Marinergirl may never find her way into this thread

:(

I'm here!

I follow shiny linkss.

That can be good and bad
Your spelling is getting lucid again.

Drink more.

Whisksey good.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Coherence = bad
I still think Robert is my favorite poster when drunk.
pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssk
I can't wait for the day

when one of the moderators gets drunk and starts randomly banning people.

I can.

Cuas it might be me.

I think he was looking at me.
ONE MORE TIME FOR JESUS FLORES

N.B. It’s fucking “Jesus,” not “Jesse.”

I sure hope the USS Mariner *does* collide with the "Strasberg"....

ha.. ha… ha…

That is terrible

Cue the Picard gif

How about Sisko facepalm instead?

TOO BIG AHH
LATE
Does your comment show up before mine for you?

According to me, my comment is above yours…

Yes, yours was first.
349x319

Get a bigger monitor.

Ok it's not "too big", true, but it would be neater if it was the same size as the others
Sisko > Picard
I disagree.

Kirk > Pickard > Sisko > Janeway

You forgot

Archer. He’s better than Janeway, too.

Also I flip flop on Sisko/Picard all the time.

This is true.

Archer > Janeway.

Didn't we already have this debate?
Picard is a British Frenchman.

Make sense of that.

Morrissey claims he's Irish blood, English heart.

I made sense of that, why can’t we do the same of Picard?

Because France doesn't fit on the British Isle.
But Oliver Cromwell.
That song fucking rules.
I know.

I’ve been told I have good taste.

By whom?
Indie hipsters and 4Chan regulars.
I will bet you a million dollars that butthol doesn't know any hipsters.
What makes you say that?
You're 14 and live in a small town?
Thsa for articulsating that as i could not.
Rec'd
I likes athis I'm getting the points.
The only time Picard was cooler was when Picard went apeshit on the dominatrix borg.
Best wartime captain ever.
Awesome

Sisko > Picard

can their servers take it?
PINCH RUN REED PINCH RUN REED
Atta boy Wlad.
By the way in case y'all don't know.

I’m bad luck.
They always lose when i listaen.

You listen to the games?

Do you ever watch them?

I almost exclusively listen.

My so-called “broadband” is too crappy to deal with the streaming MLB.tv feed. Besides, I prefer Dave.

sometimes.

at home interenests too slow to watch needs to listen

Internests is my new favorite word.
interestwsd in the

crap i can’t even makes it make sense. but it’s in my head.s

I'm lucky enough to have my tv and computer right next to eachother

Then again it sucks not to have enough space for a computer room :(

uuuuuuuuh not where i can get ms on tv thos
I've got two computers right next to eachother.

My regular gaming desktop and my TV-computer (Regular 2.8 ghz machine with a PCI TV card installed).

TV computer?

How can you watch TV on such a small screen?

My second monitor is a Vizio 19" flatpanel LCD TV.
I'm fairly certain you're not the cause of this team's problems.
Is it chilly at Safeco tonight or something?

I’m noticing a lot of long sleeves on guys who usually don’t wear long sleeves.

It was kinda' chilly downtown around 5:00.

Can’t imagine it’s gotten warmer.

WHOA A WALK!!!
Did I tell you guys I graduated?

Guess what that means. More matinee game thread participation for me.

Graduated from what? Middle School?
Yes.
Middle School graduation is the stupidest bullshit ever.
Why?
If you don't make it through Middle School, you are a fucking moron.
Well of course, I never argued that I was beating any sort of odds or anything...

I was just putting it out there that I’ll no longer be missing all the day game threads. Woooo (?)

My problem is with the concept of "graduating" from Middle School.
Ho do yous gradusate from fourteen?

and whys the s?

I'm late.. but still.. Where the hell did you graduate from?
Roosevelt Middle School.
a guy with no control

we are boned

TAKE DAMMIT TAKE!!!
POSSIBLE YUNI WALK ALERT

NUMBER FIVE??

was he still trying to bunt? bahaha
I think I'm getting back to the point where I'm enjoying watching

the Mariners again.

