Lookout Landing

Answering Taylor's question about the Zduriencik/KJR interview ... not much new was learned

Ackley was the best player available, and they love his bat

Was not taking a pitcher on the first day an indictment on the holes in the system? No, more just taking who was the best on their board at the time— and then he pointed out several of the current Ms pitchers who were 2nd day draftees

He avoided answering the ‘ready to trade?’ question by making general statements about doing what was best for the team— and that could be trading for pieces, or trading for a veteran if he thought it would be best for the club.

He’s gotten good at this GM speak.

GONEEEEEEEE

SEX ME RUSSELL

HOLY SHIT!

Pure sex magic.

CRUSHED!

I LIKE THIS NEW THREAD

New threads are a good omen

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Good God Almighty!

RUSS!!!!!!!

MFAN - June 11, 2009 reply

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT

Annihilated!

Mmmmmmmm.....Branyan.....

There was an entertaining 'How to play first base" segment on Fox the other day.

Russell sounded very Georgia.

That would make sense, as he is from Georgia

You're probably right!

And Beltre follows with his own demonstration of pure strength

Goodness gracious!

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

This team is so much more fun to watch when they score runs.

We have a player who's going to hit 30+ HR. Don't remember the last Mariner to do that.

did that^

Your boy

Sexton?

TrashiDawa - June 11, 2009 reply

Richie

BIIIIG RICHIE

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Oh wait, I always confuse the Ritchie and the Canyonero songs.

He smells like beer and can't hit fastballs........or something

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Is this called run support?

Time for that power Griffey walk

Scrupio - June 11, 2009 reply

Success!

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

So anyone think Branyan is a cuddler?

Because his bat can slam the fuck out of everything it touches.

mark sobba - June 11, 2009 reply

Hahaha, Blowers...

What'd he do now......

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

It was a good one, the way he delivered it.

“I wonder what it feels like to… compress… a baseball like that.”

Taylor, check your email.

No, I'm seriously considering your offer. Give me an hour, don't worry, the next sim isn't for 13 hours.

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Cool.

He's yours, D.

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Yuni?

JESUS CHRIST YOU FUCKING CAN'T DO ANYTHIN RIGHT

Wow that was great I love Yuni

Yuni drives in a run, then gets himself in a pickle.

What just happened?

WHAT THE BIG FLOPPY PENIS WAS THAT

What the fuck was that Yuni

Was Griffey that fast? Or Beltre that slow?

Or what was going on?

Beltre held up to make sure the ball wasn't going to be caught, Junior was close behind him.

Wow, he even managed to fuck it up when he did something right

Only Yuni could pull that off.

Nice baserunning, Yuni.

That was hilariously retarded.

Yuni, you piece of shit.

James F'n X - June 11, 2009 reply

That whole play was a hilarious clusterfuck of bad baserunning

All three baserunners tagged 3rd base!

Yuni cracked a bottle before that at-bat, I just know it.

Cedeno is coming back fellas

Scrupio - June 11, 2009 reply

I love when the outfielder does this

Why did Junior get held up?

They might've thought Beltre would be sliding in at home and didn't want Griffey right behind him

He's old.

I do'nt know, he was like right behind Beltre that whole time too.

*don't

For a minute it looked like that clip they like to show, the shot just before Fisk tags out both runners at home

To quote from that masterpiece, "Superman"

“It’s amazing that brain can generate enough power to keep those legs moving. "

That was confusing on gameday

coolconman - June 11, 2009 reply

Damn it Yuni......

C-Nage - June 11, 2009 reply

Why do we even bother with these insurance runs?

Because its fun to watch?

C-Nage - June 11, 2009 reply

Aardsma is a wild and unpredictable pitcher.

Is Aardsma in?

C-Nage - June 11, 2009 reply

No, not yet at least.

Kevin Millwood is throwing an all-contact shutout

God that's annoying

I hate it

Unbelievable!

This game got much hotter all of a sudden.

Did Wieters step to the plate?

No

It’s the whole winning thing that makes it sexy.

I have received no emails lately.

My last was work-related and kinda boring.

It's sad when even the spammers don't want to talk to you anymore

No one has offered to enlarge anything in quite a while.

Does anyone have anything on a link to Branyan's Funk Blast?

I turned the game on literally the at-bat following it.

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2009/6/11/906732/6-11-open-game-thread-part-2#16879113

It's up on Gameday

So, who has the more impressive chinnage...

Olsen or Jak?

What was that Jeff said about Jakubauskas and luck?

Saaaaaaaaaaad Jakubaustrich.

No corn for you.

