Was hoping you'd post one.

Baseball!

Swinging strike!
These hats are awful.
Learn to throw: Check

Learn to catch: uh..

I don't like the green caps.
Its for one day...

and I kinda like ’em.

They show off the fact that Wak has elf ears.
Are we in the twilight zone?
Ichiwalk!
And a steal!

beautiful.

Holy crap.

We’re taking pitches.

That calls for more beer.
Baserunning!
Steal!

I’m going to love watching these 2 hit everyday.

Or not hit if this is anything to go by.
I'd be good with that.
Come on Double steal!
Back to back walks.

We have come so far.

Well that was a bit different
Jr just moving runners.
Junior slow roller to first!

Some things remain the same.

You remember the season opener against minnesota and he jacked that bomb.
I was not expecting that.
Neither was I but it was awesome.
No no no Loafie.

You can swing at pitches that are strike, but good on you for trying to be a little more like Figgins.

So, what, Maddux said 'throw strikes"?
Dang, Loafie was starting to swing at that pitch in the dirt...
FULL COUNT LOAFIE?!?!
How'd he lay off that?
2 walks and loafie got the count full

I could get used to this

I could get used to some runs...
Tomorrow's game's on TV as well?

Awesome!

So I don't get FSN HD now?

Thanks Broadstripe.

Also, Goose was on TV

I am wondering if we'll see RC
Broadstripe cut that out of your lineup?

Lame.

Yeah I know. The douchbags behind me wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

I got tired of their stupid shit so I moved farther down the line.

WHAT
Yep we haven't had it in a week

I called them up today and they say its fixed but none of us have been home to see if its true.

Thats a hell of a changeup
Snell's pitches look incredibly hittable, but he is changing the speeds so smoothly.

That changeup looks good.

Everything is down also.
It's going to be a coup if returns to his #1/2 form.
He was never close to a #1
1.5?
He peaked as a #2 in the National League
I am liking how Snell looks right now...
Fully teal hat with mariners logo = ugliest hat ever.
Can anyone tell how Snell's foot looks?

Looks pretty straight to me, but tough to tell

Its inconsistent.

But looks better.

Wak making a strong endorsement for Tui
Err, not Wak, what?
No, but the point remains

The coaches love Tui’s bat

Snell's looking much much much better than last year
Excellent timing idiot
then he gives up a run
Snell still has crappy control
Can't put anything past you
Yeah well fuck you too Sullivan
%66 strikes right now
Throw some goddamn strikes damn it
I'm looking forward to Guti crushing a Scott Feldman pitch.
Just a bad piece of hitting right there
Whose behind the plate, have we heard?

regular ump or spring training ump?

ahem.

who is behind the plate.

90-95 games eh?
junior knows baseball
I've never been so pumped for a single.
Woooooo Kotchman!
Finally it's Guti time
I love when the charge horns just die at the end.
Looked like a pitch Beltre would swing at

OOH IT’S LEVEL WITH MY EYES!!!

Better to see it, of course!
Kotchman

The Good: Line drive back up the middle
The Bad: It looked like he hit the ball about as hard as he could and it didn’t clear the infield dirt.

His swing looked funny and the hit looked funny
I thought that looked funny
Z's dugout twin is really distracting.
Oops
OPS on swings outside of the strike zone?

I always come here to learn about those new fangled stats

Rob Johnson's already looking a WHOLE LOT better offensively

That one got past the infield.

I just remembered that I once had one of those hats but I lost it and it makes me sad
Adam Moore please.
JUNIOOOOOOOR!
Reminds me of Sean Connery in Indiana Jones for some reason...
Perfect example.
It's gonna be weird seeing these commercials every day
Wait to get to see the terrible one 17+ times a year!
I will never ever in a hundred gazillion million thousand years get tired of that last line of the Griffey/Ichiro commercial.
"Of coruse you did" or "JUNIOOOOOOOR" ?
Indiana Jones 3 might be my favorite action movie of all time.
Vern Fonk is terrifying.
Oh nice play Figgins.

