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

This would have been fun to see ...
James Loney went 5-for-5 over the first two exhibition games, but his real test came at 11 a.m. Friday.
He had to take batting practice against Cy Young Award winner Eric Gagne.
... especially because Ken Gurnick's story doesn't tell us how Loney did.
Perhaps more relevantly, though, Gurnick quote Gagne as saying that he wants to take it easy this spring, pitching in "no more than five or six games," in order to be fresh come September.
