4/15: Open Game Thread, Part 3

Shawn Kelley needs to hurry up and have children so that we can have more bullpen options.

And Russell Branyan is awesome. Russell Branyan is, in fact, the exact opposite of Pepsi Max.

This kicks ass
It sure as shit does

Holy shit, this team is opportunistic.

And Shawn Kelley is my bullpen hero.

Let's go Robbie
MORE RUNS PLEASE!
Russell Branyan may be awesome, but he is not yet superior to Diet Sunkist.

In fact, only Stephen Strasburg is better than Diet Sunkist.

They are going to walk the bases loaded knowing Yuni is on deck.
Effing one pitch wonder that kid
Rob needs to bunt here.
Let's just blow this wide open

I don’t want another aardsma-related heart attack

But dude it comes in a black can.
Yesterday's pepsi max promotion was god spitting in my face.
But now you can drink diet soda and NOT be a total fag

According to their commercials.

I am unhappy to say that my roomates are watching the Trailblazer game

so all I have is gamecast

shit in their food = justifiable retaliation
We've got to break things wide open here.
It's unbelieveable

that Yuni and Endy are hitting so well. We’re 6-2 without Ichiro and with Lopez and Beltre struggling.

Awesome

YES YES YES YES
I don't understand this. This feeling..
It's called 'joy'

don’t get used to it.

MOTHERFUCK YES
CATCHERS ARE FOUR FOR FOUR
ROB JOHNSON HAS REPLACED JEFF CLEMENT IN MY HEART
If he wasn't such a hilarious baserunner I might love him more
Faults just make them prettier
WATCH YOUR BEER SUPPLY YOU HAVE AN UNSTABLE ROOMMATE
You are so right.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

REDEMPTION!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well hot diggity goddamn.
7 RUNS BITCHES
ROB MOFO JOHNSON!
HOW IS THIS US????
GOD CAN THIS TEAM DO ANYTHING WRONG??

ROB JOHNSON IS AWESOME

I LOVE ROB JOHNSON!

Who needs Joh when you have Rob Johnson

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BOBBY I LOVE YOU
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

ROB JOHNSON YOU GORGEOUS BASTARD

I am speechless.

I really am.

CAN THIS NEVER END?
So our backup catcher may be better than our starting catcher.
By a insane amount
Well, except for the whole "inability to catch pitches in the dirt" thing
Good point, not his best moment tonight
Our AAA Catcher is better then our starting catchers

Hell, I bet our AAA backup catcher is better too

Verrrrryy Nize
I already love this team.
We are going to be 10 and 2 in our last 12 games
Catchers this game:

4/4

So, random thought

but I am somewhat surprised Safeco didn’t shoot off fireworks after Jr’s HR

They used to!
It's a down economy.
And they don't want to set neighboring buildings on fire.
It's been a long time since I've seen the entire stadium have an orgasm and that would have been as good a moment as any.
I am saddened because I wanted to see them.
The ones yesterday made my head hurt and my clothes smell of sulfur.
They did

the flares malfunctioned and frizzled out on their way up

Rob Johnson is now my second favorite R.Johnson of all time
Who was your second favorite before?
Russ Johnson!

Duh!

Robert Johnson?

Technically still my first.

Yuni has swung at every first pitch tonight.
At least some things never change...

Sigh.

Who needs Sean Kelley when you have Rob Johnson?
fuckyesfuckyes oh yes just like that mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnggghhhh
The g's and h's at the end of that are disturbing
Perhaps you'd like a private fan post?
I don't have the money
There's always the 25c boothes in the back
As long as it's not password portected
I know refuse to believe this will ever end
What the hell....
WHO IS THIS TEAM
AND CAN WE KEEP THEM
YUNI!

do it do it good

HOLY FUCK YUNI IS ON FIRE
I am so very confused.
Clutch Yuni, 3/4 today
Wow.

I’m liking this not sucking thing

Just...wow...I feel strange.
SERIOUSLY

WHO IS THIS TEAM

The return of a classic.
Haven't seen that one in awhile.
Well, kind of more like Yuni-blooper.

It was a single, after all.

THIS MAKES NO SENSE
We won 88 games as recently as 2007

yeesh

Fun with the Mariners
Mariners are BULGing the lead!

Good 1!

This team is on singles hitting orgy.
This is a dream

I don’t want to wake up from

Baseball is fun again!!
This is bizarro
I don't know what to do with this feeling.

I’m terrified and happy.

This game is only missing another Ichiro hit
This would be a good time.
This is like Angels in the Outfield

except notAngels.

God this team is so much fun right now
This is gonna be a dead meme pretty soon.
I'm pretty sure it won't be until we get hit with the regression shovel
That's what happened to me.
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Whose win would it be?

Washburns?

WHAT THE FUCK?
And it keeps getting better
Two more RBI's out there
backwards no-contact bunt!!!
Holy shit we're getting all the breaks
Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a classic "meltdown"
I remember this.

Aren’t we supposed to be doing it? I thought that’s how it works.

Did we do a Freaky Friday with the Angels?
I question Rob Johnson's baserunning prowess.
We help ourselves AND they help us?

WHAAAAA?

My MLB.tv just fucked up
Ha ha, not even close, ball four!
OK ICHIRO! FINISH THEM!
Wow Anaheim is looking like total shit
WALKS WALKS WALKS

ME MARINER FAN. ME LIKE WALKS

Angels pitchers are determined to lose every game this series.
I want to see an Ichiro grand slam in the worst way.
You are awesome.
I shall begin constructing an Ichiro shrine immediately.
BRIAN ... YOU SHOULD HOPE FOR GARETH FINDING $1 MILLION ON THE FLOOR TOMORROW ALSO.
BrianL = Prophet
YES
And now Ichiro will clear the bases.
WHO IS PSYCHIC?
GRAND SALAMI TIME!!!
All right, Ichiro.

