Lookout Landing

The other thread ended just as I got the chance to pull this baby out, so here goes again:

My bizzle

I forgot about that rule.

I haven't been able to enforce it before

Which one did you violate?

Did you expose yourself in public again?

No LaHair puns

I thought I'd have to use this on DRB posters, not an LL'er

We're in the 8th?

Time for a Jose Lopez walkoff shot!

We got an inning earlier even

Is it just me or is Felix using his curveball to achieve pwnage?

Something feels off when FSN gives me voting advice

FSN encourages me to participate in Voter fraud

Sonny is lazy. only 61 pitches.

So I'm guessing we've seen good Felix tonight?

Pretty good Felix

HIt a homer you lazy beaner

It's ok to call him that since he's white right?

White people don't have feelings.

They just follow the snake mother’s orders

*Queen Spider's

*Evil scientist Yakub's

Maybe someone can introduce the M's to Ms. Run Support

I don't think they swing that way.

Is she related to B.J.?

The M’s are too lazy to score runs.

Top five picks in 2002:

Bryan Bullington
BJ Upton
Christopher Gruler
Adam Loewen
Clint Everts

Zounds.

That worked well for us, No matter Beane's objections.

But the rest of the 1st was pretty awesome

Moneyball says that Upton was a bad pick

blah blah blah

Moneyball = overrated

Hard to win titles with safe, limited upside college players.

Hard to get to the Playoffs when you have a budget of 13 dollars and a box of Krispy Kremes.

Michael Inoa agrees.

This.

I agree with your premise

but not your supporting detail.

Bossman!

What in the hell is a Christopher Gruler?

I was wondering the same thing

A shoulder injury

I imagined it was Gruling for Reds fans to see him pitch.

A Kazmir wanted to much money.

That worked well for us too.

Dude doesn't even have a Wikipedia page

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time a few years

I’d be an awesome GM.

I think we all know how horrible the Pirates are already.

Wilder. - August 7, 2008 reply

Bullington.

We are losing 1-0 because Clement couldn't block a ball.

Same reason we swept Detroit. Except with inge.

Felix got hurt earlier this year

because Clement couldn’t block a ball.

Time to trade him to the Reds for a washed up outfielder

Jay Bruce is washed up, right?

Wait until we sign Dunn this offseason

ugh.

Slow glove.

Wozzle

That was bad, even for you Adrian.

He'll homer on that one day

Jesus Christ, control pitchers own our lineup so hard

hields is going to be fun.

Shields*

They either own lineups or get absolutely crushed by them

never seems like there’s a middle ground for them.

craig3410 - August 7, 2008 reply

Jesus Christ, ~~control~~ pitchers own our lineup so hard

Is that what you guys mean when you say Adrian needs to aim better?

73 pitches for Sonnanstine

bluhh

We've made him work this inning

Seriously ♥ Lopez.

Would ya look at that? A hit. By Loafie.

I hate baseball

Felix is pitching well, the Rays are winning, but I’m still sad.

Did your cat die?

No, but it cried tonight because I walked away from it

:O

What a pussy

So this young 2B we have is pretty good.

I say we ignore 2007 and the second half of 2006 and pretend he got called up this year

Do we get to keep him as an AllStar?

We'll edit history and say he made it this year

Lazy fly ball.

I’m out. (Possible Toronado run, Jeff!)

Teej - August 7, 2008 reply

>:(

I'll drink some meat beer in your honor.

Just kidding, I won’t.

Teej - August 7, 2008 reply

I have one in my fridge

MLB.tv has stopped imploring me to keep watching

I guess I should stop watching

You have less of a choice than most of us.

So, Lopez is still awesome.

Keep rocking Lopez. Less than three.

Which is slower, Clement's bat or BJ Upton going up the line on a grounder to the infield?

Molasses.

No, molasses beats Upton at the very least.

DIE IN A FIRE.

You're fucking angry tonight

Seriously. Normally it's STP that's angry.

Sonny's pitching well, I'm cool.

DIE IN A FIRE.

You're fucking angry tonight

Coach?

That hurts.

You got served here, here, and here, but mostly there in the pelvic region.

Haha, haven't seen an A1 quote in awhile.

Wilder. - August 7, 2008 reply

I like how Bavasi is lurking in the shadows...

He chose Everett

he deserves to be sad.

argh!

Had that one ready to go

I have a better question.

If FLC tried to throw out BJ Upton stealing, would the universe grind to a halt?

FLC would concede the steal and hang on to the ball while Upton would concede the throw and stay at first

Upton would be faster if he actually tried

If BJ Upton were an electron he would be observable

If Upton were an electron it would be easy to pinpoint both his momentum and his position.

If Upton was an element he would be hydrogen because neutrons are just too damn much work

I think he may be Helium, because its inert.

