Jose Lopez makes that play!
Is he ever!
Get that booty Ian
Yayyyy Tui!!!

….

Tui at 3B, Lopez at DH

No sir, I don’t like it.

So why IS Tui playing 3rd and Lopez DH?
Mental break
Some would call it a mental nap
Because Mexicans are sleepy
Or you could call it mental rejuvenation time.
His bat didn't get enough REM cycles over the off season.
Our manager is an idiot?
To help Lopez get his "swing" back?
Dangit. I hate when you change threads while I'm typing.
Strasburg: 6 innings, no hits, 1 walk, 7 k.
Maybe it's time to try him against big boys?
The Nationals play in the NL
THANK YOU ANGEL

But yet again, ROBOTS

Didn't you say Tui was good within the last day and a half?
Not in the field he didn't.

He also used the qulifier ‘AAA’

Josh Wilson throws like a girl
Ian bailed out Tui there
Josh Wilson looks like he's about to airmail all of his throws.
It scares the poop out of me
RYE.

Residual Yuni Effect.

Snell didn't throw a pithc in the strikezone that entire AB.
That's how badass he is
Over halfway through the game and now MLBTV says I'm blacked out.

Uhhhh….

I'm starting to think we need a dedicated fanPost for people to post their MLB.tv related comments in.
My mlb.tv works like a charm or I don't watch the game and leave my computer!
Novel concept
This is a good idea.
Yes because that way nobody would have to read about mlb.tv comments if they didn't want to
OH MY GOD IT'S BUGGY
I had to submit my CC for some reason

To get it to work again (not for this game since I’m in Ms viewing area but for others).

Solid job Matt

Sweendawgesque.
Is it official then?

We add -dawg to the end of the names of our bad players?

I thought it was just Griffey and Sweeney.
6 pitches too many.
Come on Chone, fucking get a hit this time
Lets go CHONEDAWG!
Or just get on base somehow, anyhow
Angel Hernandez is a fucking knob.
With the best vision EVAR
SO CLOSE CHONE
SAFE!

What the fuck, Angel Hernandez?

WHAT?!??!?!?

OUT?

He looked safe
Arrgh

Damn it Chone.

Fucking Hernandez must have a bet on this game.
Good call, actually.
Looked out to me there
Hard to tell where the foot is on the bag
On furhter review

Yeah, good call.

What the fuck is a skoshe?
It's like a smidge.
Give me a second

http://lmgtfy.com/

You're supposed to actually google it for him
And then give him the link of that
That's not how we do it in the past
Post-date confirms.

He is in the past.

You're part of the past now?
Fun experiments!
Tike whore
I'm back now

Just had to get a new swing

I like shopping in history
Sure is cheap!
As cheap as it gets!
It really skeeves me out to see all the white people around though
That's why I'm okay with just taking their shit
You down with OPP?
What a bunch of faggots
Or as they say in the not future

What a bunch of faggots

Huh, Urbandictionary confirms my first thought.
Well the groundballs seem to be back for Kotchman.
Is it too obvious that his name is Angel?
Stop hitting these weak little grounders
If I am remembering correctly, we have been shut down by Bergesen before?
Has Chone been really unlucky?

Will I find that information here?

I hate having professional hitters who can't square up 88 mph fastballs down the heart of the plate
Really putting on a hitting display out there.
Kotchman has gone back to hitting groundballs.

When he was hitting the ball hard he was hitting line drives. I was hopeful but I’m losing faith in his “renaissance” or whatever.

Exactly what does Junior have left to do?
Win a World Series?
Whatever it is, it has to be done at Safeco Field.
Stick around for his bobblehead nights.
I would make a napping joke if it wasn't already a dead meme.
Didn't stop me.

Then again, I suck.

I don't remember who it was that came up with it

But I’m all for that Griffey Napping in a Chair bobblehead.

Would you roadtrip for it?
I would..

But I’m afraid I’d fall asleep at the wheel!

Nap at every ballpark in the majors.

Still hasn’t gotten the new one in Minnesota.

