We're up 5-0

Despite being 2-13 with RISP>..

THIS TEAM IS THE WORSTTTTTTTTTT
This team is totally unstreaky.

Bring back 2007.

Ichiro is being streaky.
At least our pythag wasn't harmed by our little losing streak
I know I go to sleep every night comforted that our pythag is ok
I'm so sorry to hear you had a stroke
Not a big deal really, the left side is the less important side
Is a tea party a party with multiple tea bags?
I see you only close the threads so that you can have the very last word eh Jeff?

Touche.

This is why Matthew is clearly the better mod.
I hate reopening old game threads
I posted a giant clown Jeff in the September 11th GT a week after the game.
It was deleted immediately
No it was not
It was deleted after two minutes
There was a 75 comment ST where I panicked, NOLA and Fogel laughed at me and eventually Graham came in and fixed it.
You posted it at 8:23 and it was deleted at 8:25
Philly homers: Ibanez, Bench Elf
Dobbs?
Oh yeah.

Backing the debut of one of the finest baseball names in ages: Antonio Bastardo.

So if new Fogel is the worst does that mean Poochie is back in the ROY lead?
2nd worst!
No that would be Robert
I feel like I would have to be among the worst
Would you like a cookie to make you feel better?
Don't patronize me. I know where I stand.
No, seriously, do you want a cookie? I have several in my van.
You lead the way!
You're not as fun as Coach.
We should probably hold some sort of election
Hold some sort of erection?
Penises, we get it, this is a Mariners blog
I am convinced that this community can not go through an entire game thread without making a penis joke
I only want to make penis jokes about Jeff's penis because they make everyone uncomfortable.
Not since Jeff opened that can of worms
Guess what I opened it with
Your can opener?
Ow what the fuck
I applaud your flexibility and coordination and pain tolerance
Why should people vote for the incumbents?
Is there a Miss Congeniality?
Coming soon - Miss Lookout Landing 2009
We tried to make a calendar but no one would pose. :-/
No one asked me. :(
Go for it, RC.
My calendar would be sad. Me holding a pretzel? Not a big seller.
You smiling holding a pretzel in the shape of a <3 would be adorable.

Not that I know what you look like, but there’s no way it could not be.

Well that was dumb of us
There's still seven months to go.

How do you feel about cheesecake?

Trick question.
Is this like Coke and New Coke?
Poochie is a cheap trick.
If we have a ROY and MVP can we have a satirical award that we give to the worst poster that's been banned this year?
What if the worst poster hasn't been banned ?
I believe this 100%
I'm still here somehow
Your Coach sonnet was fantastic.
Most of them have apologized and given a second chance.....
Please don't blow it Ms

Because if anyone will, its this team….

Bedard hit 100 pitches.
Boy, his arms must be tired.
Bad things happen after 100 pitches.

Time for Sean White.

Do you think anyone would notice if we kidnapped Wieters and left Jakubauskas in his place?
I don't see what special WIeters. Practically another Rob Johnson with better defense.
Obviously. And Rob's batting average is 20 points higher.
Something like that....
I think the rest of baseball would
You Brits are much better at intrigue than we Yanks are.
Whenever one of our pitchers gets to a 1-2 or an 0-2 count I worry
Go get him Waga..
I am surprised that FSN crashed just now
The high fastball approach doesn't seem to be working
Why is he still in?
Our manager is an idiot...
They think he'll have higher trade value if he pitches 7?
Needs to go seven in order to be a bonafide ace someone would trade for
Its cool, leave him out there. He doesn't seem to be tired at all

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2008/9/11/612741/9-11-open-game-thread-part#8688745

Wrong thread retard

Graham deleted it to cover up for me.

I posted this because I enjoyed it
I actively make the community better
This is just proof that you ain't nothin but a crab nigga
rec'd for hate speech
The "Worst September 11th ever" comment is still good
I love that Fogel's pun has gone from 4 to 7 recs
It's like there is a secret society that determines these things.
I didn't rec it at the time because I was banned for a LaHair pun like the day before
That was a month before
They're like posthumous recs
This will be 112.

