Huh

Who's that guy warming up in the bullpen?

Lopez is fucking the man today.

RRS!! WARMING UP!!!

HE DOES EXIST!

COME ON ROY

someone tell me and redwolf wtf happened

A Shoeless Upton got a triple.

But he was called out anyway, because Beltre is the king of awesome.

Upton laced one down the line

Wilk relayed to Loafie, Loafie made a perfect strike to Beltre, and even though Upton appeared to beat the throw, he was called out.

sick thx

also i fully approve of this Loafie nickname

McLaren remembered that RRS exists!

Hahaha this is awesome how loud the boos are

BLOWJOB IS PISSED

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

I've never seen a runner so fast

while looking so slow.

John McLaren stands by, wishing he

had Maddon's "fire."

I hate to say it.

Ump probably should've gave it to him. He ran all the way to 3rd with his shoe off.

The point of still booing?

at least the fans are pissed

CORCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KK

He was out

Beltre hit his hand before he touched the bag

CORCORAN!!!

WOW!

hahahahahahhahaah

This inning is tits.

BEST INNING EVER!!!

wooo twin-birdies flipped on television by a fan

Roy Forkoren!

Haha you see the fan flipping the birds to the ump?

Wonderful

That made my day.

It's a shame FSN is going to get fined for it, though.

nah someone has to report it

CORCO IS INCREASINGLY EARNING MY ENDORSEMENT TO USE MY NAME

ROY CORCO

Man, this crowd is jacked.

ROFL!!!!

Fan in the crowd gives the two finger salute!!

Priceless.

I hope someone is getting a screenshot

That was a chaotic inning.

Corcoran's numbers look amazing through... 3.2 IP

KORKO with 2 Ks

I must say

I am proud of this Rays home crowd... actually paying attention and giving a shit about the game for a change.

Agreed.

You Rays fans are alright.

Yeah Gomez

you Rays fan!

Gomez is a Ray's fan? Huh.

Not directed towards Gomez

but rather the fans on TV.

Aw fuck it.

Nah

I'm just impressed with a crowd that's usually half this size and barely paying attention.

Or a Rays home crowd actually exists.

They do seem pretty awesome

They're STILL jacked up about that, I don't think the Safeco crowd shows this much emotion all year.

Corco is the new JJ

And this is why we play the games, boys and girls.

FIRST!!!!!111

COMPLETE FAIL

And yes...I realize it's a joke...

Someone please....

get a screen grab of the double-bird action.

Wow

Fans are NUTS! This is awesome.

go Tampa fans

Al Reyes

looks an awful lot like Greasy.

So, gotta like how we pull guys like Corcoran out of nothing.

Where did he even come from?

A zygote.

Good answer.

And there are people paying tons of money for this kind of thing.

Oh fuck

I thoguht Silva was going against us

Man,

I gotta get my system set up to take TV screenshots again.

hay guise al rayes is a veteran lets traid for him

That's it. I'm ordering a Roy Corcoran jersey

I'm not sure why you'd even think twice about this.

If there were ever a MLB player that had my last name, I'd buy it immediately, especially if they were on my favorite team.

I'm just a college student who doesn't really have US$200 lying around

so it's a difficult decision

Do it.

You will have no regrets.

My thoughts exactly

I have not bought a Jamey Carroll jersey

BUT if Daniel Carroll in the minor league system gets up to the Big Club, I will buy two.

I am embarrassed....

this Rays crowd is showing more emotion tonight than 50 crowds combined at Safeco.

JUTS WAIT TIL GRIFFEY COMES BACK

WE'RE ALLOWED TO MAEK NOISE THEN

Ichiro wooooo!

Reyes

was destined to be a Ray.

No chance to get Ichiro

Booo all you want bitches

SAFE, oh and SAFE again

This crowd is STILL pissed!

I love it.

Outstanding!

Well that's gonna prolong the boos for another week.

Ichiro is rather fast yes

Dude, there'

Fuck

Meant to say "There's going to be a riot in Tampa tonight"

QVC better watch the fuck out.

They have it coming

Yes??

hahah i hate when that happens.

ICHIRO!

I like you again!

good ol'

21.60-ERA-havin'-Reyes

This crowd is awesome

No Loafie

you are not allowed to bunt.

I-chi-ro! so clutch!

Man, this crowd....

is turning me into a Rays fan.

wait til tomorrow when only 10,000 are there

I'd rather have 10,000 of these fans

Than 45,000 Safeco fans

more like

wait until the Yankees or Red Sox are in town and those same blowhards are rooting for the bad guys

They kinda have that AAA fan mentality

Like they got so used to the team sucking that the whole fanbase decided to have fun with it all. Now that they're decent, they are all bringing their friends and family too.

Why?

why bunt?

