Seriously it's a penis
That's not a finger and you know it.
His face is SOOOOO BIGGG!!!!!!
I just played a softball game that went similarly like every game the Mariners have lost this year.

Except we can’t sell everyone when we suck

This happened?
I can't believe we were shutout.
I can.
Sadder thing is.

The last 20 batters were retired.

This team is unbelievable
Sometimes it's like you say the opposite of what you mean.
SELL SELL SELL!
BLOW IT UP!
SHIT FOR SALE!!! HOT STEAMY SHIT FOR SALE@!@
Boy, it sure is too bad Ichiro didn't score!
Wait what happened behind where his face is?

:(

I can live with this game

because in it Morrow gifted us the double wank.

Huh? Whuh?

The best part is the security cop slowly turning his head, as if he's asking himself, "he's not making fun of me, is he?"
Morrow: "The Gunslinger"
EVACUATE THE PLANE...IT'S CRASHING!!
I like watching the endless stream of guys disappear behind that metal pole.
I blame this loss on Ichiro, who was too selfish about his stats to not steal home.
This isn't singling you out but can we please let the Ichiro being selfish jokes die a little bit?
Benne hurts the website by overusing already dead memes.
Duly noted.

My tendency to overuse memes isn’t helped by the fact that I’m rarely sober while participating in game threads.

What if you aren't joking?

I really do think he should have just said “Aww fuck it.” and stolen home.

Everybody else is this year.

There’s been, what… about a half dozen thefts of home so far this year?

We are so fucking bad.
Hey, I met you!

I enjoyed that part of the game, at least.

I liked it because I could ignore the baseball part.
Rob Johnson was at the plate.
We would have won if I was not "That Guy."
Why wouldn't you want Yuni to swing?
After sleeping on it I stand by my desire for Yuni to not swing.

I also do not believe my expressing said desire for him to not swing has in any way created a difficult workplace for the Mariners.

Adrian Beltre

Go away.

You suck.

and take the monkey with you
Only one of these things needs to happen
Actually I think this was worse than getting shut out by Matt Palmer
You mean because we won that game?
Something like that
Also because Hill 2-hit us
GODGODGODGODGODGODOGDOGODGODGOD
Weren't we shut out by him twice?
Nah he didn't shut us out the first time we faced him
In fact we scored five runs in five innings
Well I'll be a son of a bitch
So on a scale of one to Wainwright, how happy should I be that Rob Johnson has suffered (what I can only assume is) a painful injury?
You should be Betancourt.

Happy as a retarded monkey with a lifetime supply of bananas.

I needed the butthol rule for this one.
I like the chart at least.
Wak
“We have a lack of patience against a guy like Rich Hill.”
"A guy like Rich Hill" meaning "Anyone capable of throwing a baseball to a catcher"
Seriously, our offense is so A Gay it's not even funny.
Washburn was pretty cool about getting fucked by his teamates tonight.
“I feel I should have made a better pitch against Markakis,‘’ Washburn said. "I’ve been nails against lefties all year. I’ve got a couple of lefties coming up right there with guys in scoring position, and I didn’t do the job. I make pitches right there in that inning and they don’t score, we’re still playing."

via Geoff Baker

I've personally never heard him really place blame on other players for anything
He threw Johjima under an armada of buses last year.
Doesn't an armada imply some sort of hostile intent?
Washburn spends a lot of time around school buses.

I imagine he could charter a few to run over Joh.

Me either...

except that whole Japanese catcher/want my own catcher deal.

By the way, was searching for the jpeg of him throwing Kenji under the bus, I found the Jeff knife thread. Still funny

Even though I know opinion of Washburn is low around here.

I feel bad for the guy. I know wins as a statistic is pointless, but the guy deserves some sort of reward for his pitching. I can’t find Washburn’s tRA, but he has been pretty solid.

4.55
4.55. 9% above average this season.
Why haven't we traded him yet?
We just got a big step closer with that performance
The last time he had any run support was his penultimate year as an Angel...

what else is there to say at this point?

Wak's after game comments

“It’s an awful shame to squander a pitching performance like that by Washburn. ..” Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu

Wak, get a clue already. You’re the numskull who’s batting Yuni and Beltre behind Ichiro.
It was a goshdam waste of some nice pitching again, for the upteenth time.