It’s like my fandom is rebounding from the failure.

OMG BETANCOURT COULD WALK
Not if he has anything to say about it.
Or he cousal get a full count.
Why is Yuni bunting?
FUCK YOU YUNI!!!!!!!
MARK LORETTA GETS THAT BUNT DOWN
Yea, that worked like a charm.
Also, that was the worst at bat I've ever seen.

That was just horrible in so many ways.

What the hell Yuni.
Ares we surpriseas?
I thnk my computer sprouas s.
Hahaha Betancourt looks totally inept

I can’t believe he would actually do that…

God this team sucks.
But we know itssucks.

So that’s a deep question of ifasd we suck because we listen to this crap.
with the 643 POOP>

Yup.

Fitting.

Tippifies.

Yuni-BOMB

In the Star Trek Nemesis sense, not the explosive type.

Is Star Trek XI going to be even worse?

I fear it could be.

I hope not.

After watching Cloverfield, I am slightly encouraged, as opposed to discouraged.

Cloverfield was awesome, imo
Wrong.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG.

Stop being lame.
That movie was just a generic shaky-cam horror film.

Nothing special about it.

YouTuber.
It was generic and bland.

Nothing “awesome” about it.

Special effects?

Not generic and bland, no way.

Special Effects do not make a horror film.

Go watch Ringu sometime. That movie scared the living shit out of me.

Personally, didn't really watch the film to be scared.
I don't see it as a horror film

I see it as a sci-fi thriller. For this, special effects are important, as they were in Cloverfield (in my opinion).

Yeah,

For horror, Cloverfield is a Yunitastic Failure.

Even as a sci-fi thriller I find it to be somewhat "Meh"
Something about it

made me feel like I was right there in the middle of all the action with the characters. It really got me into it. That’s what made me like it so much, no other movie felt that realistic as this one. It’s certainly not a great movie or anything, but I really enjoyed seeing it.

Ok I actually have never seen any other "shaky-cam horror films"

So I can’t say much for that.

I have to admit that the special effects were really cool, nothing generic about that, far from it.

Good piece of entertainment.

Lots of cryptic stuff hidden. Good storytelling.
Awesome might be overkill, but it was good at generating hype and fun.

That movie was very entertaining.

As far as entertainment goes, it ranks above a lot of good movies for me, especially in a theater. It felt like a thrill ride rather than just a movie.

I liked it too

but I’m wierd

It's okay to like Cloverfield. No need to degrade yourself... lol
I'm optimistic. But scared.

Kind of like this season, back in spring training.

No wonder he never walks, he doesn't distinguish between ball and strike...
Worst. Inning. Ever.
More failure

Beer meet gullet

whoooo

at least the world didn’t end

I laugh at Yuni's offensive futility.
STRASBURG!
You know a month ago I didn't really believe this team could wind up with the worst record

Now it seems that nothing else would be more fitting.

If we don't go into "future building" mode soon, we may easily lose our spot

I imagine that other loser teams will be more eager to play for the future than we are, which would help them win lose.

I wouldn't be so sure about that

I think it would help us if Vidro, Sexson, and Wlad were still starting over the younger candidates.

I don't think you can get much younger than Wlad.
Wow, two on with nobody out and nobody scored!

LET’S GO NATS!
LET’S GO STRASBURG!

I am now officially rooting for a sweep.
RHODES SIGHTING!!

Rec'd
You have no idea what the picture is, do you?
A Fender Rhodes!
I dos! I do!

but please dosn’t make me type it outs.

Never leave us.
Name every Mariner position player currently on the roster
oh dear god.

please pelive me that i rtruly am a mariners fan but to have to type out those names and make them mseake sense right s now oulw really not work so mcuhch for me.

