If I was toolish

I’d say “shotgun”

This thread isn't as much fun as the last one
New "waste time at work" subthread time!
A friend of mine works at a Walgreens

He was behind the photo counter reading Harry Potter, when a customer came up to get some film developed. She said something to him, and he snapped his head up and yelled, “What the hell do you want?”.

He apologized shortly thereafter, but this story still pleased me a great deal to hear.

An asian ginger just walked in
Make faces
Too many mexicans
That reminds me of a joke I made up

I’ll instant message you.

I don't want to be left out!
A secret Mod thread would work perfectly here
If you were a mod, yeah, it would.
Someone needs to photoshop Robert's head onto Quadrophenia-era Pete Townshend's bdy,
Mexicans who don't understand the word deposit
You work at Issaquah Radio Shack, right?
yep
Awesome, I thought I recognized you from pictures you had posted on here.
ruh roh
Lol, it's fine.

I was with my dad asking about satellite TV earlier and saw you. You were spending most of the time typing away on LL while you had someone else help us. Now I get to say I “met’ an actual LL celebrity. :p

I was drunk last night if it makes the experince any cooler
Tonight.
If you come back I'll let you shack my hand
Gross. Use protection at least.
I'm flattered.
I'm going to go to that store one day and just be an unruly customer

Make you reach for high up things and fiddle with your computer

I'm going to stare at your flat chest
Robert's a celebrity?
Tallest of the gnomes.
The affectionately call me Skyscraper
Rabin just walked.
Good, his OF defense looked alright.

But lets move him to 1b anyways.

Uhhhh

If you want to call it work

Finally

my comp was getting REALLY slow.

4 straight pinch hitters for the Rays win.

Awesome. I know that managers are overrated, but I wonder what it’s like to have a good one…

Corco in?

Uh oh.

And the race for Stras is back on!
They brought him in so he could lead off bunt.
How will I ever know about 2+7?
(Age/2)+7

Is the lower bound for date-ability.

I am not longer allowed to hin on 17 year olds. >:`(
Wow.. "n" is nowhere NEAR "t" way to go!
I was hoping no one would notice.
I am

for another couple years. Oh the greatness of having siblings sti

Of having siblings still in high school
XKCD

70/2+7= 42

It’s not infallible.

Works for golddiggers.
The last panel strikes too close to home.
But it's still hilarious
You should see the graphs I've made today!

I wish this was a joke.

Graphing anything interesting?
How much he misses Jeff
Okay, I laughed
That's not interesting to graph. It just holds constant at infinity.
different levels of infinity
You made him sleep on the coach

Trouble in paradise?

You don't understand how awesome my couch is.
Your floor was surprisingly suitable
I suppose I should tell you that I threw up on that spot of my floor once.
Now your just being spiteful
...

Noone should be subjected to sleeping on Coach

There a has to be a girl-Coach equivalent
Ha. didn't even notice that typo.

Good one stupid.

The odds of me getting laid tonight.

Turns out it’s a step function in relation to how much I drink.

I’ll let the smarter people in the room figure out the joke here.

This is why you're not getting laid.
So the existense of the graph precludes non-zero values within the graph?

Neat!

existence*
I have no idea what this means but I'm going to assume it's hilarious.
I thought so

Then again I’m also a gigantic dork.

You make it sound like it's the only reason.
Step away from the computer every once in awhile.
But she loves me!
And she always puts out.
she does make me feel alright

every waking hour

I stand corrected.

Enjoy your steamy nights with her.

I feel stupid for having a boy comuter.
I cant mock your typos :(
Swing and a miss.
With the music discussion earlier I would have sworn somebody

would have got this. Damn. Now I just look creepy.

I'm sure, but she is unable to satisfy your every need.
That may be true now,

but I just ordered more RAM!

Your hard drive is to small for it t o work long term
Teehee

That made me think of one of the greatest verbal interactions I was ever apart of.

Scene: Eric’s 7th grade math class. Eric is making fun of a kid who’s a super nerd.

ERIC: Hey Alex, I bet I could turn your floppy disk into a hard drive.
ALEX: Well sure. That isn’t very difficult.

Men should never use the phrase "Tee-Hee"

Ever

Wrong.

It’s endearing.

