If you can't figure out a way to protect your signs, then too bad for you. |

Seriously. I know these guys aint geniuses, but if you are aware of someone tipping, you can actually take advantage of it. If you change things up, they'll be tipping the wrong pitches.

And if they know the pitches are being tipped, they're just being lazy not getting snookered.

That, and by making "1" a curve-ball and "2" a fastball (but hopefully much more complex).

That's one option, but changing your signs might work better.
I'm kind of hoping that Joe calls up his predecessor, A.J., today to chat. |

I was thinking of LA and Atlanta, where I am given to understand it has occurred. It sounds like you're saying it happens outside the US as well, at least in Beijing?

I have no doubt it happened in Beijing, but it doesn't happen there only because of the Olympics.

Rio will do something about its favelas (shantytown slums), but it will have to be a monumental effort, given that up to 1 million people live there in 500 different slums. http://www.macalester.edu/courses/ge...d/thefavel.htm

I don't see walls b/t "major highways" and residential areas as necessarily objectionable; they're quite common around the US. But I had thought that they built walls b/t ordinary city streets--with sidewalks, bike lanes, etc--and the residential areas. You're talking about the latter, right?
