First

That's a lot easier to pull off now.

We're winning wheeee

Damn right Matthew

Awful swing from Crawford. Woo

Is it wrong

that I read this to the beat of Soulja Boy?

NVM, I don't need to ask.

All kinds of wrong

Dear Erik,

Fly balls are bad.

Sincerely,
Everyone.

Garza threw 70 pitches in 2.2 innings?

How did that happen?

He was hurt, and his control was REALLY bad.

Remember when we used to average 150 comments a game?

Now we're averaging over 1100.

That is just a wicked pitch.

So that was destroyed.

so that was crushed...

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Smash!

Enjoying the trade, Brett?

Damn!

What the hell?

Holy fuck, we need more GBs

"Well, theres one"

Fantasy points.

More bendy things, Erik

Ooooh that is sucktastic

Oops.

Damn it, Bedard, stop doing that.

Shouldn't you be cheering for our demise?

that hurt my fantasy team

goddamit bedard

Lucky for us, their bullpen has to pitch 6 innings

OH COME ON

That was a strike.

Gameday disagrees

his curve

fools the umps too.

BTW, this is the 8th consecutive game that we've had the lead at some point.

it's2001 all over again!

Without the wins

So uh, many of those were strikes.

Well...

M's will continue the streak of losing games in which they lead...

Stop walking people.

Its only the third

this is going to be a long game.

It's ok, Gomes is up.

Inning over.

We should never assume anything is given to us.

We're Mariner fans, remember?

Why do I have the intuition that

that I'm going to want to kick you in the balls for that post after this AB?

Dammit no more walks

Only bendy things please.

Gomes is a fastball only hitter.

haha, Randy Marsh

That gets me every time

Damn it Richie.

Terrible throw

Wow, that was badly handled.

Ok that was sad.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

Bedard is going to put me on a rollercoaster this year

I'll swing from hating the HR's he serves up to immediately loving the curve, and then hatign the next hit.

God damn

Can't even get the guy on a pickoff.

FUCK

God damn ittttttt

That's what Bedard thinks of you, Gnome

Well, this sucks.

son of a mother

The hell? This inning should be over.

The lead.

We're about to lose it.

Way to get out of the way, Gomes.

Looked like you really wanted to avoid that one. Not like you were wearing elbow pads or anything.

Nope.

It's cool

Bedard has it.

Aybar looks like a demon

Just get this last out already.

Take 2...

Aybar up, inning OVAH!

You really need to stop this.

What? I don't want him to jinx it?

What's wrong with that?

Go die in a vat of acid >:(

Fuck you you mega-cunt.

FUCK.

And you added the Boston accent and everything.

AAAAHHHH! AJ would've had that!

Jones...well, you know.

God I hate Raul Ibanez

NOOO, Don't hit towards Raul

FUCK YOU RAUL

RAUL IBANEZ IS SHOWING OFF HIS RANGE

Fuck all.

This is fun....

Well that lead was fun while it lasted

Soooo....not liking this

Why did I think that was an our?

Fuck.

I can honestly say, I don't know.

It's hard to believe he's as bad as Manny

But holy shit Ibanez is awful.

Raul thinks he is a ballerina out there

FUCKING I WOULD'VE HAD THAT

Adam Jones and stuff

god dammit

no... i insist... you take the lead.

fuck you erik

How is it Bedard's fault?

Richie + Raul = shitty defense = not Erik's doing.

i guess the 2 homers aren't his fault either?

The Riggans homer was chance.

I'll spot you Pena.

chance? did he put all his money on 28 and hit it?

it was a bad curve and he hit it out

i don't brush off 2 homers from a guy we gave up half our farm system for

he has to earn my trust

It went only one row into the stands.

In a lot of other parks, that's just a long fly ball.

Jesus Raul.

Ok Mariners, you have an hour before I turn the tv off. Give me a reason not to.

at this rate we'll only be thru the 5th by then

That little hop thing Raul just did was snazzy.

He must be trying out for SwanLake or something

Crazy Legs!

Jones...

FUCK FUCK FUCK

Well this is not awesome.

I'd rather be playing mogul

So is Bedard's velocity down a bit

or is the radar gun off?

Radar gun is off. Check gameday.

Inning over.

Well, that sucked.

Shocked Lopez didn't find a way to drop that

and subsequently throw the ball into the stands.

