Simms, you jinx.
To be fair he's said it more than once.
Holy fuck it's the 7th?

I could of swore it was the 4th.

You're used to last night's tits pace.
That's how you make something good out of something bad

looks like someone started a meth habit

IMHO

I don't think I like Nick Swisher anymore.

Too much professional sex.

that thread will never not be funny
I can't find it now though

Anyone got a link?

Yup.

Oh I meant Jeff's writeup where he mentioned Nick Swisher's job was professional sex

From last year. Best writeup ever. But I don’t know where to find it.

I swaer that term sounds like

a SA filter pwn

That looks like the product of a sleepover practical joke.

I half-expected one his eyebrows to be missing.

actually a decent play by ibanez there

to cut taht ball off and keep him to a single

A good LF doesn't need to slide though.
Wait they're not allowed to get hits
ahhhhh!!!!!

that travis buck bobblehead is frightening

If I were Rizzs

I’d hang on to the ball for 15 minutes until everyone forgets about it, then lob it out of the booth onto somebody’s head.

You have turned into a dark, shady character.

The Sens must have raped your soul away.

I'll be back to my lighthearted dejection by the weekend
You can take an extra week if you want.

I don’t think the Mariners are going to get you back into shape that quickly.

This weekend has potential
Well that's the problem.

You need the Mariners to bring you back from the depths of hell for a period of time just to get you back to the lighthearted dejection level. If the M’s bomb this weekend, you are not coming back that quickly.

That's true

the week after this weekend has potential.

As broadcasters hazing Rizzs
Dave's eating a burger in the broadcast booth.

This is hilarious.

Back in the day

it was supposedly scotch and cigarettes all game long…

Next time you only hear the color guy for ten minutes, you know what's up
It's a shame they don't do live commercials for cigarettes anymore.
I could really go for a nice cool drag
Is there a punchline to that?

I’m too young to remember what a cigarette commercial would look like.

I fail to see why I need to double up the punchline.
Wow...

that was straight cheese.

Soo... Bedard as staff ace is kind of irrelevant now
No, it's still relevant.

If he is not around, we only have 1 ace to go with our shitastic offense and bullpen.

I mean in the sense of having one staff ace, one "go to guy"
But we always had two of those.
However Bedard as important is not

:(

I don't know why that got blockquoted but I like it

Really highlights the sad.

Love the quick rationalization
That's why I still like Felix's fastball
Nice save Sims.
It's because I told Felix he was the staff ace all along on MySpace.

I know it.

Why am I certain that Kurt Suzuki is 19 inches tall?
Holy crap Beltre is fucking awesome.
King Fucking Awesome!
Jeez...Beltre has been busy.

And boy is he AWESOME!

When is the last time Beltre made a play

without his gold glove being mentioned…

King Awesome
BELTRE!!!!!!!!
Beltre rocks

and our Suzuki is better than theirs

Our Suzuki is a ninja
our Suzuki is better than a ninja

he doesnt need to play hide and go seek in pajamas while he is awesome.

Sweet Jesus in a blender King Awesome is awesome!
Pitch Count?

Can the King go 8?

89

He’ll need a quick 8th

The King can go nine

And Yuni’s on my temporary shitlist for throwing away a shutout

Places to avoid hitting the ball against the M's

1. 3rd base
2. Center

OK I’m out

Foul territory behind the catcher?
I was thinking about adding Kenji

but how often is the ball hit to the catcher?

3. The broadcast booth.
unh.

Jaymee was hotter than you mindy. even if you give off a cougar vibe.

Mindy Bach

No Jaymee Sire

Mindi and Jaymee?
And postgame reporter

Gessycha White

Why don't we have a hot FSN bitch?
I've seen one, she wasn't the hottest

but she had a nice rack and a low cut shirt

Angie Mentink?
Vintage Turbo
Turbo Power!

Infield hit

Speedy Vidro
Trubo hustle

Who placed the hotdog at first base

I heart Vidro infield singles

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA A’s announcers “Vidro runs too well”

WHAT???!

Two innings from .500

Woooo

Run you Twinkie!
Pure speed right there
"Vidro runs pretty well"

I wish these guys didn’t put me to sleep because they say some real nuggets.

too many cupcakes...cannot jump!
according to A's dudes "Vidro runs too well"
A's cclor guy says Vidro "runs well"
Turbo infield hits are back!
Did Sexson just apologize for sucking?
TURBOPUNS!
MORE LYTES THAN YOUR BODY HAS ROOM FOR
It's got what plants need!
SPORTS!

