That clip of Izzy drop kicking that catcher after getting beaned with a ball in the minors. Please put Felix as Izzy and Johnson as the catcher. Thanks!
Though Felix needs to get his ass out of the way. I’m worried about him doing something crazy in the field to get hurt than Rob hurting him. Like standing in the way of a sliding base runner
Hmm. Dave Trembely sez it is all Rickey Henderson's fault.
Jones entered Wednesday night 6-for-27 (.222) on the current road trip and 0-for-8 in the series against the Seattle Mariners, his old team, his average dropping to .215.
“He’s swinging at way too many bad pitches,” Trembley said of Jones. “I probably did him a disservice by introducing him to Rickey Henderson the other day in Oakland. I told Rickey Henderson, ‘I’d like Jones to impersonate Rickey Henderson a few times and get us on the board with a leadoff homer.’ Rickey Henderson is the best in the world at doing that, and I think Jones is thinking that he’s got to do that. He’s a great kid. If they throw him a strike, he’ll do what he can do with it. But you can’t do that if you’re swinging at pitches in the dirt or over your head.”
"It’s time to dial it up and get this thing going in a positive direction and quit accepting it and saying ’it’s ok’ because it’s not ok," he said. "It’s not ok at all. I’m tired of covering for people. I’m not going to cover for them anymore."
"I’ve been in a position where I’m a really nice fella and I’ll cover and I’ll get questions point blank and I feel like I’m a damn presidential press secretary sometimes instead of telling it what is it, I have to smooth it over," he said. "I’m not smoothing it over anymore. Everybody here is intuitive enough. I love the players. There are people that want to see them fail. I’m not one of them. I don’t want to see them fail. I want to see the Baltimore Orioles succeed. I know the odds are against us but I think we can do it. I think we can do it. That’s how I feel."
But I get a sick sense of satisfaction from knowing that it may have been a recent loss to the M’s that caused a manager of a struggling team to finally crack.
Which he did by having a tiny strike zone and being selective as fuck. Yes, let’s take from that “try to hit more homeruns”. I’m starting to see why O’s fans hate the guy.
Jones acknowledged that he has been trying too hard to make up the offense lost with leadoff man Brian Roberts on the disabled list.
“Maybe, sometimes, I’m in my own head,” Jones said. “I might be trying too hard. I’m just trying to do too much instead of just having a simple approach. [Nick Markakis] is the same way. Me and him talked about it today, and we are trying to do too much, just really trying to pick up the slack. We just need to go back to the simple approach that got us here. We just need base hits. I think some guys are trying to get the big hit rather than just a hit.”
I don’t think that he’s entirely finished developing as a hitter, as he was really up and down (though slightly gimpy) last season, so I don’t think it would hurt him exactly.
1. Rob Johnson fucking sucks
2. Rob Johnson fucking sucks
3. Rob Johnson should get the fuck outta here.
4. Sweeney fucking sucks
3. We all have Kotch boners
leading to a free fall in his career which causes him to wash out of baseball and become a homeless person and we all have to sit and wonder what might have been with such a excellent young player with seemingly endless potential never fulfilling that dream. Or he might shake it off as a bad game, who knows?

If it makes you feel any better, there are a disturbing number of comments in the mod queue at USSM right now that I just can't bring myself to sift through
I try to follow my Mariners when I can. Can’t always get on the game threads, but I try to pay attention to the Score and developments as I can. Its difficult with teams in every time zone to pay attention too.
But attendance numbers always lags behind a team’s success. If/when we stay in contention throughout the spring and summer (and with warmer weather), the numbers will come up.
JOHNNY SLICK NOBODY LIKES YOU ON THIS SITE-PEOPLE THAT DO PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE
PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE. NOBODY THINKS YOU ARE FUNNY AND YOU ARE RUINING SOMETHING THAT WE WORKED VERY HARD TO BUILD. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY BUT IF YOU CONTINUE TO POST HERE I WILL SOON WISH TERRIBLE THINGS ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
It just occurred to me that that the mods have to do exactly that.
That would ruin it for me. I’m never commenting during a game again. Sorry guys, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s enjoyment of the game. Especially not on King Felix Day.
Maybe people will settle down once, once what, this season is going to be this season. Hopefully, we continue to do what GMZ built this team to do. We want playoffs. I have nothing to add – let me go back and read what is so annoying.
If you're a new poster, even if you're not adding something good at the start, we don't care that much
as long as you’re respectful of others and follow the site rules – as long as you make progress towards being a good poster, it’s fine. Just don’t be a horrible one
It’s certainly nice to get a warm welcome. I’ve been lurking for a long time and I am outside your general demographic. I’m an old woman and I won’t abuse the invitation to post. Thank you.
I still get excited whenever something happens and want to make an excited post in the gamethread
but I also want to participate in the discussion that’s going on.
What’s frustrating/disturbing to me is that it seems like a lot of the good game thread banter is now taking place between regulars on non-LL channels. IT might be nice if everyone came together and bantered in the gamethread one day instead. Perhaps the Lee start or the next Felix day.
Still a lot of new posters around, and we haven’t quite separated the wheat from the chaff yet. Plus, something I brought up earlier, but I think a lot of it has to do with the first homestead of the year, and most of the regular posters are at the stadium.
I think things should improve pretty soon. I hope.
It's really therapeutic, very nice stress release.
I’m not sure if there’s a proper flag comment, so I just pop off a rant and try to be humorous about it. Write them in the voice of different people. Tends to be R. Lee Ermey more often than not.
We've worked very hard to create a community here over the past few years
it’s very frustrating to watch people come in and disrespect our rules and customs in gamethreads, which have traditionally been among the best threads on Lookout Landing.
We don’t ask that new posters don’t post – in fact, it’s the opposite. We just want people to post better.
A's broadcast is flipping the fuck out over the fact that Jeter very obviously went around for strike 3 on back to back pitches, but neither were called.
Only 53 more Games Finished until Fuentes option kicks in. Oh, how I wish Matt Capps were a free agent next year so the Angels could make the same mistake every off season!

tough to argue with that
Though Felix needs to get his ass out of the way. I’m worried about him doing something crazy in the field to get hurt than Rob hurting him. Like standing in the way of a sliding base runner
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
Just get Rob when he goes to visit his parents
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
We could send him back to Butte.
Seriously, is there any punishment we could deal out worse than that?
ExiledToSoCal - April 21, 2010
Adelanto, CA
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Been there.
Butte is worse. I’d rather get stuck in Sierra Vista AZ than go back to Butte.
ExiledToSoCal - April 21, 2010
He'd be able to hit there though.
JY - April 21, 2010
Is this THE Ryan Divish?
rickpo - April 21, 2010
Yes.
Scruffy Lefty - April 21, 2010
NO IT'S THE OTHER RYAN DIVISH
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
I don't know that there are any other Ryan Divishs out there
I’m the only one I know of.
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
I believe it's Divishes
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Other posters seemed to confuse you with Yu Darvish earlier today
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
And yes, My post was a joke
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Isn't there a Divish who pitches in Japan?
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Not that I know of. There's a Darvish.
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
Darvish.

I try to monitor the most entertaining game threads in baseball
plus you can say fuck and not get into trouble
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
Pleasure to be of service!
I’ll give you a dollar if you can get Felix to say Robert instead of Rob tonight
Robert - April 21, 2010
We encourage it, more like.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
You're welcome.
CapSea - April 22, 2010
So sorry you had to see this.
OlSalty - April 22, 2010
Is there any chance you could sneak a sniper rifle into the press box?
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
LET'S DRESS ROB JOHNSON UP IN A DAVE TREMBLEY COSTUME AND SEND HIM BACK WITH THE ORIOLES SO THAT THEIR FANS WILL KILL HIM
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
GOOD IDEA!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
This could work.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Hey, Lopez with a ground out.
svart aske - April 21, 2010
What a surprise
MsForever - April 21, 2010
Kotchman!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
KOTCHY
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Rangers lost in 12 innings
jackyz - April 21, 2010
Kotchman!
I like him.