Holy crap.

Its too late....

For our manager to prove he’s not an idiot…

Is anyone else thinking "time for the Mariner bullpen to be hilarious"?
I'm so confused.

Softy told me Bedard only ever pitches 5 innings.

How many of the 3 Bedard is responsible for will score?
Heh

MLB gameday says “Sean White” replaces “Sean White”

Gameday says Sean White replaces Sean White
Clearly Sean White is irreplaceable
WHITE WHITE BABY!

Get them out, white white baby…

What do you have against black babies?
They aren't Kill The Other Team's Rally Fries.

Blowers is a retard. I didn’t care to begin with but it’s starting to get on my nerves.

Yippie for rally fries when we're ahead and on defence.
well, they did hand them out before the inning started ...
Scott double play...

Get it done, White!

Well, no, but we still get an out.
That was the worst warning ever.
I enjoyed that.
Luke Scott is a large young man,
Not as large as Russell.
With 11 home runs.
On MLB-tv, White is starting his warmups.
Apparently you have to turn off Nexdef or it'll be 5 minutes behind
They should have flagged game thread incompatibility
Stop that you can of paste
Nice job, Sean.
Out of the jam, very nice.
This White guy is pretty good.
White Power
Things never posted on the big board at Safeco Field?
Why on earth is the defense of Thermopylae the metaphor our bullpen has embraced?

Come to think of it, it works well: Aardsma going out against the Angels for the fourth time in four games was brave and courageous and had about as much a chance of success as the 300 against the Persians (except there’s no Athenians equivalent around for us to win the Battle of Salamis afterwards). :(

I just heard the bare bones of that Sims comment about Wettland and the 300 ....
Another Griffey double!
Griffey is finished
Needs more siren
Also, why is the siren not on the sidebar?
I haven't updated the sidebar in months
We use the DP T-Rex all the time
That would be why, then, I guess.
Also it's stolen and not really our image
The Griffey spin however is 100% LL
Yes, that is, for sure.
I noticed that it's the [ZOMG NO POLITICS] Siren.
It's not fair use?
Needs more crazy Zduriencik Fett gif
And fireworks.
2 doubles?

Well color me surprised

Hmmmmm...... If surprised were a color what color would it be?
Shocking pink?
Our offense is pretty above average based on tonight
Yep that was an excellent job on a 2-2 count
Lopez swings at a ball to make an out

That means “nice job” in Mike Blowers speak

Ok, so he did get the runner over.

But he took a hack a ball 3 (at head level) to do it. Bad Lopez.

Time for Rally Fries!
Jose Lopez does not deserve a high five for swinging at a ball at his eyes.

Not that his teammates shouldn’t high five him, but Blowers shouldn’t be a teammate in the booth – he should be an analyst.

Also, people should work out all of their differences and grievances peacefully and with mutual respect.
Ha Bedard smiled then realized he was on camera then stopped.
.

Oh God, it's like the sun exploded into french fries.
And you got three different dipping sauces!
YES
Unfortunately the sun is gone and we are all dead
But at least your selfish ass got your french fries
Yum.

French fries.

That third dipping sauce was the best one, wasn't it?
You expect the first two but when they bring out that third one; You know you are living like a king.
How many swinging strikes did Bedard have tonight?
Probably not as many as Yuni...
Good work Yuni

Rob Johnson will get it done!

"It's all up to Rob Johnson!"

Fuck.

It's a miracle pitchers ever throw a strike to these fuckers
I hope when Yuni steps into the dugout Lopez punches him in the face
I DIED FOR YOUR FAILURE
I hope he punches him in the face with his dick
Oh boy, Rob Johnson.

.181 average really gives me confidence.

but he's the Pride of Montana!
Montana must have a low self-esteem.
Wieters has .160 average and the O's fans won't shut up about it.
I'm guessing their arguement is that he has potential and Rob Johnson does.

Not defending the Weiner lovers, just saying.

*Rob Johnson doens't
So All Night with Jason Smith mentioned the Ichiro hitting streak last night.

