Opening this up early because, hey, news.
Stung by a rash of blown calls in the playoffs, Major League Baseball is breaking tradition and sticking with only experienced umpires for the World Series.
...
In 24 of the last 25 World Series, the six-man crew has included at least one umpire working the event for the first time—baseball likes to reward newer umpires, plus replenish the supply of umps with Series experience.
Well this should solve everything.

Veteran grit isn't just for players, you know.
pdb - October 22, 2009
Hasn't it been veteran umps making the bad calls?
njpozner - October 22, 2009
Woo! Baseball!
Go Yankees so there can be no baseball for six days!
Yay pre-scheduling!
Morons.
Matthew - October 22, 2009
I normally find Colin Cowherd slightly annoying
But he was losing his mind yesterday morning about this subject, saying that the veterans were the problem. I can’t remember the exact thing, but he said something about thinking that guys who were 60 years old shouldn’t be officiating baseball…
section331 - October 22, 2009
Slightly?
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
He is occasionally informative and entertaining
But his delivery makes my teeth itch. Like the Tom Leykis of sports.
section331 - October 22, 2009
Umps
Considering I really don’t care which of the Angels/Yankees or Phillies win the world series, I would love to see the world series decided by a blatantly blown call by an ump (or a series of blatantly blown calls, culminating with a game 7 blunder). This would go a long way in getting MLB to start trying to find a way to fix the real problem, which is that it is impossible for human umps to not make mistakes.
We’ve already got a system for calling balls and strikes better than umps can do it. Now we need someone to develop a system for analyzing base running calls and catch / no catch, and foul/fair calls in near real time to give umps on the field instant feed back. I have a masters in computer science and I can tell you the latter set of problems are not easy to solve, but it also isn’t at all impossible with current technologies. Just needs someone cough MLB to put up the millions required to develop said system. They do that and hire the right people to do it and within 3-5 years we could have that system in place.
hiskeyd - October 22, 2009
That's a good call
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
Finally! No more bad calls!! Ever!!
gregrabble - October 22, 2009
That is so MLB of them to do
Clearly the problem is those young inexperienced whippersnappers
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
/Bruce Bochy nodding in agreement, drawls stupidly,
“Same thang with players. If’n yuh cain’t trus vetrin grit, wut cain ya trus?”
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
It's rare you hear a clever drawl anymore.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
As rare as excellent umpiring.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
You haven't been to Alabama, have you?
section331 - October 22, 2009
I wish.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Yeah, me too. :/
section331 - October 22, 2009
This is the big oen
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
one
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
Basedball!
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
IT SURE IS!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Are you sure
InSpokane - October 22, 2009
Wait a second, no Naps?!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Lackey <3 Mathis
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
How do I always forget that?
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Says the supposed Mariners fan.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
Hrmph
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Personal catchers are stupid. I'd tell Lackey to go fuck himself.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Make sure you get a video of it.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
But it's not like Naps has been tearing the cover off the ball lately, either.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
But still. This is all about me.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Napoli is 1/3 of a run better per game.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
You must be forgetting how Mathis won the last game for the Angels
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
This is the game we finally see Swisher on the mound!
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
I bet after he gets injured in the celebration the Yankees are really going to be needing to use position players
Robert - October 22, 2009
I don't understand
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
The more Yankees that get hurt in the post game celebration the less pitchers there are
Robert - October 22, 2009
Swisher is a position player
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
What if all the Yankees that get hurt are position players
Then the number of pitchers stays the same
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
But then pitchers have to play positions!
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Lay off this bit's mine
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Boring
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
I wonder
Could this be heaven?
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
It'll probably happen this offseason
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
How does this make any sense
Dewey N - October 23, 2009
Pitcher runs out of gas, huge deficit, out of position players
Poochie - October 23, 2009
I love that move.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Especially because Lopez had to run down a ball hit to the corner.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
I think you might be on to something!
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Dear god Teixera looks angry when he bats
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
He also looks douche-y.

Hey now!

