Lookout Landing

WHY are we HITTING?

The heart of the order is Emil Brown, Frank Thomas, and Kurt Suzuki

Four of the players on that home run list are old

One is also the

Did Rizzs just say Roy Corcoran is from a town called Slaughter?

I was wondering where you guys went.

Too many indulgences tonight?

I was making tacos.

I'm not allowed to cook while drinking.

I've only had ~three beers.

After one.

Sigh.

Is this a house rule or something? Because if so, you need a new house,

I can even mince garlic until I’m half in the bag.

I can't do anything involving lighting the burner.

Lame.

Moderate booze intake fuels creativity.

And would burn me.

But if the burner is already on then yes, I can go forth.

Are you one of those people that's drunk after one beer

and then doesn’t get drunker until the tenth?

Oh no. It keeps getting worse.

But I can’t play with fire after one.

., can't.

If you were Robert you'd be drunk already.

They were all 9%.

If I were Robert I’d be in the hospital.

So does Corco stick around for next year?

That was fast tortellini.

Should, likely won't

Is our unemptyable supply of cheap good bullpen talent going to dry up with Bavasi gone?

Probably

I bet he will

He will continue to be as annoying as ever

Their lineup is so so very bad

Why is Gerard Fasel walking through the middle of somebody else's lecture

For the love of God.

If Beltre’s shoulder is hurt SIT HIM THE FUCK DOWN

And I'll shut up.

He winced on the reply.

*replay

What's funny is this time I support playing him since our subs are so much worse

And he did that injured

Raul did that healthy.

Is it wrong that part of me wants Beltre to go to the DL for the rest of the season

so he can get his thumb/shoulder/legs healed up for next season?

Remember when everyone was convinced that the cause of 2004 was his hamstring injury?

The hell?

We’re winning.

And now we are winning

That was wildly misleading

Yes.

This needs to stop.

Thank you.

Jeffie!

Gaaaaaaaaaaa I hate delay.

Why does Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne smell of vinegar?

Just go with it, it's delicious.

It's an off-putting aroma but I do enjoy the flavor

Agreed, but now that I equate the aroma with the flavor, I've come to enjoy it as well.

It’s a beautiful beer, too. Love that stuff.

It doesn't really smell like any beer I've ever had before

all my sours have smelled distinctly sour. This is…unusual. But I like it.

Vinegar is accurate.

Malt vinegar, really.

This will take some getting used to

Pretty pretty color.

Everything looks pretty in a snifter

I can't believe I'm still snifterless.

I have a thistle, but no snifter somehow.

You don't have a beer glass collection until you have a Kwak

I should just get a bunsen burner.

A friend tried to drink a porter out of my Kwak glass and I yelled at him

It's way too singular for anything else, really.

I'm disappointed that the RateBeer.com page doesn't mention it as the serving glass

That seems weird, considering their usual fastidiousness.

My beer glass collection is pretty lousy, really.

Three shakers, a Rainier footed pilsener, two faux-trappist glasses and a thistle. The thistle works fairly well as a snifter analog, but still.

Also a goblet, but that works for maybe two or three beers a year.

Jefe!

yes yes yes

What about Jiffie Pop?

no no no

At least no extras.

Hey look he's capable of hitting

Ugh, I don't know what's worse, summer homework or the Mariners.

The Mariners

Go slow swing!

Seriously, when Graham's not around, El Jefe hits.

Someone should look into this.

I never pitched very well in high school when my girlfriend was watching

So you are saying you had performance issues with your girlfriend?

Why do you wreck the funny?

If you were trying for an easy joke I would've gone with "so what's your excuse for when she wasn't?"

That was another way to go with it.

My guess: LaHair does nothing helpful

If his AB has already ended, strike this FanComment from the record.

Johjima will also do nothing

I was correct

It’s easy to have high self esteem if you make easy predictions.

This lead is still right blowable

Yup..JJ

Good God let Beltre sit already.

Isn't time we get rid of the Sad Richie pic?

Coach Owens - August 22, 2008 reply

NO

He's not even on the team anymore!

Coach Owens - August 22, 2008 reply

Your point?

That's like the Mariners keeping Raul's picture on the side of Safeco next year!

Coach Owens - August 22, 2008 reply

Except no.

So? Still works.

One might say it works even better now.

Never

Am I the only one who doesn't get this .png?

Without MLB.tv it means nothing

Jeff's joke with himself.

He misses swayRod.

One day he was just gone and he never comes back

Sway-Rod was a rollin' stone.

He should've at least told you that the two of you needed to talk.

Whilst swaying

This image is sent from the devil.

It has holes in two places where mlb.tv is showing through in the background.

Was that Yuni range?

A surprisingly dynamite attempt

From our friends at USS Mariner "Refuse to Lose (Strasburg)"

That’s why they are the smart ones.

Yuni is good at throwing

One man, one tool.

I wasn't serious

Sure, now y'all know how to field.

This is the loudest I've heard Safeco in quite some time.

I'm listening to Arrested Development.

“Three Years, Five Months and Two Days in the Life Of…” is a great album.

We already know you don't follow baseball.

I wish that were true.

Game’s still on the TV.

I wonder if Tiger fans feel worse about their season than we do

Or Cleveland fans

Cleveland fans probably feel worse about Hafner than we do about our season

That 4 year deal he signed hasn't even kicked in yet.

It's like a worse Michael Young

Yee yee

Yeah, what's going on there?

It sounds like they’re giving away free beers.

END PLEASE.