Yes! Finally some luck.

Shit, not supposed to be a reply.

Bunt: failed.

H&R: failed.

they are trying so hard to fuck lopez up

Lopez!

Sweetness

This is most excellent.

I like the vibe of this game

The win is imminent.

LOAFIE!

Jose Lopez's career has risen from the dead!

NO!

SHUT UP BLOWERS!

NO KING AWESOME BUNTS!

Beltre can't bunt.

PLEASE don't have him bunt.

time for redemption Adrian

I'm buying a Lopez Jersey

No more bunts for Lopez

Squinty pay attention.

plz god no bunt here

Rays fans care

and we're tried of getting jipped by the umps. That's about the fifth bad call to go against the Rays this season and we're only seven games in.

Sorry

The sports Gods are still trying to make it up to us after Superbowl 40.

and the Mike Reilly game

And my girlfriend leaving me.

Jim Joyce says hello

Tell him I said "hi" back!

Quick, pinch hit Bloomquist so he can bunt!

XD

If it weren't the MOTO a bunt could be a good idea...

Hey, here's a thought

BUNTING IS FUCKING STUPID

But suicide squeezes are the tits

I thought it was made well and clear in 2007

THAT BELTRE COULD NOT FUCKING BUNT IF YOU HELD A SHOTGUN TO HIS PUPPIES

Beltre has tits?

You try to concentrate...

under that kind of pressure.

unlucky, that was rapped

Good AB by Beltre.

Too bad that didn't find a hole.

Damn he smoked that

ah well. "Productive out."

Huh. Raul up, second is open.

Intentionally walk him to bring Richie up again?

the double bird

lol.

Sweet.

Old school cap, too. This guy is hardcore.

Would make a great logo for DRaysBay

No kidding

Someone should send it them. They deserve it, and their broadcast almost definitely didn't show that

Damn I thought that would be a 2B

off the bat. Oh well plz drive in Ichiro Raul

85 mile per hour gas?

High gas?

Since when does 85 mph = gas?

RAAAAUUUUULLLLLLL!

IBANEZ YOU SLOW FUCK!!!

shit Raul get some leg transplants.

Obligitory Bonds Reminder:

Cut out the green between his legs

please

and size it down...

I did, I have no idea why it didn't show up.

Hit refresh.

copy, paste, cut off the bottom part of the picture

You're STILL looking between his legs?

Eeew.

Grosss...

FREE BARRY BONDS

Less Bonds.

I get it.

FUCKING RA_L

PIECE OF SHIT

I spell inning ending rally killing GIDP with 7 U's

GROUUUUUUUUND INTO DOUUUUUUUUUBLE PLAY

Wait...did the SS even come close to touching 2nd? It didn't look like it.

That never matters

One of sports' many "benefit of the doubt" plays

gaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh that blew ass.

This game needs more Taters

No this game does not need Potatoes

I'm not keen on the HTML tags.

shit... that was supposed to say ./sarcasm.

Raul looked pretty safe to me

If Vidro and Ibanez were in a footrace

and there were hotdogs at the finish line, turbo might just win.

How many BOOs are in your name, Raul?

Sometimes 5, sometimes 8.

Moises Alou says

I guess he was a Raul-ly killer

Moises Alou says

Pee is for the hands!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU

There are your god damn Us

In elementary school

we had designated runners for the fat kids during kickball. I wonder if we can petition for a rule change.

We did too

I remember that. I was the runner, which was funny because I wasn't fast, I just wasn't fat. Or a girl. I'm pretty sure we ran for most of the girls too.

Should've bunted.

more roy?

really?

From the side

Corco looks a little like Paul Abbott.

UUUUUUUUUUUUU

THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF RAUL

hahaha

I love when he "clanking" them on the railing. haha

RRS in the 9th?

One can only hope

RRS to close (please?).

shitballs

here we go

COME ON ROY

pitch better

Bad Corco >:(

NO JOHNNY MAC YOU DOUCHE

RRS now?

He's not mentally ready for the 9th.

Who's that guy Mac's bringing in?

RRS

He's being sacrastic.

thought so

couldn't be sure, no video. didnt know if they said on tv

YES

It's Aussie time

Cue "Land Down Under"

something something something vegemite sandwich

Mmm... Yeast extract.

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPHEN

Hymen?

no

but if yes, then Johnny Mac's barely broken it...am i doing this wrong?

Rowland-Smith time.

RRS time.

Let's see if he's worth all the fuss that's been made. ;)

If RRS ends up sucking all this Mac bashing will be in vain.

No, no it won't.

I guess ur right...

but if RRS amazes, then we will be able to bash Mac even more. YAY!

If RRS Struggles

you'll see Rhodes by the weekend.

or some veteran lefty

acquired for Wlad

How about Wlad for Chad Bradford guys?

