5/20: Open Game Thread, Part 2

For a few seconds in the first, I was entertained to see Verlander sucking. Then our offense reminded me what's what. Then Carlos Silva reminded me why I hated his contract. I should start writing these things down so I don't forget again.

That should have been a rickroll
damn you.

I have to build up trust first, then the rickroll was going to come.

Wow its not like that wasnt tried or anything

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/5/17/519844/5-17-open-game-thread#6168467

Maybe they could do a backwards warp like in Lost Levels.
See Jeff could even fun with these if he just put a little effort into it
backwards warps are Hitler's answer to Nintendo
What in the name of fuck happened to Polanco's head?
It's ugly and mishapen?
I can see that.
And it's always been like that?
No.
I'm pretty sure it has
He has a growth coming out of the side of it like he's a Star trek ailen.
it wasn't always there

Beltre blows.
Detroit's 3 of 4 wins this month have been by 1-run.

Mariners = Slump Buster.

Wow, I used to fall asleep watching mlb.tv

not possible with this stupid yahoo commercial being that loud.

God this team sucks.
Sonics with pick number fourth

Crap

OKC here they come!
Not to mention OJ Mayo, who the Sonics will probably take in this position

and who is highly overrated by everybody. So, there is solace in that.

I think OJ

might actually be underrated at this point. Since everyone hates him and no one really bothered to watch him play.

From what I've seen

His defense is highly suspect, and his ball handling leaves a lot to be desired.

His defense is actually the one thing people rate down

that they shouldn’t. He’s a much better defender than given credit for. His ball handling is not as good as I thought it would be and he didn’t attack the rim as much as most people expected him to either.

OJ is one of the most underrated players around

and keep in mind who this is coming from. He’s a legitimately elite player, and from all accounts, a stand-up guy. I don’t blame him at all for the Guillory situation – if I were in college and someone offered to give me a car, nice shoes, a big screen TV, and lots of pocket cash to just do what I would do anyway, I wouldn’t turn them down.

I would be thrilled if the Sonics drafted him. His court vision is impeccable and when he plays with better finishers (realistically, the only guy he had on his team who moved well without the ball was Dwight Lewis), he’s just going to get better. His jump shot is a thing of beauty too. I’m just terrified that we’ll get stuck with Jerryd Bayless, who is either going to be Antonio Daniels or Dwyane Wade – there’s really no in between.

And BTW, his defense is outstanding.

Presti is smart.
Yeah, sad.

At least we got Durant last season…. or at least OKC did.

Ugh

So no Rose or Beasely.

Lulz at Knicks getting #6 and Bulls getting a top 3 pick.

Down 5-1 Sims?

Really?

Just curious. How fast is Verlander throwing?

Is he the same kinda suck he’s been all year, or has he returned to form? If he’s still down in mph, then the M’s are indeed bad.

I saw a FB clocked at 95 on the FSN gun.
That last one was 93.
He's throwing like 92 MPH on average.

We suck.

that's a still a bit down for him

Dave from USSM had a good post about this at Fangraphs. Not good for the M’s (or my FT)

no no no no no no no
Wlad is fouling off a lot of pitches right down the middle
Just put Reed Burke Cairo and Ballgame out there

Wave the white flag

I'm off to bed and turn on basketball now
nothing is more hardcore than rapping about pepsi
rapping about the ninja turtles
I remember the 1st ninjat turtle movie rap
Go ninja Go ninja Go!
i read that as "raping the ninja turtles"

which would also be more hardcore

That homerun pisses me off

because it makes Ordonez’s contract look less ridiculous.

Sims says "What do you want me to do? Put a gun in my mouth?"

awesome

I would kill to have sims come to the LL get together
That would rule.
Hey! Just got here!

How’s the game going?

It hasn't started it.

Can’t wait to see Kazmir pitch.

If we come back and win this

it will justify Mickey and the cello playing Cat.

Sims "Battle of the crafty elderly left handers tomorrow"

I think Rogers has 10 years on Burns.

Sims is just beltin’ em out today

89-91 MPH fastballs up the ying-yang.

We suck.