Agreed and rec'd
And the NSFW chainsaw
You need a bigger megabyte.
Doesn't a step function require steps?

Where some values are greater than null?

That's the best part about dating someone.

Before, it was impossible for me to hook up when not completely trashed.

Bloggers get tons of girls, what are you talking about?

snicker

I'm more of an (Age/3)+9 kind of guy myself.
30 year old and 19 year old?
Maybe an addendum...

If “Age”
Else, “not ok”

No way I'm dating 19 year olds.
I maintain that they must be able to legally drink.
Dating is too big of a pain if they can't
Exactly.

I have standards.

Get a fake ID.
Or buy the booze ahead of time.
19 year olds can't hold their booze.

And if they can, they’re probably going to end up with a drinking problem.

Thats a problem that effects people of all ages
totally
I agree.
I'm convinced people spike my first beer with everclear
Two beers and I'm gone.
Any chance we can get another drunkpost out of you?
Yes!!!

Second that idea

So when you say "Yes, I even drink beer."

You really mean “Yes, I sip on a glass of Bud Lite over a couple of hours.” ?

Piss off.

Bud Light IS piss.

Haha, burn, and rec'd.
At least you get your money's worth.

I feel sorry for those people who can drink 20 beers, because I’d imagined 4 beers doesnt’ do much.

True, I like my personal tolerance.

If I pretty much drink what I want, I get a good buzz and keep it going.

At least we can take pride in being outdrunk by girls smaller than us.
We can take pride in that?

Sweet.

I recently discovered how awesome this can be
Except when they keep force feeding you alcohol

because, let’s face it, you can’t say know and you end up vomiting every half an hour instead of sleeping it off

I also do a really good "way too drunk" impersonation
That was an impersonation?
the other night it was
You're only an alcoholic when you start going to meetings

Until then, your just a fun person to be around

Thats what people on a website tell me.
Once you're over 21 (in the US), nobody under the age of 21 counts as a real person.
Interesting... so you're interested in dating

not-real-people?

They are things, not people
I remember as a teenager thinking that over-21 music

shows were a crock of shit.

Now I can’t stand being at a concert with anyone not in their 20s.

I'm actually a big fan of the occasional all-ages show.

They’re a blast to play.

What if all his friends are over 21
Even worse.
But what if he has a kickin basement
Yay

Im currently 21.

So I guess I can have both? Im currently with a 23 year old hot chick. : )

I'm just gonna go disappear now
You're honorary 21.
Poor Brett
Brett baiting works during road games too?
I am slightly worried why he isnt in this thread...
I like being imaginary

I’m above the law

I figured you did when you didn't go jumping on Nola's suitors
They were all ancient.
Ha, cradle robber
Damn you statheads

taking the human element out of dating.

Does this mean six year olds

can date 10 year olds?

Yes, it does.
Actually, it means 6 year olds can ONLY date people over the age of 10.
More specific

but my original point still stands.

Only in Utah
I think you mean Texas.
Different for girls I'm guessing...

Probably *2 – 10?

My paper isn't getting done

Anyone up for writing 10 pages on resistant behavior and children?

What about resistant behavior and children?
I'm a Lit Major who works for a set cookie to page ratio
I've got some Chips Ahoy
Birth control.
It didn't reply.
It's better this way.
What about birth control?
zomg no politics
Shift key!

HA-gotcha

[facepalm.jpeg]
Assume everything is sarcastic and work back from there.
I was joking

God damn even my sarcasm doesn’t work here

Text + Sarcasm = Does Not Compute

Unless it is blatantly obvious.

It wasn’t your fault this time. I thought it was obvious.

I cannot see the AT&T Bill Curtiss commercial

without thinking of the South Park board game.

Clement PH?

I thought they brought Corcoran in to try to bunt single.

Please hit a HR Jeffy..
Don't swing at that, Jeff
We fucking own the Braves!
Clement needs to be sent down.
I thought when he was promoted it was promised

that he’d get the bulk of the time at C?

Riggly has other plans, obviously...

=/

Ichiro is a stud

too bad he has Cairo hitting behind him

I'm surprised they didn't intentionally walk Ichiro to lead off the game.
What the hell

That dog can’t buy a house by barking into a phone.

