You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Boy am I glad I spent the weekend out of town.

The 2008 Seattle Mariners: [COATHANGERS] and [FECAL MATTER] since late April.

New thread with dwindling comments?
Our game threads are regressing to the mean.
Fuck I was in the middle of a post
In an ideal world

Ichiro, Lopez, and Beltre all succeed and we still lose.

Man on first: triple play time
Why is the infield flooded?
Also, Bill Simmons' podcast with Joe Sheehan is pretty good

A lot of stats talk and why people who say that stats suck are morons

I'll have to listen to that.
Cairo should bunt.

Keep that average above the retard line

Also to avoid the DP
stop calling cairo a cunt
Hey, we're the home team!

Why don’t we just bat Ichiro and Beltre back to back all the way down the lineup and use ghost runners when they get on?

I've obviously missed a meme.

What is up with this “Home team” stuff?

Someone wrote a diary

Asking why certain American League teams don’t do away with the DH when at home, and why certain National League teams, like the Rockies, don’t use the DH more often for their home games.

FnA's thought that home teams could make whatever rules they want.

Search Question?

Ahhh.

FnA, should have known.

You haven't seen the 'question' fanpost?
Ghost runners would be amazing.

We’d need to sign Casper though. He’s got great wheels

Casper AKA Willie Bloomquist
Best possible situation there

I wish they’d bean Cairo everytime

Cairo is a pussy.

Sexson would have torn Floyd’s head off.

I really want to support this goddamn team

but they are making it so hard. FUCK.THIS.SHIT.

JESUS FUCK!
Yeah Mac, fire up the team. Woo
Pathetic argument.
Uribe with a pink goatee?!?!?

WTF?

He, Swisher and another dude are doing it for Mother's Day/Breast Cancer Awareness
and that wasn't even close he was safe by a mile
He was totally safe too
It really is the White Sox versus Ichiro
Wow was he ever safe.
and he was safe

when it sucks… it sucks..

Go skipper!

That would have been awesome if he ran out there, ignored the ump, and just squinted at the bag for ten seconds in silence, and ran back to the dugout.

Hilarious visual
I'd pay to see this.
Fucking rec'd.
THAT WAS A BAD CALL

Send that fuckwad bush league ump back where he came from

OH MY GOD WE HAVE A LEAD
That's you regressing Floyd

Take it up the tailpipe

Holy shit Funk Blasts of London
frejkles;ufmqjdwafioj7-417374rgecphiofveda
Dammit, Raul.
NO YOU FOOLS

YOUR DOING IT WRONG

SOMEBODY GO CHECK AND SEE IF RIVERS ARE TURNING TO BLOOD!!!
No, just purple goo.
443 feet?

Holy mother fucking day

Fucking crushed.
Swisher looks awesome in pink
FUNK FALSE HOPE!

Woooo

That ball was foul!
This is like the 3rd time we've come back from down 2 runs..

At any point in the game. Ew.

RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL

LOL at Swisher's reaction
I was one AB off on RAUL
At least San Diego are winning
Wait fuck.

Strasburg

:(

We’re not even good at being terrible

Pull the ball more.

Seriously, I mean that.

Love how the Niehaus is speechless.
Pulling the ball is Bonds approved
"the Niehaus"

Hah!

Shit, wrong reply.

WTF?

you're having a rough time homes
I clicked on the correct reply, but then you posted and for some reason it replied under your post.
Loafie does good things at the plate

when he ignores Jeff Pentland.

Clement has quite an eye

Please don’t trade for Griffey please don’t trade for Griffey please don’t trade for Griffey

He's scared of lil' Jeffy
ARE YOU WATCHING THIS AB YUNI?
Joe's Tracer

gives me a mental image of Michael J. Fox playing darts.

BTW Strike 1 was ~8 feet outside
Oh he just got under that...
That looked really good off of the bat.
Kobe Bryant limping!

YEEEEEEEESS! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, wrong game…

He's pulling a Jordan

Playing possum!

Bullshit fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
I don't much care for the NBA

but Kobe and the Lakers suffering makes me smile.

