Plus I think the gamethread idea is a good one

Seriously though, have some guys lined up to post when you aren’t around. Or at least have some guy to delegate.

J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

Some extra content that isn’t threads would be appreciated. 85 days till Bulls season opener must be filled somehow.

the headline is very, very caucasian. dino-mite? no, DY-NO-MITE. i bet you snap on 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3, too.

the de-criminalization of pot.

since the gamethread was abandoned, can you answer whether or not your equation and my equation for the magic number were equivalent?

The SSS meet up was ok.

I got to ask KW’s yes man about one too few pitchers on the staff until Sep. 1.
Several bars later its roughly 4am, I just get home after a little mix up at Bobby G’s in Markham. It wasnt enough fisticuffs to spill into the parking lot, but it was enough to let a fella know hes alive. Yee haw. Thanks for the back up, Larry. You truly are 112 lbs. of basement livin’ badass.

The Game:
My Seats.
Right Field.
Twent plus rows back.
Exactly behind the foul pole.
Thanks Sox.
Ya sons a bitches.
I cant even see the plate from my assigned seat.
Thanks for nothing.
Blog You.

Colin’s mom didnt let him out of the basement(since he didnt take the garbage out) so he wasnt there.
Furby showed, but was about 15 years of age. Hes not part of the bullpen bar crew. Didnt even say hi. But I think that was you in the black Konerko 14.
That leaves Larry. Larry is exactly what you think of when you imagine a nerd on the internets, God bless him. Fast right hand though. Ya gotta watch those skinny guys.

and then stats, and the top 50 AL players by batting average. Why isn’t Ramirez in the list, he’s hitting 0.312 non? So he should be in the top ten.

Rockies claimed RHP Livan Hernandez off waivers from the Twins.
Minnesota tried to get something in return for Hernandez, much like they talked Colorado into giving up Matt Macri for Ramon Ortiz this time last year, but ultimately settled for simply dumping the remaining $1.7 million on Hernandez’s contract. He’ll immediately slide into the Rockies’ rotation despite posting a 6.87 ERA over his last 75 innings, and will continue his quest to become the first pitcher since 1979 to allow 300 hits in a season with the aid of Coors Field.

Indians placed RHP Matt Ginter on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain.
No move has been made yet, but Anthony Reyes is expected to be called up from Triple-A to replace Ginter in the rotation.

“Buehrle: Floyd may feel heat”

i know which one i would pick as the more significant and less ethical transgression. tht has an ethics ranking project. check it out!

i think i might side with bud on this one

Assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Wednesday that the Phillies aren’t interested in re-signing free agent Freddy Garcia after watching him work out in front of a dozen teams earlier this week.
“He’s got a ways to go,” Amaro said. “For us, I don’t think we believe that he’s a guy that could help us this year. He threw OK. The feeling is that he’s going to come back, but he probably couldn’t help us in September.”

Dear Miss Manners: It is not uncommon for employees under my supervision to approach me to ask me a question while in the process of consuming a snack, asking the question with a mouth full of food.

What can I say to deter this?

Gentle Reader: Miss Manners reminds you that the polite thing to say before you turn away is, “I don’t want to interrupt your lunch. Let’s talk when you’ve finished eating.”

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the Red Sox have claimed Brian Giles off waivers and now have 48 hours to work out a trade with the Padres.
There’s little indication that either sides wants to make a deal, as the Padres were simply doing what teams do with many players by seeing if Giles could pass through waivers and the Red Sox were blocking him from potentially being dealt somewhere else. Giles also has the right to veto a trade to 10 teams and Boston is on the list.

I don’t like it at all

when a gamethread is an the front page I can see the comment counter: ‘350 comments, 50 new’
this way I can follow the conversation

the ‘3 recent gamethreads’ box doesn’t have such an indicator
I want to read the recent threads without having to jump through hoops for it

I don’t need ways to make my life more difficult than it is

and about the ‘waste screen real estate’ argument

if you want to remove threads, why remove recent threads? scroll down the main page and remove threads there. don’t remove recent stuff

I dig the sleeker look of SSS. So much easier to navigate, and far more aesthetically-pleasing.

/scoff
I hated looking at those petty game threads taking up valuable front-page space. It sure was difficult, especially for just visitors, as I once was (ahh, the good old days), to maneuver through the manure, so-to-speak, of cumbersome, loathsome game threads; when there are just so many new posts each and every day to sift through, meditate on, and finally, after great thought, on which we can comment with our fellow enthusiasts. The opportunity for my life at SSS seem gaily endless now. And I’m not referring to Colin here.

Thank you for de-cluttering this hot mess of a blog. Even at the expense of our convenience. You know what I say? Fuck convenience. Larry says game threads are shit?, well dammit, game threads are shit. Period. End of story. You are ignorant to think otherwise. The game thread’s too lardylicious for you, baby.

That is all.

I like how the gt’s are on the right, comments showing!
I agreed with Wiz that the comment count should be visible – at least for recent ones.

Just cuz the gt’s aren’t everyone’s bag, I like to hang since I’m on my computer anyway, and they actually have something to offer in the way of info and good humor. So yeah, I like being able to see the most recent ones the next day.

So thanks for compromising!
