Just thought I'd pass it on to the crew here to dissect, discuss, and tear apart. Enjoy.

I dream of a day

when the fact that Huston Street's ERA went up a tick won't be treated as prima facie evidence that he got worse last year.

I dream of sheep, chains, and butter

Yours worries me.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

I dream of a day when one-link "tell-me-what-you-think" posts are put in the DLD

Chiba Lotte lost simultaneously in the fighter plane of the Japanese ham.

or in the "FanShots" section

Really, that's what it's there for.

I thought those were for pictures?

pictures, short comments, individual links, whatev

That feature was designed specifically for what bleacherman did: post a link without offering any real comment on it.

sigh

That's a nice dream.

Are one-paragraph "here's a story that I think is funny!" posts put in the DLD in that dream, too?

Yes. I often post funny things that get lost in DLDs, but at least I don't break the diary code.

but i really don't get into the whole 'DLD' thing. I come to this site to read about the A's. The DLD's seem to move towards a bunch of different topics, often not related to baseball. Maybe that's the idea, i just don't get it. Regarding the Fanshots, i typically don't pay attention to them because there is usually nothing of value there. I've tried to read the DLD's for some humor, but after about 20 or 30 posts I generally get bored and move on to something else. Again, it's probably just my screwed up way of looking at things. Or, maybe I have ADD. That would suck.