Well that worked out.

show off. trys tlast mnae when drinks the whiskey.
We are at critical drunkpost levels.
You aren't blasted so it doesn't count
Who said I wasn't?

I’m just mixing drinks at home.

Mixed drinks don't count here at LL

It’s straight petroleum or nothing

Well it's 3 parts rum, 1 part coke at this stage.
OK you get a pass

If you were using Pepsi I would give you an incomplete

They still sell that?
onlsy a pass for using mesxcian coke.s
WTF hahhaha
MExicain cokes.

colas. sorys. I’m supporse do say colas.

Are those conservative illegal immigrant drugheads?

ZOMG no politics

It was hilarious in a different way

“Coke” as in the white powdery stuff that Nicole Richie likes.

SOmeone i think thingray says i can't use coke.
That would be beneficial to your health

Snorting pixie sticks are my vice

i'MS crap sorry I'm at home too.

but not misx ing drinks.

Or as I like to refer to them as:

Great, meh, blah, suck, shit, shittier, meh, meh+, crap, meh, YAY, :(, boo

We need a pitcher named Farfisa.
Oh goods. It's Rhodes.
This has been a fine Game Thread of sorts.
My expectations were low, but this thread has been a wonderful surprise.

Thank you, NOLAmarinergirl.

But she's using performance enhancing Whiskey.
bushmisls!
Excellent choice.

Good Irish Whiskey.

Yes they tattooed its aupon me.
Whiskey does anything but enhance performance.
Not fors girls1
I laughed.
Rec'd.
I wish you could rec posts twice.
Pleas don't try i mights get negative resc like they were getitng before.
I'm fairly certain you're safe.
Yasy I like being a girls.
This is one of the best gamethreads ever.
I highly disagree.
I got to go to the meetup AND be here for this.

I WIN!!!

How was the meetup?
Did anyone ask Fontaine about the Fields pick?

And did he respond?

Fun.

Stone was on point, Fontaine was hilarious and informative. I had a headache and was stressed out about getting a show booked, so I was feeling especially social, but it was still a good time.

I wish I could have been there.

Instead I made $800 on a studio recording gig. Oh well.

I prefer your option.
It does for posting.

It’s easy to impress Brian that way.

Ugh

What about me?

The Nationals have so many random players I've never heard of
We can't even pick a guy off correctly.
I think this is the second or third time Sexson has botched a pickoff.
Oh fuck you Sexson.
What was that? Are you kidding?
At least the "fans" are yelling at him!
At least Sexson is still good at defense.

Oh wait, he never was to begin with. Awesome!

Meanwhile, this game has opened mouth, inserted teabags
heys I just sayw that.
Hey, time for another Bill Bavasi "Accountability" speech.
RICHIE SEXSON I LOVES YOU

I’m just as drunk as NOLAmarinergirl at this point, it’s just that my typing skills, spelling & grammar never diminish in these situations.

HEY>

Plasy nice.

No brag, just fact.
I read this as "Palsy nice"

And I was thinking that was mean.

I admire a drunk one who feigns away from drunken posting.
You are painfully misusing the verb "feign"
Seriously, plz ask me how to use it properly & I shall educate.
I'll bite.

How do you use it properly…(only testing your drunkness)

"feign" is, in modern English usage, pretty much an exact analogue of "fake"

So if I “feign” illness I “fake” illness. It has no other proper use in modern English save as a synonym for “fake.” NO. OTHER. PROPER. USE.

No way you're drunk.
Dude, I'm Johns Hopkins/UChicago pedigree

This is what we talk about when we get drunk. It’s really sad.

Okay, I'll buy that, but only because I'm roughly the same pedigree / conversationalist.
You have no idea how lovingly I typed out each individual quotation mark in the post two tiers up

It gets really hard for me at this point…

I have a general idea.

Though at this point I’m mostly feigning interest in this team / thread

Yeah he winds.

My puget sound dgeree does not stand up. and i’m only a bit into the tulane degree.