AHHHHHH!

wait shit i was quoting brawndo not powerthirst
It's what plants crave, because it has electrolytes!
Don't mean to be a dick or nothin

but it says here you’re fucked up. You talk like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded.

Wait, no, *this* one goes in your mouth, and *this* one goes in your ass.
I'd love to see a vidro steal
He apparently runs well..

So why not?

Then we'd hear that "there's a rabbit loose on the basepaths"
he already

has a stolen base this year.

I had somehow blocked that from my memory.

I think the improbability of it was too much for me to handle.

Only the Mariners can get 4 runs off a pitcher

and still allow him to pitch into the 8th.

FUNK STRIKEOUT
With Felix on the mound, Richie's K's don't piss me off as much

I Like this

Come on richie
"Sexson swung at ball four"

fat joe…dont be too happy with yourself. its richie sexson. and youre still fat.

That ball was so clearly low

Not even a breaking ball or anything

Needs more Bonds.
Does Sexson even see the ball?
Brad Wilkerson = Ruben Sierra

In that I do not think I have ever seen them get a hit in a Mariner uniform. I am sure they do / did get them – but I never witness them.

Ruben Sierra was on fucking fire for the first third of the season.
I wish Wilkerson had the same problem :-(
Get out of my life Wilkerson
The Sexson-Wilkerson power hour

AKA the big ass hole in our lineup

We need a sphincterectomy
son's need to start hitting
Needs more Sex, Wilker
To recap:

1st pitch: close, no swing
2nd pitch: not close, check swing
3rd pitch: even less close, full swing

Gameday for that AB looks pretty funny
Awe inspiring really
Triunfel hasn't played in over a week

I worry.

Cairo at 1st?

Hey now.

What is Felix's PC?
93
Yeesh.... needs a quick inning.
89 coming into the inning

Very low stress though

gameday says 89 for some reason
Dell Dimension 5100

with 512 RAM mmmmm

Dude, it's a Dell.

You can expect it to crap out in 3 months.

Hmm

Maybe that’s Bedard’s PC then.
I made myself sad. =(

Miguel Cairo is our defensive substitution
whoa. a defensive replacement?
Yuni wants to be like Beltre

but Yuni is not Beltre

Terrible pitch
....is that Motorhead's King of Kings I heard?
Oh no....not this shit.
Dammit Raul

Where’s his defensive sub

DO NOT

bring in the bullpen

Sheeeeeeet here we go King..

Need some K’s

IBANEZ = ARRGGH
Why did he fall down?!

Tard.

Here comes the Ellis home run and the scrounging for razor blades
At least the expectation is already there
I don't have to look far for mine

Make a necklace out of it.

Ellis homers = puppies in Tucson dying tonight
You live in Tucson? I live in Tucson!
sweet

yeah I’m at U of A… you going to any Rainiers games next week?

I might go to the Saturday one

I have to work for the Thursday and Friday night ones.

Did Greinke leave any behind for us?
Hmmm

that wasn’t so bad. It was closer than Raul usually gets…

God fucking damnit these hits are so fucking stupid
Gameday shows that Felix has been losing velocity on the fastball.
He just hit 95
Yeah I saw that.

My bad.

I took a nap after work

I turned on the game in the 7th, i.e. around 8:30, and wondered how this game was moving so fast. Everyone’s working really quick. It’s like these guys have to catch a flight or something, which is weird because they just got here and they have another game tomorrow.

Sooooooooo

Who wishes we had Jimerson to replace Ibaenz in LF?

100 pitch mark.

come on King!

Well no complete game
excellent
DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FELIX!

YEAH FUCKER! SUCK IT ELLIS!
How the FUCK did he get a piece of that?
Good patience Felix

I was dreading he’d throw too early

Nice play Felix!
who was the 1b ump nodding to?
THERE YOU GO

Not that Felix was at fault for getting into trouble. Total luck hits.

First one was a real hit
Sharp grounder

One yard to either side and that’s an easy out.

great turn Yuni!!!
BIGTIME DP!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BIGTIME DP!!!!!
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I fucking hate bloop RBIs!!

don't worry

it’s putz wooo time…

That run involved zero skill from the A's

I almost want them to call it unearned.

