LOAFIE LOAFIE LOAFIE
LOPEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAFIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Lopez hits homerun upon arrival of new thread.
RONNY CEDENO IS THE BEST LINEUP PROTECTOR EVER
Obviously since you apparently can't throw him strikes because he will bunt them all for base hits
Thank the good lord
What a terrible time to make a new thread

That ball was in the air when the comment hit

It is too late now, Jose.

You can never win me back.

Me too but I'll take it
Much like his brother, Loafie is dead forever to me
GODDAMMIT RONNY STOP DIVING INTO FIRST
LEAVE H(IM ALONE IT WAS GORGEOUS
DO YOU WANT HIM TO JAM HIS WRIST?
OPEN A NEW THREAD SO IT HAPPENS AGAIN

GO GO GO

Nice bunt

I wish he would stop diving into first base though

Better comments, any suggestions?
CEDENO HUSTLE!
THAT WAS SO FUCKIHNG SEXY!
GRIFFEY?

There should be a facepalm randomly inserted in there somewhere
Why is his head being squeezed?
GRIFFEY! Reverse protected Loafie!
This new thread is very good luck indeed.
.156 BA!!!!
SWEET RELEASE!

for 30 seconds.

Does Cedeno remember how to run the bases?
Guess not...
Ding dang do
What's up with our commentators calling Catchers 'good athletes'?
It's the nicest thing they can come up with?
Oh, Endy.
Damn you Jamie Burke for not protecting Endy Chavez
I'm beginning to think we need a new LF
Michael Sanders
DICKEY SIGHTING
It's that fag, Gutz, isn't it?
Joe Mauer is good
Too predictable.
I think we should put Branyan and cleanup and have Cedeno hit third.

Pitchers will realize that they can’t pitch around Cedeno, and he’ll immediately start hitting like Teixeira, according to a fan I spoke to. I can’t believe our stupid retard manager doesn’t know this.

Such a shame see an asset like Cedeno go to waste.
As a Yankee fan, I have a particular disgust for wasted assets.
That's mean.
Burke should have lunged to bunt that ball
Finaly gets on base and poof...

Gone.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TIME FOR A BONG
I mean bomb!
Can't it be both?
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
CALLED IT
No you didn't.
Look up four comments
That was posted after the HR was hit.
Busted!
BURKIE!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Burke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F'N BURKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JAMIE FUCKING BURKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK JAMIE BURKE JUST HOMERED

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
BURKE HOMER!

SCREW YOU ROB JOHNSON, WE HAVE JAMIE BURKE NOW!

BURKE AHAHHAHAAHHHHHAAA
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

BURKE?!

HELLO YOU STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES
WHAT THE....!?
GUTIERREZ PROTECTION MACHINE
YES YES YES YES YES JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JAMIE BURKE IS FINISHED AS A HITTER AND HAS NO VALUE TO THE BIG LEAGUE CLUB
But he's so fucking lovable!
I was mad he didn't make the team out of Spring Training

I just like the guy

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Burkie I love you
JAMIE BURKE JAMIE BURKE JAMIB BURKE
Power surge!

The M’s Big Bats are coming alive.

WAY TO GO SEX WAGON
Jamie Burke has more homeruns than Rob Johnson
CLEANUP HITTER
Burke > Johnson
A paraplegic mongoose is better than Rob Johnson so that's not saying much
Dude, my family was killed by one of those, what the hell?
By the look on his face he couldnt believe how well he hit that ball
It's funny how Burke might still get sent down in a few days
What? MLB.tv freezes and Burk goes yard, lame.
I saw that too.

BTW, what happened to Johjima?

I heard there was a problem with him and the pitching staff last year and this year.

They killed him

It was a sad, violent act of racism. The fact that you didn’t notice marks you as an insensitive clod

He broke his toe.
I'm sorry I asked.
Oh, ok these guys weren't kidding about the broken toe.
You believed that? Wow.
Graham's comment was the actual reason.
If only his second little piggy had protected it better
I love that guy.... I am so happy!!
And Burke is protecting us all from having to see Rob Johnson
Something we are all very thankful for.
If I'm the Twins I'm pissed
Dickey!!!
Interesting

So you guys close the threads and move one to new ones mid-game?

It's hard to load them when there's over 800 comments
Doesn't everyone?
It's a real waste of internet pixels.

We just blow away asset resources like this.

If only you guys would protect your gamethreads with some flowcharts
I see that I am late to this joke and am shamed by my lateness
Better late than early though

otherwise your comments would be wasted in less leveraged situations.

