Meh, it's still not proper English grammar to use parenthesis for every thread, Mr. Journalist (More on Page 327).
I've rambled on this repeatedly, but to me the use of parenthesis in these threads is simply information overflow. I've already said this in the Random Thoughts thread and ACW's thread because he is one of the worst abusers of parenthesis, but some of these threads, they take up 2 or more lines because it's just a rant of incoherent information that's unimportant.
I am willing to concede use of parenthesis as long as the information is as concise as can be i.e. (Halladay throws perfect game). Against who? Read thread. The information has no purpose in the title in my opinion. That's why people click the thread, to learn more.
Just my 2 cents
Now gotta get back to doing PBP on HFBoards.com of SCF Game 1 got to go