Inning over

Damage done

about bloody time

The M's were 75-0 last year when leading after 8

whoa

This team is that much worse without Putz

Inning OVAH!

I never specified when.

So, Richie and Raul are the goats.

Richie for throwing a weak off-the-mark lob on a sure pickoff to end the inning, and Raul for having the range of an eighty-five year old.

Raul has range?

Fuck Raul and Fuck Richie

Should still be 3-2 with ~10 pitches less for Erik

I already hate this commercial.

You know what would be awsome?

If one of you master photoshoppers could make one of a "bat signal" only instead of a bat, it's Kenny Lofton.

Screw you for smiling, Sims

Blowers has the right idea.

So...

Eight games played, eight games in which Seattle has led.

And they've blown it darn near every time...

excellent

YUNI YUNI YUNI YUNI

Yuni is the SHIT!

Yuni for not-9th!

Thank god Scott Dohmann sucks.

YuniDouble yessss

Seriously how is Yuni doing this well

Cause Yuni is awesome and on the short list of people that need to keep breathing

Yay for our good hiter(s)

Fail.

Fuck.

Nothing a quick punctuation adjustment can't fix.

Yay for our good! Hi, ter(s).

Do you know anybody named Ter(s)?

Actually, my uncle's name is ter(s)

Weird

Shit Ichiro almost beat that out.

Fuck yeah Lopez

Let's drive Yuni in.

SQUEEEEEEZE

FUCK IT MAKE IT HAPPEN

False hope

Springs eternal

Nice job Lopez.

Atta Baby Lopez

So far, you fucking rock

W00t, Lopez!!!

NICE SAC FLY

Jose Lopez circa 2007 doesn't do that

Another good at bat by Lopez.

odds the m's give back the lead next inning?

You shut your whore mouth.

Oh, and 4-1

4-2

The Riggins homer may have been chance, but it's still a homer.

SOOOO close

yay anyway

It'll work

I guess.

That'll get the job done

Good enough.

In the lead again

But for how long?

That'll do, Loafie.

That'll do.

Lopez is 1337.

Good enough.

So why are you cheering for the M's?

We all wish a grave death for the Angels season.

No competition is boring.

Beltre needs

someone to put a shock collar on him, and activate it everytime he chases a crappy pitch.

Nice reach

he actually hit his kryptonite pitch

Well at least KA

got a hit out of that swing.

Best way to use current roster

Raul> DH vs. RHP
Vidro>DH vs. LHP only
Jimerson> LF

Make it happen.

Well if you keep swinging at those

you're going to get a hit from it here and there.

hahaha

"McLaren trying to figure out........ trying to figure anything out"

YEAH KING AWESOME YEAH

Haha what a horrible hit.

That was a shitty at bat.

Whatever, I like the result.

So where's the delay?

MLB.tv or Lookout Landing? I'm listening on the radio/watching on Yahoo GameChannel, and it seems like all the comments for plays come in a couple minutes after things happen.

I'm watching the actual TV broadcast, so use that as a starting point

Sit on a broom handle Upton

Fuck you Raul

CLAP CLAP CLAP

Only way it would be better is if the background orange was turned blue

but BRAVO

I love it.

But something deep inside of me is telling me to tell you to fuck off for misusing Griffey. Oh well, I'll suppress it.

Oh wait, you didn't.

Ignore.

I thought it was Griffey at first as well.

It's not.

IT wasn't Griffey.

It's Bonds Body. Orginal:

Well that just upped it on the Awesome Meter.

Ibanez would not have caught that

World Class athlete?

Or World Class Randy Winn Banana Route?

::closes his eyes::

The last time I saw someone make a play like that against us was Hamilton. That game didn't end well.

Damn you and your skills, Upton

The only guy that could have not caught it

hit it.

Sweet Sacajawea

It's only the 4th.

srsly this is gonna be like a 4 hour game at least

I'm gonna have to take a break

Yeah. On the one hand, I love Bedard's slow, methodical motion. Fun to watch

But on the other hand, I hate Bedard's slow, methodical motion. Painful to sit through

Good for me

Instead of missing half the game because of work, I only missed about 1/3rd.

Bedard's only at 51 pitches?

Wow.

Another K.

That curveball is entirely unfair.

Step away from the ledge.

Detroit is 0-7

Jesus. SSS and all, but still...

I don't know why

but Detroit is starting to remind me of our horrific 2004 start.

Maybe it's the identical 0-6 starts.

