I feel less wonderful
Time to hit Clement.
Fuck you for that picture
seriously

that is depressing. and funny.

I was there

Believe me, it wasn’t funny then and it’s not funny now.

So...how bout the Seahawks going to RB by committee this season?
Exciting.

I see at least 11-5 with a pretty weak schedule.

I am excited with the addition of Wahle at LG

Not to mention a new O-Line coach, new running back coach. And new running backs.

The new O-Line coach I'm not so excited about...

might be signaling the shift to Air Coryell. I don’t like Air Coryell.

check the pics of Julius Jones from mini-camp

the guy looks determined to make a statement this year. Of course he could suck.

Just as long as we can convert

SOME FUCKING THIRD AND ONES…I’ll be happy.

BOOOOOO!
this game and thread

I find that picture hilarious
It's like four different trains collided. It's gorgeous in its own way
I don't know. It's not a bad thread.

Nothing spectacular, but not horrible either.

yet
My expectations are pretty low.
More singles

woooo.

Ah shit, the archive is the Yankee feed

not going back and screenshotting Sims’ new hat.

no hat

but he was wearing a pink shirt

nah, from yesterday
WE ARE BEING SHUT DOWN BY MIKE MUSSINA

this is the equivalent to Alex Smith tearing through the Seahawks defense.

Shut up I was at that game >:(
So was I >:(
I still scream whenever I see a naked bootleg
that was the worst regular season game of the past 3 seasons
It was a fucking monsoon too

And we traded Doyle the night before

Speaking of things that almost killed me
Well, Iron Man it is
fuck this shit

i’m going to go watch my Blu Ray dvd movie, “The Notebook”

uncalled for....

do you realize how long it’s going to take this board to regain it’s manliness status now?

I'm about to go watch "About A Boy"
Was I just summoned by bad chick flicks being named?
There is a world in need.

Go, Estrogen Boy!

I started watching "Reign Over Me" last night but fell asleep. I might go finish that if this game still keeps doing this
Cinerama - 7:40 PM sharp

...at least I won’t have to keep up with a shit game on my cellphone during this movie too

FUCK YOU TO HELL RICHIE
I remember Cammy's hilariously futile attempt to climb the wall and bring that HR back
fuck you in the mouth Richie
Picture! Picture!
Clean fucking house....
I hope Sexson gets asstittyfucked to death
I'm glad I was able to explain that.
I tried to explain that term to my Ex while drunk last night
Dave Sims losing the faith.

Join the club, Rizs.

Ho-lee shit

Why do I keep subjecting myself to this BS?

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

We were all fucking crazy, but now that we don’t expect different results I think we’re just masochists.

Or just stupid
hahahahaha

this is seriously the most depressing start to a season, considering all the hype with bedard

by that

I mean I hyped our starting pitching up so much, I figured we didn’t need an offense or defense. oops.

Could be worse

We’re not Rangers’ fans

The Rangers can be tied with the M's after today.
...

Frak me. Well, at least we’re not Pirates’ fans.

Life would be easier

If Bill Watterson was still penning Calvin and Hobbes.

Yes. Yes it would.
The Pirates have a better FO than us.
Everyone but San Francisco has a better FO than us.
Could they please

Learn to hit an outside pitch to opposite field instead of trying to pull it. Thus grounding into these easy double plays.

GOD DAMMIT STOP SQUEEZING FELIX

YOU FUCKING CUNTBAG UMPIRE

GTE aside, is Felix really getting squeezed? I can't see the TV feed
Maybe a little.

He’s not very sharp though.

On Gameday, only the 4th pitch looks sketchy.

But yeah, that one was definitely a strike

Well, according to joe's tracker he is

But I honestly am not sure with the angles that TV cameras take.

How much control do pitchers have over BAA?
A fair bit, thanks to strikeouts
Ok, because Mussina has a career BAA of .155 while Felix's is .259 and I was wondering if Mussina was really that good at

getting outs

and like the rest of the team

Felix gives up… waves the white flag.

Go away Felix

I don’t want to see you today

Robert kept him up all night. >:(
I have needs too
The needs of the many...
Fuck off Damon
Someone shot Pettitte in the chin with a bb gun

wrong gun

drill him start a brawl

do something to make this game somewhat entertaining….

