HAHAHA

That's gotta be the Official 9th inning Logo until JJ is back

That is pretty sweet. Not gonna lie

I agree with this

excellent

Well done.

Speaking of Rhodes

Think they'll try to hurry him back because of this?

Picture is super plus good

Very nice!

I heartily approve

of that picture.

I prefer a picture of Ayala..but nice

Don't you -ever- say that name here again

EVER!

You just say that, but will never experience the pain.

No, that caption would read:

"Ayala in, loss imminent"

Sean Green is very similar to Silva

minus the sidearm thing

Can we put a picture of Eddie G. in

holding a gas can and a blow torch?

Well, guess Green isn't the closer tonight.

I just heard Batista is warming up

can anyone confirm?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Today is his throw day, isn't it?

that's right

Thats what they said in the pregame yea

Dammit, reply to the comment above.

Sean Green has a split? Huh?

Sounds like the wave is going on.

:(

STOPTHEWAVE(.com)

This Sean Green kid is pretty good

THE WAVE MUST DIE

I tried to stop it to no avail! :(

Just Let Green Pitch the 9th

3 run lead, off day tomorrow

I know it applies to pretty much everyone

but if Green could improve his command just 5-10%, he'd be unbelievable.

Has your traffic gone up with the new software Jeff?

These game threads are selling like hotcakes.

Hard to tell since it goes up anyway every season

but if you think tonight's crazy, go back two days. My keyboard caught fire.

Dammit Dave, NO!

It's never nice to see/hear the wave.

Agree - eff the wave.

Funny story

Jeff and I are from San Diego where idiots do the wave during no hit bids and amazingly entertaining games.

So we have to deal with this crap all the time at Petco. But at OPENING DAY in Minnesota on Monday, this asshole kid in our section kept on trying to get the GA outfield seats to do the wave and was YELLING at people who wouldn't do it. I kept on yelling right back at him, "THE WAVE SUCKS BALLS." And "GO HOME WAVE BOY." Well eventually he pissed off the ushers and they sat next to him. They were talking to him for a while and eventually this kid (we guessed 18-19) starts BAWLING. We can't help but laugh at this man-cunt. So he's absolutely retarded-sobbing and we can't feel bad for his stupid actions.

As he is being ushered out, with tears still on his face ( we surmised they checked his ID, discovered he was under-age and drunk and booted him for that reason) he's yelling at our section with venom "THANKS FOR REPORTING ME GUYS, THANKS! I'M A REAL TWINS FAN :points at his giveaway Twins hat:" I promptly yelled back at him. "Real fans don't do the wave!!"

My section cheered, and I was in a Mets Beltran jersey and Mets hat. They were willing to cheer me even though we had stolen Santana from them. (I don't usually do the jersey thing when my team isn't playing but it was the national holiday of opening day.

Great story, I about busted a nut.

Thanks

Jeff knows my hatred for the wave has no bounds.

This is absolutely true

Seriously

I hate MN sports fans. They make Southern California fans seem bearable, mostly because SC doesn't have many teams that are dominant.

I pantsed a guy trying to do the wave once.

During the 9th inning of a 1 run game. He was removed from the stadium for indecent exposure. One of my better moments.

I love you

You do the wave hating nation proud.

Good ol' days

I remember last year with Sean Green and Sean White..Didn't know which one sucked early on, so I just got anxious when a "Sean" came in.

I think it was Sean White, before they invented an injury for him

Fully aware now...but yes...I wish I was good enough to get to the big leagues

And then have an injury named for my sucky-ness....but nothing like anal fissures. No one has that.

Good call

I ehohelled.

In Green I Have More Trust Than Most Other Middle Relief Pitchers

Green is the shit

The staying power of the wave

is astonishing.

Like, give it up already, eh?

I fail to understand it.

If the wave never existed before, and you tried to invent it, people would beat the shit out of you

it's the perfect example of something that people do simply because they've been doing it forever.

fuck Deion Branch

Sean Green is the seattle pride of Louisville.

Not gonna lie...

the M's are kind of a relief pitcher puppy mill.

I don't wanna see how they create them.....

Woo!

I agree with the "keep him in" sentiment.

Lowe in the 9th please.

If only because I picked him up in a fantasy league today.

Another awesome Green appearance

Just keep him away from lefties and the kid gold, Jerry, gold!

kid is*

Dammit

due up in 9th

lefty lefty lefty

So let's bring in Batista!

If only RRS weren't hanging out in Tacoma like he isn't.

RRS should be the closer.

