No fake links to the PR thread?
Fucking hell can we lose already?
They need to get this guy over.

Why is there a popup telling me to click for great xxx action?
You should find out
I'm not sure if I like this suggestion...
That happened to me too.
It was on both Barbie Girl videos I watched
It's not a rick roll
Is there a rule against rick-rolling people here?
If not there should be
If you're bad enough at the internet that you get rickrolled it's your own fault
It's still not funny
Haddawaying would be more enjoyable
If there were rules against not being funny nobody would be allowed to comment ever
You had that one moment
This is pretty much the best owning of somebody after a rick roll

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

Fuck you.

I’m not an idiot.

But I'm afraid to find out if that is actually Rick ROll.
It totally is
I feel so savvy.

I probably shouldn’t.

Try googling the URL
Why would I do that?
Because that tells you if it's a rickroll without you being rickrolled?

Why the hell do you think

Nice try.
He thinks he's so clever.
This is so much better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnoaj8b2bGM

I;m not about to get RickRolled, pal.
Oh wait a minute.
It is one of the current at-bat songs of New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes and Cleveland Indians third baseman Andy Marte. Additionally, Arizona Diamondbacks Catcher Miguel Montero used this song in the 2007 season.
I want to see Figgins hit a home run.
I want to see Cairo hit a pinch-hit homer.
Assuminig we would still lose by a comfortable margin.
Twins look to have this one
Yipee!
Huzzah!
Oh wait there's two outs maybe not
THEY DID IT!!!!!
ALEXI CASILLA PUTS THEM INTO FIRST PLACE!
Maybe Griffey shouldn't have gone 0-3 like a retard
No balls, three strikes?
And destroy them on defense ...

probably

wheee

I want a tie in the Central and a three way tie for the WC

It would be the ultimate Extras! scenario

Dammit Fogel
Joe Nathan is ridiculously good and no one seems to notice.
Ron Gardenhire did.
He sure is expensive though.
But the wouldn't pay Santana
Ho ho ho.
That's not a pop up Physioc, that's just a fly ball
Need more Batista.
Youkilis is fourth in OPS+ ?
"And how about Detroit? They were supposed to be the best team ever!"

“In the history of baseball!”

Because, you know, who needs pitching?
Turns out building an offense based on guys repeating fluky .330,.340, and .360 seasons

wasn’t the best idea.

That looked smooth.
This gamethread is dying slowly.
go beavers!
Judging by the username, are you a Cleveland fan?
no, my name is for the winning pitcher for the only m's game i ever went to.
Jake Peavy - walking the world.
Don't sweat SD
This site would have melted down if we were in the nationals shoes today
speaking of melting down if we were in the Nats' shoes

http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/whatsontap/archives/149426.asp?from=blog_last3

Oh the PI blog...

Thank God LL rescued me from that terrible wasteland.

Didn't you technically save yourself?
Technically I was run out of the PI blog because I mentioned the term "skill set."
How did that work?
Geoff said he wouldn't appreciate any further posting from me after I put down Jose Vidro.
Seriously?
Yes.
Did he post that or did he e-mail you?

And what did you say about Vidro exactly?

Probably was one of Geoff's daily "bash a blog commenter" entry.
I said that he was a terrible DH.
Because he didn't hit for power.
Or hit period.
It was all me and Jeff and BrianL should give us money
Will you settle for me buying you and Jeff a beer in two years?
You poor soul.
If we clinch during the hopfest I plan on going from dunk to ultra drunk
I've been staring at that list for the past hour or so
I have no idea what to order
I've never heard of 3/4 of these

but a Bear Republic Racer 5 sounds enticing.

You should have #61 first
This seems like a trap
So a third beer
Sullivowned
Jeffersowned
Careful you might get a Sulliban
You know what this means?
Katal is more of a lightweight than me

I might order a pitcher and let the night really get crazy

That sounds like a challenge
WAY TO GO WLAD!
Vlad took 4 straight pitches?
YESSSSSSS
That was confusing.
Shouldn't it be a 4 base error or something?
Vlad Wlad what?
It needed help from Wlad! to go over the wall.
Yes.
I don't know what kind of moving pictures you have.
I heard the sounds.
Announcers lie and have bad sight lines.
Oh Vladdy

Kill us more.

GO GO GO ANGELS

PANTHER!!!!!!