Well, we've just learned an important part of being a manager or executive

1. You like to think about baseball.

Is it wrong for we to wish that Jeter gets beaned in the face?
I think it's wrong to wish he doesn't
Remember when Norm

said this team had to get mean… even if it meant hitting people…..

Aw, piss up a rope!
"looks like ole Sol is about to pay us a visit here"

Dave is awesome

Where in the fuck was that?
Where's that pic of Derek Jeter's

strikezone compared to everyone elses?

How about Jeter's strike zone compared to Sexson's strike zone.
Okay, now that "Ball" to Abreu was fucking ridiculous
I miss Jose Guillen

I don’t know why. I just have a hunch he was like some secret ingredient for Seattle’s almost (and most likely lucky) success last season. Plus he could hit.

he can't hit this year for KC so far
Jose Guillen's OPS is 546 so far.

He wouldn’t be the answer right now.

Actually, looking at Jeter's AB, these ball calls ARE ridiculous.

Holy shit, Felix really is getting jobbed.

I don't really think it matters.
He can't get strikes at the knees

thus, everything is elevated and his pitches are hittable.

WHY IS MIGUEL CAIRO BATTING SECOND?
fuck this game
And what the hell is wrong with our defense?
It sucks.

We knew this coming into the season.

we knew it would have weak spots

but nothing nearly as bad as its showing…. even the good defenders stink right now….

Everyone is waving the white flag?
Well we knew they would have no range

I wasn’t counting on a massive amount of errors on makable (were they? didn’t see) plays

A couple of the errors yesterday

were bullshit calls in my opinion.

The two errors today were warranted.

Ugh because I mean even Raul isn't terrible as long as you hit the ball right at him...
Meh.

Fuck this shit.

It's 2006

I’m in college

2006 was a good year for me
2006 was meh

2004 was where its all at

Is it bad that I'm not even watching the game anymore?

Instead I’m watching LL?

I'd call it totally justified
Well,

LL has been more entertaining lately

These days

I follow LL first and the Mariners second.

I thought he needed a ground ball there.

“need need needs a ground ball here”

popup to shallow center seemed to be ok.

If a double play is a pitchers best friend

then whats a shallow center popup? The guy a pitcher knows at work?

Friend with benefits
I love Giambi's gameday photo

It looks like he just got out of Bellevue. Or he’s on a drug far stronger than steroids.

Cairo saves the day.
"Cairo saves the day."

A phrase uttered perhaps twice before in the history of mankind. Or at least Major League Baseball.

Baek warming up

YES

this game needs more dickey

take felix out now, why bother letting him throw any more pitches when we have about a 5% chance of coming back

Well atleast they didn't get any runs.
I'm so ready for a Wladimir Balentblast
As are we all
Does that count?
Happy Day Before Carlos Silva Day!

Woo…he’s our stopper.

stop
Gotta be zen about this man

Counter the tide of negativity. It’s the only way.

You cant take away our negativity

Its all that we have left.

I think you mean Shiva

That's the kind of thing nightmares are made out of.
Four innings, 11 baserunners
Go fuck off and die Kenji.
he will

3 years from now.

I'm beginning to doubt that
He'll get a Wakefield contract?
Nationals leading the Pirates 5-2

I think I’m about to switch over to that game.

Find your chi shithead
I'll be 26 when his contract runs out!

jesus.

As will I

I wonder how many people I will have murdered by then.

how many are you up to now?
Between 0 and 10
0 < X < 10
the shape of the parenthses make all the difference in the world
I'll be damn near 50
Wlad wooo.
yeah

another single.

Only 3 more for a run
Wladiocre?

Woo another single.

It would be funny if Wlad led off and instead of stealing 2nd sprinted right at the mound

just to see what would happen

it's been done
It would tie in with the M's offense being based on keeping the pitcher scared of the player's on base.

Needs more dying
No shit, Superman should've pile driven that plane full of reporters right on top of Jeter
Not funny.
wrong
What do you call a 9/11 hijacker who forgets the date and time of the terrorist attack?

