3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with
Praising other people's work is starting to take up too damn much of my time.
John Wiebe at John's Dodger Blog takes an even-handed look at Jack Clark, offering evidence for and against him. It's the most thoughtful look at Clark I've seen.
I do have to say, I think the most compelling information is the chart at the top of the entry, highlighting the decline in the Dodger offensive performance since Clark was hired. Losing 50 home runs and 50 OPS points a year - that can't all be written off as gone with Gary Sheffield.
