We love Strassburg again!
It's hard to get runs when the ball blends in with your team.
I thought the commercial was funny.
I detest anti-intellectualism.
Was that a fake link?
You're welcome LFOJL
Computer shitted out on me and I came back to see this one :(
Douchebag fans!

Come on people,make it hard for him!

Please don't strike out Clement

All I ask.

God damn it
I would be honored to strike out against Roy Halladay
I just wish he wasn't making a habit of doing it against everyone else too
I think I made a loop.
Ok gang, I have a life or death situation.

Pizza Hut, or Papa John’s?

Stuffed crust
Fool me once. . .
Ummm...

Both ways lead to death.

PIzza Hut a million times.
is it even a close call? Papa's
Pizza Hut.

It’s bad, but Papa John’s is atrocious.

I would sleep with Papa John's thin crust if it folded better
Did they stop giving out the garlic butter dipping sauce in the Lower 48 too?
I haven't ordered it for a while so I don't know
Clearly Papa John's.
Papa Johns

If you go with Pizza Hut you might as well save your money and go lick a plate slicked with grease.

wow, a pitch like that at 95? no chance!
What better way to celebrate Canada day

then in their beloved neighbor’s country, the good ol’ U.S of A.

Johjima has a lower OPS than Jose Vidro
Yay for extension!!!
The Moore I think about it, the dumber that move is. I mean, by the end of this year we'll have a great young catcher who will have Clemented himself in the lineup.

And we have another one waiting.

You're gonna' make the most of this immunity, aren't you?
Jeff is going to "surprise" ban me within the next 24 hours
Duh
Well now it's not a goddamn surprise

Are you happy now?

Every time I see this Comcast commercial, I will call them out.

Fuck you, Comcast. FiOS is way better than your shit.

Cue the LL gawkers.

You have a friend in the stadium.

Damn you wyrm now I want crappy pizza.
I can almost feel the grease dripping down my chin.
Nobody touch this
You guys are terrible.
That's what Mrs. Silva said.
Sounds like a one night stand with Willie Boom Boom lol
Do you have a girl over?
HATS EXITS
God I weigh more than Matt Stairs.

Up until this point even Super Size Me didn’t shake my quest to eat as poorly as I could everyday of my life, but this might do it.

Looks like Dickey gets to keep his beard tonight.
Angry sex > normal sex
shit

dickeys at 97 pitches through 5 and a third

Is it wrong that these Jays fans are now bugging me more than RSN?
No it's always annoying

when another team’s fanbase takes over your stadium.

Since I haven't met them in person I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt
Let's go BLUE JAYS
You redecorated?

Whoa that freaked me out.
That's never happened to me
So the pills aren't working then?
This is interesting.
The other one's more menacing.
Its the one I get
FUCK YOU MIKE
Is there a worse ump in pro ball?
Some would argue Angel Hernandez.
He is just generally bad, though.

Reilly has it out for the boys in blue.

Not really, he's made heinous calls in our favor too

just not as many.

As Lewis Black would say

“his calls are slightly assssskewwwww.”

So, uh, fuck Mike Reilly?
strikes again
God damn it Mike Reilly
Holy shit it's hot outside.
Inside too.
My house is much hotter inside than outside.
House is hot no matter where he is.
The only time I leave the house is when I am banned.
That must have been a liberating four minutes.
I took screenshots and left revenge flags for three of them.
YOU WHORW

YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISED. YOU SAID I WOUNDNT EVER GET BANNED.

You weren't banned
Thats why you didn't get a email.
Whose ass?

Don’t answer that.

It was a cloudless 80 degrees yesterday

it was a cloudless 79 degrees today

It's 80 right now.
It was a cloudless 93 degree today
It's about the same here the past three days.

It’s just much much much warmer inside a giant indoor soccer arena.

Currently 59 degrees in Anchorage.

We have had an asstastic summer so far.

