Lookout Landing

Woooo!!!!!

Sounds much more painful that a groundball out. Plus, you get to visit multiple infielders during the groundball out, so that is more social and democratic.

Woooo only three games with the Red Sox at Safeco next year!

Three games of douchebaggery is enough.

A two game series would have been great.

I honestly don't care.

What are you, a rock?

Only temporarily.

I take that back

A team built for the monster would be illsuited top play in Safeco. This sucks.

Red Sox games have been the highlights of the season for the last 3 years

I hate those games and I've posted my reason as to why before.

I can't remember them offhand but I bet they are flawed.

Couple RSN douchebags dumped their beer on me.

Cheap beer, no less.

I bet it will happen every single time.

Fuck being rational.

Only if you wear a Red Sox jersey and follow him around the games with Bud Light.

I miss the wide WE% charts

July 23 was hot but not as hot as July 22

All three days made me want to die

I was at the Gorge both days

it was 110+ the first day and slightly cooler the second

I went hiking up by Denny Creek and it was still 100 at 4,000 ft

There were no trees and I was way too excited to leave my seat to get water during the 3 hour show.

Stop giving up homers you stupid cracker.

Who's a cracker?

Billingsley?

Wellemeyer

I see

Yuni steal?

Twas the silliest double steal to date.

He was nearly split in twain.

You blow Loafie

Stop that, Riggles.

The hit in run is the worst play in sports

Worse than running an end around on Quarterback Club 99

I love this team

You need to dye your hair black.

Rays up 8-2.

Suck it, Boston.

Is anyone getting a weird chirping sound on their FSNNW feed?

False

I am not

Strange.

Cricket noise?

Yes.

Hmmm

Are you hearing that too?

Yeah

At least I'm not the only one.

Oh crap, could it be the LHC?

And when does LHC become a dead meme? When it swallows us all?

Gordon Freeman will save us all.

Or Morgan Freeman.

God will work through Gordon.

RRS: 90-94 MPH?

I wish…

There's nothing more annoying than when and announcer calls RBIs "Rib Eye Steaks"

Good God that's awful.

I particularly hate Mark Grant’s reference to “White Castle sliders.”* Mostly because White Castle doesn’t exist in San Diego.

*I have only heard this one time.

Teej - September 17, 2008 reply

Stop pitching up there.

<3 curve

Fuck you, David Ortiz.

Someone argued (seriously) with me tonight that Ortiz was better than Pujols because he had twice as many rings.

Sounds like the fellow over at FG

who argued that Brady is a better QB than Manning because Brady has more rings.

That’s as stupid as results-based analysis gets.

Ummm, call me when it's been five years since Brady had a huddle. Manning is the shit.

Luis Sojo is four times better than Albert Pujols

Bahahaha sit the fuck down Tui you're my new Cirillo.

Nomar Garciaparra hurt again

he got Snelling’d by Larry Bowa.

Finally some good news for the Dodgers

Playoff odds should hit 99% today

assuming they win and Arizona loses.

Well shit

Adam LaRoche seems to own Billingsley today.

Yay Ichiro.

GOD DAMNIT LOSE

No don't

105 losses seems so much cooler than 100

Sit the fuck down again, Tui.

You too, Ortiz.

Koren Robinson is on the Seahawks?

What the fuck

How did you miss this?

Ruskell signed him yesterday and traded for Keary Colbert right afterwords.

Still baseball season

You follow the Mariners and the Cardinals.

Yes.

i can’t be assed to care about football on any non-Seahawks game day til November

God I hate your type of fan

I'm going with Robert on this one.

Some people just like watching the games.

I have my brain power so devoted baseball it’s kinda fun just to kick back and watch football and basketball without the need to second guess every move.

Tell football not to happen during baseball.

Notice how they don't have Sunday night games during the World Series

No?

Jl, I've been thinking about it...

If the world began in 1984, none of your favorite bands exist, and you’re likely stuck listening to Ashlee Simpson and/or the Jonas Brothers.

Ugh. Have fun with your world!

I have enough early 90s to present day rock to tie me over.

But none of that exists without the 50's, 60's, and 70s.

You should know about time paradoxes by now.

I guess I sort of am a time paradox!

Depending on the week of the WS the NFL will skip sunday night games during week 7 or 8

Over / under on how many passes he drops?

He seems to have fixed that while he was with Green Bay.

Besides, D-Jack isn’t around to encourage him to drop passes anymore.