By the way

The drunk game thread will have strict rules.

What sort of rules?

Such as?

One must be demonstrably wasted by the fifth or risk a booting

And we can tell when it’s faked.

So I guess it will have a rule

This is a fun rule.

Has to be a West Coast game, then I would assume.

Damn it.

Not like I need a head start.

I am already looking forward to reading this thread the next afternoon

Wait, you're not going to be there?

I will be there and intend to be demonstrably trashed

which is why I will be re-reading it the next afternoon.

Fuck me if I have to arrange for a Part 2

Have it ready to go.

We’ll need it.

I will likely need to be deleted by than.

It*

I might lurk and document the better drunkcomments.

Ah.

So one of the other overlords gets stuck with parental duties.

I may trust BrianL for a night

FUCKING HORSESHIT

Due to circumstances outside of my control

I cannot get drunk.

You wouldn't want this job.

He can't drink stupid

Coach would be funnier

We gotta draw the line somewhere.

That was fast.

If I didn't let him out then I would risk forgetting completely

This is bad why?

Robert is cute

Awwwwww.

Than I wouldn't be able to tell you that I have a drunk LFoJL on my hands.

gay

and dova its da 23 nnw herr

Do you know what that means?

Not a clue but the boy is completely wasted right now

Doesn't take much to fuck up a clam

6 shots apparently

Padding his stats.

ya son but eers a mothafvckin height lmt fo sum dem raiydes

Apparently not using "word" function for texts.

You are the bestervelt

Well that's just excellent.

Hmm.

I think I could poke a hole right through him...

Again. Hmm...

It's no longer his birthday; we can make fun of him all we want.

tell ll premium i raid hai n tel jefrey "hugs"

"i raid hai?"

I said hi?

nah aint no coppas gon rodney king me tonight. Is unstoppab5d

Fucking wizards.

Yes you would.

I wouldn't let you forget

I usually don't hear my phone

I recently realized that I have the power to cancel both Matthews and Grahams cellphone

Graham's is worthless anyway without texting

Yet he finds a way.

Using your phone

You know I have your number now right

I typed.

He’s too lazy.

So in other words, yes.

Upon second glance I cleared out my messages so I actually don't have it anymore

Until the next time Graham asks me to send you BRMC messages.

504-867-5309

Ask for Jenny.

I hope someone tries this.

Oh Coaaaachhhh.

Well now they won't.

I thought of that as I hit post.

He would that asshole

Don't worry; I'm sure the day will come.

I also have the power to add texting to Grahams account without his permission

Please, do.

I was able to finish off my tasty tortellini

Why would anyone put shitfaced Robert in charge?

I promise I won't let you down.

This might work.

Excellent plan.

Living with ones parents

I have no idea how I will manage to pull this off.

I am certain you will share with us

This will be a fun thing to explain

Lock yourself in your room again.

I like to roam while drunk

With your computer?

Someone steal his car keys.

He probably loses those himself.

Yes

Ideally a Friday or Saturday.

I would like to humbly request a Saturday.

I work Saturdays.

He's not listening to my 20th suggestion.

I work Friday and Saturdays.

Damnit.

It's a casino

I suppose I could fake some wiring problems on a few cameras and help myself to the bar storage.

Sounds like you would have a story to tell

Pat O'Day can certify me.

Such as?

Sorry, such as?

Such as?

In the 8th?

Rule spasms?

Booooo.

You spry motherfucker

Darn, my hopes were up.

That catch will be on sportscenter and it doesn't deserve it

So...do we hope for dominant JJ or Strasburg JJ?

Either

Have no desire to see mediocre hang-on-by-a-thread JJ.

After one hitter it looks like in-between JJ

Francisco Rodriguez has more saves than we have wins

Good things saves are a useful stat

If we win tonight Francisco Rodriguez will still have more saves than we have wins

98mph motherfuckers

JUST END.

Holy hell that's a bad pitch

Look at this fucker walk the world

HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GONNA' GO ON?

ThATS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

Damn west coast bias.

Why are they talking about Emil Brown as if he is good

JUST FUCKING DIE YUNI

Tubby couldn't get to that. What a suprise.

Yuni range vanished.

2005 Yuni makes yada yada yada

BJ Upton makes that play

Haha

He's too lazy to lower his glove

argh

So Oakland is bad.

At least it was mercifully quick

That was the Jeff Clement of double plays

MARINERS LOSE!

THANK YOU.

Raul Ibanez greets everyone in the post-game line the same way

Crap. I really want Strasburg.

We badly need someone to gush about the likely #2

Do you have to be so optomistic?

Opto?

I can not spell.

Subject line spell check.

Look it up.

Thanks.

I feel like a big part of Strasburg's appeal is that he has a name

We need to put a name to somebody else.

Being that it's a Friday night feel free to turn this into Club LL until you go to sleep

I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKEDED IT!

Is horrible and catchy

HOPE MY BOYFRIEND DON'T MINd IT!

Perhaps you should work on your LatinShops more instead.

I'm all outta' ideas.

So is Paris Hilton

I already had enough shitty songs stuck in my head, thanks.

Once it's there, you're powerless over it.

WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cascada is the holy water of the 21st century

Anybody that dislikes it has no soul

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSeUtkq8WSc

This is every song she's ever done

Cascada is the Will Ferrell of Europop.

Will Ferrell doesn't wear sexy glasses

This club died fast.

I tried.

I actually am corco - August 22, 2008 reply

I'm still here

Good luck with this.
