Lookout Landing

I really don't see that going well.

Would Carp at LF be better?

Probably no though.

I know Carp played a little LF in Tacoma, maybe he could play there?

The idea of Russ in LF scares me a little bit.

Branyan runs a good deal better than Carp.

This coming from someone who believes Justin Upton has average speed.

I haven't watched Upton play much, so I'll freely admit I could be wrong about that. How fast is he?

Also, I didn’t say Branyan had good speed. He’s just faster than Carp.

And how much have you seen Carp play?

Not much either. I'm going off of what I read from Baseball America and the like on that.

I’m not asserting these opinions of mine about these three players’ speed and defense particularly strongly, either. It’s just a few impressions I got from scouting reports I saw and watching them play a few games.

Branyan is probably faster, Carp just has played more LF recently.

Suck it Byrnes.

I have found evidence that Eric Byrnes indulges in, uh...

extracurricular activities. He is, perhaps, the greatest pirate hunter in the world.

That's who he looked like!

This is so incredibly amusing.

This feels like the Sounders-DCU game.

With Aards out, I would really like several dozen more runs.

Wlad again!

WLAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit another one!

Whoa there Wlad

BALENTIEN!!

WLAD is the MAN!

Wlad!?

Balentein

says no souvenirs for anybody!

Craig Powers - June 21, 2009 reply

Balentien would have won the Cubs a World Series title.

Two times.

I hate our fans so much

The dude on the right actually made an effort to get out of the way.

Shocking.

Wlad loves the fans.

Just a tad nasty!

Atta King!!

KKKKKKKK!

Fuck yeah Felix.

Send him back out for the 8th.

What's his pitch count?

101

Yeah why the fuck not

Retard

101

101

101

101

CI

101

Now that is a good Mariners ad

SF takes a 3-2 lead.

Good job laying off that pitch

Even though he wasn't sure about it, I'm glad to see him trying.

Remember when everyone had turned on Felix a month ago

I didn't!

I was the voice in the wilderness

I turned around.

Every now and then

Because I got a little bit lonely

And Felix wasn't coming around

Lahair might however

I really doubt that given our plethora of competent first basemen and left-handed DHs

Oh no he didn't.

I did not.

I didn't.

I didn't.

But then again I am always optimistic about young players.

I did, that fucker could still pitch smarter

He's still retarded

A retard with a ginormous mastodon cock still has a ginormous mastodon cock

He may not know how to use that giant mastadon cock, however.

He could probably stand to vary his routine every once in awhile

Wouldn't want it to get boring.

Of course, Robert is probably easy to please

ITS A FUCKING GINORMOUS MASTODON COCK

JUST FUCKING APPRECIATE IT

Not all of us like penis as much as you do

Some of us find this idea horrifying, in fact

I respect people that scissor

ugh

wut

Toodles

how about no, no, no and never again

I can't wait till we use this ironically

You can't always just try to force it in there as hard as possible.

It’s good to vary your speed.

The girl is bitch if she doesn't recognize the honor she has been bestowed.

Nice Yuni

Good Yuni AB.

Is it too early to PH for Cedeno?

Well cocks

My goodness

What a god damn waste.

HAHA! Yuni is fat and slow

Even when he was fast he was a terrible base stealer

Sigh

That was sort of close when he popped up actually.

Why do they even bother sending him?

Fuck.

Yuni might have well just tried to get in a pickle.

Wow, he was only out by what...5-6 feet?

ronnyronnyronnyronnyronny

They say it's your birthday?

Probably their best effort at Father's day

Considering his birthday is in February

Maybe it's for Doug Davis.

Every day you’ve survived cancer is like another birthday. Except no one gives you cake or sings. It’s just you and your IV pole.

Careful what you wish for

Oh dear

Better!

Why no pink bats for fathers day?

They should have pink mits instead

Or pink cups!

yes

Should be blue bats.

Blue balls*

Fantastic

Seriously, you need to chat about Ronny?

Keep smacking em Ronny

Or make an ickle wittle hit

God that camera angle is so fucking bad

This is one of the only times an IBB makes sense.

Hah!

