I take the under

In the event of a tie this game should be decided by left fielder wind sprints

hilarity ensues

you have more confidence in Ibanez than I do

At some point entertainment takes precedence over winning

2 outs? Fuck you.

And 1 unintentional walk.

Death to the opposition!

Two outs hits do not intrinsically weight anything Dave,

so they therefore cannot be "worth their weight in gold"

He's going to strike out on this pitch

yes I'm aware its 2-0

A 2-0 count to Sexson

What is this, 2004? I didn't think Richie remembered how to take 2 pitches in a row.

SEXSON YESS!!!

FEHFQUIEGHEIUH!!!!!!!!!!!

KJAEHFOQE

RICHIE FUNK BLAST!!!!

I FELT IT COMING!!!!

how did you miss that?

someone is late to the party

my comment looks fucking retarted

Never mind

2-1

RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was that an 89 MPH fastball right down the middle

and RIchie swung right through it?

i was just about to bash richie for that. my bad

Fuck this Sexson is back

Fuck everyone who thought otherwise, including me.

If you select MLB audio

you get a trippy LSD-themed background to Dave Niehaus' call.

Is the opening day logo still on the field down the 1b line?

RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta have the funk!

RICHIE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never mind, again

2-run HR for Big Sexy

YWYYSSHJSJKSKJDCJK

FUCK MY PUSSY!!!

Pussy means

something else in Great Britan?

that was well-hit

My reverse jinx worked!!!

FUNK ME

LKSJDLKJSDKLGLSDLG

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FUCK YOU GARSHIT GARSHIT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I tried "RICHIE!!!!"

In the old thread and failed... soo....

RICHIE!!!

My shitty ass mlb.tv made that look caught.

*picking up my wireless mouse*

So basically there have been five batters in this inning and every one of them

has smoked the baseball

That was about as explected as Keeley Hazell blowing me.

I feel like I shouldn't know who that is but I do

Google her and thank me for introducing you to the bounty

I know who she is....reread my statement

Sorry, I was distracted by googling her.

You are not straight if you do not

I now stop watching this game to go to a movie with my girlfriend....

At least I leave on a happy note.

Wilkerson!

Cool.

incredbily, BEEEEEEEEG SEXXXXXXXXYY!1!!!!!1

Fuck yes, fuck yes, oh yesssssssss

Haha Garland is terrible.

BRADMAZING

Wilk!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen a Wilko hit before!

What next?

And Joe Wang wins a gift certificate to SuperCuts

Ter-Richie-ific?

Give that lady a raping.

RICHIE!

We're lucky that Jon Garland truly does suck.

Jon Garland should stop giving up line drives

and maybe he would suck less

Garland fails!

Yes!

John Garland 4 Cy Young.

richie yay

wow, that's a wonderful surprise to go with my free thai dinner tonight. woot!

Yeah, we're screwed.

Best swing he has had all year=Garland sucks.

And all of this wouldn't have happened

If their left fielder was decent

Kenji HR

I;m call ing it

you'll get it right one of these days

Angels signing Garland < Mariners signing Silva

By a landslide. Garland is terrible, Silva is adequate.

The Angels traded for Garland.

They actualy traded a pretty good player for him too

A player that fucking killed us too.

What Angel didn't fucking kill us last year?

My bad, but nevertheless

Yada

Except they didnt sign Garland they traded for him and are paying him nowhere near 48mil. But yes your right.

Lets see if Kenji can make it to the 3rd pitch of this at bat

well thats not good

All the Sexson shame

now is laid on the feet of Jon Garland. Good to see that someone sucks less than Richie.

A lot of guys suck less than Richie.

You want the ones that suck more

Well

I suck more than Richie now, for that poor word choice.

sucks more

that is

Royals rockin' the powder blues tonight

those are made of awesome

I might get a Guillen one.

keep it going Kenji!

He threw 5 pitches in the 4th!?

I am happy again now.

Please do not un-happy me, Mariners.

Lord knows we don't want to live to see that

For the love of God, M's, stay good!

Is he gonna talk about the roids he took?

Jon Garland could not be worse

Horacio Ramirez?

Garland's pretty close

I almost agree with you I guess

Garland's pitch selection:

1. Sinker that doesn't really sink
2. "changeup"
3. Waning fastball

Yes huh

Says Horacio

a fully healthy Ho is not that much worse

This is hilarious out of context

yeah, after it posted I realized that

Hola

Was that rumor that Ayala was somehow related to Lou P. true?

I heard he married into Lou's family

I heard that too - not sure if that was true or an excuse..

did Ho generate more swinging strikes last year?

no, 10% to 9%

but Horacio got groundballs.

