4/18: Open Game Thread, Part 3

If Wak Ball means our catchers start running all willy-nilly then I want no part of Wak Ball. No part!

Here's where Ichiro singles and makes that call look even more retarded
Funk blast to tie the game would do wonders.
Personally I think its kind of dumb to think that way though
Or at least it contains faulty logic
I agree on a logical level

But on the surface, it really pisses me off in a knee-jerk reaction sort of way.

That "Obsessed" movie trailer is running at the top of the screen.

Ali Larter is HAWT!

I read this as

Al Leiter is HAWT!

It's hard to find the new thread when there's only one link
Strategy

Not as effective as saying nothing, though

Precision clicking is harder in my condition
We don't have enough catchers for that strategy
Well, at least managers are still bringing in lefties to face Ichiro
He hits lefties just as good as righties.
And you'd think after 8 years or whatever, they'd notice.
So this guy's nothing special.

Rip ’im a new one Ichiro.

Ohhhh, Seay can you see.....
Still time to make up for the error, Ichiro.
So Verlander-Jackson-Porcello is some serious velocity for three starters
FUCKING BLOODY HELL
Yeah this umpire is going to hell hes a stupid piece of shit
FUCK THIS TEAM
NO FUCKING WAY
This ump's missing a good game
Wow Ichiro, this has been a bad game for you.
Wonder if he stayed to have a chat with Dale Scott as the rest of us went to commercial.
Well, that was interesting.
IMA GUNNA CUT YOU BITCH
And that was a total bullshit strike
BULLPUCKEY
SHOW ME THE WHATEVER YOU CALL IT BOX THING NOW
What? How was that a strike?
Oh good, another fresh helping of bullshit
Fuck this umpire and everyone he loves
4 Ks in the last 2 games for Ichiro
lailaihei, re: "Yuni takes strikes all the time."

Not true.
His Z-swing last year was 69%. That’s in the top 35 in baseball. Yuni’s bad at a lot, but not at swinging or making contact.

That's about the only thing he does
So let him HAVE that.
WHO ARE YOU GOING TO DEFEND WHEN YUNI IS RELEASED?
Well, before Yuni there was Pineiro

I’ll find someone else.

gross
He had a good first game.

I also got an early attachment to Franklin after he pitched those two no-hitters in the minors.
I’m a sucker.

YOU FUCKING LEAVE GUTZ ALONE
Bad read...
(I was careful not to use a b)
By the way, shouldn't your sig read:

“A Forum on Yuni…”

Yeah, but I'd need comments for it to be a forum.
I'm with you 100%
ICHIRO SHOULD GET IN HIS AIRPLANE AND DROP A BOMB ON THIS UMP'S HOUSE
I prefer the Gap Band to do my bomb dropping.
This game has been anything but Outstanding
I fear he may only succeed in awaking a sleeping giant
Both Seattle teams are going to lose 2-0 today aren't they
Having horrible professional sports teams is sorta our thing
I thought that was last year.
Not on Sean White's watch
I miss Kasey
Bring back Preston! Bring back Preston!

Does Ben still look like a deer in the headlights?

It's Eylander, and he's been competant aside from the retarded Riley own-goal

Yay! Zakuani in to start the second half.

I know nothing about Eylander.

my font of information has let me down.

Fuck everything
If you bunt foul for a third strike can the runner go?
On second thought if you could people would do it all the time
Inge needs a uniform that actually fits.
So we should have the bases loaded, one down rightn ow

not out of the inning. UGH

I would be sad if I went to a baseball game and had to watch Sean White

Especially if it’s Felix’s 3rd start of the season

Thankfully it was only Bedard's 3rd start
I just had flashbacks to Felix's 3rd start in 07

Where I got to the game shortly after it started only to find that he was injured and Sean White was warming up quickly

Guess who has the lowest P/PA of our hitters!

Hint: He didn’t come over on a raft!

He came on a boat
Take a look at him he's on a motherfucking boat!
Riding on a dolphin, doing flips n' shit!
Did he go to Central America on a raft and then come to the United States on an airplane?
Better hint: It is not Yuniesky Betancourt
Stupid wave
And, while we are pitching, too.

smart.

His name isn't Francisco Rodney Dave, good effort though
Sean White looks like a right-handed Matt Thornton
Endy/Griffey/Beltre in the next inning...
Endy will bunt
I wasn't kidding when I predicted the M's are going to set a record for bunt attempts.
Well he IS the buntmaster.
Even if someone gets on base, Sweeney will screw it up.
Any good pinch hitters available? I'm trying to remember who is available and I'm drawing blanks.
Cedeno
Hey, I forgot they moved Loafie to first and played Cedeno at 2nd last night.

Kind of surprised me.

