man Bedard is dealing

not Striking as many people out as he should but looking at that GB/FB out ratio is making me smile.

well considering 3 of those FB outs were infield flies...
Don't kid yourself A's
So who do we want to see pitching the 7th?

I say Hyphen.

Who do we think Squinty will go get? I say Green.

Wait, is he warming up Hyphen?
I say Bedard
Yeah, if only

He looks like he’s fine. But I have no problem with taking it easy this time.

Why hyphen? The lineup they're running is basically all RHBs, right?
I have yet to catch a shot of the bullpen

You have a point.

Bedard has given up 9 hits in 17 innings

Albert 3 HR and a ridiculous BABIP. But whatever.

*albeit
We should sign this Albert guy
He sounds pretty good
To be fair we have pretty low standards at this point
Low standards are the most difficult standards to disappoint
Not too difficult for this team >:(
Too bad, Cards already have him
He's like a big strong Edgar Martinez with gold glove defense

I think you’d like him.

Is he happy there?

Is there anything we can give him that they can’t?

Malaise and coffee
A Wii?
Speaking of which I have to go pick up Mariokart in an hour

Hell yes!

NICE.
I need this game to end soon.

God, it’s good to have JJ back :)

It's wierd to actually

want to see Morrow come out of the bullpen next inning.

Oh, and fuck that guy from THT. Hip labrum tear my ass.

Woo

Bedard throws six scoreless. Now it’s Ayala time. Aww…yeah.

Let's go Beltre
That's gonna be a Duece.

Well said Sims.

Well stroked, Sims.
A DEUCE!!!!!!
I love Sims.

Double is not the first thing I think of when I hear the word “deuce.”

Beltre dropped a deuce on that pitch
Beltre!

More runs please?

That pitch was anything but divine
wooooo Beltre.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO VIDRO AT 5 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice play ball girl

Bavasi, sign her!

That ballgirl's fired
If by fired you mean...

Invited over here, then yes. She’s fired.

The clubhouse needs concubines
maybe that's what vidro does

blowjobs for hotdogs

Thats not a good mental image.
He can practice on the hotdogs

It’s a beautiful horrific cycle

haha, almost choked on my banana laughing

Yes, actual banana

man, that ball girl was cute
Not so much

I knew a girl from my old work who used to be ball girl for the M’s. Apparently Yuni had asked her out.

How could she say no?
Given he can't speak English

probably the language barrier.

aren't ballplayers not supposed to do that?

or is that basketball players and dance teams?

Haha. How'd she respond?
I am not sure, she told me to keep it a secret

I think it was when they were in Baltimore a year ago, so she said she would know when he gets back. I guess nothing happened, since she is in college in SoCal. Also apparently the ball players, including “family-friendly” Ibanez, spread rumors that she had sex with some of the ball players. She said it was not true, and they were a-holes. I don’t know what to take from it, I prefer not to make judgement.

Vid-... nahhhhh
Yea, Norton can stick around.
Greg Norton 4 DH
GREG NORTON FOR DH
NORTO?!!
Sims did a Jackie Gleason
Norton for DH!
two hits out of the DH slot
NORTON >>> VIDRO
if by norton, you mean a corpse...
I meant Norton is better than Vidro

= greater than.

I know, I meant a corpse

at this point, would be better than vidro.

I see

You are right, I guess I would be better than Vidro, Professional Hitterâ„¢ :D

NORTON!!!!!!!!!!
I'd say Norton for President,

but I’m not sure what his healthcare plan looks like,

this norton guy is good
I would like to see more of this Norton fellow
Norton for RF

Clement for DH.

No complaints here.
I like this idea
LA Drops a 10 in the first inning

Talk about offensive explosion.

Taking a page from High Desert, I see
Matt Kemp

5 rbis

No lead is safe in the Cal League

In the NL West, however….

Andruw Jones sucks.
Fraksauce

I started Hunter Pence over Kemp on my fantasy lineup. Torre and his spastic lineups! shakes fist towards LA

Kemp is on my fantasy :D

But I think one of the rules here is no one cares about anyone else’s fantasy team.

No, it's fun to hear of people's griefs because we can all relate.
whew Dodgers not Angels
"...got his home batting average up to .159"
Norton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

wtf???????????????? just happened?
I was wondering the same thing

pretty cool though

You created some sort of game thread vortex

I am absolutely amazed.