You know what the best part of all this is?

Bedard starts tomorrow, so we can blow this game and still take the series. 1-2 punch eh?

Bedard is not 'Bedard' yet though.

We need to wait until June time for the man. So don't be too cocky.

silva is the body blow between the right hook and left hook to the face

the fat body blow...

Yeah

I don't want the M's blowing ANY games to the Angels. Let's hope we continue to under-suck thm for a few more innings.

That didn't help

don't blow it just yet, Carlos.

I liked Kotchman more when he had mono

WTF

Anyone else having problems with their internet tonight?

no

If I go outside and see a guy in a Comcast polo shirt

He might get piledriven through the sidewalk. This in-and-out internet is stupid and must be his fault :P

Kotchman can suck my dome.

That's a disturbing visual

And relatively weird

What the fuck?

After Carlos gets done sucking his.

fuck

dome means head

you know that right?

Dome does not mean Head.

You Yanks are crazyyyyyyyyy...

That's probably how he got mono

Lucky base hits up the corners....

OH GREAT WE SUCK AGAIN.

Silva getting smoked.

how did he hit that?

These hits are dumb

Kendrick and Kotchman are the only reason I am

still watching this game.

This is such a gripping pitching matchup

Good thing we have a good bull....

never mind

Sherrill with another save today

one run

Pop-up, Pop-up

Gotta love the Pop-up...when the other team hits them.

I can feel some back to back K's coming

I meant pop ups

You know whos pitching right?

yeah, felt like going out on a limb

I'll take popup groundout though! wooo silva

I'm really liking these infield pop-ups between the well-hit doubles

Thanks you huge moron

Cmon, lets strand these tuggers...

Just one more out...

AWESOMEEEEEEE

Silva! Garland! Sexson! Anderson!

It's the Battle to See Who Sucks Less! Only at Safeco Field!

My reverse jinx

for/against Big Sexy continues.

holy hell, Sexson made a play?

We're about to strand 2 more baserunners.

I can feel it.

Great feeling.

the force is strong with this one

Silva getting lucky

Like that day he signed a $48 Million contract?

I think Karma realized how ridiculously unfair to the Mariners that deal was

And is trying to correct it.

That must be so demoralizing for them

Let's hope they keep Garland in

It's soooo much fun teeing off on him on every pitch

Another professional start by Silva

6IP 3ER

and a lot of luck

christmas comes early for me this year

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

do they have ommegang on the west coast?

yes

i'm telling you

any visit to cooperstown must include stopping at the ommegang brewery

I can buy all these in my local grestedes

are any of them any good?

rare vos rare vos rare vos

three philos.

warning: do not drink the entire bottle on an empty stomach.

Tits domino.

Living in L.A. now

and I love that I can go to any grocery store or corner store and buy some hard liquor. I'm thinking about celebrating/drinking away my misery after this game.

Silva is made of win

and butter.

RICHIE!!!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A PLAY! Whew.. Silva wriggled off the hook

Nice work, Giant Silva

I still can't believe Sexson hit that homer.

I can't believe Keeley Hazell's are real

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

I can't believe her sex tape is so bad

Lol, well at least it was a GB base hit Gar

Moral victory

Dude Sims, Betancourt is not as good as you think he is.

Yuni is my best friend.

Yuni is an awesome #9 hitter

it's weird that our 9-1-2 part of the line up gets me

more excited than any other

Sure Betancourt is good

But he's not BIG TIME

Bigger time than you

Or Jon Garland

*laughs maniacally*

Nice range Erick.

Nice "ck" Erick

Yuni is a star in the making folks!

He said it himself

he's hitting in the 9 hole, and his defense isn't as great as it needs to be to be a superstar

What was that about a bad outfield?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

DEFENCESEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TYUNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

KRAKOW

FUNK MATTHEWS

WAAAAAAAAY TO GO

NOT TORII HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, see that sign in the background?

Bret Michaels coming to the Emerald Queen Casino.

No videotaping allowed.

Why did they leave Garland in?

Maybe because their bullpen sucks too

MY COCK JUST GREW WAYYYY BIG

Uh.....yeah....

If there ever was a line in GTE, your straddling it.

with his huge..,,

oh come on

that's the best one yet

yeah I pop boners with my guy friends all the time

I can't tell if this is legit or being forced

but it's a little frightening, what with it being April and all.

Yeah, seems forced to me.

Hence my comment.

We are already Fucking the Man

But you can have sloppy seconds

the level of homo-eroticism in LL is disturbing

Rule 1: you do not talk about GTE
Rule 2: you do not talk about GTE

I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE

YUNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ichiro!! and GMJ FOR THE WIN!!!