Figgins just looks like an excellent fielder on that play. He should prove to be elite defensively at 2b…

Rangers ST fans are annoying...
Punchout Snell!
and the moment is gone
Sit your ass down Young
Jesus, Josh jacked that one.
Watching Vlad swing right after that Hamilton HR is making me cry
That was pathetic...
I really want Josh Hamilton to OD before the season starts
I don't think Ron Washington understood when Josh asked him to be his sponsor.
Classy
More class in my college gown than in your entire family tree, sweetheart.
That's the Graham I remember

Touchy and insecure.

Actually, it was more an attempt at baiting you than anything else.

Surprise, it worked!

That's the hardest Jack Wilson will hit a ball all year.
So whats the deal...

On the radio it sounds like Snell is pitching pretty well with 4 k’s. Is his stuff looking pretty good but his control is wonky?

Leaving a lot of pitches up in the zone
Inconsistent command, as always, but good movement
Ichiro!
Yes, no pulled hamstrings!
God dammit I love Ichiro
I think we should bat Michael Saunders third and have him drag bunt every at-bat
When Ackley gets called up...

back-to-back drag bunts?

Oh man it's going to be awesome watching Ichiro and Figgins hit back to back all year
Perfectly positioned
Wow. Nice catch.

Borbon just one-upped Figgins with that play.

Nice hitting by Chone, great play Borbon
Go away Julio
He's no Franklin Gutierrez.
The umpire nearly took it in the junk

That was a nice catch though

Please use a subject line
Use the subject line please

makes it easier for the mods and generally just looks better.

I hate this Texas Playing Defense thing.
Bradley sure is swinging and missing a lot
Bradley seems to like to swing hard.
Bradley looking to get ejected.

Haha, whatever. His reputation bought him that ejection.

Oh...

He was. Wow, that is ridiculous.

Bradley got tossed..hahaha
What the fuck Bradley just got ejected
What... the fuck...

All he did was argue strikes. Same as any player who gets cakked iyt kiijubg.

Please read the replies to your previous comment

Also, what

He didn't though
Didn't say a word or even look at the umpire
I initially thought you had switched to Dutch mid-sentence.

Also: subject line.

Do not leave your home, Bradley

out looking.

Also please use the subject line.
So, suspension to be announced tomorrow?
That was fucking ridiculous
What the blue hells was that
What?

Did he actually say anything, or did he just drop his bat?

Looked like he just dropped his bat
Didn't even look at the umpire
Is that another one of them rules?

If this were the regular season, I feel like we would have seen Wak get ejected for the 1st time on that whackness.

Please use the subject line
He might have said something when he had his head down
"I miss Chicago"
Didn't appear to.

Touchy minor league ump?

The word you're looking for is 'impressionable'
Even that horn is exasperated
Screw it, put Moore in LF
That was a bias ejection if I've ever seen one.
Agreed
Umps just mad...

Bradley isn’t Irish.

Couldn't agree more.
So...

I’m sick of Bradley’s special treatment.

What the hell ump?
Griffey just decapitated someone

Junior flailing when he can’t pull the ball. Drive off that leg, Kid!

Do you not read any of the replies to your comments?

SUBJECT LINE

1/3 game recap...

Ichiro, Figgy: Awesome
Everyone else: Not so awesome

Milton: really awesome
Umpire from Chicago!
Can somebody verify whether "dropping the bat" is an ejectionable offense?
Showing up the ump?

But if its the 3rd out thats never the case.

Just amazing
I'm amazed Bradley didn't blow up on the ump there.

Because he had every right to. And instead he just walked it off and let his manager argue it. I know it’s only Spring training, but it’s good to see that restraint from him.

I'm thinking he thought he was the third out.

Because he was taking off his batting glove. By the time he realized it was only the second out, he was tossed.

That's exactly what it looked like.
Not sufficient grittyness
Well, don't you have to drop it somewhere?
Cursory Google search...

http://www.cafelocale.com/sports/bullpen/umpires.html

Mentions Harold Baines

This part sounds familiar...
That ridiculous policy was apparently still in tact Aug. 8 when Baines was ejected by Foster for dropping his bat at home plate and silently walking to the dugout in protest of a called third strike call.
DAVE SIMS! FUCK YEAH!
BUT WHAT NEWS OF HATS?
Okay Ian you can stop that.
It wasn't a bad pitch.
Not a real home run

It’s funny that our team can’t even hit fake ones though

That swing looked like it should have resulted in a popup.
It more or less did

That’s not a home run in Safeco

I think Milton Bradley crashed Twitter too.