McCarver-
“I don’t think the runners will be running”.
Then call them “standers” or “walkers” you troglodyte.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
Thunderstix look really dumb.
Why can’t you people just clap like normal folks?
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 22, 2009
What's wrong with them?
They make a better noise.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
The motion looks silly, and I want to make fun of Angels fans.
In the meantime, I actually want the Angels to win, so I guess life is just strange.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 22, 2009
I make a less silly motion trying to get a character to sprint
in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 22, 2009
I've never been to a game with the thundersticks
but they seem louder, with a deeper tone, and I think the motion looks pretty cool with a stadium full of people doing it.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
I agree with Dave Sims.
Clapping and yelling > thundersticks and towel waving.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Oh hells no Towel waving is awesome
Robert - October 22, 2009
Scarves are awesome-r.
section331 - October 22, 2009
I doubt you see this, as it's awfully late
But you do realize that’s what a Steeler fan would say, right?
Robert Lintott - October 27, 2009
I wish they made them shorter. I would feel silly banging together something the size of baguettes together.

I prefer it to all that fucking towel-waving.

Personally I bring an amplified Tickle Me Elmo to games.

No chatspeak here, my friend.
Thanks!
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
Fair enough.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
They all just did their nails. And it hurts to clap.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
I can't see the game
but that pitch sequence to Matsui was very pretty in Gameday.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
Looked okay from here, too
royalcurve - October 22, 2009

It’s going to be like that tonight, isn’t it.

Looks like Burnett is getting his suck on tonight.
section331 - October 22, 2009
So Burnett isn't going to record an out tonight is he
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
It kind of looks like he's recording one in that photo
And by “out” I mean “poop”.

The tie!
Dewey N - October 22, 2009
I thought you said Yankees?
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Yeah but if the Yankees win today there's no baseball for like months
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Might I suggest the Angels then?
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Baseball.
w00tah - October 22, 2009
I like to root for both teams to arrive to the apex of fail.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009

cwel87 - October 22, 2009
These appear to be the Angels I know.

Or the Angels you’ve known over the past few games?
section331 - October 22, 2009
The Good Angels!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009

Wow, I really hate both these teams.
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
Yeah, that's the majority sentiment.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Holy shit they were actually going to have Bucknor ump the WS?!?!
No wonder they changed their minds. Although doesn’t Joe West have a reputation for being pretty terrible too?

Oh, Aybar.

Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Joe Miller told us earlier that Aybar told him that his family pronounces it Ay-BAR.
Of course, Joe has gone back to calling him Eyebar

Jerking around is only $1.

I wouldn't think you'd sign on with an Angels fan.
I feel betrayed now.

Not true, it's red.

5 bucks, they cheating ya man.
I think you could find it for cheaper in Ballard or maybe Tacoma.
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
I only have $5
Can’t afford the drive to Tacoma. I am also dubious about Ballard “love”.

Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
The good news
Is that we got more baseball Saturday at this rate. And hopefully Sunday!
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
I thought they fixed the umpiring problem?
Eyeball Kid - October 22, 2009
I'm pretty sure they fixed the steroid thing at the same time.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
Good thing the veteran umpires or here or that would've been a blown call
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
are, or, whatever
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Another brutal call
They should just draw seat numbers and have random fans umpiring. It couldn’t be worse.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
Damnit Dale, you fucked up
NW-based ump too.
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
Actually the best outcome of this game now would be a fight
But both teams just attack the umps
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Doug Eddings isn't there, though.
I’d save the uprising for that occasion.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009 via mobile
Good call
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Isn't this the same Burnett who picked Ichiro off twice in the same game?
That was an insane jump.
drblacknwhite - October 22, 2009
MLB's bias is to have a game 6
Wonder if these umps know that.
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
Hahah I was sure they were going to call him safe back at third
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
I wouldn't have been the slightest bit surprised.
Sabean's_Folly - October 22, 2009
Now watch the announcers feliate Jeter for that play.
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
Joe Buck is in favor of replay and booth review umps

Hmm.
jumping on a catcher.

But it would require you documenting the tattoo and then writing a fanpost.