Boy am I glad we have OlSalty for protection
Hooray I'm useful
We have so many comments that they start to lag very badly when the threads get too big
It's protection for the first thread.
You're priceless, Teej.
All very cool reasons.
The only reason we stop in the middle is just to make it look like we have more stamina

We stop, take a quick breather, and then get right back to it

That's what I do.
That's pretty good advice, I might try that
Just be careful. That could lead to other problems.
Just keep kissing during the break and there should be no issues
BHAHAHAHAH

BURKE!

The best part of that is the fact that Clement becomes even more irrelevant
Ahahahaha that just cleared the fence.
A BURKE BOMB!!!!!!!!

YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

It must suck to be the Twins

they finally got rid of Carlos Silva, now they have Kevin Slowey.

Not equal.
Give it a couple years.

Slowey right now is exactly like Silva when he was good.

Except that he strikes a lot of guys out.
Slowey is good.
Slowey has been terrific this year.

http://www.statcorner.com/pitcherSP.php?id=458713&team=MIN&year=2009&leag=A_L

I suppose I've been proven wrong

I should really look these things up. I’ve watched him a couple times this year and didn’t realize he actually got so many swinging strikes.

StatCorner is a handy resource
Slowey is an excellent pitcher
And comes at a cheap price.
Less than 12Mil!
I'm still a flutter from that.
Burkie and Lopez-ie say...

Screw you, haters!

Yeah, Burke has so many haters.
well...

less than ol’ Robby-boy… but he’s not Clement, right? Not a big deal to me either way since he’s just a backup catcher to me.

It's Dickey Time!
I wish you were still ours, RA.

I still love you.

I love his face while throwing 65 MPH
While we're on the subject of Burke, what happened with Johjima and the pitching staff?

I heard something from my friends in WA but what’s your story?

I've heard some pitchers don't like working with him, communication issues maybe?

That’s why Bedard used Burke as his personal catcher last year.

Don't encourage it
How well does Johjima speak English?

He’s not like Kaz, who’s raised as an American with the fluency of our native tongue?

Probably good enough to get by.

And his english is better than my Japanese.

Kaz also had the aid of have a massive awesome dong to help wow the female reporters
And Kanaka Enomoto.
Foul

And as if you didn’t have a career in gay porn.

A little tiny thing was blown way the fuck out of proportion by the media.
They said it wasn't just Bedard, but that it was the "pitching staff" which seems to me to include a larger part of the rotation and maybe even the bullpen.

but that it was the “pitching staff” which seems to me to include a larger part of the rotation and maybe even the bullpen.

They also said that the Mariners were making up injuries to keep him off the lineup early on.

They were wrong.
Why don't you ask them, then?
I didn't pry because I didn't care at the time;

Yankees fan, remember; I would have gloated to see the Mariners struglling like this if I didn’t used to like them (though not as much as the Yankees) after living in Everett.

1995 was a tough year for us, seeing Donny Baseball go into the twilight.

Say, I think I recognize you.

Did you use to live in Everett, by chance?

Yes, used to work at the naval base.

Was a technician and ate at the mess hall every morning, loved the deserts in that glass rotating cupboard.

Delish!

So when you say you're an engineer you're lying?
I know. Haven't Yankees fans suffered enough?
Then why do you care now?

You’re obviously completely unwilling to entertain the possibility that things could possibly different than the media and old school thinks it is, so why the fuck should we bother taking you even a little bit seriously?

You poor, pool soul
I think Bedard just liked working with Burke better.
Been looking at the Gamelogs

He’s worked with other catchers too, though, it had to be more than that. And besides, I’m going on my friends’ intuitions and they’re avid mariners fans.

They were livid for God know what about Johjima.

There’s gotta be something to it?

I don’t know; you’re the Mariners fans.

Explain it to me. What was so bad about Johjima? Couldn’t speak the language? Different culture, didn’t like it why? Bedard pissed in his Green Tea?

There wasn't shit to it.

Stop asking questions that have been answered.

You baffle me.
You're making too much of this.

The team was losing last year. Tons of finger pointing. This garbage is non-existent now.

ASK YOUR FRIENDS
He could not hit the ball.
He hits fine

He’s not exactly Mauer or Posada, but Johnson and Burke can’t hit worth a lick either.

This is putting to rest my thought that Yankees fans understand baseball better than Red Sox fans
I'm saying that Johjima's hitting can't be the primary reason the pitching staff or the Mariners would be upset with him.
Or maybe the media made too much out of a simple disagreement
So what was the disagreement!
Kenji was tired of getting bottomed all the time.
But his job is "catcher," right?