Yep, we needabatista

Batista closing.

So says Brett from the game.

Sounds about right

Oh shit, Beluga Tits warming up

Did we not learn from Toronto in 2005?

Batista sucked as a closer.

This is stupid.

CL0S3R B4T15T4

woot

that hurt to read

B37U64 T1T5

now im trippin balls

yay!

Beluga Tits for the save!

Interesting.

Batista vs 3 lefites??

RRS????

wait a second

THAT MAKES SENSE

good call, forget it then

Batista is going to strike out 4 gusy in the ninth

the way this game is going

Quick, somehow score more runs Ms

maybe richie will give us some insurance...

haha

Yes, when he quits baseball...

and sells insurance to make a living.

Haha yeah

And maybe these paint chips will help me study

Geico

So easy, Big Richie can do it

I can just see him doing something in a commercial like that

and as they say that he trips and breaks his ankle

Richie: (falls, breaks ankle)
Bavasi: I... I had no idea he would suck this much.
Caveman: Yeah, well, maybe you should have done your research.

Get a couple more runs

Let's GSP this inning

Richie is an out machine

Well.

Mac is known to make smart decisions.
...

Kiss my balls Sims

Fuck you Sims.

I'll boo if I want.

We're killing him

because he sucks

my mom always said to kill them with kindness :)

I'd love to see a standing ovation for an 0-4, 3 k night

At least Richie's making solid contact

Sims told me to "lay off"

and he said it with conviction.

Sims...Sexson sucks. You know that

Dave Sims

He sucked all year last year too. This is not a new trend.

Sexson completes another 0-for night

Beltre awesome

Blow it open

King Awesome!

very nice

mr. beltre

Ah Sims..

Thanks for the hint of "dont hate him"

KING AWESOME

never lets me down

Awesome, King

Beltre!

Someone get him home.

Funk Blast right here

I finally installed Mosaic on my computer.

This program fucking rocks.

NCSA Mosaic? Or some other mosaic

Its pretty fucking badass

Ive been loving it since they got it working alright... its still a little glitchy, but no major complaints

I wasn't able to run the program on my old laptop, but my new MacBook Pro was built for this kind of performance.

It took me a while to write my last post

Jeff, you have to be proud I didn't just go over and push him to fall to his death and land on Torii Hunter.

I wouldn't have minded that so much

shit.

how do i post pics again?

*cough*

If you can't figure it out then I guess I'm proud to be the only SBN writer with a reader in preschool

I always relied on the html link.

Memorizing is for pussies

Shit, how did I miss that.

I plead ignorance.

Don't worry, we can't charge four year olds as adults

Needs more Hyphen :(

Well, here goes nothing....

Beluga is Closer?

Beluga in. Game over.

Its normally

Beluga in. Game starts.

Batista's not closing?

What?

Batista is much whiter than I remember

Oh shit

Green vs lefties. Squinty wants to throw this lead away.

Okay well Green is even worse than Batista here

Is Mac secretly reading this?

Mac is still retarded

So this is a bad idea

!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!??!?!?!?!?

FUCKING CHRIST

Where the fuck was that?

RIGHT DOWN THE PIPE

At least it's not Ho-Ram in, game over

there we go

douchebags

That's a funny looking ball

About time Squinty

Really? Wow..

Can we please see RRS? Guh.. cmon Tits!

RRS WOOOOOOOO!

Oh not Sqinty McClusterfuck is still a complete retarded ass hat inbred fas baby with downs syndrome

OK...

So what was the point of Sean Green being in there again?

To make the game exciting

Incompetence every year

hahah come on Tits

This guy reminds me of Willie Randolph

Up 13 runs he had Pedro Feliciano and Billy Wagner pitch the 8th and 9th respectively.

Jeff

The worst part is we know that them being in is meaningless and while we have an off-day tomorrow, I can see Willie not letting Billy pitch all three games of the Braves series because he can't pitch 4 times in 5 days.

He slays me, that Widiot.

It's funny how "he slays me" means something completely different from "he kills me"

I do not feel 100% confident in this move

I'm beginning to sense an angry rant

I don't get it, we didn't use RRS yesterday and tomorrow is an offday

RRS has yet to see the field IIRC

Yeah that's right

Beluga in? Runner on?

excuse me while I go cook a roast between pitches.

I was in the middle of a big swig of orange juice

almost destroyed my computer

Maclaren doesn't know about RRS

RRS's position on the big board is LR

So he's not allowed to come in here.