This made me laugh more than it should have.
Hey we're winning!
You fucked it all up!
So Jeff Francouer isn't as good as was thought.
Francouer loves Seth Green, haha
Seth Green is a dick
Raul Ibanez

Dynamite LF.

This is kind of funny

Super Tecmo Bowl

That entire commercial is way too 80s for me
Two years late.
Piss off

I’m bored

I get ban-happy when I'm bored.
Some of us enjoy bored Matthew.
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here.
Seems pretty straight forward.
No, to him I was saying piss off.
I find old shit on youtube when I'm bored
For a laugh, watch old videos of Shinjo, he was awesome.
Hahaha

I wonder how those jocks were able to come together and complete that video? This includes getting through the editing process and keeping all of those guys on the same page when filming.

Miracles happen every day.

Recommended'd!
Excellent
Shows how slow he is and captures a wonky route.

Welcome to the sidebar.

Go banana!
Where does this come from?

Oh...

Is this Ralph’s trademark?

Smack for not knowing classic Simpsons.
That was a later episode I believe

( and by later I mean that choose to believe that The Simpsons ended after s10).

Pretty sure it wasn't.

Because I remember it and I haven’t watched the Simpsons in over a decade.

Season Five
Vindication!
Wrong!
Yeah

you’re right
here is the clip, though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjCkLjaAt6k

Haha

I do remember seeing that episode, though.

Season 5 Episode 11

Suck it biatch

That's what got me too

Apparently this isn’t what production code 5f11 means.

Season 9.
No way

That was from one earlier seasons, the lord of the flies episode.

one of*

Where they were going to do the Model U.N., I’d say season 6

Ouch!

I don’t remember things very well.

And I never was an avid watcher of the Simpsons. I get bored of cartoon shows rather quickly, even if they are hilarious.

I liked the subtle play on words

banana = fuility, a race that can not be won
banana= hilariously bad route

SIT DOWN DICKHEAD
Sean Green is awesome
wOooooooooo Green.
SIT DOWN ASSWIPE!
That's the best way to do it
OH SHIT TITS IS CLOSING
Doesn't he start tomorrow?
NO NO NO TITS IS CLOSING
Oh, nice

Who would you rather have pitch, Ballgame or Aaron Miles

Ichiro
Well played sir
That was just said in Knocked Up

Gabe Ruth.

I swear, Ichiro could be good at whatever he tried.

If he wanted to be good at soccer, he’d be on their national team. If he wanted to be good at basketball, he might not be in the NBA but he’d be as good as Yuta Tabuse. If he wanted to do the Marathon, he’d be as good as that dude in the 70’s who won the Fukuoka like 5x and drank too much beer.

He'd be an amazing philosopher
NASCAR?

Somebody might complain again about how “them sons a’ bitches bombed Pearl Harbor, don’t you forget that!”

Miles has more homeruns power.

As he proved today.
Against the Red Sox.

I like Jeremy Reed
I like him a hell of a lot more than WFB.
Same, I've liked him since 2006

One of the few Mariners I really like.

I'd really like to see him become at least mildly productive
Reed for MVP
Richie, upping his trade value

by getting 2 bbs.

So here's a test for Riggleman.

Two outs, eighth inning, Richie Sexson is at first. Do you

A) Leave Sexson in
B) Pinch run with Bloomquist
C) Hit and run

There is one correct answer.

Hit and Run is the right answer.
D) use Bloomquist to play LF.
E) Double Switch and have Richie pitch and Bloomquist play first
gif-able Sexson fall.
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Richie.

LOL GIF GIF GIF
Awesome.

You entertain me Richie.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA
i amlost pissed myself
So I guess it's good because we scored.
THANK YOU BETANCOURT

for making RICHIE do the HILARIOUS SLIDE!!! that was definitely gifable

Richie sure is a pussy

Imagine the catcher is Kason Gabbard, dumbass.

MLB.tv just chose a perfect time to start skipping.
It's gonna be so hilarious when Tits blows this.
This subthread is rife with possible innuendos.
Random question

In 1992, was it Bonds’ crappy throw that allowed Sid Bream scored the winning run for the Braves?

partially
The single had something to do with it too.
and there being two outs
Ok....reframe

In 1992, did Bonds make a crappy throw when Sid Bream scored the winning run for the Braves?

