Clarence Thomas was probably/arguably worse...but you would have thought after #metoo and Gorsuch’s “success” that they would have looked for another straight arrow type. Hubris?

But why can’t they find another version of Kavanaugh, maybe a conservative female...do we really want to tarnish the Supreme Court further with Clarence Thomas already there? Do we really want the first justice confirmed on a 100% partisan vote? It would be sort of like Joe Moore serving in the Senate today. Not illegal, per se, but not morally the best thing for the country. Imagine the SC overturns Roe vs. Wade on the back of votes from Thomas and Kavanaugh...how embittered women across the country would feel? We keep saying let’s have objective conversations, so let’s get real here. Fewer and fewer Americans attend church once a week anymore, it might be down to 25-30%. At least 2/3rd’s or maybe even 75% of the country doesn’t want abortion to be made illegal. Why do we want to divide the country even more by going in this direction? In fact, a new candidate would give Collins and Murkowski a lot more protection on their flanks, politically. Or maybe women losing all their rights to a “minority” government will finally balance out female representation in Congress...as women get increasingly tired of 10-11 committee members (old rich white men) deciding and controlling their private lives and run for office?

Can’t wait to see if he decides to “soldier on” like Collins, Hunter and Joe Moore...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-attacks-kavanaugh-accuser-string-134819897.html Is Trump even human? How can you have zero empathy when you have two daughters of your own? Even ___________ (fill in the blank with random infamous world dictators) somehow exhibited more emotions/caring in his relationships.

Apparently we need to show the career OPS numbers of all the Cubs' position prospects that have come up in the last half decade and compare them. Do we get any credit for Palka? A little, I guess...

Now Anderson's in a pretty good slump...it would be nice if we had any position other than DH/1B that could put up a 750+ OPS. I guess we have Narvaez, but can we count on a repeat next year? Waiting for Lip's, 18 leads blown in the 7th inning or later, and counting.

Douglas Ginsburg took himself out of the running for pot smoking, for an example.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/o-rourke-leading-cruz-2-163048000.html First polling with O’Rourke leading...still don’t trust it quite yet, because the GOP is desperately trying to save Cruz, Heller and McSalley, with the TN race wide open right now.

Both teams trying their best to lose this one...

Which we've heard for years are the two easiest "Moneyball" positions to fill. Of course, the reasons here are Dunn, Konerko/Abreu and LaRoche, for the most part.

Real in the sense that half the remaining Sox fans are cheering for a draft position loss?

I guess he's probably set a record for taken called 3rd strikes in the history of baseball? Last time they published the numbers, it was either Judge or Stanton that was like 15 behind him...

He's probably been stuck within that band range of 690-710 OPS for most of the last 4-6 weeks as well. You can say the same of Yolmer and Anderson, although Tim's been 5-15 points higher on average than Moncada. Right now, sitting on an exact 700 ops with 204 strikeouts, 11 games left to go.

Then we'll hear it's all "Inside the Beltway" gossip, only the pundit class cares about stuff like that, not the farmer in Iowa...