Actually Divish?
Divish!

You can hang out with us here.

As long as he uses the subject line.
Use the subject line you damn moron
Sorry if I'm late to this... St. Patty's day beckoned...

But is this the real Divish!?

I can get used to a Figgins/Wilson middle infield.
Figgins looks very good so far.
Loafie too?

huh.

My, what ardent Texas fans near the booth

Lopez didn’t exactly look smooth there.

Ryan Divish!
Use the subject line!
Please use the subject line for comments Mr. D
Holy crap...

It is the real Divish… St. Patty’s day miracle!!!!

Yeah, Twitter isn’t working. I was too far behind to do a game update blog. I’d rather come on here instead. My kind of commenters on this site.

<3

Twitter is killing me. My body doesn’t know what to do anymore when it’s over capacity for more than five minutes.

When Twitter is over capacity, not my body
Somehow I don't think it was Bradley driving it over the limit...

is American Idol or something on?

Screw it.

We’re taking credit for it.

Did we take it down when the Lee trade happened??

Or is that just a figment of my imagination?

Sorry, Jeff, I will use the subject line from now on.
At least someone learns quickly
You're so much cooler than nassfat
Now we work on the reply button
The rec and flag buttons are going to take awhile.
So does the M's game just kill twitter?
Wait until opening day when the game thread takes SBN down.
With my gigantic gif!
o.O

Have we seen this gif before or is this a special one for opening day?

Special. Very Special.
WHERE IS IT!

WHERE’S THE GIF! THERE’S NO TIME DAMMIT!

You'll have to wait.
I'm now more excited for your gif than I am for opening day.
me too
What program do you use to rip video clips and how do you edit them with Photoshop?

My gif editing skills are atrocious and ripping video clips are a pain for me.

You can import video into photoshop and since my wife is hitting the keyboard as I type

email me – its in the profile. 0-=

I'll hit you up at a more appropriate time.
I'm genuinely not sure what I'm looking forward to more

The first game of the season or this .gif you’ve been keeping from us.

I'm Dumb
really dumb
Let the cat out of the bag?
I'm so happy for game threads in my life again.
So after reading some news articles...

It seems like dropping your bat is a major sign of disrespect… like a silent protest type of deal…

I always thought Milton Bradley was a lot like Ghandi.
Apparently, not the first time...

He’s dropped a bat…

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3438827

Wait, the article's from 2008 but Bradley's in an M's hat?
Game threads prevent me from actually watching the game.
It was much easier with MLB.TV being on the same screen.
This is a bad thing?
Well that was an embarrassment
I'm dumb
I smell bad
I love Ibanez
Scruffy is Kiana using your account again?
My wife is soooo cool
That's not what you said yesterday.
At the very least she's a saint.
and way better at all sports
Nice save
I'm sure that was his wife who wrote that.
Do they have a radar gun on the broadcast?
I think so, yeah.

No idea how accurate it is though.

I liked the commercials, but I am burnt out already.
Bullpen face!

that’s your cue, Scruffy!

But will him use the bullpen gif or the Shelton gif?
that's one thing pisses me off

None of the stadiums have radar readings on the scoreboards. How fucking tough is to have that. If Cheney Stadium can do it, I would think these other stadiums could.

Really? That's kind of surprising.
Maybe they think it makes the parks more "quaint"
What do they do with the money they collect from fines?
Selig's annual spring break bash.
Hookers and blow?
Washington is on the VIP list?
He's there every year!
And lots of Corona.
Selig, not Ron Washington

/predictable.

I wish all the coaches sat in lawn chairs out in front of the dugout in real life.
Oh shit

David Aardsma: still terrifying.

This team is terrible
This is all Bill James' fault
Bill James said a lot of really underinformed things
I feel like Baker really pressured him into that.