I hope I don't accidentally hjit back on my browser

this thread will take hours to re-load.

what in the smurf?
Wow, what the smurf happened here
Uh I had a lot of ">>>"

ending with Vidro. Things went horribly wrong.

I fount the rest of it:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh god what is going on
you just killed us all
Somone found a way to break the margins.... but not break the margins.
I am recommending this although I am not sure why
Yea,

So basically when you use the “greater than” symbol it creates the quote box. :)

Let's try this

I like my hotdogs coated in maple syrup
- Jose Vidro<

Cool.

Someone has to fix this.
Suddenly you understand why I do reverse smileys
I will never doubt you again.
Yeah, I learned that one the hard way
Why do we need box shortcuts

when we have idiotproofed picture associated auto format buttons?

Watch this

ASCII >>>>> Using your keyboard-set keys

I was going to put even more ">>>"s in.

Glad I didn’t, otherwise I probably would’ve inadvertently broken the gamethread.

And the space-time continuum
Nice swing you fuck
So, Greg Norton for RF?
Only if he can DH for Reed.
Booo @ Sexson
Better than DPing.
Matt Kemp

1-1, HR, 5 RBI

5 RBI?? sac fly in there somewhere?
The mythical 5 run HR??

It exists?!

There were 2 people on first.
No, just one Vidro
Like the mythical 4th flavor of ice cream??
Only if you believe
Cue Angels in the Outfield music...

And remember that in Little Big League the SPOILER Twins lost to the Mariners because Griffey is an animal.

Please leave in Erikkk.
you get your wish.
Side note

I think this game thread is a big step back to the good times

Holy Hell!

Mac does as I say.

Bedard still in!
HOLY SMURFBALLS MORE BEDARD
Hm!

Bedard starts the 7th?

I like it, ballsy
What a yakker
Go Bedard!

Oakland is not his buddy.
Hopefully Baker will have a good write up

Erik Bedard's curveball should fight crime
It should have a cape.
Bedard probably told McLaren that he's feeling no discomfort.
Yay more Bedard

now please somehow manage to not hurt yourself

Frank Thomas

is an unhappy man.

Night night FFT
Pwnage

Somebody buy Bedard a bionic hip.

That show got cancelled for good reasons.
Dialing up that fastball
So Bedard is in the zone
I hate 0-2 hits

):<

I looks like an angry man

with a comical cartoon mustache and a unibrow

If that's really what you look like, that's awesome
for some reason look is plural

...

):<(

pointed nose?

):^<(

I’m done.

That one sort of looks like Hitler.
Wait. Is this a unibrow frowny face crying?
I think it's a proper English gentlemen with a deviated septum
It'd be a bit pig-nosed by the looks of it
Rhodes and Green in the pen...

Yes, leave in Erikkkk

As long as theres no lefties in the lineup...

we should be ok.

Bedard seems to suddenly want to K people
Is this guy the same dude that was in Men in Black and Law and Order: Criminal Intent?
TOMMOROW IS FELIX DAY
Tacoma update

after 3 1/2 innings Tacoma 10 Tucson 8…. between the two teams 26 hits….

Holy monkeyballs. Hope Clement got at least a few of them.
he has 1 hit

a double… been walked twice

and Phat Andy is still pitching.

Left out there to die

Like the M’s, the Rainiers burned a lot of their pen yesterday.

its now a 10-10 tie

not a half inning has gone by without a run scoring.
former Rainier Emiliano Fruto is pitching for Fresno.

agrahghghgg

If Tucson’s public transportation didn’t suck balls I’d have gone tonight

Man, it's like an old Las Vegas Stars game
Do.Not.Walk.This.Scrub.
Way to go, Bedard!
why not put in a better pitcher

either rhodes or green, not ideal…

Morrow had to get his control somewhere
+/- 2 innings before the bullpen blows it?
I'll take the under.
Yeah me too, kinda forgot it was the 7th inning when I posted that, but 1 seemed to low in my head
Sure you didn't mean 'outs'?
So how about this Bedard kid eh?
Not bad for returning from the DL.
You're even talking Canadian now

Bedard has an effect on all of us.

