    Yep, and he's tweeting at the local talk radio and they're lapping it up. Guh. This is beyond unacceptable.

    That, and trading Hendricks.

    At times I'm worried Dvaid's been sontensei all along and he's so drunk these days he forgets which account he's logged in as.

    Good God, Hunter Pence is terrifying.

    Before the Cubs/Perfect Strangers, someone did a Pirates/Family Matters mashup: Love the Polanco shot, and the sweet celebrity cameo at the end. And I watched the Cubs one at work without sound, and the FM theme was the one I had in my head as opposed to whatever the [expletive] the PS one turned out to be. That FM theme basically works with every 90's sitcom.

    Sadly, it doesn't surprise me at all. It's a tough crime to have clear cut evidence for in the first place, but then there's the added resistance of thinking the presence of a condom could mean it was rape, or if she's not (to be horribly blunt) torn up then, hey, it couldn't have been rape, right? It's a miracle anyone ever gets convicted over these sorts of crimes. I wasn't clear. I meant specifically what he said about cases involving children. Well, with children, i'd bet that they come forward far later than others. I have no idea, though. Even when they come forward immediately it's rare. To be clear, I'm not talking about bruises on arms or legs from being held down or something--though that's pretty rare too--I'm specifically talking about vaginal injuries. Which are surprisingly rare, even in young girls. And, yes, my job is often less than uplifting. Yeesh. That's terrible. So much of the human response to trauma is to just basically shut down.

    I know that the State/prosecutors generally consider this to be a stumbling block, and take steps to mitigate it. That's why, with any good prosecutor, they'll introduce testimony about the rarity of physical damage (even when it hasn't been, and/or won't be, affirmatively asserted by the defendant). That's the only reason I actually know about this rarity, in the first place. And, I have to admit, without having heard this testimony constantly, I likely would have been initially somewhat skeptical of rape/molest claims without physical damage. It's a good thing that the human body can absorb/heal but it does make these cases harder. Interesting insight. Thanks.

    ALEXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

    Maybe to keep him fresh? When is the last time we used him before today? I believe 3 or 4 days ago. Been awhile. Plus thanks to the time he's missed he's only pitched 36 innings going in to tonight's game.

    I always picture this:

    The bullpen has been working its ass off lately and are likely to have to do so again with Hendricks and Haren. Kind of a pick your poison thing; probably was hoping this would be a quick inning They literally just had a day off yesterday Oh my goodness, a whole day. It's not like Arrieta's season workload is the only one that counts. Joe was likely hoping he'd get out there with 110 pitches or so, which is hardly problematic.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    OH HEAVEN FORFEND, NOT 101 PITCHES.

    Soooooo sleepy. I love the dongs, but they make the game so long.

    I should have refreshed!

    Juan Pierre robbing Bonds of a HR was unexpected. Wasn't it a milestone-tying one?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Go, lawyer-signal! Thanks, Exile. That...sounds like a nightmare of a mess.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Sexual assault would be much broader, no? I would think so. Rape, I believe, amounts to forced intercourse in the eyes of the law. Sexual assault would basically cover everything else. But hey, let's put out the lawyer-signal.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    YES, PLEASE.

    His dumbness accentuates his hotness; Cooper is just a dweeb who desperately wants to be the Anthony Bourdain of journalism.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    But Anderson Cooper actually is called "the Silver Fox." Nobody calls Wolf anything except "idiot."
  25. Sammy Sofa
    At least he's not Richard Quest.