So...this is fun.
I like how this game has pretty much ground the game thread to a complete halt
holy crap
Wow that was like over his head.
Slump Busting, FTL.
Wow this is a bad team.
So funny...I left my parents house

and it was 2-1 Tigers…five minutes later I come in, sit down, turn on the TV and it’s 7-1.

Sadly I couldn’t even feign surprise.

Holy fuck,.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wlad was like 3 feet to the right.
WOOOOOOO

STRASBURG

this is still more hilarious

- B. Wilkerson homered to deep right

So this is fun.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
Yay fantasy team!

Oh yeah, nobody cares…

I like Detroit

Good to see them getting their swing back.

We are so bad, it hurts
WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK IS GOING ON

POLANCO AND RENTERIA ARE HITTING THE BALL HARDER THAN THEY’VE EVER HIT IT IN THEIR LIVES

I have a feeling rally fries aren't gonna save this one.
They should fire Mac, because what the hell why not, every team needs a scapegoat.
Ha, yeah.

They’ll fire him for the wrong reasons…. But hell, I don’t care. He still sucks.

Maybe Howard Lincoln will do the honorable thing and fall on his sword
Maybe the president will resign too.
Yeah right.

The only thing we can do to get rid of Armstrong and Chuck is as follows:

Convince the Japanese ownership that they are having a very sordid, public affair with each other.

Armstrong and Lincoln* dammit.
I'm against it.

Then Cheney would rule.

Hmm?

...public scapegoat
Sheffield looks finished
I think I enjoyed the great hitting, pitching starved teams

of the late ‘90s rather then the poor hitting, sometimes good sometimes crap pitching team we have here…(I was going to say good pitching but I conveniently forgot about Batista, Washburn, Silva, Baek and EOF).

Oh my
If you want to cry the House thread is a few posts over.
I don't cry at funny things
You'll never see Renteria hit a ball harder or further.
Not to speak for Jeff...

but I assume this game is awesome for a blogger.

Until Graham or Matthew shames me into thinking otherwise

...Cabrera will probably be just fine at first.

defensively? might be

but it lowers his offensive value quite significantly.

yeah, I was commenting on Sims/Blowers discussion

about how he’s nothing more than a DH at this point.

Usually guys do ok when they move down th spectrum, even if they were shitty thirdbsemen.

Washed up HOF pitchers who will be FA next year

Clemens
Martinez
Maddux
Johnson
Glavine
Schilling
Pettite
Mussina

Which would you choose? I like Glavine, but he’ll never be an M. I doubt Randy wants to come back. Schilling probably hates the NW. Maddux will never leave the NL.

M’s would probably choose Mussina because he’s the worst on the list.

Moyer!
Not so sure I'd put Moyer in the HOF
Yeah probably not

but a man can dream…

The Dragonslayer will be a Free Agent

Watch Bavasi give him three years and 36 million. Woo!

we already have a moose
Don't we have 5 pitchers on contract?
Batista to pen?

Washburn to the netherworld?

Yeah. I'll hold my breath.
Felix -------> bullpen

needs more seasoning

I don't see Washburn and Batista starting next season

I’m not so sure the both of them will finish the season in the rotation to be honest

Johnson isn't washed up.
I know he's 4-1

Haven’t seen him pitch this year though. I guess I just assumed.

He get's Ks, has good control

he’d be our third best pitcher

I still don't think he'd come back

He didn’t leave of the greatest of terms if I remember correctly. I guess if he’s still got stuff he’d be a much welcomed addition. Imagine Griffey at DH next year (fuck Griffey he’s the worst player in baseball I know, I know), and Randy in the rotation. I’d flip.

That's not what I was implying.

He’ll retire in Arizona.

Did anyone else see squiny on Reed as a defensive replacement...

“We’re happy with our defense in the outfield,’‘

Man I hope he's scapegoated.
I fear Perlozzo or Riggleman would be worse.
Man I hope they're all scapegoated.
Let the Sheriff take over
Edgar for manager

Nobody would be able to understand wtf he is talking about, and hilarity would ensue.

