People thought the Saito and Shiggy factor(but he denies it) was why but I thought he was coming here for sure because we had Kenji catching and Ichi in the outfield.
Because Yuni would negate the positive effect of groundballs.
I was just going through the Ibanez bad defense .gifs and I was thinking about how many runs scored just with those mishaps. Statcorner doesn’t have defensive stats, but I would like to know what they have to say and compare them to the number of runs Ibanez coughed up in those .gifs.
I was awoken by the homerun that followed, though. And then, back to sleep with me on the couch, the lights and TV on all night. I wish I didn’t miss this.
Let's go Jamie
Matthew - October 4, 2008
People who the rays drafted but were not able to sign version 44763: David Bush.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
I don't think they have drafted that many players, much less drafted that many players and not signed them
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
I would love to see
Frank Caliendo do Rich Little doing Johnny Carson. Meta.
pdb - October 4, 2008
I wanna see himdo Frank Caliendo.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
Wouldn't be convincing
JLC - October 4, 2008
who the fuck dresses up as a wall socket for halloween
JLC - October 4, 2008
I'm starting to remember how boring it is to watch Jamie Moyer pitch
JLC - October 4, 2008
I am offended.
Patrick517 - October 4, 2008
He's pretty boring, dude. But still awesome.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Wait, the brewers are winning a game?
P Brady - October 4, 2008
so, now after 6 months the Brewers decide to have patience at the plate?
msb - October 4, 2008
Mike Cameron draws two walks.
is that one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
msb - October 4, 2008
No, Moyer is just old.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
LOLZ MOYER PITCHES SLOW!!!11
I wonder when the commentators will give up on boring us with the same old shit?
EnglishMariner - October 4, 2008
If there is a game 4 in the Rays series I am not looking forword to this shit with Sonny.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
Dammit, Moyer's getting some great calls on the bottom of the strike zone, gets pulled.
Stupid stupid NL, now I remember why I dislike the NL so much.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
The excitement for this game is amazing.
Goose - October 4, 2008
GO GO GO GO GO
KURODA!
Patrick517 - October 4, 2008
Uh oh's for the Brewers.
Goose - October 4, 2008
And the Brewers survive to play tomorrow.
Alright Dodgers, FINISH THE CUBS!
Goose - October 4, 2008
I second that sentiment
Patrick517 - October 4, 2008
I can't believe the Sox traded Manny...
Patrick517 - October 4, 2008
BELIEVE IT!
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
...and it made them better
JI - October 4, 2008
So now the Dodgers fans sound like they are booing constantly.
TBS needs to fix their sound.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Wooooooo LONEY!
Goose - October 4, 2008
sweep these guys under the rug
like little bugs
Patrick517 - October 4, 2008
Sorry, Lou...
GO DODGERS!!!
Looooooooneeeeeey!!!!
PositivePaul - October 4, 2008
So the Phillies didn't feel like winning that game, huh?
JI - October 4, 2008
Godammit Cubs
JI - October 4, 2008
I have to wait an hour before I can start blogging in the cubbies forum.
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
If you troll there, you're going to get the axe here.
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
The hills do have eyes.
JI - October 4, 2008
NO I want o go in and post:
Just a small town girl…
And see who replies.
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
Sorry I meant 'No I want to go in and post"
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
I have no idea what this means but I assume it's stupid
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Opening lyrics to don't stop believing.
And the white sox unofficial fight song…
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
How would this not be taunting them?
JI - October 4, 2008
Um because they shouldn't stop believing?
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
So... stupid?
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Still probably not a good idea.
Even good comments can piss people off who are in that kind of mood, especially if you aren’t one of them.
Though BCB is a shitastic site so…..
Goose - October 4, 2008
That place is a dump.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
So, in other words
troll
JI - October 4, 2008
I don't think he knows what that means.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
I've never been a troll or at least I don't think I have.
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
Poor Cubs. A century of pride and tradition.
esoteric - October 4, 2008
When I watch on mlbtv
there are no Frank ad, and no viva Viagra songs. Hooray!
