Fuck Willie playing Cf

Can I get a ruling on this?

I think this is a misuse of surprised face.

Isn't that a bit excessive?

Unless it was mainly hidden for being large

I don't get why that was bad?

I mean it was supposed to be a sarcastic surprise face since Willie is starting at center. I realize I must’ve misread JI’s comment.

JI/Robert '08!

by Fin on Jul 25, 2008 3:38 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

My impression.

“Willie starting in CF?” with surprised face jpg = proper use.

JI’s comment reads to me as just general anger that Willie’s starting in CF. Sarcastic surprise there almost seems like it’s related to JI’s anger and not to Willie starting in CF. It’s ambiguous use at best in my opinion.

by Matthew on Jul 25, 2008 3:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I thought I saw "Willie starting in CF?" at first

But after review, I figured out I was wrong.

If you think this lineup is bad

I recommend never looking at our lineup ever.

At least Vidro isn't 4th!

It’s sad that that’s an option

Is it too much to ask

To not play Cairo/Willie/Kenji/Vidro all at once? I’d rather we didn’t play them at all but obviously that’s not going to happen.

There are better alternatives to all of them on the team now, I don’t understand the logic behind this at all (if you can call it that).

I hate these bullshit platoons

we’re better off seeing of Reed/Clement can handle LHP, especially easier LHPs like Parrish.

Clement's hurt though

so that one is at least defensible.

Still, even before he was hurt

That's why it annoys me as much as it does.

If Reed is useful, it’s a big fucking deal going in to next year. If he’s not, the sooner you know the better.

There are so many better options on this team than starting Batista

If the concern with RRS is that he’ll make the bullpen work because he’s still being stretched out, how does starting Batista help? He’s just going to leave after the 3rd.
