I'm confused.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
Thank god
Now I only feel partially stupid
MarkE - June 30, 2008
Unless you're pointing out on a larger level that you cannot build success solely on pitching.
Then I understand. Because otherwise, what confuses me is:
-Oakland has an ace.
-Baltimore’s rotation sucks.
-Minnesota’s is pretty poor as well.
-Arizona’s pitching staff is one of the best in the league.
-Ours isn’t bad.
-The Mets never had anyone but Santana.
But it strikes me now that you were probably making a team-wide point rather than a pitching staff-wide point, so I’m unconfused now.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
He's definitely making the point of the former.
And it appears Jeff does not view Harden as an “ace”—I’d agree, following the conventional definition.
redwolf75 - June 30, 2008
I'm just referring to the offseason Bedard/Haren/Santana trades
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
Ahh,.. now the choice of teams makes more sense.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
There is a floor!
Of subtlety.
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
Whyfor did you and others not get this right off the bat?
I’m usually the slow one around here.
Gomez - June 30, 2008
Because I'm so fast that I've already moved well past this winter in terms of frame of reference, and so these trades appear to me to be from the distant past.
If I appear a little blurry to you, it’s not your eyesight, it’s just me moving faster than you relativistically.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
You purchased 100 cups of coffee with your 300 buckeroos, didn't you?
BrianL - June 30, 2008
We spell it koffey in the future
Matthew - June 30, 2008
Does Jeff's head still run Lookout Landing in the year 3000?
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Someone needs to photoshop Jeff's head into one of those head museum jars right now.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
My comment was a direct challenge to LFoJL, btw
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
It should be cerebus Jeff heads running the site though
Jeff in the middle, Surprised-Jeff on one side and Cat-Jeff on the other. Perhaps Clown-Jeff can be in there too if LFoJL is going for an hour long penalty box session.
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
I hate this place
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
That's not what your pickled head said.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Robert - June 30, 2008
Penalty box time?
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Can't see it at work, will penalize later
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
Which ironically will cause me to have to start working
Robert - June 30, 2008
Hey look guys
it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
That is the gift that keeps on giving for me
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
This was just a foolish idea.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
The amount of joy that this thread provides us is infinite.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Jeff is no longer allowed to complain about being aged by us.
He provided us the tools.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
That thread gave us the "Trix are for Kids" photoshop.
I expect to see it in the LL HoF soon.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
This was an excellent way to waste the last few minutes of work.
Well done, y’all. Kudos to your April selves.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
Have you seen the Dave Henderson tribute thread?
Enjoy