He did not want to be there.

Bill James hasn't been particularly relevant in years
I haven't watched it, figured that it would just make me sad.
I was just going off the text

I’ve never watched a Baker video

I saw a little blurb that Geoff was pressing James on chemistry and lost all interest.
The pythag justification for the M's overperforming last year got to me
When do you think Brandon League becomes the closer
After Mark Lowe.
Probably after Mark Lowe
Last week of April.
When his closer tattoo is finished.
Can someone mute this bitch?

Come on _!!!!! Every pitch

Nice dive Lopey.

Quick push him back in the water before he dies.

That replay made it 100x worse
I wish I could watch this :\

:[

holy shit

that was fucking crushed

Aardsma with a pop up

that made it over the wall….shit!

Dude, Cruz. Cut it out.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
How come Arizona doesn't do that to our hitters?
This inning has been pleasant
They are just trying to lull the Rangers into a false sense of security.
Wind is blowing out to right-center tonight
Are we going to hear about a stiff arm after the game?
That or Aardsma was working on a cutter.
Bringing in the closer that will finish the season
I can't believe I am glad to hear a Moneytree commercial...

Fucking Rangers fans…

Aardsma replaced by his eventual replacement!
well then

what is this home run derby?

Are you fucking kidding me
Grifrey

Dressed as Tiger Woods… says we can win 90-95 games. Must make it true.

I love spring training
Was that League's first pitch as a Mariner?
First televised pitch maybe.
unless there was some other guy with lots of tattoos and a bad haircut making those three other appearances
So, how just how goofy does the "LEAGUE" tat across the back look?
It's like he took his jersey in and said, can you put this on my back.
With which colors?
Wonder what it'll spell when he is old, and the skin sags...

LEAK?

Bobby Madritsch is back!?
BALLS

GOING OVER WALLS….DAMMIT

Shawn Kelley anyone?
I think it's Morrow's time.
I got some bad news for you
Well shit. There goes the season.
I'm pissed as shit
I think it's the number League's wearing.
Sims reads fangraphs. Niceee
No I think he just listens to Blengino.
Whatever the case

Good timing Sims. Got the K on it.

by referencing League's swing and miss percentage as the top in baseball last year
Now that pitch was filthy
I missed it.

Did he toss out the splitter?

Is there a gate

so Guti can play in that grassy area beyond the fence?

I wonder if Saltalamacchia is jealous of Hyphen

cause his name takes up more room on the back of Hyphen’s jersey.

There we go.

League nasty splitter best pitch ever thing for the win.

My favorite movie is the Notebook
Really, was this the Brandon we were waiting for?
Rob Johnson bloop, Wilson drag bunt, Ichiro base hit, Figgy GRAND SLAM!!

It’s somewhat possible right?

Figgy walk

Bradley’s replacement grand slam.

Haha great angle on Snell.
Some on slap me...

I believe in Ian Snell.

Crap...

Some one…

Best throw back ever. 1

Wife get off my account kj[jmmhygghbuhjmklhjjlmlj;ik’,.?.;.
/

Hey keep that stuff in the bedroom
I think his wife is trying to send him signals.
I am skeptical that the first part could be typed so clearly in a struggle
I am definitely stonger
Poor Scruffy.
She regained conciousness pretty quickly
Man Snell sounds depressed.

Is that that sound of him sharpening a razor blade??

He sounds fine to me.
Just look at that simle!
Jinx.
Not only were you faster but you can type properly too.
Look at that smile!
Those hats are soooo cheap.
Twitter's back

Great news, brain!

And Divish is gone forever.
Thanks for dropping by!
well, not quite, I kind of enjoy the game threads on here.
Welcome anytime.

You can even use expletives here.

Divish is going to start dropping F bombs on twitter and TNT if he spends too much time here.
Or he'll just get fired

Way to use your real name, Ryan.

Welcome to the club

We’re like the He-Man woman Haters, only we still like girls, they just don’t like us.

Your presence makes LL feel big time
I have more Twitter followers than he does
You're just some guy with a computer
Seriously, we get Dave Cameron and Ryan Divish commenting here

Who do the other blogs have?