He throws really close to the ground.

Baker already threw

Rhodes name out there .. he's eligible to come off the minor league DL on thurs

nonononononononono

So the closer will be.......?

Green

he's warming up too.

I do not approve of this

RRS TEIM BEYOTCHES

RRS is a rookie who needs to know his place

not like that veteran who's been through wars EOF

But..but...

RYAN ISN'T TEH SITUATIONAL LEFTY!!!

Hyphen Rules

oh right the rays got haynes

he was the fastest guy in the angels' system

what are they booing now?

Um what?

Were they calling for a balk when the umpire made him stop mid-delivery?

RRS's gameday pic makes him look soooo Australian.

He's clearly like seven Australian.

HURRY UP AND GET THEM OUT HYPHEN

I can't stand the thought of some crappy veteran taking your place

Two outs woooo!

yessssss one more

This crowd is the shit.

Kick his ass, sea bass!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

OY OY OY!

HYPHEN!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Clearly he wasn't ready for the eighth.

Really Really Sexy

"Nice job from Ryan Rowland-Smith"

You listening, McLaren??

No, he's in the dugout sleeping.

there we go

how about some insurance now

TAMPA-BAY

YOUVE JUST BEEN HYPHENATED

hahaha

I've been waiting to do that all spring

I approve of this action

Hopefully all teams can wear a hyphen this season

OH NO HE POOPED HIS PANTS

IN A LATE INNING SITUATION.

I don't look forward to your overuse and eventual demolition, RRS

But for now, let's snuggle.

BUT WHOS OUR LEFTY LONG MAN NOW :(

rad racer smith

So who's this Rowland-Smith character?

I've never heard of him before.

Hyphened all over your face bitches!

RR-S is dreamy... *siiiigh*

Really Really-Sexy?

Oh yeah!

Mmmmmm... I love me some glasses.

Yeah, but does he have a large penis?

Probably not.

Your mom disagrees.

88 minutes

This movie only looks appealing because Al Pacino is in it.

The question is:

Is it actually longer than 88 minutes?

It's set in Seattle yes?

No idea.

I'm not going to see it anyway.

SUCK IT SQUINTY!

Hyphen is giving you the fucking highway salute right now.

Are they still doing rally fries?

Because, if so, they should not.

LOL FSN misspelled Richie's name

Mike DiFelice?

Really?

Haha

Ritchie Sexson!

the 't' is supposed to be in his last name

cheesy rally fries sign

CHECK

we need to make an FSN mariners drinking game

delivery of rally fries: finish your drink

GOD DAMN

Percival looks OLD.

That's twice this season I've seen FSN mis-spell Richie's name

They've spelled it Ritchie just now, and during game 1 of the season

That was a ball.

"Don't miss tonights Mariners All Access"

"Richie cries because no one likes him"

hahahahaha

Holy shit that's Troy Percival?

I thought he was dead

he was kickin' ass last year

Zombie Percival

good photoshop

would be RRS face replacing the guy giving the two finger salute.... and having it directed at Mac.

What is this "range" that he speaks of.

I thought he was going to try and barehand that

One-on-one

With Ritchie Sexson.

Hey I remember this guy.

He was pretty good once upon a time. :)

Back before the majors were intigrated...

Looks like he's still got some left.

I'm glad to see it.

Wilkerson is really good at swinging and missing

He does it a lot

So how long till we trade Hyphen for Pepe?

QUIET!!!! Bavasi might be listening.

I wouldn't worry.

I don't think he comes here for trade advice.

no he does what we say not to do

HYPHEN DOES EXIST

Might've given his SW Airlines ticket to this guy:

Epic, epic win.

This is awesome.

glad my first post here could contribute

I like the sideways thumb lady

"Kill or no Kill, Caesar?"

Beautiful.

I cant decide between this or lightsaber Beltre for my avatar.

They've managed to reanimate the corpse of Troy Percival?

Can we do this to George Peppard? The A-Team movie needs him.

Lovely swing Ritchie

Uh oh.

Richie's got a groin pull.

We can only hope.

"uh oh"?

Damn right it's an uh oh.

It's going to be Willie Boom Boom tomorrow, watch.

That's what happens when you fuck the man so infrequently.

He should've stretched before the game.

Sexson's hurt

Time to bring up clement

What an inning!

HAY COACH CAN I PLAY I THINK RAUL'S LEGS FELL OF BACK IN KANSAS CITY

No you don't know how to take pitches

RRS for the long save?

Or is it gonna be Lowe?

sexson-wilkerson-vidro

jesus

The prolapsed asshole of our lineup.

Let's go RRS!!!