Grand slam.

Another walk? Seriously? I am just giggling now.
WALK

this is awesome

THIS IS ALL GOING TO GO TO SHIT AFTER APRIL ISNT IT
It's like 2008 Silva!
DOESN'T MATTER LEAD WILL BE TOO BIG TO OVERCOME
Just like the 2008 DBacks!
I'm calling an Ichiro Bunt-blast right here
Is that Jackie Robinson at the plate?!?!
The Japanese Jackie Robinson.
Breaking the corror barrier.
BHAHAHAHAHAH
It's actually spelled "Jackie Lobinson."
IchiSlam

Needs to happen. If not, I need Endy to do it.

Ichiro so badly wants to show everyone up with a Grand Slam it's not even funny.
No, Ichiro cannot tie the all-time Japanese hit record while wearing #42

That would be terrible!

Disgusting even!
Racistly horrible!
I AM SO DEEPLY UPSET RIGHT NOW!!
Please, Mr. Ichiro, please please
I want Ichiro to walk just so Endy can get the Grand Slam.
I assume the actual outcome was acceptable.
Not sure how I feel about that Go Ichiro Go sign
ICHIRO ICHIRO ICHIRO
I-CHI-RO

I-CHI-RO

It's been so long since i've seen the other team have a meltdown
Cmonnnn Ichiro
Was that a pitchout?!? W/ bases loaded!
C'mon Ichi...
How does that feel, Angels? Bad? Feels bad, doesn't it?
Feels good man
Your screen name is appropriate.

Let's not be talking smack Week 2.
I'll talk smack if I want to.
Week 2 or not an Ichiro grand slam is still demoralizing as hell
This could not be more wrong.
Angels can't sit for a week.
Ohmygodohmygod
Let's GO ICHIRO!
oh shit this is intense
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Suck it Scioscia with a team full of aging slugger can't even bunt and holy fuckballls
GOD HE LOOKS COCKY I LOVE IT

Wow

They still do that? If so, between the free tax day tacos and this, Taco Del Mar might be going out of business…

I wondered about that-- but didn;t hear any one mention it

Even better, some random dude just won $7,000 on KIRO!

The Mariners NEVER score 7 runs in the 7th inning!

OH SHIT, FUCKING AWESOME!
IT'S LIKE JESUS CAME BACK TO EARTH AND BROUGHT UNICORNS WITH HIM
Seriously, that prize needs to be better.
HOLY KITTEN BALLS

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT
The Angels are Cancelled!
I am "watching" this on mlb gameday...

and its the best game i’ve ever “seen”…. totally awesome!

They need more video replay
AWESOME OVERLOAD!AWESOME OVERLOAD!AWESOME OVERLOAD!AWESOME OVERLOAD!AWESOME OVERLOAD!AWESOME OVERLOAD!

This Bulger guy really does suck, badly.
Ichiro is the man!
Holy Hell I Love This!!!!
are you supposed to be crying tears of joy this early in the season?
GOD I LOVE HEARING THAT CHANT
SERIOUSLY EVERYBODY WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! YES YES YES

I LOVE YOU MARINERS!!!!!!!!!!

GET ME THAT PRIVATE FANPOST STAT!!!!!!!!!
8-run lead.

Bullpen is cleared to throw strikes now.

This is why bunting wins ball games.
That IS a hell of a first game

Suck it, Kinsler!
7 in one game?

WOW

He's 7 for 5 with 7 HR?
If anyone can do it its Ichiro
Now that is a great game.
WHAT IS GOING ON
HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTDJRUNEFJUVNEFVNE

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I FEEL LIKE WE ARE A MOVIE
ONLY 154 MORE GAMES UNTIL THE IMPOSSIBLE COMES TRUE
Just a typical 7 run Mariner inning...
FUCK YESSSSS!!!!!!!
God it's going to suck when this team regresses to the mean
what if this is the mean... hmmm
This is the mean.
well then

FUCK YEAH!!!

This is...I don't...can't..
ICHIRO HURTS THIS TEAM BY FUCKING THE MAN
Time to head over to the Angels thread to hear obscenities.
LOL

their thread is aptly named “Still in this game THREAD”

As long as you read only.

No trolling over there.

I would never.
I picked the right day to start posting at HalosHeaven...

I was actually surprised at the reception I received there.

Ironically, I started posting in their game thread long before I came over here.

..

Awesome. Never loses its appropriateness.
Man, I know it's early, but this season feels special

KEEP IT UP M’S.

UM.

Yeah.

Ich wanted to join the party. Maybe I should post at HalosHeaven more often…

Yes you wonderful bastard.
holy fuck balls this is fucking awesome
cannot wait to watch the video archive of this game
This is the best motherfucking game of the season

It had motherfucking everything.

so...fucking...insane...
I just can't get over how everything about this moment was as perfect as can possibly be.

For fuck’s sake HE TIED THE ALL-TIME JAPANESE HIT RECORD ON A GRAND SLAM THAT INCIDENTALLY WON A DUDE $7,000!!

Yeah, but he didn't set the record
There are times, when somehow it seems like baseball is scripted.
:o
Yesss Angels fans, let me taste your tears.. so sweet.. YES
I will take a .400/.500 split from Griffey
I thought Sims was going to have a heart attack when he made the call.
If Griffey goes deep, everybody will die for joy.
I think I would explode somehow
HIT IT IN THE UPPER DECK
More Griffey
So... Opening Day was a walkoff in extras, game 2 at home is this.

Think more people will be at the game tomorrow?

