What's better than saying it? SAYING IT!

Mavo, a commenter on the San Jose Mercury News Giants blog "Extra Baggs" (from either Carl Steward, according to the "posted by, or Andrew Baggarly, of the blog title) wants you to know that Tim Lincecum pitched a good game today.  He also wants you to know he did not "throw" a good game today.  But how to get that across to the average reader, who might miss the subtlety of "pitching, not throwing"?  The answer, of course, CAPS, the currency of the commenter:
What a dominating PITCHING performance from Timmy today! And I mean PITCHING … not just throwing!!
And he remembered the cardinal rule of commenting: when in doubt, use exclamation points!  POINTS, not POINT!!