Didn’t he know what he was getting into?

It got lost in translation from Japanese to English

Because of the economy

That's probably why he insisted that the M's pay for his own personal translator in his contract extension.

To prevent unfortunate miscommunications like that.

Just like they make too much of the Yanks/Sox rivalry
And don't bring in the Red Sox.

We Yankee fans turn into rabid animals if you try to compare us to them.

I compare the two fan groups all the time

You’re both annoying platoons of massive cunts

Graham is my subconscious
Listen to this man, for he is wise.
So you're a yankee fan too?

You don’t say.

lol
No chatspeak
Well this may be your last comment
Of all the things you've said today,

You had to go and break a cardinal rule

Whoops a doodle!!
Your failure is complete.
I brought this on!
*high five
You've developed quite a rivalry with the Red Sox since you stopped following the Ms in the early 2000s have you?
I guess after you stop doing crystal meth in Everett you need to find something else to do
Oh did I say crystal meth? I meant engineering.
I've always been a Yankee fan,

but I garnerred an appreciation for the M’s in my time at Everett… besides my friends were Mariners fans and learning about the weknesses of the M’s gave me opportunities to egg them on.

Everett?

Everett, Washington?

I didn’t know you lived there!

Hey isn't there a naval base up there?
Does said base employ engineers?
That is actually pretty racially insensitive.
WTF?
Take your pick
Bedard pissed in his Green Tea?
?
Bedard pissed in his Green Tea?
Late
What the hell?

Please stop with the inference to the cultural/American-ness.

lol asians love tea
Why?

It’s tough adjusting to a different culture.

I had an ok time in Yokusuke, but I wouldn’t want to live there for extended periods.

It’s a fact of the world economy.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Japanese people liking green tea is a fact of the world economy everyone

That’s it. End of story

The economy...

the economy…

Does this mean they can only drink red tea now
Yeah it is tough adjusting to a new culture

I mean you can’t even drink your green tea and eat dogs in peace here.

Um......what?
Oh don't start that shit with me

That’s not a reason to keep going back to Kenji’s Japanese-ness as a reason his teammates don’t like him

The world economy

What in God’s shithole are you babbling about

Yeah when I was up in Zero-G at the international space station I had trouble doing my sudoku while writing my sanskrit limericks.
This is the best comment you have ever made
This is fantastic
Definitely got a luagh out of me.
WHAT?
Where did you find these drugs?
Oops, meant to reply to the original comment
I was wondering how you got a peek in my medicine cabinet.
It's Yokosuka, not "Yokusuke".

Sure didn’t get off base much, did you. And the local bar down the street doesn’t count.

It's a non-story that the media thought was interesting for a little while but ultimately meant nothing.

That’s really all there is to it.

Bedard's wasn't the most social guy last year, I'm really not sure what was up. Like several people have said, probably wasn't anything.

What’s so bad about Joh? His first 2 years here were good, last 2, not so much. We’ve got a million catchers, each of them with their own problems. Adam Moore in AAA is our best hope.

Dickey should add an eephus.
What happened to Orlando Hernandez anyway?
What a shitty job of protection by Ichiro
HAA

Brandon Morrow Bobblehead

That bobblehead commercial is just terrible.
I love it
Me too
Love it for its irony?
I think it's hilarious.
"You're not afraid of anything"

hahaha. Nothing is more ironic.

Listen to this man, for he is wise.
Haha, excellent!
Nothing is as bad as real-life Ervin Santana

smiling creepily and bobbling his head along to his bobblehead on the Angels TV broadcast.

That ballon animal probably does a better job at producing insulin than morrow
It's good because I don't think insulin injections would work on it
Say that as if the insulin injections work for Morrow.
Josh Hamilton steals his insulin
I knew he was cheating.
In that scenario both a drug addict and a fucking handifuck die
Morrow might have skipped a day or two.
I hate solo homers so much, but its better than hitting a double and not being driven in I guess.
This comment confuses me.
Slightly better.
Is gameday wrong or did I miss something

It says Gutierrez was the 3rd out….

Lopez – Homerun
Cedeno – Single
Chavez – Out (1)
Burke – Homerun
Gutierrez – Out (3?)

Cedeno

caught stealing

Racial profiling.
Well played.
Cedeno was caught stealing
Oh

I missed Ronnie getting caught stealing

Yeah I was confused as well, but Cedeno was picked off.
Unexpectedly finding himself on base

Cedeno volunteered to be thrown out. That the universal balance be righted again.

