Lookout Landing

Things that broke my patience

Markakis shitting all over that 1st pitch from Hyphen
Daniel Cabrera = 0 walks
Vidro waving at a cankles-high strike three
Richie popping up the 1st, and last pitch he saw in the 9th

I think the generous

strike zone had all the hitters out of sorts.

This team needs a RF that can hit something fierce….. Raul got on and my first thought was … pinch run Willie…... Crap!

MfaninAlaska - April 23, 2008 reply

They had another Willie on the bench

Proving more that Cairo is a useless asset.

I hear they have a mashing RF in Tacoma

Sadly, a) he has a bad bruise in his leg that still needs to heal up and b) the team isn’t too gung ho to call him up anyway.

Almost every late inning I yelled at Willie "HEY CABRERA SUCKS AT THE STRIKE ZONE TAKE SOME PITCHES!"

The first inning I yelled that to him, he popped out on the first pitch in his next AB.

What the fuck is wrong with this stupid fucking retard fuck team.

BrettJMiller - April 23, 2008 reply

It must be like when I play MVP '05

and I want take pitches so badly, I know I need to take pitches, but I can’t help myself and I swing as soon as the ball leaves the pitchers hand and play to god it’s a fastball I can pull. However, I have the game set on easy, and every single pitch is a cockball down the middle, so maybe that’s not the best apology.

no gamethread = no game

tonights loss never happened.

MFAN - April 23, 2008 reply

So....

How many more days til Felix day?

joof - April 23, 2008 reply

I think the server is still in shock from last nights game thread.

I still need to read through that

Allegedly, it was a heated one.

There are going to be changes around here

Jeff Sullivan - April 23, 2008 reply

wow, it must have been bad yesterday

MFAN - April 23, 2008 reply

Yikes

It must have been REALLY bad

It was...it's only a few people..but it jumps out of hand quickly.

I think we need a LL Utah Mining outing to thin out the heard.

Yeah, much of it was a lot like that

except neither funny nor clever.

Did you hear about the heard*?

*herd

This site is slowly diminishing my ability to spell.

Yeah. Some people do not comprehend that anything involving killing Jews or

anally raping JJ Putz might be a little over the line.

ehh

if you go there it better be pretty fucking amusing

Hard to do. Well, I guess good jokes can be based around the former,

but I don’t see how the latter can be amusing.

Well now you've gone and spoiled my fanfic

Ah I read the thread

Yeah, that was too far. Do we really need direct anal rape references and antisemitism in a game thread? I would say not. If nothing else, it’s trying too hard and playing to shock value, which is silly.

And WTF was with the Ronald McDonald thing? Good lord.

And WTF was with the Ronald McDonald thing?

I had trouble sleeping last night.

I thought we agreed

that this was never to be posted again.

shudder

BrianL - April 23, 2008 reply

It's okay as long as you are looking directly at it.

But blink or turn away, and it moves in for the kill

NOOOOOOOOOOO

I SAW IT I DID NOT NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN

Seriously why?

KILL IT

FUCKING SERIOUSLY NOT FUCKING FUNNY

Can't...stop...looking...at...it..

But seriously, I wonder what the fuck was going on inside the head of the guy who made it.

That one night at the Ronald McDonald House?

Robert - April 23, 2008 reply

antisemitic jokes can be ok

antisemitic comments arent

Robert - April 23, 2008 reply

LL Newbs ruining it for the veterans

I can start to see where McLaren has a point

Robert - April 23, 2008 reply

So we've been through Warz!?

I’m Lieutenant Kentroyals5

I received purple hearts for the injuries I received upon hearing of the Vidro and Horam trades.

Mass deportation of all new users to Camden Chat

We get.. uh, the guy with Omar in his signature?

I think jpeg poting privleges should be suspended

until you been a member for two months.

The same thing should apply to ethnic slurs and advocation of genocide.

So... we can advocate genocide after we've been around two months then?

seattlebruin - April 23, 2008 reply

Does being a member of USSM for almost a year count?

