Or we could just wait for another lawyer to lay out obviously incorrect law in the most self-righteous manner any strip mall lawyer ever could.

[nolemmings]

we have that. He just posted. Let's see if we can find that thread where he who is smarter than all educated the board on how reliable polygraph exams are regarded--Leon, I believe it will be found in a Clemens thread-- only to then immediately backpedal. Then I would love that he, after consulting with others (since he knows little to nothing of what he speaks) will point out the "obviously incorrect law" to which he refers, after which he will again to be shown to be as much full of crap as he is with himself.

[calvindog]

Todd, yawn.

I only need to be smarter than you. Which I am.

Now can we get back to watching Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett in Triple AAA at the All-Star break?

[calvindog]

Oh and by the way, I recently used a polygraph exam to convince federal prosecutors to back off a certain life sentence for a client and negotiate a plea agreement which resulted in a 7 year sentence. Oh and the FBI has a polygraph department -- I know this because the former head of it was in my office last week.

But I'm sure you know all this through your experiences in your real estate practice.

[nolemmings]

geez, I thought we all should benefit from your genius Jeff. And BTW, trying not to get into a whose is bigger thing here--unlike you, I do not suffer from delusions of grandeur--but you are not smarter, not only than myself, but also of many, many others who post or lurk here but who get tired of your massively large ego.

Yep. Let's talk about the standings and trades some more. May is just the best time for that. And I'll be just amazed when Bartlett wins his batting title, rather than the been there done that (twice) Mauer, and stunned how the Rays keep rolling along at that .500 pace, a half-game better than the Twins. BTW, please show me, I'm too stupid to point out where I said Bartlett and Garza would be in the minors--oh, wait, I didn't, just more of your "observations"--you rascal.

[calvindog]

Todd, don't blame me for your feelings of inferiority. Considering it appears to happen so often to you I assumed you'd be ok with it by now.

As for Bartlett (and Garza), no one ever compared him to Mauer. Tbob complained bitterly about the trades made by the Twins in which they got rid of great young talent and received nothing in return. Bartlett and Garza were basically traded by the Twins for Delmon Young. On planet earth that is considered a bad trade. Had the trade been made for Mauer your point might make sense. But of course you don't.

[nolemmings]

but I have no feelings of inferiority. In fact, you're the first person to ever suggest such a thing about me--wait a minute, are you just funnin' me again or am I just havin' trouble keepin up with your superintelligence? Gosh-dasher you're so damn droll it just don't seem fair.

Know what? I met Tbob, and will probably meet him again in Cleveland. I will tell him again to calm down about the Twins (hi, Bob) until the season is over. But yeah, until one team wins a World Series, I'll reserve judgment on who got the better of a specific trade and, more importantly, just how much it matters. Right now, the Twins have a decent and full starting staff and a 23 year-old Delmon Young, plus a three position player in Brendan Harris. I recognize that on Planet Jeff--where I'm far too primitive to qualify as sentient life-- it may seem like a horrible trade. In fact, you know what, it may prove to be just that on Planet Todd, where me and Jethro are studyin our guzzintas in hopes of making it to double-naught spy school. Just seems to us hicks that it don't matter all that much right now; obviously, we could use your superlative guidance, 'less of course you think it's better that we have no opinion.

[calvindog]

Todd, put the tub of beer down. The Garza & Bartlett for Delmon Young trade is bad today, tomorrow and 100 years from now. Now the Santana for Carlos Gomez trade...why don't you tell me how good that one was again? Oh wait, I remember: it was a good trade for the Twins because Santana will never see a World Series. Got it.