So this Howell guy on TB

is doing pretty well. It’s too bad we never wanted him. Like if only someone had written about him…

What the hell

why does the FOXBOX say SEA 3 CHI 2?? The other team is supposed to have the bigger number.

Technical difficulties.

The AV crew is working on it.

SIT DOWN FUCKFACE!
Even the Seattle Times

has waived the white flag on the M’s….. no blog updates or game thread for today.

Ah I can only wonder what Logie is thinking right now...
Sexson would have caught that...
SIT DOWN DOUCHEFACE!
YEAH, BATISTA!
You just got TIT-FUCKED!!!!

Nope.

well played sir
Kenji basehit?!

What. the. fuck?

No Wlad.

No bunting. You are not allowed to do this.

Who is this Asian guy at first base?
Hey

Good things are happening, have I accidentally turned on a Rays broadcast?

"It's stuck underneath the cushion"

that’s what she said

LD Triple Play
DON'T FUCK UP
We're winning?

Hey now.

I'm....so confused.

Runs? Insurance runs?

The mojo is risin

or something

BLOOP,BLOOP,BLOOP,BLOOP,BLOOP!!!
5 runs?

What the hell

yeah for pussy hits!
What the hell is this?
7 of Wlad's first 12 MLB hits have been for extra bases
Fuck the hell?
You guys better enjoy this, because we're not scoring for another week.
Yeah that will help us get Keebler
Especially since Millwood went on the DL today

so kiss that opportunity goodbye.

YUNIBLOOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I guess I won't be able to use this?

Save it....we will need it later
I motion that every WE graph for the Ms starts with a WE of 0.1%
And rec'd.
nope

because that’s dated for the 9th.

That can fixed.

The worst part is I distinctly remember photoshopping in the 11.

So yea,

My expectation that Floyd was gonna no-hit us was a bit off.

haha Cairo still fails.
MAKE GOOD CONTACT CAIRO YOU FUCKING TURD
COME ON BELTRE
WTF M's winning?
nope

just temporarily leading.

That's more than they've done all week

I hear that teams that finish games with the lead actually win them. Y/N?

Yes

but the M’s haven’t blown one late in a while so they’re going to try something new today.

wait crap are we winning?
THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN

GO SOX

Can they hit with pink bats everyday?
Also

Cairo starting at 1B: Way to come up with a contingency plan for the Richie suspension, you losers.

Part of me is thankful their not giving extra ABs to Vidro.

A larger part of me wants to strangle someone for allowing Cairo to be on the roster.

vidro=back spasms
Cairo makes Vidro look like Babe Fucking Ruth
Whereas Vidro looks physically like Babe Ruth
...If Ruth had no muscle and was a midget
they have a contingency plan called Greg Norton

oh wait

Yay for Roster Construction.
Dear Floyd,

Regression to the mean sucks, doesn’t it.

Signed,
Jarrod Washburn, Miguel Batista, and Carlos Silva.

PS I feel your pain, kisses, Jose Vidro
Needs more Jered Weaver.
Dear sirs,

Oh shit.

Worried,
Cliff Lee

Dear Jose

You’ve been doing well today. Pulling the ball really suits you! Could you try that again soon?

Signed,
Everyone but Jeff Pentland and Squinty

I'd rather he just get hits.
Oh soooooo close.
Fuck warning track power.
I HATE BEING A MARINER FAN

FUCKW_@)

FUCK YOU SAFECO!!!
Safeco Field is awesome
You can almost hear the jetstream cackling during every flyball to LF
FUCK YOU GRIFFEY

Worst legacy in baseball too

Fucking savannah of a left field.

Ibanez moves with all the elegant grace of a wildebeast too
or a goddam giraffe
Isn't it going to be great

when we have Ibanez and Griffey as our corner outfielders? Fucking awesome.

One that only just survived a lion attack
Don't fuck up, Tits.
He's not letting us down
You're fucking up, Tits!
Can anyone else hear Sims cackling in the background?
Yep.

Hilarious.

Can the Mariners win their first +2 deficit game of the year?

The suspense is killing me.

