somebody tell the weather gods..
Varitek homered off one of the catwalks that support the roof at Tropicana Field, giving Boston a 7-3 lead in the fifth.

Varitek homered off one of the catwalks? Does that mean Varitek hit a ball that rebounded off one of the catwalks to land him a homerun? Is homerun one word?

I am gratified, crossthreads aside, that he got his verb agreement correct.

Yeahbut®, it's mighty tough hitting a pitch when you're batting from one of the catwalks over the outfield stands...a remarkable feat! Must be why they call Varitek "Stretch"! (and speaking of the Red Sox, in honor of the NY Yankees 100th Anniversary Celebration ESPN's SportsClassic Channel has been running tapes of classsic Yankee games all week. Last night I happened to catch that legendary '78 one-game playoff between the Yankees and Red Sox where that fabled home run was hit by Bunky Dent...still just as delectable...just in case wow and Flatlander are lurking)

Yeah, but all this white shit gives me a pain. Can you just add it in as part of the post even if you don't think that everyone will be interested? If you use white everyone has to highlight it just to see if they're interested or not. I think that defeats the ultimate purpose of using white, myself.
Not that I'm advocating any steekin' roolz or nuffink.

We've always used white for asides or off-color or special interest, Cap, ever since the beginning...why the tradition-change request all of a sudden? And, besides, I didn't want mav to show up screamin', "Sports Thread! Sports Thread!" And, yeah, that highlighting is sure one strenuous click and sweep...I got carpal tunnel in me index finger from it, meself. roolz is fer roolerz...and sometimes for "quotation marks"... hi tsuwm!"{white} 'Sides, you can read the white without highlighting it if ya really want to...{/white}" (left unwhite on purpose) And, sides, that's part of the joke...white is a whisper.