Felix is Krypton, because he cripples batters and he's noble.

If Upton were a temperature he would be absolute zero because he finally found a way to completely stop his molecules from moving in any way.

Beej HR. Calling it.

Fail

Too lazy for pronouns and verbs.

Teej - August 7, 2008 reply

I need a little Upton homer.

Fail harder

Well, shit.

That was one lazy swing.

Almost as slow as Clement.

Wilder. - August 7, 2008 reply

Please don't tell me I have to see Percy today.

It's the 8th? WTB

Lazier: BJ Upton or a long hot summer day in the country with your grandpa?

Your face.

If BJ Upton were an oscillating fan, he'd be a stationary fan

lol

I chuckled.

This is solid

Excellent

18 inches higher

WHAT THE HELL

Balentien's day!

WLAD!!!!! ♥

Damn

I though that was gone

He gets closer and closer every time.

They’ll start flying out soon.

You just got Curacao Crushed, Sonny

WLAD!

Balfour plz. Balfour plz. WTF MILLER NONONONONONONONONO.

LOL your setup man's parents spelled Trevor wrong

Call him our SU man again and I will beat you.

And your team is warming that tomato can up because?

Maddon loves him like a child.

Ah, so he's your manager's Rick White

I love that there are no videos on Gameday.

It's been that sort of game.

Hot shit JJ's getting warm

Damn I thought it was gone...

But still, ♥ Balentien♥

LaHair has four people in his fan club, apparently

Hah, Sims is funny tonight.

Maddon is conceding the game in honor of Felix day. Miller is up.

LaHair: the new Willie Bloomquist

just watch.

4 people in the Brian LaHair club.

TIme for a walkoff!

In the 8th!

FUUUUUUUUCK

LaHair actually hit that too hard for his own good

Oh god that was terrible Sims I take it back.

Sorry Rays fans...

I want us to win this game for Felix

Haha Cairo sighting

THE GIRL IN THE LAHAIR FAN CLUB STOLE MY MOVE

She was waving her arms and hands at the field like she was casting a spell. I do that! Not her.

Go High Socks!

High socks are dumb

I was trying to create a nickname here.

Calf cover?

I like it.

LeHair Cl---

nvm

Can we just call him Non-Prospect?

I like that. Catchy.

NP for short.

Dirk Hayhurst has a claim on that title, man.

Something to be excited about

Why is Cairo running over Willie?

yaaaay!

We did it! We did it together!

Tie game wheeeeeeeee

No loss for Felix!

Cairo has to be the worst pinch runner ever

BJ Upton could pinch stand for you.

WOOOOOO

Yuni productive out!

YOU SUCK CRAWFORD

Wooo

WTF?

Yuni did something useful?

Crystal for DH - August 7, 2008 reply

That sac fly wasn't the least bit silly

Crawford was though.

It hurt his OBP

Like it could go much lower anyway

There is no floor.

I'm pretty sure it's 0.000

He could hit into a TP every time.

Now to the plate for the Mariners, Yuniesky Betancourt...

-0.200/-0.199/-0.100

AAHHHHHH Cairo!!

Tied!!!

BJ Upton couldn't be bothered to tell Crawford to throw it to 2nd.

He was under that pitch, still...thanks for contributing Yuni.

NO SHUTOUT FOR YOU, SONNY

Let's go M's!

NO MILLER NO MILLER NO MILLER NO MILLER

Miller Time FTW

Nice Yuni.

And good to see his discipline coming back

Niehaus wanted that to be a HR

He gave that Yuni flyball the full 11 volume SWUNG ON AND BELTED treatment

BJ Upton registered for Sleep Standing Up classes and slept through orientation

that guy is lazy!

Okay I laughed at this one

THis is in danger of becoming like the puns.

We only have it for four days

How sad for you.

Nah, cause it'll end after the series is over.

And it’s their meme we’re killing, not ours.

LATE

Lookout Landing: memes:: Utah: miners

Virginia Tech: students

So with JJ getting up we better score ten runs or no runs at all

;_;

Not even the Rays have learnt that Ichiro doesn't have a platoon split.

Yes they have

It’s Felix Day and Maddon want’s to give him the opportunity to win by throwing our worst pitcher.

No apostrophe

wants

Fair enough

Sorry

it’s a thing. =/

Maybe Miller pitches better to lefties regardless of what Ichiro does.

This.

two batters!

Holy shit that pitch was disgusting

Almost like Miller didn't pitch it

Holy Christ this game is fast!

I’ve been home for 15 minutes, and already 1.5 innings gone down. But speed reading the entire thread was hilarious.

dpseadv - August 7, 2008 reply

THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT

MILLER 2 STRAIGHT OUTS I’M CONFUSED

If we had pulled ahead

we would have had a shot at ending this game within two hours.