GOD I LOVE YOU YUNI!!!!

HAHA I love it

Yuni really is fun to watch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

50 MILLION DOLLARS

90 MILLON DOLLARS

SUCK IT LA FAGS

TAKE MORE DRUGS HGH.

Reggie Willits for everyday LF!

If Mathis blocked the plate like Joh did

it might have been a bit closer

yuni looks like hes having such a fun time

Love that outfield.

That was funnier than a Cathy comic strip.

Lol 1st to home on a single haha

I don't even understand how he missed that.

A little leaguer fields that ball.

*I* field that ball

And all of you know how I field.

man, these game thread are living up to their name

Does that count at a double or a single for Ichiro?

My knowledge of scoring those types of plays is still weak.

Single

Why not a double?

So I know for next time.

Wouldn't have made it to second if not for the error

Definitely single

1B, error CF

Is there any reason Yuni can't be a .320 hitter this year?

Lack of talent

Bunt?

Why bunt?

and no RBI

i dont believe

WHY THE FUCKING FUCKING FUCK ARE WE BUNTING HERE?

did sims just call yuni

'effervescent'???

impressively stupid Dave

STOP FUCKING BUNTING

Bunts are stupid.

Thanks Squinty.

What in the clits are we doing

STOP MAKING LOPEZ BUNT

That made no fucking sense.

Puh?

And they rip on Ichiro for doing that with RISP...

Thanks, McLaren

this situation calls for one run and one run only.

Jesus Christ I am an idiot..

I rewound my TiVo to see the Richie HR and forgo to go back to live.. and here I was wondering how everyone was ahead of me!

Fear Raul

Angels feel it.

Yes. Yes we do.

The fuck was the point of that?

pad our IBB lead?

What's the LI on that?

Or was it WPA

I can't remember my acronyms.

McLaren wants to drive the point home

It's the type of managing that requires no thinking

That's McLaren's specialty!

Why bunt with none out?

That doesn't make any fucking sense.

Your knowledge is superior to our manager's

OH NO THEY AREN'T

KING AWESOME SHALL SMITE YE

MARK LORETTA GETS THAT BUNT DOWN BETTER

C'mon King Awesome

Wow, who could have predicted this?

Listening to Dave and Blowers knob that idiotic fucking decision makes me despair at the human condition

Nice

F U Figgins

WHAT?! THAT WAS FAIR!!!!

BULLLLLLLLSHIT

I rescind.. that was foul

On replay, it was the correct call.

The Angels are like a little league team

Is this reliever any good?

Not familiar with him.

Nobody's familiar with him

Not even his mother

O'Day: Hi Mom
Mom: Who the fuck are you?
O'Day:

FOUL?!?!?!?!

3B caught the ball right at the bag. Bad call.

He did snag it foul

Three run bomb time.

hate to break it you....

Oh fuck you ump

wtf

Beltre Funk to make up for that

Damn

That was almost awesome

Figgins you lucky moron.

Fans want a balk

3-4-5 hitters: "meat in the middle" LOL

Ugh,

That's our Beltre.

Haha Beltre

wtf... overeager

Uhhh... Whatcha swingin at?

And there was the first K of the game!

Good thing Lopez bunted!

Ok, who took the over?

Are you serious?

God fucking damn it

foul, then no balk, then that. Fuck you, fate.

Well

at least Turbo is here to save us!!!

pretty sure it wasn't even close to a balk

yeah, I know

I can never tell what a balk is

it's the dumbest rule in baseball

Sausage cock to the rescue?

Professional sausage cock.

You mispronouncd his name

what is he swinging at?

LOW UMP FUCK SAKE

And oh ya,

That was the first strikeout of the game.

Professional hitter, Ladies and Germs.

That was

the most professional pop fly I've ever seen.

Don't worry, Vidro has been killing us all day.

It only seems like he's killing you because you don't expect him to do anything

holy balls we have offense today

c'mon you tub of lard get us some more

well shit

that was an exciting inning for only one run

Dammit GMJ gave me hope

but it was too weak

portland timbers?

ruck you portland, we have an MLS team.

haha Timbers suck

That was quite the route for HGH.

And this is supposed to be his natural position

Just about as natural as his 2006.

Much like falling is the natural reaction to stepping off a cliff.

At least the bunt paid off

How did we score only one again there?

Oh yeah I remember now, because we bunted with none out!

Muppet.

GMJ should never play CF again.

I'd be fine with him playing CF

whenever we play you guys

Thank god we bunted there.

In retrospect, the bunt was a fucking retarded idea

Well, not in retrospect.....It was pretty retarded while it was happening too

McLaren cost his team a run

with that fucking bunt. I'd hope the M's would acknowledge this when evaluating their manager, but they probably won't.