I remember it that way.
No, it was those kids on the grassy gnoll (sp?).
gnome
No, I believe it's knoll
there we go

that looks right

Talk to Me is an amazing movie

at least the first 48 minutes are

Any loud Diane Keaton orgasms in that one?
I'm hoping not to be surprised in the future
Is Green's arm like rubber?

Why does it seem like managers treat him like a guy who can pitch every day and for 3 innings at a time…

Oh damn
At least it's only one
Spoke too soon
Apparently >:(

Damn it, Yuni…

Green kinda sucks against lefties

we are the only ones who know this.

That was a suck pitch either way.
He's ok against lefties and really good against righties.
He's pretty bad against lefties.

Career: .269/.393/.401, with an awful K/BB of 24/35.

He's cut down on the walks this year, so I'd still say he's ok.
Has anybody seen Lou and Ozzie rap?

Here it is

Apologies if it’s already been popsted, room is spinning bout now.

The coke bottle explodes?
Fuck off, Yuni.
Thanks Yuni...
CHIPPA JONES!

good, we get to see him hit.

Hit him with the pitch! Hit him with the pitch!

Damn chop.

The potential for GTE from you frightens me...
It's mostly extreme bitterness toward Atlanta.
Lets see some GTE!
JI feels my pain too.
Rhodes + the Braves = the Chop

grrr

I raise my gin and tonic to you
Ugh..I've tried really hard to like gin, but it's not happening
It's a New Orleans thing.
I thought bourbon was a New Orleans thing.
Ugh. The street maybe.

I can’t drink the alcohol.

God, I hate that street.
Locals only go when we're forced.

Such as when visitors come in and say, let’s go to Bourbon!!!

You should just dump them off there and go someplace cool
I try but they want me around for some reaons.

And then they buy me drinks.

reaons
Just testing you.
I can't believe I passed.
Hmm...

I can see how that can be pretty persuasive

Yeah. Until they try to get me to ride the mechanical bull.
I've never seen that in person

It’s on my to-do list.

Watching my friends on it, that is.

There were photos.

They are in the void. I’m afraid they will reappear at an inopportune time.

I found the surrounding streets more interesting.

But it was nice to be 18 (looked probably 16 at the time) and drink openly on the street

I personally like the Marigny much better
Shee.

Stopp giving away secrets.

FUCK

I mean, don’t go there. It’s full of… morlocks?

That's right.
I thought about going with CHUDs

but that’s so Big Apple

Have you tried good bourbon?

I’m partial to Maker’s Mark.

That being said, I dont drink non-beer often, but I did have some martinis last night. Insanely good.

YES YES YES...Maker's Mark is great

I brought it into a party (for myself..byo alcohol) and I got made fun of by some underage turds.

Holy hell, I would have gone Tyler Durdan on them for saying that.
And they were drinking Smirnoff Vodka...Kids these days.
Actually, my friend said he's buying a bottle of Maker's for us to share.

Since I contributed the Bushmills.

Gin is ok if it's done right.

For example, by a bartender on a cruise whose sole job is to make sure I stay drunk for a week straight

That's a job worth doing
I used to feel that way.
I feel like someone finally understands my Braves induced rage.
I've stopped typing correctly!!!
I didn't notice.
Chipper Jones up...

so we bring in our worst pitcher…

How are neither of these men dead yet?
Chipper is awesome and Rhodes threatened Tom Lampkin once.
Rhodes Sighting.

Can we have somebody play that music from the Hulk here?
Rhodes in. Robert pissed.
You're so lucky. You basically get to watch the game at work.
I dont watch the games anymore

Gamethreads 90 percent of the time

But you have two TVs right across from the desk.
THis kid's creepy/
I was only there two hours ago, watching Washburn not suck too much.
Shoulda askes Robert for his autograph.
Drunk already Nola?
GTE.

Damn chjop.

Ok...

I’m just going to assume you drank 2 beers really fast then…

That was chop.

Fingernails in the way.
It’s the Braves. They’re doing this to me.

