Jon's other site:
Screen Jam
TV and more ...
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
"West Coast Whiner" sent this response to my Jody Reed-Pedro Martinez story:
Good story, very good, but it seems highly likely that if he'd stayed with the team, the Dodgers would have slagged Pedro's arm at a young age the way they had his brother's before him.
Contrast the following simple lines:
Year Ag Team IP - Ramon
1988 20 LAD 35.7
1989 21 LAD 98.7
1990 22 LAD 234.3
1991 23 LAD 220.3
Year Ag Team IP - Pedro
1992 20 LAD 8.0
1993 21 LAD 107.0
1994 22 MON 144.7
1995 23 MON 194.7
What-could-have-beens will never be settled, but I would not have wanted to be a young pitcher's arm in the Dodgers organization.