Bad feeling about this inning...

probably because Silva has been sucking for the last 5 innings straight

and he's just been getting lucky

Aren't you just a room full of naked 17 year olds today

I always get my fill of science from the Fox Sports channel

Fuck you Figgins

Regress already

That pitch is not a strike.

Pitch count on Giant Silva?

Random hot pussy shot

Not bad

That's a legitimate base hit.

What?

Sorry, I thought you said it was a pussy hit.

My bad.

I believe he meant random hot pussy shot

as in.. random hot chicks on tv

you've lived in the northwest too long, my son.

And yea, I see girls on these broadcasts and love living in Arizona.

We're white, and pasty

I've learned to deal with it

Yep, very bad feeling...

God I hate Figgins

GMJ

is craptastic so far. Which mean he'll hit a 2-run bomb right now.

the reverse jinx works for GMJ

and Sexson. It is attracted to suckiness.

He's calling a low strike here.

everyone look at this guy!

GIDP

I LOVE GMJ!

Figgins sliding a bit early no?

Screen Shot please and caption!

HAHAHAHAHA

SADDEST SLIDE EVER

DP again.

Alrighty then.

okay, I'll say it. Besides the awesome awesome throw

Ichiro looks like he's let two balls fall in today.

I was thinking that too... but I didn't want to say it out loud.

HGH is an out enhancer too

Hehe, Panther of the game:

HGH allied with Garland.

i find myself really rooting for Silva

but i root for the crabs on Deadliest Catch, so.

They never fight back

come on, you badly outnumber them!

I would root for them

but they are mighty tasty.

I love you Matthews

never change

Which jersey will be more popular

Raul or Felix?

I think

I'm going to buy a GMJ jersey now!

Opponent contribution: 50%.

45% by GMJ.

We'll make sure to send him some thank-you HGH

Defense wins championships

Hyphen warming up.

"Carlos still in great shape"

I can't think of a joke for that comment.

I think that comment is the joke.

Round is a shape

sort of... haha

Man, Silva has had The Luck today.

Hey look, a real CF.

Matthews with 3 DP's today

Ichiro with 3 DP's in 2007

HAHAHA

That's it.. just HAHAHA

Oh shit I mistyped

Ichiro had 7. >:(

crowd does look sizeable

Not real fans: no wave yet.

They just wanted the sould patch.

*soul

ugh.

And they've booed loud enough to make Tampa Bay proud

I think that was low even on me Tim

One more inning for Silva?

Two relievers getting loose indicates no, but could be a precautionary move to warm them up.

Sure, why not?

I don't think he'll do any worse than our bullpen.

John Garland's K/9 is 0.50

BUT HE IS AN ACE!

Just ask HH!

Isn't that Silva's job?

Sexson returns to sucking

I should have predicted a strikeout a little bit sooner.

Why'd Richie swing at those?

coulda been 3-0

Start Silva in the 8th?

I say yes... Mac says nuh uh. (probably)

I'd say no

What's his pitch count? must be high, dont wanna press our luck

Under 100 I think.

90.

Yea he needs to go back out there at 90..

I think

the fat slob can handle another inning, then.

That's it?

Hasn't he given up like.. 11 hits?

We must be the only team in baseball dumb enough

to bat a guy who can legitimately hit .325 7th while batting a career .250 hitter second.

GMJ wins championships

For any team playing the Angels

Clearly you haven't been around us too much lately =(

Five words - Carlos Silva forty eight million

Yes, batting average is the most important stat

Kendrick projects around an .820 OPS

GMJ's is around .750. Happy?

Haven't you learned anyting

The number 2 hitter only needs to know how to BUNT, that's it, speed is a plus too

Our offence sucks

their defense sucks worse

People who thought the Tigers would jog to the playoffs:

People that do not understand pitching and defense.

Who the hell thought Detroit would win 100 games?

the people who thought they would score 1,000 runs?

These people also thought the Lakers were already NBA champs when they picked up Malone and Payton

Mike Blower's drinking budies.

At least we got to hear Sims express contempt for The Bloggers!

Sims likes bloggers

It seemed out of place.

I think he's just expressing surprise over how bad the Tigers have been

Man, Safeco looks awesome still.

Set a new standard if they make it to the series after starting 2-9? Huh?

Yo Joh!

Hitting is half the battle

G I JOOOOOEEEEEE!

Hey, Kid...

I'm a computer...fix computer. Stop with all the downloading.

"Base hit for Joh!! Good for him!"

Patronizing son of a bitch.