A Healthy Vidro grounds out to 2nd.
I like this comment.
Who would ask for the expressed written consent of the Mariners?
Sexson...master of the blowout double.
Does anyone know which Snoqualmie Falls beer they have on tap at SafeCo?
I usually get the Jack Daniels lemonade because

I handed in my man card after the rabies episode of House.

is that somehow less fruity then mikes?
It smells like gasoline.
I think it is Wildcat IPA
LMAO KENJI!

Oh this IS funny!

What happened?

Did Kenji do something crazy like triple? I’ve got the game off right now.

Nah he had the lamest check swing into an out I've ever seen.
Pudge Rodriguez

Most overrated player ever?

.... no?

Why do you think so?

Didn't hit nearly as well as everyone thinks he did.
catcher defense is overrated
his wasn't

he was legitimately awesome for many many years. Yeah, his hitting was inflated by Texas and all, but he’s been a great player.

I agree he’s overrated, but nowhere close to most.

I think you took my subject line a bit too literally.

It’s a shame his 2000(?) season was cut short.

I was just thinking about all the old Roy Neyer flamewars where he was called an idiot for thinking he wasn’t clearly the best catcher ever to play the game.

He's a good player.
obviously

or was a good layer

Most overrated player ever?

Alex Rodriguez.

:)

List of things funnier than that picture:

1) Everything
2) i

It makes me laugh evertime I see it.
You know what that picture is from?

That was the day Griffey handed that guy his used jockstrap after he signed it.

Even better!

Link

This is why Griffey is the greatest player of all time.

if you take away all the players better than him, you're correct.
I do.
That's a lot of players you have to get rid of. Kudos to you for taking the time.
It's easier when you've categorized them into two groups based on the following criteria:

Is this player named Ken Griffey Jr.?
Group 1 = yes
Group 2 = no

Then I delete group 2.

Yeah, that's pretty close.

You do have to eliminate all current MLB players before Griffey ends up coming out on top.

I may be deleting worse players.

But they’re casualties of my pro-Griffey-is-the-best-player-of-all-time war.

He said "of all-time"

Griffey isn’t the worst player of all-time. Even if he currently is the worst in 2008 as long as he plays the field.

I think you're responding to the wrong person.
I'm jealous.
That was pretty cool.
I smile every time you get upset about this

Griffey blows.

I'm glad you enjoy my 5-minute Photoshop.
That took five minutes?
'roids shrink your man bolts and reduce your sex drive

Is in doubt.

I think the Mariners make a strong point here

regarding their claim to the status of worst team in the league. Move aside, Detroit!

How much losing can a Canadian Baseball Writer take before he snaps?

From the 5:45 blog update…

“That’s now seven strikeouts in six innings for Justin Verlander as the M’s prepare to bow out of this one in a hurry. Now an 8-1 game after Cha Seung Baek served up a homer to Magglio Ordonez on the fourth pitch thrown in the fifth. Verlander looks cured of all the pitching ailments that had afflicted him heading into this game. Call it a dose of “M’s tonic’’. Got a losing streak that needs fixing? A little problem getting hitters out? Well, hey just call 1-800-Bavasi and he’ll send you a lineup guaranteed to fix your hurts. By the way, this is the type of game that gets managers fired.”

I like how LL has become a Baker reaction blog.
from 5:56
5:56 p.m.: Look out, folks, it’s hailing in Detroit. Baseball-sized hail stones are landing in the bleachers, or just missing the heads of sprinting Seattle outfielders. Oh, no, wait. It’s only the latest BP session being thrown by Cha Seung Baek. The reliever who makes you think Rolaids in ways totally different from J.J. Putz just gave up his second and third homers in two innings in the sixth, making it 11-1 for a Tigers team outhitting the M’s 15-4. As I said, this is the type of game that gets a manager fired. The M’s have shown little life at the plate or in the field and are getting humiliated by the worst team in the American League.

All I can say is… I’m glad I don’t have his job.

But I find this type of writing absolutely hilarious and I hope he does it more often.
The worst team in the AL?

Has he been watching the team he is paid to blog about?

