    If it's May, I'm going to be really pissed.

    Republicans are not creating laws that force a mother to die. They aren't even at the stage of deciding that yet, they are trying (in several states) to erode abortion availability. And, in some places, are having remarkable success at doing so in spite of what has been decided by the Supreme Court. I would suggest it's a bit naive to think there isn't a sizable portion of the population that would like to see abortion outright illegal.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Bullpen still needs help. Badly.

    Texas is working towards making abortion very difficult to achieve practically by wiggling around the edges of law. But let's not be mistaken - most tea party Republicans and arch conservatives would like to eliminate abortion altogether and leave only this one scenario left for discussion at the end. And I'm not really sure where the discussion would go at that point. (And this, by the way, is coming from someone that thinks the abortion issue in general has been co-opted by a whole lot of political nonsense from both sides. One of greatest moral dilemmas has been reduced to Religion vs. Convenience)
  5. TheLeviathan
    Texas stands as one very obvious example of the falsehood of this.

    I agree, I think most of my hesitation stems from my growing frustration with every friggin thing being a "right" these days. We have a total breakdown in our national understanding of our "rights", but I digress too much. I'm glad the decision went this way, no one should have to wait on the legislature for marriage.

    Bert is gonna hate this.....

    I really like your post above spy cake. I'm not a fan of the cumulative WAR usage right now in the metrics community and you laid out a really nice way to look at it.
  9. TheLeviathan
    He has, his bat is still a mess.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I agree, though I typically prefer that social change happens legislatively whenever possible rather than manipulating the court to achieve something. I don't think this was manipulation, but it was the far more expedient path. (Which is a positive in this case, just speaking kore on the principle of how things are supposed to happen). I like Roberts quite a bit, love how he shot down right wing attempts on health care. It shows his principles generally cross ideological lines. (Not always, but generally)
  11. TheLeviathan
    Yes, that too. They very much need to get off the court.
  12. TheLeviathan
    I think people should read the arguments of the Justices, very interesting. I agree with this outcome, certainly, but I do see the struggle Roberts had with it. (I suppose I'm raining on the parade a bit by bringing this up, but I enjoy Constitutional Law)
  13. TheLeviathan
    Good thing I have a new Batman game to play!
  14. TheLeviathan
    You totally lost me on that joke. Way over my head.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Positives: 1. Nice steps forward by May and Gibson 2. Aggressive prospect promotion 3. Eddie Rosario Negatives: 1. Mauer 2. The Bullpen after Perkins 3. Regression from Santana, Suzuki, Vargas, Arcia, and Hughes. (It was bound to happen to some, but all of the biggest risks seemed to have gone the wrong way) 4. Hicks isn't a starting CF
  16. TheLeviathan
    My god that is one ugly slide. Put that one on the top of the offseason list of "things to work on" along with general base running/stealing.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Well said. Why shouldn't we do the opposite? Link the article straight into the pre-existing discussion and just slightly rename it? This was a case of merging two threads that weren't even about the same thing.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Smerf - you came out of hiding for that crappy take on politics?
  19. TheLeviathan
    Excellent news!
  20. TheLeviathan
    Didn't see that coming. Santana in CF?
  21. TheLeviathan
    Towns and Jones is pretty much as ideal a night as you could envision.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Right, but I question Flip's willingness to follow that.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Right, but typically doesn't the merge happen with the article thread so that the topic is the same? (Reaction) Anyway, I don't care that much, but I also was surprised by the timing of the merge. Though I'm sure Dave is just trolling.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Honestly, I don't see this as a problem, but I did think the merging today was odd. Really caught me off guard. We merged a "react to the decision" thread with a previous thread more about speculation pertaining to that decision. So, it did seem a bit odd.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Trading someone at their lowpoint is unlikely to help an area of need or get back the equivalent of a 1st round pick. Especially given what they have behind him.
