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

I've never liked the Cardinals, and while I didn't dislike my co-worker, he was annoying in his fandom and made me like the Cards even less.
How did LaRoche have a dissapointing season?
4. Maybe another example of "FWIW"
Ultimately that rewards big market teams but the thinking apparently is that with revenue sharing, new streams of money from broadcast and internet companies, even small market teams can compete for free agents.
It also appears that these changes will go into effect immediately, so no worries about having to decide to offer Nomar or Julio Lugo arbitration because unless you really want to keep them, there is no point to do so anymore.
I just want to get something out of the terrible Julio Lugo trade.
I just turned it on. What happened...?
Yeah, see 19
I had noticed that before my wife commandeered the TV for "Desperate Housewives"...
Well, he does have sticky fingers...
Well, Kenny Rogers "likes his chicken roasted", after all.
Wait... that doesn't work at all.

The disturbing thing is they want to put his body in a museum since he was supposedly world's shortest adult.
Amazed Weaver got out of that inning, though.

To get any of these players, Florida likely would have to package surplus pitchers
Ned's all ears...
Is it fact that the Cardinals got him treatment for adult ADD? Or is it just rumor? Anyone have a link, if it's fact?
And who was the anthem singer at the beginning of the game?
That was 8-time-Grammy winner Anita Baker.

"The revenue-sharing and luxury-tax systems will look different, funneling more money toward the lower-revenue teams, and despite a report to the contrary, compensatory draft choices will not be eliminated – just tweaked, according to a source close to the negotiations."
So we should get something out of Lugo after all.

Meanwhile, the decision to remove Kenny Rogers ... not lookin' so hot (dinky hits against Todd Jones or not).
Indeed. I don't like this Rogers character.
Let's put it this way: I have no desire to be Mr. Rogers' neighbor
I guess there wasn't a square to spare. Kenny and Moises should hang out more often...
I spoke too soon. They quoted unnamed major league pitchers as saying that 60% of major league pitchers use pinetar
Hershiser, Sutcliffe, and Brantley lol.
...and this still doesnt change the fact that he shut down the Yankees and Athletics with (as far as we know) nothing on his hand...
"After the substance was noticed, ESPN reviewed tapes of Rogers' pitching performances earlier in the postseason. The tapes revealed that, in starts against both the Yankees and Athletics, a similar-looking brown substance was spotted on Rogers' hand."