Welcome to yesterday

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Only 1 behind

We need to go 5-7 to get there and I think we're gonna make it.

I'm shooting for 105

Because lots of teams win 100 but only the really good ones win 105+

Being ther for a 105 win season followed by a 100 win season

There’s really no difference.

...besides having multiple deserving MVP candidates

Well fine I want to be the worst in team history

C'mon Gil

Hits-o-meter?

Ichiro clearly won't reach 200 hits.

Mike Blowers needs to be killed.

IF HOWARD HADNT SUCKED SO BAD IN APRIL THE PHILLIES WOULDNT NEED TO MOUNT A COMEBACK IN SEPTEMBER. GOD. HOW CAN YOU BE SO FUCKING STUPID. YOUR HEAD SHOULD BE FORCABLY REMOVED AND YOUR EXECUTIONER SHOULD DELICATE DOWN YOUR NECK HOLE

I plan on being very defecate with your fine china

Did someone order the pupu platter?

Spellcheckowned again

I'm just saying...

but you’re using the same logic that Baker uses here.

“Ichiro is in decline/ is terrible/sucks/destroyed this team’s playoff chances by having a bad April.”

No I am mocking it

His overall numbers do not warrant consideration, let alone serious consideration.

The sports writers have different standards than you.

The sooner you come to terms with this, the happier you will be.

Blowers isn't a sportswriter

Blowers uses many of the same criteria that the sportswriters use.

I'm allowed to be angry abot the MVP since it only comes up once a year

and should actually matter.

If players didn't have bonuses in their contracts for winning MVP

…would it really matter?

Or ignore the sportswriters. That works too.

If I don’t see Geoff Baker’s writing, I can’t be pissed off about it.

I can't wait to read Jeff's eulogy of Baker.

I don't actually think Jeff has all that big of a problem with Geoff

No, but can you imagine the hilarity of it?

Didn't he already write it?

We were discussing this in yesterday's game thread.

I think Scrappy should write it.

Thanks for reminding us, Dave.

At least we won't get snowed out next April.

Is that really a negative?

Says you.

You expect us to get snowed out in Minnesota, indoors, in Seattle, and in California?

Yes.

That would be fun

It snowed inside of safeco on opening day

I was there and I remember the game being canceled.

The funny thing about this joke is that if it was true than Bedard wouldn't have had the chance to fuck up his hip

There's always his next start.

We don't use JJ and break him

GOD THAT GAME SUCKED

*game after

JJ gave up a hit on opening day thus destroying his seal of invincibility

Stop trying to ruin my happy memory of this season besides the Jeffie two FB game.

This was the worst opening day since 2004

That's the only one I can remember since 2001 because fuck day games.

List time!

Ones that I’ve watched:

1.2007
2.2001
3.2005
4.2006
5.2002
6.2008
7.1999
8.2004
9.2000
10.2003

2007 was like sex out of a cannon

I forget what happened

The best game of felix's life

That was in Boston

I was at opening day so no

And Jeff those picture thingies that said his start against oakland was better

Now I remember

I was on hold with MLB tech support the entire game.

My original tickets for that game were way the fuck up in the 300 level.

I then scalped my way to a seat behind home plate.

Yuni will get curious and accidentally start the snow-making machine

And then we’ll all laugh into the night.

ZOMG WHO REMOVED THE BOTTOM OF GIL'S FACE?

chinn - September 17, 2008 reply

what's wrong with his chinn?

Rays up 8-3

And I realize this is probably massively late but fuck it

Massively late.

Keep swinging Wlad

Scrupio - September 17, 2008 reply

Damn I wanted to see a takeout slide.

The Pirates have Doug Mientkiewicz on their bench and he's be out 4th best hitter.

So RRS is bad at throwing strikes.

Pretty much

I want a home run now

We can wait until RRS leaves.

....buh?

And play that doesn't end with Yuni lying on his back wheezing is automatically shocking.

Yuni is good at defense again

SSS

HAHAHA yr a fag

Yuni?!?

Slurvey - September 17, 2008 reply

Freddy Garcia pitches for the Tigers?

Yeah, he's been decent today.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

So Ben Sheets is broken again

It's too late for me to be happy.

>:(

I hate life

Sit the fuck down once more, Tui.

I'm beginning to think that you might dislike him.

I irrationally hate him as much as Robert irrationally loves him.