Cory Lidle

That's terrible but hilarious
Yes it is.
Its only funny because I want it to be true
Just remember who won the World Series in 2001

It makes the whole “Yankee Glory” story tolerable.

no it doesnt
Oddly enough, if you proposed ramming a FRESH airplane (empty of course) into Yankee Stadium, that would somehow be acceptable
Just pretend the plane is full of Yankees
Hmm...sounds right. Empty stadium, plane full of Yankees

And maybe Boston fans.

Stadium full of Boston fans

Hey look we just made a tolerable 9/11.

needs more anaheim
I wouldn't mind some Mets fans in there. Can we toss in some Mets fans?
I'll be taking care of that one myself
So you're going to manually pick up Anaheim and put it in front of an airplane?
I've been working out
I
I'll help by providing the airplane
:(
I'll warn Adenhart, Kotchman, and Kendrick
Don't forget to warn Willits!!
But then they'll tell their friends
Angels don't have any friends
I'll warn them and take their cell phones
Torii doesn't get a reprieve?

That stolen HR has put him permanently on your shitlist, hasn’t it?

You might want to warn GMJ too, just because he’s so helpful to us.

Torii Hunter's house will be the epicenter
And Chone Figgins' house will be the epicenter

there will be multiple epicenters

4 planes is small potatos
Make his fucking Bentley the epicenter
More than tolerable. Fucking AWESOME 9/11
I know

I mean there’s no way a jetliner could approach the field at that kind of angle. It’s just silly.

IT WAS A MISSLE DOOD
LOOSE CHANGE
Post that at pinstripe alley!
A friend of mine's relative died in 9/11 so go fuck yourself
You're the last person who can pretend to make the rules here
I'm not making any rules

I’m just telling him to go fuck himself. I feel the same way about you if you feel the same way, sorry.

You can also go fuck yourself
To anyone having a problem with me telling people to go fuck themselves in this thread

oh well, I don’t care

For the sand in your vagina

quit being such a fa-
Is it ok to say that if we qualify it with

“It’s OK I can say that, I’m black?”

Try to figure out for a second why that second statement softens the first one.
There's gonna be a lot of self-fucking going on
Well if it happened this way he'd still be alive.
Brett's got a point
I approve of this sub thread
You're in the wrong place to get your panties in a bunch.
Was he uptown, riding a bicycle when it happened?
YEAH THE TERERISTS SHUD HAV ATTAKED CANDA THEM DAM FRENCHIES
Don't bait me

and go fuck yourself

Do me next!
No! He doesn't do you, he tells you to do yourself
OK

Go fuck yourself.

How liberating.

And seriously, that's what he gets for being in New York
Someone I know once died so guys plz stop talking about people dying it hurts my feelings thx
I wonder if Wilkerson could catch up to Mussina's fastball?
Fuck.
Wow, you're really far ahead of gameday and MLB.TV
Ok! CAIRO TIME!!!

Clutch

PINCH HIT DAMMIT

PINCH FUCKING HIT

why does Miguel Cairo seem to bat every inning?
Because the way our offense is

all of them are Miguel Cairos

excellent observation

a waste of a morning!

Cairo is a hero get ready for something great
How long do I have to wait?

Can I bring snacks?

You can bring snacks but you can't eat them
Just make sure it's several months worth
Grand slam in the 7th

Money in the bank

Don't worry...

Blowers is talking about what a vet Cairo is. He’ll come through.

Usually I don't watch the gamethread as to not ruin it

but right now I want to know how Miguel Cairo fails to prepare for the stomach punch

Fuck you Cairo
Self-Cairowned

:-(

Migueeeeeeeeeeell Cairo!

WT Fucking F?

Where is that from?

"Little Britain"

Comedy sketch-show on British TV

I have no idea

It was just the first good image that showed up when image.googling barfing, vomiting, etc

It's quite inspired

You just need to photoshop out the Union Jack and put the vomiting dude in an M’s cap/uni

Those segments turned a good show into a bad show
This makes no sense to me but it is awesome

rec’d

I paid a hooker....

to do that to me once. So hot.

I wanna try

Whats it called

haha...

monty python?

well, same country at least
Cano has been the unluckiest hitter in baseball so far
Unluckier than Beltre?

At least Cano isn’t stuck wasting his talents on the Mariners

Beltre's been unlucky?

