Fuck Willie playing Cf

If this is anybody but Steve Allen, you're stealing my bit.

Can I get a ruling on this?

I think this is a misuse of surprised face.

by Matthew on Jul 25, 2008 3:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

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  

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  

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

But after review, I figured out I was wrong.

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).

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.

I dunno...

I just don’t think that play was as easy/routine as we’re all making it out to be. If I’m scoring, I’d give Inglett a hit.