Yeah I don't think classiness of university has any bearing on how you talk when you're drunk
Also note it is an exclusively active verb, not a transitive one

So that the subject of a sentence must actively be “feigning” something. There’s no such thing as a “feigner,” on the other hand (this would be passive).

I can't wait for the end of this year's uninspiring sports montage.
Saysa the one who is years away from the drinskas.
What?
You can'trs drink.
Correct, but that had to do with this how...?
Don't question the drunk girl.
Especially if they are red headed, because they tend to get violent.

I have a scar to prove it.

...Marty Crandall?? Is that you??
NOt anymores the red heads.

A little reads. but nots so much.

I mean natural red heads.
Ohhhhhhhhhh. Well still it's a bit natural. just covere.d
A red head dying her hair?

If I could negative rec you I would.

It's boring reds strawberries.

I make it dark adn red.

Nononononononono

Redheads should not dye their hair.

Yeah, I was way disappointed when Donna from That 70s show did.
Exactly.

She went from crazy hot to meh.

Buts Im better nows!
Pics or it didn't...

Wait that doesn’t really work here does it….?

Pish you could see it ifs you weres smart.
I'm gonna say subthread closed.
I never thought she was crazy hot by any means.

But she went from Oooo to Ehhh.

fines don't listen.
Imasdes it BETTER thous.
sorrsy it did not the threasd whent togethers. i appol=ozgize.
It's all good.

I just thought it was a strange reply-to.

Oh. My. Lord.
LET'S GO GUZMAN

clap-clap-clapclapclap

SCORE RUNS YOU IDIOTS
Holy shit fuck this mothergoddamn POS team

I hate this god damn team. It sucks so god damn bad. It is horrible. It is like burning fire down your throat. It is like gonorrhea in your eyes. It is PAINFUL. Fuck everyone on this damn team.

Except Beltre.

<3 Beltre.
He needs to leave so I can let the full force of my hate decend on the entire team at once
Oh come now, you don't really mean that.
I am angry.

Don’t tell me how to feel.

Poor Adrian doesn't deserve your anger, you know that.
I'm sick of teh ugly blonde whore that plugs Yahoo sports.
Tell us how you really feel
Keep Watching.
[Insert "If Bobby Ayala were pitching..." joke here.]
I had something ready to go

and you ruined it

If Bobby Ayala were pitching...

he would go 1-2-3 on 5 pitches.

You mean back to back to back
Even Bobby could pitch a scoreless eighth here.
STOP POSTING YOU DIDIOTS.

Syas jeff.

no seriousy i can’t gkeep up.

Hey look it's fat piece of shit batting third in our horrible lineup

Let’s all pretend that he’s a good DH

Are they booing Raul...?

Or are they Rauuuul-ing?
I can’t tell.

They're saying MOOOOOOOOOVERS
They're saying BOOOOOOOOOOO-vasi.
D- for effort, F for effectiveness.
Wasn't it Phildopip's sig or something a while ago?
Off-topic:

Does anyone else here listen to the Helio Sequence?

A little...

But if I’m gonna listen to a Sub Pop band from Portland it’s always gonna be The Thermals.

Or the Shins.

But I love the Thermals just as much. The Body, the Blood, the Machine is my desktop background.

One of the best albums of the decade. Love it.
You know what else is up there?

There’s Nothing Wrong with Love – Built to Spill.

I'm not big on Built to Spill...of course the one time I actually saw them live was following The Hives...

No band should have to follow The Hives. NONE. It’s just not fair.

How about Third Eye Blind's first album?

Oooo and Weezer’s first?

Umm...we're no longer in the 90s
Ohhhh yes you're right.

For some reason I moved onto the decade = 90s. My bad.

he onlys has two decadse to deal with.
So do I...but there's some serious tune-age in there.
Weezers first came out the years you rewer born.
Plus Pinkerton is better than Blue, as far as Weezer goes.