Ha Detriot sucks

YOU GOT OWNED, BOY

Hey guys, I'm home.

Bedard is just gonna shut these guys down now

Sounded like a nice catch

Ichiro is good.

Jones makes that catch too

Ibanez does not.

Ichiro is good.

He gave Wilk the death stare afterwards

"Stay the fuck out of my zone, bitch."

My zone, meaning all the green parts between the walls

And he said...

I cut you foo...

LIKE THAT UMPIRE

Uh oh

Ichiro just shot Wilkerson that look for not getting out of the way.
Wilk is fucked

Jason Ellison

will be visiting Wilk's room tonight.

Wilk's getting cupcaked

That string of posts sounds a little dirty

Jason Ellison will be visiting Wilk's room to cupcake him...

Good thing Blanton's nickname wasn't T-bag.

Or Tossed-Salad

Poor guy.

Oh well, yay us! No more Wilkerson

Everyone seems to forget that

Iwamura played tons of second base in Japan

What the fuck kind of Devil Ray is that??

Exactly my thought.

I'll take dancing Homer anyday over THAT

What a catastrophe of a mascot.

Now that they're called the Rays

in a few years they ought to change their logo into a sun beam.

Thats an ugly mascot

Not Philly Phanatic ugly, but ugly nonetheless

The Philly Phanatic is a sexy beast

You shut your mouth.

Maybe if you're a fan of Nasal Sex

On that note...

I withdraw my original comment

Holes exist for a reason

An out

I'm calling it!

Look at that

Holy shit you should go into sports betting

n/s

I wish I was as good as you.

Cry.

Another Rays pitcher?

Does Joe Maddon know it's only the 5th inning?

Fuck it

Let them blow up the bullpen, it's a 4 game series.

you may want to re-check the schedule

You want your team to stop being a 100 loss team

you have to stop managing like a 100 loss manager.

Yeah so Richie is giving us a lot more hope

than last year

It just makes the inevitable let-down

that much harder to deal with

It's his payback for us booing him

Detroit shut out by Sox, now 0-7

I'm going to go out on a limb

and say that nobody that has ever started out 0-7 has ever made the playoffs.

Walks are good...

Hey, Brad Walkerson

I like him much better than Brad WilKKKKKerson

7 BB:6 K right now.

It's like a True Three Outcomes Guy

that forgot one of them.

Sexson's like that, too.

Nice AB for Wilk

Wilkerson, you

are no longer "Wilkersuck" in my eyes.

I like Wilkerson

Walks never slump

Radial nerve irritation

for Matt Garza?

he hit his funny bone

That'll take the shit-eating grin off his face

Now if only they could do something about his eyes

Okay, that pic's actually kinda funny

He looks absolutely fucking retarded

Just like...

I am so glad somebody saved this.

Its the picture on Yahoo sports

haha, Yahoo still hasn't changed it.

This was the pic on MLB.com before they swapped it out, IIRC.

Not as good as...

A little Howie Mandel-ish

Which is a lot more Howie Mandel-ish than anyone really wants to be...

"So, Strike Or No Strike?"

Hypothetical walk count for day: 6

Don't you date run Brad.

Looks like people are starting to figure out that Wilkerson is

A STOLEN BASE MACHINE!

Radial Nerve Irritation for Garza?

woah....that's not good. That's an MRI away from TJ surgery like bad.

Sounds sexy

Sounds like something a real man pitches through.

2 Pick off attempts

Wilk? Wtf?

nice eye Jose

I'm calling a walk

people really need to stop calling things

I offically give up.

Why aren't you in a vat of acid yet >:(

You put me in the .01 M variety. A mere tingling sensation.

What the hell is Glover scared of?

Did he mistake Brad Wilkerson for Juan Pierre? Somebody get that man some glasses.

Over 100 pitches for the Rays so far

Pull them!

Put in the Red Sox!

Things aren't looking so up for Kenji

If he fouls off a meatball that juicy.

Kenji can't buy a hit.

Fucking A Kenji.

God I love posts like these.

Crap

Bartlett defense paying off.

Rob Johnson for C!!!!

We want ROB!!

He's the next Dan Wilson!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I don't.

Well I figured

That when I said "we" people would automatically think "everyone but Double06"

Shit.

He's trying. Nearly an infield hit earlier, and that liner there. Tough luck

Well

We got a good'n here huh...

our scoring is through. we reached 4 runs.

Fairlyball!

