So with all that bullpen regression out of the way it should be smooth sailing ahead for the rest of the season.

Handjobs for Abreau!

GJ Blow.

this is a nice first comment
Did you hear that Abreu is a likely closeted homosexual?
No, tell me more.
I read it in a previous thread.
Corco's websites prove to be his undoing

Leading stalkers to his door.

No let's not elaborate.

Why would you want to know about *Abreu’s sexuality

To answer Yuniform's question, Sims is the fucking shit.
Absolutely.

I resent Jeff for closing the thread before we could get into this conversation for the 350th time.

But is shit better than poop?

We need graphs…

Sims is only behind Niehaus and Calabaro in Seattle history.
I like Bob Rondeau

however he spells his name.

I have no idea who that is.
He does Huskies games

much better at football than basketball.

Bob Rondeau, Huskies PBP guy, is solid

And while not technically Seattle, Keith Jackson was the fucking man for Pac-10 football

Jackson, like Madden, stayed on too long

I mostly remember him as a “Whoa Nellie” jukebox.

Lowe's facial hair makes me want to destroy everything that is pure and beuatiful in this world.
Sit this fucker down.
And it continues

Wonderful.

Look at my nuts Lowe.
I'm sick of Griffey now

We’ll take Abreu instead

Sean White instant impact
Oh, he'll impact all right
Whoa nice pitch.
OH GOD DAMMIT NOT SEAN WHITE
So who is looking like the #1 pick in the 2010 draft?
Anyone who says Strasburg is a homo
He may not sign!
Whoever it is the Nats have already staked their claim
If the Angels keep relying on these shitass seeing eye grounders for their offense, they'll be scouting him pretty heavily

Whoever he is.

I wish we got Abreu.
Well this is good
So Griffey sure as shit hasn't done anything today
Yeah, how selfish.
Griffey needs to dive more

Ichiro-style defense is killin’ us

I need to gif the Darren Oliver at bat
So THAT'S why we're losing...
Way to totally throw out everything he's done for this team.
Lowe's breaking stuff gives me a boner.

A little high, but wow.

What a lucky ass game for these bitches
Part of the Sean Color Institute of Pitchers is up in the pen
Lowe = From the south Corocan = From the south

CONNECTION?

Felix is bored.

What a team player.

So Rob Johnson's defense has left a lot to be desired tonight
And that shutout streak is poo
WHERES JEFFIE
Somewhere being even worse
Picking him was worse then when we picked Leone over Pujols
Hmm?
or ....

396 13-12 Phillies Frank Brooks
397 13-13 Orioles Drew Hassler
398 13-14 Reds Travis Wong
399 13-15 White Sox Casey Rogowski
400 13-16 Rockies Rick Cercy
401 13-17 Angels Alfredo Amezaga
402 13-18 Cardinals Albert Pujols

What website shows current AAA and AA scores in progress?
According to Jeff

Still swinging

Free Jeff Clement!
Nice throw, Bob.
Clement can make a better throw than that...

I think…

My nana could've thrown the ball better than that

You suck, Rob

The bad pitching is contagious, it's spreding to our catcher.
Catchers don't pitch
That depends
Except for Jason Motte
And if were talking about Booby Abreu being a homo amirite
Bobby Abreu and Carlos Silva are considerably overweight, and on off days they have all-male heterosexual intercourse with each other.
Can anyone confirm this?!
When they're not having sex they're checking Brandon Morrow's blood sugar.
My goal is to create one huge, 5,000-word joke that uses as many annoying things as possible.

It will be horribly long and unfunny.

Like the gold gold house joke!
You'll get recs for the attempt
That's so true it's pathetic
Maybe that's what Joe Saunders was looking at
Pics or didn't hapen
I blew this joke by typing "heterosexual."
Freudian Slip

And I thought you were one of us

It was a setup.
You blew it like Bobby Abreu blows many, many males.
Did you just use that on yourself
I did the setup on purpose. The "you blew it" was improv.
Poorly worded comment, my bad.

I tried to say the pitchers were making mistakes and now those mistakes are spreading to our catcher.

Save for...

Burke

He's our last hope.

Unless Jeff Clement gets the call up. I’m just excited for the day Adam Moore makes it to Seattle.

This inning is taking far too long

I want to fast forward to the part where we lose

So that was weird.

Sims:Joe Saunders has really stuck it to them…."
DirectTv commercial that lists 1.5 seconds: “POUND FOR POUND”
Sims: Continues.

That could be great product placement, going forward...
So are you going to send them a Thank You email now?
No, I'll just continue to send them money.

I will say this for DirecTV, whenever I have ever had any problems(which have been few) their customer service has always been quick and effective.

