He was only saying the premium page it appeared on. The non-premium was on a different page.

 

How many more posts are on premium? And how is it sorted that certain posts are only on premium? Everytime I read regular the conversation seems smooth with no missing link.

 

It's not that certain posts are only found in premium, it's just that a premium page will hold 20 posts while a regular page will hold 15. That means that threads are smaller in premium (in terms of pages) and certain posts in a thread will be on different pages depending on whether it is being read in premium or regular.

 

I figured that was the case when you said it was on page 11 of premium..it was on page 15 of regular. And of course, no reason to make this post except I'm trying to help the thread to 25! (on 24 now in regular)

Is this thing 25 pages yet?

 

I think with enough intestinal fortitude, it can be done.

Dusty Wisdom:

 

"Winning and getting hits and scoring runs relaxes you," manager Dusty Baker said. "When you're not winning and not hitting and you're pitching fair, it sort of makes everybody uptight a little bit. … We're starting to feel that feeling of winning when you go out there every day."

More Dusty Wisdom:

 

'We've got the young man back to 5-5,'' manager Dusty Baker said after a 6-3 victory Tuesday night for Marmol over the Brewers at Miller Park. ''This helps him a lot because when you come up here, you want to stay here. He had better tempo going and better arm slot. It made it easier for him to throw strikes.

 

''With young guys, you might see regression with progress. We've got him concentrating on his release point to throw consistent strikes because he has the arm to do it, big-time.

 

''Normally you work on that in the minor leagues, but he's having to find it in the big leagues.''

And finally, if it weren't for Neifi, we wouldn't be the powerful juggernaut we are now:

"If you have got (Matt) Murton, (Angel) Pagan, Aramis (Ramirez), Jacque, Michael Barrett, Juan Pierre and Neifi (Perez) hot … if you get guys hot, you're going to win," Baker said. "We also have some young pitchers going deeper into the games. So therefore I can matchup who I want to in the latter parts of the game."

 

But we already knew that, didn't we.

50-50 chance Dusty returns?

 

Say it ain't so, Bruce... :cry:

 

Where did you hear/read this?

 

Bruce Miles said it on page 11 (premium) of this game thread:

 

Oh Bruce, just come out and tell us. Did Dusty already sign his extension? We can handle it, I think. :(

 

No, I don't know that he did. I had it at 20-80 him coming back about a month ago. I've got it at 50-50 and rising every day right now.

 

Thanks. I figured it was in the Game Thread somewhere but I didn't feel like going through and reading the whole thing.

Is it at 25 pages yet? I figured I would help out.

Almost. I didn't want to cheat by making a bunch of useless posts just to get to 25 pages. Not very sporting.

Yeah. I think that is a pretty good example.

I can't blame some for not participating. It's getting old talking about how bad they suck.