Detroit has a worse record.
Not for long
Well... obviously.
Don't roll your eyes at me
See, this is exactly how he should write.

This type of cynical commenting on games is excellent. This is what I like to see.

Its not worth my time to say this

But we fucking blow.

I think that's the Fifth Law of Thermodynamics
lolol

no banjo cat for you

yuni blast! GO!

At least Joe’s Tracer wants to entertain me.

RALLLLLLY!
False hope!

Ha, I kid. There is no hope. Not even false hope.

2 outs? Fuck off
Tigers getting sloppy!

I do enjoy their struggles given all the money they spent in the off-season…

wow, how did Ichiro hit that?
NEW THREAD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link here.

I'm so there.
Well played.
I never click on that...I just click the lookoutlanding link on the bottom to get to the homepage
you should click on this one
he would never HaloRoll you
I see what you did there..I approve
YES RALLY!!
So I think I'm going to avoid watching the games when the Red Sox come to town.

Anyone else with me?

Nah I don't think so

Nothing like getting pounded with style.

I don't mind seeing us fail

I just don’t want to see us fail with ten thousand Red Sox fans filling up our stadium. I hate Red Sox Nation.

Ohhh that's a good point.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WE SUCK!

WOOOOOOOOO Guillen

YOU STOMPED ON THAT On…

Oh snap we traded you for Ramon Santiago.

At least we still have Ramon Santiago
HAHAhaha... ha... fuck
You could jog laps in this dugout

It's a lot different than highschool.
I'm so glad Jeremy Reed isn't in the game.

If there’s anything you need in a 12-3 rout, it’s veterans still on the field.

I want to see Raul strain his quad.
I want to see Bill Bavasi strain his manager position.
Removing veterans would be admitting defeat

We cannot shame ourselves by admitting defeat.

So we should kill ourselves rather than disgrace the emperor?
Hence the falling on sword of M's management

We can get the Operative from Serenity to help them.

Like I've been saying

the only way to get rid of Howie and Chuck are to convince the Japanese ownership they’re having a public affair.

Reed!
no strained quad >:(
Boomquist!

Blasehit!

Reed pops up

He’ll have to sit on the bench for the next two weeks as punishment.

Send him back down.
nice throw
WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME!
God damn it.

Vidro gets 3 more weeks

Just switched to baskeball

Only to see Joey Crawford making a pair of ludicrous calls… I thought they threw him out of the league.

Vidro is wheezing on second!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

A healthy Vidro hits meaningless doubles.
Vidro 2B

crap

if the game was 3-3 that would make me happy
Bloomquist - Reed - Vidro - Cairo

worst hitters ever assembled consecutively? (outside the NL)

so I can't retort with the Giants' MOTO?

[sifts through 92 Angels’ lineups]

put 'em in any order

ha ha ha

heh

that was my last “official” year as an Angels fan.

It was a smooth transition.

Sweet tits I've never seen so many sub .300 OBPs
You've just seen our future.
But that team had great chemistry.
Wow... Vidro is actually the best of the bunch?

Wow

He's not.
Oh is Reed better?
I'd take Reed or Willie over Vidro
But Cairo tells great stories!
High fives all around
At least we get punch and ho-hos after the game.
So, randomly, I just got a massive food craving for some stuffed crust pizza.
Let me know
I cannot eat a whole pizza by myself. Need someone to share it with.
are you pregnant?
I'm confused.
sudden cravings for food wanting to share it with Jeff

yeah I could have done better

oh fuck now I'm getting the same craving

maybe if I pick it up myself…

Damn V7 chords... always wanting to resolve in funky ways...
So I'm never buying a Nissan

there are so many different parts of my ass that MLB.tv can kiss

I'm waiting to see how much worse this is than silence.
Just for the record

a Nissan Hardbody pickup is a great truck. I’ve got 330,000 miles on mine.

Stay away Corco
I'm serious!

They’re great trucks!

The run on American flag combustion right?
Eric Davis 2.0 is 3 for 4 with 4 RBI

Yeap.

You guys ever been to Paseo's Cuban Sandwich Shop?

