraces the Yankees as well as the Mets, but if so, congrats and good luck in the playoffs. That Judge kid is amazing!