James F'n X - June 11, 2009 reply

Let's not coast to the easy win, lets make it exciting

The M's are only too happy to oblige

Uh oh.

Stupid.

James F'n X - June 11, 2009 reply

Alrighty than.

meh

Game getting less sexy....

Jeez Jak

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Haha it's clear that Adam Jones sucks.

That's like a sac-fly.

We're winning this motherfucker

don’t sweat it.

I wouldn't want that loser in our outfield.

That could have been worse.

Jak goes down when RR-S is ready?

Or one of the catchers.

MFAN - June 11, 2009 reply

Johnson please.

I forgot we had three active catchers.

I really hope that they put Rob Johnson on the DL or something instead

Quiroz time!

It must be Ex Orioles Fuck The Orioles night

Based on Quiroz's single and Olson's shittily effective five innings

Perhaps it could also be Mariners beat the Orioles night

Complete with rain!

Where can I pick up THAT movie?

If we lose it's because we neglected to pick up Brandon Fahey

Mark Hendrickson and Gregg Zaun take terrible pictures

Was Gregg Zaun the one with the BAMF website?

Yikes.

That wasn't so good looking. >_>

joof - June 11, 2009 reply

Ichiro ruins this team

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Ichiro K'd twice on the same day. He's not making it to the HOF.

.

Smile Ichiro! At least the team is doing well!

mark sobba - June 11, 2009 reply

I feel like I just saw something I was never meant to see

I know, it is a pretty awesome shot a friend of mine got last sunday.

mark sobba - June 11, 2009 reply

I misread this

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

That may have been the ugliest swing I have ever witnessed from Ichiro.

Wilder. - June 11, 2009 reply

Line drive time.

Is Lowe trying to grow muttonchops?

He had a wispy beard before, I remember

I’ve noticed Beluga Tits is “trying” as well.

I loved how Sims described it as Lowe "being issued Civil War sideburns."

Wilder. - June 11, 2009 reply

General Burnsides is actually where the term is derived from, believe it or not.

Why can't Balentien be more like Nolan Reimold?

Whats Reimold doing thats so special.

Hitting

Nolan Reimold sounds and awful lot like Nolan Ryan

He should change his name so I am no longer momentarily confused when a ball is hit to left field.

I've been saying that for years

And walking

And hitting for power

This guy is such a dumbfuck.

And a racist

Would that be Reimold or me?

cause I object to the dumbfuck

Russak

He replied to himself...

Well that took awhile.

Lynch his ass.

Some one is reviewing bobbleheads?

Nothing but fastballs that inning

Really boring straight fastballs

But fast!

So the Angels are getting clobbered.

That is always nice.

We have identical run differentials!

And are about to be tied!

I could give a fuck about the division. I’m happy to just beat the Angels

How does Millwood do it?

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Beltre funk walk

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Pitching around Beltre to get to Griffey.

Hey now.

Didn't work!

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

BWAHAHAHA!

BOING!

...

hah

KEN

GRIFFEY
JUUUUUUUUUUUNIORRRRRRR!!

GRIFFFEY!!!!!!!!

Hahaha

bahahahaha

Think Jones didn’t trust Reimold on that one?

Jesus fucking christ that was at your head

Alright

Who has the Yuni ‘baserunning’ gif?

Which one!

Its hypnotizing

gator arms

From today, please.

Thank you.

Did somebody make one today?

I don't recall something giffable, only something stupid

Isn't that your job?

Sigh.

No, his job is to write awesome stuff about baseball, not adhere to your every whim and request

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

I thought his job was to suck dick for money as a prostitute on the streets of San Diego

Did you here the story where the hobo in San Diego made fun of Jeff, Matthew, Graham and NOLA for being Sens fans?

Did you hear the story where the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl to the Steelers due to being greatly outplayed?

It's funny now!

Promise?

Of course not

Offsides!

If the point of the game is to put the puck in the opposite goal than one could infer that the Senators were offsides of their ultimate goal

In the end that goal didn't matter!

Neither did the offsides!

I can't believe we put the puck in our own net

I can't believe I lost the link to that gif

Emery's back, baby!

I really hate these bait fights.

:(

I think there is a baseball player who is local to Seattle and probably rooted for the Seahawks that also wouldn't appreciate these bait fights

I always forget if he ended up on the Mariners though

Jason Schmidt retired I think

No some recent pitcher who was really tiny

Like a tiny Tim

Really?

I thought Schmidt was still around, just perpetually hurt.

katal - June 11, 2009 reply

I don't see what Jeremy Bonderman has to do with this.

He doesn’t like hockey.