We should have had a HH invasion.
I don't think that's a very good idea.
We would have been on the same side!
They're not very welcoming at HH.
I'm told there are hostility issues.
HOLY CRAP!!!
Did you visit?
No, somehow my response to giant Gerald Laird re-posted up here. I avoid HH 100 percent of the time.
Thank goodness; I was about to worry.
How did that not call for an instant replay?
I don't even know what happened
Clearly it was out
Didn't seem very clear
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7145

Ughhhhh…..

His face....
He'd look better sideways
Would you like to do the honors?
I'll pass.

This time.

Most people would.
Hussy
Does it feel strange having a new uncle every Friday?
I regret hitting send on this
That made me laugh.
I wouldn't mind waking up with sideways Gload.

He’s so happy!

Have you been here this entire time?
SQUEEZE SQUEEZE SQUEEZE

The one on the right looks like a cobra mongoose
Dear sweet Jesus.
That, inexplicably, makes me want to burst into tears.
I can't sleep without getting my Green
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No fuck he was out
STRASBURG HERE WE COME!!!!!
Good luck in the battle with the Nats for first round draft pick.

:)

It's so exciting to be in a race again!
WTF!

He was out thank god they don’t do replays on that.

He slid around the tag.
.....wha?
Could've had a better pun than close the book on Messenger.
SLIDES HIS HAND IN
Sean Green is 5.2 Innings from tying Erik Bedard for the season
That makes me want to crawl into a ball and weep.
De La Rosa vs. Zito is surprisingly entertaining.
How on earth did Kenji block that pitch?
The power of Nintendo.
`

Is that Neal Cotts?
I look like him!
I like to think of Gallagher's necklace as a rat tail
There is no way that's how Sean Gallagher smiles
Green seems rested
At least he gets to face left handers
So JJ has more than a K per inning now.

Hope!

So it turns out I'm super thrilled the Nats got cancelled
De-Fault!
The two sweetest words in the English language
Fuck this guy he drinks Starbucks every day and listens to Kurt Cobain while committing suicide
Committing suicide every day.
in the rain!
fuck it

That should have been a reply.

while using a microsoft made music device
At least that wasn't a god damned double play
Can we have Jorge De La Rosa?

PLease?

Thank you.
You had a chance for humor here and you let it pass

He looks like a really scary thumb with a hat
I like the way his eyes twinkle
Perhaps he has a child on the way.
I would have tested to see if Mods have size restrictions
hahaletsaskmsjeffamirite
Sideways is better
So much better this way.
my apologies, i honestly thought i hit resize upon hosting.
He looks so small now.
And yet, so much more comical.
It's gone.

PHEW!

It's gone!
Goodness that was scary...
I almost needed a change of pants.
He sure got Figgy with that grounder
Bahahaha.

Fogel you humor me.

Johjima

Don’t you try that hero nonsense again.

PLEASE FAIL JUST LIKE YOUR BROTHER HAS IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS MATTHEW
Don't say anything you can't take back
You leave Marques out of this.
He sucks
Alexi Yashin had charming good looks and style
He married a model
Pavel Bure is my hero
You should take better care of your knees
Does every washed up superstar end up on the rangers?
Actually yes
That sounds like a team I want to share a division with

Do we?

Pointlessly hypothetical?
I actually don't know the answer to this question and can't be assed to reach for google
But I loved him :(

Unlike his shitfaced brother.

Like I give a crap about UW's football programme
GO STICK YOUR DICK IN A CAT CUNT
Brutal.

Calling him a man.

I just figured this out. I thought you were referring to Mr. Carruth.
Took me a second, too.
So how much better is A-Rod compared to Joe Mauer?

Because I have no idea who’s going to win the AL MVP

Sigh... I don't care.
The Rangers came in second place

That’s all the excuse I need to vote for Hamilton.

I don't think A-Rod has a chance with the Yankees missing the playoffs.
This will be the first time since 1989 the AL league leader in homers will hit fewer than 40.
There's no traditional clear cut MVP candidate.
I am so terrified it's going to be K-Rod.
ah shit you're right
It gives those morons an excuse.
They could win 90 games

but point taken since his numbers aren’t “eye popping”

PANTHER!
I hate those fuckers for what they did to Darby Crash's legacy.
HOLY SHIT OREGON STATE!
I don't know why you seem excited. Aren't you a duck?

But yay Beavers!