.Taylor - October 22, 2009
FUCK YOU.
Go baseball.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Sorry :(
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Alrighty.
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Lackey got jobed, but hahahaha.
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Thats one happy boat.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
I was thinking that too.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
What the hell?
http://welikesportz.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lackey.jpg
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
So THAT'S why Yu Darvish is so good!
section331 - October 22, 2009
RUNS!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Sadface :(
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
RUNS!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Yes.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Should've left in Lackey!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Ahahaha
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
I'm not sure if what just happened is irony or coincidence.
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Well Lackey isn't going to resign.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
OH SHIT LACKEY
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Someone's pissed
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Maybe if he weren't always such an asshole to his teammates they might not be so quick to blow his lead.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Oops
drblacknwhite - October 22, 2009
I think I am going to go away for a little while :(
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Oh Eyebrows
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
A translation:
Come on coach this is mine!
This is mine!
Are you kidding me this is mine!
Mike: GTFO
Lackey69sofine has left the chat room
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
I believe that was "are you shitting me this is mine"
Otherwise, yes
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
GO YANKEES
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
I can't believe I just said that. Time for catharsis.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
I'm sure Lackey is thrilled about that one.
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
I don't want to know what kind of shit fit Lackey's throwing in the club house right now
But I know it isn’t a small one.
Mr. Oliver has been good… I’m surprised he crapped out on this one
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
After seeing Lackey's reaction to Scoscia, it felt like fate
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
This is the only time I've ever felt sorry for Lackey.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
So I guess Tex isn't a choker anymore.
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
AL Manager of the Year right there.
svart aske - October 22, 2009
Woopsie
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Fuck this.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
BOOM!
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
KABLOOEY!!!!!
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Kablamo!
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Why didn't Adenhart carry Hunter to the ball?
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
Was drunk, got lost
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
I leave for ten minutes and now the Yankees are winning?
What happened?
Eyeball Kid - October 22, 2009
Danny Glover is off today.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Great, now we have to wait a week for more baseball.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Fuck the game of baseball
Why do I bother paying attention to it?
basebliman - October 22, 2009
Well not having baseball for 6 days is going to suck
But HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
I loathe this.
It’s the World Series. The fans are going to come. Stop scheduling it for the worst case scenario.
Matthew - October 22, 2009
This is not a pleasant anything, anymore.
well, I may done for the winter.
msb - October 22, 2009
Money always wins.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Like the last 8 seasons?
Matthew - October 22, 2009
Where they've been first in the AL East 6 times?
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Money wins divisions
It takes some luck to win the Series
Snowman1025 - October 22, 2009
Except the Mets
Snowman1025 - October 22, 2009
I feel bad for the small-market, low-payroll Angels.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Nice
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
The Red Sox had a higher payroll in 2007.
Do your research.
Robert - October 22, 2009
Nothing always anything
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Everything never apple juice
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Apples, blender, sometimes
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Just ask Bavasi
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Fuck this SHIT.
Fuck the Yankees.
Fuck the Angels…
But FUCK the Yankees.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
I am right now listening to a Yankees fan two floors below me yelling about how fuckin' funny this shit is
And how the Yankees had them right where they wanted them.
I can’t take this anymore. I need the Phillies to slaughter them.
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
If the Angels manage to turn this around
You have my full permission to throw a rock through that guy’s window.
section331 - October 22, 2009
WOO
gregrabble - October 22, 2009
This happened because of the non strike 3 call.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
That was such a bullshit call too.
It’s seemed like he’s been calling a wide strike zone all night and that was right at the knees and 3/4 over the plate. I would be pissed.
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
It was a perfect pitch
And beyond that, he should have not been pulled…for Darren Oliver…with the season on the line.
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
Hahahahaha Angels. Although I want them to win so we get 7 games.
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
This was a poor inning to fire T-shirts into the stands.
Let’s get the crowd riled up!
Teej - October 22, 2009
Please bring Joba in so he can blow this
drblacknwhite - October 22, 2009
Yes!
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Mathis!
section331 - October 22, 2009
Your friend Mathis is really my friend Mathis.
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
YES
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
I committed suicide by shooting myself in the mouth for 18 months and I am deeply offended.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
:(
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Noooo
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Z
for now
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
!
Robert - October 22, 2009
This is you not me btw
Robert - October 22, 2009
Aww you're cute.
If the Angels somehow win the World Series I will buy anyone with over 10,000 comments on LL a beer.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
deal, screenshotted
Robert - October 22, 2009
I'd better pad my comment count.
Two Rs and Two Ls - October 22, 2009
Is it one beer per 10,000 comments because if so you will owe me a six pack
Poochie - October 23, 2009
I hope it was all worth it for 6 beers
OlSalty - October 23, 2009
FOR YOUR SOUL
OlSalty - October 23, 2009
It was
Poochie - October 23, 2009
Surely you mean combined comments
Dewey N - October 23, 2009
Indeed
Poochie - October 23, 2009
YES YES YES
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Walkies!
section331 - October 22, 2009
It's the 7th, isn't it time for Angels fan to start heading home?
Matthew - October 22, 2009
That's the dodgers.
And don’t act like the Ms don’t do it either.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
M's are the worst, if anything.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
I would prefer not to be thrown under that bus, thanks...
section331 - October 22, 2009
I'm not.
I think my bitching at Mariner fans is well established
Matthew - October 22, 2009
In my experience Angels fans actually tend to linger more than Dodger fans
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Rally Monkey!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
EXTRAS?
skywaker9 - October 22, 2009
Okay, so....
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
So that was a really, really stupid use of the sac bunt.
And a really, really bad version of “call the outside strike to lefties.”
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Was it really that bad?
Figgins is not so hot from the right side, and it lets the Angels tie it on a hit.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Not terrible but I'm not a fan
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
It sure as hell seems like -WEXP to me.
But I dunno, maybe I should download GMZ’s manager game thing.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
SHIT DMZ
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
It is next to impossible to judge the merits of any individual bunt
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Newest entry
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
What the hell is Posada doing?
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
It looks like someone is tossing him a treat
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
He is NOT A DOG.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Well there goes my theory
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Not as good as sad Frankie.
But Posada is amusing.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Also
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Gosh I love this.
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Nothing will ever top sad Frankie because Frankie didn't move
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Is Scioscia weeping a tear?
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
YES!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Uh oh, it's VladdyDaddy.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
RUN RUN RUN RUN!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009