Yay Kotchman
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
KAWTCHDAWG
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Kotchman still doesn't realize how slow he is
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
Kotchman is a cool guy
Alto - April 21, 2010
We're getting better at running the basepaths!
Scruffy Lefty - April 21, 2010
Can we now put Kotchman in the 4 spot now?
stredarts - April 21, 2010
And murder Sweeney?
stredarts - April 21, 2010
Nice Casey
skywaker9 - April 21, 2010
Kotch!
Yes, do more to make us forget the terrible Rob Johnson.
JY - April 21, 2010
And he GIDPS on the first pitch
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Literally the worst possible result
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Sweeney GIDP time!
BrownL - April 21, 2010
SWEENEY.
CAN YOU TAKE A FUCKING PITCH YOU FUCKFACE.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Thank you old man DH
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
GEE SWEENEY I'M SURE GLAD WE STILL HAVE YOU AROUND

3 AB's
4 PITCHES. JESUS SWEENEY
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
FUCK YOU SWEENEY...FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
I love how the Orioles took roughly 25 minutes turning that double play...
and still had Sweeney by a good 15 feet.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Fucking Mike Sweeney.
Gone by end of April.
Scruffy Lefty - April 21, 2010
We can only hope
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
Way to work the count Sweeney
You useless fuck
TWownsU - April 21, 2010
Man that .500 BA sure was fucking awesome in ST huh Mike?
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Sooooooo can we cut Mike's Weeny yet?
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
I see what you did there.
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Childish, I know.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Yup, gotta get Sweeney some playing time
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
First pitch Sweeney!
If Rob is gonna start hitting someone has to pick up the sucky slack.
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
Someone take out Sweeney's leg so he can be a full time mascot.
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
I WOULD RATHER HAVE TEN MIKE SWEENEYS THAN ONE ROB JOHNSON
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
That's a tough one actually...
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
But Mike Sweeney can't catch!
wait
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
HE CAME UP AS A CATCHER
IF WE HAD TEN WE COULD KEEP REPLACING THEM WHEN THEY BREAK
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Nice job Sweeney.
Go away and give us Langerhans back.
Heydude - April 21, 2010
Well, if we're lucky...
Wak will actually catch on that Sweeney isn’t an asset.
Rachmaninoff - April 21, 2010
He should've caught on long ago
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Ya think?
Rachmaninoff - April 21, 2010
Back to Felix!
JY - April 21, 2010
And my soup!
Scruffy Lefty - April 21, 2010
Sweeney had better be cut after this game.
Rob Johnson too, but in a different way.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
So does that mean that Sweeney has made 4 outs on 3 pitches?
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
Why did we give Sweeney a roster spot?
jackyz - April 21, 2010
Hugs?
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
This.

Those lips would be more appropriate on A-Rod though.

There is not words....
the other side - April 21, 2010
Just a couple of DFA buddies hanging out.
Nate Dogg - April 21, 2010

JLC - April 21, 2010
Me telling you to put the eyes on Sweeney is what makes this
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Agreed.
Scruffy Lefty - April 21, 2010
Yeah we shoudl all just rec this comment
Bearskin Rugburn - April 21, 2010
"He earned it with his performance in Spring Training and the end of last year."
svart aske - April 21, 2010
Canucks tie it up. Short-Handed.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
I want to see how many pitches Sweeney has taken this season.
13 ABs now.. right? So like 25 pitches maybe if I’m being generous?
TWownsU - April 21, 2010
DEAR MATT WIETERS
PLEASE GO JUAN MARICHAL ON ROB JOHNSON
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Justin Heyward.
Really Dave?
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Niehaus called Nolan Reimold
Nate Reimold all game yesterday.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
The Orioles have seven hits and one run.
JY - April 21, 2010
Wow Felix sucks
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
He's no Fister, that's for sure.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Felix needs to quit this whole fielding thing.
My heart can’t stand it.
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
I wanna see Guti back off for Tui
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
The only reason Felix gives up singles and walks is to allow the defense to practice double plays.
JY - April 21, 2010
He's such a team guy.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Fister would have had that one.
rickpo - April 21, 2010
Why are these baseballs flying in the air all of the sudden
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
BECAUSE ROB JOHNSON
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Gotta get Sex some action.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Damn, that's just a mean pitch to throw to Adam Jones.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
It's like Felix is just saying, "Bitch, you are Corey Patterson. Go act like Corey Patterson."
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
Thats a mean pitch to throw to anyone.
the other side - April 21, 2010
The A's are making Phil Hughes look good
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
Yeah, Adam Jones had no prayer there
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
SIDDOWN, JONES!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
AHHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU ADAM JONES
Benne - April 21, 2010
KKKK!

See ya later bitch
Jackle Mackle - April 21, 2010
Glad we got ridd'a that guy...
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Yep
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
TOO BAD WE COULDN'T HAVE TRADED ROB JOHNSON TOO
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
I think Adam Jones would really aggravate me if he were still a Mariner.
JLC - April 21, 2010
We'd all be pining for Cleveland's awesome and incredibly sexy right fielder.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
He would be playing with much much much less pressure.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Hmm. Dave Trembely sez it is all Rickey Henderson's fault.
Jones entered Wednesday night 6-for-27 (.222) on the current road trip and 0-for-8 in the series against the Seattle Mariners, his old team, his average dropping to .215.
“He’s swinging at way too many bad pitches,” Trembley said of Jones. “I probably did him a disservice by introducing him to Rickey Henderson the other day in Oakland. I told Rickey Henderson, ‘I’d like Jones to impersonate Rickey Henderson a few times and get us on the board with a leadoff homer.’ Rickey Henderson is the best in the world at doing that, and I think Jones is thinking that he’s got to do that. He’s a great kid. If they throw him a strike, he’ll do what he can do with it. But you can’t do that if you’re swinging at pitches in the dirt or over your head.”
msb - April 21, 2010
Great coaching.
Tell him to swing for the fences every time. Great move dipshit.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Yeah, let's make him impersonate a guy with one of the most unique skillsets in history.
What could possibly go wrong?
Benne - April 21, 2010
Trembley before the game
"It’s time to dial it up and get this thing going in a positive direction and quit accepting it and saying ’it’s ok’ because it’s not ok," he said. "It’s not ok at all. I’m tired of covering for people. I’m not going to cover for them anymore."
"I’ve been in a position where I’m a really nice fella and I’ll cover and I’ll get questions point blank and I feel like I’m a damn presidential press secretary sometimes instead of telling it what is it, I have to smooth it over," he said. "I’m not smoothing it over anymore. Everybody here is intuitive enough. I love the players. There are people that want to see them fail. I’m not one of them. I don’t want to see them fail. I want to see the Baltimore Orioles succeed. I know the odds are against us but I think we can do it. I think we can do it. That’s how I feel."
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
Saw that quote in the Times article
Rizzs said something about him calling out the pitchers using expletives. Happen to have an uncensored quote handy?
Benne - April 21, 2010
Remember when Squinty McClusterfuck went on that scripted tirade?
That was adorable.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
"We need to buckle down" was my favorite part about that.
It was the classic “my job is already gone and I’m just trying to save face” meltdown.
Benne - April 21, 2010
I wanted to pat him on the head and pinch his cheeks
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
no, I don't. I wasn't there for that.
Ryan Divish - April 21, 2010
Bummer.
Benne - April 21, 2010
He sure was in a good mood today
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
I feel guilty about it
But I get a sick sense of satisfaction from knowing that it may have been a recent loss to the M’s that caused a manager of a struggling team to finally crack.
JLC - April 21, 2010
Rickey Henderson also drew a shit-ton of walks.
Which he did by having a tiny strike zone and being selective as fuck. Yes, let’s take from that “try to hit more homeruns”. I’m starting to see why O’s fans hate the guy.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
more from the Sun article
Jones acknowledged that he has been trying too hard to make up the offense lost with leadoff man Brian Roberts on the disabled list.
“Maybe, sometimes, I’m in my own head,” Jones said. “I might be trying too hard. I’m just trying to do too much instead of just having a simple approach. [Nick Markakis] is the same way. Me and him talked about it today, and we are trying to do too much, just really trying to pick up the slack. We just need to go back to the simple approach that got us here. We just need base hits. I think some guys are trying to get the big hit rather than just a hit.”
msb - April 21, 2010