JI - October 4, 2008
All I hear is booing.
Do you get that on MLB.tv? Is it the TBS broadcast or the teams’?
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
TBS has exclusive rights to this game.
JI - October 4, 2008
So tell me you hear the constant booing as well.
It makes me think I am going crazy!
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
ahahaha
nice try Harden
JI - October 4, 2008
Maple bats kill!
JI - October 4, 2008
11 groundball outs and no flyouts.
How come we didn’t get Kuroda?
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
He wanted to play in LA.
For less money too I believe and maybe the huge Asian community down there influenced his decision since he was taking his family over.
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
There's a huge Asian community here too.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Shigetoshi Hasegawa persuaded Kuroda to go to LA.
1. It’s warm.
2. A better team.
3. Large Asian community.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
I don't know what went wrong with the deal.
People thought the Saito and Shiggy factor(but he denies it) was why but I thought he was coming here for sure because we had Kenji catching and Ichi in the outfield.
Slurvey - October 4, 2008
Because Yuni would negate the positive effect of groundballs.
I was just going through the Ibanez bad defense .gifs and I was thinking about how many runs scored just with those mishaps. Statcorner doesn’t have defensive stats, but I would like to know what they have to say and compare them to the number of runs Ibanez coughed up in those .gifs.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
That's true. I remember Batista having been hyped for being a broundball pitcher.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Silva was even more hyped.
And Felix is supposed to be a groundball pitcher when he is pitching like he should. It’s those damn fastballs, though.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
You could make the argument that Felix is still ridiculously good
When he get groundball outs.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Oh he is, no doubt.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Casey Blake with the Indians:.289/.365/.465
With the Dodgers:..251/.313/.460
That’s why nobody talks about that deal.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Casey Blake is terrible.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Yes because consistently above average hitters = terrible
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
My thinking exactly.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
I doubt that there is very much involved whenever you post.
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Did you forget the word "thinking"?
If so, you’re wrong.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
"Did you forget the word "thinking"?"
No?
“If so, you’re wrong.”
Being compared to butthol all the time means that either you’re a moron or there’s no thought behind anything you say.
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
I've never once been compared to him.
Thanks though.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Actually, Graham.
I’ll take some time off LL.
I’d rather not have pointless arguments.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Yay
Come back when you have developed a filter between your brain and your fingers
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Yes because you are privy to ever single complaint and flag made on LL
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Doesn't need to be
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/10/3/627789/10-3-rays-rays-rays#9167215
JI - October 4, 2008
Andy LaRoche with the Dodgers
.203/.319/.322
So Blake was an upgrade even if his numbers went down. Although giving up Carlos Santana suuuuuucked.
bluemax - October 5, 2008
I wonder when DLee hits the market.
.Taylor - October 4, 2008
Ted Lilly approves of Derek Lee's reaction after striking out
Goose - October 4, 2008
I love this gif
JI - October 4, 2008
Lou knows how to inspire his players.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Every time I hear that comment the image of Lou going after Rob Dibble runs through my head.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Lou looks so young.
http://www.local12.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=20257
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Perhaps it is because it was 17 years ago.
JI - October 4, 2008
Perhaps.
But I think he was on steroids.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
What makes you think that?
JI - October 4, 2008
I wasn't being serious.
My “Lou looks so young” comment was more of an “Aw, isn’t he cute” comment. His brief interview is hilarious.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
How did you ever find that so fast?
The only thing missing on Dibble were the Bosworth lines in his hair.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
I just googled "lou pinella rob dibble" and it was in the first article.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Duh. I just realized I typed 'ron'. I7 years ago. Wow.
He was closer to being a player than from 1992 to present day. Suddenly the avalanche of Viagra commercials are making sense.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Woo Martin!
Goose - October 4, 2008
I'm tired of this shit.
JI - October 4, 2008
Sean Marshall is one big dude.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
A little short?
They have 12 outs to score 3 runs
JI - October 4, 2008
The Cubs are 9 outs away from a century of Fail.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Hilarious,
P Brady - October 4, 2008
Stupid Dodgers.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I don't like them.