I had forgotten how good it was…funny to look around the place and see everyone devouring their sandwichs making strange and slightly sexual satisfactory noises.

I'm planning on moving to Fremont to be closer to Paseo.

I’m not joking in the slightest.

Yeah I was kinda sad when I had to choose Greenlake instead.

They have some strange hours of operation…no Mondays, and they celebrate odd holidays. Worth the wait though.

Tigers scored lots of runs.

Glad we can help.

needs more rubenesque Jose Vidro
Stupid Blue Jays

Bases loaded, no outs, 0 runs.

Since this is going nowhere I'm going to count the ways that Griffey sucks:

(1) at baseball

(2) Hitting more home runs than Barry Bonds
(3) Stretching
(3) Less Nike commercials than Jordan

am i doing this right?

(3) making a classy exit
(4) Endorsing Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run
(5) making N64 video games with competent outfield defense
(6) leaving Seattle on better terms than A-Rod
(7) Pissing off the common M's fan
(7) at baseball
this list just lapped itself
He's really bad at it
I'm guessing your recaps go through more than one draft.
We've been over this before

after the intro paragraph the rest is usually a series of excerpts from Gerald Ford’s autobiography.

to be honest

I don’t read anything that’s not in chart form.

Hence

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/5/20/524120/5-20-open-game-thread-part#6242286

I think this subthread just lapped itsself.
(8) at baseball
He is quite bad at it.
I had that ready to go to.
Technically, this is a D-Raysbay meme.
Sister site
bad image

I wanna bang that site

sister-in-law site
who's our brother?
McCovey Chronicles
He's not the type to beat the site out of us for banging his wife is he?
I'm confused
Maybe I'm the one that is confused.
I wanna be that site's bitch.
uh oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
which means its not overpriced and likely to implode at any moment
Hey look

something resembling an outfield defense.

How horrible will Washburn be tomorrow?

At least Kenny Rogers has an excuse for sucking this year he’s like 50

8 runs through 2 2/3 IP

Leaves with a “calf strain”

I thought you guys were kidding about the Pepsi rap
Worse than silence, huh/

I’ll find out in ~20 mins.

Since today is a lost cause

I really wish Reed would have subbed in for Ichiro in CF. His legs are going to fall off by the all-star break.

I can't wait until Ichrio gets the patial day off at DH

and we run out a Raul/Ballgame/Wlad OF

hope! hope! hope!
man, pizza hut's website sucks worse than the Mariners.
They're trying to warn you
They have coupons, but Ihave the damnest time logging in.
That one time I ended up getting the stuffed crust

I severely regretted it. But to be fair I missed that whole thread.

Sounds like you grasp the main point though
It tastes good until the chesse solidifies inside the crust.
I've never had it warm and fresh
You're doing it somewhat wrong.
screw it, $18 for a medium pizza?

you’re not getting my money this time PH. I do think this should be done during the get-together though.

No on-line coupon?

balderdash

there might be one, I can't figure it out and I don't have much patience for their shitty food.
http://www.amantepizzaandpasta.com/
holy fuck that thing is unuseable
$10.99

buh?

link

on second thought

you and I probably reside in different zip codes

Stuft crust?

That’d be pretty funny.

This is better than the Schindler's List suggestion
we should have tried in SF instead of that German place none of us remember.

I bet stuffed crust is awesome when you’re blitzed.

Too blitzed to think about it
True.

Speaking of which, can you bring some In-N-Out up with you?

Would you believe me if I said I've tried that before?
Only if you say it worked and yes, you will bring me some delicious double cheeses
Technically it worked but it satisfied no one
we could compare day old in-n-out with fresh stuffed crust...
I want no part of this experiment
don't lie. you're curious.
I didn't say I wasn't curious
It was just throwing it out there.
Well there is some good news today, people.

A judge has found Jack Thompson guilty of misconduct during the GTA and Bully trials.

Disbarment likely to follow.

Yay for freedom of pretending to kill things
This is going to be a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg three weeks
Unclutchest RBI I've seen in a while
meaningless

if he wanted to help the team out he should have hit into a DP and got them in bed a a decent time

7 more runs, and three outs

and we break out the bass playing cat

Oh yeah there's a game.

