Miguel fucking Olivo
that's all you need to know. This game was an epic fail.
David Piper - April 14, 2008
Here's the write up:
R.A. Dickey is really cool. The Mariners are not.
SethGrandpa - April 14, 2008
Crosby is Exhibit A of a cockgobbler
dbroncos31 - April 14, 2008
...hate...Crosby...
Jeff Sullivan - April 14, 2008
*I Doesn't know shit about hockey*
Isn't Crosby the guy who is supposed to make me care about Hockey?
PhilKenSebben - April 14, 2008
Yes, but that is because Gary Bettman is a goddamn retard.
You should be excited about Alex Ovechkin and Mike Richards
/Flyer fan
But seriously Crosby is a giant whining pussy
dbroncos31 - April 14, 2008
hey i heard he can bounce a puck on his stick
that is pretty cool
Jordan of Boise - April 14, 2008
eh, call me back when there is a local rooting interest.
PhilKenSebben - April 14, 2008
Crosby is only 20
He's a day older than my brother.
Fin - April 14, 2008
I don't think I've heard a single hockey fan
who didn't like Ovi
ningwers - April 14, 2008
Exactly.
My team is playing his in the playoffs and I can’t even hate him.
Even if I was a Pens fan I would probably be annoyed with Crosby’s pansiness
dbroncos31 - April 15, 2008
My team is also in the playoffs and we have him on our side!
And I most assuredly hate all the Flyers. Perhaps if you had Ovi I would have cautious respect for the man (/child). The way the last day of the season turned out I was worried about my Caps having to play the Flyers as you guys got a pretty good team up there.
Considering I’m also a M’s fan, it’s been a lean fews years and I’m totally prepared for the inevitable collapse. Color me happy with team but somewhat pessimistic on their chances. This year anyway.
Ovechkin is ours for the next 13 years and you can’t have him.
Edanger6 - April 15, 2008
Hahahaha yeah I really can't hate you guys.
Yeah I think you guys might have a letdown after playing playoff games for the last month, but I’ve been wrong before.
Also, while he obviously isn’t as good as AO, I feel the same way about Richards. I’m so glad to have him locked up longterm.
It’s really too bad we’re playing each other, as there aren’t any other East teams I don’t want to die painful deaths. (Sorry Jeff)
dbroncos31 - April 15, 2008
Yeah Seriously.
I like the Sens but OMG what a collapse. Montreal also, as they play a really good game. Everyone else aside from My Caps can go fuck themselves. And Cindy Crosby is a WATB (Whinny Ass Titty Baby)
I miss the old Patrick Division
Fuck You Gary Bettman.
Edanger6 - April 15, 2008
He really does like an absolute vagina.
I know jack shit about him, but he just looks like a crybaby.
Teej - April 14, 2008
*look* like
Teej - April 14, 2008
Meanwhile, Ovechkin
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
Like the jersey
Matthew - April 15, 2008
Ovechkin looks like an old-school hockey player.
Also, I love that he has such energy for the game.
Obviously I want them out of the playoffs, but AO is a better player, IMO, than Crosby and 1000000000000X more manly.
dbroncos31 - April 15, 2008
Don't worry, he is

Proof of his douchebaggery.
redwolf75 - April 15, 2008
LIES
Ovechkin
Jeff Sullivan - April 14, 2008
all the cool kids hate Crosby
GarlicFryCubFan - April 14, 2008
During the second inning
I decided to play computer games instead.
It was an equivalent waste of time, but infinitely more enjoyable.
Jordan of Boise - April 14, 2008
Counter-strike by any chance?
Wilder. - April 14, 2008
Still a better write-up than anything you read on HH.
Not that I read HH. I get my info from visiting Angels fans... as do most of us.
Wilder. - April 14, 2008
At the very least, there were some funny stories from pseudo LL night.
Before the game I got Joey Gathright to sign my ticket. I asked him to write "Mad Hops" underneath his name. He got to "Mad h" and started laughing, said he couldn't do it, then gave it back to me. Trey Hillman signed for me too and talked to Deanna and I listened/threw in some quips. Trey's a really cool guy.
In the 3rd inning, since the seats were so empty, we moved down to my normal seats in RF and started heckling Guillen. They were putting fun "Mariner Facts" on the screen, so I'd yell things like "HEY GUILLEN! KENJI'S FAVORITE SNACK IS TOAST WHAT'S YOURS?" and when they stopped it became "Come on Jose I need more fun facts help me out!" and then things like "Do you prefer paper or plastic!?" I was starting to have to make things up. Am I missing anything particularly funny? Fill in if I missed any good moments Gomez, Deanna....
In the 9th Jose came out and was looking around. I waved, he waved back. I asked him again what his favorite snack was and he turned around and just shrugged. I then said "Hey, if you guys have to win at least thank Zack for the Fantasy start!" he waved his hand. Then I yelled one more "Kill the Angels for us Jose!" He nodded emphatically, and all of us cheered. Jose Guillen is still awesome. Most fun I've had at a terrible, terrible, loss.
By the way, I apologize for the Olivo homer. I totally called it :(
BrettJMiller - April 14, 2008
Sounds like fun
You missed a pretty good game thread, but I would've rather been at the game even if it was a loss.
Fin - April 14, 2008
That was the "Babe Ruth 1921" of game threads.
JI - April 14, 2008
I still think the Pre-Felix-Day thread where Coach went mental was funnier
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
The "Bonds 2004" of gamethreads?
link?
JI - April 15, 2008
Oh, that just happened.
and WRONG
JI - April 15, 2008
Well I'm glad to see you don't just use the blogs for all your opinions
And can think for yourself.
