When you make a 'jump' link,

it’s better to not have it open in a new window. Just an FYI.

Well usually you make links into a new window because you're still reading the original page.

In the case of game threads, I figured people usually just want to move on to the next thread without worrying about the previous one. Maybe I’m in the minority.

he would just walk out to the mound and stare at the pitcher until the pitcher started to tear up and his chin began to tremble. Then Lilly would just calmly turn around and walk back to the dugout.