Yuni has a cannon
gameday stuck again
Green again.

yeeesssss

What the is with these pussy ass shit hits today
Whatever these hits are terribly annoying

Felix is still completely owning

are these the angels?

so many pussy hits

English Mariner takes a lot of pussy hits.
Arthur Rhodes and Everyday Sean Green up in the pen
Green, Rhodes warming up

Implosion imminent

Espically for Rhodes
Green warming up again?
Rhodes warming up?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hahaha totally on same page there
Rhodes getting loose in 2 run ballgame NOOOOOO
Well..

I hope they dont’ bring in Rodes…

YES BRING IN ARTHUR RHODES THAT IS A SPLENDID IDEA
i sense a door closing rally coming in the top of the 9th
Rhodes and Green

up in the pen….

ugggh.

One more batter, Felix
one more out baby

make it quick before Rhodes comes in

I have only seen bloop hits tonight.
Please not Rhodes
No Rhodes No Rhodes No Rhodes No Rhodes

No Rhodes No Rhodes No Rhodes No Rhodes

squinty

wants greens arm to fall off his body. i guess he wants another lefty in the pen and will form green to pitch that way with only one arm.

I think there have been 2 legitimate hits off of Felix
Last batter for El Rey

get this fucker out

Where the hell is that slider at if its not a strike
RRS must be deaders again
He did pitch yesterday.

...

Yeah that made loads of sense
And the game before

so yeah

And Green has pitched every day since The Assumption
Time to start putting him on the milk cartons again
KEEP ROWLAND ROWLAND ROWLAND ROWLAND

Brought to you by the always intellectually-suspect Safeco sound guy.

What the fuck?
Oh come on Felix just get him
I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT!
Strikes

That’s what these are

Rhodes vs. Cust

That sounds bad!!!!!

Are you fucking serious.
I saw John Maine do this shit 3 hours ago.
DOES RYAN ROWLAND SMITH EXIST???

god fucking squinty Ryan Rowland-Smith is unstoppable WHAT THE HELL

FELIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOWZA! Hairy!
K! FUCK YEAH!
Sit the fuck down
Your words are my words.
NO SOUP FOR YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
We need someone with photoshop skills to get a silhouette here
Thank you Felix!
K

OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

Massive Ownership!!

K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you King!

FUCK YEAH YOU COCKGOBBLING SORRY ASS MOTHERFUCKER

Put that in your ass and smoke it, Sweeney!
Felix the "K"
Pure unadulterated ownage.
K!!!

Why is Sean Green warming up FOR THE FOURTH STRAIGHT DAY

Sqiunty keeps mistaking him for Mike Marshall
He has the closer mentality.
FUCK YEAH!!!

siddown bitch!

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL
YEAH BITCHHHH
I don't know what Felix is yelling but in my head it's insults in Latin
Cacator cave malum, aut si contempseris, habeas Iovem iratum!!
OH NO YOU DIH-UNT!
SCORE INSURANCE RUNS PLEASE!
Felix has been quite the innings eating.
innings eater*
Felix

Is the KKKKKKKing

Fan reaction = Priceless.
Mike Sweeney's popular...he looks like a chick I dated in high school

GET A HAIRCUT!

You dated a girl that looks like Mike Sweeney?

[insert Surprise face]

You sure you didn't just date Mike Sweeny?
What a great first month

Far and beyond what I had expected from Felix so far. I thought he’d be good, but I didn’t expect this kind of total domination.

This almost makes up for Bedard being out.

Sign that man to whatever the hell he wants

Seriously, just give him a blank check for chrissakes.

Their current offer is a pretty bad lowball
Just roll Brinks trucks full of cash bricks up to his home

until he says, “OK that’s enough.”

I told him he should settle for no less than 10/100

Sorry guys.

2 Seamer...

If Felix taking some off of his 2 Seamer? Seems like he’s in the mid 80s with the pitch tonight.

He's in the low- to mid-90s
No per Gameday....

he’s in the 84-88 range with a lot of his “fastballs”

I'm seeing 92-95 on Gameday
So I've never tired one of these but...

Hahahahahaha

Awesome

PORKINS!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!
OMG Jek Porkins is my FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best picture ever….

So incredibly awesome.