If there isn't I would argue that the Mariners need to be relocated to another city

like say Laramie Wyoming

Plus it's Felix day!
It's actually Jaku-day
I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS THREAD
Me either, me either.
This is so good. So good.
If Griffey knocks it out of the park all the fans will spontaneously combust
I REC LIFE RIGHT NOW.
What's hilarious is Fin couldn't give away tickets to this game
YES HE COULD I MISSED ONE BY A MINUTE
Fuck my job >:(

I could be at this game right now dammit.

DAMN YOU PERSONAL LIFE!
Unless Jeff is at this game RIGHT NOW he is going to feel like such a prat for missing it.
Considering he took a flight home...
Jeff is busy serving his country.
Wait it really is a National Guard thing?

Awesome!

No more bald jokes. :(
If he really is in the Guard, then I salute him.
With the Salvation Army?

Gotta get the sweaters somewhere I guess.

Which country is Jeff from again?

As a Southern Californian who roots for a Seattle based team; he could be from anywhere.

Griffey Waks.
See what I did there? This thing on?
I thought the Angels were supposed to have a good bullpen
WHAT IS GOING ON????
TIME TO BUNT HIM OVER
Griffey walks, keep it going
So I'm good with Griffey walking 100 times this year.
Not sure if mentioned

But that Ichiro hit ties the Japanese hit record

But he is wearing #42!!!

This can’t be happening! The world’s axis has been thrown off!

I'm sure the Yakuza will always hold that title.
I love how Ichiro's FB went like 10 rows further than Griffey's

And you know the two of them both know it

Can we please wear #42 everyday?
I wonder if Griffey is going to have more walks than Lopez, Betancourt and Johjima combined at the end of the seaso.
His current walk total is high enough

So even if he tears an ACL tomorrow, I’m going with yes.

This is a fantastic point.
New Day, New Way
I'm pretty sure he did last season

Lopez: 27 walks
Betancourt: 17 walks
Johjima: 19 walks
Total: 63 walks
Griffey: 78 walks

The difference between Griff's BA and OBP is going to be insane at this rate
Tui gonna get an AB or what?
So needless to say I'm pretty upset about not being able to see this.
I've had enough fun listening to it.

but yes, seeing is better.

Honestly it's not that great of a game.

I mean, Griffey and Endy go yard, Ichiro hits a salami. No biggie.

I'm going to punch you in the soul
And I saw the Endy and Griffey homer
The Ichiro homer was several orders of magnitude better
Clearly
It was one of the prettiest home runs I've ever seen
It was like expecting a lego set for Christmas

And instead Santa grants you immortality and omnipotence

And you still get the lego set!
In fact you can create all the lego sets you want from thin air!
I would make Torii Hunter into a lego set and then drop him off a high building
I bet he'd be a pirate set because he's a fucking fag
Gigantic arch on that shot.
Gigantic arc on my soul punches too
Any time Endy Chavez hits a home run it is automatically the most awesome thing that happened on any given day
except today

ICHIRO!!!

That's good imagery

And sounds painful

I feel your pain

but there’s always highlights, I guess. Although I’ll never be able to recapture the atmosphere

If it was good enough for Grandpa it's good enough for you Mr. Fancypants, you're lucky it's solid state
I yelled so loud my dog shit himself
Was he in your lap?
A million recs if this is true.
Endy's OPS > Griffey's OPS
Don't dogs shit themselves by default?
Reply fail.
It was a new topic, i swear
So buying MLB.tv today was probably the single best decision I've ever made in my life
When did I fall into this parallel universe?

Who’s been feeding baseball pills to my Ms?

Damn…stutter…damn…

Where was I reading...

yesterday that the Angels were going to do what they always do this series, crush the ball. It escapes me now…

Torii Hunter's diary?
I hope you were not reading HH.
wait, you may be on to something

oh, but if there was a series preview, it appears to have been removed. blogs are kooky.

Was it the same place where they insinuated that 2001 was entirely due to steroids?
I forgot Shawn Kelley was pitching.

Seems like hours ago he came in and put out that fire.

So who is today's panther of the game?
Jake Delhomme.
I like Shawn Kelley already.
Our singular bullpen arm with any semblance of control

Which is why I’m already in love

We have to have one awesome Shawn/Sean/Shaun/Chone at all times.
Sports Illustrated's pick to rep the AL in the world series...

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

So...

Angels = World Series contenders
Mariners > Angels
Mariners = ?

Universe Series Chamions
Intergalactic Series contenders

Clearly.

Well that's a big pile of gay

booooooooo!!!

No more no-hitter for Kelley, dammit.
No, Re: The Apple Cup
Yes.

Doesn’t really seem fair at all.

At least they can sell beer.

This Kelley kid is our next George Sherill,
Good effort Yuni.
This is so much fun.
How good is Kelley's slider?
Vlad the Paler.
No - he's still pretty dark. Must be that LA sun.
I don't fear you Vlad. You can't hurt us anymore.
He is reminding me of Johjima last year with his constant pop outs
Wait...apple cup permanently in Seattle?

WTFingF???

What?!

That’s a pile of bullshit

WHAT?

WHAT WHAT WHAT???

Fuck this bullshit.
Seriously.

Quest Field is the permanent home of the Apple Cup

FUCK THAT
You just totally ruined this game for me.
not shooting the messenger...

not shooting the messenger…

Fuck.
I can't tell if you like this or not.

I wonder if Cougar sports passes will work for that game.

Probably not.

Oh fuck that's messed up.
I'm an alumnus, so theoretically i should be happy

Since more tickets mean I won’t pay out the ass. But having it in Husky back yard every year, not getting the opportunity to road trip back every 2nd fall, etc… Just can’t say I’m all that on board with the general idea.

Usually the sports passes work for home games, or give you a chance to buy on a lottery system for away games. Who knows if that will change under this new system… Knowing the schools they’ll start charging every year.

Every Apple Cup is now a UW home game.

Can you believe it?