THEY'RE SENDING HYPHEN BACK OUT

GO HYPHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

NO HEART ATTACK

Defensive changes?

HA!

You put your best 9 guys on the field to begin with. Why would you ever sub them out

Is he leaving RRS in? Yes he is.

"This oughta get those internet fuckers off my ass!"

Kinda sad when you have to be pressured into doing

the right thing. :P

Why is there no Jimerson in LF?

because Raul is the face of the franchise

K!

AUSSIE POWER!

TAMPA-BAY

YOUVE BEEN HYPHENATED

Rowland-smith in.

Game over.

67mph to 91mph

Good luck with that adjustment Carlos

That was just completely unfair

72 to 93 according to Gameday.

Remember the Tampa gun is off.

Yeah Mac!

Good job! YOU DID A FUCKING GOOD JOB!

WOOO

RRS my new favorite Mariner!

NO LATE GAME ABILITY MY FUCKING ASS

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITED I'VE BEEN ALL SEASON

I KNOW ME TOO I'M SO JACKED!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Didn't need to know that >:(

??

Why not? I am happy. Everyone should know. I wanna climb to the top of a tall building and shout it out for all to hear

I'm just being immature. "Jacked"? Ha...ha?

No worries

I actually chuckled at it after I wrote it. I am all over the Beavis and Butthead-esque word/phrase giggles.

Stop hanging out with Coach.

I somehow doubt Coach knows what "jacked" can mean

I'm very familiar with it, thank you very much!

So you're the reason

the Dinosaurs are dead.

RRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

John McLaren sure feels like a dumbass now! Doesnt he?

No.

He takes credit for this, claiming now that he sees Hyphen in that role, that's why he did well.

CAR-LOS PENA

YOU HAVE BEEN HYPHENATED

Rise from Doyle's ashes

I STILL SAY FUCK ROY CORCORAN

RRS pitched 3 awesome shutout innings in my mind. And it's staying that way.

Why?

1) RRS is undeniably the shit

2) I'm trying to provoke Corco and you're not helping.

RRS is the absolute man right now.

Roy had a good relief appearance, but RRS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER

RRS to Squinty

"FUCK YOU!"

Ha ha...Mac almost looked a bit frustrated...getting proven wrong and what not...

So this is what happy is like?

I forgot.

I can has saves????1

-RRS

RRS IS READY AND WILLING

USE HIM MORE POR FAVOR

Wow. RRS. Just. Owned. Wow.

Lopez's base

And Sexson's funk bloop make this game awesome.

RRS being interviewed.

Oh man this game was all kinds of awesome

My lone vote for RRS as my favorite Mariner is now entirely vindicated

RRS INTERVIEW

This is awesome. Aussie accent!

Oh how I wish I could see this... >:)

You missed the best part

He said during the last inning all he could think about was making hot Aussie love to JuliaHope. It gave him the fire needed to strike those batters out.

Ha ha ha.

I'll turn down my wee crush tomorrow, thank ya very much.

Better switch back to EOF.

This RRS guy looks horrible. >_>

Fuck you

What's with the hostility?

Lingering GTE.

That was pretty random

GTE?

Game-Thread Emotion.

Very volatile.

I guess.

S'Okay, I just wasn't expecting it.

Fuck my pussy!

You're just

trying to cheer me up. :P

RRS to Brad Adam: "Every time I come in, I feel like I'm on top of it."

Hear that, Squinty?

Squinty is a bottom.

Lopez and RRS

were both fucking the man today.

The man is walking crooked tonight

Still crooked enough to fuck Ibanez.

straight enough*

only thing that will make it better

is if johnny mac references lookout landing when asked why he went with RRS

You know, I'm taking credit for this one.

The game really took off once I posted Big Nipples. I nominate them for Rally Nipples!

Mr. Hyphen

Our new leader.

Good thing we didn't use him in any previous games.

I had to take the night off from LL since my computer was assplodin with both this and MLB.TV up ( >:( ), but great win, and...I think RRS is 'ready for end-of-game pitching situations'.

Also

6 runs! 3 RBI by SEXY! And we still left 10+ on base!

More please, ma'am.

I just totally pissed my girlfriend off by shouting glee into the phone

She called me right as he threw the 69 mph curve, and I asploded when he got the K. lol

She's jealous

Have you ever made those sounds in bed?

I'm sure I have

Since I totally had a fangasm at the K

This......

Was the best game of the season so far, hands down. Unbelievably awesome.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Corcoron is a bulldog.

A real Aussie

Would have answered any question with "I don't give a fuck. I'm going to drink a frosty and fuck me a St. Pete sheila tonight."

Yay

Too bad 'youv'e been hyphened' is already on my Meme hitlist.

You stay the fuck away from that meme >:(

Dammit that was my pride and joy

you've been hyphenated is still okay though

RRS understands small sample size.