Bedard better throw two more pitches to get out of this

If we want to not use our Pen

Bad pitch.

Got lucky there.

Would you put the fucking ball in play already?

Nicely done.

That was scary

Snore.

This is one boring game.

New ballpark design.

Holy smokes that looks gorgeous.

Gotta say

That's not a bad looking stadium. Can't wait to see it completed

You can make it wet

If you really crank it...

Dave Simms must never leave

Just getting in

How has Bedard looked?

Overall solid.

Two HRs, BB, HBP, two pussy hits, and a Raul adventure in LF, and of course the Ks. Solid game.

adequate and solid

Those are definitely words I was hoping we'd use to describe him....

He's never really been good in April

The best is yet to come

Ehh, up and down.

He's given up a couple of home runs (One of which was absolutely crushed), been giving up fly balls. His curve does look great today, though.

Pretty good.

Gave up 2 long balls, pretty low pitch count considering some of the jams he's been in.

In other words, better than Opening Day but plenty of room to improve.

Hooray!

I've finally convinced my dad that ERA is a lousy metric!

for now

Talk to him tomorrow. I have that breakthrough with my Paps all the time

Good Job. I gave up trying to convince my co-workers

I also had a LONG conversation about Derek Jeter, and it played out just like that newspaper article. "But he dives a lot!" etc.

Dammit Jeter.

I have this argument all the time with my friends.

"He dives a lot! He's good!"

Me: He's always out of position! HE SUCKS!

It's extra bad because I'm in the car business

So I'm always arguing those points with people whose livelihood is based on convincing somebody that their opinion is right. Probably hilarious to watch for an outsider

Yeah thats an even more futile argument

So this is a boring game

I wish Bedard were more exciting

Maybe it is the alcohol,

but I find this game pretty exciting.

I'm at work, and thus alcohol-less

and it is BORING

Bedard's been a slow starter in the past right?

In other news, Braves OF prospect Jordan Schafer

just got suspended 50 games for using HGH.

How the hell did they catch him?

MiLB does HGH testing?

Holy shit

50 games?

Not a good end to the AB, Erik

I don't like facing real offenses.

Also, LOL at the ad behind the plate for the Border Patrol

Ok the 2-0 pitch was a strike

ok...this isn't good....

Didn't raise his batting average.

Fail.

Strikes, Erik

THROW THEM

NO NOT NOW WITH GOMES

Oh god Gomes scares me.

damn damn damn

Does Bedard have dentures?

What is that in his mouth?

that pitch looked like it hit some part of the strike zone

his pitch count wasn't high enough, so he wanted to mix in some walks

Bendy things only Erik

BENDY THINGS ONLY

Just about ready to turn this one off.

Stop walking people!

that was barely inside

fuck off Gomes

The Rays seem to be indifferent about getting hit by a pitch

They don't really try to move out of the way

I thought I liked patient hitters.

Seriously....

Gomes is in the same strike zone.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

What was that, Beltre?

OH FUCKING HELL

Fuck me in the ear....

FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!!!!

Ugh.

Not good, King Awesome. Not good at all.

christ defense

Beltre was trying to do too much there.

THATS SOO KILLER!!!

YIKES

AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY

Fucking hell

HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD IT ANYWAY

Throw to first!

Bring on the Kirk wars

THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS!

I loved the Cardassians.

Gul Dukat was one of the greatest TV villains ever.

Garak was one of the best characters in the whole ST universe

Agreed.

The guy that plays him is a fantastic actor.

And Garek

I love them both. Especially their battle of wits.

Of all the great character pairings in DS9, the Bashir/Garak/Section 31 and Dukat/Garak dynamic was the best.

err Bashir/Garak/Section 31/Obsidian Order

Agreed

I've been going through and watching every episode in order and I have to say Basir is my fav character due to

A) The chief hating him in the beginning
B) The Garak spy stuff that turns into Garak / Ducat rivalry
C) Section 31
D) Grimm calculator phase

Yeah know, I really really hated Bashir at first. But he grew on me.

His character had the biggest growth from beginning to end.

haha

I always loved him, even when he was a douche, and especially since Kira hated him. Like the "frontier medicine" part.

Though I didn't hate him as I hated Ezri Dax.

So annoying.

The funniest part of that image is Worf.

again, can't hold a lead!

fuck

can a proxy server be used to sign on to mlb tv

Yes, at your own risk though.

google JAP proxy

God damn it Kenji!