Unfortunately I can

one of the first things you learn at WSU is how to expect getting boned.

You mean like when you try to get a job with a degree from WSU?
Worked out pretty well for me =/
Wait what the shit, when did this happen and why do I have to find out during this game
Blame Simms. He announced it.
MOTHERFUCKING COCK SUCKING DOGFUCKING BULLPUCKY
To be fair.

Many Cougar alumni live in the Seattle area. Hopefully there will be some sort of policing of how many Husky fans get tix vs. Cougs.

The Huskies don't like snow?
THEY PULL FUCKING SLEDS.
NOOOOOOOOOOO

That is absolute bullshit.

I demand the opportunity to freeze my ass off sitting on ice covered metal benches.

That would be such shit if true

half the fun of the Apple Cup is the crazy Pullman weather.

And the crazy pullman bars
Better sell your Keystone stock now!
Certainly better than the teams recently...
Holy shit how did I miss this?

GET YOUR MOTHER FUCKING COLLEGE FOOTBALL OUT OF MECCA

I wondered when you were going to chime in on this.
You know what other team was 7-2?

The 2001 Seattle Mariners. SEE WHAT I AM GETTING AT HERE?

Don't count your chickens til they hatch

Cleveland game. 2001. Just sayin’

Perhaps you do not understand me.

What I am saying is that we are going to win 117 games. AT LEAST.

And what I'm saying is we are not 7-2 yet.

And I think 120 is a more appropriate estimate.

Kelley has some kind of slider.

A good kind.

I think Dave is in love with Kelley.
Good to see he's on the same wavelength as most of us here.
Dave is baseball-savvy
Only 154 more games of awesome to go...
It's official, Vlad is finished.
Sweet GB basehits.
Ichiro deserves a geisha tonight.
96 MPH

Okay, is the Safeco gun fast, or is this legit?

A bit fast I think
Actually, gameday indeed has kelley hitting 96.
What?

This doesn’t feel uncomfortable?

Whatever Torii, you can have your single.
I TAKE IT BACK I STILL LOVE YOU MKORE
GUTI OH MY GOD
Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!
GUTIERREZ GODDAMIT YES
Gutz shows once again why he's THE MAN
I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUTZ
HOLY FUCKBALLS CAN THIS GAME GET ANY BETTER?
I love this team.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE AT ALL
I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUTZ
WHY AM I NOT AT THIS GAME!?
SERVER UPGRADE
I HATE MY JOB
HUGE!!!!!!!!!
OMG. SUPER-DUPER CRUSH on

FRANKLIN!!!!

Goose bumps. From baseball. It's marvelous.
Gutz is so awesome.
WHY GOD WHYYYYYYY
GUTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE AWESOMENESS IS WEARING ME OUT JESUS TITTYFUCKING CHRIST
It's made better

by the drunken stumble afterwards

!!!!

I H0OPE YOU KEEP APPEARING SOLELY TO POST THIS
WAS TRYING TO CATCH UP ON THE THREAD ACTUALLY BEFORE POSTING

BUT IF YOU WISH I CAN MAKE IT SO

No!

It must not be dead meme’d too quickly!

He only posts it when Gutz is awesome more more more
I HP0E SO TOO
I HOPE YOU USED A ZERO BECAUSE SOMEHOW I DID
I cannot express how much I love this
I"M MOVING TO LARAMIE WHERE THE ONLY THING THAT IS BLACKED OUT IS THE LOCAL BRANCH OF THE KKK
and Rockies games
LETS DRIVE 500 MILES FOR A SLURPEE
Where did we get Kelley? Farm system? Trade?
Low pick in June draft
2007 Draft pick

23rd round i believe

13th rd draft in 2007
This game needs to end soon

I’m about an hour away from having to consult a doctor

Too much awesome in this game!

It’s all of the awesome that should have happened over the last 4yrs rolled into one game!

Is there anything missing from this game?

Seriously.

Beltre homer, Tui actually playing.
Jeff :(
That's why they call it a sacrifice, but the honor is well worth it.
And by honor, you mean free insurance.
True.

Where art thou Jeff?

He's in AAA for the Rainiers
Tui defensive substitution
Everything about this game should be encased in gold and placed on the mantlepiece
Please tell me we aren't using up all of our goodness in the first week and we really have enough to sustain this all year
I like watching this defense.
This game is like sex
Yeah!...except it feels good
You're doing it wrong
It would have been a lot faster than this.
Yeah!...except I'm having it!
Does anyone else feel like we are somehow getting paid back karmically for continuing to watch the 2008 Mariners

After it became clear that they were awful?

GOOT

has saved more runs in these first two weeks than Ibanez had his entire career

New South Park time too for you douchebags into that
I'm sure I'm in the minority here

But I never really found South Park that funny…

This game is >>>>> South Park

but South Park is funny

I don't really like it either.

I hate that kind of animation.

Dude what is it with you and animation? First King of the Hill and now South Park

What do you like?!

You mean good animation?
It's stupid and even more unrealistic.
Wily.E.Coyote falling off a cliff and living isn't realistic either.
Why are you watching animated shows and hoping for realism?
You know what I mean.

They don’t even have an animation of actually walking. They, like, waddle.

Are you intentionally being retarded?
It's never, ever intentional
And?
It's annoying

I just can’t stand it.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing
Jesus, dude. I'm not even a fan of South Park, but this is ridiculous.

I’m sorry to pile on, but what the fuck??

Maybe he really hates ducks
The animation is supposed to crappy

that’s the joke

And I'm not allowed to dislike it?
Of course you are

It’s just a really silly thing to dislike

I mean, there's some funny jokes in it, I just can't get past the animation.
They have funny voices too, and it's totally lipsynched.
Will.....stop....
Animation is, by nature, not realistic
Their animation is fantastic and accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do.
Why did you disappear for three weeks and come back to post this?
Hey look the Angels have a Rodriguez that isn't an annoying bitch
Dear baby jebus.

