re: What Dirt Does Bibi Have on Trump?

You’re wrong splitting it down the middle. If the GOP gets off their butts and get Save Act for passed, you’re going to see a drop of 20-30% of “Democrat” voters. They will magically drop out.
I doubt the numbers will shift to that degree. And with respect to my point about Northern Ireland, it won't matter. In the 1970's, Northern Ireland was 31–34% Catholic and approximately 60–65% Protestant. It was a terrible time.

This is how 1/2 of the country feels about the other half. A very dangerous place for a nation to find itself. It's about as bad as the divide in Northern Ireland between Protestant Unionists and Catholic Nationalists. We all know what happened there.

We have some speed. The women's track team could use their help.

Knox has played well since entering. Had a rebound and a Bill Walton quality outlet pass and then a block.

What's our goal here? If it's to destroy their capability to produce viable nuclear weapons, at least for a long time, that seems achievable. We've obviously killed their leader, but the secondary goal of removing the entire regime is more problematic. They have layers of leadership designed for this sort of scenario. I think it would require boots on the ground for a long time. Civil war is likely. Israel would have to take the lead in any such effort. I don't think the American public wants large numbers of American personnel involved in another Middle Eastern conflict, especially if we've eliminated the nuclear threat.

Correct. And the SS covers more ground which can lead to more errors.

Then why did I always get stuck in right field? The only balls I ever saw was in the shower after the game.
Lol. You probably had the strongest arm.

This is your opinion and that's fine, but to use the word infinitely in this comparison is just wrong.
Agreed. Center field is a nightmare if you don't have great speed. That said, the hardest ball to play in center is the one hit right at you. It's hard to tell how far and how hard it was hit if it's coming right at you. You have to possess great anticipation.

Tim McCarver had a lot to say about 2nd basement and other positions in one of his books.
Second basemen first and foremost have to be able to make the pivot.
They're expected to make the routine play and anything beyond that is often considered a plus. That said, their arms are tested on double plays and when they serve as cutoff men and must throw to third or home, but they’re not tested as consistently as the arms of shortstops because most of their throws go only a short distance, to first or second base.
They're taken for granted except on double plays, but a second baseman has all kinds of responsibilities, including covering second on most steal attempts with right-handed batters at the plate—except if they are opposite-field hitters—and covering first when the first baseman charges on a bunt attempt. It takes some courage to play second on a double play.
They also have to be able to judge the speed of a ground ball to the left side of the infield, because that determines how long he has to get rid of the ball. Not as easy a position as you think.

There's not a coach in the country that wouldn't want the LSU job. Johnson isn't going anywhere.

I was going to say Mike Fontenot, as well. And Ryan Theriot. One of my favorite infield combos.

Knox certainly responded well. It was going to go one of two ways, and it worked out well for everyone.

I think the games are more fun with the Russians, but the rivalry with Canada has supplanted our rivalry with Russia. The Russians would no longer be considered the favorites, either.
That said, the Russian team in the late 80's with Fetisov, Larionov, Konstantinov, Fetisov and Fedorov was the best team of all-time. I never saw a team play with such beauty and precision. But the system that produced them and kept them in Russia (before finally leaving for the NHL and the Red Wings) no longer exists. There's a great documentary about these guys and that system titled, Red Army. Fascinating stuff.