In Tacoma?
JY - April 21, 2010
Burns. Sweeney.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Tui's only had twelve at-bats this season.
I don’t think that he’s entirely finished developing as a hitter, as he was really up and down (though slightly gimpy) last season, so I don’t think it would hurt him exactly.
JY - April 21, 2010
I just think he looks good at the plate.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
So good he's stuck out in half the AB he's been in this year.
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Not really

That seems like an odd reaction to productivity
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson?
A hit tonight does not equal productivity.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Especially at the expense of kicking Felix in the face
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
The Orioles players are ugly
jackyz - April 21, 2010
Makes sense, their fanbase tends to be ugly
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
STRIKE HIM OUT MILLWOOD!

OR HIT HIM IN THE FACE!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
OR HIT HIM IN THE FACE THEN STRIKE HIM OUT!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
What the fuck is this?

Sorry, my fingers just started moving when I saw Rob Johnson... really sorry... don't know what came over me
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Ugh
Matthew - April 21, 2010
It is generally good practice to wait at least 10 seconds before you post a thought, then decide if it's still a good idea
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Some people just stop after step 1

Agreed!

That would be the preferred option

So I havent been paying attention
I guess the game has gone like this:
1)Rob Johnson fucking sucks
2)Sweeney fucking sucks
3)We all have Kotch boners.
par for the course, right?
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
Yep
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson has been good so far
Jackle Mackle - April 21, 2010
Insert Felix for kotch
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Guti as well but thats pretty much permanent.
the other side - April 21, 2010
1A) Rob Johnson is damned lucky.

1. Rob Johnson fucking sucks
2. Rob Johnson fucking sucks

Rob Johnson's black now?

Felix has become everything we could have ever wanted from him
Robert - April 21, 2010
Not as promiscuous

Bitch gotta have a family before he can cheat on them.

He could still go all Tiger Woods. Theres time.
the other side - April 21, 2010
I want more
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
A power bottom?
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Felix is getting a shit ton of ground balls.
If he keeps this up all year . . .
killer_ewok18 - April 21, 2010
Damn.
96 in the 7th.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
That's Felix~
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Gameday has him at 80 pitches through 7
Scrupio - April 21, 2010
MPH would be my guess
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Whoops, I guess either number is good
Scrupio - April 21, 2010
MPH
Nojf33 - April 21, 2010
I think he meant speed
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
I know this is off-subject but have we heard any new news on Rafael DePaula?
jackyz - April 21, 2010
He died this afternoon
:(
Robert - April 21, 2010
ROB JOHNSON KILLED HIM
AND THEN RAPED HIS CORPSE
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
And used his blood as lubricant
jackyz - April 21, 2010
Enough
Jesus
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Not lately.
We’re still frontrunners, he’s still working out for everyone.

JBell523 - April 21, 2010
FELIXXXXXXXXXX!!!!
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Phil Hughes good through six with a reasonable pitch count
Justin Upton will get his chance either this inning or next inning
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Upton doesn't play for the A's
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
Chance for what?
Goose - April 21, 2010
Sombrero de Oro
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Yeah?
How is that historic?
Goose - April 21, 2010
It might be the game that shakes his confidence
leading to a free fall in his career which causes him to wash out of baseball and become a homeless person and we all have to sit and wonder what might have been with such a excellent young player with seemingly endless potential never fulfilling that dream. Or he might shake it off as a bad game, who knows?
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Justin Upton?
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
More importantly he has a NO HITTER going.
This isn’t working for me.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Alright...
Please shut the fuck up.
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
Complete game for Felix?
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010

w00tah - April 21, 2010
You do realize the Yankees winning today could put us in first place, right?
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
What does this have to do with NO HITTER???
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
So, we're seriously rooting for the A's to succeed?
Seriously?
Why?
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
To get a hit.
w00tah - April 21, 2010
I guess I don't get it
As long as a team is playing against TEX, OAK, or LAA and them winning won’t hurt us, I am rooting for that team to prevail in every way.
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
No, actually, you do get it
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
Because this website has become infested with 3rd graders
or people that think at a 3rd-grade level
Matthew - April 21, 2010
So you say that the only way the Yankees can beat the A's is if they hold them to no hits?
You have a lot more respect for that lineup than I do.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
God just shut up
Shut. Up.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
The way I see it
Hit = baserunner
Simple as that.
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
Who gives a shit?
The A’s losing=good for us.
Benne - April 21, 2010
.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Yeah, you're overusing that.
It’s a little like mid-90s pop music.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
There is no amount of overusing that in your case
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
You're overusing the Post button.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
You are hardly one to complain about repetitiveness.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
I want the A's to lose, totally.
I don’t want the Yankees to get a no-hitter.
I think we can work something out.
the other side - April 21, 2010
They don't need a no-hitter to do that.
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
I can root for an Angels loss and a Yankees loss at the same time, can't I?
Even if it’s not physically possible?
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
Also, I forgot to mention...
NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER

You seem to be confused

You're just the worst.

That's for sure!

Wow.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
I want to job shadow him on SBN bring your kid to post day.

It must be purged with fire
Sweet, cleansing fire.

