Previous Administration / Re: Trump Administration
« on: August 06, 2018, 04:35:13 PM »Does he have any dealings that would tell you he is not a racist?If a Klansman goes to work one day and engages in a relatively pleasant conversation with an African-American who comes into his store, does that make the Klasman not a racist?
Have you checked?
If you found YES to be the answer, would you simply dismiss it as "Trump doing what he needs to get ahead"?
If so - well - you are believing what you like - and that's that.

The mere fact that these are positions (which, if you are ascribing all of them to the Democratic Party, are mischaracterized anyway) which you happen to disagree with does not make them "elitist."

And we're back to the initial argument(s).

We were talking about and Kid was trolling about why I didn't think the Yankees needed Britton and why if I were GM I wouldn't have gotten him. I have no idea why Cashman did it. Keeping the Red Sox and Astros from him likely played some role.

The compelling part of the argument is "look how good the Sox would be with Britton. We have to do something to stop it." The rejection is "let the Sox have him. Let's get what we need."

Would you prefer I said "compelling, but ultimately rejected"?
Cashman has the touch of arrogance that all good GMs have to have.

« on: August 04, 2018, 07:10:20 PM »I always acknowledge and reject that argument. I don't think any team is good enough and wise enough to focus on another team's needs at the expense of their own.What I said was "while keeping a guy from another team" is always an argument and a compelling one, I prefer my to make trades based on what is needed and the Yankees didn't need to get a guy for whom the talent they gave up could have been used to get a guy they did need.
I agree the Ys did not need Britton, they needed a starter, just like they did before the season started, so I assumed a part of Cashman's reasoning for acquiring a guy they did not need (Britton) and could afford, was to keep a needed asset from his competitors.
I do not recall you stating it was a compelling argument, but I do not possess perfect recall.

Actually, I guess we'll never know. Troll.
Perhaps you can find it on my Twitter account.