Isn't Spring the nicest part of the year there?
Spring is all mud and the rank ass smell of ice break up.
Sounds delightful.
My sister says the summers are unbearable

but she lives in the Yukon delta, so the weather is probably way different. When I was in Anchorage in July a few years back it rained the whole time.

So, about my fantasy team
Nobody cares about you
Should I pick up acblue for Graham? Graham hasn't posted a lot in the last day, and it's really hurting my post count
We need LL fantasy commenting.
Because recs aren't enough for you?
I've never been picked first for non comedy reasons.
Apparently I dead memed recs

I need another way to justify wasting my nights on here

I've been saying this for years
You've been here 4 months.
I think he joined in November
But Graham has added weight to each of his posts.

Surely he is worth more than just one starter?

I'm Cairo.
Then I must be Lahair.
If you're Cairo then I'm Eduardo Perez.

Be someone better?

I'm like a gay Jim Edmonds
Added weight?

All that beer catching up to him?

The only categories kept are recs, greenposts, and House%,
I've got to be up there in greenposts
Graham's House% is pathetic
Yet he is nicknamed after him.
I wonder what happens when he re-americanizes
I think times banned should be kept
Bannings are like productive outs
This is why I'm a non-prospect.

My House% will never be ready for the Show.

I just rocketed into to first place.
That was pretty
Weeeeeee Gritty Error!
Today's 300 character fact of the day:

Doc Holliday was an actual doctor, graduating from the Philadelphia School of Dentistry.

Strike one
buh?
Strike two.
Nah, don't like this.
Strike three looking!

Fausto Carmona says “hey wtf?”

Put a little more thought in your post, don't just use some random fact

Two more strikes and you’re banned.

"Tries to get everything he has behind the throw"

Yeah that’ll work

I just realized this team is boring.
I paid to watch them in person three days in a row
What a loser. I haven't paid a dime to watch this team.
I have cable pretty much only because of baseball.

And that shit’s pricey.

Nor have I.

Got my tickets for free and still felt like he owed me something.

And you claim to be smart?
I didn't pay for a single one of my seven beers yesterday
What great company you keep.
Tell me about it
Drink and dash
We would have bought you Anne Frank if you had asked
I may be making two seperate trips to Seattle to watch them this month.
Why would you do that to yourself.
Free?
Time is also a resource
Roy Halladay is fucking awesome.

There’s no way around it.

When was the last time Raul went yard?
Not a strike
BELATED
Not according to the motherboard
The fatherland disagrees.
There's that lefty strike zone.
next question

what’s Halladay’s pitch count? any chance we get to the bullpen and do some damage?

72

he’ll be around for a while.

Loafie looked good diving there.
Goddamn it I hate Eckstien.
Why is no one named Dick anymore?
Probably the same reason no one was named Gaylord from 1970 on.
My Uncle's name is Gaylord.

He goes by Pat.

Gaylord sounds like an awesome name.
It'll make a comeback if I ever get a bad condom.
And a girl
*it's a sure fire way to keep her in your clutches.
So's a good basement lock.
Dickey penis butt queef
I wonder what the people who've never heard of Photoshop before would think of this website
That some koala out there looks just like David Eckstein.
Those people also probably have been had by quite a few eBay scammers.

A real Jr. Rookie card, for 99c? SCORE!

That it's actually run by nazis?

Pleasant nazis
The bigger this image gets, the shittier of a photoshop job it appears
Jeff has a very pointy skull
Cursed nazi shadows
I have no idea why Anne Frank isn't involved in this picture.
Boy's night out?
Reminds me of

Resize damn you
They are so much happier to be there than the rest of the henchmen.
Adolf just announced free beer Wednesdays!
Half the country would sign up.
I know how I'm starting my evil force.
Nazis probably had access to a lot of free beer
Jealous of the inner circle
Tank F/X will never fail.
LFoJL would confuse the hell out of anyone who didn't understand the context

.......What is the context again?