JI - October 4, 2008
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Wheeee!!!
JI - October 4, 2008
Bwhahaha!
Goose - October 4, 2008
He's kinda doing the Y-M-C-A dance.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
WTF? This makes me want extended cable. Dammit.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
The Angels are so giffable
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
90% of that is Francisco Rodriguez
JI - October 4, 2008
Still counts
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
He does have a legitimate point.
JI - October 4, 2008
Boy does he ever think so
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/10/3/627882/10-3-thread#9173731
JI - October 4, 2008
Along with the Hart "drop"
the case more expanded replay pretty much makes itself
JI - October 4, 2008
Patience man. 4 years when they revisit the issue, I'll put money they expand the use.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
I also enjoyed the Torii-Hunter-hurts-himself-doing-the-angry-jump incident
JLC - October 4, 2008
What the hells is he doing?
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
umm...
Being hopping mad
JI - October 4, 2008
by flapping? it's only making me laugh.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I love the Angels
JI - October 4, 2008
they need to die.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I would like it if they would wait til the 14th inning of game 5 to do so.
JI - October 4, 2008
If you really wan to show the public that you have surpassed the master
add in some fire
JI - October 4, 2008
I didn't actually make this one
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
That was a dumb thing to say
JI - October 4, 2008
Although it explains the lack of bright beautiful widescreen.
JI - October 4, 2008
Honesty is the best policy
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Except we would fall for your lies.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Weeeeeeeeeee
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
That team expresses it's anger in the most adorable fashion.
JI - October 4, 2008
Haha, did he hyper-extend his knee when you landed?
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
He landed*
Almost pulled a Milton Bradley.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
I like how the 1st base coach lands at the same time
And manages to NOT hurt himself like an intelligent person.
JLC - October 4, 2008
There's a lot of weeeeeeeeeeee going around tonight
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
*wheeee
JI - October 4, 2008
I could find countless examples of you voicing something contradictory
JI - October 4, 2008
I don't always follow my own advice
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Welcome to Lookout Landing!
JI - October 4, 2008
What the hell is he doing?
I missed this somehow.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
See!
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Pickoff attempt on Crisp, he was called safe, Angels were unhappy.
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
I was dozing in and out of the game last night.
I was awoken by the homerun that followed, though. And then, back to sleep with me on the couch, the lights and TV on all night. I wish I didn’t miss this.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
So here's the whole story
My favorite part is how Rodriguez even falls off the mound on pickoff throws
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Hilarious.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
I think the dance combined with the umpire's jazz hands
could potentially make an incredible loop.
JI - October 4, 2008
That's not jazz hands.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
What is it then?
JI - October 4, 2008
The Macarena.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I saw footage of Macerna worle record day at the Kingdome
that is no Macerena
JI - October 4, 2008
is to.
put arms out.
put left arm over right arm.
right arm over left.
just stops before we see the rest
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
No way
There’s definite spinning action.
JI - October 4, 2008
you said the umpire dumbass.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
also yes, my shift key is far away.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I'm talking about the umpire you stupid girl.
JI - October 4, 2008
hey doesn't spin.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
There's a spin fakeout.
JI - October 4, 2008
-
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
That is one ugly girl.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Reese Witherspoon?
JI - October 4, 2008
the top girl
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
That's my sister.
:(
Okay maybe not. Apparently it comes from a facebook page.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
You are going to get boxed so hard.
JI - October 4, 2008
Spirit Fingers!
Azimeir - October 5, 2008
That's it.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 5, 2008
At some point these Geico commercials are going to become so esoteric that I'm actually going to have some interest in them
JLC - October 4, 2008
I find the Geico commercials rather amusing, but the TV show sucked ass.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
I was watching CBS/CFB most of the night, how did thew cubs screw it up?
P Brady - October 4, 2008
Ignored. :(
P Brady - October 4, 2008
I'm curious also
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
They failed to score
JI - October 4, 2008
How did the dodgers score?