Love.

Needs Hypen's awesome goggles.

get me a large image like that

and I'll change it

I'll see if I can find one.

RRS needs huge superhero goggles with a big embossed hyphen between the eyes

He also needs to have a JJ like roar.

Goggles ahoy!

There we go.

found this one too

In my unbiased opinion

the blue jersey looks cooler.

I've always liked the blue jersey

but the black tops we had back in 2000 were better.

wrong

I wish we got an alternate the same color as our sweet 01 All-Star batting practice jerseys

At least they weren't as bad as those sleeveless train-wrecks.

I would like the alternates on the road, but I hate them at home.

TAKE TWO

I approve of this image.

I liiiike aaaa verry much.

Oops, wrong log-in.

I guess it's OK to get the shaft from the Orioles

as long as they keep annihilating the rest of the AL West.

I'll laugh if they O's do anything resembling keeping this up for the season

What would you do if the O's won the East?

Give up my day job and join the circus.

Great of them to get a win for King Felix.

(Because it's his birthday)

Squinty's rambling

It's like he's conducting his own interview with himself.

sort of ate crowe when talking about Hyphen.

Just imagine how McClusterfuck is feeling.

Talk about eating a metric fuckton of crow...

AK IS THAT YOU?

Actually

He was still more annoyed with offense leaving runners on base again.

He praised Hyphen quite a bit.

Seriously, this is getting really annoying.

I'll stop...for now.

No. You'll just stop.

YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE

Are you drunk?

No, but incredibly I think you are

Well I'm not.

Obviously.

I'm not the one having conversations with myself

Are you joking?

I wish I were

Can you not tell that I'm being impersonated?

Your user names are identical

I'm not sure how this is possible

Yeah, unless it is YOU!

Do you really think I don't have too much shit to do right now to

pretend to be Coach Owens?

Also:

1) Why would I do this?
2) I'd do a better job
3) That doesn't make sense

1) You're always drunk.

2) You always make these weird posts
3) Nobody would suspect you.

Not true

1) I've drank 3 times in the last 14 days
2) True
3) Actually, anyone who has been around the blogosphere for more than about 3 years would probably automatically assume it's me given that I used to pull this shit all the time

Alright, it's not funny to mess with Coach when he hasn't done anything

It's just mean.

I'm not really sure what's going on right now

See, you're a little too "slow" about it.

Admit it, it's you.

No, I promise I would be doing a better job

That admins that can see the IPs can confirm this

For the record, this took 2 minutes to do.

could it be that I am doing homework?

WTF

This Coach Owens account hijack

is some serious 3rd or 4th level meta-shit.

Yeah, whoever did it deserves money

One of the admins.

I'm not sure how the admins did it

Maybe like clockwerks, but I doubt the local admins have the power to create duplicate usernames

On that note, I just referred to Jeff/Graham/Matthew as "local admins"

DECENTRALIZE SBN PLEASE :(

They (probably) have access to my password.

They can easily log in as me.

Dude, it's two separate accounts.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out

That's not possible though.

Why do you think it's two separate accounts?

or for other learners

http://www.sbnation.com/users/Coach%20%20Owens
http://www.sbnation.com/users/Coach%20Owens

You know,

I specifically looked for the two spaces and didn't see it. It's almost like the two spaces don't show up, but are there when the individual registers.

Yeah same here, and then I thought there might be a space

at the beginning or the end. So I took the screenshots and then went back adn looked, and there was the extra space in the registration name

Good eye, Corco.

Good eye.

Maybe it's you!

It isn't.

I think it's redwolf. But that's only a guess.

why would it be redwolf?

I don't remember why I came to that conclusion.

I think it had to do with two incorrect posts. The first under coach's name saying something uncoachlike and then adding "whoops, wrong screenname" and the second was him responding to Coach asking who it was with "it's me!" and then "or not" - could be an indicator that he meant to write that under coach's name, but not necessarily.

To add, I thought it was Gomez before,

but I think he denied it.

It's not me

I gain nothing from meta-harrassing Coach.

I knew it wasn't.

That was just my first guess when it started.

There are indeed two spaces.

I can confirm this.

Touche.

Then it could have happened like this: A moderator of LL looks at one of the old "Will Thompson" or "CoachOwens" accounts, enters the password to have it at their universal nickname and then change the display name to "Coach Owens".

Nope

Just two different accounts

(You can't change display names, believe me I want to)

Mods can, I think.

Graham told me. But I'm not sure if he was serious or not.

Oh really, that would be awesome

I picked my username drunk, which is as stupid as getting a drunken tatoo. I didn't want my full name on here anymore, but I certainly didn't want to be "NOT CORCO"

it reminds me of the ESPN board days

that was common stuff..... back then they'd actually hi-jack passwords and steal accounts.

