Lookout Landing

Hey, we're back in business.

This guy looks like an electrician.

HEY LOOK! This game is on the TV!

mark sobba - April 23, 2009 reply

Oh hey...TV...neat.

Not a good swing there.

Why isn't Burke stealing??

Wak ball…..!?

Fun fact

Runs scored in Angels series = runs scored in rest of home stand

That IS a fun fact

That wasn't fun at all.

Not one bit.

Ok. Maybe a little.

An insurance run or two would be nice

xavier42 - April 23, 2009 reply

With this lineup, we should be thankful for the one we have and not get too eager.

I love how Ichi! get that in the first, it's been the Keystone Cops with gloves, and a tight zone ever since.

Good game to be at.

Kermit. - April 23, 2009 reply

ICHI!

What did he do??

Stole 2nd, no throw

Got it!

ICHIRO!

STEAL!

Is that when a mom says

Finish your food because kids are starving in Africa

Ichiro Speed Impact Moment

Ichiro is fast

Do that two more times Ichiro and we might be in business.

When was the last time someone legitimately stole home?

Like Jackie and Maury Wills did?

Good thing the Satellite hit didn't affect MLB.tv

There was a satellite hit?

A satellite relay station in Atlanta was hit by lightning apparently

At least that's what they've been saying for like the last 30 min while the M's have clung to their lead

Steal! A run is now possible!

What Matthew said

RE is 0% right now

I was operating under the assumption that Endy could hit a single which was clearly ridiculous

At least you realized you made a false assumption

CMON MORROW!!!!!

Fucking shitballs

Both teams have more errors than runs

PLEASE DO NOT FAIL ME BECAUSE IT WILL CRUSH ME

It's interesting that we were hitting so well with RISP for the first week or so

Morrow time.

DON'T FUCK THIS UP MORROW

I BEG YOU, PLEASE. PLEASE BE GREAT.

I SECOND THAT BEGGING

Morrow time!

AND THAT'S GREAT IN THE RESULTS BASED WAY RATHER THAN PROCESS.

Brandon in..

Game……?

Not beginning.

Sad

in or around 9th inning

I have absolutely no doubt in my faith of Brandon Morrow against Carlos Pena and Pat Burrell

Urghhh...

:(

I have no doubt either

I can't tell what you mean here

Suga suga how you get so FLY FLY AWAY

The power of positive Matthewthought

We've only scored runs via the long ball the past two games.

It's 1997 all over again!

Griffey, bitches!

MORROWTIME BITCHES

This is one of the weirdest baseball games I have ever seen

Hey!

DON’T FUCK UP!

Pena scares me shitless

Fear not.

And keep thy shit.

I believe in you Morrow!

Someone hold me because Brandon still scares me

More or less than Kazu

I’d say Kazu scared me more

Kazu did have the benefit of being FUCKING AWESOME

Kazu threw strikes

wasn’t scary at all despite being the opposite of durable.

Would if I could dear

Carlos Pena just agreed to.

He can’t bear to see someone scared and worried.

He's actually very good

James Kannengieser - April 23, 2009 reply

So this is an LL gamethread

Fun time

Its incredibly tame tonight

James Kannengieser - April 23, 2009 reply

I'm a Met fan, here for Endy

I’ve heard about legendary game threads here, and something about “Club LL”

Ah. Well, hello.

You picked a laid back game

(crosses fingers)

Club LL got raided and is currently under renovation

Fucking kids and their E-Bombs

You missed to Yuni breastfeeding abomination

Is it hidden? I saved the image just in case I ever need to repel a demon.

Your hard drive is going to melt

I liked it

If LL has taught me anything, its that we will gif him/her at the first sign of boredom.

Awesome.

Zwakamatsu - April 23, 2009 reply

The shift worked!

The shift prevails!

Thank god for the shift

1 pitch 1 out

1 DOWN

SHIFT!!!

Hey nice use of the shift!

The shit was on?

It was bananas.

Aaaaand the shift works.

1-out.

Yay shift

1/3 of the way there!

Hells yeah the shift baby

Kermit. - April 23, 2009 reply

2 MORE OUTS

Watch Lopez, Yuni.

He knows how to position himself.

TASTE IT!

Adios Carlos

I hate this fucking ump.

russak - April 23, 2009 reply

2-0!

Strike?

FUCK THIS UMP

God that ump is terrible.

Eyebrows - April 23, 2009 reply

n

Irony.

Give me a strike call please

SkipT - April 23, 2009 reply

Walking Burrell could be predicted.

Should be 0-2

That was a strike, dickhole.

This strike zone is crap.

!

If you’re a boss and you catch your employee shaking at his desk, staring at a computer screen, because “Brandon Morrow is closing out a game”, do you fire him/her or hug him/her or walk away and act like nothing happened.

Pay raise

Hug and walk away.

Offer him sick leave.

Well those looked good to me

Morrow's first pitch out of the zone results in 3-1 count.

This ump needs to die

FUCK FUCK FUCK

here we go

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK MORROW

WHY WHY WHY

MELTDOWNNNNNNNNNN IN MY BED

Gameday liked those offering better than the umpire

Three strikes.

He threw 3 strikes there.

Those were not bad pitches dammit

Here comes the DP

3 of those balls were actually strikes.

Eyebrows - April 23, 2009 reply

at least according to the handy dandy Gameday

Tracer showed 2 pitches out of the zone in that AB

and the last one was just inside.

The Fit Man is running now, be afriad

I have confidence in the GIDP here.