I wonder what people who work for Adobe would think of this website.
OH GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE!
Jesus Christ Tapdancing on a Cracker!!!!!!

A bunch of blasphemous heathens!

Needs more jazz hands.
So Dickey has gone from good to very bad.
More like Gayple Leafs am I right?
WilkerSUCK
Gayplesuck
Dave Sims, Prophet of Doom

First with the “I thought Felix was going to have to put down like Barbaro,” and now “I guess someone is just going to have to buy it before MLB puts up nets down the line.”

HOW MUCH BLOOD WILL IT TAKE TO SATISFY YOU, SIMS?!!?

So rays win and yanks and red sox lose?

This day is perking up.

Stupid Nationals
Pleasant summer night?

It was cloudy and 80. Pleasant my ass.

Disgusting
I would like that version of Mark Lowe to stick around.
theres the Mark Lowe

we know and love

I was tempted to say Lowve
So Lowe looks pretty good.
It's a trap, they're just trying to find out who's still paying attention so they know who to cleanse
Good heavens, somebody appears to have vandalized and duplicated the Statue of Liberty
Why do they send a mic with the rally fry girl?

They never broadcast anything over it.

I dread the day they start interviewing those people.
I dread Sunday radio games.
Ugh.

You should(n’t) watch the Ranger’s home games. They do at least one of those every game. It’s like watching “people on the street” newscasts.

When I'm elected president Jim Knox is the first to the gas chamber
It would be smarter to burn one of your secret murders on him.
Disagree.

Needs to be public. And messy.

My vote is yours.
Cue Jeff's Rangers broadcast review.
This is exactly what I was thinking of.
Are you kidding?

Imagine the trap we could set…

1) Get every LLer to shave their kid’s head and fake a cancer ward outing
2) Bait the Rally Fries Girl into interviewing one of the brave little boogers
3) Kid very adorably tells the microphone that coming to the ballpark has been the happiest day of his life because he has good seats by the left field line and he loves watching Raul Ibanez play HORRIBLE DEFENSE FIRE VIDRO BURN THE TREE

If someone can get BURN THE TREE on a M's broadcast,

I’ll send them 20$ over Paypal.

Wouldn't it be easier to just some kid pawn cancer?
Eh?
Pawn cancer is the #1 killer of chess sets
subject = kid pawn

object = cancer

to try and clear confusion.

Doesn't clear it at all
Very elaborate

but it could work.

I've seen her get lost/confused before she delivers the package.
This could be the worst unintentional euphemism of all time
Why do they give bats to the Mariners?
So that they can give them away to Red?
So that's how Adrian busted his hand
I think that sign was made by the dad.
Wouldn't blame him.
Roy Halladay is good.
I'm starting to think that the bat producers are sending inferior bats to the Mariners,

because, you know, why not?

According to FOX Maple Bats are the #1 killer in America.
Even more than the gays? :O
They only kill our way of life.
Gays with Maple Bats are more dangerous than Al-Qaeda
Gays with Maple Bats is my new band name

Since Sleipnir was taken by pleasant Nazis.

Gays with maple bats are too preoccupied to cause any harm
bwhahahahaha
Nothing is more dangerous then Al-Qaeda.....

They are going to follow us home…

ZOMG SOME PoLITICS BUT NOT TOO MUCH AMIRITE
BURN THE GOVERNMENT TREE
Someone get in contact with Ichiro's magic forest
[decides against pube joke]
I'd swim in Ichiro's magic forest
This was a really shitty metaphor
Ichiro's magic forest isn't where he harvests bats, it's where he gets the shrooms he needs to survive 6 months with this team.
That might actually make this team better.
I don't get this...

who in the hell has UNUSED cell phones laying around?

I have three on my floor
I just got a new Curve on my plan.

I still have my two old ones from past upgrades.

You didn't use them?
No.

I think both are brand new. They’ll send them to you if you don’t go in and ask for one.

I save old ones for such purposes.
Oh wait, you said unused.