Bases are juiced baby!

Yay - excuses to use all of these new images.

a lightsabre seems like it wouldn't work very well in baseball.
Especially when one-handed
Probably would result in a dead ball.

Get it? Dead ball. You know, because the lightsaber slices the ball in half.

I’ve got nothing, people.

you'd lead the league in swinging bunt singles
I like the look of focus on his face.

Like the ball is floating.

Lightsabre? Graham is rubbing off on all of us far too much.
You could just keep cutting the ball and forcing the pitcher to throw pitches until he is tired and then use a real bat
Bring in Todd Jones

Let’s thrash his fat ass around

I would laugh my ass off for days and days

if we did this…who’s coming in, did Fransisco Cruceta already pitch?

Ima kill you Pepsi rap
Francisco Cruceta.

Hey now.

I can't hear him over the sound of all those steroids he took
Hey I remember you

I thought this guy sucked

he did.
Reed just hit him

So apparently he still does

Reed baby!
REED!!!!!!!

Game still over but hey now!

Hey, Reed is better than Vidro.

Who knew?

Not Geoff Baker?
Perhaps in the twisted evaluations of M's management

this warrants additional playing time?

One hit does not a veteran make.
He played for a couple seasons!

He’s been through some wars!

the war on drugs is not a real war.
It was a selfish move that needlessly prolonged the game.

$2000 fine and a trip back to AAA Tacoma.

Don't call it a comeback!!
What's going on?
Oh don't do this to me Mariners...
needs more epic
Oooh. 12-8

What an exciting game.

God I hate Jose Vidro so much
What the hell do you call this?

Holy shit

False hope.
Boy, that bullpen kinda stinks...
Let's trade some of ours for some of their hitters.
COMEBACK
you jinxed it good job
False hope!
IT IS CLEARLY REAL HOPE
And here comes Todd Jones

I have hope, damn you Mariners!

This is getting interesting....
Todd fatass Jones!!

Out of the frying pan into the oven

Miguel Cairo - oh.
BUT MIGEUL CARIO HAVE 5 RBI!!!11one! HE IS TEH CLUTCH!!!one11!!!11
So instead of a game here's a list of foreign insults

http://www.cracked.com/article_16275_9-most-devastating-insults-from-around-world.html

cracked is a quality website.

Other helpful Serbian phrases:

“The Pope fucks you” (Jebo te Papa)

I can't stop laughing at

“Brush your teeth, my dick will be inspecting soon!”

Sweet, we have our big bats up.
God if Cairo gets a hit right now

we’re going to be stuck with him for another season.

BB would suffice.
Their booing brings me strength
It's making me feel a little gassy.
At least Jones blows.
i don't even know our lineup at this point

so I’m not even sure what I should be rooting for.

Cairo's suck is better than Jones'
Cairo in game over.
Fitting.

DFA.

Nice work, Cairo.
hahahaha

Cairo

Ah you knew that was coming

The one sub you shouldn’t have used McLaren you fuck

When Cairo pinch-hit it was 12-3
It's inexcusable to have him on the roster to begin with

Rant rant rant

Well at least we made them squirm over at BYB

Yay for small victories…

Cairo grounding out, great finish.
knew it was a false hope ><
Teach you to have hope.
It wasn't false while it lasted, it was real. It made me believe.
That isn't the only thing Leyland will be smoking tonight Sims

Eye problems you know

I don't know whats more pathetic

The fact that we didn’t have anyone to pinch hit for Cairo there that wasn’t terrible, or that we had Cairo up there.

What do you want?

This was a complete blowout when the subs came in.

Cairo off the team
Felix should have PH.
Ichiro pitching.
I meant the fact we're acctually paying Cairo
So who's going to see Indy IV on Thursday?
I might see it tomorrow night
The timely wnd to this game is Ludwck approved.
Typos starting with w are fun to say outloud
I was hoping no one would see.
It would suck to have the post game job these days

Glad we’re not forced to listen to them.