Pedro Calderon.
This reminds me of the games I have witnessed in AZ.
Shave it off, Don.
Needs to be fully capitalized
Shave It Off, Don
So I'm already sick of these commercials

I hate having television

That Griffey unscripted bizness is just too cute for tv
Are you keeping your mlb.tv?
Yeah,

it’s definitely like that band you love that gets overplayed on the radio and you end up hating.

Kings of Leon anyone?
Crash Test Dummies

circa 1994

I'm getting them on mlb.tv
"Here you go"

“I saw that”

They have some great lines in this year’s commercials.

So Ryan, got any thoughts on your colleague?
Which one?
John McGrath, obviously...
I'll say I wish McGrath was here.

Other than that, I haven’t had to see him in whitey tighties this year.

Grizzly
I want to know who has played the publicity flack the last few years
Good God that pitch is nasty.
I have a feeling we'll be saying that a lot this year
That was a flithy splitter.
Those fastballs are hard to catch, huh Rob?
Holy crap

I love Brandon League.

more than Morrow?
By an order of magnitude.
YAY

Scruffy has lost his battle to Kiana, hasn't he?
Kiana if you're reading this, change Scruffy's avatar again.
At least she left us a subject line.
Why would you buy a car from someone who punches babies?
And you don't punch for any VW

that’s why it’s called Slug BUG.

Figgins is never sad....
I'm new at this lol
Brandon League just oozes closer material

Seriously. He’s like a good CJ Wilson.

Jack Z isn't dumb

He knows that Aardsma isn’t gonna stick. League is closer by end of the year no doubt.

I'm guessing this is Wak's decision

But I agree that is a large part of the reason Zdurencik acquired him

Oh yeah,

Definitely rooting for Aardsma to end the year as closer, the realist in me (and probably the M’s front office) just doesn’t see it happening. Can never have enough possible closers in your bullpen.

Big muscles firing?

Really, Rob?

I don't think Johnson knows theres a camera on him.
Hopefully he picks his nose.
Wow, did he just grab his ass while saying "gluts"?
Rob Johnson cannot grow facial hair.
Or catch baseballs.
Yeah, that, too.
We're not going to score any runs this season
DEAR ROB JOHNSON - WHAT.
Glutes. Nice touch, Rob
"The biggest thing is getting your glutes firing."
If my glutes could "fire"

I wouldn’t need to be going to trade school. :(

Is that the same as your ass firing?
David Aardsma threw one pitch above 93.4

DIVISH! Explain.

I have no idea. I think he may be still babying his groin and not pushing off in his delivery
That would explain the wildness

Except, wait…

Really that isn't a good explanation either
Johnson looks manlier than usual

hey how'd you capture that .gif image
oh nevermind. i thought it was from todays game.
You don't need AB's you retard
At least Rob can see the ball.
Not enough to catch it though
Mmmm bacon....

Because bacon is the candy bar of meats.

Someone gave me a bacon-flavoured mint the other day

it was fucking disgusting.

Felix's voice just slays me
Chone Figgins sounds white
He also mentions Bob Dylan.

I don’t know any black people who’ve heard of Bob Dylan.

Billy Joel was more surprising to me
Elton John was mentioned at some point as well.
Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, Staples Singers ....
I like when he says Michael Douglas.

Michael Douuulas

hay is is vitor artinez
I miss the sway
Do you?

:)

The king of the sway was Dan Wilson during the anthem.
It's obvious his hips needed surgery back then. Couldn't even stand up straight.
Yes good please show these commercials more
I like how they show them in commercial breaks, AND in the broadcast.
Rob Johnson's hair always looks flocked

I bet you have to pay extra for a flocked Rob Johnson at the lot...
But he looks extra nice if you have one of those tri-color rotating lights.
Ah, yes.

I think next year I will have to get one of those…

.

Here you go.

Hmmm.

$70 is a lot of money to spend to highlight a Rob Johnson that I will eventually have to sell for parts. :(

Maybe you can find one cheap on EBay.

you’ll have to go there eventually to part Rob out.