Yeah, that is kind of asking a lot.

REEEEEEEEEEED
Is that a Red imposter on the fhird base side?
I think he's just poor
Well, he's got the wild mane of hair

But I do not sense awesomeness.

HUSTLE BITCHES!!
Fuck you Richie!
No you idiots, STRASBURG
Shouldn't Reed get #7 back?
That was acctually a well stroked hit
well, i thought for sure that would be an XBH for sexson...

guess not.

FUCK YOU BLOWERS
With a Maple Bat!
Halladay's an ungly motherfucker without the facial hair.
and not much of a looker with it
Sllllloooooowwwwww bat!
Now is the time for Halladay to breakdown and throw a couple wild pitches in our favor.
God damn it again Clement
that was a nasty pitch
Back to Tacoma.
He's about to swing check it out
Give him a minute
I think the swing was so quick the human eye can't pick it up.
Like my groin
Does this count as a drunkpost?

Or at least should it?

He said quick, not little
Can't it be both?
Being laid by LFoJL is like having a porcupine thrown at your butthole

Hundreds of little pokes

Porcupine-butthol would be an interesting animorph
Nah, LFOJL has premature ejaculation problems.
Inappropriate
Thinking about baseball doesn't work if you think about Jose.
Not his fault,

he heard a Janeane Garofalo movie starting.

All of you are dirty so and sos
Seems a bit high.
I've been searching for this for eight minutes

That the same look I get with allergies.

But blacker.

I meant the pitch, but sure, why not?
That pitch was impressive, but a strike?
It was scored as struck out looking...

but he was just starting his swing

Fucking kenji
OK, we'll leave you alone while you're at that then

This needs to be re-capped in hi def.

This is the best.

Swinging like a monkey on vines?
In hindsight, maybe you don't have Yuni promote "Lunchbox Day".
HE'S STARING AT HIS KICKASS VANS THAT LOOK LIKE SNEAKERS
No commercials in archives?
Or .gif'd

The billowing shirts are the best part.

You cocksucking son of a bitch
giffin ain't easy
I don't even care I'm doing it anyway

The frustration in conveyed better in real time.
And for the full version:

We spent longer than usual talking about the game today
We need on of just the shirts flapping.
Give me a minute

Too fast

Mine's insaner.
Lopez is doing a pelvic thrust.
He's thrusting harder and faster in the better, gayer, one.
Mine is realistic
And powerfully gay
This is is the injury that caused Yuni's range to take a downturn.
But he takes it with a smile.
Mine brings more of the funny.
Speed != humor
Benny Hill would disagree
Your .gif doesn't have zany music
We need a gif with a few slow thrusts a bunch of fast thrusts and then some slower ones.
ytmnd.com someone get on it
He needed to practice fucking the man
THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER
Hypnotic.

And even gayer than the full-length one.

I could star at this all day.
Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is better than I remember.

Which is impressive because I loved it before.

I think that Yahoo woman is Vicki Vette.
SMOKE SOME REEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!
ya, just about to
Frank Caliendo is playing at Emerald Queen?

How’d that TBS show work out for ya Frank?

They're still running commercials with him for DirecTV (I think).
saw one last week
If Frank Caliendo and Ted Nugent are there the same night

I’d like to have two big bowls of 9-11 sent to their rooms.

Nuge is a douche, but he fuckin' wails.
I can't figure out if Mark Lowe is back to form or

if he’s never going to be and we just get inconsistent awesomeness.

still filthy
Holy shit I just missed an inning.

Since when does that happen for our side?

What's this thing Cito Gaston just did at SS?
At least someone realizes that he's no good.
Explain!.
I like how pitch 1 was a strike and pitch 3 was a ball.
Holy hell this is awesome

New Mariners Giveaway: 2008 Season Aztec Whistles of Death Night

Thanks, now I'm not sleeping tonight.
This is the sound that Jeffcat makes in my imagination
I thought Jeffcat talked.
This is the sound she makes before she bans
If they made it 40x worse it would be Death Static all over again.
Aztecs with Death Static would have ruled the ancient world.
Step Two for our evil empire: Death Static Weapons.
But how much will they weigh?
The clown car is death static proof
What is the death static?