Teej - October 22, 2009
CARPETBAGGERS!
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
Oh please Vlad.... please.....
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
VLAD!
drblacknwhite - October 22, 2009
AHAHAHAH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
GOD WHAT THE FUCK
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Jeter has no range.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
I HATE THE ANGELS
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
SORRY EYEBROWS
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
WHEEEEE
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
BUT GOD
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
FUCK YES
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
THAT TIES THE GAME!???!??!
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
section331 - October 22, 2009
DISREGARD WOMEN, ACQUIRE CURRENCY!!!
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
I LOVE YOU JACK WILSON
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
This might be my new sig
JamMasterJesus - October 22, 2009
You're welcome, big guy.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
New life!
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Derek Jeter sucks at defense!
andrewgolfsalot - October 22, 2009
And hughes did not throw that high.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
As soon as I saw where that one was headed in relation to Posada's target
it was like “FUCK”
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
WHERE'S THAT HUSTLE DEREK
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Currently proving that trying hard doesn't equal playing well
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
WOOOOO JETER RANGE
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
Wasn't Phil Hughes suppose to be a good starter?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
I had a feeling it would go to shit when they sent Burnett out to start the inning.
Teej - October 22, 2009
That's very uninteresting
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
He looks like an AIDS patient.
Teej - October 22, 2009
I always thought he had more of a burn ward look to him
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
I never realized he was this skinny.
I can see the outline of every bone above his shoulders.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Everything is pierced
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Everything
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
IT'S THE ONE THAT SAYS BAD MOTHER FUCKER
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
OH FUCK MOTHERFUCKERS
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I am retroactively giving Best Commenter to whoever had the most votes and is rooting for the Yankees
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA BRING IT YANKEES
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
IT AIN'T OVER TIL IT'S OVER GIRARDI
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
Be good and maybe I'll let you lick my sash.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
This is why I voted for you
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
I can't believe I just sold out to the Yankees just to pull this election
A very proud moment for mother, let me tell ya.
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
You don't get to suck my dick for free anymore.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Nice work, fags.
andrewgolfsalot - October 22, 2009
baseball sucks
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
more specifically, Phil Hughes sucks
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
woo. angels.
JamMasterJesus - October 22, 2009
There is no god.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Maicer.... one more.....
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
COME ON EYEBROWS YOU LITTLE FUCKER LET'S DO THIS
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I'd still lick his brows though.
JamMasterJesus - October 22, 2009
Ok, it wasn't Joba, but that'll do.
MORE BASEBALL
drblacknwhite - October 22, 2009
It's only the seventh inning
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Oh, right.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Yeah, plenty of time. I haven't even activated my beers yet.
Teej - October 22, 2009
I'm having Jolly Pumpkin's witbier
it’s good!
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Fuentes still has plenty of time to do work
stupidquestions - October 22, 2009
GOD.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Whatever, you people are getting far too excited about this.
It’s pretty obvious that the game is going to end after A-Rod hits a 3-run homer to go ahead in the 9th.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Even if the home team got to set the rules why would they allow this?
andrewgolfsalot - October 22, 2009
I didn't say "walk-off" home run, now did I?
esoteric - October 22, 2009
"end after A-Rod hits a 3-run homer"
I guess you didn’t say immediately after. I’ll call this a truce.
andrewgolfsalot - October 22, 2009
"to go ahead in the 9th" is the operative clause here.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Yea, but end after is misleading.
andrewgolfsalot - October 22, 2009
The point is that A-Rod will hit a home run and the Angels will lose
and everyone will be happy
EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Good grief.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
EXCEPT ROYALCURVE
BUT THERE ARE SACRIFICES A MAN MUST MAKE TO USHER IN THE NEW ERA
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
You're going on the list.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Nixon, is that you?
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Stephen Strasburg got his ass kicked by nobodies
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
You sick bastard how could you be happy about this
esoteric - October 22, 2009
It's not a secret.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I want the Halos to win tonight as well. I want a seven game series.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
NO
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
NO
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
NO
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
KILL THEM NOW
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
NOWWWWWWWWWWW
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
LISTEN TO THIS MAN FOR HE IS WISE
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
By many indications you don't deserve to be happy
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Weaver time!
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Jered Weaver? That's cheating.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
God our bullpen blows.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
God now they're going to retire nine in a row