This is worthy of a rec.

So...

That Felix kid is pretty good at pitching.

Yeah I might try to pick him up in fantasy

I think he’s probably available

Holy crap

that was Sweeney’s first strikeout in 59 plate appearances.

Vidro wants to get on TV with Brad Adams

Adams refuses. TV adds pounds and the screen can barely support Vidro as is

Lowe sighting!

Yay to no Rhodes / Green

Lowe Rider in the pen

That’s better.

Lowe for the 9th

figured it be Morrow knowing squinty.

Gotta get him in the flow of the game!

/McSquinty

I'd still send King Felix out there, but I'm crazy.
Me too.

It’s not like he is still 19 years old.

I miss patient Jose.
I miss him too
Where is Last Fan of Jose Lopez???

You need to defend his honor!

Yeah, he's been gone for...oh wait, he was there yesterday.
Yeah

Why the hell is Jose waving at shitty pitches again?

I’m starting to wonder if his patience is the product of the dugout sending the TAKE sign out for the first 3-4 pitches of all his ABs.

What a game pitched by Felix

That was definitely the King walking off of there

Yeah that was the best 8-hit performance I've ever seen
Yeah

I’d say like 2 of those were legit hits, and the rest were shitty little flares he fooled them badly on.

Lopez struck out?
Alright boys

3 outs let’s go.

Lowe coming in

apprehension lowering….

dammit Loafie
Lowe?

I figurerd Mac would use his new veteran toy until bavasi took it from him.

Here we go.

Putz not in. Game still in question.

Putz out. Game on?
FELIX IN

Game over.

Ms offense really took the last 6 innings off
Any word on when Putz is coming back?

Right after he gets off the DL or what?

Most people come back when they're taken off the DL
Matthew's answer is more of what I was looking for there
no definitive word yet, but a minor league rehab is possible for a few games

They’re about to get blowed down!

Am I right?

WWAAAAA??!

King still in? Wow…

FELIX FELIX FELIX
So uh.......
Leaving him in? Whoa.
1-2-3 inning and I am off to get a spicey chicken sandwhich
That sounds MAGNIFICENT.
#6 at Wendy's?
Hey I just ate Wendy's
You are the fucking man.
Don't tell Lopez

he’ll find you and fuck you

NO

YOU MUST GET SQUARE MEAT WHEN YOU GO TO WENDY’S

Yes, I believe so.
FELIX!!!!!!!!!!!
Felix back out?

Okay. I’ll take it.

108 pitches at the start.

I’m… not a fan.

This is probably all Felix's doings

after the Lowe game in Baltimore he doesn’t really want to come out if he doesn’t have to.

Uh oh's......
Pitchers really value wins
But the last time Felix left the game with a 2-run lead.....

He wants to finish what he couldn’t before.

He is earning his grit stripes.

If anyone gets on the should yank him.
This is madness!
I will not finish this quote
I will...

No it’s not..

Did I do that right?

This is Felix!

K’D

THI... IS...LESBOS!!!!!!
This is Brett's fault if this goes bad.
K

YEOWCH!!!!!!!

This is where Felix tears a ligament or two.

Or three.

Or just strikes fools out!
Whose?

Oakland’s?

Wrong, wrong

and wrong.

Felix for interim closer!
Felix is awesome.
SWEET MERCY
THERE WILL BE NO MERCY
Flyout

I’ll take it.

Can Felix collect the W and the S?
This is comical

100 pitches, so what?

Raul in LF, so what?
Ok so this is awesome.
FELIX RULES YOU!
COMPLETE GAME'D
M's WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FELIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

King Felix is amazing
FELIX HERNANDEZ OWNS YOUR SOULS, OAKLAND
Felix in Game Over
BOW DOWN TO THE KING!
black people eat chicken?

white people eat macaroni an’ cheese.
BOW DOWN BITCH!

-daniel tosh

My fantasy team thanks you Felix.
FUCKIN GAME BITCHES
i love him

i absolutely love him

Just Filthy Tonight
MOST EXCELLENT
Just over two hours.. wow.
I could not be more gay for him if I tried.
I SAW HIM FIRST
He makes my boxers tighter.
I don't wear boxers when trying to impress Felix
Sweet..

I wish I had watched more of the game, and spent less at cupid, and less time writing on my blog…

I knew he could do it.
FELIX WINS!!!!!!!!!!!