70 pitches... CGSO on the way for Bad Bergesen
According to a rudimentary guess of the strike zone,

Ian Snell has thrown 9 of his 33 pitches in the zone

He seems like he's getting enough swinging strikes though
It never fails to astonish me how bad pitchers are at throwing strikes and how unwilling batters are to take balls.
Time to watch hockey!
I hate every team left.
I enjoy the idea of Pittsburgh losing here
That would be nice, I admit.
So, did you know the AL East is a tough division?

I just gleaned this astonishing insight from Sims and Blowers.

DAMN YOU ALONZO POWELL
What the hell was Scott waiting for?
Good deke by Ichiro it looked like.
Probably thought it was a foul or HR

Scott is lazy and didn’t want to run if he didn’t have to.

Yeah, I don't understand why he didn't score.
The Orioles announcers just drew a penis on the screen
Purposefully?
Fully erect or limp?
They've got to entertain themselves somehow.
Look for it on Deadspin tomorrow
I don't read Deadspin
It's been shit ever since Leitch left.
What about meatspin?
I live for dat shit
shit's crazy
You're lucky the Marauder isn't around to see this
...

This is bad.

We are going to lose to the Orioles.
Who's the guy wearin a batting helmet in the dugout next to Wak?

Is he a bodyguard?

I now have no excuse not to study for finals.
Seriously, Brad Fucking Bergesen???
Ian Snell for the starting rotation!
So Ian Snell isn't that good.
I guess I'll watch something else
Sean White's warming up

Now sounds like a good idea

Can we start rooting for the Rays yet?
Go Nats!
Their rotation is hilarious

But somehow good?

I honestly have no idea.

But Ryan Zimmerman is awesome and I imagine it’s hilarious watching Adam Dunn play the field. Also STRASBURG.

The Rays are awful
They had a perfect game thrown against them. They blow.
I mean to root for
You know who is awesome to root for? The Padres!
I can never root for our rivals.

I hate them so.

I got stuck on them winter 2008, before they were good.

I’ve had Longoria mancrush, and Joe Maddon is my friend’s uncle.

I loved them too, then they got too good and popular and I am as white as cocaine
Does this mean you're gonna stop loving Franklin soon?
5.5 games back
Sean White!

Game punted!

I would like Markakis
Yesterday's closed captioning referred to him as 'More Cake Us'

Either way, we come out ahead.

That was actually the joke
h/t Last Fan Of Jose Lopez
Oh well fuck me
You know I tried to get back into that account because I thought whoever was using it would keep it unbanned but that person was smarter than that
This person sounds like a real pro
A real gay ass pro
We need another punning thread. That was fun last time.
No we don't
I mean yes we do but not one that's open to the public
It should contain just Jeff, Fogel and Gomez.
NO WE DON'T
This is poop.
Snell and RRS have very different approaches to produce an underwhelming outing.
Time to start looking for a decent picture to put Willie Harris in, I think.
I have a new song idea for RRS girl
GODDAMMIT WHY WEREN'T YOU TRADED?
Dave: Did you like those uniforms Mike?

Mike: Which ones?
Dave: (The ones I’ve been talking about for the last 5 minutes.) Green ones!

Tui sucks so damn hard.
Maybe he should be a professional vaccuum.
NOT A SWING!
Look at the bright side

if we are going to score 5 runs in 3 innings on anyone, it’s going to be the Orioles.

It took me 3 innings to realize that I didn't have the sound on.

Mariners Baseball-Believe Big!

Maybe if we work his count we can get their ace out of the game and get to face the relievers
Josh Wilson is a fucknut
But almost cycle!
#5 web gem last night!
Boy it's a good thing Jack Wilson had to go on the DL so we could keep Josh in the lineup.
Jack Wilson put himself on the DL
Of course the day we decide Josh Wilson is OK sort of long term...

Is the day he gets back to sucking.

Hmm. Sean White.
Oh good here's Sean White to save the day.
I fully expected Tui to throw that someplace not near Kotchman's glove
Tui should try being that good all the time.
Have we lost this bitch yet?
All of this typing is disturbing my nap.
BRAD FUCKING BERGESEN
Griffey must be having nightmares.
Oh my god a strikeout!
This game blows.
This season kinda blows.
That is Sean White's second strikeout this season
This entire season
He misses a lot of bats.
But pitches to contact when there's 2 strikes
Perhaps I should have added a "Sarcasm Alert!"
Jesus Christ.
You are getting at something.
Real numbers?
So since it's may 12...