NObody will pay for that

It’ll cost me more to list the parts than any return I’d get.
Eventually, I’ll learn from my mistakes.

Who's this hairy bear
Kanekoa Texeira
After seeing him he's definitely got my vote
We should just stop praising people.
And I've regained control.
Are you sure?
Could change at any moment.
Did both of you finish?
Absolutely.
Nice...

definitely worth it.

Only six minutes between posts.

Hmm… maybe need to work on it.

Or he's really freakin awesome.
Clumsiness is endearing
Texiera is a goofy lookin man.
He doubles as the Geico Caveman
I see your Kanekoa Texeira and raise you Will Foster.

Wow

Impressed.

He's actually been much scruffier than that at times this year.
Robert Swift pic incoming

In 3……2…..1….

This doesn't even convey the height or free-throw shooting
His 19% FT shooting

Or whatever it’s at now

That just cost him his job
Brandon Boggs is always going to be compared to his father
He drinks a lot of beer on cross country flights?

A lot

Why he's not a sidearmer at all
Let's hope he's not the next Reegie Corona
Mmm

Coronas.

Wait nevermind

It seems I didn’t accuse him of this.

Is Matthew still down there?
No he is not. :|
team edward!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Kiana deserves some recs
Can we get some possession % numbers up for Scruffy's account tonight?

Right I have it eyeballed at about 65/35.

I really like Casey Kotchman
I like him a lot...

But I still want to see other people.

The radio side is waaay ahead of the tv tonight.
But but light travels faster than sound, right?
Radio waves are light.
I hate Dustin Nippert's name
Mostly because I want to make a joke...

but I can’t. It sound like nipple, but not really.

The second syllable is more awkward than the first
Not to mention...

The name Dustin just screams douchebag.

Watch it.
First image that comes to mind.

Dustin Pedroia.

Dustin Ackley?
My point. Made by this person.
I'm a really big fan of Dustin McGowan and his facial hair so I will disagree
ooooh
But man, Pedroia sucks.
tell Joel to put his dishes downstairs in the sink!!!
We'll need his phone number
Tell Matthew to give it to you
"C'mon Bardo"
The metric system is stupid
Incorrect.

Explain!

I agree. incorrect
Base 10 makes it so even idiots can measure

The Imperial system requires some semblance of intelligence to calculate

This is exactly the argument I would expect out of you for taking this position.
I'm all for not catering to the idiots

The initial system may have been idiotic, but idiots have trouble repeating their work, so it requires intelligent people to replicate the thoughts of morons. The metric system is easily repeatable and logical so idiots can figure it out.

Weird concept-
It takes an intelligent person to replicate the works of an idiot but an idiot should be able to replicate the thoughts of an intelligent person

Wow,

I think you just explained the Red Sox front office in one sentence.

I'm trying to figure out which of those two concepts you are proving.
So what you're saying is that the metric system is for idiots and the imperial system is for intelligent people.
I'm saying

the metric system was developed by intelligent people for idiots and the imperial system was designed by idiots for idiots but can only be used by intelligent people

Most countries however disagree

I believe the Philippines and US are the only ones.

to use the imperial system.
I wouldn't have expected this opinion out of you
The kilometer posts on I-19 in Arizona can stay, however
They really don't want us to like these commercials do they
that one was funny
I like the knee pat.
You'd think Ichiro would be able to feel the glue when he sits down.
Kanekoa Texiera is awesome
I like what I've seen so far.
I don't want to take the dishes down, Jeff you can have my number, no one said anything about her "lol" comment

Fuck Edward

Based on tonight's performance, I think Teixeira is going to make the team.
I told you Divish was gone after Twitter was back!

He’s back hanging out with the cool kids, talking with @BrockandSalk. We need to get them all to hang out over here.

Salk, yes

Brock can stay where he is.

He wouldn't last long, it sounds like.
We would break Brock.

Salk would be neat to hang out with, though.

I think Brock would fit in with the beer crowd, though.
Brock's a choir boy.

One game thread and he’d be checking himself into therapy.

If Drayer comes too...

I’d put up with Brock.

