I just hit my like quota.  I wonder if I can get more by going back and unliking something?

Experiment... Get the lab coat

[ashbury]

Look at that pinhead control

FTFY.

[Squirrel]

You guys just need to learn some pinpoint control when it comes to liking posts.

[ashbury]

What time is it?

You mean right now?

Why the limit? I don't get it.

[mikeee]

Looks like I missed the debut...

7 walks!!?!?  ooops.

Honestly... It was the longest Short Debut ever. Guinness has been notified.

And consumed.

Edit - I just tried it and it worked.

I can't even unlike stuff

 

Sigh... unlike.

[ashbury]

And consumed.

And given an Academy Award for Best Actor.

[ashbury]

I can't even unlike stuff

The quota for unlikes is even lower.

[glunn]

I wish I knew why there is now a quota on likes.

[Riverbrian]

As long as last nights likes come off the board... I can like.

I can't believe the As only have 4 runs

Slowest game ever? 

[Riverbrian]

I can't believe the As only have 4 runs

May didn't give them anything to hit.

 

I'm only half joking. He really didn't.

[Squirrel]

Willi, were you trying to see where your quota is?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I wish I knew why there is now a quota on likes.

and I still really want an "unhappily agree" button

[glunn]

Santana has been a pleasant surprise.  Maybe he can be a major part of the Twins' future.

[ashbury]

I'd need better database skills (and a database), but if you eliminated the first 3 batters Deduno faces in every game he appears in, and reconstruct the innings starting from that, would his ERA and peripheral stats be a whole lot better?  I tend to think so.

[Craig Arko]

I wish I knew why there is now a quota on likes.

So Brock can charge for overages?

[ashbury]

Slowest game ever? 

Fischer vs Spassky was pretty hard to sit through as well.

[Willihammer]

Willi, were you trying to see where your quota is?

Yes, its somewhere around 50 I think.

 

Why is there a quota at all?

[Squirrel]

I wish I knew why there is now a quota on likes.

It got mentioned in the 'New Twins Daily' thread and it seemed from Brock's response that the likes limit was intentional. I would guess there is a reason for that but you'll have to ask him.

[Squirrel]

Lol ... talking about Vargas almost taking off Lowrie's man bits ...

[Craig Arko]

Fischer vs Spassky was pretty hard to sit through as well.

But virtually no time at all on the cosmic calendar.

120 mph short hopper? Pass

Yeah, wouldn't want to use my chest to block that.

Vodka works too...

[Craig Arko]

I'm guessing each like triggers more database transactions than you might expect.