I am a Duck...but I hate USC more than Oregon State.

And I hate UW more than Oregon State..it’s a weird situation down there at UO.

Hot diggity damn amazing.
Oh yea before I forget...

SIT THE FUCK DOWN TUI!

Like a true Tuiasosopo
Like a truey Tui?
I wish I had written something else.
That was Fogelesque
I have rhyming issues. I spend all day with 2 year olds.
Your mom's next child will be Fogelesque
White and retarded?
Complete degenerate?
A complete badass?
Clammy.
Now I'm less "meh" about being referred to as Fogelesque.
Except for complete badass, it didn't seem complimentary.
Ah well. It's my own fault.
Has trouble with pier recognition?
I will not be Corco
I enjoy watching Vlad run almost as much as I enjoy watching Yuni run
It looks incredibly painful.
I enjoy watching Vlad play more than I enjoy watching any other player
You would think people of their color would be good at it
I LOVE THE WAY IT TASTES
WOOHOO WILD PITCHES!
I think we're in pretty good shape.
Stupid Beavers and their pre jack of a Gatorade bath
I smell Gatorbait!!!
WOOOO GATORS

CHAMPS A COUPLE YEARS AGO!!!! WOOO! CHOMPions!

Fuck you Matthews be older
That was the worst pun ever.
According to my ESPN crawl Sheets has an elbow problem.
It's only the bottom of the seventh?
Yes?
THis game needs to end.
I could go another 7 innings
I as well
Fuck you
Yuni has retorted for me
Does your offer to box Fogel if we go to extras apply today?
I kind of box him whenever I want and don't need a reason
I like the manner in which you assert your authority over this blog.
Watch out or he might start his penalty experiments with you.
This would upset me

but if it’s for Jeff’s amusement, I will come to terms with it.

The naxi's experimented on the undesirables

AHAHAHAH!

I clicked on the OK button, thinking it was for me.

Fuck you
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The National League will probably field 3 90 win teams

Welcome back to almost being a competitive league!

GOD DAMMIT YUNI
That was unexpected.
FUCKFUCKFUCK YOU FUCING SILLY AIDS RIDDLED MONKEY
I CAN'T EVEN TYPE RIGHT BECAUSE OF YOU, ASSHAT
You can't type right because your wrist is broke
Actually the doctor put me in this nice soft cast that allows me to type fairly well.
Arredondo looks like a less mutated Ezequiel Astacio
bwhahahahahaha
Oh you stupid motherfucker
AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH FUNK YES
Back to Cuba you fuck face
Yuni is an asshole.
I hate this team more than ever.
What, does this team have pride now or something?
Only because it pains us
Fuck..not Jeremy Reed..he seeems to always do well now..fuck this guy.
He looks skinny these days.
The bizarro GTE the past few night has been incredible.
DON'T YOU DARE GET A HIT YOU PLAYER A LOOKALIKE
Manny's big ass tear lasted the entire time he was in LA

huh

who’d a thunk it

OH! I saw Batista in the pen this will be fun.
Did you? Wheeee!
Need more Batista!!!
How dare you use my slogan!
I was just gonna say need more tits but umm....yeah

Where shall i send your 43 cent copyright fee? ;-)

Well, we can always all use more tits.
OH MY GOD WHY MY EYES ARE LITERALLY BURNING
It was that bad?
Yes, and it was bad the first 73,000 times too.
73,001now.
Too bad they put in COrky.
Or as my bro calls him, "Tractor-Pull"

Should havenever shared that article about Corky with him haha

The Garcia trade is paying off in spades!
Olivo homered off of us >:(
So the FLA v WAS game was rained out and will not be made up.

This means we have to lose an extra game.

Dammit.

No it doesn't, it means they lose their tiebreaker
...based on last year?
oh never mind
Oh... well fuck me.
Nope.
That's one fewer win
DO. NOT. WANT.
Sinbad makes me feel sad.
So the FLA v WAS game was rained out and will not be made up.

Dammit.

Fuck. No supposed to re-post
No it doesn't, it means they lose their tiebreaker

DO. NOT. WANT
I hope you mean at the price he would command

because not wanting Lincecum is wrong.

I had that ready to go.
I can't believe he got to it.
That was actually really athletic
Damn straight it was
So is running on a treadmill for an hour.
So is running on a treadmill for an hour.
Extras anybody?
No I just want this game to end
No extras, please.
Fuck no

If this goes extras I’m not writing a damn thing.