Exact same reaction I had

Jesus, Kenji, hit the ball in the air once in awhile

Highest FB% of his career

Yeah, he just looks like he's not making clean contact.

Everything straight up or in the dirt.

The power pitch needs new batteries.

wtf is an 'attitude knock'

That's what happens right after the wife talks back

Comments like these are why I heart game threads

Okay Carlos

please summon your unholy magic for a just a little bit longer.

it's helps

when Garrett Anderson's rotting corpse is at the plate

Urghh the wave is here.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The wave

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

But we invented it!

Then Seattle must burn.

Anderson's bat speed couldn't knock over Robert

GA for the Hall

he had 10 rbis in a game last year

so, he's pretty much mvp caliber

Stop doing the damn wave

We unleashed it upon the world

and now we must suffer the consequences

I heart unexpected CG.

McLaren

must have promised an extra cheeseburger is Carlos pitched well tonight.

"This guy can pitch!"

CG fot Thief?

for*

//stole 52 from GS52 (before we knew he was being traded)
///and $48 million...

Kendrick Kotchman Napoli need to be moved to the

middle of the order apparently. -_-;

Let Giant Silva finish

Silva in the 9th!

But please have Hyphen or Lowe warmed up just in case.

Send Silva for the 9th?

I would

Yes, but have a lefty and righty warm.

Note to McClusterfuck: Not EOF and Baek.

"Doctor doctor send me the news!"

I'm glad Sims is making so much sense tonight.

There is a lot about this game that makes little sense.

Doctor, Doctor

Send him to a mental institution.

He's got a bad case of being a clueless dork

"Dr., Dr., send me the news?"

What the fuck?

it ain't Eazy

being Greazy!

'Dr. Dr. Send me the news?'

Dave Simms sucks, or maybe he has a crush on Silva.

Or both.

I guess I should be lucky I'm watching the L.A. broadcast

but that means I'm stuck with Rex Hudler. Puke.

This is beyond hilarity

"Doctor doctor send me the news!"

Sims has reached new levels of ridiculousity tonight

He's got a bad case of loving SILVA

Needs more innuendo, less whatever that is

Nuts, it worked last night.

98 pitches, let him go for the CG

so

GMJ so worth his 10mil per

Giant Silva contract > GMJ contract

Pending health

Just like Sexson is worth 15.5 mil.

your handle

its nasty. reminds me of AK

AK?

My handle is both malicious and delicious.

And cheesy. Mmmm...cheese.

Well, his avatar isn't exactly G-rated, either...

4 quotes and counting...

I'm pretty sure

the M's hitters can't take runs off the scoreboard, right?

Oh cool, we get to see Zack Greinke on LL Night

Sorry Sexson.

I wish I knew where that wrist cutting emoticon is

Where's Robert when we need him?

zero K-s

saberdweebs shitting their pants right now

I hope Silva doesn't K anyone in the 9th

The difference is if Silva does that we recognize the luck factor, whereas if Garland did it HH would hand Garland a Cy young

good for zach greinke.

I always wanted him to pan out.

that's a good song

Dave Sims fucking rules.

he certainly knows how to appeal to his target demo

Can you imagine a Dave Sims and a Kevin Levine broadcasting duo?

Sims and Gus Johnson

I am currently pleased that I stayed up to watch this.

Kudos to you my friend.. I am impressed

Ichiro fishing for the second night in a row...

I had to leave, and I was disappointed not to see the "HOLY SHIT RICHIE!" picture here when I got back

You people let me down. Fuck you people.

My internet keeps crapping out

On second thought, I guess you're all pretty cool.

M's take the series? Fuck yeah.

ICHIRO HURTS THIS- I can't even pretend that matters

That's a big FU for making me bunt

'Pez is hitting well.

I prefer this new 2B we have to the one last year.

It almost feels like

Jose gets a hit every AB

Stop doubting Ichiro, you bastards.

any other guys

feel that smeg's avatar is way too distracting? I'm trying to watch a game here

Turn them off.

Punch yourself in the groin everytime you look at it

Imagine how they'd emasculate you if you actually talked to them in real life.

Same effect

Suicide girls?

No, just a random worksafe image of two girls hugging.

that avatar is a welcome counterbalance

to the rampant LL homoeroticism

Jose Lopez is just awesome

Safeco needs more people with Venezuelan flags

Yeah I need to buy one ASAP

Wow, Silva lives up to his reputation today

1. Doesn't walk guys: Check
2. Eats innings and doesn't give the game away: Check
3. Pitches to contact: Big Check

Still not worth the $$, but not as bad as we've all convinced ourselves

Bulger

Any relation to the shitty Rams QB?

