Let’s stand in the corner together and take a time out. 😃 You asked about C.C. Sabathia in the other thread, yeah, he’s a lefty. Throws extremely hard, very tough to hit. Has great stuff, possibly #1 starter stuff, but might end up as a reliever. He, Danys Baez, and Tim Drew will hopefully join Bartolo Colon and Jaret Wright in giving the Indians a dominant rotation. Now, enough about pitching. How’s about you being Omar Vizquel to my Robbie Alomar? (for I concede that it’s you that makes our team special, my sweet fielding shortstop) Just let me put on my…glove. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by AudreyK \* > \*\*How do you know that mine wasn’t simply retaliation for the bisexual rumours you started? \*\* **Ahem** I would like to humbly, deeply, and sincerely apologize to **AudreyK**. She is, in fact, not, bisexual. I implied so, and have since discovered I was wrong. The gentlemanly thing to do is to apologize. How was I informed of my error, you ask? Shakespeare told me. Shakespeare knows all. And thanks to him, I discovered that Audrey is not bisexual.

Hey, honey, what are **YOU** doing on this board at this hour? I almost never get to flirt-I mean, conduct meaningful discussions about the important things in life-with you in real time! Okay, so did you happen to catch the 19 inning game the Mariners WON the other night? If I hadn’t been on vacation, I would have had to give it up and go to bed. So, what’s up tonight? Mr. Snake, you say? What a weird name. So, what are the two of you planning on doing this evening? Say, by the way, AudreyK and I are planning on flying to LA to slap you around a little. And, not in a good way, if you catch my drift. Duck, run and flee all you want, you will not be able to get out of this one. No way, no how. Even Shakespeare cannot save you now, my love. 🙂 Scotti Braveheart ---

To pick one out of all of you lovely and gifted ladies would be pointless: “To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.” –King John, Act 4, Scene ii I am honored by your opinion of me as a really nice guy, though to that end I must chide you gently for believing, in a previous thread, that I had something against flirting. Nothing could be further than the truth! Though new to the Straight Dope Message Board (and by the way, I offer you my much belated welcome!), it has become obvious to me, nay, to everyone here, what a charming and precious lady you are: “You, that have so fair parts of woman on you, Have too a woman’s heart; which ever yet Affected eminence, wealth, sovereignty; Which, to say sooth, are blessings” –King Henry VIII, Act 2, Scene iii **OESGal** , I thank you for your kind words. 🙂 ::bows low:: ---