Nice
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
No.
No it isn’t. Not in the least.
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
I think that was the point
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
Seriously, dead meme.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Is there any particular reason we wouldn't want him to no-hit the A's?
BrianL - April 21, 2010
It's the new trendy thing in baseball
Alto - April 21, 2010
Which one? Flirting with no-hitters or jinxing them?
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
At this point, what can be said?
It’s good to be on the King’s side.
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
Of course
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Detriot should
man up now.
Luisam - April 21, 2010
Haaa, Millwood is a pro
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Pitching the game
of his life.
Luisam - April 21, 2010
HOW THE FUCK IS IT POSSIBLE TO SCREW UP RICE-A-RONI
:( :( :( :(
Robert - April 21, 2010
Having the attention span of a gnat in rendering factory
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Being high usually does the trick for me
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
Second that.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
what on earth
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
It's like mashed potatoes
Robert - April 21, 2010
I've seen instant mashed potatoes messed up
like the time my idiot roommate put the mix in the water and THEN boiled it
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Forget to out the seasoning in there...
I’ve done it.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
It's because you suck dicks.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Why don't you help him
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
suck dicks?
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I was not at home until like 10 seconds ago.
I would have helped him though, I made his first batch successful.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Hey the rice-a-roni on the stove is fair game if you want it.
Robert - April 21, 2010
Did you remember the water?
JLC - April 21, 2010
I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE IT
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
I LOOKED AND I REMEMBERED IT BEING REALLY TASTY
Robert - April 21, 2010
Really? It only reminds me of the worst memories of college.
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
Even San Franciscans don't think it's a treat
lemonverbena - April 21, 2010
Don't forget to brown the vermicilli first!
rickpo - April 21, 2010
That's a new take on the walk-off celebration
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Our offense sucks when it doesn't score runs
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Oh no Guti's under .400
Dam it regression!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Detroit only 1 run back on LAA and Oak is still losing
Weeee!
kschimke - April 21, 2010
And texas lost!
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
I feel like we're one more really terrible comment away from good LL going all Enola Gay on bad LL.
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
It's getting fucking close. These gamethreads have sucked ass all season long.
Goose - April 21, 2010
They're always a little bad at first but holy hell this is unbearable
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
I understand that the first week is always crazy. But I though we'd be past that by now.
Goose - April 21, 2010
This needs a fucking Grahamocaust
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Too much strong beer.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Next time give him Mike's Hard Lemonade
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I miss that stuff
Robert - April 21, 2010
It doesn't have caffeine
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
I know but it still was tasty
Robert - April 21, 2010
I'm saying you can have it dumbass.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
I get really disappointed with myself when I think of buying it so instead I buy beer.
Robert - April 21, 2010
You are awesome
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I'm really hoping somebody brings one home so i can steal it but I have trained Kirk well and Fuzz drinks Bud Light
Robert - April 21, 2010
How could Kirk bring one home anyway?
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
I buy it for him
Robert - April 21, 2010
Your logic is weird.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
I'll steal it?
Kirk - April 21, 2010
I suppose I could buy it for him considering that I came out alright
Robert - April 21, 2010
You came out?
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Yes he did.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
All over the mirror.
hairofthedawg - April 21, 2010
I train myself well.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
If you come down to SD, I have three fridges solely devoted to beer
the worst one has Stone and Full Sail six packs in it
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
GOOD BEER ISNT THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM IS THAT I WANT SHITTY MALT LIQUOR
Robert - April 21, 2010
I am brewing my own beer as well, you can drink that
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Rogue Mocha Porter on the other hand...
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
It's really testing my patience
Matthew - April 21, 2010
If it makes you feel any better, there are a disturbing number of comments in the mod queue at USSM right now that I just can't bring myself to sift through
It’s not just LL.
Jeff Nye - April 21, 2010
Not sure how you do it over at USSM
I would’ve gouged my eyes out by now
JLC - April 21, 2010
We have lots of awesome regulars that make it feel worthwhile, basically.
And actually, the regulars do help, some. Not quite as, uh, aggressively as here. But people like joser and msb are worth their weight in gold.
Anyway, don’t want to turn this into too much about USSM, but I wanted to see if I could make Matthew feel a bit better.
Jeff Nye - April 21, 2010
You also don't have the regulars to help police either =(
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I like to think that we can shape people into solid contributors without resorting to hostility and bans
but 2010 is really challenging that lofty goal
Matthew - April 21, 2010
I think that experiment has failed miserably
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
I think we're closer than that
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Theres an annoying subthread a few up that could use closing.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Clicking the x in the corner of your browser should do the trick
Robert - April 21, 2010
Alt F-5 also does the trick.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Suicide bombing seems quicker.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Suicide bombing seems quicker.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Or I could just out myself as a baddie.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
It's new screenname syndrome
also, the interface has seemed kinda slow all year, I keep double posting too
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Though I'm fairly sure it's because LL is destroying servers
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
A suicide bombings is rarely successful twice.
the other side - April 21, 2010
It seems like it's usually better during road trips, when the good regular posters aren't at the stadium.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Ichiro, Guti and Ichiro: 0 for 10
Rob Johnson is our catalyst and Jack Wilson is our RBI guy. Bizarro Mariners!
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
oops. Ichiro, Figgins, and Guti.
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
If anyone could be two people, it would be Ichiro
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Yeah. We must be in some alternate universe.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
FREDDY!
Loved that guy!

Sick
Goose - April 21, 2010
FELIX!
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
What the hell is with all the close No hitters?
Hughes of the Yankees is working on one now as well. Are all the teams working on getting one before the all star break this year or something?
Jamkel - April 21, 2010
You don't say!
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
:( Just got finished with college HW.
Didn’t realize what had been going on throughout the league. I had the Spurs/Mavs game on and only just noticed what was going on.
Jamkel - April 21, 2010
Haha, that wasn't meant for you
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
This was not meant for Jamkel at all
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Whew...
Its past midnight here, and I’ve been up since 4. After working on Neutron interaction theory, I feel a little burnt out.
Jamkel - April 21, 2010
No, you're cool.
Stay around. We’re not that scary, honest.
Benne - April 21, 2010
:D Thanks.
I try to follow my Mariners when I can. Can’t always get on the game threads, but I try to pay attention to the Score and developments as I can. Its difficult with teams in every time zone to pay attention too.
Jamkel - April 21, 2010
How many pitches is Felix at now?
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
88
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
66 strikes 22 balls
Yay funny numbers
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
3 1/2.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Kx5
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
K!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Only 87 pitches so far.
Go for the CG!
Benne - April 21, 2010
What is this camera angle?
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
I wish more ads used a slide whistle
Robert - April 21, 2010
In all the excitement I hadn't realized that Felix is close to a complete game
JLC - April 21, 2010
Come on Detroit.
Score more runs!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Poop
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Markakis has that fucking annoying inside-out swing going tonight
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
Top 8
It’s wave time at Safeco, isn’t it?
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Just about.
Yay Orioles! Score some runs!
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Wait what?
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
They're doing the wave while the Orioles are batting.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Thanks a lot, Markakis.
Real mature.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Damit Markakis
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Killing dreams is his thing, apparently.
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Supposed to rain all series in Chicago.
Boo.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
At least it won't snow.
Hopefully.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Thats Cleveland!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
I know that.
I’m just saying look at the bright side.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Gotcha.
I’m a pessimist.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Man, way to help Felix by hitting a ball in the dirt.
Jesus, the O’s are pressing.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
95 pitches... he's going for it
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Baltimore makes for some really quick games.
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
BAD DEFENSE WOOHOO
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Hahahahahahahahaha
Jackle Mackle - April 21, 2010
Ty Wigginton.
Major League Third Baseman.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Ty Wiggington is hilarious at 3B
Benne - April 21, 2010
He's kind of always been fat and bad, even when he was a 2B
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Apparently he was a 3rd baseman back than too, whoops
I swear I remember him playing 2nd with the Rays
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
"3B"
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Well, that's a new way to lose a no-hitter.
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
That's hilarious.
Waiting for all the Yankees fans to start complaining that it was an error.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
What happened?
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
There was a hit.
the other side - April 21, 2010
That doesn't seem new.
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Never mind, Sims just explained.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Ball was hit to the lower part of Phil's body.
Then it rolled towards the batter’s plate and Hughes couldn’t find it.
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
Woo hoo!
I’m serious. If the A’s beat the M’s by a game in the division race and the Yankees lost 90 games, I would consider it a good season.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
That's fucked up
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
I'm a big M's fan but I hate the Yankees more.
Sorry guys.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
Take a break.
Seriously, just walk away for the rest of this game.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Because right now, what you are doing is considered trolling.
Keep it up and your vacation will be permanent.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
THEN YOU ARE NOT A MARINERS FAN WHAT THE FUCK
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Beat me to it
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
I seriously don't fucking understand this logic at all

Amazing
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010

seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
If your Yankee hate has overcome your love of the mariners you can leave.
the other side - April 21, 2010
You're an idiot
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
You sir need to stop.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Stop. Now.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Jesus fuck
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Who are you and why are you trolling?
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Then you would fit in at Athletics Nation in more ways than one now wouldn't you
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Flags people.
Goose - April 21, 2010
Good call
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
MagicMike? Is...is that you?
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
I wish you were at Pearl Harbor with Kurt Suzuki.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
You are the worst fucking poster ever
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
You can knock that off any time, seriously.
I understand that’s not a popular thing, but I don’t like the Yankees. Live with it.
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
You've made your point
But you are seriously at the end of your rope
JLC - April 21, 2010
Take a goddamn hint.