Larry Stone!
Thumbs up.
Actually I was in the Rangers clubhouse ...

Doing a story for our season preview had to talk to a few players.

Oh you and your responsibilities
Is CJ Wilson being as defensive in person as he is on Twitter?
only talked to Young, Hamilton and Davis
Well... joking aside...

That’s pretty awesome. And huge huge huge props for coming and hanging out with us tonight. 100% appreciated, and hope it happens as much as possible.

Yeah I'm sure that's what you were doing in there
Classy Sullivan.

Cocaine jokes are not a laughing matter.

.

Look who's little Miss Perez Hilton
Take that down now....

It’s scaring people

You gotta take better care of yourself
So I take it from the commercials that JITB has decided to appeal direct to the stoner crowd now?
Stoned driving is not drunk driving!
I was surprised to see that one again

it’s what, two years old now?

I have no clue, I'm on the east coast.

People talked endlessly about some midget cowboy thing last year, and I never ended up seeing it even when I came out west.

There was also one where anyone who saw Jack would strip to there underwear

Mostly fugly chicks and foreign guys

Between Teixiera, League and RRS

we’d really up the surfer quotient.

Suspend the fucker
I wanted to post this.

But I didn’t know the name of the dude pitching. Fucker works well though.

Oh,

It’s still Nippert. Fuck him.

Yay! Angles baseball!
Esteban German is having quite an inning.
Ze German is not having a good half inning.
What would happen if Junior dropped his bat...
Do it Junior
Griffey has such a slow bat.
Groundout, flyout, popout, strikeout

The cycle!

Well fuck that game. And fuck that ump. And fuck those stupid people.

But hey, I got to hear how Sean Burroughs apparently has daddy issues and it was nice and cool.

Which stupid people?

And what did they do? Don’t tell me they were mocking Bradley off the field.

These group of people that were sitting behind me. They spent the first 3 innings on the phone clamoring to whomever that

the game was on tv and that they were there. And they, when the camera crew apparently showed us(after the Bradley ejection?) they went ballastic like it was the coolest thing in the world. Then when Bradley got ejected, they started talking about how he sucked ass, and how he probably did roids in Texas. And they booed him and glared at me when I started yelling at the ump. But Griffey should be the everyday DH because he’s still got some left in the tank! And then they wondered when Vlad signed with Texas. And then they were wondering why the Mariners didn’t keep Snell in the pen like they did last year after they acquired him. And then they started saying Figgins sucks cause he has no power, so I said fuck it and moved farther down the line.

GOD.

Why are they there, because they obviously don't watch baseball.
On the plus side, Erik Bedard is awesome. He was bullshitting with all us behind the dugout before the game

and was signing everything thrown his way and smiling. Not only that, but people would ask for other players signatures, like Ichiro, so he was taking their stuff, getting the other players to sign them, and then throwing them back. He was the talk of the whole section behind the dugout.

DAMN YOU MEDIA

Watch Bradley be kickass

Erik Bedard is the man

He is probably one of my favorites on this team.

WHAT

I WAS AT THIS FUCKING GAME BUT DID I SEE ERIK BEDARD OR GET TO BULLSHIT WITH HIM NO

Hopefully Lopez

takes Nippert deep for and 8 run homer here.

Who the hell is Maximo Mendes?
Bat boy.
close.

Outfielder for Clinton last season, and Wisconsin the year before. In other words, he hasn’t escaped the MWL yet. Think about a poor man’s version of Ezequiel Carrera with more strikeout issues than someone with negligible power should have, and you’d be close.

So a very poor man's version of Tyson Gillies

Maximo Mendes is a homeless man’s Tyson Gillies.

Correct.

Also can’t play center.

But Gillies’ strikeout issues aren’t that bad. 80 last year? Not damning, and that’s nothing on Mendez. Mendez struck out 142 times in 2008, over 393 at-bats. He only slugged .336, with an average of .237.

This just makes me miss Omar Falcon
I'd suggest Blake Ochoa, but he might have some talent.

Traded one for one with the Marlins for the incredible Danny Santin.

Well, that went well.
Sup faggots
Aw looks like I'm late