I suddenly feel like buying a hundred balloons and stomping on them all
Who's this Mazzaro guy for Oakland? He's looking good.
Aaaaaand time to slow down the game.
Son of a whore. I hate you tits.
Who is going to start in RRS spot anyway?

Would Jak be available by then?

Jak or Olson would be my guess.
They haven't decided yet.
Hopefully Olson
Olson is warming up right now

If he pitches, wouldn’t that give him only three days rest before starting?

Wait what's going on? I thought RRS was coming back in like 3 days or something?

D

Not sure where that D came from
He was until he bombed his rehab start.
That's disappointing
He got destroyed in Tacoma the other night.
Not after he gave up 12 runs to AAAers
If the Reno Aces can light you up, 1-2 more starts can't hurt.
Come on Batista, just one more out.
When was the last time Batista allowed a HR? I think he's due.
6000+ comments

And Endy!!!

God.
There should be a better stat for counting comments.
I've been since April 2006 and I'm around half that.
Lets talk about our comment numbers and sleep patterns!
Sorry, should have known better
I have 23870 comments and last night I slept on a very hard and scratchy floor and on a very comfortable coach but I had a wee wee and my mom says that it doesnt count when i have a accident so i guess you can say that I didnt sleep at all last night
Which uncomfortable coach did you sleep on?
Poor Coach. =(
Defense matters!
Aahahahahahahahaha
Branyan

You fail at protecting ichiro

Mariners fans annoy me to no end.
Muscle Bomb coming up
I meant Beltre the Muscle
Uhhhhh...... Griffey the Muscle?
Adrian vs. Dickey.

This should be fun.

The A's are starting to bother me

6 wins in a row now

Yeah and the Rangers haven't started to suck either...

SELL SELL SELL!

Is Mark Lowe still 'the future'?
Future Carlos Silva with all these line drives he's allowing.
Mark Lowe? Really?
Happy Birthday Mark!

I hope someone got him command for his birthday!

Or a fastball that isn't as straight as Charlie Sheen.
These helmets are sort of funny, sort of cool, and sort of embarassing.
The fact that Aardsma actually mail-ordered one

is a little embarassing.

Some times

I really dislike kids. Stop showing them during my baseball game.

I want to beat children
in a footrace perhps?
I hope this isn't one of those times where you left out a word.
funny story!
What's so bad about "I want to beat eggs, children"?
I read that as *eat.
That at-bat was fascinating.
Whoa
Garret Olson is so dreamy
He's no Clement.
Or Brad Adam.
I dunno

No offense to Graham, but I just don’t get the Clement dreaminess.

I'm as straight as they come and I want to cuddle with that dreamy bastard.
So Dreamy...

He's like a goddamn movie star.
Or Chris Isaac...
Huh

That’s a nice picture, but when I went down to Tacoma he just looked kind of goofy in person.

You mean more like this?

Exactly!
He only looks goofy when he tries to smile
I'm convinced the first picture is not him

But just some stock photo that was in a frame his mom bought when he was in high school.

This is the one I always see.
I don't understand why Graham is attracted to failure
lol the seahawks are terrible i know
Good thing you followed that up Broberto
Aaron Curry threw out the first pitch and I missed it :(
He was wearing a teal brimmed hat!
How'd he end up with one of those?

I had one years back and the wind blew it off my head on a rollercoaster and the chain ripped it to shreds

Lam

He plays Madden using the neon green alts though.

Leave some space for Branyan.
Not at the bottom of the league in fielding grrrrr
Ah! He found the hole!
Much like Gutz in the dark.
I wish announcers would stop saying we're at the bottom of the league in fielding
YES

Let’s show a slew of kids in Angels hats, FSN. That is a fine idea.

It's little league weekend you stupid jackass
They are just little Angels.
If my kid came home from little league in an Angels jersey . . .
I'm with you.
You don't know what he's going to do.
I have a pretty good idea.
This game will never end.
Selfish Ichiro.

Doesn’t let his teammates catch fly balls.

Oh hey it's still the 7th inning
Fairly impressive inning
I'm beginning to hate the Rangers more than the Angels.
They need to start regressing yesterday!
I'm beginning to hate Rangers fans more than Angels fans.
Except Eyebrows.
Eyebrows rocks
Never!

Rangers fans are much more annoying though.

Anyone but the Angels is cool with me.
Looks like Vargas draws Tuesday.
Which is a pointless comment.
I hate when I get that card in Pictionary.

