so much of taste is smell and feel.......plus, it is just less useful for survival, imo. If I have to give up a sense, it would be that one for sure. I'd like to taste with my sight, because NO ONE else does, and I want to be unique (not really, but I felt like typing that).

They can hear a case, call it a tie, and re-hear them, yes....... If a case is tied, then it upholds the previous ruling, but does not create a precedent. Basically, "we reserve the right to hear this issue in another case" ruling.* *I am no lawyer, but I think that is correct.

Where is the evidence he can, because that's how this whole conversation started. Oh, and you can't use stats..... -
fivethirtyeight, as usual, has awesome coverage on this. A tie on most of the contentious cases looks like it will go the "liberals'" way.
-
thanks, didn't know that. Only slightly changes my beliefs, really.

A bit lighter than the Mauer debates: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-lindor-lucroy-japan-twins-shaving-cream-more/ One story on Jake Reed, one on an announcer from the Red Wings.

don't they live in Florida, not MN? WHERE did I say they were worse parents, or even imply that? I said I wouldn't trade it for anything. Seriously, try not reading things into posts that aren't stated. It helps for a productive conversation. And yes, you could make this argument about any wealthy person. As I said, different people have different priorities. NO PLACE did I even imply ANYTHING about their parenting at all. NO PLACE.
-
Like, are they into the Euro style board games? Or more video games? Or what, because that might effect how I vote.....
-
I understand your post, I really do. Is it still his dream job at this point, when he's not productive, having healthy issues, and doesn't see his family for more than 50% of the year? All I know is, I passed on a ton of more interesting, higher paying, jobs when my kids were young, so I could spend that time with them.......so ya, I am pretty sure I'd quit. I understand, however, that not everyone has the same priorities as me. I wouldn't trade that time with my family for any job on the planet.

Still trying to figure out what "games" Democrats are playing.......
-
sports fans don't care about the athletes much at all, that's clear from the comments all over the intewebs. There is no shaming coming....
-
I think this is a perfectly valid belief....which I meant to type in the previous reply, but forgot.
-
yes, or no, should the Senate approve a qualified candidate? Say, a moderate one? Or a liberal one? If a Democrat wins the next Presidency, should the Senate just leave the spot vacant, then?
-
I disagreed with Democrats blocking qualified appointees when Reagan and Bush were president. I think this creates a horrible self-fulfilling prophecy of making government less effective and efficient. yes or no, should the Senate approve a qualified candidate, or not?
-
There are serious diminishing returns, monetarily, for playing at this point. He and his heirs are set for life. So, other than some desire to be even more set, and the fun of doing that for a living vs how else he might spend his life, it would seem that the rewards aren't that high at this point. If it was me, I'd retire and spend time with my kids, but I understand that not everyone has the same priorities as me.
-
Get away with what? Nominating people to the judiciary that are qualified for that role?
-
Where did I say that? When there is an opening, I want the President to nominate a qualified candidate, and the Senate to confirm that candidate. NO PLACE did I say ANYTHING about the makeup of the court. Yes or no, if Obama nominates a qualified candidate, should the Senate confirm her/him?
-
They have to pay club house dues? Wow. glad I don't have to pay for my office.....
-
Two wrongs make a right? Do you think the Senate should approve a qualified candidate, or not? Or, does it matter to you what liberals think on the topic?
-
I don't think I could give one up. This will require thought, but since I like posting a lot, I'll just post that I'm thinking about it before answering.
-
they should just legalize steroids and other "performance enhancing drugs" anyway. Some of these will be in common usage once we decide that the benefit of healthier bodies outweighs any costs.
-
So, compared to SS and CF and C and pitchers? What is the point of comparing him w/o context?
-
Ya, I don't know how you call him league average, if you are comparing him to 1B or DH......
-
Thou shalt not lie, except to get elected and control the government.......I don't recall that part being in there, yet, it must be.

Position Battle: The Bullpen
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
someone typed "perkins is good at getting LHB out".....then there were stats shown that is not true.......so, if we can't go by performance, because of not enough innings, why should I think the is good at getting lefties out? What evidence do you offer that he is good at it?