No, LL comments>>>>>>USSM comments. We hold to a higher standard here.

BrettJMiller - April 23, 2008 reply

depends who you want killed

I really strongly dislike Martians

them and people from Uranus. Fuck Uranus!

.....

seattlebruin - April 24, 2008 reply

I've trolled LL since it was FJL

but I haven’t started interacting until recently.
I’ll tone down the jpegs, but I can’t get rid of them completely.

Majic - April 24, 2008 reply

Yes you can

Jeff Sullivan - April 24, 2008 reply

It reminds me of the JJ rally cap commercial

where he advises you to use the rally cap wisely and not to go to it too early. Moderation is the key with JPEGs and GTE. Don’t strain to exercise either.

JJ would also like to urge restraint and moderation in anally raping him

ALCS and up only, plz

Use the magical powers of the anal rape wisely

Right, Ichiro?
Bobblehead: [nods]
JJ: See? Ichi knows.

All I have to say is Thank God I haven't been in the gamethreads the next couple days

Corco - April 23, 2008 reply

the *last couple days

Corco - April 23, 2008 reply

Don't be so hard on yourself

I thought you would have made positive contributions to the gynecology sub-thread.

It must have been scary bad if there are changes promised. We usually police ourselves fairly well around here, and stop it before it gets out of hand.

Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - April 23, 2008 reply

I typed in lookoutlanding.com and my computer told me the server was taking a break.

I spent the next 5 hours going through withdrawal

Me too dude!

I was starting to go mad as the pregame show came on!

Was it down last night too?

I was busy playing Sims and missed the game thread. I didn’t notice it was down until this morning when it took an hour to load the front page, then took a shit when I tried tp read the comments.

Yeah, SB Nation was toast until right after the 9th inning

Gomez - April 24, 2008 reply

Ouch.

That is a very perturbed Giant Silva in the postgame interview

Reporter: On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rate your discomfort level right now.
Silva: I DON’T KNOW.
Reporter:

Fuck the server...fuck management..fuck vidro with a hot dog.

GTE is on an infinite loop since there was no GT. FUCK INFINITE LOOPS!!!

I'm really pissed that Beltre got so unlucky

He absolutely dumped a seventy ton shit on that Sherrill pitch and I was convinced it was at least a double off the bat. Fuck that game. Good thing I didn’t watch most of it.

Also, I’m sure glad we didn’t sign Reed Johnson. Aren’t you, Bavasi? Know what? Fuck you, Bill, I’m voting for you again in the Worse GM poll.

JLC - April 23, 2008 reply

Reed Johnson: .339/.415/.393/.808

Willie Bloomquist, Mike Morse, and Brad Wilkerson: suck

JLC - April 23, 2008 reply

And Wlad is like a hemophilica

so he doesn’t work either…lets steel Reed Johnson…And every retarded Mariner fan will think Reed Johnson is Jeremy Reed.

Thanks for reminding me

[vomits]

Gomez - April 24, 2008 reply

Beltre did make an awesome play in the top of the 9th

Its too bad his efforts go wasted by an M’s loss.

Is anyone else impressed with Morrow?

His change and slider seemed eons improved, and he finally dropped that horrible split. If he keeps this up, hitters won’t be able to sit on his fastball like they did last year.

Yes

Morrow looked good. Plus he was touching 97-98 on the Safeco gun too, which has to be a good sign.

seattlebruin - April 23, 2008 reply

I was impressed with him too

The possibility that he could become a good major league starter is much better now. We’ll see if the M’s will ever give him the chance to develop into one though…

Kevman22 - April 23, 2008 reply

Yes, it was times like yesterday

when all of a sudden I didn’t feel horrible about how good Tim Lincecum is

seattlebruin - April 24, 2008 reply

Back to minor league stuff.

Where did the designations “A”, “AA” and “AAA” originate? Why aren’t they called something else? Was the “A” originally for amateur or something?