SON OF A BITCH

You have gotta be kidding me....

Beltre broke Gameday

crap again

WHY DID THAT HAPPEN

Holy mackrel we're getting schooled.

Dear.... God...

Keystone Cops

Where's that benny hill music?

God we are stupid

Worst fucking defense of all fucking time

fucking fucks

Yuni told Kenji not to throw

Kenji ignored him.

I can blame him for throwing

but not for ignoring Yuni. A play that quick it is probably tough to notice the shortstop.

God I hate this team

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

I normally stay out of the GTE, but I need to vent.

What the fuck!?! Is this little league? Kenji getting played with the double steal!?!?

Kenji

I don't like him as much as I used to.

Seriously, wtf is Bedard chewing on?

Answers:

1) Our hopes and dreams
2) Brains
3) Soilent Greens

Whatever it is, it's not working.

What the FUCK just happened?

Yes, Bedard, you have to do everything yourself.

wow, everyone failed that inning

Four questions.

1) Do we allow a run if Bedard doesn't allow two walks.
2) Where was the strike zone and why wasn't Bedard hitting it?
3) Are we sure his hip is okay?
4) No, really, WTF is he chewing on?

1) Doubt it.
2) He's clearly off today.
3) Hopefully.
4) No idea.

If Beltre throws to 1st instead of 2nd

No runs score.

That was an effing little league play

No one past the age of ten should have done what Kenji did.

My girlfriend just arrived. I'm taking this as an opportunity to abandon the game for a while. I need to cool off.

Uh ohs, Laura

n/s

Take your frustrations out on her

;)

Both sides

of my ass already have bruises.
~Laura

You know what's going to ice today?

Finding out at the end of the game that Bedard's hip is bothering him and he's going to land on the 15-day DL.

Sonics going for #60 tonight

woo

I hope they lose.

They need the best draft position they can get.

Bartlett....

Killing the M's.

McLaren takes notes:

tell...runners...to...steal...home...more...worked...for...rays...will...work...for...us...

:(

Sad but true

Uhhh that wasn't a strike last half inning, ump

And then, when things seem their darkest...

Ichiro is a ray of light. I love Ichiro

Ichiro!

I'm glad someone on this team isn't double fisting shit sandwiches tonight.

The "Cornholed by God" table

11 - Sneezed with two-fisting shrimp salad. You are blind.
12 - Sneezed while two-fisting with Sodomy Bikers. Paraplegic.

Yeah.

Encourage stealing....that's something the M's need.

Wow, it actually worked!!

Back from the store...

And I see we are being outsmarted ONCE AGAIN.

What does a Japanese person with Down Syndrome look like? What do they look like in a catcher's mask?

HOT DAMN LOPEZ

Yes,

Hit-and-run!

oh my god.

A hit and run.

It worked.

Mind aspolded.

Go J.Lo.... Doing the job

Sweet.

Tie this fucker up again.

OK. That ruled.

Rays fans doing the wave

Serves you assholes right.

A McLaren hit-and-run actually worked

It's almost like those performing it were actually qualified for a hit-and-run this time.

Drive a run in here Beltre.

Or I'm done with this game.

Fuck I hate this team

Redemption time for Adrian

haha spoke too soon

BAD BELTRE

BAD

Okay, Raul time.

Show us what DH is supposed to mean.

Screw you King Awesome.

Drive a run in here Ibanez.

Or I'm done with this game.

Ok I think I finally understand why people do hit and runs

even though they're dumb.

That was so pretty looking!

nice job Lopez

Lopez is at 2nd?

Wow.

How'd Lopez get to 2nd?

Well Beltre has been absolutely horrible today

I'm not going to call you King Awesome until you fix this.

What's this, now?

Did Loafie just tag up on that catch

That so rules if it stands.

Lopez is awesome

Wow. Good eye.

Great job.

LOAFIE!!!! Not loafing!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nickname of the year

Ok that was fucking awesome Lopez.

I LOVE YOU JOSE LOPEZ

Tagged up? LOL

Uh...

Nice work Lopez. Heads up.

That was badass

Ballsy, but badass

Way to be aware Lopey

Wow.

Lopez has gone from Mentally deficient to having awesome awareness.

He's on brain steroids

I think Jose fed all of his shitty parts to Kenji, actually.

Sneaky sneaky. I love it.