Poor Fuzz feels liked chopped liver
It happens
Were you the other guy in the store tonight?
No he's the old fat guy
Fuck you Robert

I am by no means old

Don't use my real name on the blog Jim
Hmmm....

Your hours just decreased next to Kaitlins

Yeah someone might find out who y'all are.
Everyone gets a stalker!
Please don't say that.
Corco surprise!
1. Cut a hole in the box.
rec'd for subtleablitity
I hope mine writes "awesome" poetry
I hope mine is male.
I don't.

One time I had in tech-civ a fan because I made many subtle Lebowski references when we discussed nihilism. Sadly, he was a dude.

I'm just happy no one has turned me into an animorph.
I have your picture on facebook....
That is such a terrible picture.
Did you take it todaywith your camera phone?
more or less
Giraffe-head would make it better
I enjoy the simple fact that we're bitching at each other while we stand 4 feet from each other
It's not as hilarious as him and Brett bickering on LL while sharing a computer.
Your dads question was boring
Well, they don't show the Mariners on broadcast TV anymore, so getting satellite for me is kind of exciting.
You should have been there eariler

We found out that we FINALLY get Fox in HD now

That was so exciting
Awesome.
Crazy beattles guy is in the store

:(

Who?
Kenny

The guy that runs around screaming holding the dominos sign

Oh, him. That guy is...interesting.
Tell him the beach boys suck
This guy sounds awesome.
Apparently he's a braves fan

and is losing his shit right now

Okay, not as awesome anymore.
He's doing the tommahawk chop
Oh man, definitely not as awesome.
Punkch him in the face!
Yes punch him in the fucking face!
Would be in bad taste to kill him with a tomahawk right now?
You've been tomahawk'd
{Unch him in the face!
Punch is the word your looking for
Nah, she's good
We're getting to that point aren't we?
Excellent :)
Watching the Braves

is like getting drunk for you…

You failed twice..you must be a quarter done with your first beer.
G&T plus Braves works wonders.
HBP, close enough?
Congratulations Robert

you have your own stalker

Good thing we're playing the percentages here

He’s only hitting .396 against Righties

If it wasnt for Bernie Williams and the Diamondbacks

This is likely this would be a match up that gives me traumatic flashbacks

And Alfonso Soriano and

God, fuck that series

I'm hoping you don't go into epileptic seizures tonight
Why Robert? Why?

Why would you bring that series up? Right up there with 1994 Sonics-Nuggets

This has the makings of a very bad at bat for NOLA

also us, but particularly NOLA

And I think my radio feed is delayed, too.
That'll give you time to put your drink down before you smash your radio/computer into the wall
He HOBBLED.

I’m getting a drink.
Fuck you chipper.

So where's the Sexson .gif!?
XFD So predictable

Rhodes blows cock against righties.

Fuck off and die Arthur.

Oh well. STRASBURG!

God I hate it when people quote s-hitter counting stats as if they bat 50-50 from both sides.
Also, Chipper is historically worse against RHers so I'm ok with that move.
"Only 3 HRs batting righty, 8 batting lefty!!"

So… about the same rate?

Their numbers are 100% wrong

http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/bsplit.cgi?n1=jonesch06&year=2008

the usual break down is about 75-25 for a full time player

But Chipper has been closer to 67-33 the last few years.
Hay is is Brent Lillibridge.
Get injured Chipper
Lillebridge sighting
Hmm... thought I canceled that
u r gay now
At least I can still get married in California
I didn't realize he looked like a twelve year old kid.

Maybe we can trade for him to please Washburn?

Let us laugh beofer this game goes down the shitter:

I plan on laughing the whole way down
I love it

this game is great for GIFS so far

No where near as great as that Toronto game.
True

I missed that game, but saw the GIFs, and I couldn’t believe that it was all from the same game.

At least the M's are good for something
I wish the gameday video wasn't so laggy.
Timber........
Have one of him just slipping over and over again.
You'll have to wait for the archive before you get a good version.
I can be patient.

Just make sure you get it.

Chop chop

motion sickeness...
Oh thank you Arthur.

For once in my life, thank you.

He was great in 2001 (2002 too I think)
2000 as well
How long have you been alive?

Rhodes was awesome 10 years ago.

Nope.

Every time I watched a game he’d f it up somehow.

Alive?