So the one Padres series a year I watch and Vasgerian is on the DL?

humbug

According to the portion of the game I watched, the Mariners won 7-1
Watch the whole damn thing next time.
A woman at work was talking about hockey

that so takes precedence

She was probably just talking about how the players were hot.

Just give him some amantadine and call it good
Good, let your hate flow through you

Heh

Reminds me the X-Play skit with the Emperor who counsels a patient into killing his family.

So, I hear there was a good House episode recently.

Nothing like turning on the game to find out Silva sucks again.

I don't think I'm going to complain about this team ever again.

It’s all be said so many times.

I wake up to find out that the Mariners lost, and the Sonics got 4th pick

Fuck Detroit and fuck Chicago

Oops, extra, comma, dammit
Man they didn't suck all year for the 4th pick

Dammit.

I didn't go through all that heartbreak for OJ fucking Mayo

I typed that before realizing it sounded like a refrigerator sex scene

Mayo seems like it would be a guy

DO. NOT. WANT.

Umm so i guess i didnt miss much?

Steak is nice….Fosters is good, Paulaner’s Double Bock is much better.

Back to studying…

Well if anyone is going to trigger a Tigers comeback, it might as well be us
Emil Brown for the win!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DEFENSE CANNOT HURT YOU!!
I just listened to Not Vasgerian talk about how the 2003 Mariners were the greatest rotation in history

for three hours

fuck this shit I hate Joel starts

I want to start a defense blog.

All I would talk about is defense. Defense. Only defense. That’s it. And the conclusion to every post would be “just another bit of evidence that defense is far and away the most underrated and underappreciated aspect of the game today.” And the site logo would be Raul walking on all fours like he has spina bifida.

...and nobody would read it

because we’re all not huge losers

Baker reference?
No, I just like to put people down
Also, what the fuck?

I Google Image searched “spina bifida” and now I feel sick. You dirty, dirty whore

you GIS everything you hear?

well then, this was bound to happen.

I DON'T HAVE VERY GOOD JUDGEMENT
spina bifida

is only like the 23rd most disgusting thing I’ve happened to GIS.

i was just thinking the same thing.
My friend once suprised me with a GIS of "shitting dick nipples"
If you were hoping we would do this

you are sadly mistaken, tubgirl.

I think it's both hilarious and disappointing that that exists

And mostly disappointing that I looked it up

no glove on a pole in a rollerskate?
Not graphic enough
You'd need to flim leftfield

from the 300 level at Safeco to truly convey your message

You could also use a GIF of Raul throwing the ball straight into the ground.
Defense Wins Championships
You know who sucks at defence, Jeff?

Josh Hamilton

He could always move to LF and still be an asset.
I'm okay with that
Looking at our WE chart for this game, them fancy conpooters didn't think we had a chance to win the game

after the 5th inning.

Jeff Clement

Hits a GS for Tacoma.

This news should make me happy

but it only makes me sad.

yep

feel the same way…. if only he’d have had a modicum of success when he was here.

...so Frank thomas is kicking ass again
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS
So I just saw Brown's error

God damn.

I could get paid to do that
Too late, already Brown's job
"It's not his job to play defense, it's his job to hit with men on."

This is the most annoying of all annoying arguments.

Do you play the field?

THEN PART OF YOUR JOB IS TO PLAY DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to argue with retards all day about this.

uuuuuugggghhh

Roles and labels are the worst of baseball inventions
it's not unique to baseball
Where can I see this error?
Gameday

Top of the 8th.

I was almost sure he was referencing my typing.
and

bwhahahahahaha @ Brown

Looked like Vintage Ibanez to me.
Say what you will about Raul but at least he generally manages to catch the balls hit right at him
Raul may not have range but at least he doesn't have an iron glove like Fist Rockbone
I am not falling for this again, Blast
Whatever Thickneck, go write your recap.
Writer's block, Squatthrust
God dammit

sidebar plz
You think Crash Steelpipe would be able to do better than Shari Lewis.
Correct

although at least in other sports the labels can actually carry some meaning (“sniper” or “agitator” in hockey, for example).

I was about to go into the ZOMG POLITCS zone but thought better of it.