Apparently the fourth row is too far back for the naked eye

Angels fan, what do you expect??

Do you even watch teh game, Jeff?

or do you just look behind the batters?

I've been watching that guy all game waiting for him to do something stupid

NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST RAUL!

RAUL ON FIRE!!!!!!!!

JESUS RAUL!!

I SPELL FUNK WITH 7 U'S

WTF RAUUUULLL

AMAZIN!

RAUUUUUUUUL

RAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

that is all.

Raul Ibanez = Angel Slayer

RAUL IBANEZ IS BATMAN

CORPSE BLAST BYAHHHHHHH

Bulgar is my type of (opposing) pitcher

NEVER AGAIN MAKE FUN OF RAUL'S HITTING

I wish we had this all of last year.

no fucking way

can we keep this guy?

RAUL's GONNA KILL YOU!

....

I can't remember the last time Raul didn't crush the ball

GOD DAMN RAUL!!!

What has gotten into him?

RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

You know what, screw the L, you get all U's tonight

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH OUTSIDE FASTBALLS

That's beautiful, dad.

That was just crushed

Way out the zone as well ... insane.

Angel killer!

Adam Jones hits a grand slam

in that situation

U

U get yer U's back.

Angel Slayer!

If Raul slugs .700, it makes up for his defense:

T/F

I like this Raul much better than 2007 Raul

*Headdesk*

Seriously, everytime someone here complains about Ibanez for the rest of the year, I'm bringing up this series.

We all like his offense

Could Vidro play LF?

uh

It can't be worse than Raul, right?

Would we be better if they switched 'positions'?

Raul does... Figure anyone else can right?

absolutely

Only in the sense that I could play LF

If Raul had it his way

He would DH.

We love Raul

We just don't love his knees

BELTRE 4 JESTER

Beltre would love our Game Threads I think.

His hitting is the perfect companion for our GTE.

LET GIANT SILVA FINISH

Vidro trying out the Ichiro style of pitching.

Err, batting.

I'm gonna go punch myself in the face now.

Raul Ibanez is beating the baseball like it owes him money or something

No save op

give Carlos the CG.

McLaren disagrees.

Raul has a very round head.

Not pointy. That's unusual.

I love

that FSN down here is talking about the Angels winning a championship during a commercial. Very timely, especially when losing to a division rival.

Raul is also the least athletic looking professional athlete.

Carlos Silva

begs to differ

David Eckstein?

Mo Vaughn.

Bartolo Colon?

David Ortiz? Greg Maddux right now at age 50?

Someone needs to record a soundbyte...

Of the old Yahoo! sound, but with Rauuul!

or not.

I love relaxed games like this.

And what greater humiliation than a Silva CG for the Angels?

oh well

Sean Green

It wouldn't have been the first time.

I told you Silva owns the Halos.

No Silca CG

:(

Why.. Why not let Silva go CG

Green again?

Serious? Just use Baek.

Oh eat a dick Squinty

He just had to pull Silva.

WHY IS SILVA NOT IN THERE?

Also, Green stresses me out.

Yeah, lets pitch a guy who pitched yesterday...

Or O'Flaherty. Let him toss in some low leverage innings

why Green?

let Silva, Beak or EOF finish this.

Felix goes 117 pitches when he's scuffling

Silva's cruising and gets pulled at 98.

Good Lord the Angels suck donkey dick.

100 PITCHES IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY PHYSICS

Even in victory Squinty does something retarded

Is it like...

Sturtze:Torre::Green:McLaren

8 runs with Ichiro and Beltre not doing much

Pretty good.

Beltre: 2 2B hits

Uh he doubled twice

Felix for 117 pitches when its close

But Silva can't go over 100 when it's 5 run difference with one inning to go

I think Squinty just hates complete games.

At least Silva gets a win and 8 solid innings for one of my fantasy teams

Do K's not count in your league?

I think I have enough of those

His purpose is to ring up IPs, cull WHIP, ERA and get wins.

McLaren is smart

He didn't want to risk Silva throwing a strikeout.

that's kind of a ridiculous slider

Strikeout

yay for the 1st m's one tonight

Button up your damn jersey

SIT THE FUCK DOWN YOU PIKEY SCUM.

K

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A STRIKEOUT!

Memo to Napoli

Button up your uniform, you dirtbag.

BEAT LA! BEAT LA!

fucking M's are making me like them again

Team Grease

LOOK AT THIS THE UMPS SCREWED THE ANGELS AGAIN

I don't know how it is for everyone else

But Mariners games/wins are probably the thing look most forward to every day....

"I" look most forward to

does the Moose costume has a tongue attached?

that's disturbing.

TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

YES! PAST A DIVING RICHIE SEXSON!