The fucking moon goes through an entire lunar cycle faster than Sean White gets strikeouts.

Only two more than Jamie Burke!
Can we take Luke Scott with us to Tampa Bay?
His .282 wOBA is so shiny!
Do what Dave tells you to do!
You make fun of him, but how many Mariners have better than a .282 wOBA?
How many Mariners do I want to take to Tampa Bay?

>:(

More than 2 = many
7

I drink the punch

Well in minimal playing time

He’s an upgrade right now over Sweeney, Griffey, Lopez, and Wilson and probably some of the other guys playing over their heads.

No.

You may have Tui.

Wigginton's out

aw shit there goes our chance

Adam Moore sucks
He's taking the Michael Saunders path to success
He isn't nearly as cute
He also actually sucks
He looks thuglicious in his gameday pic
Adam Moore looks like a pile of crap
11 in a row retired.

Fucking A

What the hell, Adam?

That was just a lost swing.

Give us a bright spot, Saunders.

That wasn’t what I meant.

Goddamn we're being three-hit by Brad fuckin Bergesen
This has been mentioned.
THAT'S GONNA BE OUR SPARK
I can't even remember if it was
I remember that I stopped watching immediately after
This game's mighty silly
Over/under on # of times the M's will be shut out this year

I’m gonna say 32

That's a little high.
Yeah you're right

We only have 4 so far. Ok lets set over/under at 15.

I'll still take the under.
You're forgetting Sweendog's 9th inning RBI's
I'll take the under.
Ooh a steal. That was...nice.
I like how Ichiro didn't steal as much last year so this year he's making up for it
Dave didn't like that steal.

“I don’t know WHY he would steal that base…”

A run!

A Figgy hit! RBI!

Not a shut out bitches.
IN PLAY, RUNS SCORED.
When you see those in Gameday it almost feels like Christmas!
See those words.
Oh that's what you meant
I thought he was talking about his hover trees
I just wanted to clarify. Because you never know.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALL OF CHONE'S HITS ARE FUCKING POPUPS

NOW I REMEMBER

I don't know how he got air under that ball
This is where the Orioles completely implode, right
I remember when being four hit actually meant something.
Figgins with the stylish RBI!
RUN MOTHERFUCKER!

WHOO! THATS RIGHT! UNSTOPPABLE BABY!

Unstoppable.

Ichiro Suzuki is.

FIGGY FIGGY FIGGY

OI OI OI

Trembley is getting booed
I'm sure he's used to it
Yeah! We totally chased him
That Ichiro stolen base got into his head.
Gotta love seeing a doily.
I'd love seeing back-to-back-to-back home runs if it meant a win.
Will Ohman has been good this year
Luckily, Ohman is bad.
So is Brad Bergesen!
So, Runs: Mariners :: Water: Fremen.
TAAAAAAAAAAAKE

You can’t hit lefties!

All Mariners players are assholes
Kotchman just gave you the finger.
Man your memory sure is bad
I always mix up my memories with my dreams
I always mix up my memories with my bread
I get carpal tunnel from countin all this bread
Winnable, this game is.
KOTCHDAWG!
Life?!

Oh, Loafie.

Here comes the ralley killer
Lopez

You need a homerun already

He has one.
oops

forgot about the whitesox grandslam

NECESSARY PITCHING CHANGES
Gotta give the fans their money's worth
Oh shit, Koji Uehara.
Hey, our cleanup hitter is up in an RBI situaton! Yeah!
Ohman, that didn't last long.
I love it when something good happens...

… and then about 5 seconds later, 10 people just post the last name of the guy with an exclamation point!

Is your mom a dead meme?
My mom is dead
That's why it's a dead meme
Thats harsh dude.
You wish
I was just trying to end the subthread
Now look what you've done
My mother is very much alive
Last time I checked
Upstairs
Yeah but it's like die already

right?

I traveled to the part of the future where she's dead and it was worse
I traveled to the future and found out my mom was immortal!
She brought you some delicious pepperoni Hotpockets like 10 minutes ago.

Although you probably should have removed your hand from your trousers before she walked downstairs. That was awkward.

