    I wish baseball teams were more willing to trade pieces this early in the season. There is no one in the division in our way and we have a ton of ammo to make some nice moves.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I'm encouraged, but I'm far from sold on this group. I'm sold on Berrios though - he's a Game 1 playoff starter.
  3. TheLeviathan
    That was a heart wrenching article to read, I give Rich Hill a ton of credit for his willingness to be public with his grief.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Politically speaking, I encourage the Republicans to undertake more stupid campaigns like this.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Definitely. That slaughter, without seeing it, was an early let down.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Didn’t we hear that the biggest challenge of the battle of the bastards was the horses? Maybe I’m misremembering....

    This show has done so many amazing things that I think people forget it’s still a TV show with a TV budget. That makes a lot of things, especially fantasy elements, very difficult.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Electability should not be the primary concern. It should, however, concern people. We're past the point of moral victories. With the Republicans there are either victories or we're all screwed. Winning is what matters, be that however we get there.
  9. TheLeviathan
    I chalk at least some of the battle prep to them having to rush through it. Nothing explains the death of the Dothraki other than budget concerns...

    We've done just fine against Houston. I think people are drawing far too many conclusions, too soon, about where this team ranks with others in the AL. And, frankly, it should be irrelevant. If this team is competing it's clear where they can do the most upgrading and that's pretty much anybody who throws a baseball to a catcher. The Twins have the ammo and the finances to be aggressive. One or two big adds to pair with this lineup could make them a real force to be reckoned with.
  11. TheLeviathan
    I'm just happy the days of using two different baseballs is over. That never made any sense to me.
  12. TheLeviathan
    It shouldn't shock anyone that this is a pissing contest about who "should" have pursued obstruction. That's also why this is going to be something that riles us all up but is likely of little actual consequence.

    Sometimes you hit a buzzsaw. It happens, get 'em tomorrow.

    Plus....Biden's problem is he sometimes sounds like an idiot? ewen...have you heard Trump? I talk to pre-schoolers with a better command of the english language.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Honestly, I think that's because Rudolph has been force fed to the detriment of the offense. But i'm also very anti-Rudolph.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Absolutely. No one should anoint Biden today, only recognize a few of the factors that do make him more popular at this moment. And the strengths he brings regardless. You shouldn't have to love a candidate to see the strengths they bring to an election. The lesson of 2016 was not about policy, it was about the danger of electing someone whose very name is toxic to a significant (and key) part of the voting demographic. The same may be true of Biden, but there are two things to take away from Smerf's comment above: 1) Biden is popular with the voters most reliable to go to the ballot box 2) Biden is popular with the voters who are possible swing voters in swing states Given the margin of error in 2016, those two strengths should not be ignored or underplayed. Now we'll see if he can do more than that or if someone else will offer more electability.
  17. TheLeviathan
    That helps. I guess what I see Smith offering is a player who can do more to take advantage of the attention Thielen and Diggs get. Rudolph cannot separate, cannot run after the catch, etc. That limits what you can do with him in the first place. Smith offers upside to justify more usage. The Chiefs do a great job feeding a lot of mouths and feeding the defense whatever poison it chooses. (You can't stop everyone) The Vikings, with Cook, Smith, Diggs, and Thielen offers a much harder team to defend.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I can't love this enough.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Everything you say is a valid point. I still pick up the phone and try,
  20. TheLeviathan
    Trump literally won on nothing more than racism and "Not Hillary" It marvels me how much people over-estimate the thought voters put into voting.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Sure, but TEs used to just be 6th offensive linemen. Shannon Sharpe, one of the best ever, averaged 65-70 catches a year. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem right ot me that TE usage has gone down as receivers.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I put the whole pitching staff at 70 personally. I'd be on the phone right now seeing what San Fran wants for MadBum and Dyson. I'll take both or either.
  23. TheLeviathan
    What Biden does is make sure you don't lose voters. And you get some back from Trump. I liked this article and a number of the links connected to it because it lays out the pros and cons pretty well. We're going to find out his appeal in the primaries and if there are red flags than he should be dismissed. What I fear is that there is a vocal part of the left that is ignoring data and evidence of what's best to beat Trump to dismiss him before we find out. I want the primaries to be a beta test on Warren, Sanders, Biden, Harris, etc. I just hope people listen to the voters.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I was looking after your comment and Lewis isn't alone. Tucker and Senzel are struggling too. It's probably Rodgers for Colorado. He's raking in AAA and was 10th on MLB's top 100. Wander Franco has superstar written all over him too it seems.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I'm with you that he's targeting the right people to win. He may just be doing that too soon. You still have to win the primary, but it's good to sow your oats in the places that matter most too. The idea that policy matters to people is just poppycock. Trump didn't have a single discernible "policy" and he won election. Hell, I don't remember Obama running on specific policies either. Running on specifics of your policies is walking into a trap. People don't want the details, they want you to speak to the soul of their concerns. The minutiae of policy does not do that. Liberals keep thinking you change what voters want with bold behavior. That you can manipulate them by doing the right thing and showing them that they should want something but they just don't know it yet. Voters have never, and probably will never, work that way. To change what they want requires a long game. In the short game of an election you have to speak to them, not do what you want to do and hope they come to you.