Ok, after what happened last night

and what happened earlier today, I don't think I could handle another blown save here.

Totally.

Still a bit upset over last night.

Like I said before

Sounds about right.

fuck you player A

outstanding player A highlight

those are bad closer numbers :S

Okay, that actually makes sense

Squinty didn't want to pitch to Hamilton, so he went ahead and kept Green in to pitch around him, THEN got Beluga Tits.

Uh why wouldn't you want to pitch to the leadoff batter with a three-run lead

He injured our closer

So you throw at his head.

I wonder if he has issues standing in the batters box

with all that white chalk around him....

Not sure how this went unnoticed, but I approve. *rec*

Thanks to Brett for commenting and bringing this to my attention.

*rec* as well. Well done sir!

you put one of ours in the hospital

we put two of yours in the morgue

No, the pitch to the worst player in the AL injured our closer

That was Young

he took offense to my relentless badgering.

Makes more sense than 'keep sidearm middle reliever in game with stand-in closer warming up to pitch to opposite-handed slugger, who destroys everything, just because'

Now THAT is a long-ass title

Why not pitch to Hamilton...

the worst thing that happens is its 4-2 and they have a little momentum.

we're up by 4 runs, fuck em

who cares if he goes yard?

If by 4 you mean 3.. then yea!

4-1=3

Still more informed than Sqinty

Raul

That's Ichi's ball bitch

Jones would have had that...

wait what the hell!?

AND RAUL IS STILL PLAYING JOY

CHOKE ON A RUSTY DILDO AND DIE JOHNNY MAC

Dildoes oxidize?

IF THEY ARE MADE OUT OF JAGGED METAL YES

dildoes (is this really the plural?) have iron in them?

no its, 'dilods'

we've been over this

dildos

fail

I don't think we ever really established it either way

yes we have

we had an entire sub thread about this

I thought better of linking . . ..

good thing we have a 5 man bench

do they make oxidized dildoes?

THATS A FUCKING OUT IF MAC DOES HIS JOB

FUCK YOU UP YOUR ASS SQUINTY

GODDAMN HE MAKES ME WANT TO SHAKE A BABY

2 quick outs

1 more

Eww at the contact he made on that one

Lucky it went right to Ichiro

I don't understand why they don't just throw down on those defensive indifferences

It's baffling

You're giving away a free chance at ending the game.

Absolutely!

At worst you have a meaningless run advance; at best you have an out. Weird.

Jones would've had that

anyone not Raul would've had that

Stop being a pansy

And catch the damn ball Raul.

Adam Jones

Would have had that

I would have

had that. I notice you guys do the same thing we do whenever a bad play is made...Lastings would have had that.

be slower Raul. I dare you

fuck you raul

easy now

I stand by my statement

Adam Jones makes that play

Ah, now it works... Jones would have had that

Whats the point of getting Batista to pitch?

We have rested BP guys ready to go....

He's a proven closer...

a veteran that's been through wars.

None of them have been through wars

Take one for the team, you spasming corpse

Charlton Heston Jimerson catches that too fwiw

MARINERS WIN!

JINX

Fuck You

Batista In. Game Over.

Too late!

OH REALLY?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Don't tempt me, I have 28 more!

at least be thread friendly

CHEMO THIS CANCER OFF OF THIS BLOG

Hypercolor T-Shirts!!

...just saying they would be cool uniforms...

SUCCESS!!!!!

Jeter would have dove head first into the stands for that ball

He is the best defensive shortstop in the game

:-/

WOOOOOO WIN!

not even Richie can fuck it up!

YOU SUCK SEXSON

M'S WIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh thank god.

BELUGA TITS IN, GAME OVER!

Good thing we have

Charlton Jimerson
Willie Bloomquist
to play LF.

SEXSON YOU CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER

Haha Sexson is awful

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

M's WIN!!!!!!

hahaha even Sexson can't fuck that one up badly enough

M'S WIN

SAVED BY TITS

We should just put Putz in the rotation now, keep it like this

RRS 4 rotati0n plz

Well we did the minimum, 2/3

Both the guys who needed to be replaced failed miserably.

DIAF SQUINTY

Fuck I almost busted a gut on that Sexson bumble

I woulda DFA'd him

Die in a Fire by Arson

Looked safe to me.

alright.

series win. I'll take it. Do it again in Baltimore and we're fine.

I almost wish Sexson would have booted it

so we could boo him more.

Celebrating a Mariners win while at work? Not as fun.