It was Mike Salk in for Smith. However, he preceded the hitting streak info with saying that noone in Seattle likes Ichiro and he’s the most polarizing figure in Seattle. Normally I don’t care what the national media says about us but the guy has a show in Seattle on 710 and now the country thinks we all hate our best player.

Mike Salk is a fucking moron.
Everything that I've heard about Mike Salk has been positive
He's been pretty good

Unfortunately, they don’t take a lot of calls, and when he does, you get the anti callers calling in.

I listen to him all the time

He’s actually pretty good. Sometimes he goes off on rants I don’t really agree with, and he can be kind of an ass to people who disagree with him but he’s not terrible.

I've been pretty pleased with the whole ESPN radio lineup actually

Aside from Colin Cowherd who is awful.

That's because when he first went on air here, he got a bunch of the "Ichiro is selfish" callers.
Pretty much...

Just ignore radio hosts WRT the Mariners…I had the “pleasure” of hearing on KJR that Griffey had “earned” the right to play this year, regardless of if it would hinder the progress of, you know, people we’ll use in the future…COUGH JeffClement COUGH

The good news

Calabro was discussing UZR today with Larry Stone. I almost drove off the road.

Sims was talking about THT just the other day on the broadcast
OPS gets mentioned, too.

I can recall when OBP was something you got from Bill James Abstracts.

You can't stop Rob Johnson.

You can only hope to contain him by walking him.

Bahahaha

4 pitch walk.

Let's go Endy!

We need more runs.

Adam Jones has led off an inning like a million times this game

He’s such a prima donna

He took Selfish Lessons from Ichiro.
Is Morrow coming in?
More Sean White.
This game is longer than my
Johjima?
I miss that Jap for some reason.
I can't imagine why
It may have something to do with Johnson staring everyday.
Cool glove.
Run of Eli Whiteside jokes?
game last night?
Hatred of Brian Roberts?
I don't believe that's measured in units of length
Could be measured in time though
i.e. I've hated Brian Roberts for years

It works

That's true but then it makes his comment sound ridiculous considering how long we've hated Brian Roberts
I started hating Brian Roberts two hours ago so it's not terribly ridiculous
I'm difficult
But it responded to the hyperbole of an overlong game . . . .
Perhaps I wasn't being hyperbolic
You're difficult
One time when I was blackout drunk I thought that a thermometer told time and it was measured in feet
Is what I was told
YOUR PENIS, IT'S YOUR PENIS ISN'T IT
Now you just look like a pervert
The pitch right before the bad pitch was a good pitch
Nice throw, Loafie.
Red rover red rover send Loafie on over
Has anybody else heard about this Stephen Baron guy?

I heard he sucks and the Mariners are taking him with the 33rd pick. Thoughts?

Marienrs are cheap bums.
Catch and throw guy with more power than the Mariners expected when they went to scout him

I’m not excited

Fucking shit
"Yadier Molina type" they sez
I thought this organization was smart now
Catcher defense would appear to be their blind spot
We're drafting Scott Heard!
Who is responsible for all of these rumors
Please please please get GMZ drunk and change his mind
HAHAHA
While his swing is fine mechanically, he doesn’t square balls up well at all; he pushes his hands at the ball instead of the bat, so he swings and misses often and really doesn’t want the ball inside. When he does square one up, he has some power and puts good backspin on the ball, so there’s hope, but the team that drafts him is going to have to teach him how to hit. If he hits just a little, he’s a big-league backup, and of course any more offense gives him a chance to be a regular.
Rob Johnson in the first round
He's never going to make it
Seriously. Where is the chatter about the M's drafting him.
Is it from Churchill?
That was my assumption
This is from a reliable source
I hate this team a lot
Whatever, Ackley
Any numbnuts can pick Ackley.

I am not judging the team on their ability to do the obvious thing. Hey Sonics! Way to pick Durant! God you are smart!

I don't like the one pick but they have a lot of high picks that they need to get signed
So reach on someone with some potential instead of drafting Rob Johnson
McNamara was surprised by Baron's power recently
One time in a friendly baseball game in high school I hit a ball out of the softball field.
I don't know
No keep going. I'm enjoying pinning my frustrations on an innocent bystander.
And more importantly, it shows that the front office has an obnoxious blind spot
I hope no one ever says that about me.
I hear he's "a natural leader with outstanding makeup"

oh, wait.