Angels swept by Rays

it almost gives you the urge to troll…

HH gives you lupus.
or hemorrhoids
AIDS
Vasculitis.
horny fungus
Mock me all you want

we’ll see be laughing when I perfect it

Scleroderma
Grave's disease?
Hashimoto's
Coach Owens Syndrome
Tourette's?
PISS OUT MY ASS
Now that sounds like Lupus.
Thats more like Crohn's
I have Crohn's :(
I wet my b-AAA! I touched my cousin's WEE-NUH!
Bloaty Head
Huntington's?
HIGH ROAD!
I love that infield-pop fakeout thing Beltre does to screw with the broadcasters.
Yeah
Oh shut up

It’s a fucking Tits start. I’m grasping for some excitement.

That wasn't even sarcastic
I can never tell with you :(
Pine tar on a pink bat looks disgusting.
Why?

it’s not like that’s an uncomfortable phallic/color combination or anything.

Stink on the pink
Did the easter bunny take a dump on Swisher's face?
Or went down on the Pink Panther
Dave Sims always gets worked up

on a fly ball to left.

He's thinking about strokin'
You know what would be hilarious?

A Kenji funk blast.

God, i really wanted Clement to get called up

and immediately start crushing the ball.

someone needs to blindfold him or drag him to the clubhouse
during the Vidro/Bloomquist/Cairo at bats/abortions.

Add Johjima to that

yeah, i thought so.

Yeah, I wanted him to, too...

But then I woke up and realized that every time he climbed up a rung, it took him awhile to get going. So, I sorta expected him to take some time to adjust.

Bullshit
he should have hit Pyrzenski harder
and in the nuts
That's two bad calls.
Appearently, the best way to honor mom is to swing is to swing around a giant penis.
Your typos are going recursive now
A bad artiist repeats himself.
That's an interesting an interesting typo
what do you mean, giant?
You're packing more?

Do you want to post bigger pictures?
Well, at least he didn't post it twice
We didn't have to break out the scroll bar.
Your JPEG, it's so large...
Note to self

Avoid Safeco from 5/26 to 5/28.

Why
My worst ever Safeco experience came at the hands of Red Sox Nation.

Yuni hit a home run against the Sox, couple of their fans sitting behind me decided to take their anger out on me. Both gave me a beer bath for some odd reason.

I'd dare some bitch Sawk fan to try that on me

I really would

Is that when the Red Sawks attack?
Ayup.
Yeah I am not at all a fan of their fans

Shit if one of them poured their beer on me I would probably snap

I like the team and they way they operate

I hate their fans. I loathe and despise their fans.

Not that you would have...

but i’m pretty sure spitting or throwing drinks in someone’s face is like third degree assault.

So you could have, if you so desired, called the police.

Eh I had the ushers remove them.

Didn’t feel like associating with them further.

Yeah, way to go

Congratulations on your restraint, too.

I love how Sims was calling for Mariners fans to fill the stadium

I’m surprised no one else gave him props for that.

Cla Meredith saves the day in San Diego

4-1 bottom 7

I am becoming Regression's biggest fan.
...wait, their worse than us

how is that possible?

I don't know but I don't like it
And NOW you get someone up in the bullpen..awesome
If we lose this I am going to be so happy.
"MIKE'S HARD LIME! MIKE'S HARD LIME!"

Please tell me someone else heard that.

I heard that.
I just want to clarify that I'm not at the game right now
Arthur Rhodes?

Great.

Rhodes blowing this game would be perfect.
I cannot honestly criticize McLaren for using Rhodes

If Rhodes were unable to strikeout hitters, I’d hate it. But really, he’s been pretty decent.

Fucking wild pitch

You suck, Arthur.

strikeout

redeemed.

I had faith all along
God you really suck this season, Miguel.
Urge to kill rising
Why do we let our starters shit themselves before we take them out?
mmm mmm mmm for the smell of it
Squinty naps in the dugout.

Relievers get late warmups as a result.

Standing O? Why?
there were only 2 people standing

in that video….

two guys standing = standing ovation

for Miguel? hahahaha

And there's the ballgame.
Okay I'll shut the fuck up now, Arthur.
GJ ALR

You aren’t as bad as we all thought

If AJ makes us pay for the IBB

I will cry.