Intentional walk to pitch to a guy hitting .444!

Chris Woodward will punish you.

Damn, good move.

So good, the player’s average dropped 44 points!

I fucking hate Chris Woodward

I hope he chokes on his own penis.

Success.

I wonder where I could find some scorching hot lava sauce.

That taco tastes like shit.

Susheel Ramasahayam - June 21, 2009 reply

What, Taco Bell doesn't have it?

GO FOR THE GOLDEN SOMBRERO!

Aw

Olson/Ostritch warming up.

Oh my.

I wish Sean White could have finished the job last night. I'd like Aardsma to be able to close this one out.

I would love to see Jaku get the closer's label.

Interesting seeing them warm up in the 8th.

They are usually our long relief guys.

Justin Upton loves to face: Premium Hates to face: Premium

Churchill is not going to be pleased

Sounds like he's confused about fastballs

I logged in to see it.

Yeah, just as uninteresting.

Can you get gameday premium without paying for the entire MLB package?

Is gameday premium even worth it?

It's neat.

I think you can.

I wouldn’t pay for it, though. But I get it with my MLB.TV, so…

I'd say no - the best gameday stuff is all free.

The heat maps and instant highlights are cool, though.

Balls.

FUCK

Sheeeeeeit

Fuck

Oh my.

SADNESS

Aw man.

Well fuck me in the ass.

I just turned this game on.

That was my fault.

HORSE FUCK

Sonofabitch

CRAP, CRAP. CRAP

Aw shit

That's shitty.

Worst home-run ever.

CRAP

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

What a bundle of fun today is

And that's the game.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT THAT LOOKED LIKE A ROUTINE FLY OUT

"Major league poke"?

Yay. I caught that one too.

I think I will start calling my really good sexual performances as a “Major League Poke”

Don't expect that call up to the show any time soon.

HA! Zing.

I will stick to amature play.

You know what they say: Anyone can hit a home run in the batting cages but it takes a special person to hit it with 30,000 people watching.

Seems like that should be followed with a high-five and a chest bump

I wasn't going to go there.

You only live once!

(Don’t listen to me)

nonononono

Wheres Major League Achilles to piss off Major League Bean?

I was wondering if something like that was going to happen.

http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2009/6/21/920465/6-21-open-game-thread-part-2#17248840

Yeah...

Well fantastic

At least we have the meat of our lineup coming up.

Hahahahahaha!!!

Fiddlesticks.

:(

ScottBrowne - June 21, 2009 reply

How the hell did he hit that out?

They better get Branyan and/or Beltre in there to pinch hit at some point.

Apparently Branyan is only available in an emergency

I'd say this qualifies. Break the glass and get the Emergency Muscle out.

What constitutes an emergency?

Injury I would imagine

We're boned

C'MON CARP

Time to put some runs on the board, losers.

Damn, Reynolds just threw his bat at the ball and happened to hit the sweet spot.

Fucker.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone call for the bouncer before

This Medical Care Club commercial should never be aired again.

WOOHOO

Yes yes yes

Weeeee!

Heh.

Works for me.

Thank you.

Caught a break, let's have a BIG inning.

Yay!

There's a break...

USE IT.

Yesssss come on Sweeney!

YES YES YES

Pinch-hit Griffey!

HAHA SIMS

Jose Lopez gets nowhere near that ball.

So Schoeneweis hasn't had a lot of luck in this series

And that right there

Is why the D-backs suck.

What?

That they allowed an infield hit

Then f-ed up the play too…

Well for one they don't suck and for two they're defense is good.

their

29-40 in the worst division in MLB

Isn’t sucking?

Bad luck and the NL West is better than the AL West

Ohhhhhhh that's why.

Ahahahaha we're going to break Schoeneweis

Worked Friday

Branyan’s HR opening the floodgates…

I think he is already broken.

What he's a lefty specialist? I thought he was a one inning set up guy

The D Backs are treating him as a specialist

If you remember he pitched to Branyan only Friday and after Russel took him deep he was out…

He missed so much time, I'm guessing they are trying to ease him back in.