How aboot we sign him to a long term contract?
Does Green have a slider?
Frisbee slider
ick

ok thanks

Only against righties
And apparently against lefties

How the fuck did you figure that out
Dug deep into my HTML materials

They exist to remedy exactly this sort of problem with rich-text fields.

I really really really hate those Mac commercials.
mac is a total assbag
Could be worse

At least we don’t have Dusty Baker at the helm.

I hate Mac
Screw you, buddy!

I love my mac….computer! hahaha

Agreed.

People are resistant to a better life.

Curses.

You made a terrible Mac pun before I did. :(

I usually am not that witty on the spot.
I dunno, I kinda like Mac

and cheese.

(runs)

Runs, huh...

You may want to think about cutting back on the mac and cheese

JJ's bobblehead as evil eyes.
As expected

The JJ bobblehead looks nothing like JJ.

I think that's a requirement for bobbleheads
I don't know

My Brandon Roy and Greg Oden bobbleheads look like Roy and Oden.

Jack Cust PH'ing.

Heh.

I feel scared.
Sean Green!!!

When will his arm explode??!?

Seriously, he's gonna pitch in like 90 games

if his arm doesn’t blow up first.

oddly enough

he’s not even leading the AL in appearances…..

BUT MIKE MARSHALL DID IT

TELL HIM TO BE LESS OF A PUSS

Where was that??
Green against a leftie huh?

No way this could ever end badly

Prepare for FAIL!
BRING IN FELIX
Oh shit.
Oh [Smurf].*
Author Rhodes in

Still nervous as hell.

That didn't look

like a walk…

Looked like 4 strikes to me but oh well
Can't believe I'm saying this

but I want Morrow in here.

Grand slam, game over

Calling it now.

Oh please no.
Why the hell doesn't he ever get Sherrill?
Huh?
Mac hasn't gotten Sherrill in to a game all year...

I’m being bitter, facetious, and sarcastic.

Mac manages baseball games

Like some noun that doesn’t enact some verb very well

It sounded better in my head
WTF FSN

She is NOT hot.

If Ryan Fucking Sweeney goes deep

I quit

I used to have a Smurfs record as a child

times like this make me wish I knew where the hell it was.

Jeff, is the undead rage potion ready?
Guess we won't need it

no idea what I’m going to do with all this leftover undead rage potion.

Can you save it?

Washburn’s pitching in 2-3 days.

Sorry, Washburn doesn't qualify for undead status
Damn, with the fastball in the 80's I figured he was there

Okay then.

It's a long season

There’s plenty of time for Arthur to feed

How did Rhodes walk Markakis on 3 pitches?
Even Rhodes looks like he knows he should not be in.

We really do need to update this bad boy
Grand Slam here

Puts the A’s up 4 runs on 3 hits.

With the M’s sitting at 3 runs and 8 hits.

Where have I seen that before?

"Arthur Rhodes has a lot of confidence in his slider"

Well, that makes one of us.

Rhodes 93mph?

huh?

93 MPH!?!?!
Man oh man this is a bad and scary idea
Well I'll be hornswoggled
ARTHUR LEE TOLD YOU TO SIT DOWN, SON
Strike this motherfucker out
WOOOOOOOOOOO
K

Rhodes still has it, I am afraid to admit.

Sims: "The old man from Texas."
Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m liking this old dude!!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAT?????
RHODES!!!

Okay, I’m starting to like him a lot.

HOLY

Hehehe

I’d assume that Comrade Papa Smurf was anything but holy

Arthur LEE!!!!
Hit the Rhode jack,

Don’t ya come back no more…

Too bad Jack was already on 1st... :(
Why would you hit him, he struck the guy out... >_>
Braden is a dashing young man
with thick, wavy hair
looks like a porn actor

from the 1970’s.

Woot.

Still waiting for that Yuni-bomb :(

Yeah if he's not gonna hit for power...

He should lose the weight and be defense Yuni again.

Yuni says safe!
Bedard: 96 pitches

So much for the pitch count.

They counted his pitches.

:-/

Nice Hustle YUNI
A's have 5 hits and 12 walks in 16 innings this series
The product of Billy Beane's masterplan.
Man Yuni has gay music
Not that there's anything wrong with that
With the music there sure is
I think MLB.com did a thing about the different batter music.

like a few weeks ago.

Yeah...

Yuni’s was chosen because it said “Cuba” a lot. Good enough reason for me.