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2006/4/5/231350/4707

Gobstoppers!
They were the beta version of recs
This blog was a lot gayer before I bursted onto the scene
Not possible
There is no gay floor
yes yes yes

This is how I felt when I discovered Pearl Jam when I was 16.

This was the year I had extra innings.
Holy SHIT thats freaky
They should make that the whistle for the train giveaway.
Sims: "Brad Wilkerson. Pfffff"
I should flag everyone of your posts for not inviting Sims to the gathering
Lowe 3 innings?

Stretching out for starting????

bwahahah

If only there were someone else in the bullpen who needed to be stretched out
I know, Sean Green really deserves a chance to start.
WTF is that shit?

“And all available bullpen arms?

rofl did anyone see this?


Bwhahaha, Wilkerson.
I thought the game had ended an hour ago
It pretty much did
I've been like this since the first week in may
This game ended when Roy Halladay was born.
Line drive, base hit, game over.

Nice one.

"Swung on, base hit, Overbay, Game over"

What?

The Blue Jays have a 3rd order record of 48-36
I like to think of this series as a gateway to an actual homestand
PADS WIN PADS WIN PADS WIN!!
bahahaha, Zito 5IP 6H, 5R, 5BB 6K 1HR

on the way to a loss.

But Rockies lose

God damn that division.

It's awesome

Wild Card! Wild Card !Wild Card!

What happened to them?
Didn't pray enough
God damnit

I ask one baseball relevant question a month and you cant even give me a real answer

You can figure it out for yourself
Screw it

I’ll just ask Brett

They can't pitch and have received an .800+ OPS from just two positions
They forgot to copyright Fluketober.

Suck it Tulowitski,

Thier murder's row is not so murderous
At least OAK won.
I mean winning.
WOOO WE'RE BACK IN THE HUNT

This is how i imagine my self when it comes to recs
What, Krueger?
Did he just call him an alcoholic?
I think he called the original an alcoholic.

Which, okay, sure, but what does that have to do with anything?

the real Doc Holliday.
....But why is that at all relevant to this?
it's Bill Kreuger dude.
Why does Kreuger say half the shit he says?
He's an alcoholic?
I knew a guy back in high school named Jake Peavy who would suck dick for smack

But this Jake Peavy, yeah he’s a pretty good pitcher.

Felix = DL, Jimenez up

Bother.

Fuck.

Also, Jimenez? Ick.

Well we all knew it was worse than they've been letting on...

It always is.

It's almost as though...
Keep in mind that it's retroative to his last appearence.

Doesn’t mean all that much—they may just be skipping his next two starts.

Probably just letting him get healthy during the all star break

But it does kind of indicate that the sprain ended up being worse than they first reported.

fuck fuck fuck
This means he'll probably start the friday after the AS game

fuck fuck shit fuck ass taint fuck

Goddamn it.

He would have made the all star team, too.

Awesome.

Fuck.

Why does Brad Adam have a job?

Nationals lose!!! Fuck!

Larry Stone is an amusing man.
With David Eckstein starting for Toronto and Willie Bloomquist for Seattle, I’ll bet the shortstop position has never witnessed so much grit in one game.
He also is not amused with Tits.
I was surprised to see that Batista denied ever saying, after his last start, anything about other pitchers on the Mariners going on the disabled list when they felt pain. Since I was one of the writers quoting him, I took that personally. Just to be sure, I listened to the tape again. He said it.
I love Larry Stone.

I am beginning to actively dislike Batista the person.

I'm beginning to personaly dislike about half the players on the team.

For various reasons.

*personally
I always forget how funny Kevin Nealon is.

I’m running through the third season of Weeds, and he’s killing me.
