  1. It would sure be cool if Galvan homered here
  2. Maybe. But those are only big issues because the right wing media space made them big issues. If the Democrats had done those things they would have just found other issues.
  3. Sort of. You need to have a bold status quo disrupting vision. Since this is the Democrats, it would need to be left tacking.
  4. Identity politics are just a way to appear leftwing while not offending their big money donors. It isn't just that identity politics is there, it is that it isn't even authentic. They Democrats don't believe in it really. The Republicans DO enthusiastically embrace identity politics and that seems to work for them. And outside of the most blue districts they have been downplaying it for decades anyway, choosing to focus on how bad the Republicans are and the barbarians are at the gates and they are the last line of defense and blah blah. So they are the party that defends the status quo when they are not doing the identity politics thing which...has its own problems. Most of the sorts of issues that I think would make the Democrats popular and an actual party just aren't feasible politically because it goes against their donors, even if it would be popular among their voters. So what to do? I don't know. If I knew the answer to that I wouldn't be sitting here on Surly.
  5. Max is good and all, but he is not a key starting pitcher...and then our other starting pitchers just start sucking. If Galvan and Rodriguez are alright I think we should be ok. But we obviously don't have enough depth for too many more of these.
  6. I knew this season was going too well. Ah well. Next man up I guess.
  7. I take it the baseball coach doesn't have a Monday press conference.
  8. Goddamnit. Do I need to repeat the same thing every year? Yes the Regionals and Supers and all that are the most important when we get there. But is this the Regionals? No this is the regular season and my Texas baseball program isn't in the business of finishing 2nd. We win the SEC we're probably the #1 national seed anyway.
  9. The Tennessee and Arkansas sweep so we would be 1 game back.
  10. Us sweeping this series and going 4-0 this week gave us no advantage at all. That's pretty crazy. This is looking like a very top heavy league. We could win the series against Georgia and lose ground.
  11. It would sure be cool if Tennessee would lose at some point.
  12. Just be glad we weren't playing on their football field.
  13. A little odd we didn't get any injury updates today.
  14. And we're done. 8-1 in the brutal SEC gauntlet.
  15. Both teams seem so over this series. One down.
  16. Or not...whatever. Finish them off pitcher Flores.
  17. Bring them home Kimble
  18. Chamberlain is such a hole in the line up. Hope Galvan isn't too terribly hurt.
  19. Nicely done pitcher Flores.
  20. Think the bounce was too high. Better to get the sure out anyway in that situation.
  21. Can anybody here play this game? Come on Flores.
  22. Ok well nice try, nice effort Dre. In comes pitcher Flores.
  23. Don't do this Dre. Pound that strike zone.
  24. Dre coming in. Kind of wish Ruger could go for the CG, but I know we don't do that kind of thing in 21st century baseball.