How am I supposed to draw Tuesday?

I draw a picture of Sean Green.
I was trolling for is exact response.

Kudos.

Jeers to the rest of y’all.

No trolling asshole
Can I see it?
Draw a calender and circle it dumbass.
Make a seven box grid and circle the second one.
Draw Monday and Wednesday and circle the space in between
You could draw a bunch of 2's in the sky next to the sun
Nope. You cant use numbers in Pictionary.
Really?

Well it’s a fucking stupid game anyway

Not nearly as hard as trying to draw dignity
This was the second response I was hoping to see.

Kudos as well to you!

You draw someone waving goodbye, and a ruby.
How would you distinguish that it is a ruby with nothing but a black pencil?
Stab yourself with the pencil and use the mess to make a ruby

Anything to win, man!

Very cleverly done shading?

That’s the best I got.

Gesundheit, sneezing dude!
Lopez says "Wow"
Hey so Lopez is having an ok day today
Look at those rhymes!
Toot bustin out the mad rhymes
Rhyming "day" with "today" was a pretty big copout though.
OK and today was the rhyme.
Not to mention "Hey"
And hey and day

I’m too lazy to use iambic pentameter correctly, so I just lump it all into one sentence

Yeah, like rhyming tired with retired.
I knew packing a beat box around with me would help me flow
It seems like pitchers get squeezed with Griffey more than any other batter I've seen.

Sort of like how umps would “expand” the zone when Tom Glavine was pitching out of respect for his veteranness or whatever. Unfortunately, Brooks Baseball only sorts by pitchers and not batters, but looking through Gameday it seems like he gets one that’s clearly a strike called a ball about once a game, maybe more.

This ump is consistently horrible.
It's curious how the Mariners simultaneously try to make fans smarter

while also going on about how awful errors are, and how good a pitcher must be if he has a lot of wins.

So.....

What have I missed?

What feels like the longest game of the year.
Looks like it's already

Longer than yesterday’s.

Predictions on how many line drives Lowe will allow.
This inning?

4.

2
This guy...
I thought Lowe was supposed to be the closer today.

That’s what they were saying on the radio pregame at least.

Sounds like they're shooting for a 2-inning save.
Dave just said

Morrow is the closer today. Whoa boy.

So uh... Burke and Lopez both homered?
And Russel, yep.
Branyan homers don't surprise me.

Both Loafie and Burke homering in the same inning is not exactly a high probability outcome

This is what our offense would look like

if we plated in New York

Women's basketball?! Tonight?! Oh boy let me clear my schedule
Making fun of the WNBA is like kicking a kitten with no legs.
Impressive?
That's been dead for several days
Fun and hilarious?
Did you explain how their good fundamentals make up for their inability to dunk?
Wait a minute wait a minute

Is the draft even going to be on tv?

MLB Network.
Eff!
They might stream it online, too. I'm not sure.
They had better!

I took the day off, then learned it wasn’t even on until the afternoon. I need to at least be allowed to viddy as it happens.

When is it again?

I’m retarded and keep forgetting

Tuesday.
With Sean Green?
Actually, that would be Tuesday with Dustin Ackley
Tuesday at 3.
With Sean Green?
I'm hoping so.
Tuesday. The draft is Tuesday. The 9th. Tuesday the 9th. Of June. 2009. This year. Two days from today.
With Sean Green?
Well aren't you just the dog's bollocks
Tuesday
With Sean Green?
He'll be co-anchoring
Along with Eli Whiteside
Thank you all
With Sean Green?
I didn't even say Tuesday
With Sean Green?
Time of death- 4:06 PM
I'm....a murderer
And a rapist
That meme shouldn't have dressed like it wanted it
I can't imagine why he'd make that sort of foolish mistake then.
What the fuck?

David Eckstein just hit a 3 run game tying homer in the 9th. David Eckstein.

hahahahaha
That little scamp.
At Petco!
Chad Qualls should just off himself now

Would save a lifetime of shame.

A lifetime of being awesome
Gameday calles it "Eckstein's Heroic Home Run"
That Chi Chi is masterful.
As funny as that nickname is, I just can only attribute that name to a miniature French Poodle
Is Ichiro the coolest motherfucker alive?

Now that Johnny Cash has passed away.

You mean since David Carradine passed away.
Passed away?

I guess that’s one way of putting it.