PINCH HIT!PINCH HIT!PINCH HIT!PINCH HIT!PINCH HIT!PINCH HIT!

Bunt with Sweeney here?

Can Sweeney bunt?

No and apparently not

Ahh neck tats. Always classy.

He has an I tatted on his neck?

.

Ah I see.

Apparently it's his wedding day.

What a Rauch...

Byrnes as point guard, Sims?

If Griffey is available for pinch hitting duties why the fuck aren't they using him here?

This is a perfect time to use him.

Not really.

PH penalty and Griffey is hurt-ish.

Didn't know he was still hurt, gotcha.

Nasty skin rash, that.

Wak will pinch-hit for Gutz.

Watch it happen.

Texas loses.

This has potential to be a glorious day

YES!

Sweeney!

SWEENEY!!!

Sweeney time!

woo

cmoncmoncmon

Weeeeeee

Hit the crap out of that one.

We’ll take it!

Unexpected!

CMON GUTZ!!!!!!!

Fly ball fly ball fly ball fly ball no DP.

I'd take a DP if it scored the run.

DP is okay.

As long as the run scores.

Gutz, let's do it here.

3-0, your pitch come in up.

They're conceding the run for the DP?

Yup, good strategy

Have to trust your offense…

Please get a guy home from third with less than 2 outs

How bout one of those homeruns, Gutz?

This isn't PetCo.

3-0. God I love him.

Oh snap

TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE

Mash this next pitch

You better not K.

Well that'll do.

WOOOOOOOO!

YES

Yes yes yes! Dammit Sweeney

CAAAAAAAAAAAAARP!

So, it was all Bob Melvin's fault, huh?

I'll take it!

I'LL TAKE IT!

Alrighty then.

WOO HOO!

GUTZ!

Awesome.

That'll work!

GUTI it worked!

Could have been better, but I'll take it.

Keep it going!

More, More, More.

Hit-and-run

So,

Texas lost. Yay.

ass

Put one in the gap Yuni

Nice Yuni!

GRIFFEY

Yuni, very nice.

Huh.

GRIFFEY!

JUNE YOUR!

Yuni!! and now Griffey!!!

HERO MODE TIME

Griffey!

Gee there's a shock

GRIFFEY TIME!

GIMME SOME OF THAT OLE TIME RELIGION!

thank you

Wasn't that lead up and HR call beautiful?

It was perfect.

Much like Rizza lead up call on Boone and Cameron’s back-to-back homeruns, back-to-back times on May 2, 2002.

I don't recall that one, you wouldn't happen to have a link would you?

With 4 homers, Cameron crows

I do, but it doesn't work anymore.

I have tried contacting MLB.com on getting access to it, but they have been terrible in responding to the matter.

Home Run number 5000!

IBB him, it would make the crowd go crazy.

I would like that.

MURDER ZAVADA WITH YOUR BAT

Should have kept Burke in the on-deck circle. Looked like they didn't have the lefty

up until Griffey came out.

Rudy4three - June 21, 2009 reply

GRIFFEY!!!

I AM SO HAPPY

I MIGHT JUST START CRYING

In pain

Get us a lead Jr! I can't be the only one who would miss exttra innings to have dinner with my Father.

Pfft. You're no fan.

Drama indeed.

The eighth inning seems magical this year for whatever reason

I want him to hit a weak ass grounder that ends in an error

I want a dinger

Griffey = Bullwinkle

shitbird

Well that sucks

Aw.

HAHAHAHA

Dang it.

RETIRE

AS A MARINER

!

*

…

That was the ultimate "Everybody in the stadium stand up and scream"

For a can of corn.

Ichiro will hit a walkoff HR in the 9th.

And by "walkoff HR," you mean infield single, two SBs and a wild pitch

Nope

yes

That depends on how eager he is to get home.

JY - June 21, 2009 reply

Don't forget ice cream level.

Has Ichi ever hit a walkoff funk blast as a Mariner?

Yes.

When?

If that happens

you will join Poochie in the called shot game thread Hall of Fame.

So...who wasn't expecting that?

I was expecting a strikeout.