But that’s like saying a million dollars is better than $999,000.

I disagree

But I would merely reverse your above analogy, and call it good.

it actuslay is considered elistis to love poinkerton.
It is? Why?

Tired of Sex is the bomb.

Thas' why. cause it's all aobuts the sex.
... either that or Rivers Cuomo was abstinent.
he was an idsot. he gave ups sex and wroite all about sex.
Well it's got better lyrics...and fuzzier guitar...those equal win.
The Blue Album is really good.

Pinkerton is one of the top five albums of the 90’s.

Almosts as geeky soundsa = mute math.
Not metal enough.
I think you mean "not talented enough."
How can you say the Helio Sequence is not talented enough.
I'm a self-admitted music elitist.
You're not an elitist when you crop out terrible music and set aside great music.
Aren't yous a mucisian/
Jazz saxophonist, orchestral bassoonist, yes.

I also double on keys and trumpet.

hences the elitistnist.
Watch this:

Billy Joel is perhaps the greatest pop/rock songwriter of the last 30 years.

thanks fors making me all sad.

bj was here for jazz fest and it poured and i didnots dget to see him. now i’m sad again.

Good God I caught him live when he rolled into Seattle a few months ago.

He is a brilliant stage performer.

Brian Wilson says hi.
Brian Wilson has nothing on Billy Joel.
Did Billy Joel write God Only Knows?
i'm lying in bed just lyke brian wilason did.
Did Brian Wilson write "Scenes from an Italian Restaraunt"

“Ballad of Billy the Kid”
“Piano Man”
“And So it Goes”
“Stiletto”
and the entire fucking 52nd Street album?

There's no way that you can say all of those aforementioned titles, even Piano Man

could possibly > Pet Sounds.

actually they most defintelyu can.
I can and I will

All of those songs > Pet Sounds

This is insanity.
This is wrong on so many levels.
Billy Joel is a far superior songwriter.
I think we may just have to agree to disagree.
It probably is best if we do that.
You are beginning to endear yourself to me, young man.
If I say Jesse Lacey and Rivers Cuomo (if I ignore the past two albums) does that make me emo?
jesse lacey wins certain ponts.
prosbs more than rivers. rivers = geeks.
And "Make Believe" Rivers = suck.
Agreed.
thost you were gone.
Their new album is decidedly less terrible, but it's SOOOO juvenile.

FUCK THAT SOUNDS ELITIST…but any Weezer fan knows what i’m talking about. Lame lyrics, lame rhymes.

Calling crap crap isn't elitist.
ths' so obvious i did nots even need sto say.
That's actually really cool Brian.
What's with all these smiling douchebags in this Banner Bank commercial

Are they Mariners fans? If they are, they have nothing to smile about.

On a side note, the Nationals promo commercials suck
i seriously have no idea why the fuck i'm wasting my time watching this team suck.

but i enjoy this thread.

I get to point sometimes where I don't actually watch the game, just the thread.
Perhaps one of the better threads that doesn't contain any Jeff/Graham/Matthew.
How many of those are there? Lol.
We're the best baseball team in Washington.

Right?

only when the road team doesn't make it here.
Please do not use that phrase.
i just noticed this.

allows for spectacular randomness, eh?

So are we Jesus Flores' bitch now, or what?
Many teams have said that about Flores.

I can’t help but point out again how fucking awesome Jesus Flores is. So wonderful.

No. We're every-other-MLB-team's bitch now.
andrewgolfsalot? more like andrewdoesntusethereplybuttonalot
Oh I missed it once.

Pshaw.

WELL PLAYED IBANEZ. WELL PLAYED, MY FRIEND.
Can't fault him much there
I'm happy to blame every hit into LF on Ibanez.
It's just easier to do things that way.
Oh yeah? Watch me.

It’s Ibanez’ fault that gas prices are so high.

Oh snap.

You’re rather angry today, aren’t you?