I'm thinking that at this point it's stuck there, like when fat people never get off their couches
You're probably right. Bloggers. Heh.
It's really sticky in there
I keep telling you it's not Elmer's Lube.
I've only been here for about a year, but I really hope it was never alive
Incoming Griffey pinch hit.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hopefully we can see a Guti pinch hit.
SANDSTORM!
I heard it too awesome.
Loafie sucks.
We should give him a nickname that doesn't make him sound like he sucks.
And see if it reverses the effect?
How about "The Kid?"
Take the first two strikes and then swing at everything.
Koji Uehara is good
And has wicked sideburns
If I was a hitter, I would be distracted by those.
It is a good thing you are not a major league hitter then
Just hit a single, OK?
Incoming strikeout
You look like you need a lighter bat Jose
I think he needs more talent.
Koji is bringing the sideburn heat.

I'm liking all the deep flyballs and line drives yanked foul.
FUCKING TEASE
Get some power, Jose
Damn

At least it was almost out.

Son of a bitch.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
On a normal day, that ball leaves the yard
The 10 rain drops that hit it on it's path knocked it down.
...this is not how it works.
But kind of.
Call me crazy but I think maybe he knows that
You are crazy.
Wow, thanks audience of the Ben Stein show
Like you present-ers have any idea how the world works
Secret cabal of lizard men?
GOD DAMN WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO US.
Damn it Patterson.
Oh shit, a tease
Damnit Dave, don't get so excited!
It was legitimate excitement.
Warning track power!
That play gives me an incredibly disappointing feeling.
I thought that only happened at Safeco.
In Safeco, we have a roof to stop the rain.
Kinda novel concept. You would think it would catch on.
This reminds me of MLB 06 the show

Whenever I’d hit a home run just over the wall Cory Patterson would catch it

Maybe if Loafie wasn't such a pussy...
That was a pretty decent at bat actually.

Didn’t work out but thats ok. Lopez has convinced me again that he might be good.

Another one of our unlucky players this year.

How valuable would he be if he can start hitting again?

He hasn't been unlucky so much as terrible.
20% LD

Check out his BA on GB and FB

He has one home run
So his BABIP on GB and FB mean nothiong?

I thought we already knew his power was fake.

They do mean something

but without power and without walks he is completely awful.

But with Defense?!
I know he isn't going to hit for power or walk.

But how valuable would he be if he could get his wOBA back up to .325?

Pretty valuable, although that would require power and walks
He has done it the past two years without walks.

I don’t know how to calculate his power going completely out though. Something for me to think about while we lose a bunch of games.

Power is wOBAs most important component
And it is doubtful he can hit 25 HRs again.

He certainly has not looked like it so far.

If he's not going to hit for power or walk, he's not going to do that.
Right now? About 1.1 wins so far.
I have to ask

Where did you get that number from?

His current positional adjustment, his current defensive value, his current replacement value, and his approximate batting runs value were he to have a .325 wOBA.
I Gotcha

Thanks

Sometimes that stuff is bad luck.

His approach has been horrible, he has been over or under a ton of pitches, and he hasn’t been hitting much hard.

Hey. What if he is hitting them hard, then where are we
More runs?
What if this is as hard as he can hit.
We should have traded his ass when we had the chance.
YOU HEAR THAT FUKUSHIMA?
I'll make sure he gets the link
How many warning track flyballs have we hit this game?
At least one
I thought Ichiro and Langerhans both had one too but I could be wrong.
"Warning track outs" or "warning track flyballs"?

Warning track outs: 2.
Warning track flyballs: 5.

WEREWOLVES OF LONDON
This is probably the only thing I miss about Raul Ibanez
And they don't play it for him in Philadelphia.

And, as expected, just a year after they thought he was the greatest player in the history of baseball, Philadelphia really really hates Raul. Best fans in sports, and the only thing I hate about living here.

Wak's pitching all the stars of the bullpen tonight.

How are we going to surprise anyone when we are showing off all of our weapons?

Hmm, Colome is out there

It must be “Send out our worst lineup AND worst bullpen possible” day

This game doesn't deserve good relievers
So Colome may be hurt.

Six man bullpen!

Yeah I thought Colome looked like he pulled something

on the strikeout pitch.