Maybe that was Rob Johnson.

Maybe it's Maybelline?
Hahahahaha Lopez!
That was incredibly awesome.
That little latin boy sure did move fast!
Awesome throw.
Lopez tried a trick play.
The old "throw to ball to 1B like I am a competent fielder" play?
Parkyakarkas Markakis.
What the hell was that contrived Markakis pun that was awesome?
I was shocked by how much you guys liked it

I didn’t think it was anything special when I posted it. But thanks anyway.

I only saw 8 recs on that, and 1 on another earlier, so I have no idea where the others come from.

Good job by Beltre, keep Rob Johnson away from the ball.
Hello, Jamie Walker.
Handsome feller?
Noooooope. Just being neighborly.
He does have sturdy underpinnings.
Well, no wonder you were being neighborly
Hello, Lecherous Moustache
Gutz speed!
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BRANYAN IS AWESOME!
That's a pretty sexy muscle
Branyan!!
Robert improves on his 3.5% chances of not getting cockpunched!
BRANYAN IS THE HITTING LFTIES
BRANYAN IS HITTING THE LEFTIES
SEX CANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUSSEL THE FUCKING SEX MUSCLE BRANYAN!
BIG SEXY MUSCLE!!!!
HOLY YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He likes the two hole!
When the two hole is working, it is the best ever!
RUSSELL THE MUSCLE
And Jarrod Washburn says "fellas? remember me?"
Beltre :( Please be good again
Watching us get hits and runs is SO much more fun than the usual crap.
Wow that kid is a tool
An enormous douchebag
What was Griffey's walk up music just now?
Oh shit!
We got the shit in the bag, my friend
A bag full of doubles!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I can't believe how finished he is
I'm still pulling for him to finish with a .250/.360/.420 line
.730 OPS.....
.743 actually

That was fast.

What was fast?
The rise of Griffey's OPS
He would need to add .100 to that number
GRIFFEY BOMB!
JUNIOR HOMERED
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WHEN IT RAINS IT GRIFFEYS
WOOOOOOOOO!
GRIFFEY HOMER!

BACK TO BACK! RUSS AND JR!

Actually Beltre screwed up.
GRIFFEY BITCHES!
GRIFFEY GRIFFEY GRIFFEY GRIFFEY
GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It had been too long since I last saw a homerun, so I'm glad Junior hit one
Branyan just went deep like two minutes ago
Kenny likes the warm, muggy weather.
I hate this team
They hate you back
HOLY TURD BOMBS!
I think Cedeno wanted a piggy back ride from Jr.

He said no.

GRIFFEY IS DONE

Jamie Walker sucks and didn’t get the memo

Griffey a triple away from the cycle.
If he hits a triple, at least Griffey will finish his career with a cycle and a blown ACL.
I get the impression that Jamie Walker is having an off night
Franklin Gutierrez catches that!
Adam Jones misplays that ball and it goes for a double.
What the fuck is going on.
Griffey just broke Gameday
That was crushed.
Almost 3 in a row.

Jones can suck it, nice hit Lopez.

Uh sorry to rain on your parade but Branyan homered then Beltre got out then GRIFFEY HOMERED OH MY GOD!
Ooops, took a nap through the Beltre at bat.
Adam Jones awkwardly falls into that
WHO SAYS BUYING A JOSE LOPEZ JERSEY IS CRAZY
Like everyone man
Buy all you want

I’d just wait till his new team issues his number

OLD MAN GOT SOME POP
And The Fucking Cat Comes Back The Very Next Day
I like how Beltre's at bat was immediately forgotten
Who?
Oh that fag?
That was so weird. I didn't see AB's PA at all.
GRIFFEY HOMERED OH MY GOD!
Not by AB.
This is how I deal with every Beltre at-bat

It’s a defense mechanism

Holy Crap.

Two Doubles and a HR for JR in one night?

