I don't get it.
What an incredibly uninteresting person and show.

The background music is too much.

KUMQUATS!
msb - January 29, 2010
I don't know what the fuck this is but I love it
Griffin Cooper - January 29, 2010
Those are my sentiments exactly
I don’t know enough about Byrnes to understand, but who needs understanding when you’ve got “Stipple Chair!”
pygmalion - January 29, 2010
he has his own clothing line
between him and ichiro we are DOMINATING the AL West fashionwise.

He's so crazy he goes food shopping at Fry's.
PissedMick - January 29, 2010
Please capitalize the beginning of your comments.
Matthew - January 29, 2010
The part of the intro to the show
Where he lowers his glasses and makes a kissy face at the camera is the gayest thing I have ever seen. At least Ichiro will have a fellow fashion designer in the clubhouse, maybe they can calabo on a new line?

I hope Eric byrnes has a breakout year
So we can resign him and get a whole new category of inside jokes.
cedarA - January 29, 2010 via mobile
The last time Eric Byrnes had a breakout year and somebody resigned him, it went very very badly.
Goose - January 29, 2010
Is this funny?
Note the capitalization of ‘Is.’
MarinerHawk - January 29, 2010
Yes.

The more I read about this guy, the more I like him
I just hope he can bounce back and produce for us.

He seems like a lovely guy.
krb - January 29, 2010
Sounds like watching Eric Byrnes (if he makes the team) will bring me as much joy as watching Jersey Shore.
You have to watch to see what antics he will get in.
seattle_since_81 - January 29, 2010
If Eric Byrnes brings me as much joy as Jersey Shore he is my new favorite baseball player.

That guy should have his own show.
In which his limbs are tied to horses and ripped in opposing directions.

JLProck - January 29, 2010
And is that a two for one, or do mine eyes deceive me?
It looks like he clocks the guy in the middle first.
JLProck - January 29, 2010
Yup, 2-fer!
Or as the man’s fist goes by he smells something horrible.
kentroyals5 - January 29, 2010
It probably smelled like a beat that had just been beat up.
Teej - January 29, 2010
Looks like the point of the puncher's elbow hit the guy in the middle.
Jeff Nye - January 30, 2010
This is awful.
CapSea - January 29, 2010
The guy got fired from his job.
I’m not sure if it had anything to do with the above scene, but here’s a story on it.

I hope he gets raped in prison.
And I would prefer to unsee this gif.

I feel this way about half the cast.
Teej - January 30, 2010
Snookie?
section331 - January 30, 2010
Snickers was a nickname the guys gave her playing on her nickname of Snookie.
Nobody understood her nickname at first so they pretty much said anything close.

Chief O' Brien was always a horribly underrated character in the Star Trek universe.
Goose - January 29, 2010
One of my favs for sure
Garak is my all-time favorite fictional character though.
appleshampoo - January 29, 2010 via mobile
Yep, Garak was awesome.
Goose - January 29, 2010
I have a soft spot for any role played by Jeff Combs.
or Armin Shimerman.
msb - January 29, 2010
I was always amazed at how many different roles Combs played in all of Star Trek and was still able to make each of them distinct and awesome.
What an actor.
Goose - January 30, 2010
A fine product of the UW.
msb - January 30, 2010
heh.
msb - January 30, 2010
No shit? I had no idea.
Goose - January 30, 2010
Ah, gather closer, my children, as a tale I unfold. Sitting comfortably? Hands safely out of the way of the chair's rockers?
Many, many years ago, when I was but a slip of a girl, I took advantage of the wonderful discount theatre tickets to be had from the UW Drama Program [go! enjoy!] and wandered all innocent like into my first production there, a play by that reprobate Mr. Wilde— The Importance of Being Earnest— and what to my wondering eyes did appear to play Algernon Moncrieff but a gangly, pale redhead with the odd name of Groener who was so much better than anyone else that I thereupon vowed that I would see more of these cheap plays, and hang go my homework.
This was followed by that same ginger as the mercurial JP McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and then as the confused young swain in She Stoops to Conquer, (which had a small part for one Jeffrey Alan Combs) and finally in Once In a Lifetime, where Mr Groener both played the fast-talking lead and was the choreographer, which meant he also made up a killer little speed tap for said Mr. Combs to perform.
I may have happened upon the program too late to see more than Mr G’s final year, but the following season there were many roles for young Mr Combs, and a few for that nice Rick Wilson who decided to use his mother’s maiden name for his SAG membership, and so was listed as Richard Karn, from thensforth.
Ah. memories.