Uh oh Jeff

Reed’s OPS at .701

I hope he faces a righty next

His 2006 was magic.

At least they're letting him try to hit lefties now

He should pull an anti-Upton and try harder

Okay JJ, give me back the 98 mph FB

96.

Close, but not enough

And there we go

I remember when Cairo was our starting 2B

This makes me sad.

Flash forward eight years and he’s been our starting 1B.

Fruit of the Loom "feel for the game?"

You have got to be kidding me.

Poor decision.

At least Sprint's call to the pen made sense.

Ford Keys to the Game don't make sense, but thats Kruegers fault

Keys start engines.

Longoria - Pleaseplease hit one out.

Evan is better than you and I.

Brett got Longo's autograph today

That made me more jealous than it ever should.

OH FUCK YOU PUTZ. COME ON UPTON KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER.

Too lazy

Yikes

Uh oh

Please don't be hurt.

You son of a bitch JJ

With the exception of playing Raul over Wlad and Reed in the OF

I have no problems with Riggleman.

Goddamnit JJ.

I hope this isn't another JD Drew

oh shit

Joe Maddon looks somewhat douchey

He's a douche for loving Brett Favre

Fuck you

That's bad

He better not be hurt

Oh cunts

Well used.

Longoria was swinging

Until he stopped.

He only stopped because while he was swinging he got hit by a baseball.

He would have been able to avoid it

if he hadn’t been busy swinging in the first place.

Aw man, I hope Longoria didn't break his hand.

Sit down Riggleman, he got hit.

I will find that motherfucker and I will do fucking disturbing shit to him if Evan is hurt.

You and me both.

"It puts the lotion on its skin..."

Something involving blowtorches, corkscrews, and jagged metal shoelaces?

This is almost as good as the crazed Felix comments.

Crap. I'm missing a heck of a game here.

BJ Upton's favorite eyeglasses

Heh.

There's a Simpson's joke in here.

This is my favorite running joke all year long.

BJ Upton is a diagnosed narcoleptic but he's usually too lazy to fall asleep.

I find it likely that he has blue eyes.

I couldn't find a screencap of Homer in the jury

No DVDs?

Too much work

That's how I got the Krusty screenshot.

That was more worth it

Agreed.

BJ Upton's cat

Daring

LONGO HUSTLES HURT

Rick Ross is proud.

Well this game was over as soon as JJ came in

Putz in, game fuck ass balls

Somebody needs to redo the famous pic to say "PUTZ IN! GAME IN JEOPARDY!"

God dammit

Putz in, Game Over.

At least we don't have to change the wording

94mph over the middle of the plate

Putz is the new Matt Thornton.

Death spiral…

Matt Thorton terrifies me.

Well, Remember.

Putz’s mentor is Eddie Guardado.

I'll always like Eddie.

Both good Eddie and suck Eddie.

Ok well that was a strike

Based on clips I have seen of the dugout, Erik Bedard is a non-stop laughter machine

Bedard is pimp shit

He doesn't take his job seriously.

Reporters only get four questions because they're not funny

Something tells me Navi will be a hero

That was a ball

Pitch #2 was a strike

Even stevens

Viva a particular dead meme

Upton is too lazy to break bats, he'd have to walk to the bat boy for a new one.

GASSED

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM

Sit down!

Not too pretty there, Floyd!

Floyd blows chunks

WHAT

98

Beauty

Whoa.

So 97 and 98 in that AB

Hot diggity damn

BE A HERO NAVI

WHERE THE HECK DID THAT COME FROM?

We can trade him now!

Oh wait…

I would feel so much better with Upton up.

so he could lazily hit a lazy ground ball to Lopez?

Like he'd make the effort to go all the way to home plate carrying a big old stick of wood

Navarro makes me think of Madritsch

which makes me sadder than I was before.

I wish I didn't get capped before this game

Kaorikaze - August 7, 2008 reply

BJ Upton's favorite baseball event is the walk-off

;_;

Too much effort to leave the dugout

*Walk

*Strikeout looking

Requires too many pitches

Other requires swinging.

I didn't say he hit the walk-off

LEVANTATE GET UP

SIT THE FUCK DOWN YES

wtf jj

THUNDER

NAVARROWNED

JJ LIVES!

SIT DOWN YOU WEAK ASS MOTHERFUCKER

Those last two at bats looked good.

I'm gonna fucking Break my TV, Remote, Moniter, and Sister.

NASTY

These last few games have been sweet. 3 out of 4 anyway.

JJ!

Wow - Is J.J. back? Those last two AB's were.. just Wow.

seattlesundevil - August 7, 2008 reply

The simple answer is no

Yeah, not yet

But he just showed us that he can get there.

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm returning to pronouncing JJ's last name the proper way

Pootz?

Yeah

He’s no longer “putz”.