She’s on her deathbed right now….

Someone's on their deathbed.

I’ve determined I can live til 32.

Tits can lose it instead?
Might as well give everyone a shot
Vidro on deck.

Yea.

I like Tex

He reminds me of what good defense at 1b was like when Olerud was on our team.

This reminds me of how Albert Pujols is a manbeast.
Pujols could play a decent 2B

and did earlier this year.

How did that go for him?

I know he played there for a few innings, but I didn’t get a chance to see it

I didn't either, but from what I heard he did a good job.
It was terrifying

he’s way too big to move around the bag and take throws on steals. I thought he was going to get murdered.

He's way to big to play second.
He probably could play a decent third if his elbow wasn't shot.
He played 3rd base for the cards a few years ago
I know.

the first time I saw him play he played RF and SS.

I'm trying to figure out

If the last 5 years of Mariners baseball is the worst 5 years ever

1978-1990 would disagree with you.
Expectations.
Right

And I didn’t state an opinion so I don’t see how those 13 years could disagree with me.

I don't even want to know what a "slicejob" is.
I'm listening on the radio.

Is it pronounced anything like “teh-share-uh”?

more like

tuh-share-uh

How do you get "tuh" from "tei?

It’s definitely teh-share-uh.

What about all the X es?
It's not uncommon that X's are pronounced sounding like an S.

But the Tei is not pronounced Tuh in Teixeira. If it did, his name would be pronounced Tuh-shuh-uh. Although, a deaf person might make this mistake.

However, I am no linguist. Teixeira might pronounce his name the way you think it is, kind of like Bedard (Baydar). But I have never heard anyone pronounce Teixeira “tuh-share-uh.” I would think someone in the media would have got the pronunciation corrected by now.

Maybe it's my Northwest accent.
TITS ABOUT TO BE IN.

Fuck me.

Game Over!....

Mariners lose.

Hoo boy...

This is gonna be an adventure.

Fucking Diamondbacks. Pieces of goddamn shit. Can't fucking hit, can't fucking field. can't fucking hit.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Oh look, it’s the fucking Mariners.

I'm calling a McCann walkoff homerun.
Nice control dickbag
AAaaaaaaaaand offrunning.
Oh look, a goddamn walk. Fuck you Tits. Here comes the BOMB!
And just for your information.

JJ’s out til the All Star Break.

Tits walks someone?

weird….

Ha ha ha

Will it be Fiddle Cat or Handsome Pete?

I have a surprise

If your shitty team manages to win

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How’s the DTs?

and whats a DT
I thought you ODed on Coke.
It was heroin
I think it was heroin, actually.
hHon is lame, coke is in now.
been there done that
My computer ate most of heroine
Ok, every other day LL times out on me for about four hours. Does this happen to anyone else?

It’s only LL and no other site. I’m about to give up gamethreads because they’re almost impossible for me.

It's just you.
Yea no problem with me..
Tits in, game sexier
I kind of want this game to go longer

I have nothing else to do

I don't, I'm hoping for a walkoff.
Is there anyone in the bullpen who would be a worse choice for closer?
Norm Charlton
Rhodes?
Actually I would prefer Rhodes.
Yeah, at least he doesn't walk 14 guys per inning.
And he would help focus our unfocused rage.
Morrow
Yeah, he might actually close it out.
Ugh
gosh your late
Yeah I couldn't stay away from you guys.

But thanks for noticing Robert.

He is your friend afterall
Greg Norton, huh?
Greg Norton ties the game.
Ha ha ha

Norton and all.

FUCK YOU TITS YOU MISERABLE LITTLE BITCH!!!

DIE IN A FIRE!

You still care?
GTE being projected because of the shitty fucking DBacks.
I see.

carry on

I HEART GREG NORTON!
I HATE GREG NORTON!
Riggleman is sad.
IRONY!
How is this irony?
Norton sucks?
I think its questionable
I was playing devil's advocate.
Okay, maybe not very ironic

But still funny.

The part about us DFAing Norton while keeping shitty Vidro mostly.
HAHAHAHA

Irony.

Yes, we chose Miguel Cairo for baserunning.
Dickey's back in the rotation for a while longer.
Norton and Wilkerson have now owned us.
Good for Norton.

