I also don’t think it could’ve been more unprofessional. For God’s sake Leyland, the media has a job to do too. Very classy to eat your meal and not make eye contact with anyone or refuse to answer questions about the brawl. It reminded me of my 9-year old nephew when he is pouting.

Hope we sign ‘em all except the Fields kid. I’m also a big U-M fan in all sports so it would be cool for Coach Maloney to get a talent like Fields for the next three years.

I don’t think Leylands postgame could have been more tense.

Numbers are confusing in general.

Like what’s with Eleven and Twelve? And what did they do with Oneteen and Twoteen?

Not loving it. Maybe if the comments were numbered chronologically instead of the numbering starting over from page to page, it would be less confusing. Or maybe it’s the medication I’m on.

Chris in Dallas: I’ll go with:

We’re knockin’ ‘em down
We don’t care where they fall
Knockin’ ‘em down in the city
And we don’t care what your name is
We’re only here to knock ‘em down

OK this post is 2 hours late, but I must quote one of my fave 80′s punk tunes – “tonight we fight, cause might makes right”. The Youkah isn’t getting a X-mas card from me this year.

do you use your own hardware?

Why make something simple complicated…unless it’s a rain delay, then what the hay (poetic, no?)

What about having paginated Game Posts and not otherwise? Is it possible to have them be separately handled entities?

if the jays would give away rios to dump a huge contract, wouldn’t the nats want to do the same thing with dunn. i think i’d even settle for huff. i know dunn’s a bit of load but he can still fake it enough in the outfield can’ he? other than granderson’s occasional leadoff solo shot, we have no power from the left side.

Exactly. The fight today and the Everett at-bat last night are what brought it to a halt and required a reboot.

It actually can’t be a per user preference. I may switch back to a single page if everyone prefers it the other way and the server can handle it.

Actually that makes sense from the server side…and because of the nature of Game Posts–OMG! A fight! What’s happening?!–the posts are probably concentrated like little cluster bombs

its text… it can’t be THAT big. I really don’t like the pages. I like them all on one page. could it be a per-user preference?

Every time a comment is added the page gets rebuilt. Not a problem with 10-15 comments but on games like tonight it actually cripples my server. I’m doing some different things with page caching as well to try and speed things up.