Who is at the game

Please smack that girl in the hideous brown UGGs behind home plate for me.

dude

Violence against women is rarely cool

Unless of course, they're tastelessly dressed.
This makes me sick.
wrong
Seemed like sarcasm to me
This might be one of the times when it's okay.
How do you think I broke my hand?
let's agree to disagree
MARKKKY MARK LOWE!
That was an awesomely bad swing

And makes me feel even worse that this offense has abused us tonight. Completely by accident.

Refuse To Snooze
That only seems like it would further our plight
So, anyone wanna chip in money to put a hit out on Corcoran.
Anyone wanna chip in money to prevent the hit from going out on Corcoran?
no
Appearently the authorities read LoL now so be careful
Guess who else calls LL that!
Guess it's a good thing we've got this then

http://www.sbnation.com/users/I%27m%20NOT%20Corco/search?advanced_search=true&all_these_words=bomb+safeco&btn=Search&order=date&q=bomb+safeco&scope=network&search_user[username]=I%27m+NOT+Corco&type=Comment

Did it ever occur to you that maybe I AM the authorities?
No, pretty much never
He's not fucking retarded
Generally cops don't get turned down when they ask girls on coffee dates.
depends on the corcoran
Roy...or me if there's a reason for me to be worried
Why would there ever be a reason for you to worry?
That's what I thought
Way to downplay the hit out for him.

I mean…

You guys don't even know where Wyoming is
I'm in Provo, Utah.

I can be at your doorstep in an hour.

You would have to move at a rapid velocity to get to me in an hour
I once made it from Provo to Seattle in 11 hours.
That's pretty reasonable actually
That is averaging 84 mph, including stops.

I shaved 3+ hours off a drive that a normal person would make, not including stops.

Corco's websites turn out to be his undoing

Leading e-Stalkers to his door.

It's the place that you moved to in a attempt to get as far away from your personality despite how much you outwardly like it.
I was actually moving towards it because I outwardly like it

Wyoming is like a state full of Corcos

That's not true.

My parents and grandparents are from Laramie.

You don't know me
Of course, she's female.
Darn.

Know what I do know? Laramie. It’s not full of whoever you are.

That's my favorite brand of cigarette
A perfectly normal midwesterner with low self-esteem?
Really?
Yes?
Wyoming isn't the midwest.
Tell that to people in eastern Wyoming

I didn’t believe it at first either, but many of them claim it and the people seem like midwesterners

Laramie is part of the Great Plains, which by some definitions is part of the midwest

Most of Wyoming is not, but the southeast corner is definitely in the Great Plains

yes that would be totally difficult to find.
If that were true it would have succeeded by now
Almost the right word
Spell check is often a crapshoot
Sometimes my jokes work better out loud
It has succeeded

I’ve actually had conversations with women here and had them come back to talk to me again. That’s a huge step forward compared to Tacoma

Something tells me you know what mace tastes like
It tastes like progress
I've never even seen or tasted mace
Well they spray it in your eyes so technically you wouldn't see it or taste it
I've never had any experience with that

Despite my occasionally sexist statements I’m actually pretty nice to women

I’m a less insane Bill Dauterieve, if you will

Don't swing so much maybe?
No you fool we're supposed to conserve and preserve our outs
So Lopez sucks again.
It's like we are trying to lose
They're gonna hype that "Seven in the 7th" extra hard that year

“Hey, it’s actually happened, listeners!”

Bad at bat coming here.
I have just received word that blowers has been authorized to give out an unprecidented second helping of Rally Fries to aid this dire situation
On our way to a good ol' fashion loss.

Ahhh….this doesn’t feel too bad.

Its a feeling I've grown up with! Also, I'm totally drunk
There's nothing quite like the sweet, soothing embrace of failure
Bullpen arms named Sean are like so played out
I bet there's a Sean Redd out there that's a lefty...
It's like

Easing into a swimming pool full of little kids…

This post made me uncomfortable.
why
just kidding i love kids
Who are you, and why are you doing this?
IT WAS A PEE JOKE!
I can't believe we have another six months of this
Playing .700 ball would be pretty rad.
Do you mean this to be a good thing or a bad thing?
2.5 months till camp starts!
Go Chargers!
I'm pretty excited for the last year of the San Diego Chargers.
I hope Tui is watching this relief appearance and cutting his skin
Y'know what cheered me up just now?

New picture of Dubs.
Sports need more cute mascots. (Monkeys aren’t cute.)

aww...

who’s a good doggie?

Who wants a little treatie treat?
Who's gonna have a charmed life and not understand why?
Who are most dogs. Alex?
The surge twins are looking good this year.
White was 6-11 for Tacoma last year?

So glad he’s here instead of Stark or Hull.

Felix had a mediocre W-L record, why is he back?