Yeah, I engaged in such practices on the official site board from about 2002-2004

I got banned from there so many times I can't even count. I calmed down since then, back then I was younger than Coach!

I'm happier when the M's win.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Justin Speier just blew the save for the Angels

Cleveland now leads 4-3 in the 9th

Oh, hamburgers.

I thought you were one of the Angels guys...

Am I?

Are you?

Is he?

Am I high?

What the fucks going on here?

I'm really fucking confused now

You would be NewLocal

because Optimist isn't negative enough.

hey hey hey

It isn't me.

And it's Eyebrows now.

It will take me a while to remember,

but I'll get it down sometime.

Travis Hafner

Oh Snaps!

That ball was absolutely molested by Hafner

Angels lose!

They have deviated from the path of luck.

Angels lose!!

In epic fashion. Glad to see our rivals are having bullpen trouble as well.

Angels lose

I would have Hafner's babies

if he wasn't so fuckin ugly

Oh- Don't be knocking on the Pronk!

Although he's got nothing on the Hyphen.

Okay, I'll admit it - this thread has caused me to literally LOL for about five minutes

Jeff's been impersonated!

What do we do?

HEAD FOR THE HILLS!

This is ridiculous

no he hasn't

I don't think anyone is that stupid.

Apparently someone is

Even I would not impersonate the almighty Jeff.

Click the username.

zero posts, 8 comments, joined today.

This shit has gone too far.

no kidding

Seriously.

yeah they need to maybe get rid of spaces?

or perhaps require approval before a screenname can go live?

Someone is gonna get their IP banned

God damn it.

_Jeff, huh?

This is worse than spam.

yeah Jeff isn't going to be happy about this

He's gonna have to lay down the law. Public executions live on MLB.TV

That should be scary to watch

In all fairness to the culprit though,

it wasn't outlined in the TOS

This is hilarious in retrospect.

Yeah, I was really trying hard to walk the fine line between

"Holy crap I need to defend myself" and "I don't want to go over the top and make it obvious I'm covering my ass"

It appears I succeeded

I'm with Corco. Run for the hills!

For a second there, I though you had been impersonated.

Me too. I'm checking profiles now.

Ok, I'm officially now also confused.

Wow, even the clone is confused.

you're the fake

I doubt you're confused.

No, I actually am.

I'm starting to believe you

but I know better

it's not working.

If I mouse over your name, I can see the double spaces in the URL in the bottom right of my browser. It's not that difficult.

Hello and welcome to the Seatle PI Mariners Message Forum!

noooooooooooooooooooooo :(

Ah the PI forums.

If they hadn't run me off for questioning the Bedard trade, I would have never joined LL.

That's a gift

and a curse.

PA archives are down, but I found this cut version

hahahahahah

Nice reference.

One of my favorite PA comics.

:Puts on Spock ears:

Intriguing that in one point in this game thread, DS9 was being discussed, and now it's like we've been invaded by the changlings.

:Removes Spock ears:

And how the game thread originally started with a discussion of ancient Rome.

Grab your fiddles, everyone!

Spock/Evil Spock?

This thread only needs

to mention beer to be complete.

BEER

Icehouse doesn't count.

(GOOD) BEER

You are doing a pretty poor job of impersonating Coach.

See that below you? That's classic Coach.

I actually was

attempting to impersonate him for at most 2 posts.

Then why are you still posting?

Go away. It's not funny.

Not trying to be.

If you were around, you'd have seen this escalated out of control.

Corco's taste has gotten better.

no thanks to you bastards

You're welcome.

The taste is good

but I spend 3x as much on beer now

I just recently had Petrus Aged Pale

And it was disgusting.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

DON'T FALL TO THE DARK SIDE, CORCO!

I've been on the dark side since I was your age

I mean the Dark Side of agreeing with the clones.

Ok I'll admit it.

I was the Corco impersonator. But I only did and was going to do one post. There, my conscience is clear.

HAH! KNEW IT!

I'm confused again

I'm sorry Corco!

translation:

the real coach was was impersonating you, not the coach impersonator.

The REAL Coach Owens impersonated Corco

because he believed that Corco was originally impersonating him. This has been recorded for posterity.

We still have to figure out the Coach and Jeff impersonators.

This thread the funniest thing I seen all week

Well it was a nice attempt

And now that I'm done looking at it a bazillion times, I realize that I did it wrong. That line didn't come from the Aussies... blargh...

nice effort

I saw that photo when I was looking for my HYPHENATED ones above. He's got an odd expression.

This about sums up this thread.

that caused me to crack up

more like this one

English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?

Shaw what again. I dare you.

I fucking lolled

Okay, suspects.