I applaud anyone who manages to escape this epic circlejerk of a team.

At least a circlejerk involves some pleasure
I take pleasure in watching the Mariners lose
Strasburg!

Lets just lose already

I don't see any downside. This is actually helpful.
Sylar was going to give us a surprise!
Handsome Pete it is!
Strikeout Francouer...

And then walkoff homer for McCann.

How many orphanages did I burn down to deserve this?!?!
I'd hate to be in the clubhouse after this game.
i can take losing, but not losing while the racists of Atlanta are chopping.
WALK IN THE RUN ASSCLOWN!
Ahahahahahahahahaha

My God this is just awesome.

Well fuck this shit.
omg walkoff grand slam... I can't believe it's really gonna happen.
Wait, hits him on the hand?

That’s part of the bat. Not a hit batter.

O/U on runs scored by the Braves in this inning

7

I'll take the over.
Uhhhh

Wasn’t 3 good enough

This is good
You're a sick man
Just sarcastic
I don't have room in my heart right now for apologies
Coincidentally I don't have a whole lot of room in my heart right now for the Mariners

Excluding Felix Beltre Morrow RRS etc.

And Nicole Zaloumis
She should watch out for Bill.
She takes up a lot of room.
And rally fries girl
Batista is just trying to get this game over with ASAP,

so the season ends sooner.

m's need a dp rite here.
Whats funny is that I could see them turning the 6-4-3

While the winning run scores.

Bobby clap-clap Ayala clap-clap
So no outs?
That was a non attempt to get away from the pitch but w/e, dont care.
They're slappin tits around.

You're .gifs are hit-and-miss.

This is a hit.

Hey, a 2-0 count.
bwhahahahahaha
Could we intentionally walk the winning run please?
bahahaha

PERFECT!

First question on closer application:

Do you know where the fuck you’re throwing the ball?

If the answer is no, hire someone else. I just can’t fathom how Tits was the choice to close. It’s just ego-soothing bullshit, and it’s driving me crazy.

I hate baseball.
Losing on a pussy hit.

Just as it should be. Well done, boys.

While it was a pussy hit,

let it be noted that the pitch was dead center, belt-high.

And when you walk/bean the world,

pussy hits tend to be a very nice complement.

I found it hilarious that Dave referenced

1000000 walks as part of a possible induction speech

HE WON'T STOP
You sholdn't have given him a quarter.
You know it's bad when Dancing Pete doesn't cheer you up >:(
I figure

win = good
loss = Strauburg, therefore good

When we draft Strauburg I will blame you.
luckily the picks are literally phoned in.
Batista BLOWS....
If Miguel Batista was not a very nice man who does very good things...

...I would say some very, very horrible things about his mother right about now.

Put it in a poem and it's acceptable
what a waste

I had a special gif fest lined up for you guys too

We're excited to get Strasburg. Does that count?
We really should not have lost this game. WHAT THE FUCK?
Mariners baseball.
Go Fresno State
Welcome to fail.
I spot a Lillibridge!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Damn you you stupid Braves.

Hm... that was remarkably coherent...
Not drunk, just pissed.
Fortunately I am riding a high from this afternoon.
I know, I figured you'd be blinded with Braves rage

and there’d be more swearing and spelling errors.

Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasburg
YES! I thought the Mariners were gonna blow this one.

We’re still leading the Strasburg race by 3 games.

TITS WOULD BE A GOOD CLOSER BECAUSE HE IS EXPERENCED IN THAT ROLL
Role.
Rick
DAMNIT..You must have had that ready to go.
That's just how I role.
Thats
Now your being silly.
Game.

On the bright side, McCann is good. Had he been retired and we lost to fuckin Gotay I’d be pissed.

Also, STRASBURG

That much closer to Strasburg.
Now 18.5 games behind the angels! YESSSS!
BUT WE HAVE A 1-2 PUNCH!

STEVE PHILLIPS PICKED US!!!!!!!!!

How many games ahead in the race for Strasburg?
I'm pretty sure it's still 3.
Gotta love that he didn't even record an out.

Stras!

Was anybody else chanting "Strasburg! Strasburg! Strasburg!" inside their heads throughout that inning?
Well

Only one of our runs was “earned” anyway.

