Ben Gordon is a really nice player, but signing him to a big deal would further drive the Bulls into NBA limbo/purgatory--especially if they were unable to unload Hinrich or Deng.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) I don't think that really matters. Since the beginning of our relatively young judicial system, judges have been guided by the principles of the Constitution and subsequent legislation and precedent, not what other countries think. I just feel like judicial systems are so different, and that legal reasoning comes from totally different places depending on the social, political, and legal systems involved, that a decision in country A isn't really applicable to country B. And really most of these "corner cases" deal with moral issues - the death penalty, torture, rights of certain individuals, etc. The decisions in those cases should be rooted in our own society, not anothers. Did you read the case I posted? From 1900? Did you see how many different countries' laws were referenced?

A defensive downgrade. I left that part out. Now edited. I think that offense is more important than defense, but we do have some pitchers who pitch to contact.

This would be a defensive downgrade at two of the most important positions by most accounts.

Not to beat a dead horse, but in terms of specifics: Read The Paquete Habana, 175 U.S. 677 (1900) http://supreme.justia.com/us/175/677/ From the syllabus: I don't know all that much about the subject, but my understanding is that international law has always played some part in US jurisprudence and that no one imagined it could be otherwise. Now, the meaning and types of international law have changed a lot in the last century.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) They showed him earlier he was smiling, laughing and blabbing away with teammates. Lot's of things we don't see on tv... He sort of embraced BA from behind and pointed something out to him after BA scored a run.

http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs...st1hp0040800111 Watch the replay of the end of the first half (the play starts around :48 of the video). The clock starts a hair late when Gordon gets the ball, but the interesting thing is that the clock freezes at 1.2 seconds, which gives Miller time to get the shot off. What's with that?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) Toby who?!?.... btw...is he even playing this year? He was taking in the game yesterday from the stands. So I guess not.

Mark has a WHIP of 2.00 today.

Pop to very shallow right. Iwamura catches it on his heels and Lilli scores!

Yeah.

I would rather have Josh swinging here.

Hawk is now calling him The Corkmeister...

Uribe did not have those cool glasses.

This lineup can't score, though.

Got the GIDP. Then a single. Then a hard hit ball to center that BA was in good position to get.

Fields whiffs and throws his bat down. I don't recall ever seeing him emote.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) So Brian just isn't going to swing the bat anymore, huh? Might be best. He took twice on 2-0. Once a ball, once a strike I think. Eiither way, he didn't make any effort to make it look like he was thinking about swinging. They were Ozuna-esque takes.

Corky hammered that.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) Davis did almost have 20 points today though. He was 6-15 and had 3 rebounds.

I think it was a strike.

Gameday was wrong. There was maybe 1. I wish Getz had been up instead of Lilli.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) Deep breath. Special thanks to brian Anderson, Chris Getz, and Joshua Fields Forever for that last run. Good point.

Grounder to Paulie, who takes it to the bag.
