They aren't. This was done WITH PERMISSION for the purposes of this game thread. It was a one-time only use and is now done. And I think Vanimal and NP did a good job with it. And, further, we allowed this because game threads are supposed to be lighter and more fun. While the Twins haven't given us much 'fun' there's still no reason to drag down these threads as some have been doing with every chance they get. This schtick, done with permission, is to let people know to lighten up a little. We have many, many, many ... in fact ALL the others threads ... going on right now to rightfully (and respectfully) complain, discuss, debate, reason, wonder about the product of the field and all that goes into it. There is no reason to drag this down with the same. yeah, not an easy task, but try.