I've been waiting for one of those tonight.

past a diving Sexson

That was a tough play.

nevertheless it was past a diving Sexson

For an invalid

Wrong, I was there. When you watch from RF, you can see how bad of a jump he gets.

On TV, the camera cuts just in time to see him missing it. Trust me, he blew it. Again.

It wasn't a "diving" Richie Sexon, Rex

it was a "falling" Richie Sexson.

Lefty up, activate Green ineffectiveness

Glad Raul hit that dinger now.

If he hadn't

Silva might have been left in the game. That probably would have been preferable.

Green looks nice

So very nice in his tight pants

God what I wouldn't give to be a broadcaster for just one day

Dave: "that third out is always the hardest isn't it?"
Me: "no."
Dave: ...
Me: ...
Dave: ...
Me: "it's like any other out."

I heart fake conversations

you are at the right website

Dave and Graham

Dave: That third out is always the hardest isn't it?
Graham: Wrong.

I'd have gone for 'No'

What the fuck is this bullshit?

Well at least GMJ can't hit into a DP this time

Damn

there goes Gary's chance at the record books.

PUT IN JJ YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

JJ is on the DL.

Thanks for that.

Is Figgins really good or is he overachieving?

the latter

Fcuking Figgins

the game is over, just give up you little shit.
Hooray for GMJ

People seem to be holding off from posting due to nervousness.

nah we just have our 'WOOO' posts queued up

It's cool we just wanted to embarrass GMJ again

This is why I said Green stresses me out.

Here comes

the 3-run bomb

Green cannot get lefties out

Seriously why is Green pitching

Green doesn't pitch to lefties

And now GMJ can end this game fittingly

by grounding to second for the 5th time in a row.

So Green completely blows against lefties, huh?

His fastball seems to tail away though, i don't understand why he would suck against them.

Sean Green has no second pitch to LHB

He has a second pitch?

I though he just did a slurvy fastball from 87-89 mph the whole time?

he has a ridiculous frisbee slider

that he uses to K all the RHB, but if he used it against a LHB, it would hit them

He has no first pitch to them either

Every pitcher has the suck pitch

It can never be easy, can it?

Better save your good stuff, Sean

You're going tomorrow too.

Yea, this is kinda pointless.

HE IS NOT GOING TO HIT THAT

JUST THROW SOME OFFSPEED SHIT IN THE WHEELHOUSE AND PRAY HE SUCKS AGAIN

GODAMNIT DIE ALREADY!

WHY MUST YOU FAIL WITH TWO STRIKES?

don't walk him you spineless invertabrate

put in RRS or LOWE

STOP FOULING!!!!!!

This is pissing me off.

Finally

the reverse jinx comes through

I just got home.

Judging by the GTE, Green is struggling to get people out.

This is absolutely agonizing

TAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEE!!!!!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!

This like death by one million pokes in the eye

Are these guys fouling pitches on purpose??

M's WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

well, he tried to groundout to 2nd!

GAME OVER!!

Bout time.

FUCKING FINALLY

YES GAME OVER

no THROWING ERROR YES!!

Green looks relieved lol

Finally! Game over!

The series is ours!

WOOOOOO!!!!

Bedard for the sweep!

BALL GAME BITCH ESSSSS

Yay!

Series win against the rats of Anahiem.

FINALLY

I COMMEND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A PERSISTENT FUCKER BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT. LEARN HOW TO PITCH TO LHB'S, YOU FUCKSTICK

Hooray! Time for victory Ice Cream

THANK YOU FOR ENDING IT

Goodnight everyone!

4:45 AM? respec'

Hooray victory!

Even though I only saw the last at-bat.

Simms: "Happy Happy, Joy Joy"

Shutup, Simms.

A R&S reference is always welcome.

Bedard for the SWEEP!

BALLGAME!!

SERIES WIN!!

Green's reaction was classic, we still love you.

That ending

took some of the fun out of a great M's victory.

happy happy joy joy

Ha someone else caught that.

'Bout time

go 4 sweep tmrow, kthxbye

In case you missed it earlier, you suck GMJ.

Okay

Green's expression at the end was hilarious.

Someone has that as a screencap, right?

It happened too quickly

Hopefully Bedard can get his shit together tomorrow

It'd be just as satisfying,

If we could crunch them with mediocre or average Bedard

Bedard and Saunders will be a joy

Knowing we already won the series and can nail them with a sweep.

Oh, the beauty

Krueger was practically tearing at Raul's pants

He couldn't wait to slob his knob in the postgame comments.

Nice eyeroll, Shawn

nice win.

Oh my god, they're interviewing Sexson in the postgame.