Ibanez made me this way.
He watches this one...

Yes, hess so goods at the watshing.

Hey look, Willie Harris! It's the Nats' Willie Ballgame!
That was quite the route he took there.
So we're about to take the second game of this "preview"

Of the World Series of Strasburg. This is good.

Tiebreaker is ours and you can't have it!
We don't have the tiebreaker against the Nationals

The hell are you talking about

We need the Royals to catch fire.

They’re dangerously struggling.. we play them in a few weeks. That could be a huge series.

They are contenders, that's true.
C'mon Jesus, make the M's your bitch once more.
This is bullshit
YEAH WALK FLORES DON'T LET HIM HURT US. GOOD IDEA MR. FRISBEE

LARGER

(Jeff’s not here)

Took it straight it from Google images...

Too lazy to resize… :(

Search for extra large.
add a width=250 between img and src in the link

Gooood....Goooood!
Man, Luke Skywalker was such a pussy at the end.

Just chop the dude’s limbs off. He’s still alive. You don’t go to the dark side if you don’t kill him.

Dammit, I will singlehandedly teach Lookout Landing to appreciate Jesus Flores before this season is over.

He’s 23, he has a great arm, he works well with pitchers, he bats well, and he knows how to take a walk. AND HE’S 23.

JE-SUS FLOR-ES

clap clap clapclapclap

That's more like it, my friend.
I'm on board.

I own a Nationals hat, I might as well like someone on the team that’s not made of glass.

There is a lot of suck on the field.

Makes for tough pitch control.

Yeah, you can't exactly rely on your D to bail you out.
Yeah I'm only sticking around for Beltre's next AB.
whats about for my fanpost?
Thought you weren't going to make one?
tis in progress.

but tis to harrd to keep up twith the thread.

Oh okay, I'll stick around for that.
DAMN YOU IBANEZES! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELLLLLLLLLL!
AWESOMENESS REIGNS SUPREME.
You know what's so funny? I've watched the Nats suck and struggle against so many teams this season...

...and yet they seem to be effortlessly scoring against the Mariners. Such a sad statement about our team (the M’s in this case).

I'm thinking Jon Rauch can get three outs here.
DAMMIT WHERE IS MY DODGE CHICK

MISLEADING ARROW

Does… not… click!

it would not go away when i capped it.
The arrow is pointing to the object of his infatuation
PhilKen needs to get out more
that is undeniable fact.
K guys it's been a fun one.

Brian, we’ll continue this later. Night my friends.

There's nothing to continue.

Billy Joel > Brian Wilson.

cept brian wilson was larger than billy

i thins.

thin ks.
nice save
its sorta made sense the first way.
There's no way you can be making this argument with a straight face.
I own every last Billy Joel album.

I am very serious.

You and LFoJL are really duking it out for that gayest board member alive award huh?
Would it make you feel better if I said I like Billy Joel for my usual elitist music reasons?

1) Non-formulaic chord progressions
2) Non-standard instrumentation
3) Non-standard song layouts

I was just busting your balls

I actually like a lot of his stuff too.

That's cool.

Most people really do question my sexuality when I bring up that little “I own every Billy Joel album ever released (including the lesser known Billy Joel piano concerto album)”

Those people are dumb.

(Assuming they’re serious.)

Well one of them is that Giants fan I keep telling you about...
Don't feel too bad

I own almost everything he’s done in some format and completely agree with that, I just wanted to make you feel bad because I am both a little drunk and naturally a bit of a dick.

I imagine many guys do own a Billy Joel album of some sort.

They’re just too afraid to admit it.

Billy Joel is fine.

He’s just not completely revolutionary.

favorite album - Storm Front
Storm Front is good

52nd Street is better.

Billy Joel is sub-fine. He is actually sub-mediocre.

Which is to say, a few good songs here and there (my pick: “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant”), plus a lot of schmaltz and a godawful tendency for ballads with nothing to redeem themselves. He’s Paul McCartney without the insane talent…and you can’t get away with the crap that McCartney does unless you have McCartney-level musical genius.