And I heard he helped a little old lady cross the street earlier too
No, he gave her a piggyback ride.
After resucing her cat from a burning building
That was Jose Canseco.
Cedeno isn't that effeminite.
Leave his wife alone
Denny Stark in
Well...

If there was ever a time for his sorry butt…

Remember the last time we had an 8-1 lead?
Remember when Griffey and Branyan hit back to back home runs?
I don't
That's because this game is longer than
I'm kidding it was a penis joke
That day never happened :)
Mark Lowe's got some awesome music.

Headstrong – Trapt. Good closer stuff.

Never mind, that's Stark.

I’m losing it.

Willie "Pops" Stargell Touched Me Under The Bleachers.
That's a beyond terrible song that I only liked because it pissed my friends off even more.

Makes me think of Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
I'm just SIIIIIIIIIIIIINGING IN THE RAIN!!!
He looks like ET 75 years younger.
I love Johjima!
You are like fire to our tree of dead memes
Since when is that dead? How was I to know?
Common sense?
Why would that be common sense
People have tried to make it work but it was only funny in the post
Yep
I suck at Lookout Landing
Just don't try so hard.
There are drugs to help you with this.
Those drugs may make you try so hard for longer then 4 hours though.
You're not the only one
Exactly.

It just didn’t make sense outside of the post.

That meme died the day Jeff gave birth to it.

It was a beautiful child, but it never had a chance at life, poor thing.

It just doesn't work unless it is almost never used, and I don't think people were using it in the spirit of the original joke
Felix Pie looks like a stereotype
Yeah that was fair you moron
Griffey's SLG% is skyrocketing this game
How would Bedard's pitching be lost in this game, Blowers?

His stuff was so good tonight the umpire fell in love with his location
LEVANTATE (EVERYBODY) GET UP
ADRIAN GONZALEZ IS BATTING
I like how according to the offensive recap, everyone did something useful except for Betancourt.
Ichiro didn't try to throw the runner out at home... Selfish!
WORLD SERIES!
GRIFFEY HIT TWO DOUBLES AND A HOME RUN!
Did you just see Ichiro getting along with his teammates?

INSANE!

Itttttttt's Kouzmanoff time
That's what Kouzmanoff time looks like, yes.
About time.
GRIFFEY HAS HIS HAT ON BACKWARDS

HE’S JUST A KID OUT THERE

Everyone Shut Up She's Bacccccccccccck!

He reminds me of a slightly evolved Mariners in 07
NY Vinnie is interviewing the offensive hero of the game

Rob Johnson

Branyan is just happy to be on the tv side tonight.
Rob Johnson is Fogel?
He could be posting from a Blackberry in the dugout...
It's not like he's doing anything else of value.
Did anyone else see Branyan staring at her boobs when they first went to them?

And then she asked him how he likes the 2-hole. Ha.

They were presented at eye-level.
I live to infuriate Graham

Heyyyyy boyyyyyssssss
He's the prom queen! Look at that wave, awesome
That's not the Prom Queen wave ....

that’s the “bye bye” wave your gramma gives you.

I like to think that he's waving at Clement
What is the sound of one hand clapping
I already posted that gif with Morrow last night
Although that was two hands individually clapping
Rob Johnson is just warming up the fingers.

The other one had already been grasping balls all day.

Cause he's a fag
Okay.
You're the one who mentioned grasping balls
You should be the lead character in an Arthur Conan Doyle novel.
Don't you understand that calling someone a fag if you think they're actually gay is no longer ironic and therefore fucking retarded?
IF YOU GUYS KILL HATE LANGUAGE I WILL MURDER A NUNNERY
Stop being such a gay
The sound of a no-hit catcher!

I was wondering how you solved that Zen koan.

"HI JEFFIE!"
I'm texting A

Ichiro’s hitting streak

Because if you vote B

You admit that throwing like a girl is okay.

Stop being mean to Erik Bedard.
You'll hurt her feelings!
I'm going to miss Bedard's interviews when we trade him
There is often a glazed look in the eyes.
I saw the Lawries during the broadcasts

but missed the other cheerleaders