Here is the article

Enjoy http://seattle.mariners.mlb.com/news/article_entertainment.jsp?ymd=20080411&content_id=2515594&vkey=entertainment&fext=.jsp

You know what other song says Cuba a lot?

“Cuba” by the Gibson Brothers. And it’s far cooler.

Haha.

They use the player’s name when they comment except for Johjima. Maybe they should just be straight forward and say “translator’s comment.”

Also, I hate the reasoning behind Raul’s and Yuni’s songs.

I think it's pretty common for fans to be irritated as to how little thought players put into their walkup songs

I think any good fan has lost a lot of sleep thinking about what would be their walkup song.

Amon Amarth – The Beheading of a King would be my walkup – but I would make sure to keep Felix in the clubhouse when they played it.

Mine: Blue Scholars - North By Northwest
I prefer when the players make the selections.

But for Raul’s and Yuni’s, they didn’t make the selection. The stupid people in the booth did.

Also, my song would be the guitar solo at the beginning of

“Good Enough” – Honor By August

Or maybe “The Kids Aren’t Alright” – The Offspring

It's Raining Men!?!
This is awesome.
What's Yuni's music?
I don't know his walk-up music

but when he singles they play “Whine Up” and when he gets extra-base hits they play “I Like The Way You Move”.

Walk up music: "Represent" by Orishas

I actually like it

How did he miss the base?

If he even did.

He missed it due to the ball sailing away from him.
It didn't look like that he did, but I guess he did.
That 95 mph throw by ellis drew him off
Should we be worried about Ichiro doing that shit.

He seems to be doing it a ton this year.

fuck you bobby crosby
I hate those new Edge Shave Cream commercials.
Blowers tap dancing aroudn saying "Yuni blows at stealing bases"
so Yuni proves it for him.
DAMMIT YUNI
Emiliano Fruto'
oops.

is making his valiant return to Tacoma

You moron....
There goes a 3-0 count to Lopez
I am actually excited to see Morrow

If he pitches

Me too.
Me too...

if it’s 2 years from now and he’s starting

OK, take 1

Okay, okay

This works

That font is very veteran

not very gritty though.

Should change the text color
pretty good

probably be better if the font matched up a little better

You only get so many fonts in MSpaint
What about photoshop?
way beyond my level
damn

and I’m so lazy…

Well then disregard my comments… I Love it

Morrow v2.0 in
replete with "98 MPH easy gas"
Raul!!?

Snaps!

Raul: Making an average play look spectacular!
RAUL CAN PLAY DEFENSE
how drunk are you?
completely sober

all caps= sarcasm

I follow.
That was a queer series of events
Not that there's anything wrong with that
Uhm, a nice jump on it?

He moved about 5 steps to his left

Even when Raul makes a decent play...

he looks bad doing it.

RAUL "GOLD GLOVE" IBANEZ!!!!!!!!!
Clement

1-1, 2B, 3 BB

He's clogging the basepaths.
Dump Vidro, call up Clement
Vidros clogging the toilet.
This does not surprise me.
They're scared to death to pitch to him, aren't they?
Please stop using that camera angle.

My God.

That was a queer camera angle.

They’re not seriously letting that little shit actually do this are they?

There goes the shutout.
Mike Sweeney is very good at hitting.
But not very good at being healthy.
Do better, stretch
Whatever, Putz is one out away
Hooray for defined closer roles!!!
Morrow allowed 3 HR in 63 innings last year
That looked like the Morrow version of the fabled Suck Pitch
Yeah that was a pretty awful pitch
Active RBI leaders

i.e. we are good sluggers that played with good teammates

No Bonds on that list?
I said good teammates
Kent?

and

active?

Bonds isn't active
he says he is
Damage = Minimal.
I loved that Frank Thomas was an awesome defensive 3B in the Ken Griffey JR. game.

"It's like jacking off before sex." - Japanese dude in Mr. Baseball
woo-hoo!!

off to work…

True of False

Brandon Morrow should be moved into the rotation somehow this year

Moved to minor leagues for the remainder of the year or however much time he needs

then join rotation

Morrow for the hold!
This is the 2nd time they've shown us a graphic with some statistical leaders on it...

and both times Sims commented on how good a group of hitters they are. Thank you mister most obvious factoid ever.

Sims also says

“well stroked”
and
“easy gas”

Putz In. Game Over.

