2018 Democrats thread
How would you describe the opposite feeling for centrist candidates? Pragmatic realism? Nobody gets excited to vote for 27-29 year old candidates unless they really possess the ability to shake up the system, not provide more of the status quo. And, if not her, what candidate will excite anyone in Iowa? Corey Booker would rather take money from Big Pharma and Wall Street while convincing you he “feels your pain”...while trying to thread the need,e of occupying a place between Bill Clinton and Obama. It won’t work. So what else do you have that will motivate the Left to get out and vote?

2018 Democrats thread
https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/14/opinions/trump-white-house-drama-emmy-nomination-opinion-zelizer/index.html Say what you will, but Ocasio-Cortez is one of the few Dems with any oxygen right now. Same with Sanders, and Warren to a slightly lesser extent. Other than Joe Biden, what legit centrist/globalist/neoliberal candidate is out there with enough star power to actually counter Trump? You also realize that you’re painting those pushing for progressive policies as the moral equivalents of left wing neo-Nazis...or anti-Rabbits. That’s a sure way to get Trump re-elected and 1-2 more conservative SCOTUS named, by the way.

Jimenez could return Sunday
See Cubs, Kris Bryant. Of course, their fans had a lot more faith in the proven success of Epstein.

This just in, Canada has pretty much taken over the US due to their monopoly on oil and gas pipelines entering the country...they can turn them all off simultaneously (or sabotage them), it’s The Purge 5 all over again.

Revisiting the Q deal
For example, a lot of Cubs fans have been all over their scouting department for Darvish’s season so far...there’s always going to be a certain amount of risk in every acquisition. I guess the one injury that was the most predictable was Burger going down so quickly, but an Achilles’ at that age is extremely rare even for a bigger athlete.

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
White Sox now just 13 runs behind Balt for second worst RS/RA number in the game. KC still far ahead. Basically, Balt has been much more effective at losing, the anti-Mariners.

Farmer believes he’s (Covey) tipping his pitches...fatigue, as well? Velocity hasn’t been as consistent.

Giolito makes half-year list as 6th most disappointing
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2016/07/30/padres-trade-matt-kemp-braves-hector-oliveras/87830222/ Forgot how they kept playing musical chairs with Hector Olivera and Kemp deals before he eventually ended up in LA again...of course, Olivera originally signed by LA in perhaps the worst Cuban deal ever (Rusney Castillo would be right up there.) But these deals are not netting elite under 25 prospects. White Sox need one of these: Shelby Miller for Swanson, Inciarte, Blair and Speier...or the other terrible DBacks’ move, Touki Toussaint and Arroyo (contract dump of just $9.5 mill) for IF Phil Gosselin.

You can say goodbye to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Our new SCOTUS nominee has deemed it to be unconstitutional. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/07/10/scotus-could-cripple-cfpb-with-brett-kavanaugh-on-the-bench.html

Of course, when a bad contract gets absorbed, it actually turns into a net positive for the Dodgers (Kemp).