I think I know a place you might fit in better.

ExiledToSoCal - April 21, 2010
Best thing you can do now is just leave.
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
I have a feeling that you're done.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
"3B" indeed.
Goose - April 21, 2010
E1?
lemonverbena - April 21, 2010
That Ty Wiggington sure plays a mean 3B.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
I've missed Matt Kata.
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
Hahahaha that was some Bill Buckner shit there.
Do the O’s have Calvin Schiraldi in the pen?
Johnny Slick - April 21, 2010
HIT for Chavez!
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
HUGHES JUST LOST IT
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
WHY ARE WE CHEERING FOR THIS
THEY’RE PLAYING THE FIRST PLACE OAKLAND ATHLETICS
BrianL - April 21, 2010
HITS BY THE A'S ARE BAD FOR US
BrianL - April 21, 2010
YOU DONT NEED A NO HITTER TO WIN
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
HITS LEAD TO RUNS
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
CORRECTION
HITS WITH RISP LEADS TO RUNS
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Home runs aren't hits?
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
A HITTER CAN GET TO A SCORING POSITION VIA A HIT
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
Common sense
Use it.
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
WE aren't,
jackasses are.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
The jackasses need to stop being jackasses.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Plus, why not root for good baseball?
Phil Hughes was close to doing something relatively historic, and in a good 10 strikeout fashion too.
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
With only one walk
I really can’t complain about that.
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
DO YOU PEOPLE NOT REALIZE IF OAKLAND LOSES WE ARE IN FIRST PLACE
SERIOUSLY, FUCK
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Wow...
Especially considering how bad we were to start off with. I’ll take first any time of the year so long as we end up there as well.
Jamkel - April 21, 2010
TIED FOR FIRST, WHATEVER
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Will everyone stop freaking out?
The Yankees can still win…
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
And there's a nut shot
Almost made him puke.
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
So does Trembley get fired tonight, or do they wait till morning?
Benne - April 21, 2010
It's not the Mets, they'll wait til morning.
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
Off his chest?
THAT SERIOUSLY JUST FREAKING SUCKS.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Comebacker off Hughes' chest
Wow, that really sucks.
JLC - April 21, 2010
Would you call Lopie 'burly'?
msb - April 21, 2010
He's more 'cuddly'.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
so fucking rec'd
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Dave N called him burly, and I had to look up to see who he was talking about.
msb - April 21, 2010
WOOO GO OAKLAND BEAT THAT TEAM IN THE OTHER DIVISION THAT WE AREN'T DIRECTLY COMPETING WITH
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Seriously, can we all stop rooting for Oakland now?
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Not being serious.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
No worries, I was agreeing with you in spirit
BrownL - April 21, 2010
I agree.
But its also nice to know that I won’t have to listen to the Yankee bullshit for a week straight.
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Who the fuck cares?
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Seriously.
WE COULD BE IN FIRST FUCKING PLACE WHO CARES IF THE YANKEES WIN ONE FUCKING GAME JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
Benne - April 21, 2010
And you still will.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Divish says no action in the pen. Felix is going all the way.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Wonderful
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Aardsma just got up.
I imagine he comes in if Felix has trouble?
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Felix will not have trouble
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Agreed.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Or not.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
What's the attendence tonight?
Nojf33 - April 21, 2010
~18,000
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Hmmmmm.......
Not to great for Felix Day. But I guess it’s the Orioles.
Nojf33 - April 21, 2010
It's better than the 14 and 15k that were there the past two nights.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Is part of the reason for the low attendance
that the season ticket numbers are lower this year?
jtopps - April 21, 2010
That might have something to do with it.
But attendance numbers always lags behind a team’s success. If/when we stay in contention throughout the spring and summer (and with warmer weather), the numbers will come up.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
18,401
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Sweeney didn't hit the first pitch!!!!!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Fuck this gamethread.
Goose - April 21, 2010
Well this gamethread has certainly been an adventure
Torrid - April 21, 2010
The Detriot one was better
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
A terrible, terrible "adventure"
jtopps - April 21, 2010
Garbage Sweeney.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
A's crowd has a "Yankees Suck!" chant going
Normally, I’d agree.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Why not now?
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Because the Yankees winning today helps us.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Oh I thought you meant like on a normal day
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Because they are playing a division rival. How is this so difficult to grasp?
Also, the Yankees don’t suck.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Some people can only hold one thought in their head at a time.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
No they don't. But its the symbolism that counts.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
The enemy of our enemy is our friend.
At least for tonight.
Benne - April 21, 2010
JOHNNY SLICK NOBODY LIKES YOU ON THIS SITE-PEOPLE THAT DO PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE
PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE. NOBODY THINKS YOU ARE FUNNY AND YOU ARE RUINING SOMETHING THAT WE WORKED VERY HARD TO BUILD. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY BUT IF YOU CONTINUE TO POST HERE I WILL SOON WISH TERRIBLE THINGS ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Robert - April 21, 2010
But who will carry out these "wishes"?
russak - April 21, 2010
I'm a trained assassin.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson?
the other side - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson never ruined LL.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
Felix
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Can't risk Felix leaving fingerprints on a baseball lodged in someone's skull.
russak - April 21, 2010
At least being in first place will be worth sitting through this awful, awful gamethread.
Benne - April 21, 2010
I wouldn't even bother sifting
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Could have done it without the thread.
Still Woooo First.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Couldn't agree more.
I think everybody spent more time attacking trolling posters than talking about the game. But Go Felix! One more out!
Heydude - April 21, 2010
IT HAD TO BE DONE
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Felix time!
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
Wooo CG Felix.
Gooooooo!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
GO FELIX!!!!!!
Benne - April 21, 2010
Tell you what, good LL posters
if y’all go to the donations link right now and send LL some money exceeding $250 total, I will go on a ban spree.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
God, if I wasn't dirt poor right now I totally would.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Count me in.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
I'll personally give you some monies.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
You already owe me monies
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Oh snap
Robert - April 21, 2010
So do you
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Oh snap
Robert - April 21, 2010
Well those were the monies I was going to give you.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
I will donate you the bottle of your choice from my collection over the July 4 weekend if you do this
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Bottles of Lost Abbey Framboise and Red Poppy 2010 if you do it
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I'm in for 10.
wazzu93 - April 21, 2010
Soon as my bank stops fucking with my accounts you will have some money to go towards this wonderful cause.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
I'll be damned, there is in fact a donations link, and it's not particularly new
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Oh snap
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Done
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Quick question
Is Felix actually throwing 94 MPH sinkers? Or are those fastballs that just have good movement?
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Good movement I believe.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Felix's two seamer is so nasty that pitch f/x can't keep up.
moyerLIVES - April 21, 2010
Based on its constant rise in velocity
It might have been a change-up
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Fucking Beautiful, Felix.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
So beautiful I had to capitalise it.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Wow, that pitch was filthy
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Good lord that was a nasty pitch.
Felix is so sexy.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
WHEN LEE COMES BACK IT WILL BE LIKE ...
….. HAVING TWO FELIX DAYS IN A ROW!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Except it will be Felix Day and then Lee Day.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
No it won't
Jackle Mackle - April 21, 2010
yes
C-Nage - April 21, 2010
Cliffy Day?
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
No, that's stupid.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Cliff gLee
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
My brain cannot comprehend
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
In a good way!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Other handed Felix day!
w00tah - April 21, 2010
Lee-fix day?
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
I can't figure out if this is idiotic or brilliant
Torrid - April 21, 2010
Alright here we go. GO FELIX LET'S FINISH THIS!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
1 OUT TO GO
Benne - April 21, 2010
One more out!
Felix!
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
So this Felix guy is pretty good
Alto - April 21, 2010
I'm confused
“Guy” implies mortal….
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
CMON FELIX
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 21, 2010
Love that 3 lefty dugout chat.
Fuckmikereilly - April 21, 2010
On the pregame, Vargas and Fister were both raving about talking pitching with Lee
You got the impression that they shadow him constantly
msb - April 21, 2010
Where the fuck was that pitch
JLC - April 21, 2010
Garrett Atkins looks like a Mike Myers character
jtopps - April 21, 2010
The comedian, not the LOOGY
jtopps - April 21, 2010
So he looks like Mike Myers?
Fuckmikereilly - April 21, 2010
*Mike Myers in a fat suit
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
Felix hotness!
C-Nage - April 21, 2010
Darn
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Damit Atkins! What the hell!!!???
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Jesus they dont give up easy huh
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Awwww....
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
One more, go get em Felix!
Heydude - April 21, 2010
Pure HEAT!
C-Nage - April 21, 2010
Pure CURVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C-Nage - April 21, 2010
grrrrrr.... crappy Internet
That was so delayed.
C-Nage - April 21, 2010
FELIX
I Lick Squirrels - April 21, 2010
That's the first time I've heard Blowers say "no doubt about it" this year.
There’s no way it’s the first time he has though. I think my brain blocked it out after last season.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Boy, Johnson called a great game!!!
Kidding
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
ONE MORE FELIX.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
K THIS BITCH!
Throw the nasty curve!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
WHAT A GATO/KAT SIGN?
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Felix the Cat?
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Yes. That person needs to go away.
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
I hate that that seems to be catching on
It is the worst thing ever.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
He's King Felix and that is the perfect nickname dammit.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
No
at this point he is simply The King. There is only one
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
I think that's what Brian was saying
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
This is acceptable.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Agreed.
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Wait, are people really calling him Felix The Cat?
Bloody hell.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Krueger started it.
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
Fuck that guy.
rbr07 - April 21, 2010
Some try.
Kreuger, for one. Mitch Levy seems to have given up on it.
msb - April 21, 2010
Why the fuck do we want to compare Felix to a goddamn cartoon character and not royalty?
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Krueger's thought process:
‘His nickname came from the blogosphere, therefore it’s bad’.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Krueger also thought one of three keys to winning tonights game was to not lose
One of three.
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
No -shit- Krueger.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Bright guy that Krueger.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
Seriously.
DOES FELIX LOOK LIKE A FUCKING CAT TO YOU, BILL?
Benne - April 21, 2010
But his name is Felix! Get it? Felix?
msb - April 21, 2010
El Gato and Felix the Kat.
It’s awful
Mariner John - April 21, 2010
Just stop trying to resist Baltimore.
the other side - April 21, 2010
FINISH HIM!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
SIT DOWN BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M SORRY AARON. DON'T HURT ME.