That's pretty sweet.
thanks

had free time today so I messed around with photoshop.

No, Mark Kiger is still not building to the future
Mark Kiger's season line as of this morning: 205/354/295

So shut up about his 9 game hitting streak, FSN.

That's a pretty sweet lookin' OBP.

:P

that line really blows
And that's in AA
What the fuck does Jeff Clement need to do to be called up

Could his bat be any more ready?

He needs to work on his defense, duh
They don't want to disrupt the chemistry...

that Vidro brings to the lineup.
Jeff you know all about chemistry, help explain.

You need to balance the light and heavy elements

removing Vidro swings the balance too far to the left.

Yeah, definitely would mess up the periodic table of the Mariners
Nice work baldy
Walking Beltre for Norton?

Huh?

Is anyone else surprised Beltre isn't swinging at those?
Not low enough
Yuni stole the intentional walk sign.
Man Beltre is awesome

just around a .900 OPS right now.

You can just freeze that in place.

I’ll be happy.

Yeah but he's very overrated.

His batting average isn’t good, and he hasn’t had 100 RBIs since the steroid year in LA. He’s a one-year wonder and is probably the worst contract in the AL.

Don't forget that he created the original zippocat and takes BP with live puppies
Am I the only one

Who rather likes Greg Norton? He seems like a good guy. And that counts to me.

I think he's winning over a lot of fans tonight
Where the fuck does Joe's Tracer get it's data from?
I think the location is fine and they just have a fucked up idea of what the strike zone looks like
Maybe they use the Japanese strike zone

Their’s allegedly is narrower.

no wonder Ichiro and Joh

drew so many more walks…

NORTON IS DA MAN!!!
FUCKIN A GREG NORTON

YOU ARE MY HERO MAN

"Mariners Live: Talk with Erik Bedard!"

Reporter: So Erik, How w-
Bedard: You get six syllables.
Reporter: Why d-.
Bedard: Alright, later.

hahahahahaha
GREG FREAKING NORTON!!!!
GREG NORTON > JOHN MABRY
GREG SMURFING NORTON

BENCH VIDRO NOW

Norton to DH plx
sadflkasdjfkasjdlfkasjdlfksad norton POWER
Putz Not In, Game Over
GOODBYE VIDRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, there goes Putz's save opp.
He on your fantasy team?
Actually, no.

I do not draft closers in the first 5 rounds.

In that case revel in the blowout
Well not exactly a blowout, but you know what I mean
I am reveling now that we scored those extra two runs.
Nice hit

but Clement just got another 2 months in Tacoma

No save for Putz.

My fantasy team is mildly disappointed.

Give Vidro the sausage carts outside Safeco as a severance payoff
I just hope Norton continues to be awesome

so we can flip him for an uberprospect to a national league team at the deadline

He wouldn't go to the National League being a DH.

Also, it’s Vidro who needs to be traded or released at the deadline. Norton is the best move Bavasi made this offseason.

Pinch Hitter
Pinch hitters in the NL usually become a defensive replacement with the double switch.
That's just not true

It FREQUENTLY happens, but not USUALLY

Also, explain Dave Hansen/Lenny Harris/much of Greg Norton’s career thus far/etc

Who and who?

Also,

Frequently = Usually

Two of the greatest pinch hitters of all time

Usually = more than 50% of the time

So what is frequently eqaul???

And “greatest pinch hitters of all time” is such a ridiculous debate. Mark Sweeney would have his name thrown in there and we won’t remember who he is in 5 years.

Fuck spelling.

M’s win.

Frequently = less than 50% of the time but still a good amount

That’s beside the point though. I don’t care who the greatest PHs of all time are, I’m just saying that guys who can’t really play defense and aren’t good enough hitters to be starting DHs frequently find themselves PHing in the NL

Remind me to never buy a Corco dictionary.
Bloomquist up, inning over


YEAH

omg...

so hot.

hahaha

excellent.

I'm uncomfortable
Uncomfortably aroused

Admit it.

This is why we can't have nice things.
a few minutes on DeviantART will show you true pain

probably to the toon of hardcore smurfette/furry hitler slash art.

The sad thing is

I imagine some pretty inappropriate acts have been carried out using this photo

Childhood boners

She caused some

Now I regret posting this
I'm just pleasenly surprised that noone said

“smurferrific” or “smurfalicious”

The resemblence is totally off.