Burke, Balentien, Branyan

The killed B’s.

WAHHRRRRGARBLLL
Fair enough.
Holy crap

Yuni got to it.

Well, that was a great play by Sweeney.
FUCKING MIKE SWEEENEY
Nice he had him picked off if he had caught the ball
FUCKING PICKOFF MOVES
why are we throwing pickoffs

when there are 2 fucking outs!! get the dude out at the plate!!

Oh my God, Sweeney couldn't be more worthless if he tried
Granderson is quite the athlete. Can we get him?
MAYBE WE CAN TRADE MIKE SWEENEY FOR HIM STRAIGHT UP
That seems probable.
SWEENEY HAS VETERAN EXPERIENCE IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL

HE KNOWS THE ROYALS

Thankfully Detroit made Bavasi their GM
Only if they throw in Guillen
That would make it fair.

Then I’m in.

Tigers traded away all of their CF depth.

So I doubt it.

You need to catch the ball first.
Woo Beltre

But fuck this game

PLEASE SCORE MULTIPLE RUNS!
Never give up!
Roy Halladay and Cla Meredith share the MLB lead in wins
I don't want to hear the fat lady this inning.

Extras, please.

If we win this game we're making the playoffs

I’m positive of this

If Sean White were a transmission

He’d be an automatic clutch

Greinke and Jakubauskas look very similar
Is it pronounced Porchello?
Poor-sell-o
That's what I was thinking all this time...
It's Porchello, presuming it's of Italian origin
Answer to above trivia question:

Yuniesky Betancourt P/PA: 3.6
Kenji Johjima P/PA: 3.0
Mike Sweeney P/PA: 2.9

But Yuni's swinging more than Kenji.

So don’t anybody be getting any ideas.

If Endy doesn't get on base

We lose.

Back-to-back jacks?
I'm hoping that I'm wrong just a prediction
Endyoscopy
Base hit, walk, bomb. Lets do this.
IF YOU HIT A HOME RUN I WILL BUY AN ENDY CHAVEZ JERSEY RIGHT NOW
Homeruns are rally killers.
Not with no outs
I'll take a walk here
And he shows bunt...
If Ichiro makes that throw and Lopez has a metabolism this is a 1-1 game

Potentially

Doesn't fuck up that throw rather
Griffey's infield pop-up with Chavez on 3B with 1-out hurt as well.
He's got a good eye.
THAT WAS LOW MOTHERFUCKERS
Gameday showed ball 4 on the edge of the zone.
Good start!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
DON'T TRY TO STEAL ENDY
BALL FOUR!!!

I LOVE YOU ENDY CHAVEZ

yes yes yes
Please no DP or CS
Thank you umpire for not destroying our hopes
COME ON JUNIOR!!!!!!!
Woody Keller's strikezone is edgy tonight
ENDY WALK

I APPROVE

YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF MY SMILES
Go my MAN. Walk.
YEEEEHAAAAAA here we go!
Here comes the whiffmeister
Tie run at the plate, here we go!
LET'S DO IT MOTHERFUCKERS

Aw cute he drew us a moving picture
This is fascinating
If we win here, this is the new Rally gif.
There is a reason the wheels are the color of shit
The little engine that could!

They should play this instead of the Rocky clip on the jumbo screen.

I still say this is dirty
That smoke seems to be disobeying the laws of physics
ALLOW ME TO BELIEVE IN YOU AGAIN, JUNIOR
God damn you Griffey
JESUS GRIFFEY
SCORE BEFORE SWEENEY CAN RUIN EVERYTHING
Please get a hit

please oh please

RALLY CHEW TIME
Well, Griffey hit the crap out of that one.
Woo got it slightly past the infield!

Beltre is our only hope

Fuck.

NOW IS A GOOD TIME FOR YOUR FIRST HOMER BELTRE!

Beltre. KILL LADY LUCK.
Not happening.
C'mon baby you're due
AGAIN GOOD GOD SEATTLE
FUCKING WARNING TRACK HITS
Home run or a goal

I’ll take either one in either game

Dang it, about 10 feet short.
FUCK I HATE THIS FUCKING STADIUM AND EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR AND EVERYONE IN IT
GOD I THOUGHT THAT WAS A HOME RUN FROM THE SOUND OF THAT
We're boned
Who must we sacrifice to the BABIP Gods?
Time for Sweeney K: Demon Barber.
GOD DAMN THAT WAS SMOKED WHAT THE FUCK
A WARNING TRACK SHOT AND A FINGERTIP SAVEE AT THE SAME TIME

THERE IS NO GOD

THIS IS EXPANDING ON WHAT I SAID
Sweeney stop sucking just for 1 AB
SWEENEY PLEASE PROVE TO ME THAT I HAVE REASON FOR LIKING YOU
If Sweeney goes deep here, the universe as we know it will end.
That would work for me.
HERE CXOMES MIKE SWEENEY TO SWING AT PITCHES
C'Mon Sweeney, talk about being due.
Been due for 5 years
Sounds about right.
When we trade Beltre to a contender like the Tigers

Maybe we’ll get Inge and Zuyama in exchange

He's gonna see more than three pitches!

moral victory?

