		<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, hasn’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 there’s a thread on, say “news of the day” or “random trade rumors continue” it’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>