By the way, nice work JI
updated LL HOF with Jeff’s PR Disaster
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Ah Coach, he really did run away this time, didn't he?
BrianL - June 30, 2008
He logged in a few days ago
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
D'aawwwwww.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Stalker.
JI - June 30, 2008
I think you mean mod
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
Think of the potential
for Robert.
JI - June 30, 2008
The things I could do with a database of IP Addresses...
Robert - July 1, 2008
I hope not
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
This was the day I learned I don't trust any one of you
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
We tried to photoshop you last year too
It was your own mistake.
Robert - June 30, 2008
Remember that "Bullshit, I haven't touched a girl in months" boxquote you used to smite Robert?
He just shopped it to smite you.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Tattle tale
Robert - June 30, 2008
In addition to being a kiss-ass, I am also Jeff's secret informant.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
I thought you were originally on our side.
Robert - June 30, 2008
I was, then Jeff helped me see the light.
Praise be to Jeff, Matthew, and Graham.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Oh god he's a Stepford Wife
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Well I do verbally fellate the three of them quite often.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
WTF they are the evil ones
Robert - June 30, 2008
Point being?
BrianL - June 30, 2008
You're not very good at keeping it a secret.
Aaron Campeau - June 30, 2008
Please ignore the men in suits waiting outside of your home.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Why would men in these suits be outside our homes?
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Oh you go to hell you bastard.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
No stabs?
Phil Hatzenbuehler - June 30, 2008
Tattling on Robert --> -300 LL ROY points
And LFoJL retakes the lead!
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
How was I ever not in the lead?
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Probably one of your furry photoshops backfired in your face.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
faggot I'm the mayor of backfiring photoshops
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Or the chick flicks.
It could be the chick flicks.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
The chick flicks were like +150 for LFoJL
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
There really is no hope for anyone else.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
Just wait until my coke addiction makes the tabloids
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
It will probably just serve to escalate your popularity.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
Stupid teenagers and they're soda addictions
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
They need something, I suppose.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2008
It's more dramatic if you take the lead at the last second
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Now I see why the buddies never called
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
He should've just stuck with Fag Farm
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
Anagram of the Robert/JI ticket =
Tom Brady Loving Angel Fans
There may have been a typo in JI’s name when I was figuring out the anagrams.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
I mind Tom Brady substanially less than I do Tony Romo
Robert - June 30, 2008
ADMISSION! Everyone in my post above was true!
See for yourselves.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
Typo!
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
How can that work there are three A's in TBLAF and none in R/JI Ticket
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Typos in JIs name, duh
joof - June 30, 2008
Oh. I am very slow =(
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Where'd you get all the extra letters?
JI - June 30, 2008
I'm not good enough for that
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
At least give us Jeff's head in a jar.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
That's why it's a challenge
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Maybe when I feel less tired
God you guys are so demanding. Now I know how Jeff feels
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Yes but we expect quality out of you so its different.
Robert - June 30, 2008
Your penalty box sentence will be wonderfully timed
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
You do realize I don't care about the games anymore
Robert - June 30, 2008
I have a long memory
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
No I don't
what the fuck?
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
But I do.
Matthew - June 30, 2008
Robert going to get penalty boxed during the Strasburg draft next year
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
I'll just have Graham bump this
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/6/5/546537/bob-fontaine-is-an-idiot
Robert - June 30, 2008
5 minutes later was wonderfully timed?
Robert - June 30, 2008
Like this will be your only sentence
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
I thought in America you could only be punished once for a crime
double jeopardy or such
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
I'm going to do something else to deserve it.
Robert - June 30, 2008
Robert - June 30, 2008
Welcome to tyranny

Welcome to tranny?
Robert - June 30, 2008
Somebody employs you

Brett?
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
That was a wall

I hope you bastards are happy with the nightmares I'm causing

When in doubt, blame leadership

I can't believe Coach was the person that kept this place normal
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
You should've stabbed seattlebruin when you had the chance
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
I'm not the one who posted Cerebus-Jeff
but I did recommend it to others. And encourage its creation…
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
I can't believe that we actually drove him away
Robert - June 30, 2008
We should make an apology jpeg for him
Preferably of the anthropomorphic variety.
OlSalty - June 30, 2008
We could offer to make him mod
That way we could also be mean to Butthol at the same time
Robert - June 30, 2008
We should change the tagline of the site to LL - We Miss Coach Owens
for like an hour just to see if he notices and comes back
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Heavens no
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
John Olerud was decent
Robert - June 30, 2008
They should make soldiers walk more

The surprise face is what makes this photoshop worthwhile.

GO LFOJL, GO!

Damn goobacks and your goospeak

This is no time for a handjob.

You like sex and money too
We should hang out
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Whew
And here I was thinking I was developing cataracts. What a relief!
Gomez - June 30, 2008
Ahhhh I get it now.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
Wizzle Wozzle?
BrianL - June 30, 2008
So imagine where the teams with aces would be without them!
They’d be like 5-240 this season combined
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
So your saying that we need three aces?
Robert - June 30, 2008
no, we need more guys who interview well
Bearskin Rugburn - June 30, 2008
It's all about accountability to the media, dammit.
BrianL - June 30, 2008
you can't really pin it entirely to the trades
but all those teams sure disappointed a lot of beat writers this season.
Bearskin Rugburn - June 30, 2008
Obviously there are other factors at play
but still.
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2008
To answer your post:
In blackjack, they’re worth either one or eleven
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 30, 2008
Or in hold'em, they're worth a win 77% of the time against a random hand
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Any ace? Or pocket aces?
Gomez - June 30, 2008
Well the post is "the value of aces"
which must mean pocket aces, right?
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Ah
I thought that win% was around 84.
Gomez - June 30, 2008
I always thought it was closer to 81.8 or something, but a Google search said 77%, and who am I to dispute Google?
I’ll put some more effort into this later
seattlebruin - June 30, 2008
Either way, your point's clear
Gomez - July 1, 2008
Haren wasn't supposed to be the Ace, just the #2, but oddly he's been pretty much every bit as good as Webb.