Of all the nights i have to work and be tied to the desktop and not the laptop.

Damn, I was away from the TV for the Gootz catch.

Can anyone describe it?

Poetry in action.
It was fucking sick.
Like sex with Helen of Troy
Except less necrophiliac.

Also, with less resultant war.

Ranged way back to the track, leapt and caught the ball over his shoulder
SEX IN MIDAIR
Can this be his new nickname please please please
First Gutierrez wasn't there.

Then he was.

best sex of your life + 4.0 GPA throughout college + putting $5,000 on double zero in roulette and winning
So pretty good I guess
Blowers is pumped!
Blowers is dreamy.
ewww
I think you mean "mmmmmm".
I knew a kid in HS whose mom had dated Blowers

back when she was in HS.

I went to the same high school as Blowers

and his jersey is hanging by the gym. Even that is dreamy.

Bethel right?

Fucking cowtippers.

Damn straight.

That’s how we rolled. Well, it’s how the hicks rolled. The rest of us kept our heads down and never spoke of where we came from except in reference to “Mike Blowers” who “went to the same high school as us!”

I went to Spanaway Lake

although I’m not proud of it, that district is a cesspool of mediocrity.

At least Bethel has its own football stadium.

Not that there’s much else worthwhile about it. But you got the district pretty well nailed. Anyway, back to Ms being awesome while I sit at work at live vicariously through LL posts.

The stadium is next to their school

it’s not their stadium :-p

As far as I'm concerned, it was ours.

It was right friggin’ next to the school, after all. I parked next to that thing almost every day. Ergo, my/our stadium.

Silly people from Spanaway…

I grew up in Yakima - I was silented after the cow-tipper comment.

(sobs)

The worst team in the AL two years ago went to the World Series.

Now it’s our turn!

When was the last time the M's took a series from the Angels?
Anyone know if FSN is going to be replaying this game tonight?
Dave is having a blast.
Oh Rex Hudler

“Lopez is having the best night offensively in my mind because he has two sacrifices”

DUMB

ASS

He also praised Mathis earlier

for a similar type night.

I love late night baseball
BS Call, but i'll let it go cause it's 11-3
Safe by a lot
Safe you nearsighted cunt.
SAFE YOU NASTY WHORISH GIGOLO
So that did not look particularly close to being an out
Ump trying to get home early.

Ass hole.

I hate FSN.

You’re second favorite highlight? Because we assume Griffey’s HR is #1. No, Griffey isn’t God. The Ichi-slam was about 1,000 times better.

Giving them mercy outs.
Satanic wife feel asleep on the couch. I'M GOLDEN!
Nyquil to the rescue!
Predictable.

That’s why you never argue about it. Give them 10 minutes and they are out.

Can't we just hand Gutz the Gold Glove right now?
He's too inexperienced to win it
No, he doesn't HIT well enough to win it.

Get it right.

They're not about talent. They're about rep.

Exhibit A: Derek Jeter.

That and

Dont they hand out the Gold Glove awards based on your offensive performances like Jeter

Michael Young, anyone?
What a freaking awesome pickup

I knew he would be good at defense…but DAMN, good is a bad way to describe it.

Why couldn't we ahve saved Batista for this inning?
Or better yet, release him in the middle of the game
Have Johjima deliver the news to him during a mound conference.
WHERE THE HECK IS TUI?
I'm with you.
Thirded
Even I think they should put him in and I think he blows goats.
THEN this game would have everything.
He played enough to last him a lifetime last season
Fuck Tui
I'm with you.
Seriously. The guy sucks.
Fourth.
Fourth base is a tough fucking position.
I don't think he's good or anything, but I don't think it would kill the M's to give him an AB in a 11-3 game.
They're trying to keep his playing time...

on par with what his brother received in the NFL

I can;t believe the amount of applause he got on Tuesday.

OMG HES FROM WOODINVILLE MUST CLAP!

Three teams scored more runs than the M's tonight.
I think Matthew may have had a stroke.

He hasn’t posted in here in a bit.

Either that or he’s preparing an awesome post-game summary.

This game is too happy for him.
This game is too happy for all of us.
Pickle pants.
Speaking of awesome nicknames.
TMI?
I don't think pickle pants means what you seem to think it means.
Can words capture how orgasmic this game was?
Ah, I love seeing Felix and Junior chatting away in the dugout. I don't even know why.
It means Griffey is doing his job as clubhouse glue?
Past and future?

I know Felix is rapidly becoming present, but I would give Ichiro that mantle until he chooses to give it up.

Fuck!! We have to use Lowe in a blowout. Now he won't pitch till' next week.
Mark Lowe is pumping HEAT
It's the chinstrap

Adds 2 mph

DAVE SAYS LOWE IS THROWING LASER BEAMS CAN YOU EVEN THROW LASER BEAMS!?
SENILE OLD FOOL. NO ONE CAN THROW LASER BEAMS.
ONLY WITH YOUR MIND
MARK LOWE DISCOVERED A PROPRIETARY METHOD AND HE HOLDS THE PATENT BITCH
HOW MUCH ARE YOU BEING PAID TO MAKE THE LASER BEAMS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE WINNING
If Dave Niehaus says you can throw laserbeams you nod your head and agree with him
They say Dave's eyesight is going, but maybe he's actually capable of seeing things that we can barely comprehend...
I love that man, he's a national treasure and you are probably correct sir.
Damn right you do.
WHERE DID IT MISS BLUE?
Happy Mariners. Look, they are smiling.
Can you see Bedard?
I was blinded by Felix dimples. I saw Bedard smiling last night though.
Bedard is smiling!
The heavens open when Bedard smiles.
Hey - you said the same thing to me!
I meant it.
You are a delicious person.
Ichiro was not smiling...

selfish bastard!