He’s OPSing like .900

Beltre's unlucky that he's stuck playing for the Mariners, not in his hitting
BTW, seems like Felix's velocity is way down on the gun

NYY’s gun/pitchf/x?

yes
This may come up next weekend
good point
I think so

Yesterday’s game, Erik and Wang were both down like 3-4 mph if I recall.

Whoever said they have stopped watching the game and are just watching the thread.

Good idea.

That was me

There’s still a game going?

Who knows.

But good call.

That's what I'm doing.
TOR throwing another shutout
Well, that inning was better.
yeah but we've already lost

we can’t hit pitchers like mussina

What I want to know is why the only team Sexson

and Ibanez can hit multiple HR’s off of is the Halos. :/

I was wondering why Ibanez was leading off so many innings ..

.. then I remembered Cairo.

God dammit, it hurts because it's true :(
look at the bright side of today's cairo tragedy

the chances of him being released tomorrow are probably about 10 times higher than they were before the game started.

10x0=0

he’s way too veteran. and scrappy.

KILL THE PIGEON
Paging Randy Johnson.

Randy Johnson to the white courtesy phone please.

Banner day for Ensberg
Jesus catfucking Christ, now the Pirates have tied it vs. the Nats

This just ain’t my day. Again.

Is this more embarrassing than getting owned by Paul Byrd?
Can you repeat the question?
It is retarded to have Giambi play defense
Why?

We’re not putting the ball in play.

results based analysis aside

its a general rule

Is it normal that I feel like burning down an orphanage right now?
No. Take out your destructive tendencies on something worth destroying

like Angel Stadium

Orphans are worth destroying

They don’t have feelings

ANGELS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS

Well, except Eyebrows and the Optimist. You guys are OK.

BUT THINK ABOUT HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE THERE ARE THERE

No one cares of orphans

Think bigger

nunnary?
I was thinking the pentagon
I think people have already tried that
I trust brett will succeed where others have failed
They succeeded too

we’re having a nice 9/11 discussion above. Come join!

We need 9/11 times 1,000
You need to concentrate on innocent people that don't derserve to die.
clementclementclementclement
Just look at those first two strikes to Clement on Gameday

They are ridiculously marginal. Felix wasn’t getting those calls.

[yes I have become “that fan”]

HEY JEFF CLEMENT STOP SUCKING BEFORE WE HAVE CAIRO DHING
JEFF CLEMENT SUPERSTAR
ARE YOU REALLY WHO THEY SAY YOU ARE?
THEN HAVE NO FEAR, THE CAMERA'S HERE
This old bag of fucks has struck us out four times

he came in with a swinging strike rate of six. Six!

Sounds like his mojo is rising
i dont understand why we keep swinging and not making contact
Make that 5.
FIVE STRIKEOUTS

WHAT THE FLYING MOTHERFUCK

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MISS THAT RICHIE
ALL YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKING RETARDED

THIS IS BAD
THIS IS BAD PITCHING
THIS IS YOU GETTING DONKEY PUNCHED BY BAD PITCHING

I could have hit that
I could've struck out for less than 15 million dollars.
Hell, I would strike out for free

like Billy Crystal

RICHIE! RICHIE! RICHIE!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
Fuck this I'm going to go play The Show
I wish I had a PS3

fucking 2k8 is kinda dumb. better than nothing, and it does have pretty awesome graphics. and it freezes every couple hours, too, which is nice.

Got to give Mussina credit

He blew down Sexson without some nasty 85 mph fastballs

we're still being shut down by Mike Mussina

this is more like an Alex Smith/Shaun Alexander duo tearing through the Hawks defense.

And did Richie really swing and miss through two straight 84 MPH fastballs?

Well they're probably more like 86-87

...

This season

Over?

It took you this long to realize?
Why do people keep repeating this?

Its been known for a while?

Wishful thinking

Grover?

Lopez gets that.
The Blue Jays are absurd
And yet they have the same record the M's do.

0_o

ALL IS NOT LOST

LaTroy Hawkins warming up

The Yankees - a player wants to honor Roberto Clemente, and they choose Paul O'Neill instead

cue pic of John Marzano beating down on Paul O’Neill’s pansy ass

whatever

this game is stupid

Give me aids
ok, but the sex better be unforgetable
blowhole?
I am recommending this FanPost
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
Is it really easy to hit the upper deck over there?