You're already a night behind
Especially on the 100th loss thing too
I meant the Jeffie two funk blast game
and weekend in review
What ever happened to that anyway
Bavasi got fired during my flight home
He's been fired for 3 motnhs
Talking about Bavasi takes precedence over talking about Robert
Other people did amusing things too
You totally checked out those milfs
It's gonna be a long offseason
Sigh.
Paint review was more amusing.
The number 100 is no more relevant than 99 or 101
premeptive fuck you
Damn.
smarter than the average bear
I agree..but it means so much to us. For some of us it was 100 for some it was 104
Sometimes a man wants to make Wednesday plans
We have needs too
I thought you wanted me to be happy
Unlike JI, I want you to be happy.
You shut us out

we’re trying to engage you

Your happiness takes a back seat to my amusement.
Evidently it does not
You have your priorities straight; so do I
I would be so much happier if I didn't blog
:(

:(

Is the fact that you're appreciated make it all worthwhile?
This is why I don't blog
You damn right you don't
He doesn't even be Graham anymore
I shall miss Jeff the most :(
If it'll make you happy

walk out that door

I will write the recap for you
This could actually be entertaining.
No.

Nononononononono

Roboendorsed
It would be a wrap-up filled entirely with inside jokes that no one would get.
Let's not start this again.
You could have Graham write in a interesting role reversal
So who's on bottom then?
An extra helping of losses, sure.
I just want to sleep.

I hate this team.

This thread is surreal.
Are the Angels finally regressing?
Much like Ichiro
God, can you imagine wanting to watch the post game show after this tar pit of a game?
Wasn't his toe Mike
20 monopoly dollars says Valbuena hits a homerun this inning.
You're on.
Where do I send you the monopoly money?
Put it in an envelope and bring it to SU.

and stick it in a tree. and then I’ll send an envoy to get it.

SU?
Seattle University.
I will add another 20 monopoly dollars if I can an extension until Thanksgiving.
You're on.

And another twenty if you get hired as GM.

I will give you my dick in a parcel if your hired on as GM
Wrapped with a bow?

Deal.

fuck no i ain't no queer
My mistake then.
If I get hired as GM, I will give you season tickets.
Make it 50 monopoly dollars and I'll throw in a railroad too!
And a boardwalk.
That was an amazing impromptu Figgy commercial.
Is Bill Gates' email address really bill@windows.com?
No.
I believe it is, actually.
At least, this is what my buddy at Microsoft claims.

He’s often full of shit.

It shows it on one of those new, crappy Microsoft commercials.
I liked the Bill and Jerry commercials far more.
I legitimately enjoy those commercials
Hey, I don't know your taste in beer.

But that Racer 5 was awesome. Had a pint last week, I literally said “Whoo!” after the first sip.

That's good to hear

I know nothing about Racer 5 except the name. How would you describe it?

Hops! Without a crushing acid bitterness at the tail end.

I had another, go in trouble for it with the wife. And it was worth it.

Thanks

I’m excited.

Talking about it makes me want to go back and get another.

I need to hit an Octoberfest this fall.

I think they tried too hard.

And Seinfeld’s humor is a thing of the past. But yes, more enjoyable than the other new ads.

At least they're not the Mac vs. PC ads.
But they are.

Just without any dialog other than “I’m a PC.”

So are we all.
I was just being contrary.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T END
That's mixed reference
Valbuena is just awful
He has a lot of upside.

OK, some upside.

Pujols only has 35?

Failed season

You haven't hit enough balls foul yet
This has extras written all over it...
God dammit this game is awful.
It's like watching Ibanez play left.
Except less cruel.
Frequently enjoyable?
That's it, I'm busting out the snacks.
I cannot get behind a curveballing JJ
He's striking people out
This is gonna be a loooooooooooooooong night.
Well that was gorgeous
DO YOUR GODDAMN DUTY MR. TEIXEIRA
This game needs a Ramon Vazquez injection
RUN WILLITS RUN
MISS JOHJIMA MISS!
This is all Yuni's stupid fault
YESYESYESYESYESYESYEYS
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
FUCYESWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well I'll be damned.
Wow I can't believe he actually hit that pitch out.
There we go!
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH THANK GOD THANK YOU GOD!!!
This is so much better with the Angels broadcast
Why was I scared?

