Open Thread: Game 75 - A's vs. Tigers (cont)

PrintWell Brett Anderson has danced out of trouble so far in the first three innings, and has racked up 5 K's and a lot of pitches. But he must be frustrated with the A's will be A's baserunning; the A's have two runners in two innings caught doing unusual little league moves on the bases; the last one thrown out on a catcher fake to second, throw to third. We go to the bottom of the third, no score.

You just need to enable tabbled browsing in your Safari prefs.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

What I would actually prefer is if it opens in the same tab, replacing the former one. (Which I know is exactly what everyone else doesn’t want.)

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
By habit, I always use cmd-click when I want a new tab.
The only time I regular click is when I know I’m done with the old page.
It would be less of an issue if AN’s default font wasn’t crappy tiny Helvetica. Every AN page I open I have to bump up the size to read it. But I don’t want to change the browser default type size because then all other normal pages are too big.