It seems like they’re always knocking them up there

fucking bean someone
please hit homeruns like less of a 12 year old girl
I really hate Michael Kay's home run calls
I really hate Michael Kay
good hustle to nearly make that play cairo
btw why is felix still in? we won't win and he has been overworked
McLaren's lost his towel.
Time for Felix to come out of the game.
please, someone start a brawl
Take Felix out first

I’d like to see Cha Baek’s brawl face.

Would it be any different?
He's like that queit guy that you know is gonna do something cool
I wonder if Kenji could find his chi
I hope Richie uses him as a club
like his VTech friend?
FUCK YOU I HAVE A FRIEND OF A FRIEND THAT WENT THERE
4 YEARS AGO
IT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE HE WOULD'VE DESERVED IT
YES LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT LOLLABLUEZA
Buy M's 2008 playoffs tickets now!
I WUZ THERE

I DID NOT WEAR BLUE

I AM GLAD I CHOSE TO GO TO TWO OF THOSE GAMES
THANKS FOR TAKING ME ASSHOLE
THAT'S ONE LETTER CHANGE AWAY FROM GAY SEX

AND YOU ARE WELCOME

I'M ALWAYS ONE LETTER AWAY FROM GAY SEX
An overrated team's B-Lineup and D pitching is destroying us.

Ok DMZ, you were right. We’re not an 85 win team even without injuries…

So... what are people's plans this summer?
Writing about how you should make other plans this summer
I need some ideas because this Mariners thing is not looking to work out.
Vacation in Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay is a body of water
Drowning would be a vacation
I yearn to vacation at the bottom
I want to fuck a mermaid
Where the fuck would her vagina be?
dont care

still hot

Hibernate till the Seahawks season starts.
So...yeah...about LL night on May 5th....

Urge to go to a Mariners game falling…

Umm... stop making Felix throw 110+ pitches.

What the hell

Sims getting sarcastic.

I like it.

What's he saying?

I’m stuck watching YES on mlb.tv

"Basehit up the middle. Oh and hey I don't have the repeat button on"
Haha, love it

Thanks

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW

BUH
BUH BUH BUH BUH
BUH BUH BUH BUH
BUH BUH BUH BUH

GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT
That was right down the middle you queen
Remember when the Mariners scored 15 runs in Yankee stadium last year?
I want to get a DUI just so I can go to vern fonk
Woo! Klawmaster answered my question.

Sorry, this is the highlight of my Mariners related day…

Hey Keith,

I’ve familiar with your opinion on Jeff Clement, but how high do you think the ceiling is for Wladimir Balentien?

By keith on May 3, 2008

Frosty: Yes, Balentien should be better than what Wilkerson gave Seattle. (Although color me confused at where Wilkerson’s power from just a few years ago has gone.) He’s not better than Jones, but he has above-average raw power and some willingness to work the count.

NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP FUCKERS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WE CAN GO DOWN FURTHER
2 hits in a game for Kenji?!
haha. stupid yankees.

go wlad?

Rally sighted
where?

what game are you watching cuz this one sucks

Rally shot
Hit it to the Jeter/Ensberg zone

Good strategy

Wow, Jason Giambi is very bad
yeah, Wlad's not likely to be the answer.
WLADIOCRITY
Ahahahahahaha Giambi

Jack Cust has nothing on you

A handful of LLers went to this game

poor fuckers

Thank god I dodged that bullet
This statement is ironic due to your profession
Well, at least no false hope for this game.
I wouldn't go to a game at that stadium if you paid me.
EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!

CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!

Why didn't I just sleep in today? :(
I'm hungover as fuck and have to work in 2 hours

This was a poor choice

Glad you had that jaeger?
currently no
eww

this causes me to vomit on stranger’s lawns

I slept in today and I woke up to this shit in the 5th inning.
Hawkins throws like a girl

Yet is still providing us with difficulty

Then what the hell did Mussina throw like?
a little girl
A weak old man

Hawkins just has such a limp-wristed action

Jenny Finch in the M's bullpen

Would be an improvement

I've been advocating this for years
new uniform: just pants.
that's more modest than I expected
You want to see arthur rhodes in less?
less chance for body amour
Yeah, I really don't want to see opposing batters complaining about things other than earrings.
It can be like Star Trek

women wear less

I'm gonna invent pantyball

brb

Silva day is gonna suck
After we lose this

we will have a worse record than the giants

Even worse: had the Giants run anyone else but Zito out there for six games, they'd probably be ahead already.
This thread has ceased being amusing.
Tell us a joke then
How about a poem?