I will throw things
K this motherfucker
Arthur Lee Rhodes - not yet finished

That surgery did you well.

Well Arthur

feel free to fuck me up the ass for doubting you.

That works.

Holy shit, we might do the opposite of that losing thing.

If he didn't apply the tag before the runner home scored

would that have counted?

If the runner scored before he actually tags him, does it count?

It wasn’t a force out.

haha

beat you to it.

I beat you...get it right.
Yes/No? No one knows?
No idea
It's a damn interesting question though.
It's probably no

otherwise you can just induce the run/down and the runner will always score.

No...go tag the base..force out.

But if the player chases and ends up tagging the guy, it’s not a force out and maybe the run counts.

Yeah, but then there's an unfair

inequity between that happening at third and second…
as there are two fielders close to second instead of one.

what a conundrum.

You could always just throw to first
Over/under
I think it's a vegetable.
I think it does

I’ve seen similar scenarios before and they’ve counted the run.

Biggest Surprise

Author Rhodes being good.

That blonde chick in the stands with the eye makeup

Woah… scary shit man!

First lead since 2003!
4:30 start tomorrow

excellent. I don’t have to break the speed-limit to catch the game in time.

Paint Miguel Cairo yellow...

and you’ve got the bad guy from Sin City

I'm going to destroy Safeco Field
Fuck Safeco Field
God Safeco eats HR's like a mother

Should have went there

Fuck you Safeco Field >:(

Beltre is getting screwed.

I wonder if this makes him less likely to re-sign here?

He has to be aware of it.

Not only that

these guys talk to their friends around the league about shit like this.

So how does Oakland get guys like Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley?

McAfee Cavern has the same problem, but to all fields.

Fuck Beltre's luck
Fuck that
If we played in the Kingdome Beltre would be an MVP candidate
Imagine how deep he could play with his arm, too.

man.

WTF Mariners stop giving me false hope in this season!
There's a lot of white people in Utah.

I mean, like, the whole entire audience. White.

People keep talking about Utah...

What’s happening down there? Some basketball game?

We are smoking the ball today
Question

Omar Vizquel really isn’t that good of a shortstop anymore, is he? His range has to have vanished by now.

Good Loafie.
Bad Clement
He hit it pretty hard at least
And the one out he made wasn't far off a grand slam
Release Clement
God dammit Jeff
Your smothering him, Graham.

He’s suffering at the plate and it’s your fault.

You're dammit

You’re.

i really dislike Orlando Cabrera
How did the Angels think they were getting a good deal?
PITCHING AND DEFENSE WINS BALLGAMES!
Even if this were true

Garland sucks and Cabrera is good defensively at a premium position. I just can’t fathom the thought process that went into that decision.

PANTHER!
Well done.

Although, to be fair, using a lyric from a Germs song as a rallying cry is kind of cool.

If you don't know that Garland sucks...
...you shouldn't be making decisions for a MLB team.
...Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong would like your resume.
Kenji has back spasms
Yay Morrow.
Morrow says:

Burn!

98MPH Pure Gas!!!
What the fuck is with all the warning track flyouts?
Oh snap!

The power pitch is powering up.

This game is making me really dislike Safeco.
Think the fences will ever be moved in?
I hope so.

But I kinda’ doubt it.

what. the. fuck?
Heh,

Miguel Cairo’d.

Unpossible!
guaranteed to be not dfa'd for 1million years now
I'm listening to thunderstruck on YouTube in hopes of losing this game
Fastball = 95-97 MPH.
This is good news.
Stay the fuck away, Cairo.
Hey look

a non-loss.

What just happened?
THE MARINERS WIN THE PENNANT!

THE MARINERS WIN THE PENNANT!!

Ballgame!

Hey, first win when falling behind 2-0.

brb world's ending
What a punch out!!!!

What a horrible day - we can't afford to drop a single outing in the quest for Strausberg
It's made losing fun again!
The bats are waking up.

That race was fun while it lasted.

zzzzzzz~~~~~snort!

Wha wha wha…?