If Yuni and Beltre are still in those spots tomorrow, I feel that my basic like for Wakamatsu will turn to dislike.

Meh, Wak can only use what he's given to work with.

Tom Tango said somewhere on The Book Blog that the difference between the worst ordered lineup and the best ordered lineup is 10-15 runs per season, or less than 0.1 runs per game. Wouldn’t have made a lick of difference where they hit – we’d still get shut down by the creepiest guy of the year (Hill). Wakamatsu’s gotta play Yuni so GMZ can unload him, while Beltre’s still about an average player even with his atrocious hitting because his defense is so stellar – and no matter where you put them, they’ll hurt you, but they both need to play if they are to be traded this year.

The batting order doesn't really matter that much.

There’s an immense lack of hitting talent on this team. It’s not Wak’s fault.

But Griffey!
I keep forgetting he's on the team, honestly.
he's saving baseball quietly this time
It's still bad process to let Yuni bat second and then use him only to bunt repeatedly.
If Wak insists on bunting early in the game, it's probably best to use his shittiest hitter.

In summary: Fuck.

Incredibly, there is absolutely no way Yuniesky Betancourt is the worst hitter among the starters

in fact, he may not even be the second-worst

I count Rob Johnson as a DH on defense and a pitcher on offense
I hate us.
In fact, I'm going to kill myself right now.
I don't know if you heard, but I hate this team and am going to kill myself. Just b t dubs.
pics or it didn't happen
How is it possible

that this loss feels worse than Sunday’s? Sunday’s was a complete feeling of oncoming disaster, but this…this was just a slowly deflating tire all the way from start to finish. You know it’s gonna be flat, and yet you can’t stop it.

Easy answer, we were shut down by Rich Hill. Ouch!
Yeah, that is pretty brutal
Also, I was ready for Aardsma to have a meltdown

as he was overdue. So that didn’t bother me that much. It wasn’t as bad, either, as Morrow, because was hopefully going to be good and Aardsma’s just a reasonable pro who puts in a day’s work.

So, in a competition of the creeps, who wins?

Vicente Padilla had that necromancer look. You just know he’ll be the one to raise the Army of the Dead and use it to rise to ultimate power. Rich Hill looks like you’d find him outside your window on a stormy night with a frying pan, some steak sauce, and a hankerin’ for some of your left thigh.

Gerald Laird always wins.

I may go with Shelly Duncan

but Adam Jones had that zombie thing going last year as well.

Nothing about Gerald Laird is creepy and everything about Gerald Laird is adorable
Especially sideways
I prefer spinning Gerald.
Never forget John Rheinecker

I'm starting to think that this team isn't very good.
I blame the defense for making me believe a little bit.
*run prevention
Belief in the Mariner defense

is the only thing that is keeping me interested in this season right now.

Waiting to see what sort of haul Z brings in via trade isn't doing it for you?

That is the thing I am looking forward to the most.

I really don't ever care about trade speculation or drafts or anything

no matter how good the FO is. Unlike Bavasi, I trust that Z knows what he’s doing, and that’s as far as I need to take it – speculation annoys me.

I wish we had more you
I'll gain weight
You can have mine.
yeah, you seem to have a lot to spare

what do you weigh, about 74 pounds?

Anything under 75 is just showing off
I carry a lot of guilt and anger in my lower torso and upper thighs.

Not many people realize this, but there is a lot of mass in both of those making me much heavier than I look.

that's heavy, man

whoa

He's just trying to say he has a big 'ol dingdong.
We were having a serious discussion about Sec 108's problems with guilt eating and you go and do that.

Way out of line.

Yay another sub-thread winds up in penis land.

Least when the boat sinks he has a built in rudder for his built in flotation device. Very efficient of him.

Is it a rudder or a keel?
Oh, the speculation is horribly annoying

I just look forward to the end result.

Remember the Richie Sexson for Tim Hudson rumor?

I was forever jaded after believing in that one.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Creepycreepycreepycreepycreepy!

Hey, now imagine him with clown hair and clown make up!

Whispering “waaaake uuuup… waaaaake uuuuup…..”

As long as I can see the thumb at all times

Everything will be ok…..