Little miss muffet sat on a tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider
He sat down beside her and said
“Hey! What’s in the bowl bitch?”

SHUT UP I HAD A FREIND WHO DIED Ini THIS THREAD
Even LL runs out of material eventually.
Please rain out.

I don’t want to watch this anymore, but I am too retarded and dedicated to just turn it off.

Just pop in your Friends DVDs.
I don't own Friends DVDs.
Alright peace out
If God really blessed America he wouldn't have sent jetliners to blow up your buildings
Bases loaded 3R double by a suddenly great Cristian Guzman: Nats 8 Bucs 5

Because at least there’s SOME good news out there.

He has 6 RBI on the day.
Kenji Johjima has five
total?
Would "today" make sense?
I just looked at Kenji's OPS

My god. .483?

His away OPS is .193.

Good god.

On the other hand, Guzman has actually been a pretty damn good SS over the last two years. His 2005 was so awful that people just stopped paying attention to him. But once he got lasik surgery and got past his injuries he’s been slapping the fuck out of the ball.

Sign him.

Trade for him.

Do whatever it takes to get some offense on this fucking team.

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

Richie Sexson is really good at defense.
"Here's Cano, he needs to enjoy himself again"

needs more marinator

he's to busy trying to build a ladder to heaven
Watch out for the planes, I hear they can be deadly.
Hope no airplanes hit that ladder
Am I totaly missing something here,

or are you guys laying into someone just because they take offense to 9/11 jokes?

....this is supposed to be bad?
No, we'd be making them anyway

there’s a warning on the main page about this.

How long ago was that?

Plus like I said, this isn’t the place to have your panties in a bunch.

Unless you're Jennie Finch
why is she wearing panties?
As long as they are in a bunch on my floor.
Thank you Ted, that was the joke.
Just had to clarify it for Marinator and AK.
I think you just gave Coach a heart attack
Well, I disagree that it has anything to do with being uptight

But whatever, you guys can do what you want.

From a battered schematic?

Or is my Elvis Costello reference too obscure?

nice swing. I hope you bat .149 all season
Julio Franco officially retired
Damn. was hoping he'd make it to 50.
I wish some of our vets would follow his example

Well done to Julio though on a fine career.

Oh, so that is how the movie "Stealth" ended.

Aren’t we getting a little too over-dramatic with the whole A.I. sacrificing itself to save the humans?

that's really stupid A.I.
OMGZ WINDOWS VISTA 2.0
One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen.

I actually watched the movie in 3 parts over a 6 month period because it was ridiculously bad. And it helped I happened to turn the TV on at the right time to accomplish this feat.

Any intelligent organism would realize humans aren't worth saving
We'd make great pets though
I don't think that's true

most of us aren’t cute and we suck at following directions.

I eagerly await the day when I can shit in the living room
DING DING DING!

Entrant #2 in my “GTE* of the week”

*Doesn’t have to actually be GTE.

Washburn is already half-hamster
STEALTH WAS AWESEOM

BEST MOVIE EVER

OH GOOD CAIRO IS STILL HITTING

WHEW

good to know the team has given up already

not like we’re coming back anyway, but still.

Regardless, even when the game is surely over I just don't think it makes sense to purposely give away outs.

Every game counts.

But if the game is surely over, who cares?
Might as well convince your players you still care.
Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
That was actually a funny anecdote
I like to think

Rivera was actually calling Michael Kay “dickhead” instead.

I love how announcers are still flabbergasted by Beltre's appeals
the YES feed just showed Beltre appeal from above
Same

I’m even more amazed that some commentators don’t even know the names of other teams’ stadiums. You’re presumably interested in baseball AND it’s your job to talk about it: do some flamin’ research!

Either the Cleveland or the Baltimore team was really bad for this, can’t remember which.

Brett Boone for secondary color commentary

Because he knows to ask Joe Buck and Tim McCarver about when it’s appropriate to bring Mariano Rivera in.