Not impressed.

For some reason I thought I remember them using smurferrific in the show
I haven't seen that show

in +/- 20 years

It's been +/- 15 years for me

For some reason there’s a part of my brain that retains useless knowledge of childhood television shows. Most detailed scientific knowledge from high school? Not a chance. Gargamel’s cat? Azrael, bitches.

Don't make me post the Smurf video
Willie boooo
On second thought, can Norton play a serviceable RF?
define serviceable
(if he continues to hit this well he can)
(that's likely)
That's an adorable question.
Why Broomstick?
We need to hurry and get JJ out there
WFB pinch hitting?

So little confidence in Wilky i guess

If Willie Bloomquist is pinch hitting for you you know your career is fucked
It's a serious cock punch
Seriously, Wilkerson has to be doing a Guardado on the clubhouse trash can right now.
you suck Willie, you rock Norton!
OT: Watching the Dodgers -Rocks game,

Plate Umpire Kerwin Danley was knocked out cold by a 96mph fastball by Brad Penny and passed the glove of Russell Martin, hit Danley in the neck under his face mask. They just took him out in an ambulance on the field. I’ve never seen that happen before.

Glad to see the Mariners doing better!

That is scary

They may need to mandate the neck-flap protector on catchers and umps.

I know you're just visiting

but if you want to see a sexy picture of Smurfette just scroll upwards.

That totally ruined a touching moment of compassion.
Also, 44FAN means something pretty bad here
Mike Cameron is the shit.
Dallas Braden has the most awesome head of hair I've ever seen.
lol, I saw that today.

He looks like he wears a little league helmet, which I think makes his hairdo look hideous.

Ummm.... somehow I mixed up Brain Barton with Dallas Braden.

WTF?

Alright Willie

You actually produced something other than an out. Nicely done.

Broomstick doing his best Willits impersonation
Impressive AB
BROOMSTICK WALK!
Braden needs the fluffer
Honeymoon?

Sims scares me.

I hope Greg Norton knows

he’s not playing again for three weeks.

Norton wouldn't have started until June under Hargrove.
I dunno

I’m surprised we saw him tonight. If Turbo stays shitty, we could see more of him.

*if*?
Heh, hypothetical 'if'
Let Putz go out

Felix will never allow the bullpen in in his starts again anyway.

I think they just photoshopped in some hair for the second picture

Wow he just looked like an ass
He smokes with Harden.
He looks like the kind of guy that hangs out in his driveway drinking Coors Light and learing at underaged girls
(queue smurfette)
Dear god, no

I wasn't actually asking for it.
It sure looks like she's asking for it

i kid i kid no ban plz

She needs a good smurfing.

........

I think we've hit a new smurf-related low
Is smurffette underage?
Good question.
Is it any less wrong either way?
Yeah actually.
No, that'd be Sassette
I wonder what other SBN blog game threads are like
They are about 8 posts long with an updated score.
And no smurfette
I apologize for ever bringing up the smurfs.
That was you?
(shakes head)

yeah

On the bright side

I think the community learned a lesson from this

Swearing is better than the alternative...

?

Living legend

You’re like John Wilkes Booth, or something.

(I brought up Smurfette too.)

I thought that's what we've been talking about.
"Wow, Braden's pitching pretty bad"

“Yeah, he sucks.”
“Fuck this game.”
...

"Seattle gets an unusual amount of rain"

haha

haha

yeah

It's a good thing Coach isn't here tonight
And tonight is different from any other night because...?
You'd know
Damn you
I know one guy that's not going to be invited to my birthday party
I know one guy that is

HAHAHAHAHA
My favorite part? The link:

http://msnbcmedia4.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/051107/051107_chris_hanson_vsml_9a.vsmall.jpg

MSNBC misspelled his name.

That one hits close to home
That's why I just call you "Nick"
It's also partly why I shortened the name to "ningwers"

back when I got my college e-mail address. I didn’t want to have to explain to anyone that I didn’t receive their e-mail because they couldn’t bother to spell my name correctly.

He looks like

he’s been practicing that look for a long time. Many hours in front of the mirror.

Putz still in,
Pointless game over?
ah ah aaaaaaaaah ah ah aah

THUNDER

"They're in need of a W!"

As compared to those teams who are in need of a loss.