Samesies

Am I the only one that wants Griffey never to start again just so he can come into every game for one PA like that?

Granted sometimes he would walk, or hit a HR. But the intro is pretty cool.

I want him to never start again because he's a terrible fielder,

but I think the intro’s cool as well.

Muttonchops!

Was Lowe good last time he pitched?

Rob Johnson! Game over man!

Uh, Yuni?

OF FUCK CTHULU IS STARTING FOR THE PADRES WE'RE SCREWED

WTF? Did anyone see Gaudin's picture?

Humongo - June 21, 2009 reply

The wtf? beard?

...

Humongo - June 21, 2009 reply

Pfft.

Reminds me of my sophomore AP history teacher.

Looked like a dead rat.

SIT THE FUCK DOWN BITCH

Snap!

Don't walk him please

I could have sworn it was the 10th

Lowe walks lefties a lot.

That was a suspenseful call.

FUCK

FUCK

God dammit

Missed the tag?

Yup. Nice slide

WHAT?

Oh

Well that was a tad worse.

Mmhmm.

We suck at tags sooooo much.

Not much he could do there

HE COULD HAVE NOT SUCKED AMIRITE

I suppose you're rite.

Sucked like Jeff Clement right there.

Is that like pyrite?

He's been taking advice from Yuni on how to tag runners.

Dbacks has to be one of the more unfortunate nicknames for a team.

Please get out of this.

Lowe, finish this NOW.

He will.

In a negative way.

The man can't even finish growing his facial hair.

THANK YOU MR. LOWE

Best part of Rob Johnsons game right here, the mound visit

I'd rate him a 70 on the 20-80 scale.

Is that one of those scout rating systems?

Indeed it is.

He’s only a 40 runner but for a catcher that’s like a 110.

I just imagine his mound conversation as a trip to the psychiatrist, it's more entertaining

Is it retarded? Then, yes.

Buh?

Sorry, never been a fan of the 20 to 80 scale.

Because the numbering is weird?

Because that I can see.

Yeah.

Way to go Rob! You fixed him!

I would really rather he never throw that pitch in that location again.

That location is fine.

The benda!

NICE PITCH.

K!

Lowe!

K

Snaps!

BENDYNESS!

And bingo was his name-o

What is going on?

Off speed strikes!! Mark Lowe!

PINCH-HIT GRIFFEY!

3-0!

TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE

GOOD RONNY

Nice Ronny!

RONNY YOU FINALLY LISTENED!

Walk-ball

DO NOT BUNT

I would very much enjoy it if Ronny had Zavada's facial hair

No.

I would prefer that Rob Johnson had a Hitler 'stache.

Sweet.

ICHIRO TIME!!!

LET"S FINISH THIS OFF!

Alrighty then.

Yay Ronnie! Way not to suck!

ahem y

Hey hey!

Come on Ichi!

2.5 is a beautiful number at this point.

2.5?

back of the Rangers

Games back.

Games out of first.

Think about it.

Actually I just think it's a beautiful number and in no way shape or form does it relate to Ichiro or the game in general.

Ah. Thank you for thinking for me, in any case.

Perhaps he was aiming for the moose.

DO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT DAVE

I want to twirl that mustache more than anything.

So Cedeno is like the Nick Punto of the Mariners.

NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME

Baiting you.

Damn it

CMON ICHIRO

Zavada needs to return to combating the nefarious machinations of Cardinal Richelieu.

I wonder if he has a twin brother

Would have been PISSED if they rung him up there

I think it's dumb that you can get called on a checkswing strike when you are trying to keep from getting noggined

Pussy.

Maybe you shouldn't be swingin at a ball coming at your noggin.

It's funny when they duck and leave the bat sticking up, and it turns into a bunt single

Hit-and-run

No.

Not allowed to hit and run with Ichiro at the plate

Didn't realize

What’s the thinking there?

Ichiro is a really good hitter so asking him to do anything specific is kind of silly.

Actually with Ichiro's ridiculous contact rate he is the perfect batter to put on the Hit and Run.

It might make sense.

I stand by my above comment

I would agree, but Ichiro swings at everything in 2-2 counts

Once it gets to 2-2 then yeah maybe.