JJ putz the lotion on his skin or else he gets the hose again

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wow.

I take back the Thornton comment. JJ you still rock.

Averaged 98 MPH.

Then dropped that. Ouch!

YOUVE BEEN

No.

Clowns terrify me.

Yes

OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

WOWOWOWOW

MISPLACED!@@!

Acceptable.

This one hit a little close to home for you?

Actually I was intending to search for Bart's clown bed but Raul hit a walk-off and I got excited.

Acceptable.

Sweet.

Not particularly interested in draining TB's bullpen though.

Someone win quick.

When provoked BJ Upton doesn't charge the mound, he ambles toward it diffidently.

Well then....that was unexpected

BJ Upton thinks the time in his bedroom is blinking 12:00 o'clock

Ok these are funnier than the puns.

PLEASE DON'T START REGRESSING NOW WHEELS

Ibanez has been on fire

He’ll regress to cancel out Wheeler’s regression.

lol

SO WRONG ITS HILARIOUS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

wr9iong

This is still funny.

FELIX AND RAUL WIN AND PUTZ IS BACK

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WALK OFF ~~IN THE 8TH~~ 9TH

Holy crap that was awesome.

Well I'm slow but AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUCK IT DEVIL RAYS

You just got box'd from DRB

RJ loves me too much

Hey look, a fastball down the middle.

RAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLL!!

Raul is a freakin' manbeast.

YOU CANNOT STOP RAUL IBANEZ! YOU CAN ONLY HOPE TO CONTAIN HIM!!!

DAVE GOING NUTS

BTW Niehaus absolutely lost his shit

If you can get his radio call on the official site later, listen to it.

It really was a thing of beauty.

BASEBALL IS FUN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH DAVE THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Celebrate you happy bastard!

Raul is such a beast

I hope you enjoy free agency buddy

I almost won't mind if Raul accepts arbitration.

Woah. Let's not get rash here

Seriously. Put him in at DH, and you're paying a reasonable price for one year.

Besides, I just plain ol’ LIKE Raul. That still counts for something in my book, even though I’m pretty stat-oriented.

Yeah I hear you.

I’m just worried that next year will be the collapse year. Then we don’t get picks after because he is terrible

It wouldn't be the end of the world if he was our DH

Who's he gonna take ABs from?

Joh? Looks good to me

CKel - August 7, 2008 reply

It could be a no lose situation right there

One step closer to price.

ho ho ho

great game. I hate to do this against the Rays, but wtf, great game.

that was fun.

Well, this suked.

As far as big GIFs go, this isn't so bad.

I appreciate the letterbox format.

STILL LARGE

Don't worry

Silva vs. Shields tomorrow.

As a Mariners fan, happiness only lasts until the next shitty starter takes the mound.

::sigh::

seattlesundevil - August 7, 2008 reply

Wrong

Awesome, rec for Herman usage.

He lives in Sarasota which = SRQ

and used to go to my Dad’s hardware store and jerked off in the local movie theater.

SRQman - August 7, 2008 reply

So, we invade DRB, they lose on a walkoff. They invade us, they lose on walkoff, to us.

I am 2-0!

Is it just me or have the M's gotten caught in a few good games lately?

Nice point

The entire week has been filled with good games.

Bwahahahahaha

Oh cruel irony. Fiddlecat has been turned on his masters!

Yet you have 9=8 in your sig.

My love for the Mariners far surpasses my love for the Rays.

do you have a link to the other gif that's like this?

The KKK-mouse looking one?

dpseadv - August 7, 2008 reply

It's fun when new people get exposed to these things.

BJ Upton enjoyed that

Somebody needs to get a link to Dave's radio call.

Agreed

It will take awhile for the game to be archived & searchable (longer than for the TV feed)

But yeah, that mp3 would be a fun one.

I'm already running the loop through my head over and over and I didn't even hear it

If you tune into the radio feed right now I'm almost certain you'll hear it.

They’re going to play it on the postgame recap for sure.

Also, funny: the only video highlight of the entire game turns out to be Raul's walk-off.

I only care for footage of the final three at bats

Just heard it on the post-game show.

Pure gold. It’s been too long since he’s been able to do that with any real emotion.

http://marinerswin.ytmnd.com/

VERY APPROPRIATE

wow, i voted that a 5!

RafaelCarmona22 - August 7, 2008 reply

Well, that worked out well.

Steak dinner AND a Mariner victory.

Also, so JJ’s evil twin JJ Ayala finally left?

eponymous_coward - August 7, 2008 reply

I want my game recap, dammit.

Jeff, you don’t have permission to sleep.

I don't think I've ever churned out a decent recap in an hour

and this game calls for a decent recap.

I just hope the WPA chart has witty photoshops and hilaripus captions

Great games bring out the best in you.