Don't you hate him because Jeff likes him

This confuses me.

hates him*

I hate Tui because he's not Adrian Beltre.

Therefore, I’m going to hate every third baseman we ever have until Triunfel gets up here.

Sadly, the Times reports we may try and transition him to short....

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

Tui?

No. I would be okay with that.

Truinfel. Said so in their weekly farm report. I think it may be BS tho.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

He's already playing SS

...You'd be okay if Tui played short?

Welllll, I think he'd be better than Yuni, honestly.

He;s still kind of a disaster tho.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

I think he'll be good eventually.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

He was good in HS at Short

NOT saying HS is ANY comparison to major or even minor leagues….

But Truinfel isn't Beltre

When did I say any of this was rational?

Beltre gets too much love around here.

Overrated faggot needs to go hell

*Ottawa

*Finland.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

whoosh

I feel like I should be defensive of them here

So if you could kindly desist when I say stop than that would be just wonderful

Huh?

Oh

GO SENS GO?

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/9/17/616613/9-17-open-game-thread-part#8818376

You know there are less asshole ways of quoting people

Incorrect.

Somewhat correct, but it doesn't bother me.

Adrian Beltre has been my favorite player since 2004 so I don't think it's possible for him to get too much love.

I agree.

Rationality is irrational.

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

Nice work Yuni.

Let the collapse begin.

Bunting here would be retarded

Exciting!*

But they;re the Royals, remember?

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

The ' key is hard to find

Yeah, yeah...

.Taylor - September 17, 2008 reply

Here comes a loss!

Extras?

Only if we can lose during them

We have a record to chase

Extras!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Eh, not a complete disaster.

Why oh why do you take Hyphen out...

I love our bullpen
It seems this always happens when RR-S is pitching (among other times too)

YES YES YES

YOU MAGNIFICENT FOOL

TITS IN!

Bring on the Beluga...

Explain this joke to me

I am Beluga Tits?

To the suck-signal!

Not bad

I had to do it really fast and covertly, the streaks on the symbol aren't right.

as someone that reads a LOT of Batman ...

this is really cool!
if only it was used in a good year… about a good player.

at least we'll make it to 100

104*

,

Yikes.

I just want three digits.

It’s like hitting .199

Retarded 17 yr old Robert was excited to avoid that in 2004

I was pissed that we missed because I called it in May.

I just didnt want people at disneyworld to mock me the next week

.

He writes/closes books.

YESYESYES

SHANK SINGLE

Whatever happened to that jpeg of he and Hargrove?

give me a minute

,

How have I never seen this?

New to LoL

Yay

Whoever came up with the yellow wallpaper background was brilliant.

It's like the Winter Meetings were held at a Bed and Breakfast

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA NUMBER TWO HUNDRED IS AN INFIELD SINGLE

SUCK IT BAKER

If you want him to hear you

you’ll have to send him a letter bomb

This comment did in fact elicit a chuckle from me.

Anthrax works too but is less theatric

I thought he wasn't gonna make it.

I was worried when we talked about it at the Premium LL get together

The only time I was ever the third most knowledge fan in the room.

The only time we only talked about baseball

It was quite ironic I will say.

Indeed.

I bet it was profoundly interesting for everyone not talking too.

SHY.

I felt kinda bad.

But not too bad

Others were kind enough to ask me if something was wrong.

I assumed you were just in awe of me

In a jaw-dropping, I can't believe this person exists in reality sort of way.

If that refers to what I think it refers to then yes, I am still in awe.

Yay effort!

I wouldnt be getting hit

Yeah me too.

I'm assuming I am not one of these others

Once you left I was more uncomfortable than I have ever been in my life.

I'm sorry; my family missed me for some reason.

your children dont matter to you apparently

mummy didn't read us babar last night and i couldn't sleep because of the spooky ghosts under my bed

eek!

Careful, the monsters under your bed are drooling.

Well now you're actively encouraging it.

Alright now this is just piss poor parenting

I also have a homicidal psycho jungle cat I'd like to introduce you to.

Needs more clown bed

Not appropriate reference.

Why not?

I bet Robert gets it.

I hate all these inside references.

CALVIN AND HOBBES IS NOT A FUCKING INSIDE REFERENCE YOU TWATSICLE

That's better.

I never read it.

What

This is incomprehensible to me.

That is worse than never having seen the Simpsons.

At least there’s the “don’t watch TV” excuse where the Simpsons are involved.