His cause of death kinda takes away from his coolness.
He died gratifying himself in Thailand with two separate lengths of rope.
I would say the opposite

Especially given his age

That's how I'm going out.
Dying while choking yourself and masturbating is pretty cool way to go out.
Maybe

But when it comes out you might have been involved in some degree of incest, it’s maybe not so cool anymore…

Seriously?

That’s a cool way to go out? Attempting to pass out do to lack of oxygen in the brain in order to intensify your orgasm? While wacking off? I’m sorry, that doesn’t seem very cool to me.

No worse than suicide.
I don't even understand the point of this comment.

Suicide: also not a cool way to die.

Hey lets stop this subthread now
Mainly because people felt bad for him when they thought it was a suicide

and now seemingly think less of him because it was most likely autoerotic asphyxiation.

Eh, to each his own.
No worse, but not cool.
They guys hanging signs celebrating "Quick Outs" just cheered mightily when Heath Bell struck a guy out.

Fucking hypocrites.

On how many pitches?
Five, I think.
1
HANG ANOTHER Q, BOYS!
-3
White warming up.
Happy birthday, fuckface!
I hope someone buys you a sugarfree cake
And then pies you in the face with it.
What the fuck is on that dude's head
Blake Griffin is an odd looking fellow
?

This looks bigger than 300 but I followed the guide

Is it too big?

I hate it when that happens
I think I speak for us all when I say:

wut.

That's Blake Griffin
no its not
wait
Pretty sure it is
I understand. But it's Blake Griffin with a blonde girl's wig and a pink leotard.
Please don't post images
That's Blake Griffin though

What did I do wrong this time?

He was walking around my neighborhood earlier and I couldn't believe how simian he is
So is White or Morrow closing?
Musclebomb, please?
But walks are good too
Come on Beltre. RBIs PLEASE!
Or not
This game is not good enough to hit pause to answer a phonecall but I did anyway. Why?
You can always fast forward to catch back up.

I promise you you didn’t miss much.

I hate lazy fly balls.

They need grit.

Griffey got hosed on that one.
That was a strike.
Thought it was tad too high.
Moron!

Bucknor!

Anyone else see that Tinkerbell backpack?
OK Loafie, it's late in the game.

It’s your time to shine.

Just needs a triple for the cycle.
That's not happening with his stumpy legs.
Jose Lopez is all the proof you would ever need that RBI are meaningless.
But he's clutch. I don't understand the point of your comment.
Or perhaps RBIs are all the proof you would need to see that Jose Lopez is productive
Cycle?
The odds of Jose Lopez hitting a triple seem low.
At least two outfielders would have to collide.
I know it. Defense would have to mangle the play
If he needed anything other than a triple to complete it, sure.
Gameday is slow.
3-0!
Time for terror!
Oh it's White and not Morrow.
Jose Lopez had the green light 3-0?

Really?

He's clutch!!
It was 2-1.

Gameday has it wrong for some reason.

Ah
Yeah, just rewound it to be sure.

The 2-0 pitch was called a strike.

Ok, thanks.
Pizza Hut makes the worst commercials.
The one in the beginning of the original Ninja Turtles movie was not bad
Which one was that?

Now that you mention it, I did like the one before The Land Before Time.

The one with the song about the kid playing right field.

They all eat pizza after he makes the winning catch.

Would have been nice to have Olson here...
Yeah I don't understand why he took him out
Because relievers cannot pitch three innings?
I really don't know what Wakamatsu was thinking.

I like Olson’s chances against their righties just as much as I like Lowe’s.

My bad, I got mixed up and thought Olson pitched the eighth, not the 7th

But it seems like Olson would have more stamina than most relievers, since he has been a starter recently

I was joking with my comment.

Olson should easily go three since he was just starting.

Mauer and Morneau coming up
Equal K-BB ratio!
Mariners strategy: develop as many closers as possible

and trade them to the Mets.

You forgot about the part where we pitch only closers

from the first inning to the 9th.

Double play, lets go.
Does Sean White seriously throw 95 now?
White is pumping them fast balls at 95+ an hour. Impressive so far.
Wlad somehow turns that into a double.
Scary 2nd out.

1 to go!

A change up here would be nice.
Why the hell do they insist on throwing fast ball after fast ball. Assholes.
It's the official M's relief pitcher game plan.
Thank you, Safeco.
What are you talking about?

Blowers just said Sean White did a good job of making him hit that the other way

I LOVE DEFENSE!!!!
And Johjima!
Yay beat it when it's dead!
FUCK YOU MEME
I have a fucking genius twist to this meme and if its killed before I get to use it I rip the fingers off that person and use them to play dr proctologist goes to the state fair
<:o