Lopez= the best player in the universe

Huh. If they win with that run

That may be a mariner moment. At least a runner up.

The write up would be.

"Um... What?"

HAHAHA the replay!

Loafie just tiptoed halfway to 2nd, and then took off once he saw the rookie catcher didn't notice.

Give it up Rays.

Lopez is safe at second.

They better not fucking walk Raul for Richie again.

ok get on with it

Let me just say again how awesome that was

Here comes Richie again.

Lets see what happens now.

So does Beltre get credited with a sac fly?

nope need a scoring runner for that.

Drive in runs. Please. No more one run losses.

We can't score more than 4 runs a game.

We've only done it once this year.

hypothetical walk count: 7

Richie batting.

PLEASE THROW A WILD PITCH

Drive a run in here Richie.

Or...yeah you get the picture.

Alert baserunning > Aggressive baserunning

Walking Raul to get to Richie

if this were 2006 the Rays would be so fucked.

2006 was a great year for Richie Sexson

2007, on the other hand, was not.

That's a worried looking washed up 1B

Somebody hold me again.

I'm scared

You do have a free hug coupon you can use.

gently caress

I swear, I will not boo Richie for at least one month

if he can homer here.

Hell, just plate the runners

That was awesome

but not awesome enough to keep me from booing.

BTW... Do you really think Tourettes Guy died? I have a nagging suspicion they're lying because they tried to start a rumor that he didn't want to make any more after the Bob Saget clip. I think they just wanted to retire the whole thing without having a bunch of negative reaction from stopping the the series.

Probably not. I think you've got it right. I miss his antics, though

"Who wrinkled my Randy Travis poster, pissed in the seat, and hid my keys?!"

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, SHIT

SHIT!!

Plz walk or sumthin.

Ok bai.

Oh, F that.

Mariners OBP today=.500

Rays OBP=.360

5-4 Rays

Ah the power of HRs and shitty D

Situational hitting?

Bullshit!!

That's a fucking ball!

Here comes the chase of Adam Dunn

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SD:FJS:LKJA:LK!!!

RICHIEEEEEEEEEE!

BASE FUCKING HIT RICHIE

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn straight!!

Big Richie is back!!!

RICHIE!!!!!

BLOOP HIT!!!

SEXSON

YOU SON OF A BITCH

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LJhjFfOoigJGbgop[dfkgkaoehkab

Pussy hits!

SEXSON!!

Or rather, IWAMURA!!!

What the hellw as that?

Awesome.

YES

RICHIE ACTUALLY PRODUCES WHEN WE NEED IT HOLY SHITBALLS

Oh shit....

Sexson!

HOLY SHIT WE GOT LUCKY!

TV STAYS ON!

Richie Sexson = hero?

I love work.

BLOOOOOOP.

FUCK YES RICHIE SEXSON

YES SOFT LINERS FOR THE GOD DAMN WIN

AND LOPEZ SCORES TOO!

MARINER MOMENT 2008!

Sometimes it's better to be lucky...

Than good?

Big Richie!

Earlier in the game I said that if Richie came through (last time) with the bases loaded and got 2 RBI, I wouldn't boo him for the rest of the week.

Deal, Rich.

Is it sad that when Sexson hits such a pathetic

bloop we're excited

Anything that scores runs is worth getting excited for.

Any Sexson AB that doesn't end with us cussing at him is worth getting excited for

It wouldn't matter who it is

We'll be excited for 2 runs and the lead no matter who drives them in

Lucky bloop!

Fuck yes.

SEASON HIGH FOR RUNS!!!

That works

Iwamura would have had to make a sweet catch to snag that.

Richie Sexson: Bloop Singles Specailist

How in the world did Richie not strike out?

WTF?

Whats going on?

How is Vidro leading the team with 2 HR?

I'm buying a lottery ticket.

Clutch singles of London!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

fnwefnwvnwsvnwsc ninvinv

wooooooooooooooooooo

Will RRS see the light of day tonight

By god?

I'm thinking O'Flaherty will pitch the 6th or 7th

because we're saving RRS for the 8th

Dear God.

The depressing part

is that it wouldn't surprise me at all

No way

This is a perfect day for EOF to get his confidence back, we have to go with him.

Besides,

there's some lefties coming up and Bedard told me he's not 100%

SEASON HIGH FOR RUNS

Soooo disappointing

Sexson with .270 avg! He is almost replacement lvl!