They’re happy like me

I'm still scared.
They seemed strangely indecisive at first for a ball that was clearly gone off the bat
Whereas our guys were demonstrably thrilled from the beginning.
YES YES YES ALL OVER MY FACE
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
Oh noes
This has been an excellent gamethread after the crackdown

Bravo Mr Sullivan

I can't stay mad at Vlad for that
JJ's curveball is really good
I missed 2004 JJ
I miss the splitter of certain destruction.
He threw it to Anderson like two minutes ago
I miss it showing up more often.
I'm not watching the game. Is he really throwing his "curveball" again?
Throwing the hell out of it
!#%#%@%#%^#@ !! @#@#@#!! That was such a suck pitch for him.

I heard he put back into his game earlier in the season for a game or so, I hoped to never see it again.

It's really bad
I'm worried about his elbow. Or his arm.

Something ain’t right with that guy.

I still love you JJ please don't feel bad
JJ = rad!
No Rodriguez tonight :(
No K-Rod?

GAY

There is hope!!!!!

Of not having to sit through extras
Go JJ? Yes JJ?
I do miss the old JJ but at least he is *helping? the team right?

So I am becoming more and more convinced that JJ is just broke
Broke forever?
I think he has plenty of money
Shut up Fogel
Go to sleep. It's clear you need it.
He's still effective for a broke pitcher.
Yes but he's not JJ
I bet he'll better with a full off season's worth of rest
That's my hope

seems like a good candidate to go next July.

Isringhausen had one last hurrah after an injury that hurt his command

so here’s hoping

and yeah you absolutely have to trade him if he bounces back and you can get value

I am greatly discouraged by the return of the curveball
I used to hate JJ so much before he was awesome
He certainly doesn't look like '06-'07 JJ.

Then again, other pitchers have had down years. Hopefully he comes out of it.

Here's hoping someone makes a half-way decent offer for him this fall
I wouldn't count on that happening and I don't think I'd want to trade him at a value trough anyway
SD is close to being eliminated
Whoever sponsored the Mike Scioscia B-R page rocks my socks
Haha, excellent.
That was you
Because that's something I would do
Your website is the sponsor

with a link leading to said website

Because that would be impossible for someone to fake
They should really have a verification process.
I just think it's funny now
If HH wasn't full of morons it would be less amusing.
Seems like alot of work for somebody not you
I can't believe he wasted our donation money on that.
This is why I lead NOLA, Fogel and you on a quest to find his address

so we could properly thank him with a basketful full of things covered with happy faces

I wasn't a part of said quest
Flagged
I tried to make that as outside as possible
We should have just donated.
This makes me nervous - for whom I'm not sure.
Jeff would be the likely answer
I don't know.

It rather sounds like we were going to deliver said basket in person, in which case, I’d be nervous for the deliverers.

I hope it was Eyebrows.
If Yuni repeats what he did hell's gates will open.
Magic number

2

Can we lose two games to Oakland?

I sure think we can.

Shit motherfucking yes.
LIGHT UP THE HALO

I could never get tired of this.
I am so glad you made this.
I could watch it for hours.
That's how I feel about Lawn Dart and Bad Angle
And the blinking announcer .gifs
The Loafie faceplant is underrated.
I can't decide if I should re-make it in normal speed

Same with the Perez faceplant.

I like it in fast speed

How does it look with the bow?
Somewhere in that dugout

Ozzie Guillen was laughing his ass off.

The amazing thing is that I did this in one take.
MAGIC NUMBER IS TWO
I will not miss the Angels.
I fucking hate this team
I totally think Billy Beane is the type of GM to purposely tank this weekend
I've been worried about that

Still, it seems unlikely and unrealistic.

Battle to a draw!
I hope we lock up the first pick on Saturday so I can actually cheer for this team
I've forgotten what this feels like.
Cheer for this team to do what?
Beat the enemy A's
Same.
Can't we do that tomorrow?
Seems unlikely
Not with that attitude
Turn that frown upside down.
I regret posting that.
A Nats win and Ms loss seals the deal.
Shit motherfucking bring it on yes.
Can we lock it up tomorrow?
Nationals fact of the day

With today’s cancellation, they’ll undoubtedly now have the lowest attendance for any team with a new stadium since Minnesota opened the Metrodome.