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Only need six, you tard.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Extras!
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Then that wouldn't be retiring nine in a row.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I love how Scioscia would rather burn his best starter than trust the pen.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Could be using him on his throw day maybe?
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Was it Saunders than pitched in Game 2?
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
that*
Because if so that makes sense
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Yeah.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
What? No it isn't.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Without the mullet he looks like David Eckstein's beanpole brother.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Awesome, Weaver
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
GOD I HATE BASEBALL
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
I bet you're extra cute when you're angry.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
You can't spell Temecula without cute
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
huh, you actually can't
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
but you can spell pacific beach without any of those letters
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
except "c" and "e"
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
PB is disgusting
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Congratulations!
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
I tried to tell him this.
I don’t understand.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I wanted to live in La Jolla but I got overruled
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
La Jolla is sterile.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
So it will never have children?
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Two dudes can't have babies, SB. Not yet, at least.
So it doesn’t matter where you live.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Adoption you insensitive fucker
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
You two will never truly be happy until you can have a child of your own.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
You obviously haven't seen the movie Junior.
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
But convenient and nice and not dripping with AIDS
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Yes.
I would prefer La Jolla to PB.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
That's like saying I would prefer Westwood to places
it doesn’t count from you
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Parts of PB are awesome.
You just have to head about six miles inland, which kinda kills the point.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Once you get past two miles inland, you're in Clairemont though
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Oops, I meant six hours.
Which is about a mile in a half if you’re driving in PB.
Teej - October 22, 2009
and a half
Teej - October 22, 2009
I live 1.5 miles inland
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Thus awesome!
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Good man!
Teej - October 22, 2009
Why would I ever want to live in that bar district?
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Why would you not?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Skanks and booze = Huge Win!
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Yeah, but you don't want to sleep in it.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Easier to get home with both though.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
No idea!
Teej - October 22, 2009
What does it say about Temecula that PB is a million times better than it?
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Yeah I get that it's still a massive upgrade
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
You could spell it with a lisp
Matthew - October 22, 2009
You can't spell it without cute male, actually
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
WINNER.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
GOD
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
I'm going to go point this out to my boring, single female roommate
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
ANAHEIM ANGELS BASEBALL MOTHERFUCKERS
Poochie - October 22, 2009
We get it already, Droid is supposed to be better than the iPhone.
So show it to us.
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
If Mike Scioscia brings Fuentes in for the 9th I will laugh out loud so hard that my neighbors will have to call the police to complain.
I can just see Scioscia doing it too. Weaver looks great.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
COME BOYS WE GOTTA HOLD ON FOR NICK
Poochie - October 22, 2009
Go sample the chocolate out of the garbage
Robert - October 22, 2009
Muahahaha!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
Reggie Willits in to pinch-run just in time to get picked off on some moronic baserunning play.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Why the fuck is Jeff Mathis in the majors
Poochie - October 22, 2009
Clearly they should bunt
Poochie - October 22, 2009
What is that white stuff on Joba's hat?
He must be doctoring the baseball!
Wilder. - October 22, 2009
Or douching it
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
No batting event is more pathetic than the foul bunt.
esoteric - October 22, 2009
Every time I see Joba and his hat, my hate towards the Yankees extends just a little bit more
I feel as though I’m not alone, either.
cwel87 - October 22, 2009
I can't believe they allow his hat to look that way
I thought the Yankees were all about professionalism and looking right.
stupidquestions - October 22, 2009
What the shit?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
The Yankees were down one run in 8th inning of a crucial ALCS game in the past
Robert - October 22, 2009
Zip it.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
The situation is a wee bit different
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Same result though
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
Cause I'm not crying?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
explain
Robert - October 22, 2009
They already hit in the 8th
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Your shitting me right?
Robert - October 22, 2009
With a ethnic lefty on the mound for the opponent
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
GO THE FUCK AWAY, FUENTES.
NO.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
AHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHA AHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHA

