QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 12:00 AM) Ding ding ding. In my opinion, the biggest hurdle to getting SSM recognized through the courts is winning the argument that sexual orientation is an immutable characteristic. Once that's taken care of, having sexual orientation being considered a suspect classification should be easier. "Well, your honor, according to you sexual orientation is something we can control. So, if the opposition could please demonstrating by becoming gay and then straight, we'll drop our argument."

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) I wish I could figure out how to do this. Mine was going to be: Its a deal: Sox get Bryce, Nats get Jake* *from State Farm

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 12:12 AM) Traded to the Dodgers Well, that sucks.

Santiago as a starter is something I like.

Yeah, we aren't great athletically. The following are: Rose, but you know, injury. Teague, but he's a project. Butler is slightly above average in my opinion, definitely not Ronnie Brewer though. Brewer was a crazy athlete. Taj Gibson, no explanation needed. Noah as he is very agile for his size. Not too explosive as an athlete, but he's a very fluid and coordinated athlete. Nate is obviously athletic, he dunked at 5'9. Doesn't make him a great NBA player though. Good 3rd PG.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 11:14 PM) Vizcaino could be a steal. Love it for the Cubs. I look forward to seeing him pitch. God damnit Braves.

Well, that was fun.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) This. It helps to be Troll Level 200. Our hits have been really good. And to grab a niche market's interest

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) Damn, anyone know what happened to Carl Skanberg's Palehose 12? I was really enjoying the Hellbreak Adam Dunn storyline, but I hadn't been to the site in a couple months and now it's down It's been down since early in the season. I too am disappointed.

I think the Bench will be about even. No one though the Bench Mob would be what it was when it was assembled. Everyone thought it'd suck.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) No, religion is a protected class. But I thought it's their choice?

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 05:30 PM) Tax breaks for all people who attend Lutheran church services every Sunday. Every person, Lutheran and non-Lutheran alike, has EQUAL ability to attend such services, therefore this tax break is not discriminatory. Why do feel like if I replaced Lutheran with Muslim or Jewish, there'd be an uproar?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) I guess i'd argue that the fact that your a man doesn't stop you from receiving the benefits of marriage. You can go marry a woman if you wanted them. What stops you is your sexuality, which isn't protected. So could I deny someone some rights for being Christian? It's their choice to not be Jewish or Muslim.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) It's obvious but it's true. When was the last time Kenny has bought high on a guy through trade or free agency? Dunn

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) Be clear there though...if someone's religion wants to refuse to recognize interracial marriage, no one is telling them they can't be bigots. The state stepping in and reminding everyone that interracial marriages count less would seem to me to be a different matter. +1 I think of this clip whenever I see this thread.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) They will have to address the glut of unsold #47 McEwing jersies.

The Feathered Serpent shall slay the Piranhas. Also, f*** the Twins.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 01:50 AM) Yeah yeah yeah, hindsight. Wished it back then too. It was because I wanted to resign Buehrle with Danks' money.

I think Jason is the forum's collective conscious.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) Caller just called in & said Escobar was gonna become an all star & Liriano is on the downside of his career.... Some ppl act like Liriano is in his mid 30s or something, the guys is still only 28 & his stuff is still there. Just a little tweak to help his command & we could have a big time steal.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) simple. someone from the southern united states speaking a common opinion held by the ignorant bigots that make up that part of the country. i, for one, wish we had just let the south secede back in the day... QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) What the f*** ever dude. This statement is just as bigoted as anything else that's been said. Check your stereotypes in the mirror. I think he went a bit far, just saying it as a bigoted opinion would have sufficed. That being said, if Duke is from the South, it reinforced a stereotype, which is unfortunate. QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) it isn't bigoted if it's true, man. and i'm totally intolerant of gay-hating, gun-toting, ignorant dips***s, i'll admit it. ...that's the argument people use though. That being said, Duke's post was terrible, terrible view on the world.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) Seriously, I would be both surprised and not at all.

Seriously though, what the f***ing f*** was that?

Watch Kenny get Felix & League for Jones, Castro, Molina, Mitchell and Floyd (BAL or TOR). Maybe even take back Figgins and Humber to pen/spot start.
