not really sure what the point of this "bullpen" feature is. never really that interesting or funny. also not sure what it has to do with a call to the bullpen. other than that, well done.

@kevinblah: It's intended to be a temporary visual break for the readers. Big picture, small caption, (hopefully) fun comments. We decided to name it "A Call To The Bullpen" because Douglas is kind of like our relief pitcher; he comes in, throws some heat, then heads back to the bullpen. Get it now?

@Mark Graham: Umm....is reading funny words really so tough we need a break? Or do you actually mean the writing of the words?

Then again, since baseball puts me to sleep, I've never been clear on that whole pitcher-catcher thing anyway.

@Assistant/Atlas: Neither, actually. It's just intended to be an aside. Nothing more, nothing less.

I come to the site for a break so I don't really need a break from the break. As for the name of the feature, it is a huge stretch for me. I do, however, thank you for taking the time to respond.

thanks for bringing this up kevinblah. i couldn't think of a polite way to express that the 'call to the bullpen' kind of.. well, sucks my balls. but you did. my hat goes off to you

Kids don't read the news anymore, do they? Direct your bitchin' toward the Great Leader of the Blogatariat for requiring 12+ posts/day from the editors.

It's shameful that I know so much about your company, btw.

Such controversy! I am fine with this. I would be more fine with this were he shirtless, but you take what you can get.
