Though he did slide VERY late. I don't think it was intentional; just a bad slide. -
He didn't do anything different than what Coghlan did Holy [expletive]. What? He slid in hard to break up the double play and apologized to Russell pretty much a second after it happened. And the Cubs didn't have any problem with it. What am I missing here? http://cdn.niketalk.com/1/1a/900x900px-LL-1a7b1191_whoosh.gif

Love this.

Perfectly reasonable. I think I suffered some kind of face blindness when that Berry person came into the game. Was he even real? didn't you see his magical baserunning in pittsburgh the other night? Which night?

[expletive], I wish they were wearing those throwbacks again. Whomp these meat puppets.

Same here. We got into too big of a hole earlier in the season. We've been busting our asses, trying to gain ground. Valiant effort, but too short. You piece of [expletive] rednecks can have the division this year. But that's it. We are coming for that [expletive] next season and you aren't getting it back. And we are going to stomp your asses in the playoffs. Prepare to have dongs rained upon you. Man, I loved today. I get to watch so few of the games, and I love how invested I was in this, how even after the first inning I knew at the very least they were going to be in it. Everything was just so amped up and intense and it meant something; it [expletive] felt like playoff baseball. It's awesome to be watching REAL [expletive] BASEBALL again. this is a dangerous game, but . . . how many cubs games have you watched this year? well he doesn't live in the area and doesn't appear to have mlb.tv, so probably not that many edit - nm, he does stream games but i got confused because he kept referencing gameday lately I did get MLB.TV when they did their Father's Day deal, but with Sunday-Tuesday being my days off and my work schedule being noon-10:30 PM it just kills my chances to watch unless they're on a national broadcast. Though I might be moving to something new where I could stream at work, so fingers crossed.

Probably only around 40-50; my schedule is [expletive] for catching them live and I can't stream at work,sadly.

I'm actually kind of amazed you can even tell that.
-
The second I was convinced it was gone seemed to take so long. Just a momentary respite from the perpetual pain they're going to face going forward.

Only one bad thing happened today. I pledged to never say a bad thing about La Stella ever again if he got a run in in the 8th. Now I must stand by that pledge. SIGH.

I would think any half way decent lawyer would be able to get their client off in these type of situations. And Kane can obviously afford good lawyers so he probably doesn't have anything to worry about. It's why so many rapists end up walking. Basically unless the victim is left a battered, shattered wreck from violent sex, it's ridiculously easy to convince a jury that it was "consensual enough." No. It's ridiculously easy to create "reasonable doubt". Which right now can be sold right now simply via the idea he used a condom or didn't bust his nut inside of her or on her. Look at how many comments here and on articles about there where people act like this completely exonerates him. THAT'S the uphill battle with prosecuting rape and sexual assault cases; unlike so many other criminal cases, the expectation of ironclad evidence vs. circumstantial evidence is skewed hugely to the former. Too many people are looking for any and every reason to dismiss it. So what happens when the rest of this investigation is released and it almost certainly shows that the rape kit showed that she had sex that evening. Then basically the difference before and after the info leak is that people assumed that he must have jizzed his mind out all over her? How does that exonerate him?

That's how much I'm enjoying things right now!

Sure he's not in the clear, but the point is that they can't prove it. I'm just spitballing here....but if Kane said something like "We had some rough sex. She scratched me a bit, I bit her shoulder...that kinda freaked her out and she left...," then unless they have some more evidence we haven't heard about, I just don't think we're gonna see much here. Short of the victim coming out and admitting that she made the whole thing up, I don't think there's any way for this to be more "in the clear". In fact, that's a good question....what would have to happen at this point to make him "in the clear"? Inventing time travel and preventing this from even happening in the first place.

Your statement about how statistically speaking, if a woman accuses someone of rape, it's likely it happened. You aren't basing your whole argument on that? No, I said if a woman accuses someone of rape *I* assume that it likely happened. Statistically I've talked about how few rape cases are even brought to trial, or how few incidents are reported, or how the accused ultimately rarely do much, if any, jail time, etc., etc..

Soooooooo...nothing at all?

The most fun part for me right now is how I just feel like I can assume the Cubs are going to win every single day they play. My dad was texting me about how worried he was going in to yesterday's game and all I could muster was: http://i.giphy.com/9x0V5EVMVEFZ6.gif

I don't know what you're talking about when you keep mentioning numbers.
-
I doesn't sound like they're not talking about hair evidence; even the former DA crowing about this said it was in regard to vaginal swabs. This was, presumably, about checking her and her underwear for Kane's mutagen. Again, they DID find his DNA on her, where she was injured and said he injured her, and under her fingernails. Unless it's found that there's no evidence of sexual activity he's still in a lot of trouble. Honestly, this is one of the reasons so many people accused of rape or sexual assault end up walking; there's this idea that they're automatically these out of control monsters just violently raw-dogging it and leaving a Jackson Pollock painting all over the place for CSI to slip on. The most likely and simple explanation is he used a condom, but there's this reluctance to see rape or assault as possible if a condom is involved.
-
Sure, and they have to weigh the whole thing. With that I'd assume Kane has decent security setup and there'd be video or photos of something as obvious and dramatic as someone forcing their way into his house. Such a system likely would not extend to the bedrooms. It's incredibly hard to sell people on the idea that something occurred without there being evidence of the accused ejaculating. Many people seem to have trouble wrapping their heads around the idea that assault or rape can occur without the accused getting their rocks off, or without them finishing in or on the victim. One could see it as very telling that only this very specific piece of information was leaked when rape kits are used to search for a whole host of physical evidence on the victim's body. This simply doesn't exonerate him at all; it simply means he didn't leave ejaculate DNA evidence in or on her genitals.