Time to send out one of the last JV Mariners, K-Tex time.
At least Kanekoa turned his razor from full-on homelessness to R.A. Dickey.
It's okay, he'll be back in three days...

He’s Jesus!

For a minute there I thought this game was almost over
Possibly the beginning of a new 6-man bullpen?

Who would they call up if it would happen though?

The Banana man?
Josh Fields!
Colome: DFA or DL?
The former.

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

Some one will definitely claim him within 2 seconds of being DFA'd.
D-F-A! D-F-A! D-F-A!
Ian Snell had 0 BBs and 3 Ks

Progress!

What is the Mariner's WPA% at?
Let me fangraphs that for you
And their WE is 1.7%, not sure which you meant
I meant for this game.
Both of them are for this game

I wasn’t sure if you meant WPA or WE – the “%” threw me

It's just my ignorance showing. But yeah I guess I wasn't sure either.
So Griffey and Sweeney aren't in the lineup

and we still got 5 players who are hitting below .200 and a fucking cleanup DH who is hitting .215 with a penchant for grounding out into double plays.
No sir, I don’t like it.

Same poor hitting, I'd rather see Griffey or Sweeney out there than Lopez
This is 100% wrong.
Lopez has a chance of not sucking.

Griffey and Sweeney have no chance of not sucking.

I really doubt Griffey hits a ball to the warning track.
Maybe I expressed it wrong. In a scoring chance, Sweeney gives me more confidence than Lopez does now.
It's ok to believe something with absolutely no proof
I get it, you're the guy that overreacts
One of the many.
Can I be the guy that says "shit's crazy" after everything?
Let me check with the Marauder
YES
Wow shit's totally crazy
Cliff Lee has really blue eyes.
He is so fucking dreamy
I think I love him
He's a goodlooking man.
I could watch him and Guti all day long
Ooooooooh

Cliff Lee…. Good job distracting me FSNW

I never realized it before, but Cliff Lee is looking an awful lot like Raph Fiennes.
Whoa.. he does.
DON'T SAY HIS NAME!
Although holy shit did he marry a child.

That really looks like his daughter.
I posted this originally as a joke, assuming that was his daughter.

Now I’m not sure.

Is he old enough to have a daughter that age?
Nope, that's his wife
It is, in fact, his wife.

Source page. Check the caption!

This was an intelligent thing to post
Let's talk about volcanoes!
Tell me that isn't a horrible head of hair.

Same goes for his kids.

CLIFF LEE IS VOLDEMORT
Cliff Lee has stupid hair.
And gives a really awkward interview.
But I still love him.
He had to answer some really dumb questions.
You shut your whore mouth.
You have stupid hair
Yes I do.

Not as bad as his though.

What is your definition of stupid hair?
You have a stupid face!

You take that back right now!

That's an odd way of spelling "sexy"
You'll think differently once you run your fingers through it a few times
Mmmmm now we're speaking my language
What was the Cliff Lee interview?

I’m on the Baltimore feed.

"You throw a lot of strikes."

“Yeah, well, we have a defense and stuff, so walks are bad.”
“You throw a lot of first pitch strikes.”
“Yes, I do.”
“How?”
“…”

Investigative journalism at its best.
Cliff Lee basically confirmed to Jen Mueller that he tries not to walk people because walking people is bad and makes the game last longer
If I was a senior and I heard this commercial,

I would stay as far away from SHAG as I could.

YESSS RALLY FRIES
Did something change about Rally Fries in the future?

That you like them now?

Woooooooshhh
They're different in Baltimore.
At least the situation is appropriate
I would like to see the person who came up with Rally Fries take the place of Willie Harris in this photo:

It was Blowers
Love it, but it's actually Nyjer Morgan
Ah shit, really?

That ruins my ‘Ministry of Willie Walks’ pun.

They're basically the same thing...

If you keep saying it’s Willie Harris, people will forget it’s not.

Alright time for the Rainiers to save our asses
"WAKE UP GRIFFEY!"

I LOVE YOU BALTIMORE!

Hilarious.
"Wake up Griffey" chant
This is the best thing Baltimore has done since The Wire.
Was that what they were saying?

I couldn’t tell. But that’s hilarious.