The Angels qualify for the latter.
San Francisco Giants
This reminds me of a certain basketball game last January
JJ giveth hope that he might take it away
Why not let the ball bounce off your glove and see if you can catch the guy running to first off guard for the quick DP?
Infield fly
Only with runners on 1st and 2nd.
Speaking of which...
Are you sure?
Do you ever see the umpire signal for an infield-fly rule with just a runner on 1st?

Nope.

I never watch umpires

When there’s something as exciting as an infield pop up at hand.

Because JJ is pitching and we win either way
Not with the way he is pitching.
seriously???
I am tonight.
Getting more serious.
JJ giveth hope THAT HE MIGHT TAKE IT AWAY
I wonder if he learned this from Frankie...
Let them hit it they cannot touch you
Putz not locating the fastball well

Good time for a first-ever LL post

Looks like we won’t need it tonight, but I thought I’d take a crack at it:

Better font
Too much flourescent teal.
I like his face on the towel
I think ThundaPC's avatar would be a better fit.

maybe if we put a squinty-face next to his name

Get it together, man
Ok it's a pressure situation now stop dicking around please

This NEEDS it's own thread
I'd prefer to keep it underground
I had heard about the legend of this

but I have never actually heard it until now.

Thanks for that.

This is the Oakland A's

I haven’t seen Putz this bad in ages.

OH MY GOD THIS IS BULLSHIT
If we blow this...

I’m not watching an M’s game for at leats a month

No, you will be back tomorrow.

Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick
Okay I see the problem

I just put my lucky M’s hat on

Really guys we're good now
Fett puts on his robe and wizard hat

THANK YOU, JAMIE BURKE
That was too fucking much for me
good lord, finally
I'd like everyone to see my previous comment.
AHHHHh waaaay way to scary
About fucking time.
Fucking JJ

trying to give me a heart attack

I thought JJ sex talk was off limits
I think that only applied to gang shower rape.
We have the weirdest rules here
HOLY SMURF!

M’s win!

Dave Sims is very funny
J.J. Grylls

Expert survivalist

and thus begins today's edition of the Man vs Wild / Survivorman debate
Bear Putz

You can’t compare the two man, it’s like staged apples and wilderness oranges.

It's Mario Kart time!

I’m out

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's over

JJ shoulda come out somewhere during the last seven cockpunches

I liked the way Sims called the end of that

Game over resume normal breathing!

Norton is a TRUE veteran
So that was most uncomfortable
More or less so than Smurfette?
We really need to stop with that.

I’m looking at you, JI.

Whatever dude.
Lesson one

Don’t take me seriously.

I love you.

I don't know about JI, but I sure as hell wouldn't

like to have a butthole love me.

Drop the e

And then we have some respect.

We also don't need to promote jew-killing... *cough*
Even when you yourself are Jewish?
Still inappropiate.
Got it.

End of subthread.

I'm Jewish and disapprove
So do I.

Passover was terrible for me though.

End of subthread, again.

See, this is the internet, where you are a completely

anonymous entity. You can’t be excused for those types of “jokes”—who says you’re telling the truth?

I thought you were a Mandalorian
No one understands

So I say Jewish to cover myself

Huh?
Jordan and I understand
Good.

I have low capacity.

I'm

half black, a quarter Jewish, 3/5ths Italian, 1/4 British, and 1/16 Sweed, and a woman, so I can say anything I want.

So you're about 166% of a person

You can make fun of fat people too!

Like everyone here

Doesn’t already? I’m thinking of a particular.

You don't have to be fat to make fun of fat people.
More

I could look away from Smurfette

I couldn't.
Smurfette wasn't quite the part of my childhood

That Drew Barrymore was.

...

From ET I imagine
THANK YOU Norton.

Oh, and JJ’s slider sucks bulbous, sweaty, hairy, donkey balls.

Putz Woooohmygodneverdothatagain!
BEDARD MOUTH THING

Someone explain it to me here so I don’t have to go start a thread on it.

He had some kind of mysterious mouthguard.
Seriously

Or was that just giving me an answer?

But seriously this is why we won

It was hanging next to me the whole time and I forgot about it till that moment

The hat

Not that other stuff

Thanks for the clarification >.>
What?
The question mark implies that nobody knows why we won
Fett for biggest contribution
I don't even know why they bother interviewing Squinty

When it’s not the offseason. Like, he’s just gonna tell you everything you know, cept for the occasional “Richie’s gonna round the bases 40 times” and stuff.