See you at the PARK tomorrow

So Oakland is at 8-4 now?

Uh-oh....

Sausage cock it is.

Congrats Vidro, you have a new 18+ nickname.

big debate over on uss mariner

"is Raul slow?"

New studies indicate that in fact...yes, he is.

This is one stretched on re-cap on FSN

Carlos Silva is dominating my TV screen

Damn I thought it was my TV capture card acting funny.

HAha, replay of Silva drapping ball while trying to "juggle" it

was pretty funny

GMJ

Wow, I want to see the percent that Gary Matthews hurt the Angels. 3 GIDPs and a run scoring error, and two other harmless groundouts to add. Awesome

GARY MATTHEWS JR HURTS THE ANGELS AND GETS PAID FOR IT

Sweetness

Venezuela flags - 3' by 5', 10 bucks a piece, 80 bucks for 10. Anyone interested? Having a bunch of those at a Felix day/night would be sick.

that would be awesome

This needs to be done

(works for Lopez and Silva too)

linky here

http://www.united-states-flag.com/ven3x5pol.html
if anyone knows where to get 'em cheaper yell at me

I believe this is a wonderful idea

and should be executed immediately.

I'm not in Seattle till mid May

so if someone else in town now wants to organize it that'd prob be better. I'd buy one though

White people are allowed to do this right

It's cool, I speak Spanish and I'm pretty tan

I'm half Cambodian.

That's close, right?

Sounds like a great idea to me

Mariners at .500

Sweet.

Carlos Shiva

So very fucking disturbing.

Blame Last Fan of Jose Lopez

I am just the conduit through which he speaks

Oh my god.

Four arms and none of them with an out pitch

The trident arm has a killer split finger

But it is busy holding ... well, you know ... a trident.

Special Ability: Banning strikeouts from the game.

The trident's a nice touch

This is genius

This needs to be added to the LL list of pictures posthaste.

The trident is a godly (har!) touch. Touches on both classical mythology AND M's tradition.

Well done credibly photoshopping those arms in.

Damn...I really really love this pic.

You make the most fucking awesome pictures. Bravo.

I laughed my self to sleep after seeing that picture last night, bravo.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeep

Fuck the Angels!

Great win. Now its Canadians FTS

And Canadiens FTS

Was that ever really in doubt?

Ten games, zero leads

Hi-larious.

When was the last time that Boston beat the Habs?

1985?

How did Boston even make it?

Boring hockey is more successful than Panthers hockey

Did I miss any good GTE today?

EnglishMariner was about five degrees from Dahmer early on

He seems to have a monopoly on GTE.

I was angry at times, but nothing compared to the JJ Putz BS.

Oh my GOD I just saw the greatest commercial ever.

Sweet Lou was in an Aquafina spot.

Lou: i'M ONLY OUT HERE SCREAMING AT YOU BECAUSE THE FANS EXPECT ME TO!

Ump: I TOTALY UNDERSTAND!

Lou: I'VE GOT A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD SO CAN YOU THROW ME OUT OF THE GAME?

Just found the video.

Enjoy

Made of Awesome

I miss Lou's rage.....

I wonder how Squinty would handle a terrible call......Crying maybe?

I refuse to believe that Squinty was Lou's protege.

ok, I'm gonna get a replica Rays jersey

should I go Pena or Sonnanstine?

I'm worried that if I get Sonnanstine people are gonna think it's my last name and not a real player.

I think you shouldnt et a replica

but

sonnanstine.

$250 vs $90. If it was an M's jersey I'd spend the money

I just can't spend that much on a jersey for a team that isnt my favorite.

Sonnanstine.

Because it's a fucking cool name.

the people have spoken

a Sonnanstine jersey will be purchased.

to those who went to this game

How was the parking? Had to of been brutal with the Dalai Lama at Qwest Field at the same time

Found a space easily in the Qest parking lot.

Just checking in because I"m incredibly drunk.

Fuck yeah, go Sexie!!! Wait. What? Yeah, okay. Fuck. Right. oky. Bye.

I like how this place is becoming a weekend hotspot

LL is better than a night club

it doesn't judge by what I am on the outside.

I am WAAAAAASTED.

And the first thing I thought to do, after my girlfriend retired for the evening, was to check the gamethread.

But I'm not lame, because I play in a rock band.

Right?

Right?

Guys?

So am I barred from commenting in these now?

Though I heard about this earlier

I'm also not clear what the 18+ thing is about. I missed something.

nm. the original game thread explains it

I can read. Honest.

Sounds like jest to me.

What?

It was a joke. I've just realized that people should probably be warned about what they're getting into by clicking on a game thread.