This approach by Beltre is encouraging.
Strikeouts =/= encouraging.
Strasburg, baby.
Would losing tomorrow be the lowest point in Mariner history?

Could be

You weren't around for much of the eighties, were you?
Nope

Fan since ‘94

noooooooooooooooooob.
there were no expectations then.

i was born in 85, so i could not know.

Wosw am I thie oldest here?

I think you've been added to LL's "Do Not Trade" list of poster.

Good work.

Ithought i was alreadys

since I am a girl. but better to know it’s for my talent.

You are valuable. In fact,

We could possible trade you to the Orioles blog for a young talented blog-ready poster, a solid specialist relief poster, and three solid prospects.

i'm worth that many peoples?

wait onlys in ms language. i gotscha.

Just try not to show signs of your "injury potential" (alcoholism)

before we trade you.

Most girl just DFA themselves after a while
Nots if y'all are nice enoughts.
Have you met Corco?
whys bdo bepole keep asking that?
You'll see.

You’ll see.

It's not a matter of nice

More like a matter of not being sexist and disgusting

true. i kinds like the snarky actuallys.
I've gotta be on the Seek to Trade list.
I think I'm hovering on the DFA candidate list.
Yea, I'm probably more along those lines

I can’t imagine I’d bring much more than ten maple bats in return.

I might fetch a couple of SeattlePI blog rejects.

Jeff must rue the day he pulled me off of those waiver wires.

I was sent here by a Rockies fan.

Damn me asking for “logical, intelligent discussion”

heee hee i'm valuagel. i earn tropheis.
What do those trophies say?
most valuagabel woman.
Is it me or is the nostalgia wearing off?
it kinda is for me too cause thise whiskey is too.
And it shows in the level of coherency.
I'm soarry, I do not have a degree form an ivy league or almost ivy league.
Nowhere near what I meant.
I'm coheerent completely but the fingers thhave a mind of their owns.
dohnt yoiu sti;l lovue me aandrwew?
Always have, always will.

You’re like a brother to me.

I got DFA'd when I posted something about BABIP.

Jeff grabbed me in hopes that my House% would translate into an improved overall LL Awesome%

Too much false hope!
But it's good that the Mariners lost, right? Strasburg?

I am cheered up.

John Rauch has stolen Putz's mojo.
Yeah okay time to get hammered
si pleas join me.
I think you're way ahead of me.

Give me time to catch up

I stopeeped for awhyile.

tongue feels funney.

if you can feel your tongue you need to start drinking again

those are the ruels

you speled it rong.
That was a test to see how drunk you are.

Answer: Not enough

Apparenlty for somes people too drunk and not ammusing.
Yeah, well, the game thread is kind of over now.

Too bad I’m still pissed off at Raul Ibanez

):< sad i need peoplse to talk to.
From the Nationals broadcasters re the Mariners being disappointing

Guess it goes to prove the old credo that the only thing that is guaranteed to look pretty on paper and in person is puppies

Enough about Nikki Z, though
What are they talking about?

Bedard is hurt again? Jesus

It's a Strasburg Christmas Miracle yay.

and NICOLE Z!

NIKKI Z's boobs too!
Nicole's gonna tell us how the kids are doing

gets hand lotion

oh yeah, that's me, i'm righgst on board twith y'all.
Are you butthol's sister?

He's from Idaho 'nuff said
good points thouse idahoians are mean.

and they trasp me at rest eareas and don’t let me leave.

Ah so you HAVE met Corco
he's from idahos?

or he just raps girls in rest areas ands not let them leaves/

Deep Thoughts, by Corco Handey

When I was a young man, my grandfather liked to pass on little bits of wisdom over a cup of cocoa or a quiet afternoon fishing. His favorite life lesson still sticks clear in my memory:

“Corco, just because someone’s pissing on you, it doesn’t mean you’re in a restroom.”