Carl Everett sees nothing.

Presumably he believes in Felix
So he would see levitation
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
AMAZING
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Awesome.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
I am in love with this pic

Thank you Felix! Thank you Jack Wilson!

YES FELIX
Jackle Mackle - April 21, 2010
Well that was easy
SWEEPY SWEEPY
JLC - April 21, 2010
He made that look way too easy
JBell523 - April 21, 2010
Felix actually looked mediocre tonight.
I love Felix.
Fuckmikereilly - April 21, 2010
Maybe thats unfair.
He did allow very few non-groundballs.
Fuckmikereilly - April 21, 2010
18 ground balls, 11 balls in the air
Matthew - April 21, 2010
He has to let Guti catch some.
the other side - April 21, 2010
6 Ks and no walks is pretty good.
It’s not Felix on top of his game, but it’s not like Felix fell apart or anything.
ChristopherA - April 21, 2010
Perhaps, but a 1 run outing is nothing to sneeze at.
sanford_and_son - April 21, 2010
An unearned run at that.
russak - April 21, 2010
I love this team.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
WOOOO YESSS SWEEP!

It’s been a journey.
Torrid - April 21, 2010
GET DA BROOMS OUT!!!!!
Complete game by Felix and sweeping a clearly inferior just like we should. Fuckin’ a.
sanford_and_son - April 21, 2010
IS FETT ALIVE?

DAMN

IF I DIE YOU DIE
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
You would only be giving me what I want on both fronts.

As Griffey has yet to hit a HR, I am bound to leave you be and not escalate this thread

Why in the hell are they interviewing Johnson?

His happy-go-lucky attitude?

Talking to Tui on the radio side.
msb - April 21, 2010
Beware! Rob Johnson' Angry!!!
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson, taking out his anger at the plate....
….and on Felix’s head.
sanford_and_son - April 21, 2010
PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
Here come the A's.
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
*phew*
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Rob Johnson, don't smile when saying I got it, I got it. You can't catch for SHIT.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
And don't come within 500 feet of Felix again. EVER!
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
Noooo A's might actually steal this one from the Yanks.
MsForever - April 21, 2010
Just get the ball to Rivera please.
dkulich - April 21, 2010
Damnit!
Would of been a complete game shutout! THANKS TUI.
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
First thing he said.
He was not happy with himself.
msb - April 21, 2010
Question:
Why do some of you suck so much?
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
Question?
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Rhetorical, perhaps?
msb - April 21, 2010
I don't think I suck.
I could be mistaken however.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Seconded
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Which part?
This is very important.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Your opinion matches mine
And I don’t think you suck either.
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Get angrier!
kentroyals5 - April 21, 2010
I'd lake to see a banathon
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
It's Felix day and I was happy
This thread has made me less happy
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
At least you didn't witness most of it live
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
If this holds up another week, I'm organizing a damned LL Commenter Survivor
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Lookout Landing: The Reality Show
Shudder
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Does it come with a 22 dollar cash prize?
Robert - April 21, 2010
This thread damn near ruined Felix day.
the other side - April 21, 2010
I was so upset that I didn't get to a complete game shutout by Felix
Fuck almost all of you.
Robert - April 21, 2010
What happened? I can't follow both the game and the thread.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
It just occurred to me that that the mods have to do exactly that.
That would ruin it for me. I’m never commenting during a game again. Sorry guys, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s enjoyment of the game. Especially not on King Felix Day.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
There were only a small handful of people that made today's thread intolerable.
The problem is, those people were incredibly vocal and couldn’t take a hint. So long as you’re respectful to everyone else, you’re going to be fine.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
I'll go back and read the thread. I'm not lazy.
Maybe people will settle down once, once what, this season is going to be this season. Hopefully, we continue to do what GMZ built this team to do. We want playoffs. I have nothing to add – let me go back and read what is so annoying.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
OK, Read the thread. I definitely don't want to partake in game threads.
I’m sorry the moderators have no choice. I wish them well and I hope that it gets better as the season progresses.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
You should partake in game threads, they're a lot of fun
we just want them to be better
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
After reading them, I don't blame you. I'm guessing all the
regulars want them to be better. I don’t think I could add much to their quality.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
You've got it right!
Hey new posters, stop posting fucking asinine comments that none of us want to read. Be funny. Be creative. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
But!
And this is an important but! Lurk from time to time, get an idea of what works and jump in when you feel comfortable.
You’ve got the right idea, TrustBaseball, in that waiting until you have something to add is a good thing. But don’t take that to mean you never will.
Aaron Campeau - April 22, 2010
If you're a new poster, even if you're not adding something good at the start, we don't care that much
as long as you’re respectful of others and follow the site rules – as long as you make progress towards being a good poster, it’s fine. Just don’t be a horrible one
seattlebruin - April 22, 2010
You seem to get this, which already makes you a better commenter than they are.
Really we don’t want to chase you away. As long as you’re respectful to others you’re going to be just fine here.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
Thanks guys, I'll do my best.
It’s certainly nice to get a warm welcome. I’ve been lurking for a long time and I am outside your general demographic. I’m an old woman and I won’t abuse the invitation to post. Thank you.
TrustBaseball - April 22, 2010
Son of a bitch
What’d we say about the A’s?
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Dont worry 2-1 on the top of the 9th
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
That doesn't make it better
And I don’t understand why you think it does
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
Its better than a tie game
and you never know if they will score more in the 9th
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
3-1
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Which happens to be one run more than before the nohitter.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Come on Detroit!
Do somethin!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Anaheim only has 3 hits and you're losing!
Ender15 - April 21, 2010
Phil Coke looks like Kenny powers
At least his MLB.com picture does.
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Domination is so much fun.
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
I know
It’s a real comedown in the other half of the inning.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
So gamethreads have been bad this season
Or so I gather, since I’m pretty new to LL. What do good gamethreads look like?
BrownL - April 21, 2010

