    See, I think the descent into full Saul is a ways off yet. His brother is the least of his obstacles on that path, Kim is far more problematic. This win over his brother is the first time Jimmy has really turned on his brother and I don't think he enjoyed doing it. My guess is, deep down, he still wants what he's always wanted: his brother's respect. I don't think we're done having that knife to the heart twisted on Jimmy. But the descent into Saul doesn't really kick off until he has to alienate Kim. At least IMO.

    We really saw how good the Saul story can be too. I know everyone loves Mike and Gus, but Saul is telling a damn fine (and sad) story himself. Gilligan is a pro at writing tragedies.
  3. TheLeviathan
    This has really been an outstanding season so far.
  4. TheLeviathan
    It's too bad we couldn't con someone into taking Inflated Dozier. Maybe he has a July binge coming, let's hope.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Unions are really little more than mini-corporations these days. Not sure that's the solution.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Why would we move Sano when he has proved capable? Jesus, don't open a hole for no reason!
  7. TheLeviathan
    Better than nothing I guess.
  8. TheLeviathan
    Hopefully we'll have a healthy sample of Polanco at short so we can make a decision when Gordon is ready.
  9. TheLeviathan
    The worst part is all these relievers we're talking about signed for relatively modest contracts. If they had been wildly overpaid that would be one thing, but Holland/Storen/Feliz made relatively little and they could've had a large impact on this team.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I can't make any sense out of Duffy right now. The team continues to talk and act like they don't want to make him a 1 inning setup guy (ala May) because he might still be a starter. But they've had ample opportunity to put him back as a starter and chose not to. I'm lost on that.
  11. TheLeviathan
    I'd definitely pick up the phone and kick the ol' tires.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Well, if The Kush is doing it....it must be ok!
  13. TheLeviathan
    Is Kintzler actually the best or just the closer? I have a hard time applying the usual bullpen rules to this motley bunch.
  14. TheLeviathan
    The odds of AZ being the ones to tank and not us are not very strong. That's a much better team overall IMO.
  15. TheLeviathan
    I think it is. I think frustration over costs is getting people to abandon ideology in search of solutions. That's always a good thing IMO.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Pfft, if he gets called up for Saturday it means this was magically the game where everything was fixed!
  17. TheLeviathan
    I think we're at a disconnect if the suggestion is "filling a hole" and "going for it" involve going for a #4 starter. In either case, it's May 6th. Can we just enjoy being not terrible for a little while before we declare ourselves contenders?
  18. TheLeviathan
    Too many ifs on May 6th and too many things that could change to even speculate. I'm not sure, even if this team is fringe contending, that I'd be this aggressive.
  19. TheLeviathan
    But on topic, it was nice to see a jubilant Joe Mauer!
  20. TheLeviathan
    Of course! When it's an accident, then I totally understand. Otherwise, don't see the point.
  21. TheLeviathan
    That was my thought, I can't imagine a greater threat to a true faith than rabid political involvement. We hear about the separation of church and state largely in the context of protecting the state, but it protects religion every bit as much.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Well that's sort of the point. Their thinking is absurdly stupid. You tried to assert it was some sort of clear delineation along lines of spontaneity vs intent. It's not that at all. It's more like as soon as the game is final exuberant displays of emotion that would otherwise be construed as deliberate attempts to show people up are ignored. That's the real truth. I'm happy for Mauer and, as a fan, his joy is awesome to watch. As I find clutch playoff grand slam celebrations awesome to watch too. I'm just not arbitrarily picking and choosing.
  23. TheLeviathan
    I loved Joe's walkoff and I love the emotion of it BTW. But in doing so I'm staying entirely consistent. If you get pissy at Bautista but love this you're being a hypocrite or short sighted or a homer. But you aren't being consistent.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Guys spontaneously show emotion and passion all the time and get drilled for it. Hell, guys do things accidently (like slides and HBP) and people get drilled for it. Suggesting the difference is intent vs spontaneity is absurd.
  25. TheLeviathan
    How do some of you that are Christians feel about the mostly toothless EO about the Johnson amendment.