Did the hobo's dick get sucked?

Figuratively yes

Hobos don't have money so I'm not sure why someone would suck it

What about change?

For fun?

Hobo’s need loving too.

Do they, though?

Making .gifs?

I would die

Kids these days, sassing their betters.

Now, back in my day…

He said Yuni, not a twelve year old girl fleeing a swarm of bees

That was a ball

Well, this is fun to come home to after thinking this was heading toward a postponment.

And wow, Angels. It’s always Mariner-y to see a game in which they had the bases loaded in the first, got no runs out of it and now are down 11-1.

In the first inning they had four baserunners and no runs!

It just struck me that Yuni can hit .300 the rest of the season

and I would just hate him all the more for it.

Aardsma time!

Yes???

Ugh

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Here we come .500!

This is just great.

I love how Griffey's positive clubhouse presence

translates mostly into vague homoeroticism. I guess that’s what they mean by chemistry.

What do you mean?

So what you're saying is LL has a fantastic clubhouse?

That rules.

Time to Aardsma these guys' nutsacks!

Sabathia's thrown 120 pitches tonight and counting

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Super

Shit they better not ruin our shot at the wild card

I would be so upset

And he's done

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Holy crap, 124 in total. Livan-like.

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

why is Aardsma slow

Simon Phoenix - June 11, 2009 reply

Took some pointers from Batista.

K!

K!

K!

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

Aardma's fastball seems to be quite a good deal better than Lowe's

I think you need to check those radar readings again

Not enough fastball

Does anybody even remember what we traded to Boston to get Aardsma?

Fabian Williamson

He was a waiver claim

IIRC

Whoops

The Future!

Billy Mays here with another Aardma fastball.

Olson washed up and looks as handsome as ever

This is why I prefer him over that butch Vargas

Speaking of chins ....

nice shot of Russell mopping his brow.

Franklin was giving Felix those knowing eyes

Why is Nick Franklin with the team he hasn't signed yet

Swing and a miss

And the mariners aren't even batting so I'm not sure how he swung and missed

Or his whispering eye?

Wow

Cedeno has giant tats on his arms….

They can't be that giant

They're bigger than mine....

Unless you're a professional athlete you probably don't want your arm tats to be bigger than Ronny's

I think he means Cedeno has

a Rich Aurelia tattoo

Oooooh

Making jokes that are over my head = me not being able to get them and therefore, sad.

KK!

Mmmmm.

KK!

This is the least surprising win ever.

I believe it

I hate it when that happens

KK!

.Taylor - June 11, 2009 reply

This is mildly exciting.

3-0 count time!

.500!

Welcome back to .500!

.500!

Ballgame!

VICTORY

katal - June 11, 2009 reply

.500!!!!!!

pmc47 - June 11, 2009 reply

Ayup

That’s how it’s done ladies

CHOOOOOOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOTHERFUCKERS

AWWWWYEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My word

it’s huge

Like Cedeno's tats

Doing

Aardsma's motto:

If at first you fail try and try again. And again. The same way. Again.

I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can

First time at .500 since 2003!

Earlier this season?

Not to mention 2007.

katal - June 11, 2009 reply

I can't believe I forgot about 2007

what a boner on my part

Perhaps you also forgot about our Opening Day win in 2008 too

Oh shucks

And come to think of it, I recall that we might have been at or over .500 at some point this season too.

Wow I can't believe I missed that.

Perhaps you should institute the 30-second rule on yourself to avoid such embarrassing mishaps in the future.

At least I wasn't repeating an annoying meme from two years ago

True.

You get half a mini-gobstopper.

NO DAMMIT

This win felt like finding a fun size box of Gobstoppers

What?

That meme sucks.

I am unfamiliar with this use of gobstopper could you fill me in?

Oh, one point like three or four years ago we used gobstoppers to signifiy things

that should be good but weren’t. Because you thought gobstoppers would be a better candy than they actually were.

Only the very original LLers were there and used that meme. It was like the ultimate status symbol.

Would you mind if I and a handful of others began to use it now?

Only if you can stand coming off as ultra cool, sophisticated and totally hip to the LL scene.

This comments is two gobstoppers good

neato

I mean gobstopper!

Now you're on the LL trolley!

I would. Posers.

I think Gobstoppers are tasty therefore its mean you say gobstoppers anytime anything good happens

Well aren't you just an Almond Joy.

Yeah I got nuts

I was even at that game

jeez

It's hard to forget when it cost us Erik Bedard's labium

I see what you might have intended to do there!

Do you know the origin of the word "boner"?

Just curious

I do now