Nothing has ever been more true.

and he probably smells like a bag of potatoes
SHES ON
I still think her face is terrifyingly huge
the rest of her makes up for it

it is an oddly shaped face

Seriously though who cares about her face?

I wouldn’t be talking to her while looking at her face, that’s for damn sure.

Reminds me of Giada De Laurentiis

By the way, is it just me or is she showing cleavage like all the time?

best asset keep it out
what cleaveage shes a stick insect.
Her ampleness in the aforementioned area is not negligible

But yes, her body is rather disproportionately small compared to her head.

Giadia is way hotter.
There's a thread with a drunk girl in it but no Corco?

This does not compute.

sierously, have not run into this guy.
I hope you're sober when you meet him.
why so i can win at a bastllte of wits/
butthol might win at a battle of wits with Corco
I find Corco to be surprisingly lucid when he chooses to be.
Nobody thought it could be done.

Steve Steve Steve Steve…STEVE! Seriously, if we lose tomorrow, what are our chances of getting that first pick? They gotta be pretty solid, right? Also, assuming it happens, how embarassing will getting swept by the Nats be? Seriously, I would think the guy who put this team together would have to change his name, move to Greece, and live out his days swilling ouzo and sleeping with hookers while crying. Sorry, Bill, but if it’s any consolation, I hear Athens is nice.

Not only would we be getting swept by the Nats

We’d be getting swept by the Nats AAA team pretty much. That’s a level of embarassment that surpasses anything that’s happened to us this season so far.

Not just us and not just this season

No Ryan Zimm. No Nick Johnson. And still, we lost the first two. Man oh man, that is just unpleasant.

Yeah

They’re missing like 7 starters, we’re playing their AAA team pretty much, and we’re getting our asses kicked. It’s fucking pathetic.

Oh the hilarity that ensues when most of the regulars are gone and the game is shit...

...sometimes…

...ok, rarely…

Notes from the game

What a totally frustrating game all over the place. SafeCo Fans suck ass. Bedard was striking out quite a few people, and I was the only one trying to get the claps going. I failed miserably several times and just quit.

I heckled Vidro several times. The first time I just shouted "retire". The second time I yelled "BATTING THIRD, YOUR DESIGNATED SUPPOSED HITTER, JOSE VIDRO"… then he hit the home run. A fan a few seats down looked at me, then yelled "HEY RAUL, YOU SUCK TOO!". I guess he figured calling someone out was beneficial.

Beltre’s bomb was known immediately by the fans. Everything about that was cool.

The fans pathetically tried to start the wave while the game was tied 2-2. An inning after the Batista home run, nobody was interested in the game anymore and the thing was in full effect.

John McLaren is ridiculously stupid. Not that I wanted Arthur to remain in there or anything, but pulling him after Sexson screwed up a pickoff move is pretty dumb. He’d already gotten two outs and had thrown a ball to the next batter. Instead of letting him finish the inning, here comes Sean Green for more arm straining work. Is Roy Corcoran dead?

Sexson was murdered by the fanbase. They weren’t really on him hard until the strikeout in the 6th. After that, they were on him for everything. They booed him during the botched pickoff move. They booed him when he was throwing the ball around the infield inbetween innings. Etc. He’s the most hated man in SafeCo.

I don’t know how many times I screamed for Jeremy Reed to pinch hit. Lot of good it did me.

Did Yuni’s defensive play look as cool on TV as it did in person? Did Yuni’s complete failure of a sac bunt attempt look as bad on TV as it did in person?

Sucks having to watch a loss, but this wasn’t even an entertaining loss aside from King Awesome going yard.

Bavasi is the problem and you know it.

Nice comments, TIF. The Sexson booing isn’t surprising, but only the entire Baseball Nation could have predicted his decreasing abilities.

Then again, can Bavasi accurately predict anything?