Dear Mariners

you’ve ruined my life and you can go fuck yourselves. I’m going back to sleep.

Beltre again trying to get the umps to call him out on a check swing

Glad to see the spirit is still there!

Edwar has no control

draw more walks

No, Clement knows he's gotta hit this shit

Or get forced out at second when Richie GIDPs

do something awesome young players
Tiger Woods losing badly at the Wachovia.

If he is so good, why can’t he play through injuries?

Good eye Clement.
Way to work 0-2 back to full
Pentland hasn't ironed that habit out of him yet
Only to strikeout.

:-/

well, that sucked
That was right down the fucking middle!

Why can’t anyone hit anything ever?

Dude, that was a 10 pitch at bat
And he missed the meatiest pitch. I love Clement but that's annoying.
Just setting up the Wlad! grand slam
Thought I was gonna last the whole game, but nope.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That was an AK conclusion to a James Joyce at bat
Way to go for that one, Richie.

It’s 2-0. You don’t HAVE to swing.

i'd say take

but who cares

at least there were 2 outs

although I’ve stopped keeping track of double plays we’ve hit into.

Is their a disease going around in the clubhouse that saps offensive production?
Seriously has a Mariner pitcher ever NOT swung 3-1?
Hitter
same thing
They both wear matching shirts and pants.

At least until you invent pantyball

Give me a few more minutes
Hey Richie you are bad
Wah wah wah

Big Asshole

i hope richie does something terrible with his mother
I hope Cory Lidle comes back from the dead, mistakes Richie for a skyscraper and crashes a plane into him
heee

Obviously a big RRS fan

But no way near cool enough to carry it off.

He looks like a chemist with a hat
Fuck this, I'm watching LAA host VIS.

Wait, Fox, who the fuck is VIS?

Is it too early to call up Carlos Triunfel?

Sure, it could set his development back a few years…

this game is like

listening to your ex girlfriend whine at you all day, while trying to watch american idol, and having eric clapton records playing on repeat in the background.

while nursing a hangover.

that you got because you had to kill the pain the night before from a hernia surgery.

I'd say it's more like that part in The Rock where the guy gets the ball of gas put in his mouth and then Nicolas Cage punches him
The worst part is having nick cage touching you
He got some prize ass in that movie

that’s how I know it’s a movie

I find it preferable to listening to Steven Segal's closing environmentalism lecture in On Deadly Ground
Who had more grit on that play?

Wlad or Jeter?

Jeff, you might want to consider going on a writer's strike until this team scores more than 2 runs in back-to-back games. They must also win those said games.
I don't want LL to go away :(
LL will remain, but it will strictly be a support group.
Jeff, please ignore.
Did he just say "Meatpacking"?
He sure did
I don't want to go clubbing with Michael Kay
the worst part is...

i’m gonna wake up tomorrow morning and do this to myself again. what a fucking joke.

I hate Kenji Johjima so much.
lets go kenji!

ninth inning rall—nevermind

gotta hustle

uhhh, no, it’s Johjima.

It's a gorgeous day outside

thank god

Fittingly pouring rain here.

I like it
I forgot the tag.

It went something along the lines of “Ichiro calling upon his superpowers to get Ibanez the fuck away from the ball.”

I actually prefer that there is no caption
It would still bounce off the tip of Bretts glove
just have wacky lineup day tomorrow

pick guys out of a hat and go with that.

Lou did that during the last game of 99
Dan Wilson batting cleanup

I remember that.

It looked like this

Rodriguez SS
—Bell 2B
-—-Jackson PH
Griffey CF
—Monahan LF
Blowers DH, 3B
Wilson C
Timmons RF
Ibanez 1B (HEY HE CAN DO IT)
Hunter LF, CF
Bournigal 2B, SS, 2B
Gipson 3B, SS

Heh, Brian Hunter

He tied for the second worst lead off hitter since 1957 in a Hardball Times article on the worst lead off hitters for a single season. Stolen bases are awesome.

Can we put Barry Bonds' name in the hat?
And only Barry Bonds' name in the hat
maybe we should start giving our pitchers a chance to hit

they couldn’t really do that much worse…

well this was fun
1-2 punch vs. Mister Sinker and Captain Contact: owned
1-2 cockpunch more like