I’m Sean White’s Uncle

WHAT THE FLYING NARDS
Not as crazy as Pujols sucking it up on D
Whatever, this entire game's a mulligan
Ok, this is retarded like molasses

I want my money back.

Biggest Suckfest: THAT STUPID DOMINICAN LOSER STANDING NEAR THIRD BASE
Does not compute

beep boop beep boop

Beltre made an error?

You know something’s gone terribly wrong when that happens.

Pack up and go home

This is a No Fucking Way game

It became this the moment Sean White started warming up, I'm afraid
So... not Beltre's best game.
This is shaping up as one of those days
One of those days where we score 15 runs in the bottom of the ninth?
If you take yesterday's game, take the exact opposite of it, and poop on it

Then you have today’s game

Well if that isn't a sign that we're fucked, I don't know what is.
Nice impressions Sims

Is this is what this game has been reduced to.

Did I just hear fans singing Hip Hop Hooray in the background?
There has to be something in the water at Safeco tonight.
Valium
Sounds about right.
Wish I was drink the ValiumWater
Judging by the commercials that's also what's in the Coors Light
One of those games where your simply waiting for it to end.
This team was doing so well until Jeff came back
I watched them win in person
You once went on vacation and we swept the A's in 4 games and resigned Ichiro
Maybe he should go to more Padres games, let's chip in
And Felix gave credit to the blogosphere for helping him shut out the A's
And you give Felix crap for being a retard?
Then again, the Ms of 2007 went on a huge winning streak right after the Stanley Cup.
And on cue

The Ducks break the scoreless tie in the 3rd

Here comes a shitty shitter shitface groundball single
The Ministry is working its' magic tonight.
YOU'VE BEEN FUCKED BY SEAN WHITE!!!!!
BRAAAHHHHHHH
I hate games like this

Too boring to get emotional about and no horrible asshole on the opposing team jobbing us.

White did better than Corco.
Did that inning just really happen?

Beltre makes an error yet White pitchings a scoreless inning?

Whatever, what a donkey ass game
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It was a good run

See you next season

We'll bounce back, but we really took it up the tailpipe tonight.
Thanks, regression!
Oh well STRASBURG!
Well this kinda sucks.
Should've PH Griffey to hit that 5-run bomb
Dear God, is this what 2008 was like?
Like this times 101
And not 104
If I had been happy you would have been happy
Did your hat ever get it's 300th win?
Only 82 more wins
102 would've been ok too
No. 2008 was a hundred times worse.

2008 was like falling down hole in the world, darkness and the screams of the insane echoing until you curse your parents for ever allowing you to exsist.
When we finally got to bottom we were kicked in the balls by the Nationals and their ever so slightly worse season.

Here comes the Ichislam!
Fuck the Padres and their flukish good luck.
Its never over until it actually is. And then you die.
Mariners: #1 in ERA, #1 in Regression
I'm starting to hate the word regression.
Dead meme?
Regression to the meme!
No one saw this, right?
Not a meme
Me too, maybe we should start calling it "The Tapering Off."
regression is the new homo abreu
Sweet fancy fuckwad
No more talky
REALLY.

Go to bed?

hahahahahahahahahaahah
You realize he's not actually a butt pirate?
Even classier!
WHAT?!
Seriously - don't prolong this. Even I have my limits.

Log off.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, I know Robert. You already feel like S.
I'm saying he doesn't drive the Batmobile up the Hershey Highway
What frat do you represent again?
I'm just saying he's not into cucumber salad.
Look, if you don't like the long ball, get another hotel room.
butthol?
butthol was far more eloquent.
Why don't you take these next few plays off
Statheads ruin everything
The hell?

Ugh.

At least we get to watch Sean White some more

That makes this so worth it

Lefty slayer up next inning.
Last year, the Angels ruined R.A. Dickey's M's debut as a starter too

They should have let Batista pitch tonight.

Might as well let him "get his work in"
LOPEZ!

IT WAS SO POINTLESS!

That was the kind of play we needed in the 6th inning.
Lopez makes that play look so lazy.
Lopez tried really hard there, good for him.
Nice play Lopez.

Too bad it doesn’t matter.

We were 1-2 the last time we lost.
The sky is falling!!
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops
Forever!
Why turn it on the ones I love, when it could be used for good?
The M's are kindof like that aren't they
Justin Verlander's fastball vs. Ken Griffey Jr.'s swing

I have no idea what the outcome of this will be

Better than Jeff Clement's swing
Pinch-hit Tui!

Bhahahahah

wouldn't have done worse.
This would have been a good game to use Tui, too bad he's gone.

Get something going Endy!