OlSalty - April 22, 2010
Well this is alarming
Jeff Sullivan - April 22, 2010
Totally thought this would be something else.
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 22, 2010
That explains a comment about cats from almost two years ago.
Kermit. - April 21, 2010
The opposite of this one?
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Ones without Johnny Slick and assorted other annoying people
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
The lolcat gamethread
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
They:
A) are more back-and-forth instead of reaction focused
B) filled with people that don’t post stupid opinions
C) funny
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Yeah, I can see there are fewer postgasms whenever something happens
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Fewer people means less reactions.
Kirk - April 21, 2010
It's A that makes me most sad
Posting a player’s name in all caps each time they do something is so boring.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 21, 2010
I still get excited whenever something happens and want to make an excited post in the gamethread
but I also want to participate in the discussion that’s going on.
What’s frustrating/disturbing to me is that it seems like a lot of the good game thread banter is now taking place between regulars on non-LL channels. IT might be nice if everyone came together and bantered in the gamethread one day instead. Perhaps the Lee start or the next Felix day.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Well, I've still enjoyed following the game threads
Better than staring at Gameday, to be sure. I suppose I should invest in MLBtv
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Gamethreads can still be fun
but we have high standards here. We want people to make good posts.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Dammit am I going to have to twitter
Bearskin Rugburn - April 21, 2010
I don't know why you guys are letting this thread get you down
I’ll be cracking open a fresh 6 pack to commemorate the first sweep of the season. Good times!
Mariners!
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
I can't imagine alcohol would have made this any better.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Gamethreads are supposed to be fun.
To this point, they have ranged from barely tolerable to fucking awful. It’s annoying.
BrianL - April 21, 2010
I'm going to have to babysit this weekend's, I'm sure
Watching the thread rather than the game will put me in a wonderful mood
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
And since they are pretty much the only thing I can participate in now I am getting very, very cranky
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
Samsies!
Robert - April 21, 2010
I'm sticking to our SSS mantra
Still a lot of new posters around, and we haven’t quite separated the wheat from the chaff yet. Plus, something I brought up earlier, but I think a lot of it has to do with the first homestead of the year, and most of the regular posters are at the stadium.
I think things should improve pretty soon. I hope.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Damn. Sorry to hear that.
I was under the impression that trolls just got automatically banned to prevent things from getting out of hand.
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
It's not trolls so much as well intentioned people who don't know they're annoying
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
That and those people starting to troll when they are told that their posting is against site rules and/or not necessary
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Please flag more in these threads
I’ll go through them and start banning if I have to
Graham MacAree - April 21, 2010
Will do
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
Absolutely.
This is a habit I’m trying to get in myself, and is much more productive than 10 straight comments of “SHUT THE FUCK UP.”
Benne - April 21, 2010
It's really therapeutic, very nice stress release.
I’m not sure if there’s a proper flag comment, so I just pop off a rant and try to be humorous about it. Write them in the voice of different people. Tends to be R. Lee Ermey more often than not.
Kermit. - April 21, 2010
Your flags are amazing
Matthew - April 22, 2010
Best in the network!
Jeff Sullivan - April 22, 2010
I know I am more of a recent poster here, but do you think the mods should be more "blunt" in keeping people in check?
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
When they do that people that suck complain about them being mean.
Aaron Campeau - April 21, 2010
But they have enough reasons to justify it though?
Feel free to tell me when I crossed the line, by the way
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
I have a hard time being any more blunt than I have been
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Never Mind. I shouldn't have asked.
Good game you all.
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Yes I believe they should resort to beatings with blunt objects at this juncture
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Which makes it exceedingly hard to correct them while being nice
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Not really trolls either.
Johnny Slick started off okay, but soon got obnoxious, and didn’t know he was obnoxious and kept posting obnoxious shit until we got tired of it.
Benne - April 21, 2010
We've worked very hard to create a community here over the past few years
it’s very frustrating to watch people come in and disrespect our rules and customs in gamethreads, which have traditionally been among the best threads on Lookout Landing.
We don’t ask that new posters don’t post – in fact, it’s the opposite. We just want people to post better.
seattlebruin - April 21, 2010
We've had 2ish good ones
Dewey N - April 21, 2010

Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Opening day was alright!
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
I would say Saturday's was good
Mainly because everyone was all over the place
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
3-1 Yankees.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Yes.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Yes!
MsForever - April 21, 2010
Potentially in 1st place at some point after opening day?
This is wonderful.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Now, if Brian Fuentes can channel his inner Brian Fuentes...
Maybe the Tigers can pull one out against the Angels too
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
I LOVE MIGUEL CABRERA
JLC - April 21, 2010
Me too!
I can’t believe they don’t like him in Detroit.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Isn't Fuentes on the DL?
Alto - April 21, 2010
Not unless Cabrera just sent him there
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
He was on the 15-day recently
Was eligible to come off today
JLC - April 21, 2010
Okay, that's what I thought. Welcome back Fuentes! Keep doing what you just did!
Alto - April 21, 2010
So I see from reading the postgame comments that my presence in today's gamethread was sorely missed
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Way to screw the pooch
JLC - April 21, 2010
Once I realized NY is in the blackout restriction area I bitched out and just listened to the audio while working on my thesis
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
What is the thesis of your thesis?
msb - April 21, 2010
I was going to answer this
Then I realized it could be a wedge that opens the door to a politics/religion subthread
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Okiedoke.
msb - April 21, 2010
"The Air Force and You: How to be a nancy boy"
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Well generally a thesis has to be somewhat debateable
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
I'm sure there's more than one way to be unneeded
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Touche
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash: the more the Navy changes, the more it stays the same.

