I guess you didn't read this part:  "So, while many Americans consider themselves "independents" or in the middle of the political spectrum, they really aren't."

And that is not a question.

Scenario, you need to win 2 of the last 3 games to win the division and the 2 seed. Your #4 and 5 are due up on the rotation. Your #1 is at 88 (100). Do you A) Run the rotation as normal and assume your 92 win team can take a game and give your ace a chance to clinch at 100 (100), or B) Bump you ace to start on 4 days rest to ensure he sees action in a "meaningfull" game, despite the outcome of game 1?

You get the bye even if he pitches game 162.   I'd probably save him for game 162 and let 4-5 pitch 160-161.  If you lose both of them, you shorten your 1's PC so he can pitch game 1 or 2 in the Wild Card series.

I could possibly try to figure this out myself -- but I'm too lazy and it is much easier just to ask you.  I've got two players who need to fill 2B and LF.  Where do you play them?
A:  84 76 86 79 --- B: 75 84 55 62

Can you have too much defense in your lineup?

A is at 2B.   More range and better arm will produce more + plays.   76 glove is good enough but will obviously produce more errors.

Nah, I'd just call you a dumbass if you played a lefty at 2B.

No but you can have too little offense by concentrating on D.

I was clicking over between innings of Yanks loss to CWS.  I did not see it.

If I had mobile spray tanning needs, I assume she could work a sprayer if given proper instructions.

MLB has a rather high limit for testosterone levels for a failed test.   The effects of HGH aren't as "dramatic".    And, quite possibly, HGH may be tougher to get.   So, if I was looking for a quick boost, I'd probably go with 'roids while watching testosterone levels closely.   You could get some pretty good results at 3.5/1 while avoiding a failed test.  But, if I knew I was goingt to be tested, I don't know why anyone wouldn't just go on a steady diet of HGH.

Should we stock up on bottled water, twinkies, and duct tape?

Or does the fact that the Mayan calendar has scheduled the world ending in-between Election Day and Inauguration Day mitigate the risk of war?

I don't think that will be necessary.   Seems like somebody has been sipping the moonshine though.

Although, to be honest, I've wondered how long it would take our bottled up government to recognize, and act, if I stopped paying taxes in protest.    I know Obama built my business so I assume he'd notice tomorrow but, in my other dealings with the government, it's pretty damn slow.  They might not catch up to it until Obama is out of office.

So what would happen if I set the hit and run setting at 1- rare ?  Is that swinging for the fences?

I've been unable to find much difference between 1 and 5 with that setting.    My assumption that a high setting will produce more SB attempts(due to failed H&R), more whiffs(same reason), less walks and less homers.   The advantage is a good contact/BR team will take more bases.