Ahh there's the real Endy
Actually the real Endy doesn't do that very often either
I'm glad we don't have to see that skidmark K-Rod
Fat poop stain
My last memory of KRod was fond
I thought you never called him KRod?
I make exceptions for the times I forget things
Please elaborate

Fuck you and your never including a subject line.
I think I need an apology for that warning now.
Bullshit you do.
I do what I want
Plus it's the end of the thread anyway
This is my first line of defense
That and people who bitch about gif subject lines are fags
I've never had a problem
Consider yourself fortunate.
Why don't you go make some more terrible quality GIFs and shut up?
Off to watch the Ducks Sharks, later guys
Ironically this is what I was doing

but now you don’t get to see Joel Pineiro steal second base standing up

Shucks
It was his biggest contribution that game
Serious question: what's so great about a subject line with an image?
You can collapse it
Gotcha. I always wondered what the point of clicking the subject line and watching the non-bold text disappear was.
Subject line please.
PH Griffey!
Just for fun?
Brian Fuentes looks significantly more tan as an Angel
Has to be the LA sun
Regression is a bitch.
Yeah motherfuck!!
Pinch runner!
Adrian Beltre DP time.
Cause he is unclutch and will never repeat 04 making him a bust.
I will shiv you.
Their shortstop has a little silly in him too!
You think?

yes yes yes
I can't wait until we have at least one .gif for every player
This begs for an Ardenhart joke but I can't think of one
Neither Fogel nor I could come up with a good Adenhart pun over like four hours on Monday
I know

It caused you two a lot of ardenhart ache.

That was okay, you came up with that in a Nick of time
Generic Nick joke.
I wasn't going to go with the

“I didn’t see that coming” line

what
I hate puns
Just wait until the Jakubaustrich!
they will arden your hart
After the accident the medics tried to Adenhart but it stopped
This pun wasn't terrible.
We shouldn't lower the bar any further
I'm so sad I got bumped from opening day. >:(
I was sick!
Remember that one joke we made
I remember one in particular that must never be repeated
Go on!
The exclamation mark was a weird choice there
Perhaps if you whine about it enough we will start to notice it
There no old complaints just new audiences.
You think Nick Ardenhart's family had it bad?

I just drafted him in a keeper league.

Some photoshopping may be required for that one
Great googily moogily
That game was a .gif gold mine
Don't make fun of the poor kid, he's clearly being attacked by bees
It's like Raul running a route!
Or Silva in a candy store!
God, just break every rule
I'm planning on it
All you need to do is post a big picture now
*of Lillibridge

fixed your post

This website was a million times better when your internet was broken.
So was the team!
Better listen to you, you've been through the wars!
I think 2008 has scarred you something fierce

You should go to a shrink

I should probably see a doctor first, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit
Ironically, I like it when mom and dad fight.
I'm a Grover Cleveland man!
You set a fine example
We all get a little wacky sometimes
Aaaaaaaaaaand no more MLB.tv again
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE
???

Mine is working.

That's a shame.
mine works like new
Shit why did I re-open this
We only need 5 more of those!
WHERE THE FUCK IS GRIFFEY?!?!?!!!
Sleeping.
We get it, he's black
Mexicans aren't black Ben Afleck
Maybe next time you could just kinda stand there.
I HOPE YOU DIE NOBODY HITS KING AWESOME!
Well, he hit the crap out of that one.
Bah!

I was hoping Hunter would lose it in the sky again.

SO Lopez is our last hope?

Meh…

Anyone else hate catcher's indifference?

That base was STOLEN.

I'm indifferent about it.
And there goes our 1% chance of winning.
Yay for implosions!
Time to cry in the shower.
Well at least it wasn't a 4-hour game.
Well, that went well.

We still won the series and we still are in 1st. It’s Felix time tomorrow!

SEASON OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
We didn't win?

What the hell is this nonsense?

TOR coming up against the Tigers.

I’m going to the Bedard game on Saturday anybody else going to any game in the series?

I'll be there tomorrow.

Ichiro bobblehead night!

Well shit. I feel like S. after this.

This was whorable.

Well, that was the tenth consecutive game in which we've had a lead

Too bad it sucked.

Still haven't lost a series! 2001 WOOOOOOOT!
Lookout Landing is named after a section in the ballpark right?

Is it that place above the scoreboard? Just curious.

The electronic one.
That's the section Griffey built.
300 level, behind homeplate, facing the sound
So whats due for regression next?
The usage of that word
R.I.P. Regression

2009-2009

That word has been used for years.
Apparently Lookoutlanding.

At least in game threads.

owned motherfuckers
I hope they feel like S.!!!
Well, shit, and here I was hoping we'd go 160-2
Seems like the problem was more on your end
I'm being blamed for my own insane expectations?

Not cool

You can still hope for 160-3.
It was going to happen eventually.

It was like thinking that Washburn could pitch a perfect game last night.

And the Sharks lost

0 for 2

Damn.
