He might not be prepared for an Earl Weaver fastballing, but he's definitely ready for an Earl Grey teabagging.[/quote]A proper English teabagging.

There's a fucking FONT for that? Sign me up![/quote]On many platforms that don't shift fonts or where emoji's are lackluster...or even when emoji use is high...some people use a "tone indicator." Many of the ones I've used in the past and some I still use do so.

/s for sarcasm being frequent, as an actual font or winky face or emoji specifically for being sarcastic can be troublesome.

[quote=calcanfun2][quote=windowShopping7][quote=bridgetender]I use the wink, ;-)

Though, on occasion that’s lead to having a fastball fired at my head. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

[quote=irishrose22]" And the putting someone on second if the game is tied after 9 ?"

Wait... seriously? They do that now?[/quote]Yep.

In the regular season, if the game goes to extra innings, the next person in rotation for the respective team, starts the tenth or consecutive innings on second base. It is meant to speed the game up and get a winner of the game quicker, instead of going long, extended innings. Off the top of my head though, I don't remember if the same takes place in the playoffs.

And the putting someone on second if the game is tied after 9 ?

Baseball never interested me much, but it is completely unwatchable now.

I remember when the Zephyrs became the Baby Cakes…and then, left the Nola area, and then, there was the more recent PawSox to WoSox move up in MA.

JW: Whatever became of McCoy Stadium, home of the Pawtucket Red Sox? Maybe I’ll ask AL…