Ichiro is smiling now that the game is over.
Is that what that feeling is?

It’s been so long since I have had occasion to do this… But it feels kind of good. Strange, and muscles in my cheeks hurt, but I could get used to it

I know it is weird.
I don't want this game to end. Ever.
Mark Lowe for closer.
Stephen Strasburg for closer
Dead meme
On resurrection day, even the dead memes get up and walk the earth.

It’s just one of those days, Saltster.

This meme annoys me for two reasons

Not only is the “Jack Zduriencik loves relievers” thing getting played out, WE ARE NOT DRAFTING STEPHEN STRASBURG. GOD.

THE MEAT MARKET HAD A GOOD NIGHT TONIGHT
What's with that guy wearing the pink sweater in the dugout?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MARINERS WIN. HELL YES.
I LOVE THIS TEAM
GAME OVER

M’S WIN!!!!

I <3 THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK WE WON SIX IN A ROW WE ARE IN DOUBLE DIGIT WINS
WE ARE?
no i had a spazz
Yay for drinky!
IT INVOLVED TOO MUCH THINKING ON THE SPELLING OF THE WORD DIGIT

NOT ENOUGH LOGICAL COUNTING

If you include 3 wins from last year!
First time since 2003!
Seven and Two.
Three game lead in the AL West.
GAME FUCKING OVER BOOYA!!!
And that's that

Night fellas

There's your Ichiro smile.
We honored the shit out of Jackie Robinson
THAT GUY IS SO HONORED RIGHT NOW (NO PROTECTION)
Another game under 3 hours.
Wow, 7-2!!!!!
Six in a row.
God that was fun.

Let’s do it again tomorrow.

Wow. That was a really fucking good baseball game.
MARINERS WIN MARINERS WIN MARINERS WIN!!!!!

6 in a row!!!!!!

3.5 GAMES UP MOTHERFUNKERS
I MEAN 3 BUT STILL HOLY SEXTOWN
3.5 ahead of the Angels.
Mmmm I love the taste of their salty tears of defeat.
We're in 1st place for 3 more days no matter what!!
Best record in the league

Dern Marlins!

ICHIRO IS HAPPY ALL IS WELL IN THE WORLD
YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST: FLORIDA/SEATTLE WORLD SERIES
THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID "HEARD IT HEAR"
IT'S TRUE, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I HEAR ANYTHING
All hail the 2nd best team in baseball!!!!
I am looking forward to the audio archive. I want to hear Dave's call on Junior's and Ichiro's homers.
Rizzs called Ichiro's I'm afraid, but the Griffey call was awesome.
If we lose the next 5 games

We’ll still be .500

Now that is Positive thinking!
Even in my dreams, Beltre still strikes out on the low and away slider.
Holy shit

Someone pinch me

*pinch*
OH MY GOD ICHIRO HIT A GRAND SLAM

I THINK HE’S HEALTHY GUYS

THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR COULD NOT FEEL MORE DIFFERENT,

MAY IT LAST.

OH, AND MARK LOWE’S FACE IS REALLY FUCKING RED.

This game was incredible.

Beating the Angels, Griffey’s and Endy’s homers, 4 hits by catchers and of course Ichiro’s grand slam.

But I still think the best part about this game was seeing Ichiro and Bedard smiling, as well as Griffey joking openly with Silva, Bedard, Felix, etc. Especially after all that happened last year. This was the perfect game.

Forget Sweeney and Griffey

Winning is the best form of chemistry.

And......

Mike Scioscia is fat

When did Mickey Hatcher get so old, holy crap he's let himself go
Say!

who was that happy, smiley fella runnning in from right field?

Jackie Lobinson.
Oh shit! BAM!
This game was awesome, this thread was awesome, this day was awesome, and I hope Matthew isn't dead or anything.
Damn, Toronto is first in the AL East.

I wish we had Travis Snider…

I'd take Roy Halladay as well.
David Purcey is a beast.
A league-average beast.
Endy hitting a homerun seriously makes me question whether this game actually happened

The rest of it is at least somewhat believable

Arsenal are in the semifinals and the Mariners are in Sexytropolis

This has been a good day

And to think I was liking you just a few minutes ago
Boooooo Aston Villa boooo
I wondered how you knew and realized it's in my profile.

I thought you were psychic

It's ok, you'll always have Agbongaglaoghogor
I named my dog after him thank you very much
It's a good thing I don't have a son or he'd probably be named Theo Montero
Please wait awhile before you reproduce
You are of course correct

Franklin Montero is the obvious choice. I should have thought it thru.

Ok, now you're allowed.

Call him Franky.

Damn Krueger

You are indeed a Dapper Dan man!

It's a geographical oddity! Three days from everywhere!
Ichiro still doesn't speak English?!
Not in interviews. But yes he speaks English just fine.
He's still scared of making mistakes?
Yes.
No, he just knows that the primary audience for him is Japan
Maybe.

I wouldn’t risk saying something stupid in a post game interview.

Cost-reward theory would say it isn’t worth it.

Do you have any idea how drastically different English and Japanese are?

I’d be scared shitless of missing some kind of important linguistic nuance while talking with the media.

Someone emailed KIRO to claim that Barron had misinterpreted Ichiro just the other day
Seriously, it's not even close to learning Spanish or German or whatever, at least they have similar roots

Eastern and Western languages have much less in common

I'm taking my fourth year of Japanese and it still makes my head spin.
Atleast it's not tonal like Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese.
He just likes to give Ken Barron something to do
If Ken Barron can speak Japanese, what's the point of having a Japanese translator?!
He is the translator
No, their other translator, Anthony Suzuki.
My bad
I mean, I thought he was hired so he could translate for Ichiro.
Ichiro probably likes having a translator he knows
Barron is the translator for Johjima

Suzuki is the translator for Ichiro

Other way around I think.
Either way

They each have their own translator, and if they didn’t want or think they needed them around, they wouldn’t be there.