Ahahahaha, brilliant.
Show us your new walk skills Tui!
2-2 to Tui!
Way to not be useless, Tui!
Well hey, 1st and 3rd.
Don't you tease me again, Mariners.
RALLY RALLY RALLY
What is the pitcher's name?
Floji Flappyhara
Flapfredo Flimon
RALLY RALLY THE PITCHERS NAME IS SALLY!
They better PH Guti at some point
Trembley sure is getting a lot of exercise tonight.
Who will replace RRS until Bedard gets back?
I was hoping off days could help, but we don't have one until May 24th.
(sung to the tune of shots by LMFAO)

HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS, HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS HITS

EVERYBODY

They came to my school a few weeks ago.

Just thought that I’d throw that out there.

Where's that Paperboy?


Come on, Josh Wilson!

Please PH for Moore
Griffey on deck.
With Junior!
Oh good Griffey getting loose
Who let him loose?
Throw more pitches like that.
We need some more BBs
Alfredo Simon sounds like a pasta dish
It sounds like a gimmicky pasta dish.
So is California Pizza Kitchen's "Thai Alfredo".

Yet delicious.

That is so damn good.
I love Thai food. I love fettuccine alfredo.

What could possibly go wrong!?

Thai food is amazing. I could seriously eat it every day.
I want to go to Olive Garden and order this.
You want to go to Olive Garden
She's in college.

WE ARE POOR!

Cook for yourself.
Go to Vortex Burger.
Lots of great hole in the walls will be half as expensive as Olive Garden and actually provide awesome food.
Olive Garden isn't that expensive

If I save up for a week, I could definitely go there.

Banh Mi costs like $2
I can think of like 800 places within walking distance of me that are cheaper and better than Olive Garden.

Olive Garden isn’t really even cheap.

That's the crazy part.
Maybe they like the taste of poop.
You demanded that we go there instead of the BJ Brewery as I was insisting
I call bullshit on this.
You don't like anything that tastes like anything but salt
That's not what I was calling bullshit on.

You get winded going to a soccer game so I find it highly dubious that you have a walking range of 800 restaurants.

I had a cold you snotwad
I will give you one million dollars if you go for a walk and return with 800 menus of restaurants that you visited on said walk.
I am 100.00% serious.
There are at least 4,600 restaurants in the greater Seattle area.

Seeing as how I quite routinely walk 4-6 miles recreationally, are you quite certain you would like to keep this offer on the table?

I am confident that you will be unable to complete this task but you people like to destroy the spirits of the bet so much that I don't feel like I can trust you.
Taser?
Taz her? I hardly even know her!
Also salt is delicious and I feel no need to mess with what works.
It would be the irony of fates

If Griffey hit a pinch hit home run right after the “wake up Griffey” chants.

I hope he does, and then crosses home plate flipping off the crowd.

And says he learned it from Milton.

I'm calling a Griff-slam
Which would be quite noteworthy with two runners on.
I was scared that Griffdawg was pinch hitting for Saunders.

That would have made for an upset Kirk.

I'm scared that he's pinch hitting for Moore when Guti is on the bench
Loving the pic of Mrs. Johnson and Bobby boy.
I hope whoever this is hits at least a double, because Junior is GIDP this shit.
Josh Wilson is going to find a way to GIDP.
Josh Wilson inspires no confidence whatsoever
But what a swing!
Other than his massive 3 run jack?
Paperboy's got attitude.
Did nothing to inspire confidence in me
But he's one of the most confident little fuckers ever
Except for that weak chin of his.

http://weirdpicturearchive.com/pics/only-a-burrito.php

Why
Because babies look like burritos
I don't see the relevence but it's pretty damn funny.
Many thanks for the virus that link just gave me.
Wow your anti-virus software sucks dongs
I'm so glad I spent most of this game making a .GIF rather than watching it
I just saw a potential one for later
Does it involve Cliff Lee?
The Texeira spit attempt?
I'm not telling you fuckers
I don't want to spoil this for everyone else but this gif he's planning is hilarious
The anticipation is now killing me.
It's in the meme thread
Aaaaaaaaand rec'd
The meme thread has been keeping me entertained all afternoon.
I'm considering posting something on it that could be considered intolerable horrible to some people
Fuck it, that's part of the reason for the subject line.
Let me get the thread open before you post it
I'm pretty sure I know where you are going with this
Josh Wilson hits a lot of foul balls.