What I was thinking

If he’s swinging anyway, might as well give it a shot.

And mainly, just that if you're going to H-n-R with anyone, Ichiro should be the hitter you do it with.

I bet Zavada drinks a lot of PBR

You know he's friendly with the beer bong

He is in foul-off-everything mode

Ichiro can foul balls off in his sleep.

These types of PAs seem to result in a rediculous strikeout or a double

Good heavens

What a generous soul

Nice

Thank goodness he has wheels

YES YES YES!

ICHIRO!

ICHIRO IS FAST

Heh.

That. Was. Awesome.

Devin - June 21, 2009 reply

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

HAHAHA

Wow.

WOW!!

YES YES YES

Ichi!

What a glorious man.

I want his babies

BUNT

THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO DO SO

HOMERUN

Ichiro a'flying baby!

You are mistaken. He looks older than that.

He is ageless, like an Elf.

It was Niehaus' call in the radio, he was very animated about it

flying comma baby

My pinky finger is very silly sometimes

Ichiro wants this one.

Wouldn't Cedeno have been out at second?

Absolutely

Ichiro is FAST!!

It's time to WAK THE WORLD

M's struggle getting runners from 2nd with less than 2 out. Makes me nervous as hell.

russak - June 21, 2009 reply

Don't get cute, Woody

You tried to get cute.

He didn't listen.

FUCK YOU WOODWARD

Do net leave this up to Sweeney because he will disappoint us all.

russak - June 21, 2009 reply

Shit

Okay, stop doing that now.

I just assumed that since he's bad he'd be a good bunter

This kind of thinking makes people think Rob Johnson is a good defender.

I changed my mind after two bunts

So Woodward isn't a great bunter.

So...is he trying to bunt or something?

Carp is going to have his first walk-off of his career!

Well done Woodpecker

WHAT THE FUCK

ARE YOU MENTAL

Fuck.

FUCKING SHIT WHY DO YOU LEAVE IT ON

God dammit, come the fuck on

2 strike bunt whaaaaaat the fuck

Idiot fuckface why bunt for a hit on the line if it's a sacrifice you putz

D'oh.

Well that's all kinds of gay right there

Thanks for that even further back camera angle, FSN!

Bahhhhhh.

A bunt with 2 strikes? WTF

This is what happens when players do'nt go through bunt training with the club in Peoria

I don't understand why you would leave it on there

The rationale would be to stay out of the DP but still what the fuck

Because bunting should be easy

Get a single, bro! That would be some pretty sweet hangin'.

DOUBLE STEAL

Absolutely not.

Why do you leave that on

When he’s already missed two down the line? Moronic.

I guess I feel like you have a much better chance of getting that down that him getting a hit

And the DP possibility is involved, too.

We're going into extras, aren't we?

What the fuck, why would you bunt htere?

GO CARP GO

Fuck pitch tracker

I can’t believe he swung at that.

Bunting is stupid

Please throw one through the 5 hole.

OH BOY SWEENEY

MATTHEW LIKES HIM

Oh good it's up to Sweeney

I have a good feeling about this

The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and Mike Sweeney is at the plate.

Could life be any better? I don't know.

PINCH-HIT BRANYAN!

Ronny you count!

TIME FOR VETERAN LEADERSHIP!!!

Why couldn't Woodward do that?

It's time for the most amazing safety squeeze ever

Go get'em Sweeney.

Game on the line, Sweeney is up.

That speaks for itself.

Mike Sweeney will save us!!

I MEAN SERIOUSLY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MISREPLY LAUGHING TOO HARD

IT WORKED HERE TOO

IBB Sweeney.

He’s a veteran!

Oh shit, they are?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

JESUS FUCKING RETARD

They're walking Sweeney to get to Gutierrez! Yes!

This is interesting.

FUNK IBB

YES THEY ARE WALKING AN OLD MAN TO GET TO A COMPETENT HITTER

Need some walk-ball right here, Guti

IBB Sweeney? Buh?

Wait, seriously?

You’re walking Sweeney to face Gutierrez?