Translating the nuance between the languages must be a bitch

I mean, words aren’t straight across translations right? You have to start getting into intent or whatever

That's the same for every language, really.
Yup.

Suzuki has spent a lot of the last two years attending pitchers meeting, bullpen sessions, etc etc. This year, I gather, he has lurked off to the side, but Joh has done the bulk of his pitcher communication in English.

re Barron, nice piece here

Hey! Barron went to Roosevelt.

That’s cool.

In order to be a translator it's kind of helpful to have a grasp of both languages in question.
Ken Barron is scared of teaching high school Japanese
How's your Japanese, Coach?
His interpreter tricked him into thinking swears were formal english. Take this "quote" for example:

Interviewer: Ichiro, how do you like being a Mariner right now with all of the losses?

Ichiro: I think you need to look at the fucking roots of the goddamned tree to realize that Bill Bavasi is queer. When I say “queer,” I mean I want to smash his skull with a cocksicle. By the way, you as a reporter are very fuckable and easy to the eyes that I have. Your name is Blowers? Fuck yes. I also agree that Richard Sexson is a “fucktard,” as my dark teammate Jose Guillen calls him. I appreciate being able to talk to you in a nice english fucking conversation. If you’ll excuse me, I have to don a pink polo shirt and rape Yuniesky Betencourt.

Are you serious? No response? I had to do sit-ups to write this post, you bastards.
Perhaps nobody saw all the humor in it.
This happens often.
I rec'd it, but I didn't know how to respond.
Hehe... you're a gentleman.
And you respond by exclaiming that Ichiro is selfish.
Sometimes I think that the translater is making it up.

Except this:

“Is Pete Rose Next?”
Ichiro: “HA! You must be bad at math.”

Sounds like classic Ichiro to me
Ichiro has quite the wit.
That was great.

He looked so happy in that interview! Happy Ichiro makes me happy.

I'm surprised Angie or Brad haven't taken Japanese lessons by now. I would have if I had their job.
MOTHER FUCK YES
I honestly don't remember the last time I saw a post game dugout interview with Ichiro.

And I loved his “HA!”

I know. I am so used to see WFB give the dugout interview I was kind of shocked.
Right? Him and Ibanez were staples.
Or some other white guy or English speaker
They had Gut yesterday.

I could barely understand him.

Same here
Everybody else pussed out all the time and ran away like a bunch of little sissies

What were they going to say? “I’m trying but it just doesn’t work anymore?” I hated the last 6 years so much.

ACCOUNTABILITY!
We are on pace to win 126 games.
That's it?

160-2 to be quite honest with you.

Washburn is on pace to win 34 games.
Great we can trade him after 20 for ton of prospects.
How is this team going to LOSE 36 games?
47 Blown Saves.
On no you bastard!
You said it yourself...

Ministry of Silly Walks!

This comment was source of great laughter opening day - well done Kermit.
I am never deleting this game from my DVR.
Too bad you cannot turn it into one giant .gif.
That sounds like a challenge

and if successfully completed, one of the greatest accomplishments ever! I wish I had the technical ability and wherewithal to do it.

Wanna date? I'll bring icecream and we can snuggle up and watch it all over again.

The radio didn’t quite get it done tonight

I have a real snuggly Mariners fleece blanket
If you have a Mariners Snuggie,

I will be your best friend.

See, the good thing about it NOT being a Snuggie? More of us could get under it.

it would be easy to make a Mariner Snuggie, though

It's just a backwards robe.
Pajama/M's party!
I'm free Sunday night.
Let me check my schedule!

Threads kind of taking a shit, get back to you on a serious note some other time. What a great fucking game eh?

Yes! Email me brother.
Ichiro just coined the new slogan

The Seattle Mariners, Episode IV: A New Hope

So this game was just about perfect

Washburn pitches well, Kelley pitches well, another amazing catch for Gutz, Endy hits a homerun, Griffey hits his 400th as a Mariner, and Ichiro hits a grand slam in his first game back.

Game of the year so far, no doubt.

Even with Ichiro's grand slam

he has the worst WPA for the game among the batters.

The media is already getting tired of Junior.
The Mariners have the highest winning percentage in the AL and the largest division lead in baseball.
Fucking Marlins.
IT'S 2003 ALL OVER AGAIN
If we win 93 games and fail to make the playoffs I'll eat my hat
Apparently if we play .500 ball for the rest of the year we'll win 84 games
We either make the playoffs or JI has to eat a hat

Either way, we win

How much is a nacho hat?
I will make you a cheese hat of some kind if it comes to that.
54 more wins before September 1st and I get modded!
54 wins and you find out you were lied to!
I was promised some sort of compensation.
Here are your Mentos.
It's funny that you mention that!
Eating them now?
Close!
Blowing Coca Cola bottles up?
You will be the first person to know!
GET OUT OF MY BUSHES.
Hey I don't get games here in the South

Any update on Joh’s injury? Or any info at all really?

Nothing yet, getting check out blah blah usual post game we-don't-know-anything-yet.

He better not take too much time, Rob Johnson is looking pretty good.

Thank You

All Gameday says is injury timeout, then he ran and got pinch run for at third, which i found unusual that they let him run to third then pulled him… Who comes up if he goes to the DL? Burke or Jeff?

I'd guess Burke.

The team seems committed to keeping Clement in AAA for the time being.

HAHAHAHA TRAP!!! I'm going with the company line and saying Jeff.

