Yes.

[Guest]

Yeah, it happens after Roast posts.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, it happens after Roast posts.

 

do we know why?

[Modzilla]

It's something to do with his sig and the quote tags in it. I fixed it for now, but Roast, please check and see if there's anything wrong with your sig and fix it permanently.

Ramirez, 3B

Floyd, RF

DeRosa, 2B

Kendall, C

Theriot, SS

Marshall, P

[Roast]

It's something to do with his sig and the quote tags in it. I fixed it for now, but Roast, please check and see if there's anything wrong with your sig and fix it permanently.

 

:shock:

 

Y...y...yes sir

 

*runs off frantically*

 

 

Oh, and THANKS BRUCE!

[SouthSideRyan]

So what happens tomorrow with a day game after night game? Kendall on the short turnaround? Soto again? The corpse of Henry Blanco?

We really need to give Theriot a breather soon.

 

Hopefully tomorrow....

As long as Cedeno doesn't pick up the start...

[BCVM22]

As long as Cedeno doesn't pick up the start...

 

Isn't Cedeno the only other shortstop on the roster?

[Roast]

I think I fixed my sig; if it is still throwing pages off, someone tell me and I'll just take the quote out.

Fontenot has played 3 games there this year. Granted he's not a SS - but I'd still rather see him in there than Cedeno. DeRosa also played a game at short.
