@Grey: Ha! You sound just like a couple of guys I work with. Hey! That's not you at the next desk is it?

@Steve: "Yes, I imagine that links posted in comments are rendered by the Wordpress engine and that you are constrained by the capability thereof." You lost me at "Yes."

@Grey: My specialty is actually asking questions that are nowhere near specific enough! Yes, I imagine that links posted in comments are rendered by the Wordpress engine and that you are constrained by the capability thereof. Long live the right-click. Or Ctrl-click if you're on a Mac, which I am at home.

@Steve: You work in the area of making yes or no answers really long? Ahh... The comment links! Yes, I have no idea how to make those a new window. Sorry.

@Grey: Funnily enough, I did, as I work in this kind of area myself. I wasn't quite clear enough - I should have said any external links - like the Muppet caught by the speed camera I posted yesterday. Makes perfect sense for Razzball links to open in the same tab/window. All that said, the right-click is a nice work-around.

@Steve: Rudy and I try and make every link that is in a post that is a Razzball link (like the two above) not open in a new page. So you're still on Razzball then. Then we try and make every none Razzball link in a post open in a new window. As for the sidebar links -- A) I wouldn't know how to get them to open in a new window. B) I wouldn't do it any way because most those sites open in the same window to us, so it wouldn't be fair to do the opposite to them. C) There never is a C, is there? I think the standard protocol is to have all links open in the same window because a user can decide if they want to open it in a new tab by right clicking. But we're not completely standard. I think it's easier to have all links open in a new window because who wants their reading interrupted by a webpage change? But it is what it is, ya know? Betcha never thought an answer to that question would be this long, huh?

@Grey: It will look even better for the Marlins if someone like Hermida takes another step forward. Off topic - I know it's not your thing, but can you find out if it's possible for any links that are included in a post to be configured so that they open in a new tab or window (although I doubt any Razzballers use IE!) when they are clicked? That way we never have to leave the Razz!

@Steve: I did (and so did you). For a team that dismantles every third year, the Marlins have shown to be rock solid judges of talent. I wouldn't be surprised if Nunez becomes a top closer for them.

@Grey: Well, you'd have to say (and you did say!) that looking at the Marlins' roster, Jacobs looks eminently replaceable (does this mean a regular gig for Cantu at 1B?), and they Marlins get a good arm for their bullpen - they have a pretty strong MR corps now. Advantage Marlins, I'd say. (I love parentheses)

@Steve: I knew you would be! How does this trade seem from Down Yonder?

I’m all ears!

Nunez was great for me this year until he got hurt. Got plenty of Holds and was SP-eligible to boot.