Okay, time for Gutz.

Intentionally loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth?

Where have I seen this before?

Go, go, Fruity Pebbles.

Apparently A.J. Hinch thinks he's still playing for the A's

Ha ha, almost threw it away.

That seemed foolish.

BRAN-YAN! BRAN-YAN! BRAN-YAN! BRAN-YAN!

Injured Branyan with PH penalty is not better than Gutz

And hey we're fresh out of spare CF'ers

Who would play center if we go to extras?

Ichiro.

He's in right

He'd move over.

Would he play both?

Yup

Sort of like how Gutz can top and bottom

That could have been the best who's on first conversation, but Gutz topping and bottoming works

When all else fails, go gay

Always a safe bet sailor ; )

Ok that's a little uncomfortable, and I even made the joke

Uhhh Branyan duh.

They're probably move Cedeno to RF, Ichiro to Cf, Woodward to 2b or something.

They'd*

And Branyan/Beltre to 3rd.

Burke!

NEW DAY, NEW WAY, GUTZ TIME.

Zavada so wishes he was a 1940's boxer.

40s? More like 10s.

Yeah I had no clue what era I should have actually gone for. 40's sounded good.

Bye bye mustache

Aha.

OK GUTI DO NOT MAKE US REGRET OUR MOCKING

I am absolutely perplexed.

Why would you be willing to bring in your closer in a situation where giving up runs doesn't guarantee you lose

But not in a situation where it does?

I wish we would have won it on a IBB wild pitch.

Chad Qualls throws strikes like he'll win millions of dollars for doing so.

Which is to say, he throws them frequently.

And he wins millions of dollars for doing so.

Thank you for explaining for us

Well good pitchers do tend to make millions of dollars and good pitchers usually throw strikes.

This can only end in a Gutierrez grand slam

esoteric - June 21, 2009 reply

I'm thinking top of the 17th, Eric Byrnes infield single.

Just to fuck with our minds.

My ear is still sore from last night.

russak - June 21, 2009 reply

He swung for it.

OH GOD HE IS DOING THE GET TWO STRIKES AND THEN WHIFF THING

Correct

But :((((((

Is that Gaudin?

I think that's :-( <<<<<<

I was thinking Jabba the Hut

but yours is much more relevant to baseball.

WHY IS HE SO TERRIFYING

HIS NAME SOUNDS LIKE LOLS

Walk him in.

Let's go Gutz, be the hero.

We couldn't trade Rob Johnson to the D'Backs before the game?

The game would have been won twice already.

Kinda surprised the Safeco ceowd don't have a wave going.

I STILL LOVE HIM

I keep thinking you're calling him a rather

inappropriate name.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

I would assume, but still.

Wow.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE HILARIOUS NON MARINER THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD

I leave for a couple innings and look what happens

THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE HILARIOUS NON MARINER THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD

ahahahah sweep and above .500 because of THAT

I'd hate to lose like that.

Hinch immediately heads down the tunnel to break something.

His own fault for IBBing the bases loaded.

Sweeney!

HE SERIOUSY JUST DROPPED THE BALL. I COULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WE WILL SO FUCKING TAKE IT.

I can't believe this lineup won.

;-{( <--- sad Zavada

Not nearly as sad as Tony Clark

Why is he winking?

It is a tear.

jimmylauderdale - June 21, 2009 reply

He cries sideways?

His face could be sideways and therefore he'd be crying down

So he's collapsed in a drunken stupor and now he's crying uncontrollably.

I can picture that.

He is resting his head on Jon Rauch's lap.

OlSalty - June 21, 2009 reply

Nothing like a walk-off error.

YAY PORNSTAR!!!!!!!!

Talk about your Major League Pokes!

Sex me good you beautiful team

Was that a sweep?

No, that was an error.

Yay and now back to the Padres!

Feel the heat Texas. FEEL IT.

"Does a nice job of keyholing up"

…what?

I could only imagine he means looking for a pitch in one particular location and not swinging unless it's right there. Luckily "not right there" was outside of the strikezone. Or something.

2.5 games back!

OlSalty - June 21, 2009 reply