But Jesus Richie.. can you try any harder to suck? Put that effort in to NOT sucking and you may have somethin..

tits FTW!!!

Tits In.

Game Over.

Oh great.

Please tell me this isn't a regular thing now.

Ribs heal quickly, right?

sadly you can't fix stupid

Now you have twice as many reasons to hope so

Mine took a few weeks to heal

Though at the same time mine were broken.

So therefore your injury has limited to no applicability to the current situation

Who doesn't love Tits?

He's a great pitcher?

Fuck

No ? obviously.

That game was so bizzarre

it made firefox crash when it ended.

Good cover by Tits by the way

That's something that would have been easy to forget to do coming in out of the pen.

Turbo says

He feels younger

Which is funny since he's actually the complete opposite

Lets review....

Vidro hits the Mariner's first homerun.
Vidro steals a base.
Jose Lopez hit's the Mariner's second homerun.
Silva goes 7 innings, 116 pitches, 5Ks
Batista comes in and gets the save.

Welcome to Negative World.

yeah, I'm asking for a raise tomorrow.

Shouldn't you ask for a pay decrease?

It's a weird world my friend.

Grad students may get pay increases when Lopez hits a FB.

And Richie still blows

Yup, even in negative world.

Sexson was still awful

I guess he was already from negative world

Turbo wants Mantank to hurry up so he can get celebratory hot dogs

Back to Raul "running" for that bloop near the foul line

Mark McLemore makes that play. And they're back spasm buddies.

Richie Sexson

Nixes Heroics

Woo hoo, I did an anagram.

If Richie weren't so perfect this would be the new site logo

I wish we could change the default avatar to this...

then I would unblock them

You gotta do something with it.

but someone's gotta fix the orange trim

I nominate this for new site logo anyway.

Richie Sexson

blows mad horse cock.

I didn't.

Game over in time for South Park and UFO Hunters

yeeeeessss

Hoffman - blown save

You're a first-ballot HOF'er but it's over dude. retire.

yeah that was smoked...

his retirement is well past due

He was decent last year...

...well at least until....

I miss being able to go to the stadium and see everyone flip out at Hells Bells

ugh, now he's hung with the L. that was a freakin bomb.

still haven't forgiven him for the 1-game playoff against the Rocks last year.

yep, now it sounds like an oddity

and out of place downtown.

The one part of Padres games that used to be exciting

Gaslamp game thread react to Hoffy blown save:

no idea what it means but it is somehow awesome.

Them and their unicorns

that sandwich looks delicious.

i'm looking for the wiki

instead, this:

Cammy was ambiguous before ambig was hip

The hair!

Must...wear...zubaz...

One of those guys is dead

The other's career is on life support.

thank christ i had to work late

i was offered free tix to that train wreck of a game.

sandwich? i thought that was a retarded hot dog,

If the bit that connects both sides of the bun tears apart it becomes a sandwich

i hate it when that happens! buns fail.

also i decided i don't care what the unicorn means. let the Pads fans have their weird gay secrets.

Hot dog buns need better connective tissue

So does JJ Putz.

>:(

arrrrgrhhhgggggg

mild. mild. mild.

LOLest subthread of the thread.

For those who havn't noticed,

GS52 got his first save:

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2008_04_02_tbamlb_balmlb_1&mode=wrap

good for George

but this series with Bmore is going to be like a sad reunion with ex's

Hopefully we'll never need to see him.

WOO!

I have him on my fantasy team!

For some reaon

I like Batista. I know he's not that good and he makes a fair amount of mistakes and can't possibly be dominant but I just like watching him pitch. I can't really explain it because nothing he does is very exciting and usually he is just barely making it. Its weird, I know.

hmm... sounds familiar...

i was howling when Mac brought in him in relief of Felix last year at Petco, but shit if it didn't work then and again tonight.

that's why he makes the BIG bucks.

Giants have bases loaded with 1 out

I'd still be shocked if they scored.

Does anyone else think

Brad Wilkerson is the most squirrelly looking mother fucker ever?

It looks like he WANTS to get punched in the head.

he reminds me of the non-Rick Moranis McKenzie brother in strange brew

Dave Thomas?

yup, that's it!

Maybe it's the squinty face, but I think there is a resemblance.

I take it back.

At least it isn't a fat guy in a track suit with a bunny head.

Ok so I just woke up

What. The. Fuck.

I need your opinion of why this is on the HH welcome area:

"Welcome to Los Angeles of Anaheim. Halos Heaven is an Angels Fan Site."

I need to know why you went to Halos Heaven on purpose.