P Brady - October 4, 2008
I don't know
JI - October 4, 2008
Doubles
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
So what's worse: Dane Cook commercials during the postseason or Frank Caliendo commercials during the postseason?
JLC - October 4, 2008
Dane Cook, easily.
Goose - October 4, 2008
The Cubs have been outscored 20-5 in this series.
Goose - October 4, 2008
That's bad!
JI - October 4, 2008
Yeah, it's Lou's fault Fukadome sucks
JI - October 4, 2008
I don't know who you are Corey Wade, but you'd better get a DP here.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Man he was pounding that outside corner.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
The color guy in the WSU / UCLA
makes Hendu sound like Vin Scully
JI - October 4, 2008
I can't find the strength to catch anymore WSU games this year. Ugh.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
If its the FSN NW team
It was Mack Strong.
If it was the Socal team it was probably Petros Papadakis one of the most annoying USC alum on TV.
bluemax - October 5, 2008
And of course Soriano swings at the first pitch.
Goose - October 4, 2008
God damn you Soriano
JI - October 4, 2008
Ok
this is why hitting Theriot second is retarded.
JI - October 4, 2008
But he's THE riot!
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
nevermind
JI - October 4, 2008
Ron Darling is a retard.
JI - October 4, 2008
Walk into that you hick
JI - October 4, 2008
Six. More. Outs!
Goose - October 4, 2008
Ah fuck
JI - October 4, 2008
I enjoy those highlife commercials even though the beer is crap.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Oh man Marmol mixed his pitches there, beautiful.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
I LOOOOOVVVEEEEE THIS TOOOOWWWNNNNN!!!!!
Goose - October 4, 2008
lolManny.
P Brady - October 4, 2008
yes yes yes
JI - October 4, 2008
The Cubs need to tie it so the Dodgers can walkoff in the bottom of the 9th.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Why the fuck is Manny still in the game?
JI - October 4, 2008
Hey, leadoff hitters produce runs too
JI - October 4, 2008
What happened?
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Derek Lee leadoff double.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Manny pull a Raul fielding it?
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
No. Ball was crushed, bounced off the wall.
Goose - October 4, 2008
No
but I think it’s the other way around.
JI - October 4, 2008
K! 5 outs
Goose - October 4, 2008
4 outs!
Goose - October 4, 2008
why are you a dodger fan when your other team is the dbacks?
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I'm an anti Cubs fan.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Hmmm. This seems a silly stance but ok.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
There are some things that need to remain static in baseball.
The Cubs not winning a World Series is one of them.
That and the Cubs are the Red Sox of the National League. It’s good for baseball if they continue to lose.
Goose - October 4, 2008
How bitter of a person do you have to be to count down outs to a team's hundredth year of futility?
JI - October 4, 2008
If I were bitter, wouldn't I be rooting against the Dodgers?
Goose - October 4, 2008
No
The Cubs losing is bad for baseball, it’s the same old shit all over again and that’s boring.
JI - October 4, 2008
Because the Red Sox winning was so good for baseball
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
It wasn't?
It was bad more me, but it was a godsend for the sport.
JI - October 4, 2008
I root for them to go to the Series.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Yay
JI - October 4, 2008
I could settle for them going to the Series, as long as they lost it in heartbreaking fashion.
But being humiliated by a team that won 13 games less than they did in the regular season is good enough.
Goose - October 4, 2008
Agreed on all points
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
They can still go to the WS .
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I'd rather get them gone early
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Besides I am rooting for Dodgers-Rays
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
This could be a problem.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
It's hard to be so incredibly wrong but you just succeeded.
JI - October 4, 2008
This would hurt my feelings if I ever took you seriously
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
I'm sure this is a lie anyway.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Says the person who claimed Pujols 03 > Bonds 03
JI - October 4, 2008
I said Pujols may have been better than Bonds that year
Based on a cursory look at wOBA, which was broken. So what?
