Former Cardinals Watch

[JL21]

He's been terribly ineffective in the first season of a two-year, $9 million contract, amassing a 7.29 ERA to date. Furthermore, he doesn't have a single hold in his 22 appearances.

Well there's a shocker.

At least Salas is doing well for the Angels.

Actually, Salas is doing well for the Angels. He's 3-0 with a .236 BAA, 25 Ks vs 10 BBs in 24 innings. That's pretty impressive. Did you even look at his stats before you said he wasn't doing well?

You know mikechamp always uses blue font, right?

Yeah, I wasn't being sarcastic, and I'm not permanently sarcastic. As was stated, I always use that color font and have for... oh, about 8-10 years and thousands of posts.

Why? Blue font = sarcasm

Not when it's mikechamp. Blue is just blue then.

Actually I never got the blue font = sarcasm. If you have to tell someone you are being sarcastic, what fun is it?

[sighyoung]

mikechamp has posted in that blue font for as long as I can remember. I think he just prefers to--which is fine by me.

I had to explain verbal irony to a now banished poster a few weeks back. And you're right--what fun was that?

[Vidor]

It's been my experience that irony is much harder to convey on a message board, hence the font.

I remember it starting at Cards Talk due to someone not catching the sarcasm and taking offense. Cue the other person trying to explain sarcasm and by the time the dust settled no one remembered what the discussion was originally about. This happened enough times that some of us suspected that several of the posts were trolls doing what they do best and hiding behind a sarcasm wall. Finally someone suggested a special designation for sarcastic posts. Why they chose blue font I don't know, but it ultimately stuck.

This is hilarious.

[mikechamp]

Sorry that my font color choice derailed the thread. And here I thought we were all "color blind".

To get back on track, whatever happened to the aforementioned Zach Cox? I just looked it up:

This season, he's got an OPS of .838 in 108 PAs at AAA New Orleans. He's also committed 3 errors in 58 chances.