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
I can choose which blogs choose my opinions for me.
JI - April 15, 2008
You're got the wrong guy!
But yeah, either way, the statistics tell me you’re wrong.
Garces - April 15, 2008
I know it was you
Also, when did I become a damn stathead?
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
Ever since you began consuming pop tarts as your primary food source.
JI - April 15, 2008
Who needs food?
Tea and soy milk is way cheaper.
I wish that was a joke.
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
If you were American I would feel obligated to make a gay joke.
(Also, the one time I use a capital letter and a period—and I can’t even get off a full sentence).
JI - April 15, 2008
I jokingly suggested during one AB that someone, I forget who, was going to go deep.
It might have been Peña, per the Pablo Ozuna Postulate. Brett said he would kill me if it came to pass. I said if Peña put a ball in play, in the air, I was preemptively leaping from my seat and running for my life.
Gomez - April 15, 2008
"With Washburn unable to perform"
"The Dickey Knuckler came in to finish the job"
CapSea - April 14, 2008
revenge game for Olivo
I shoulda known...
Wyoming is Royals Country now
Freneau - April 14, 2008
We won't miss you Laramie
Jeff Sullivan - April 14, 2008
We dont lose flavor country right?
Robert - April 14, 2008
Dickey for setup man
When Putz gets back our bullpen can have a 1-2 cockpunch
Nick S - April 14, 2008
RA Dickey & JJ Putz?
Baseball Players or Book Authors?
Fin - April 14, 2008
I am happy to see Dickey and Norton do well the last two days.
They were my favorites from spring training. Morse and Cairo were not.
hcoguy - April 15, 2008
not sure why I replied.
hcoguy - April 15, 2008
dammit I did it again.
hcoguy - April 15, 2008
Dammit you did it again
dbroncos31 - April 15, 2008
Fuck so did I
dbroncos31 - April 15, 2008
Sorry to pour salt on the wound
but what exactly happened to the Sens? Were the first 20 games a fluke?
/uninformed hockey noob
Mariner John - April 15, 2008
I don't want to talk about it
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
Turns out Gerber is not good
and Emery is a nut case.
For the noobs.
Gerber and emery are their “goalies”
Before the Capitals were “good” we were 4-0 when no one else in the east had a winning record against them.
Edanger6 - April 15, 2008
I know who the players are
just not why they became a .500 team.
Mariner John - April 15, 2008
heatly, spezza and alfie were injured
for various times during the season, and then their goalies had a precipitous regression, and then they lost any sort of momentum and confidence. Sound Familiar?
Edanger6 - April 15, 2008
Top line got hurt
depth players didn’t step up, goaltending was inconsistent (although Gerber’s been terrific lately), defense has Redden.
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
Depth players REALLY didnt step up
I mean, Antoine Vermette, when you get a chance to get big minutes stop fucking up.
They should have let Emery play.
PShwa - April 15, 2008
Emery didn't earn it
His time in Ottawa is up, and I’m not particularly upset about that.
Vermette finished strong, but they’re going to have a decision to make this offseason about him, since he’s an RFA. I’m really excited for this offseason, though. The talent that took them to the Cup is still there. They just need to fit the right pieces around it. Re-sign Stillman please.
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
I'm sad about Emery
Although I came to the realisation that he’s a pretty bad keeper about 3 months ago, I still love the guy to death.
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
The Buffalo brawl is one of my greatest hockey memories ever
but I think it’s safe to say that Ray Emery showed the most passion for things that weren’t his job. Oh well.
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
Yeah :(
Graham MacAree - April 15, 2008
I can't wait to watch a whole season of Bass, Foligno, and the General
ningwers - April 15, 2008
I don't find Foligno all that exciting
but Bass rocks. In time perhaps he’ll allow us to get rid of that knucklehead Neil.
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
I wasn't all that hot on Nick either until last night
I’m still not completely sold, but I think the potential is there
ningwers - April 15, 2008
He sure is one ugly son of a bitch
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
I think the success of incredibly ugly men is one of things that makes hockey so great
ningwers - April 15, 2008
Ricci! Ricci! Ricci! Ricci!
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
So basically they're a one line team whose one line got hurt?
Mariner John - April 15, 2008
...pretty much
although in their defense that one line was kind of the best line in hockey.
Jeff Sullivan - April 15, 2008
That only made the fall all the more spectacular
ningwers - April 15, 2008
This game
Was like a 9 inning Zack Greinke workout session.
ThundaPC - April 15, 2008
We made him throw one hell of a simulated game, though!
cwel87 - April 15, 2008
I knew Jeff wouldn't write anything
After the Sens and M’s both lost and as well he shouldn’t. I couldn’t write anything about that bullshit effort the M’s put out there last night. I can’t believe before the game I was excited for that. Grrr.
phil333 - April 15, 2008
To show how uninterested I was in this game:
I didn’t wake up once last night to check the score on my phone. That hasn’t happened all year. Last year, I would wake up several times and there was even a game against the Angels [the one where JJ struck out Vlad to end it] where I actually got out of bed to watch the end of the game, in the middle of the night, with work in a few hours time.
This season is looking like it is going to suck, and that really upsets me.
EnglishMariner - April 15, 2008
Every day I watch the M's
Makes me one day madder
cwel87 - April 15, 2008
I'm still pumped from the Flames' comeback
on Sunday, so I can’t help but be in a great mood.
Anything that makes San Jose whine about how physical Albertan hockey is is a good thing.
Llewdor - April 15, 2008
That game was phenomenal