5-4-3 DP is the only approved option.

Oh well it's Pat Burrell

Only Jesus can not walk him.

The bat

indeed

Ben Zobrist needs to ESD

I would approve of this umpire being waterboarded

That's torture

Your point?

BTW nice Mountain Goats sig

zomg

But it's only for pure malevolence's sake, not for information.

No torture is Brandon Morrow in a close game with a fun-size strike zone

I thought fun sized was fat?

Think candy bars.

appleshampoo - April 23, 2009 reply

More candy seems like it would be more fun

Yeah the name doesn't make any sense in reality.

But that’s what it is.

appleshampoo - April 23, 2009 reply

Should you be saying that?

Maybe not

No... technically, no.

Just checking

What kinds of answers would you be looking to get out of him?

I love waterboarding in the summer

(6 times daily)

WHAT DID HE DO WHAT DID HE DOOOOOOOO

BB

:(

Zorbist time

Zobrist

Is that German?

No idea, but I prefer Sims' pronunciation.

It's Nazi.

STRIKE THIS..

AND THE FOLLOWING FUCKER OUT

Ok Morrow ONE MORE

ITS TIME FOR HTE MORROW BENDER

Morrrow needs to stop throwing to first.

That’s and E1 or E3 waiting to happen.

Die Benzo die.

0-2>>>>>>>2-0

Learn this Brandon.

2-0 wasn't really his fault

96 MPH,

russak - April 23, 2009 reply

joof - April 23, 2009 reply

Pretty funny. Baker said after the 1-0 win vs Oakland..

That we wouldn’t win another 1-0 game all year

Rudy4three - April 23, 2009 reply

WHAT THE HELL THOUGH HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

Ichi homers. Felix dominates.

This is what Mariners’ baseball is about.

.Taylor - April 23, 2009 reply

And the Rangers are losing

THANK YOU LL FOR STAYING WITH ME THROUGH THIS ODD AND DULL PAIN

Felix should get to punch every other Mariner in the face.

!Ichiro!

joof - April 23, 2009 reply

Everyone but that guy, and the bullpen

mark sobba - April 23, 2009 reply

Win streak in 1 run games

2nd 1-0 game of the season! More to follow, hopefully.

.Taylor - April 23, 2009 reply

3rd, I believe

This one and the Bedard game. What was the third?

.Taylor - April 23, 2009 reply

We took a series from the Rays!

well

1) Bad hitting (check)
2) Poor fielding (check)
3) Aardsma throws strikes (check)

VICTORY

I told you guys the Rays were one hit wonders.

Susheel Ramasahayam - April 23, 2009 reply

Their WS appearance was a fluke.

They had four hits today dipweed.

Talkin' about the entire season

Oh my god, really?

Well now I just feel horrible.

Robert, please accept my apology. It was a misunderstanding on my part and my part alone. I meant your upstanding character no harm and shall endeavor in the future to make sure I have your meaning clear before I embark to correct you.

I was looking forward to this reply.

Nicely done.

Please stop talking like Graham

Cracker ain't got no trademark onnit.

Fortune Cookie would be a better name.

This is more horrifying

Shit just got real yo

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no

This makes me smile.

I for one like the new, funny, Matthew

SSS, heavy regression looming

There is no reason to make a penis joke whenever Matthew's name comes up.

Small stubbly scrotum?

The damage has been done : _ (

Funny!

mark sobba - April 23, 2009 reply

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS

AND FLYERS

Do we really have to worry about the Rangers

Considering all 4 teams are pretty mediocre, I would say, yes.

The Rangers are markedly worse than mediocre.

Maybe I'm being too kind.

If they bring up a couple of their young pitchers they might improve.

I think I picked both my Hacking Mass pitchers from the Rangers

They already brought Holland up

He looked good

Our only advantage over Texas is

That the difference between our pitching and there’s is slightly more significant than the difference between their hitting and ours.

Our only advantage over the Rangers is that our team is better than theirs is.

That's what I was saying but in a much more unnecessarily complicated way

We have to worry about everyone

Hey Graham, you think the Blue Jays might be This Year's Rays?

The Blue Jays were sick last year

How could they be as good without Marcum and McGowan at full strength

RJ baiting?

It's actually a continuation of a running conversation from my earlier FanPost

From his "google alerts, you mean?"

Rays rays rays rays rays rays

.Taylor - April 23, 2009 reply

I think they're more likely to be this year's Blue Jays

Clap clap clap clap clap

Everyone over to BBB!

Let's crash that party of one!

These Canadian announcers kind of sound

Irish.

Pretty much the most uncomfortable job in the universe

She looks like she's about to pepper spray him.

COLUMBUS TIES IT!!!!!

Suck it menstrual drinkers.

Gross.

Also, fuck there was a good game on and I missed it.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

Devils won, Faux!

Also – menstrual drinkers?!?!

Red Wings.

And Brodeur ties Roy for playoff shutouts.

Reeeedddd Wings. Of course.

Still learning. Brodeur is a stud.

I probably came up with that one on my own.

I’m too scared to google to find out if there’s somewhere else I would have seen it.

I'm not. I'm googling it.

Oh God, don't.

Rest assured, you didn't.

I didn't mean first. I just meant at that point.

Ah.

There’s a bar a couple blocks away from me called The Redwing, and my girlfriend is convinced it’s a lesbian bar. I asked her why, and . . . yeah.

You'd think they would name their team better.

Teej - that is disturbing.

Faux – I think they named their team exactly right.

Not arguing that point.

Blue Jays win.