But Twins fans seem to hate him. At least the ones I know personally.

Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
They've done that already this series.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
I haven't paid attention
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
How did that just happen?
Poochie - October 22, 2009
I hope Matsui goes yard.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
DO IT!!! DO IT!!!!
royalcurve - October 22, 2009
So I guess A-Rod has arrived
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
I guess he's a slow as shit too
Poochie - October 22, 2009
2-for-3 career vs. Fuentes.
He owns him. I’m confident.
Teej - October 22, 2009
We can blame Japan for this if they lose.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Come on Matsui
stupidquestions - October 22, 2009
Make them pay
stupidquestions - October 22, 2009
The chances of Arod hitting a homerun =/= the chance of Matsui scoring a runner from first
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Or the batter after him if he walks
OlSalty - October 22, 2009
Wait why pinch-run for A-Rod who is an excellent basestealer?
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Because hes not as fast as he used to be.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
He's 56-9 in basestealing the past 3 years.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
I don't think they were planning on stealing.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Doesn't mean he is going to score from first on a ball hit into the gap.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
He's still well above average
Poochie - October 22, 2009
Indeed. A-Rod is probably their best defensive option at 3B, too.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
But they can't think about extras until they get there.
Harriston is no slouch at 3B.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
You have to think about the future.
Ignoring it completely is ignorant.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
Its the same as saving your closer for the 9th inning
Because you might need him.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
You need to score a run.
And you have 2 outs. Put your fastest guy on the base path.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
At what cost?
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
To win a fucking game?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Or give you a chance to win a game?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
No, it isn't.
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
How is it not?
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Imagine Guzman is 1/10 of a second faster first to home than A-Rod.
Is the chance of that 1/10 of a second tying the game more important than A-Rod’s defense or a potential next A-Rod at bat?
lailaihei - October 22, 2009
But say a ball gets into the gap - ARod isn't going to score on that.
And what you’re saying still isn’t different then saying I might need my closer when we have a lead. And not use him in the most important situation.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
And you still haven't answered my gender question.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
He's not all that fast, and they need a run to score should Matsui get a doulbe?
Teej - October 22, 2009
But if you tie the game then have to play the rest of it without A-Rod . . .
Teej - October 22, 2009
Can't think about that now though.
Scruffy Lefty - October 22, 2009
Indeed.
Teej - October 22, 2009

Brian Fuentes is an above-average reliever
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Brian Fuentes is an elite stress-inducer.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
Easy for us to say!
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
Timing is everything!
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Sure when he was with the Rockies but this is 2009 bub
Poochie - October 22, 2009
Shut up.
Teej - October 22, 2009
Not knowing who to root for I found myself nervous for both!
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
Request: I don't remember Jeff's "Torii Hunter ruining birthdays" post.
Since it was all images, I cannot search for it. Can someone link it?

Thanks babe.
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
You got it babydoll
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
That is still the best thing ever.
royalcurve - October 22, 2009

Wait, another thread with LFOJL and sb IN THE SAME THREAD
I’m so confused.
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
LFOJL =/= seattlebruin
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
are you sure
seattlebruin - October 22, 2009
They both love the chick flicks!
Eyebrows - October 22, 2009
The day I find the thread with the two of them and seattlesundevil is the day my mind is blown
Kermit. - October 22, 2009
I think we need some sort of Lookout Landing historian. Too bad there aren't any.
.Taylor - October 22, 2009
Needs more Rec's.
ThundaPC - October 22, 2009
That game was very curiously managed
Jeff Sullivan - October 22, 2009
I'm still not sure why they pulled A-Rod for a pinch runner.
Huh?
urchman - October 22, 2009
Well at least this series is exciting.
JMKaustin - October 22, 2009
Well, between the phone call that took place (I assume) during the Angels come-back, and my computer failing to work well with others during the excitement of the 9th inning
I seem to have missed a lot.
msb - October 22, 2009
Well I'm glad I missed this disaster