Fett42 - April 21, 2010
You are nothing without being able to mock me.
Robert - April 21, 2010
I probably have a higher rec/comment ration on non-Robert mocking comments
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Vomit on anybody lately?
Robert - April 21, 2010
Not that I recall!
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
So have you had any good soda lately???
the other side - April 21, 2010
I don't miss soda in the least.
Robert - April 21, 2010
It really is freakin terrible for you.
the other side - April 21, 2010
A's broadcast is flipping the fuck out over the fact that Jeter very obviously went around for strike 3 on back to back pitches, but neither were called.
The 2nd lead to a walk,
Goose - April 21, 2010
I don't get why they're still playing.
Does Rivera still actually have to pitch?
the other side - April 21, 2010
Don't they know that Jeter never does anything wrong?
msb - April 21, 2010
That game won't load for me
still, I switched just in time to see Cabrera take Fuentes deep.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
The Tigers have a guy named Don.
I didn’t know there were people under 45 named Don.
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Maybe 30 year old rookies are the exception?
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
I made this observation days ago
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
When we played them and it was topical
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Some of us like to take things slow and draw out the pleasure over multiple days
Matthew - April 21, 2010
;)
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Cabrera homers off of Fuentes, tie game in Anaheim!
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
Angels Tigers TIED
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Miguel Cabrera owed us that one.
Slow Country - April 21, 2010
Fuck three-way ties for first
Now I am feeling greedy
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
I google image searched for "Fuck three-way ties"
NOT RECOMMENDED.
Grady Clapp - April 21, 2010
I'm halfway tempted to try it, now
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Or way totally recommended
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
A small bit of thought before Google searches is always a good thing.
the other side - April 21, 2010
SafeSearch: Off
Life on the edge.
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
I learn something new every time I type in a strange phrase on GIS.
Benne - April 21, 2010
I googled 'K9' (Doctor Who's robot dog) a few days ago
Pretty sure a few of the things I saw were illegal.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Fuentes is losing his job at a remarkable pace
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
As long as the Angels continue
To try and close out games with Brian Fuentes and Fernando Rodney, I will be content
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
I kind of want him to keep his job, but at the same time be terrible
so his option vests
Matthew - April 21, 2010
Luckily Rodney hasn't been much better
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
He can't help it!
Matthew - April 21, 2010
And the Tigers take the lead!
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
YES YES YES
Benne - April 21, 2010
Games finished are counted for losses too
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Brian Fuentes gives me hope.
Slow Country - April 21, 2010
2 OUTS TILL FIRST PLACE!!!!!
Benne - April 21, 2010
I'm massively annoyed at seeing San Diego's and San Francisco's logos next to one another
Bearskin Rugburn - April 21, 2010
Walking Gerald Laird in four pitches is a good way to stay the closer on a playoff contender
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
Pick-off?
Dammit.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Tigers go ahead anyway!
WOOOOOOOOOO!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
4-3 Tigers!
Alto - April 21, 2010
Tigers take the lead!
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
According to gametracker
He golfed the shit outta that pitch.
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Hendrick Sendin sorta looks like a skinny Bucky Jacobson.
Robert - April 21, 2010
Wow
that is just an epic failure on your part
Matthew - April 21, 2010
I am buzzed and the world's worst hockey fan.
Robert - April 21, 2010
Wooooooooow
Robert - April 21, 2010
I think he looks like Ian Snell
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
I think he looks Like Daniel Sedin
zeeehjee - April 21, 2010
This is not the ideal time for Rivera to start showing his age.
Benne - April 21, 2010
Mariano Rivera picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Dammit Mariano, now is not the time.
drblacknwhite - April 21, 2010
"This guy's a cut above as far as stuff goes!"
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
Quit it Mo. Quit it Quit it Quit it.
Goose - April 21, 2010
He will be fine
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
1 more out
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
Dang, but Aaron Boone looks like his dad.
msb - April 21, 2010
I can't BELIEVE I was missing the Angels game.
GO TIGERS!!
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Come on Chavez you're not good any other time,
Now is not the time to start
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Ramontiago! with the go-ahead RBI!
This is, game thread aside, the best night of baseball all week.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 21, 2010
I'm quite enjoying the thread
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Its calmed down since the game ended
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
1 more out!
Benne - April 21, 2010
Nothing could make me happier after a Felix CG than the A's and Angels losing.
JLC - April 21, 2010
And Texas!
BrownL - April 21, 2010
Add Texas losing as well
Scrupio - April 21, 2010
I agree.
This will get me through the off day.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Ah shit I forgot about that.
the other side - April 21, 2010
Not a Hawks fan I take it.
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
I live in Atlanta.
Yet don’t care about the Hawks.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Although, Braves playing the Phillies.
So technically not an off day for me.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
I think he meant Seahawks.
And was referring to the draft tomorrow. Maybe?
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
Hah. Yeah, I don't care about the NFL. At all.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Could've been the Blackhawks too
bit more of a stretch, that one.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
First time abbreviating "Seahawks" has backfired.
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
Don't care about the NFL.
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Wow I forgot about the draft.
Pete is kinda ruining it for me.
the other side - April 21, 2010
How so?
wyte_lightning - April 21, 2010
I feel your threshold for maximum happiness is below average
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
A's down.
Angels to go.
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
WOOOOOOOO FIRST PLACE
Benne - April 21, 2010
First place!
Goose - April 21, 2010
IN PLAY, OUT(S)!!!
Karma Police - April 21, 2010
I love this line
EequalsMc2 - April 21, 2010
It seems to me there was no probability of more than 1 out on that play
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Beautiful word(s)
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
I regret saying one of my complaints about LL was people can be hard on the newbies.
The Mods’ patience must be worn out by now.
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Jeff showed remarkable patience in the 9-7 Chart thread.
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Jeff is a softie
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
I'm about to stop trying
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
First place wooo
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
FIRST PLACE! YEEAH!
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Yay first place!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Come on Valverde you crazy bastard.
Goose - April 21, 2010
Ok Tigers put down the Angels.
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
First Place, doesn't get any better than that. Thank you, FELIX!
TrustBaseball - April 21, 2010
If that's an 84 MPH fastball oh dear.
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
I really hope pitchfx is off
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Well now it just registered a 94 MPH fastball
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
It has to be calling the other pitch wrong
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Well now it just jumped back to a 84 MPH fastball.
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Pf/x must be off
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Just got shut off
The movement on the 84 mph pitches was way different than the 94 mph pitch, too
Brian Floyd - April 21, 2010
Kendry Morales looks like someone who should get killed ealy on in a spaghetti western
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
*early
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Good call
DrunkAmerican - April 21, 2010
I want a gif with sound
“I am the vinner”
msb - April 21, 2010
Two outs!
Alto - April 21, 2010
One more!!
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
So I heard were in first place
Punkhazard - April 21, 2010
Tigers Win!
ThundaPC - April 21, 2010
Angels lose!
Goose - April 21, 2010
FUCK ERIC BYRNES!
yessirrr - April 21, 2010
Mariners are the only AL West team to have won today!
I love it when that happens!
Eyeball Kid - April 21, 2010
Suck it, rest of the AL West!
Alto - April 21, 2010
I couldn't be happier!
JLC - April 21, 2010
WE'RE ON TOP!
Slurvey - April 21, 2010
Well its about time to be hitting the old sleepy time
Stay classy, LL.
Fett42 - April 21, 2010
Angels lose. First place in late April, minus Cliff Lee, with the White Sox and Royals coming up
How fucking sweet is that?
OlSalty - April 21, 2010
Very.
Very fucking sweet I’d say.
ScottBrowne - April 21, 2010
Pretty fucking sweet
cwel87 - April 21, 2010
I am scared to believe big
But I’m starting to become more comfortable with the idea.
JLC - April 21, 2010
It is as close to being the best case scenario as any fan thought possible
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
I LOVE YOU TIGERS!
E-Lizz - April 21, 2010
Nothing like sucking against us, then beating our division rivals...
Allen Wu - April 21, 2010
Beautiful
Only 53 more Games Finished until Fuentes option kicks in. Oh, how I wish Matt Capps were a free agent next year so the Angels could make the same mistake every off season!
Trenchtown - April 21, 2010
Hey assholes
post better
Jeff Sullivan - April 21, 2010
Yessir.
msb - April 21, 2010
No can do boss
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
I'm going to ask Poochie before I do anything.
Robert - April 21, 2010
There has been a correlation between Poochie's presence and the goodness of gamethreads
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Should have gotten him neutered
Robert - April 21, 2010
I could try to fill in for him but I don't know if it would work
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
I always imagined ac as his eventual replacement
Robert - April 21, 2010
Cheep cheep
Dewey N - April 21, 2010
Loser