HE'S SEEN MORE THAN 2.9 PITCHES IN THIS PA!

WEEEEEEEEEEE

He can walk.

For…Loafie

3-2 oh shit... Lopez on deck if he walks we might have a small chance
PLEASE WALK
Game Over.

Well, at least we have Slimmer Silva going tomorrow!

And now we are screwed I hate this stupid team we are crap
WELL THAT'S A PILE OF PPOP
Fuck everyone I hate my life
Dang it, Sweeney still sucks.
FUCK THAT

FUCK THIS FAILURE OF A LINEUP

ABANDON SHIP
.

WHERE'S THE PHONE?!

SCREW IT I’M JUMPING

2 out of 3 I will take.

Sweeney is nothing more than clubhouse glue.

i thought that is what jr is
I guess it takes 2 people to replace Cairo.
He's more expensive, ethnic glue
Also, please capitalize where appropriate
If so, he's that kind of glue that burns the holy hell out of you
Wak ball lost that game for us.
I thought throwing past the catcher did.
This line-up is Turrible

Turrible turrible turrible

We better be able to trade for Aaron Boone at the deadline
Shut out, but everyone in the West lost, so we didn't lose any ground.
or bret boone
On the plus side, EriKKKKKKKK!
He's not going to want to re-sign if we can't win his starts
how detrimental was that bs thrid stike call on ichiro?
Not as detrimental as his error.
On a scale of Angel Hernandez to Mike Reilly

Dale Scott.

So I'd say taking Edwin Jackson over Putz was a pretty good decision
Well considering we were shutout...

I might argue with that statement. But yeah, bad throw as well.

PANIC!!!!!

This would have been a great day to pull away from the pack but it didn’t happen.
Whatever. Just 150 more games to go.

True, but after watching tonight's offense and then remembering the players that actually

comprise this team, Im quite thankful that we have as big a lead in the West as we do

I think Mike Sweeney should join Steve Hecht as Mariners Performance Coach.

and let someone else fill his well-worn spot on the bench.

Hopefully he'll get hurt soon, go on the permanent DL.. Im sure he can still sit in the dugout the rest of the year
Edwin Jackson rubbed it in Bill Kreugers grill
Jeff, is this an official account?

http://twitter.com/lookoutlanding

They write back to me.
Not really
Officially sanctioned though, right?
Officially known about
Who is writing to me then?
Taylor H
I refuse to believe this
It's as true as your username being NOLAmarinergirl
OH COME ON THAT WASNT EVEN CLOSE
Damn good showing by the away Sounders fans
It's like LL at a LAA game
Is there an official futbol term for the playing of "keepaway"?
Did they soap down the field before the game? Everyone's slipping all over the place
I figured it had rained.

No?

Well, yeah, but I like my conspiracy theory better
It's really wet with the tears of the football gods
Riley the dickhat off, Sanna on, 3-5-2 time

Me likey

Atiba Harris hurt!

That’s what he gets for being a grabby fouly obnoxious pest

I'm still weirded out by their jerseys saying Xbox 360 across the chest

instead of Sounders FC. I’m glad this trend hasn’t made it’s way over to baseball yet.

It's just the way football is.

Unless you’re the coolest team in the Premier League, of course

Worry not

I’m sure once they start winning somebody will want to be associated with them

This is why I'll never get a Sonuders jersey

But the scarves look nice.
It doesn’t bother me with European teams because no one cares if I’m repping an Italian milk company.

Chivas is sponsored by a Mexican energy company
So is Houston

And San Jose is sponsored by goddamn Amway

Listen, you put in the time, you'll do fine

“There’s a sucker born every minute” – they say.

To which I say – “I might as well sell to them”

- Coach Owens, April 10, 2009

(Also, I'd only buy a jersey with the name spelled properly)
Gah! Game vanished!
The Sounders keep roling the ball to the opposing keeper, who keeps sending it far, far away from the goal.
I don.t like him
And another goal, this one actually scored by Chivas.
I reallyu don.t like them
fuck fuck jdlfkasdfkasdlfkaf
2-0 prediction come true?
Unless something happens in stoppage time
And that will be that

Jesus what a terrible day

I thought the game was over.
It turned into soccer chat
Looking back at the tv, apparently it could now devolve into discussing "Grant Goodeve holds trout"
I love it. You crack me up.