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Because it was so batshit insane in the first place
JI - October 4, 2008
It led to wOBA being fixed, which made me happy
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
Which in turn also made me happy because wOBA is a useful tool
JI - October 4, 2008
Look, you both agree!
nOW GO drink and be merry.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I bet you've done enough for the both of us.
JI - October 4, 2008
No, caps got stuck. Was trying to fix that shift key issue.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I believe this 100%.
JI - October 4, 2008
This Wade guy is pretty dang good.
Never seen him pitch before, let alone heard of him.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Not even on Statcorner yet.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Uh
http://www.statcorner.com/pitcherRP.php?id=460677&team=LAN&year=2008&leag=MLB
Graham MacAree - October 4, 2008
He's not showing up under the Cubs roster.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Thats because he's a dodger
P Brady - October 4, 2008
There's a search function.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Well fuck me.....
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Wooooo!
JI - October 4, 2008
Ot would be pretty awesome if the Cubs tie it after Torre has churned through all these pitchers
JI - October 4, 2008
K! THREE MORE OUTS!
And since I have to leave for work, and I’m assuming the Cubs will go down easily in the 9th, I just wanna say one more time:
ONE HUNDRED YEARS! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!
Goose - October 4, 2008
Man alive thats a lot of fastballs up in the zone!
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Eck had his moments
I don’t think it hurts as much as it might.

Climbed the ladder, awesome. Some nice pitching here and there today.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn.....
The clock is about to strike midnight on the Cubs.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
At least this is proof baseball isn't fixed like the NBA is.
JI - October 4, 2008
BOOM bye bye Cubs.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Sad.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I was rooting for Lou, kind of a bummer.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
Whose failure is more tragic?
Mets or Cubs?
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Mets
Cubs will probably be back next season
JLC - October 4, 2008
I don't think you know what that word means.
JI - October 4, 2008
Uh...
Okay, asshole.
Wilder. - October 4, 2008
Knock it off
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Just change your username to Graham before you post
Then you can say whatever you want.
Garces - October 5, 2008
Neither of those teams failures is the least bit tragic.
JI - October 4, 2008
So Broxton is basically unhittable
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008

JLC - October 4, 2008
I am happy that Al Yellon is sad
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
As is/was Saito
JI - October 4, 2008
Also, fuck the Dodgers
they are somehow run worse than the Cubs
JI - October 4, 2008
I can't wait for Manny to sign with the Yankees
JI - October 4, 2008
At least there'll be baseball tomorrow
hopefully one of these series goes 5.
JI - October 4, 2008
May it be those giffable Angels
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Hopefully whoever moves on
will have their staff in shambles.

So you're saying you're cheering for the Angels?
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
Only if they do something giffable
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Still a bit traitorish.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 4, 2008
I'm switched sides mid game
I want that series to go 5, and I want the loser to have their resources exhausted.
JI - October 4, 2008
I still don't want them to win
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
Maybe when the Cubs finally win a Series we can become the new them
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
I was thinking about this earlier.
But we still have to get through Cleveland first.

We need more curses
JLC - October 4, 2008
Thanks for the happy thought, just what I needed. Waaaaaa.....

We're in line behind
Cleveland, Houston, and Washington*
JI - October 4, 2008
Texas* as well
JI - October 4, 2008
There's still that many? I had it in my head that the list was shorter than that.
dpseadv - October 4, 2008
This could be tough
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2008
We're still behind Texas, but Washington doesn't count
because their fans are new to the party, however if you could find someone who was a diehard fan of the first two Senators and is now a Nats fan…
JI - October 4, 2008
Though Houston and Cleveland have both been to the series lately
so one could make the argument that we’ve leapfrogged them.
JI - October 4, 2008
This
Has been a great day.
GO DODGERS!
Garces - October 5, 2008
A Century of Fail. Fantastic.
Now die Dodgers die!

To paraphrase that annoying slogan that Cubs fans came up with over at Fark: Cubs are finished. Book It. Done.
Goose - October 5, 2008
One more image and then I'm done laughing at the Cubs.
Goose - October 5, 2008