Strasburg

Was he drafted out of high school?

Nope.

He was a fat kid who threw in the low-90s. Then he became awesome

Kali GIF

You get this before I go back on the wagon.

That guy has one of the most awkward looking bodies

I’ve ever seen

Mad props to the camera man

I spy with my very own eye

something lazy

Yuni!
ITS NOT HIS FAULT HES JUST FOLLOWING BELTRE
WHY WON'T WE JUST LEAVE YUNI ALONE?!!?!?!
Haha

It’s funny because its true

Where is Stuart Scott?!
Well this calls for an extended evening of alcohol
Yes!

Who wants to keep drinking and posting? Anyone?.....yeah I figured

I plan on finishing this growler of beer

We’ll see where we go from there

I ran out of beer

I should have stayed at the BBQ I was at

I say go to your local purveyor of edible products and acquire some fermented vegetable products via the exchange of mutually acceptable monetary currency
Or go raid someone's fridge

Whichever’s faster

You are so smart

smrt

Not really

but beer makes me think I am maybe

Did you know stamps are legal tender?

They have to accept them. It’s really funny. I highly recommend it.

I must do this.
This would be perfect

At a 41 cent beer night. Or 43 cent. Or however much stamps cost now

There's a 40 odd cent beer night?
Mmmmmm

Who wants some PBR

Maybe somewhere

I’ve heard about a 25 cent pitcher night in Morgantown, WV

Hmm...

Not worth living in Morgantown, WV

No

But WVU is supposed to be a fun place to party

Spread offense!
On the plus side, we just wasted an 8 strikeout performance by Washburn.
Boosted his trade value
But we lost a W for him to enhance his trade value.
...

Is “plus” Spanish for “additional shit piled on the fetid pile of crap that is this season”?

Last I read, yes.
I dislike Washburn.
I'm rooting for him for the next month in the vain hope we can dump him off on anyone.

I'd consider it.
If the 09 option went away,

I’d be down with that.

Washburn is owed 09 money too

a deal could be reached.

Griffey of course, must retire or kick ass.

He still got the loss

that’s what makes it awesome

No he didn't.
That's on Tits, isn't it?
Well he didn't get a win.
He must be traded pronto.

Like, in 5 minutes

For what?

Horacio Ramirez?

Did I not say the JI/Robert ticket would deliver?

How did we accomplish this?
shhhh

It’s because we get shit done.

No, No.

Slavery gets shit done

When J/M/G lose they will be our slaves.
I will enjoy my tiny asian french maid
I may have to head underground for a while
You will be spared for saving my lucky hat
The gift that keeps on giving!
I love that hat

Despite how many times I throw it during softball

That's the furthest throw you made all day

...

I’m not going to be spared anymore, am I?

I love that hat
jason Isringhausen forced me to abuse a hat that is no longer with me.
Your going to need to learn a secondary skill
gifs are no good?
Not when Jeff does them better.
Bullshit he does

I taught that cracker everything he knows.

I think you meant to say "cracker ass cracker"
I'm allowed to say cracker until people find out I'm white.
Facebook outed you

It’s been doing that a lot lately

I was disappointed when I found out that your weren't some crazy ethnicity
He's arabic in my mind
My mental image of him is Salleh from Indiana Jones
I was one of the least white people at my HS.

Seahawks training camp was a real kick in the balls.

Secondary skills are things that you do poorly well

Like paint

or type
Are you just going to ignore the spell check marks?
What the hell!?

HOW DOES THIS WORK!?

The Braves were 3-19 in 1-run games?

Another satisfied customer.

seems unlucky
This picture will never get old
HAHA Gary Mathews was owned by a fly ball.
As in he misplayed it

or the flyball bludgeoned him?

he misplayed it

it was gone anyway, but gifable

Washburn had 8 Ks in less than 6 innings? wtf?
It took him 118 pitches in those 5.2 innings to get them

Perfect
Sexson would be my hero if he scissor swept the guy
I was thinkin the sweeping leg kick
Most gutless play i've ever seen.
Richie's had much more gutless.
I'm crying.

Tears of joy and pain. They mix well this time of year.

I wish he would have done the mlb video game glitch and superman'd it in to home