Who could be the impersonator(s)?

there's no way to know

and no point in going on a witch hunt. I've already been accused at least twice in this thread, which isn't cool. Putting the blame on innocent people isn't going to help anything.

although honestly

I don't really see the blame to be passed around- no real harm was done it was just fucking ridiculous

Yeah well I say we not have this happen again.

Harm IS done though

It hurts the site because once everyone is anonymous, there's no credibility or responsibility, and the site degenerates into attacks and harrassment. People have one name on the site in order to back up a sense of culpability.

good point

You'd have a point if I was:

1. Insulting Coach.
2. Keeping it up for an inordinate amount of time.

no, I still have a point

Once you open that pandora's box of impersonation/anonymity/cloning, then the value placed in everyone's username and their attached reputation in the community is lost. Go look at any message board that allows anonymous posting and see what I mean. It's one of the things that separates LL from the Seattle PI mariners board.

100% agree

I do think you're taking this a little too seriously.

I think it's a glitch that needs to be resolved ASAP

where multiple spaces can't work

Then it will be impossible to duplicate usernames

I agree.

If anything good came of this thread, it's one more thing we can bitch about to clockwerks et al.

I like the LL community.

You do realize I'm an ANGELS fan, and I spend more time here than on any other website. It's the sense of community that's been fostered here.

I don't want to have to second guess every post someone makes looking for an extra space to know if it's really them or not.

True, but it was a two hour thing. And when it got stale I stopped.

Eyebrows

We figured out the bug right after the first Coach impersonations started happening and complained at Trei to fix it a while ago. They're working on it.

I know, it's Skoorbo! (is that how you spell it?)

Only me.

JACUSE!!!

Actually, no j'acuse

I don't think it's you anymore.

That'd be

"J'accuse."

Good 'ole Emile Zola.

And you were correct back there. Congrats, Sherlock Holmes.

Ha

Wicked. This made my day. I should change my screenname to super sleuth.

Or maybe I just pay WAY too much attention to people's commenting.

We know it's not a mod

because they may have impersonated you but they *probably would have stopped when fake Jeff showed up

that's as far as I can get

The Coach impersonator was

me. No idea who was impersonating Jeff.

fascinating

wow... I was actually right?

whoever guessed redwolf wins!

I only accused you because Brett pointed out it might be an angel fan.

Yeah, it seemed like he was saying things that favored the Angels during Angels games.

That's what led me to believe that. I was wrong, my bad.

That was just me throwing out random South Park quotes.

haha yeah I was gonna point that out

It's not me, guys! He's quoting Butters!

not a big deal

water under the bridge

Are you telling the truth?

Yes. I fear the 100 lb. halberd.

Wow.. quite the extracurricular activities around here

I'll come clean

The Jeff impersonator was me

All comments he made were copied and pasted from random lines of Leone for Third.

I got caught up in the moment and I apologize and will never do it again

After all that?

You are the Jeff impersonator?

Yes :(

I posted as me in Firefox and Jeff in IE

I stopped as soon as I realized what I was doing

But why?

You're a terrible person.

I thought it would fit in with the circumstances

I meant to just do "subthread closed" and be done with it, but then I began with the L43 shit

I screwed up, Im working on deactivating the account as we speak

Save it for a rainy day.

it was raining

Yeah, saying "subthread closed"

And leaving it at that, or "No more impersonators" would've actually ended all this nonsense if you left it at that.

instead I had to go and accuse myself of not being Jeff

Well that was...uh fun I guess.

I'm going to bed. I eagerly await the reactions of Graham and the real Jeff in the morning.

The reactions of _Graham and Jeff_?

Good job Coach, I actually chuckled at that.

I too was surprised to smile.

I already made _Graham 24 hours ago to test if that's what was letting people clone

Alright, time to come clean.....

I'm not really a man, I'm a fish.

Actually, I'm not a fish. I'm a broom.

To be honest. I'm surprised

Ha.

This whole thing made no sense and was awesome at the same time.

More amazing was that everyone involved was somehow involved in other ways, and everyone accused was guilty of something else. What a weird thread this is.

So

redwolf = fake coach
real coach = fake corco
real corco = fake jeff

jesus christ on a popsicle stick

OK I'll sum it all up in a nice Cliff Notes version

for easy execution/punishment/laughs:

Coach Owens impersonator: redwolf75

I'm NOT Corco impersonator: Coach Owens

Jeff impersonator: Corco

hah i win cause i typed it shorter and without punctuation

Had Corco impersonated redwolf

before the truth came out, this would have been the greatest nonsense ever.

Or if Jeff impersonated redwolf

And then Jeff could have impersonated Corco!

all we need is Jeff to impersonate redwolf

to complete the circle of retardedness

I still don't know how he did Jeff.