FELIX WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah, M’s too

Shit

He could’ve thrown a 10th inning if necessary. He doesn’t even look winded.

AAAAAAAAAA

Kneel before your King bitches!

Unbelievable job, that box score is wroooooong.

I want to have gay sex with Felix

There, it’s been said.

7 pitch 9th.

Not too shabby.

The A's are Felix's bitches!
Felix: "No JJ, Fuck the bullpen"
"I am my own bullpen, bitch."
King Felix!!!

Man this guy kicks ass.

ALL HAIL

ALL HAIL

Game over before I have to go to work.

I approve!

Fuck the box score.

that was domination

Holy fucking shit Felix is an absolute and complete badass
Seriously I don't even know what to say
This is awesome! Felix is our ace, screw hip boy Bedard
I was going to say the same thing?

Bedard = Mr. Glass
Felix = Invincible

I've had it with these motherfucking dink singles against motherfucking Felix
If those didn't happen, he'd never give up a hit.
I WANT TO FUCK HIM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

IT ONLY WORKS THE OTHER WAY AROUND
I wouldn't let you do this.
Paging EnglishMariner

Paging EnglishMariner….

Squeaking that one by didn't work
You want Felix to make you squeak.
I know he would...
That was pretty much insane
now let's hope the angles lose. stupid halos
damnit angels and angles
Rise Against lyrics:

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels

Rise Against is a good band
System of a Down had a better line:

Angels deserve to die

If only their music wasn't terrible.
I really wish I had gone to this game.

I’m an idiot.

Go to the Oakland Coliseum?

Now finish off the Angels, KC

And holy shit people on HH were arguing for Jered over Felix

HH thinks HH is smart.
Jered didn't do so badly today.

He wasn’t Felix, but 2 ER in 6 innings isn’t bad.

The argument is still ludicrous
Basically 3 ER. That was his own error.
So I'm a little slow onto this bandwagon

but the Royals don’t look like too bad of a team.

Seriously, how many of those balls were actually hit hard? 3? 4?
If Felix had a theme song, these would be the lyrics

Behold the King, the King of Kings.
On your knees dog. All hail.

Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.

The King grinned red as he walked from the blaze,
Where the traitor lost both his name and his face.
Through the halls and the corridors stinging in blood,
He tasted his grin and it tasted good.
The King took his head. Left him broken and dead.

Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.

The King left none living, none able to tell.
The King took their heads and he sent them to hell.
Their screams echoed loud in the place of their death.
Ripped open they died. With their final breath.
They hailed to the King, the King of Kings.

Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.

Into the dirt, his will be done.
Now feel your fear, there can be only one.

Bow down, bow down, bow down to the …
Bow down, bow down, bow down, bow down to the …
Bow down, bow down to the…
Bow down to the, bow down to the King.
Bow down to the …
Bow down, bow down, bow down.

The King is here, now feel your fear.
The King of Kings.

All hail, all hail the King.
On your knees, on your knees for the King.

The King of Kings, there is only one.

They should just play that song at Safeco before his every inning
Man, you must've worked really hard on that.
Motorhead worked hard on that
Not mine

It’s Motorhead’s King of Kings

Plagiarism!

jk, he does need a theme though.

A certain Color Me Badd song comes to mind...
I don't want him sexing me up
I do

I wouldn’t mind having his man-babies.

That would be a great honor

You’ll be his concubine like the rest of us, and you will like it.

I absolutely do
Isn't that like, a wrestling theme?
Yeah, HHH.

But it applies because it’s a badass song.

Isn't that Triple Bitches theme song

I don’t want Triple Bitch and King Felix having anything to do with one another.

Had Vlad Ked there

Come on!

Bottom of the 9th in Anaheim, Royals lead 3-2

Joakim Soria about to hear the lamentations of their women.

2 down
that 3rd strike to Napoli was sick - 68mph curve? Guhhhh
How about THAT one?????

FUCK ME

I'll say it again

Soria :: 2008
Putz :: 2007

The Mexican can play.

This is the first time I've gotten a really good look at him

that last pitch was fucking incredible…

It's worth everyone's time to watch that last inning on MLB.tv after the game archives
Yikes.

Glad we missed him.

Soria got a huge strike zone though.

That “called strike out” to Figgins—2 were balls.
