Chip: Will Buxton blossom or possibly become a DL frequent could have been? Travis Sawchik: Blossom. The Trouts and Bryants have spoiled us … not every player has a smooth path to stardom Chet: Do you think this is the season that Miguel Sano bursts onto the national scene? With 600 AB’s, I really don’t think a 40+ home run season is in play for Sano, do you agree? Travis Sawchik: I don’t know where Sano is going to play, defensively, but I like the power-patience combo RABBINICAL COLLEGE GUY: Who makes it to a playoff game first at some point Twins or the Reds? Why? Travis Sawchik: Twins have Buxton and Sano, and their potential, and no Cubs in their neighborhood. That’s a better outlook, I think. I would have liked to have seen them add De Leon this offseason

The new version of Battlestar Galactica sure was very good.

I am enjoying 'Billions' during my weekend Showtime Free Preview.

I just don't see the imposition onto others. Is the imposition making people do their jobs even if it means providing services to people who aren't living according to their religious beliefs? It's like saying someone saying 'I have this government job, I am catholic, and I won't sign a license for a same sex couple to get married because they aren't living by my catholic beliefs.' The gay couple isn't asking that catholic to be gay and have a double same sex marriage ceremony/service. That couple also isn't asking the catholic to stop being catholic or break faith.

I'm curious why they shouldn't expect same services/equal rights? Why is that an imposition on other people's rights/belief structure? Again, no one is making anyone be homosexual when they provide these services. Government services are paid for by ALL people in the way of taxes.

Btw, good morning.

well, not sure i have an agenda, really, other than not wanting government laws imposed on others based on some people's religion/god. Equal rights is my agenda.

is gun control a religious issue? I was raised catholic and i never heard anything about guns.

have to put the focus tearing down the person who lost instead of focusing on the tool that won. Deflection is this administrations game.

i have spent a considerable amount of time in Europe and been exposed to culture there. And expecting that there should be a complete separation of church from politics doesnt mean i think it will ever actually happen.

According to the nutjob, the media is the enemy of the American People.

I understand that plenty of other countries have similar issues. I wish for our country to do/be better.

yeah. This country is too conservative for my tastes. I like the idea of religious freedom, I dont like the idea that people want to, or feel they have the right to, project their religious beliefs onto others. People shouldnt have to make decisions based on other people's religious values.Basing law on religious beliefs shouldnt be a thing. If you dont believe in homosexuality based on relgion, by all means dont engage in homosexual activity. Doesnt mean, because your religion has issues with homosexuality, that other people shouldnt be allowed to be homosexual. That extends to same sex marriages. Your relgion doesnt condone it? Fine, dont marry someone of the same sex. That doesnt mean you should tell other people who have different beliefs that they have to follow your religious rules.

Im not sure there is anything to support the idea that they are promoting based on his turn,or being oblivious to need. He seems a good choice and I hope experience is a consideration.

I have had issues with Pelosi as far back as I can remember. Her many problems does not include that she is from California.

yes, which is why its frustrating to see any position marginalized in its defensive importance. The concept of hiding a guy in a corner OF or IF spot should have gone the way of the dodo bird a long time ago.

I think it is fair to say the defense was also a major factor in how poorly we performed.

trying to figure out how electing people from New York and San Fran is such a bad thing, but okay. Also cant figure out why Dems shouldnt be involved in getting that embarrassment out of office as soon as possible. Who cares who Trump blames if it happens? He is blaming the media and dems for everything anyway, better he does it as the former President than sitting president.

what does THAT have to do with what POTUS is doing now? Deflect, deflect, deflect.

nope, he was only shifting the blame of not having yet met with he CBC to the democrats. The media and democrats responsible for everything bad. He is the best at everything. Just like the north korean dictator

He didn't even know what the CBC until it was explained to him (reporter was nice, letting the idiot off the hook by explaining what CBC is) and then he blamed democrats for him not even bothering to make sure he met with them before (I doubt it ever occurred to him). But good thing there was a black reporter for him to ask her to set up a meeting between 45 and the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS. If you're looking for the truth, it probably isn't coming out of the mouths of the people in 45s administration. Even Fox is finally calling him on things. NOW what will he do? Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Thursday criticized President Trump for bashing reporters gathered at a lengthy Thursday press conference, calling on him to answer legitimate questions from news outlets. "(Trump) keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we're some kind of fools for asking the question. Really?" Smith said. "Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we're fools for asking the questions?" Trump was repeatedly asked by reporters from different publications about reported conversations between his campaign aides and Russian officials. Trump blasted such stories as "fake news" and berated journalists. "Russia is fake news. Russia - this is fake news put out by the media," he said at one point. Trump maintained that he is not aware that any of his campaign aides had any improper communications with Russian officials. "No sir," Smith continued. "We are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people. Your supporters will support you either way. If your people were on the phone, what were they saying? We have a right to know, we absolutely do and that you call us fake news and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people is inconsequential. The people deserve an answer to this question at very least." Smith also defended CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who pressed Trump for answers on several points. Acosta and Trump have frequently sparred at past press conferences. Thursday Trump said he was upgrading CNN from "fake news" to "very fake news." Smith defended Acosta during the segment Thursday, calling him "an accomplished reporter, a guy I've never met, but a good reporter." http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fox-news-shep-smith-to-trump-you-owe-the-american-people-answers/ar-AAn1RFA?li=BBnb7Kz

In fact, the liar actually said:.“But he probably was told by [senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer or somebody like that … he was probably told don’t meet with Trump. It’s bad politics.” See, he didn't actually have any sound info saying it was Schumer. That's Trump just grasping at straws trying to push blame as usual. 'probably', 'somebody like that'

according to Cummings himself, unless we want to believe the habitual liar Trump. “I have no idea why President Trump would make up a story about me like he did today. Of course, Sen. Schumer never told me to skip a meeting with the President,” Cummings wrote Thursday.

Except Schumer did nothing of the sort. “I have no idea why President Trump would make up a story about me like he did today. Of course, Sen. Schumer never told me to skip a meeting with the President,” Cummings wrote Thursday.

you're welcome. Hopefully others enjoy it too.
