The Nationals Win.

Excellent.

Finally, some recognition.

Actually

Only since about around June has it become a major issue.

Seems odd that Caps is such a sticking point, but one word posts aren’t.

Caps make thing readable

and long posts with out caps look like VEB

It’s a very slippery slope

One word posts remind me of the ESPN board days

saying something just for the sake of upping your post count.

You are probably

not old enough to remember the ESPN boards, when the post counts were a big deal.

Because the higher your post count

the more legitimate your point was. Since obviously you’d survived the bannings long enough with your intelligence to accumulate so many points.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

I’ve even been in one of Vert’s league for 2 straight years.

Who was the other dude that passed away

his name escapes me now.

So much history. And there was a lot of stuff that when on before even I signed up.

Sorta OT

but Mark McGwire would make a wonderful hitting coach. Too bad about the hole image thing.

by JI on Aug 21, 2008 7:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I wonder if he'd make a good pitching coach

he was better than RJ in college.

Also

I’m sad that I lost my Mark McGwire collector’s cup that I got from the one USC baseball game I went too.

Progress for Morrow

It only took him 11 pitches to get thru the first inning against Portland.

At least we don’t have to talk about the team for 3 hours a day and pretend to listen to Mike Blowers

My girlfriend's best friend

got a 40 something inch TV from her parents. She did not sign up for HD service and probably had no plans too but was convinced her picture was really good now (she’d had like a 13" tv before).

I bit my tongue really hard.

They're talking about Instant Replay on the DBacks broadcast.

Replays will be limited to just boundary calls(fair or foul, home run or not type of calls) and it will ultimately be the crew chiefs call.

I still can't believe Cairo is our first base man

There have to be a half dozen guys in AAA who play first, would be easily acquirable and hit better than him.
