Thank You For Not ...
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
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
And speculate endlessly about unsubstantiated trade rumors.

Hide all the Stanford jokes! Don't give him your real name!
Rumor Central: Izturis trade bait for Dodgers?
Any "Insiders" here who might wish to summarize...
It's just a note referring to the LA Times story where Izturis is wondering why he has become a second baseman.