_Jeff

and on the brightside, once that account is banned it will still be a taken username. Jeff_ doesn't work, so unless I'm missing something there are no other possible Jeff impersonator names

_ _ Jeff?

damn, it does work

That was quick.

Ah. I never tried a space before/after.

Stole Ichiro's mind powers.

Clearly.

Until Jeff returns from watching the archive, I'm making an temp banhammer on impersonators.

It was funny, congrats redwolf, but just like any meme, stop abusing it people.

goodbye LL

may the force be with you. Hopefully I'm back

to clarify, on the impersonator logins

not the originals. You're free to comment for now. But as you only.

ah fantastic

Thank you

Why temp bans?

There's no reason not to perma ban 'em.

that's Jeff's call

I was just about to ask that

especially _Jeff

As the owner of that account I formally request that you permanently ban it as it need not exist anymore

I'm pretty sure Jeff will get to it eventually.

No harm to wait till then.

yeah good point

So I haven't really seen wrath of Jeff yet.

Is it biblical scary?

ever been attacked by ninjas?

No, you haven't, otherwise you'd be dead. Jeff's wrath is like that, but worse.

And more stealthy.. never see it coming.

Don't know. Haven't really seen it much myself.

Jeff's pretty conservative with the banhammer. Course then again, he hasn't really had to use it. Since this is a pretty tight knit community, we do a pretty good job of policing ourselves. It's one of the things that makes this place so awesome.

Skoorbo? (Again, is that how you spell it?)

Was he the last Jeff banned?

I think he's still around.

upholding Grahams ban of AK

Yeah, hearing about that wasn't fucking hilarious at the opening day event

It's why Graham draws such a high salary.

That week he went on strike? Not pretty.

Yep. Graham is generally our keeper of the mighty hammer.

Jeff's wrath may be a ninja's, but Graham's is like a hurricane.

Interesting that the impersonating comments all disappeared

gonna make this thread WAY more confusing to the 98% of LL that wasn't here at the time

I assume that banning removes all comments made by said user.

It didn't when AK got banned

I'm still seeing the fake coach posts

you sure they're getting deleted?

those are too funny to me to delete for now

I'm leaving it up to Jeff.

fake Jeff too?

those should be hidden

Thanks Matthew. :(

lighten up Will.

making other people laugh will win you many friends.

F5 is your friend

that was my doing

they're hidden for now.

I hope that regardless of the outcome

they come back

that's an option.

however, I want to point out that I hope they don't come back

because while we may know the fake ones, others might not and it is a form of mis-representation, harmless as it may be.

Can we rename them? Put in [FAKE] or something before their names?

Ditto. That was some strange shit -- funny how fast it escalated out of control.

RON: God that really got out of hand fast. I mean that really escalated quickly. Brick did you stab a man with a trident? BRICK: Yeah, there were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident. RON: Yeah, I saw that. Brick killed a guy. BRICK: Yeah, I stabbed a man on the heart. RON: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should propably find a safe house or close relative you can stay with beacuse you're probably wanted for murder.

One of the greatest back-and-forths in recent movie history.

Now we all look like raving lunatics.

:P

all part of my plan.

We did

even before the clones were banned.

Where's Coach gone?

He's faded out of the picture.

This is going to be like the "You can't escape this bullshit" fanpost

where people are gonna be all confused if they weren't here at the beginning.

I just read this thread straight through from beginning to end

dear God, that was awesome. Imagine what might have happened if they had lost the game...

Real Coach Owens: "Darn", Fake Coach Owens: "I'm a moron!"

Were you here the past couple days?

It would've been something like that, except 3x worse.

Yes I was here... I talked to you more than once =(

From the AP wrapup:

Mariners manager John McLaren said injured closer J.J. Putz (ribcage) is making progress and could resume throwing later this week.

Current timeline has him returning in full within 2-3 weeks most likely.

It doesn't look like he'll require much, if any, extra time past the minimum on the D/L and they're likely going to want him to take about a week afterwards in rehab assignments since the injury is normally one that lingers and since it was early in the year.

That's a relief (no pun intended)

I don't like feeling scared with a 1 or 2 run lead in the 9th.

A feeling I know all too well lately

I don't know if it was mentioned

but the grammar in the update about the "Sonic's" game was horrible.

Well, I gave this thread a rec

and I'm off to bed (way too late). I hereby nominate this thread for awards in the following categories:

* Most Confusing Thread
* Most Entertaining Thread
* Best Supporting Actor(s)

I find it ironic you left HH looking for more intelligent conversation and analysis.

See you in the AM.

At least our retardation isn't related to baseball

And our retardation is partly what makes this place so charming

just got this up on fanshots...

good, now shrink it