I find this annoying.

Griffey GIDP time
HELL YEAH!

Griffey GIDdyuP time.

Alright!!!
Here comes Griffey, continuing to ruin my childhood!
Swung at ball four?

Although who knows with this ump.

Would have been ball 3
It's Joe West, the guy that complained about the Yankees and Red Sox taking too long.
Time to hit the warehouse!
HECKLE THE FUCK OUTTA HIM
Okay Griffey, time to end the game with a double play

I’m ready for it.

Griffey starts his swing in April to catch up to fastballs.
Griffdawg made sawlid cawntact!
That was an amazing replay
Griffgirth in slow motion!
I think I'd rather have Moore.
I know so.
The think is only because he has been awful so far.
"Junior hits it hard."

It lands less than 50 feet past the cut of the grass. Love it.

It's sad that that looked like a home run
Jr. Sac Fly, eh.
So close to the warehouse.
Woah, that fooled me.

I thought that was crushed.

I've never heard Niehause back off a big call so quickly
Dave's kind of blind now.
Seriously dude, say something positive someday.

Just once, that’s really all I want. One time. Please. For me. For your old pal Libro/CS. I will be your best friend.

I'm positive I'm not posting here to make you happy.
.

Obviously a pessimistic Mariners fan
Feline AIDS is the number one killer of domestic cats.
I thought that was them getting run over.
He did a pretty good job with that one

I’m not buying Neihaus as blind, I think he’s just about as good as ever.

Sweet, productive out
Dear Ken,

When you can’t pull the trigger on breaking balls and can’t get around on fastballs, it’s prolly time.

For some reason the word "prolly" really gets on my nerves

Not quite sure why.

Because it's not a word.
We're in agreement. Griff made me use it.
How is that?
Nothing deep to it. His suck just led me to a non-word I don't care for.
Not the sacrifice I'd like to see him make but it's a start.
I recognize that swing

Too bad I recognize the result too. :(

Griffey just hit the shit out of that ball.

It didn’t make the track. RETIRE YOU INCONSIDERATE OLD UNCLE TOM.

Dude, harsh.
Not nearly harsh enough, if you ask me

Accurate enough, though.

Yeah, we get it Hubert. You hate the dude.
Why is the dugout so fucking retarded?
I think I heard someone say "It's okay, Junior."

No it’s not.

'Way to go, Junior', I thought.
That's even worse.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd naptime.
Now he can finally have his nap.
That actually looked good for a second

Saunders will save us!

Griffey!!!

AWESOME!

Saunders HBP Ichibomb!
A BB wouldve been much better.
Saunders walk, Ichiro game-tying homerun.
Baltimore fans are cheering and smiling!

God dammit!

Darn it!!
That was a good game
Don't swing at ball four Saunders. :(
Nooooooooo!!!!!
Nothing like losing to the Orioles.
Good to know that even the Orioles can beat a Triple A team.
This might sound gay but I really like Michael Saunders' body. He's very lean and well put together.
Yep. Sounded gay.
Especially "well put together,"
How is that anything but gay?
He could be female
I knew I wasn't gay.
If you're trying to say he's as sexy as Guti...

…then you’re just gay and heavily mistaken.

Not gay at all man.
I bet his scrotum is completely wrinkle free
This was a lost game early on.
The Angels lost again
And Oakland's losing right now
Yayy mediocre division!
Season, still redeemable!
I can't fucking believe I have to miss another Felix day
Unless the song player gets fixed you won't miss anything
What do you have better to do?

“School”?

Just a subjective observation

Saunders is no longer getting the bat knocked out of his hands. Hope!

RRS is pretty terrible now.

Hope this was his last start for a while.

I think we all should hope there is a change.

We have to get some decent pitching until Bedard fills that spot.

And what change would that be?

Snell into the rotation? Bring up French and lose one of Snell or RRS on waivers?

It's a tough situation.

All we know is that RRS has been one of the worst starters in the league this year, so it’s hard not to improve on that. It’s just a matter of who is ready and how the roster shakes out.

Alonzo Powell rockin' that pencil 'stache.