TOMORROW IS FELIX DAY

Today here on the East Coast

Where are you?
New York
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan?
Not the city... upstate

But my home is Sammamish, WA

Oh got it.

Good to know.

I do enjoy the city when school's off though
My sister lived there for a year and a half or so

I couldn’t handle visits for more than 4 days at a time.

THE EAST COAST HAS FELIX DAY BIAS
Yeah those fuckers get it first
Censorship please.
Says "butthol"
It was meant to incite

“Yeah, those smurfers get it first.”

Oh snap.

Kreuger just dissed the East Coast.

ITS ON

God damn I'm tired of saving the rec center
Is this some feature I am unaware of?
No, joke about teen drama plots
I haven't seen that South Park in forever
In My top five episodes
My #1

Scott Tennorman Must Die

Beat me to it

Chili ConCarnival.

wrong

1. Death Camp of Tolerance
2. the entire second half of season 6
3. Woodland Critter Christmas
4. F’d in the A
5. Kenny Dies

The Woodland Critter Christmas episode is my litmus test for whether a girl is dateable
That's a good place to start.

...along with the Big Lebowski.

Towlie is my favorite episode ever

I don’t even smoke weed anymore and it’s still hilarious to me.

A Million Little Fibers?
No no, the original Towlie episode
What happened in that one?
Dude, if you haven't seen it....

I don’t want to ruin it for you, watch it online. The episode name is “Towelie” #73. It’s awesome.

Alright

Thanks for the title.

My first memory of SP

“OH MY GOD IT’S COMING STRAIGHT FOR US”

That is my first and last memory of South Park.

I watched the first 3 episodes and it got old.

Thats a bummer

Its only gotten stale for me over the past season and a half, although I think they still occasionally put together some good stuff.

ok

Woodland Critter Christmas
Cripple Fight
Passion of the Jew
Chinpokomon
All About Mormons
...and I might throw in Fatbutt and Pancake-head simply because Cartman giving ben affleck a handjob makes me laugh, and the ending with Mitch Connors is pretty epic

Although the season 11 and 12 have been pretty weak, the Imaginationland trilogy was pretty awesome

The Imaginationland trilogy

That was good stuff. Especially episodes 2 and 3.

And the last line

In All About Mormons is the best ever. That kid saying it to Stan.

haha yeah and then Cartman

damn, that kid’s cool…

Oh, my...

Cartman is a genius.

dude, how do you get so many good SP pics

is that the TV card too?

the ones that I find on image search never work

internets
damn I always put them up, but after 20 people say "fail"

I refresh and see that the picture just says “visit soutpark.com” or something

allaboutsp.com

or southparkzone.com

they have episodes there, not pictures
No pictures?

My bad.

they have some pictures

The new SP site is awesome.

oh yeah, i know

i love the uncensored episodes

Hey, it puts food on our families.
These Vern Fonk commercials

...

We don't disrespect the Fonk here
Who is he anyway?
The actual Vern Fonk is dead

He was an insurance salesman, and his chain of insurance places is still going today. But these guys have been doing commercials for him since forever.

Oh, peculiar.

So it’s like a “the king is dead, long live the king” thing?

They were doing them even well before he died

I’m still not exactly sure what the premise is for these guys doing these commercials for Vern Fonk in the first place.

Also, needless to say, the Vern Fonk guy in the commercials isn’t him.

It's an insurance company that makes awesome commercials
Though the nature of wins, ERA, and sample size are all against this being relevant

It’s nice to say our Top 3 are 7-0 with a 2.19 ERA combined.

I'm really starting to believe

Felix will be the Cy Young winner this year. If he has mastered that changeup as well as he has shown so far there is no contest, he could be the best pitcher in baseball with such command of that pitch. Lefties do not stand a chance against him with that and he already owns righties, so it is completely unfair to any hitter to face him.

Of course, Bedard may end up in the top 10 as well, tonight gave me some serious hope. This season isn’t over yet, as crappy as our offense is.

Not if his record is 7-0

The BBWAA only understands W-L and ERA, and you have to have both… no matter how lights out Felix is (and he definitely is), he’s a victim of shitty offense
