      - I don't think either of us is criticizing Obama beyond the "irony" that he took an argument he has lampooned and used it when he didn't like the odds. - spamlet Apr 4, 11:50 5

      - Got it, when you said "liberals" you didn't realize you were wrong so you needed to backtrack it to just 3 people. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:50 6
        
        Also, that it was "started" before there were even Democrats or Republicans... -- nm - Stephen, (still) loving the Lady Irish! Apr 4, 11:53
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        No, the fun part is to see you and znu claim that "he arguably said it" when in fact he did. -- nm - Stephen, (still) loving the Lady Irish! Apr 4, 11:57
        
        No, that's not my argument, that's your strawman. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:55
        
        The fun part of "you started it" is that that it ends with "and we hold it in such contempt that we emulate it exactly." - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 11:54 1
        
        [deleted]
  - Conservatives consider it judicial activism because they disagree. President Obama used the same term to describe the same thing. - spamlet Apr 4, 11:29 14
    - [deleted] 13
      - Or it's cowardice that after years of screaming about the other side using it, the head of your party does the same thing. -- nm - spamlet Apr 4, 11:41 8
        
        [deleted]
        
        sure, if you want to ignore the possibility he was using the term ironically, at least in part, to point up the hypocrisy of the opposing side - znufrii Apr 4, 11:43 6
        
        [deleted]
        
        More irony in politics could reduce hipster apathy. "Cutting Medicare will *totally* help our economy..." -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 11:49
        
        Got it, when the other side does it, it's hypocrisy, when your side does it it's irony. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:44 3
        
        when it's irony, it's irony, it doesn't matter which side does it. - znufrii Apr 4, 11:55 2
        
        No, you're the one arguing that the liberals who were all up in arms about the exact. same. thing. aren't being hypocritical. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:56 1
        
        No, I'm specifically and only addressing Obama's comments on the matter. -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 11:58
      - It's also a dollar in the "both sides do it" jar -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 11:36 3
        
        unless there is a false equivalence, and one decision might actually constitute judicial activism -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 11:38 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        You're right. That makes it two dollars! -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 11:40
Meh for Mitt in '12! -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 11:21 1

- I'm curious why MLB didn't start with a Sunday game this past weekend and Opening Day on Monday. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 4, 11:22 29
  - This is actually technically earlier than usual, in an effort to get the postseason over earlier. - Ender Apr 4, 11:40 3
    - Nah, they usually start on the day of the NCAA title game; this past monday. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:50 2
      - Not true. -- (link) - Ender Apr 4, 11:53 1
        
        They changed it up last year...until then it had been that first Monday for opening day; the day of the NCAA tourney game. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 12:00
  - That would put all of the opening series during the week. The way the do it puts most of the game on the weekend - Krusty Apr 4, 11:25
  - [deleted] 19
    - MLB is awful at marketing the game and Opening Day should be a huge celebration. - Krusty Apr 4, 11:28 11
      - When I rule (and I will rule), Opening Day will be designated as a national holiday. - spamlet Apr 4, 11:31 3
        
        My brother! You've got my vote no matter how crazy your other ideas may be. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 11:33
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        You're assuming I will rule via election. - spamlet Apr 4, 11:33
      - Every other league does interleague...baseball will be fine. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:28 6
        
        Interleague shouldn't exist until the rules are the same in both leagues. - Krusty Apr 4, 11:31 4
        
        I'm down with this. DH for all! -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:31 3
        
        Boo! -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:46
        
        At this point I don't care which one wins out I just want the same damn rules across the leagues. - Krusty Apr 4, 11:42 1
        
        *too close* -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 11:46
        
        I just do not know why they insist on home openers for the Cubs on opening day... - groiny Apr 4, 11:30
    - I still dont' understand the reasoning behind that. - znufrii Apr 4, 11:26 6
      - I don't get it either. Selling the game around the would seems to make sense but it's - Krusty Apr 4, 11:30 5
        
        I don't know, Japan already being into baseball does make them a good candidate to sell US baseball to. - Ender Apr 4, 11:49 2
        
        I think Central and South America is MLB should be focusing. They should be working to improve the - Krusty Apr 4, 11:54 1
        
        and also are in more similar time zones. -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 11:55
        
        here's an idea, since we're going to have interleague year-round anyway starting next year - znufrii Apr 4, 11:39 1
        
        I like that idea, the only issue would be two cold weather teams. MLB likes to have the cold weather teams start - Krusty Apr 4, 11:44
  - Money, money, money, money. MON-NEY! -- nm - spamlet Apr 4, 11:23 3
    - Explain. I don't see the inheirent advantage of the midweek vs. start of week start. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 4, 11:26 2
      - ESPN and FOX get better ratings. ESPN and FOX will pay more money for broadcasting games. - spamlet Apr 4, 11:27 1
        
        True, I guess I am projecting the first game experience on that. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 4, 11:28
- And your brother still needs a 3B. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:21 23

    - there is a reason why he never gets 500 AB.... - groiny Apr 4, 11:25 21
      - Which puts him squarely ahead of Mark Reynolds. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:26 9
        
        I have faith that he is a much better defender than he has shown. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 11:28 8
        
        I think he's a lot better than he showed last season. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:32
        
        Who, Reynolds or Betemit. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:30 6
        
        Reynolds. - groiny Apr 4, 11:32 5
        
        I think your IM is correct - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:33 4
        
        deeply flawed = 37 homers, a .320 OBP and close to 90 RBI? - groiny Apr 4, 11:35 3
        
        Deeply flawed - yes. Batting .220 and can't field. He's Dave Kingman. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:38 2
        
        Batting average should be secondary to OBP. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:41 1
        
        Should be .... but his OBP is completely hollow. They pitch around him knowing he'll still K 33% of the time and if he does walk, they just get the - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:48
      - [deleted] 10
        
        Which is the current plan. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:27 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        That I don't know. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:34 7
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        For two weeks, at least. -- nm - spamlet Apr 4, 11:42
        
        yeah, the On Base machine - groiny Apr 4, 11:37
        
        Johnson *should* be in the lineup every day if they want to put their best on the field. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:35 3
        
        I agree with that. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 4, 11:37
        
        yeah, Johnson is one of the strangest signings I have ever seen. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 11:36 1
        
        I love it becuase it's cheap and he's a damn good offensive player when he's healthy. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:47
- Sorry, I do not recognize any games that start before 4:05PM tomorrow. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:21 3
  - Heh. I am old enough to remember when the Reds always had the first game of each season - amoxy Apr 4, 11:27 2
    - That went away when MLB started the Sunday openers and Marge Schott didn't want to give up the traditional Opening Day festivities. -- nm - Ender Apr 4, 11:59
    - Since they killed an umpire. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 11:31
- *predicts a Logan Morrison Homer* nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 11:15 1
