		<description>&lt;i&gt;Hey, now. I thought this was a family-friendly website. Is nothing sacred?&lt;/i&gt;

Dude, have you seen some of the language used around here?  Just &quot;Lauren, Token Chick&quot; by herself negates any &quot;family friendliness&quot; we might have (and she makes damn sure the rest of us don&#039;t wimp out on your cussin&#039; either).</description>

		<description>Speaking of Vidro batting #4, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/mariners/2008/07/protection_racket.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Geoff wrote&lt;/a&gt; about Vidro hitting in cleanup and his protection of Ibanez (Riggleman&#039;s terminology.)

I thought he was onto something, then it screamed small sample size.  Why, oh why, do I venture over to Geoff&#039;s blog every so often -- I end up disappointed more often than not.</description>

		<description>how weird is it that during the All Star game there were two national commercials featuring former Mariner managers (even if Bob Melvin had someone else&#039;s voice dubbed over his image?)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Gee, hasnâ€™t Derek practically invited mass rosterbation????&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think you were joking, but from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://ussmariner.com/comment-guidelines/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;comment guidelines&lt;/a&gt;:

&quot;Except! There are threads where random thoughts, new topics, and events are perfectly allowable. These are the semi-daily game threads during the season. Also, if thereâ€™s a thread on, say â€œnews of the dayâ€ or â€œrandom trade rumors continueâ€ itâ€™s perfectly normal to throw new news or new trade rumors of the day in there. Use your best judgement.&quot;

This thread would qualify as one of the latter.

Don&#039;t worry. We&#039;re still &lt;strong&gt;watching you.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think that, almost by definition, this only ever happens in hijacked threads.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, yes....theories of protective vaccination don&#039;t work as well in real life...</description>