Don't read the comics?

But.

But I’ve never heard of someone in this age group who hasn’t read C&H

Not a valid excuse.

Collections are available.

Plus Google.

This like never learning to rise a bike.

Wait…

*ride

That Santo Palo getting to you?

Not nearly fast enough.

Although I haven't stood up yet.

Try it.

Yes

That was the result or...

huh?

It appears to be affecting me.

I'm seeing that now.

Now go ride a bike.

This is impossible.

It might work now.

I don't have access to a bike.

Or boltcutters.

Dynamite?

I can think of better uses if the answer was yes.

Hmmm.

I’m intrigued.

...

...

...

...

And others.

You're going to end up in prison some day.

Someone’s going to take one of these ideas and run with it.

SATIRE!

Way to cover your ass.

Mama didn't raise no fool.

And really, like anyone that's not a LL regular could make sense of this subthread.

They'd stop reading because it's too squished.

Or assume we're a bunch of fascists.

No room for the nazi picture here.

I can't make sense of this subthread

I would tell you how you could, but it might threaten my freedom.

Drink more.

I've got two bombers, but they're for later.

at least you have a plan.

It seems to be working for me.

Too difficult

Matthew posted a full collection torrent here back in 06

Before I was here

Definitely not a valid excuse because you know plenty that happened before you were here.

Yeah but I didn't read every single comment.

Youngins

My drummer owns the hardbound anthology.

I plan to steal it from him.

I'm buying it soon

Good, someone for me to steal it from.

It's fantastic.

I kinda figured.

I just have money now, which is a change from a month ago

Never said it was a valid excuse.

Kirsten Schlewitz - September 18, 2008 reply

Trying to read this part again this morning is hurting my head.

Do you want to sleep on the couch with Robert?

Oh wow

*cage

I will only settle for the cage if Jeff is somehow invovled

i'm so sorry jeff :( )

He's really sorry

for this and only this

nothing else has been done that requires being sorry for

Uh huh.

Cage requires Jeff.

Someone has to arrange for me to be threre when this happens.

I think it will be a permanent fixture in his living room.

*at

It's a public reference.

+20 for a Babar reference

It’s this close to another Rax joke.

You hadn't been adopted yet.

Not that you have been at this time, now that I think about it.

Not your fault; I need to get over it.

Probably.

It is hard to introduce yourself to people sitting below you.

Silly

Was an awkward angle!

I didn't know what to say!

(I'm trying to make myself look less lame.)

(This is generally exceedingly difficult.)

I like how you insult yourself before anyone else needs to.

Defense mechanism.

Years of practice.

I was wondering who the hell you all were but introducing yourself to people behind you is even more awkward

I feel uncomfortable when others know more than I do about certain subjects

Or this.

I like picking their brains on as much as possible than use it against them at a later date

*Knowledgeable

I'm gonna be pissed if the Cougars win a game this season.

You guys are worse the UW 04

You think they could at least find a kicker

because they are a BCS school

San Diego couldn't muster a single run today

Suck it, Padres.

C'mon Triple...

Yay

Stupid Jose Fuckpez

Jose Fuckface

Hose Suckpez

All I can think of now is Jose Lopez in the Billy Ripken Fleer pose.

Fuckse fuckfuck

Nothing beats Thai Ice Tea

I just realized the most disgusting animorph would be Goatse Lopez

Why do you think these thoughts?

Why do you put them to paper?

Rec's mainly

Please don't ask these questions.

WHY DID I SEARCH THAT

I can't believe you've never seen it.

I've managed to avert my eyes

It’s not hard and I’m not curious

You searched Please Don't Ask These Questions?

I WISH

I will give you 100 recs for a lemonparty triumvirate

If I got banned I'd take you down with me

Like we arent all tied at the hip anyway

I'm not getting taken down with y'all.

You have powerful allies.

Ally.

I like misdirection.

I like not getting messages about my lack of power

I am comfortable being powerless.

Now that you've made this known it is going to be impossible form some people to resist trying to goad you into inferring that you do have power.

*for

As though that really made the sentence clearer.

Smartass.

Ban his ass!

I would never pretend I had such power.

Ban me for suggesting such a thing

How'd you like that, Fogel?

Fogel got it.

Never have I felt so powerless.

Why Lopez?

I wanted to lose in a 3-way game against the Nats and the Padres.

And both of them would be credited with 6 wins.