His ops is well above

Wait... we have the lead, Bedard's nearing 100 pitches.

Potatoes watch is commencing.

You had to say.

*it.

I hate it when I don't finish my sent

I see what you did there.

THIS IS ALL JOSE LOPEZ.

god it took me so long so scroll down this thread

that sexson came out of his frozen carbonite to get a clutch hit? curse you, slow browser!

FSN already doing a retrospective of Opening Day

Have we fallen that far?

Let's try a reverse call:

I predict Brad Wilkerson will NOT get on base.

You are not allowed to do this anymore.

Please throw yourself into the vat of acid. Take Player A with you.

The Baseball Gods hate me.

If you make a prediction at an LL night.

I will punch you in your testicles as hard as I can.

How do you know I have testicles?

Sexson.....2nd in RBI's, OPS over 900

Well let's just blow up the entire Rays bellpen

while we're at it.

Yikes.

I love it

Get 'em good 'n tired for the rest of the set

How's Wlad doing? Well?

got his first hit of the year yesterday

Sweet.

One less hit before he takes over in right field.

Am I the only one

that finds Wilk's face at the plate hilarious?

I find it on the double chinny side

Sexson

.269/.424/.400???

err

.500

Well.

That's not a surprise.

...

Pop up by Wilkerson.

I'm not understanding your ellipses.

BB, 2 run single today.

He's 50/50 in good results today. Ichiro's gotten out today too, ya know.

You're really rooting for him huh?

He's not on my shit list yet, no worries.

It's become a crusade

He's getting an unfair amount of hate for a community that seems to preach patience about small sample sizes.

If Sexson wasn't on the team,

I bet there would be less of that hate. Having a Sexson clone that is struggling, even if it is SSS, is difficult to watch.

Erik back out for one more.

I think I like this...

As long as his defense doesn't let him down again. >:(

Just like I "let down" my mom last night >:(

Stop making your mom jokes and >:( faces

Your ruining it for the rest of us

I'm pretty sure that one was the impersonator >:(

yeah I keep having to check the profile info to see who is who

oh... and >:(

nuts to that

I like America

and I like this idea.

love the image but can we shrink it by like 50%?

working on it

(though it's not mine)

So, uh, ump

Gonna give Erik that inside corner today?

Today's better than opening day.

But he's still getting squeezed.

I was at opening day, sixteen rows behind that ump.

I should have put a sharp object in his spine.

I agree, I watched the replay on TV

He was getting crazy squeezed, and it looked like it even while I was there in RF.

About time he got a call

Take a seat fuckface

Oh hey

Umps actually giving Bedard that 3rd strike call.

I was so sure that Sexson was going to blow that at bat

that I made this to commemorate it:

But he showed that every now and again there are still fumes in the tank, so I gotta give him his due:

fumes?

He's 2 for 3! It's more like he's running on used vegetable oil.

C'mon Erik, put him away!

But he pitches faster when he's got a runner on

6IP 5R 3ER

Soooo not a bad start, defense let him down and the umpire was not giving him calls that he deserved.

Putzless bullpen in, game over.

Stop ****ing walking people!

Of all people,

you should be okay with it, yeah?

But I have Bedard in fantasy. :(

Ah, got it.

An "optimistic" Angel fan

would predict 10 walks for Bedard.

I have my reasons.

Besides, you got all got swept by the Orioles. How dangerous can you be? :P

Okay, well... okay...

Sweet, 1 pitch out.

Inning over.

Fuck you very much, Crawford. Enjoy some bench.

Hey, I like Crawford.

Me too, but not when he's playing the Mariners.

I think he's a piece of shit right about now

Doug Davis:Scoreless 1st inning

Obviously Bedard needs to get cancer so he can pitch better.

Cancer: always funny.

Not nearly as funny as anal fissures.

funnier

but not as funny as AIDS

Are you sure?

Not only am I sure...

...I'm HIV Positive!

I'm starting Davis today in fantasy

I didn't think he'd do well, but I also feel like I'd be an ass for benching a guy with cancer.

hahahhaahahha

I love that scene.

greatest opening scene in the history of drama ever

Make Love, Not Warcraft begs to differ.

Wait, nevermind.

I suppose that was a better episode. But it's opening scene was nothing spectacular.

Why?

my thoughts exactly

not enough hate today?

because Naggers are annoying

NAGGERS

Randy Marsh: Oh...uh...Whoops!