appleshampoo - February 1, 2010
Garak is incredible.
DS9 is by far the best Trek series of them all.
I think Odo is my favorite though.
bagsflyfree - January 29, 2010
I liked DS9 more than almost everyone
But I don’t think that it compares that well to TNG.
pygmalion - January 30, 2010
TNG as a whole was better. But DS9 after the Dominion War started is Trek at it's best.
Goose - January 30, 2010
Agreed, loved DS9 and the Dominion War. What a show.
EnglishMariner - January 30, 2010
Correct.
appleshampoo - February 1, 2010
I'm not so sure I agree with this.
The first season of TNG was pretty bad. Season Two was okay. It really hit its stride Season Three through Season Six, but Season Seven was pretty terrible in places. DS9 follows a similar pattern (Season One = bad, Season Two = okay, Seasons Three-Six = peak, Season Seven = bad). While I feel that TNG had individual episodes that were better than DS9 episodes, the season arcs in DS9 were much much stronger than those in TNG. This is helped by DS9 being more serialized in nature.
DS9 is my favorite Trek show, and it had a long way to climb for me; I grew up with TNG and only watched DS9 occasionally, as it didn’t grab me as a kid. Seeing both shows in their entirety as an adult has allowed me to fully appreciate DS9. It’s a shame it isn’t as revered as TNG.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - February 2, 2010
How can a bunch of people on a baseball blog not like Sisko!
Not only was he fucking awesome, he was the most morally interesting and ambiguous of all the captains and he played baseball.
Vatinius - January 31, 2010
Sisko kicked ass. Him and Garak play a major part in my favorite Star Trek episode ever, In the Pale Moonlight.
Sisko and Garak hatch a plan to get the Romulans involved in the war. They create a fake holorecording that shows the Dominion discussing plans to attack Romulus. The Romulans send Senator Vreenak to DS9 to check it out. But after having his people examine the recording, Vreenak (with this look on his face), proclaims it a fake. So he heads back to Romulus to tell the Senate of Sisko’s treachery. But Garak, plants a bomb on his shuttle and it explodes on the way back, killing everyone. After Sisko flips out on Garak, Garak explains that during the investigation of the explosion, the Romulans will find the holorecording. They’ll view it for themselves, and they’ll see they same inperfections that Vreenak saw. But instead of coming to the conlcusion that it’s a fake, they’ll just assume it was damaged in the explosion.
And it works. The Romulans enter the war against the Dominion. A move that ultimately turns the tide for the Federation. And at the end of the episode, Sisko is making a log about the whole thing, and while drinking a glass of scotch, he explains despite the fact that what happened goes against every morale fiber of his being, that he can live it, that he has to live with it. And then he deletes the log.
Everything is about that episode is television perfection. The acting, the mood, the story, the flow, everything. I love it.
Goose - January 31, 2010
Agreed.
That is my favorite Trek episode period, and one the best episodes of any show I have ever seen. And it was a bottle show to boot. I would put Far Beyond the Stars and Duet right up there with it too.
Vatinius - January 31, 2010
Man, you just listed both of my favorite DS9 episodes.
Far Beyond the Stars is some of the best TV writing I’ve ever seen.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - February 2, 2010
Once again, correct!
appleshampoo - February 1, 2010
This is just a winner.
Big Jared - January 29, 2010
I hope we trade him in a month and a half and everyone asks if this segment is still staying around.
Mariner John - January 29, 2010
We can't trade him for three months!
