THEME: first two words of a phrase are opposites [but it's covert and I suspect most will miss it]
GOOD ONES: Cellar dweller? WINE [not the Orioles]
Class struggle? TEST [maybe in mathematics and science as arts classes are a laugh]
Short stop PAUSE [not Derek Jeter, shortstop for 20 years]
No more stars, to astronomers ANAGRAM ["no more stars" have the exact letters as "astronomers"; but the clue really should have "for" instead of "to"]
Lots and lots ACRES [true both ways: ACRES can mean "lots" and be comprised of "lots"]
"Uh-uh" and "Uh-huh!" clued by NOPE and YEP, respectuvely; and
it fits the theme of opposites. BTW: Sign appealing to short people? ATM INSIDE [in the context of money, "short" suggests unable to pay; using an ATM does not mean one is unable to pay or that one uses an ATM because one is unable to pay.
Big bang cause TNT [many physicists believe the Big Bang caused the universe; as far as I know, they don't have a theory on what caused the Big Bang]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
The rating for a Thanksgiving Day puzzle would be ZERO. However, it is a desideratum of the Left to eschew American tradition, and in this the LAT is doing its "small" part. , anyway.