Yeah, definitely funny

but what the hell are you referencing?

Because that episode is hilarious?

You aren't one of them N-G's are you? We don't tolerate those folk around here.

The episode was hilarious.

I was just confused why the image was posted.

why not?

Corcoran warming up....

Oh goodie....

God dammit

When is JJ coming back?

Ugh.

Kenji you are not impressing me today.

God I hate Kenji.

Free Jeff Clement

Say it again and...

Shit.

Norm's giving Corco advice.

He clearly needs to pitch inside more

i heart yuni

Looks like it's a retainer that Erik has in his mouth.

THAT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY WHAT'S IN HIS MOUTH??

Pretty sure it's a retainer.

That would make sense.

looks to me like a mouth guard

Fuck confidence

We don't need confidence, we need competence.

bullpen time

yay

Hyphen

is still missing.

Where in the world is Ryan-Rowland Smith?

I'm trying to figure out why Corcoran

in the 7th.. the guy that didn't make the roster out of ST... when you've got Green, RRS, and Lowe to finish things off......

beause he's pitched 2 2/3 innings of perfect baseball!

He's fucking the man!

In San Diego, Carmen.

Putting a finger in a crocodile's butthole?

Bedard out

Game over.

So, who's up first? Dare I say it...EOF?

Also, hey, Carlos Pena is up.

Anyone wanna go tell RRS he should pitch?

not the 8th inning yet

can use him, sleeping

Corcoran in

Here goes nothing.

I swear, if we lose another 1-run game because of shitty bullpen work....

Sims: "I'm impressed"

I'm not.

LET'S GO ROY

SHIT.

This ain't gonna be good.

ROY HAS THIS UNDER CONTROL

Double post much?

Am I the only one who can't unhighlight this post?

yeah dude, I'm with you

this one too...

All you can do is shake your head

ROY 4 CY YOUNG

Why are you taking up R.A.'s roster spot Roy?

Well, whatever happens, this should be entertaining.

The DBacks stole Detroits offense.

Ugh.

Hold on to your butts. /Samuel L Jackson.

Corcoran

Is due for a big fat sack of regression to the mean, I hope he doesn't get it today

Corcoran VS Pena:

This has McClusterfuck written aallll over it.

I've got the link to my Squinty magic card copied and ready to paste.

ROY IS GETTING A STRIKEOUT

OR HIS NAME ISN'T ROY

(who called it)

Ground ball pitcher. Not the best decision, but not terrible.

Holy shit...good start

I'm going to have "FUUUUUUUCK" standing by

For the rest of this inning.

WHERE DOES CORCO HAVE TO THROW IT!?

ROY IS NOT INTIMIDATED

Strike 3.

christ on a taco

who in the balls is roy corcoran?

I asked his mother...

she had no idea.

That was 3 strike 3s

Uhhh strike 4?

Someone please go kill this ump.

CORCORAN IS THE BEST PITCHER EVER

FUCK YEAH CORCO

K'd him on Strike 5

5 strikes, 1 strikeout.

DAIUM!!!!!!!!!

Snore. I'm done with this game.

Hey, this Corcoran kid is pretty good (?)

Yeah! Corcpwnd!!!!

So...

How'd RRS end up in the dog house?

HOLY FUCK

Upton was absolutely safe, but did he go batshit crazy or what?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Wanna see the replay.

Ok i just got back

what in the green shit just happened

Safe or not

Lopez is the fucking man of the hour.

Fucking the man of the hour

Go suck a big fat Pena, Maddon.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I was away from the TV.

TAKE A SEAT PROFESSOR

Loafie made a nice throw, even if it was late.

I thought he was safe.

I think Beltre blocked him with his knee

He was out! Wow!! Great play Beltre!!!

I think he was out

He blocked his foot!

Looks like Beltre blocked the plate..

Yay for questionable calls!!!

Heel made it

but who cares.

Holy crap, nice block

Still looked safe to me.

COME ON ROY

Beltre owned him

I literally screamed with joy at that call.

hmmmm

that was a lot closer than I thought.

Shoeless J. Upton.

As a sign of great things for the Rays

They actually have enough of a crowd to get some serious jeers for that call.

He was out

Beltre hit his hand with the glvoe before his foot touched the bag

guess that makes up for the 5 strike K

RSS sighting!!!

*RRS

warming up anyway

Wow he was safe by a mile

How about this Corcoran kid?

Flavor of the week