My heart says Burke! Really? I don’t know but Z and Wakamatsu might have something against Jeff, Z has a reputation as a good scout, Wak used to be a catcher.

Possibly bring up Jeff

Just so they can get Adam some AB’s in AAA?

Plus I'm like the last person to ask this question, there's analysts around here someplace. I'm more of a newsreader.
Baker:
UPDATE 8:46: Johjima left the game with tightness in his right hamstring, the Mariners said. He’ll be re-evaluated tomorrow.
yes, I just saw that he'd left the game

what happened?

Pulled up running the basepaths, in the 5th? Got kind of crazy in there.
During the game they said strained hamstring
Whee I was at the game the Ichislam was awesome

by that point I was like fuck it. Woo Ichiro. Catching up on the thread.

Also Gutz is good at that defense thing.

You are a Mariners fan.
*Mariners fan in Seattle.

Who are you kidding

We're winning you over aren't we
This whole Angels fan thing is just an act, isn't it?
We've known this for a while
Being closeted must be so miserable for some people
YOU SHUT RIGHT UP.
It is repressed Mariner fandom that causes people to become Angels fans.
I thought he deserved the benefit of the doubt :(
He's either a liar or an Angels fan.

Why would he deserve that?

Because deep down I believe he's got a heart of gold.
Hey sailing unit!

THAT ANIMATION DOES NOT SHOW PEOPLE WALKING.
What is it going to take for you to be baptized into the Mariner faith?

We are running out of missionary efforts.

Can't a guy just like Ichiro?
It's because we like you so much and can't process your being an Angels fan.
Also holy crap a lot of people replied to this.
We love you. We pay attention to you.

Or I do anyway.

Missionary efforts!
You're a cool dude, that's why.
If all Angels fans were like you, we'd just hate the A's instead
I'd still hate the Angels.
Damned straight.
Probably

The Rangers are just too cute to hate

And slightly too far away
Cute?
Josh Hamilton is kind of a babe.
Saltamacchia married his teacher!
rawr
Makes math easier.
I would argue it would make it harder
You're a sick person. 1 + 1 = Fun.
My thoughts exactly
Like a geoduck.
The Rangers are butt ugly butt faces
They don't have Laird anymore, sadly.
If you wanna see ugly, take a look at Chris Shelton's pic
The whole "The Natural" thing gets annoying
Did you know he used to be a drug addict?
What? I was talking about the HR music.

Or is this just over my head?

Oh

I thought this was a Josh Hamilton reference, which I replied to with another sarcastic Josh Hamilton reference.

Oops.

Yeah I got the Hamilton thing.

Oh well. Internet!

I hate the A's almost as much...
I would very much still hate the Angels

I would just not hate their fans so much.

Hugs for everyone!

Still an Angels fan, but I love baseball enough that I don’t take an April loss too seriously. The Griffey HR, ichislam, and gutz catch were all a lot of fun to watch.

Also, Endy fucking Chavez? Really?

If he's fucking his last name, he's even cooler than I thought.
It is a rare occurrence when I do not laugh out loud at one of your posts.
God bless you. Go get your head checked - STAT.
I read this as "SAT". Damn you, college board.
Good luck with that.

If it happens to go badly, I need my oil changed…

Fuck it - what am I talking about??

My laid off ass needs my career changed!

At least I would hope that it was his last name and not someone else's.
We're just so confused about how you can be so normal

and then have that sig.

The replay is starting, and they had a little montage, showing a seasons-worth of highlights, from just a handful of games ...
Why the fuck does John Anderson still say "I-cheer-oh" on SportsCenter?

Good God, he’s only been in the United States for NINE YEARS NOW

That's sadly still better than them saying "KEN......JI......JOH....JIMA" in slow motion all the time.
Man I hate when I go to click on a comment and accidentally hit the user's name

Then I’m at their profile and when I come back all the comments are white. Shit balls.

And I just asked you to marry me.

I didn’t hear back, to I went for Lola instead. Sorry. Can I keep your Wii?

Until I want it back, the Wii is yours.
IKFASJF/.DSMVN.ADSMVK.AK/LMADF/KADF/MDF/S/.,.
Robert, I'm sorry your dreams were cut short. Lola and I are happy.

Why can’t you just be happy for us?

Shit. Start over.
Shit, I lost the bet
Who do I contact to suggest that SBN implement

a “Are you sure you wish to navigate away from this page?” popup while in comment sections?

Word.

Hey, come see Sec108, Toots, and some other gay guys on Friday. Email me for my number. Well be at the game getting surly and awesome.

When I move back up to Seattle this summer, I want to join in these game meet-ups.
Will you be in sec. 108?
YES!

Row 23, seat ASSHAT.

I'll wave from across the field, sitting in the fancy-shmancy gift seats behind the 3rd base dugout.

I believe it is illegal to Asshat there.

You could never bean asshat - you are AWESOME.

Pardon my previous bragging.

But it would be fun to Asshat, upon occasion.

I think only Scooter the Annoying Beer Guy gets to do it in 137, though.

We'll see - I'm a pretty awesome bastard.
Or at least make all of the links you click open in a new goddamned window automatically
I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS
Who the hell wrote this recap?

this is the worst writing ever

God that is terrible, they don't understand that

just stringing together random phrases with commas, and running on and on, and oh look kitties, doesn’t make a sentence.

FSN is racing through their replay of the game-- they are already in the top of the 7th, should one wish to relive the bottom of the 7th...

With or without Snuggie.

Sham-Sad. :(
Never mind.

FSN in their wisdom chose to jump ahead PAST all the offense in the 7th.

I'm already watching MMA. My attention doesn't do well for post game wraps, unless my friend Shannon isi nvolved.
OK... they did do that.

I thought i was going crazy. I went to take a leak and came back and they were already past all the good offense
