Texeira for closer?
After that one inning...I'm sold!
Kanekoanother inning, please?
Oh I get it. It says can he go another inning please?
What are we waiting for?
This, I think.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUP
Wait for what?
Did Sims just say "Growing up in west Philadelphia"?
God I hope so.
On the playground is where he spent most of his days
Born and raised

On the playground is where I spent most of my days.

Shootin' some B-ball outside of the school.
When a couple of guys making no good

Started making trouble in the neighborhood.

When a couple o' guys, who were up to no good!

Started makin’ trouble in his neighborhood.

He got in one little fight

His mom got scared.

She said

 ’You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air’

And she said "Unfortunately, you don't have an auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."
So you have to hang with the homeys at Chestnut Hills Academy
So maybe Sims is actually Carlton?
Well, he was on an academic scholarship, apparently...
That is where he's from, so likely?
It's a little-known fact that TFPOBA was based on the life and times of Dave Sims.
Wait, what? What are waiting for?
We're supposed to get swept.
I will say it... Adam Moore doesn't look remotely lost at the plate today.
14-10 Toronto
15-10
Holy crap, it's still the 4th inning.
Holy shit that game's crazy.
I was just about to post "Football score" and then Lind's HR happened

High powered offense is high powered

Eh, you know

5 field goals. Or a touchdown, 2 FGs, and a safety.

That is a very silly baseball score.
Wait Toronto is leading now?
Holy crap.
A Vernon Wells grand slam helped their situation.
3-run shot, not a GS

According to gameday

I thought I saw 4 RBIs with 1 hit so I assumed.

But you are probably correct.

How come we didn't go after Harden?

Oh….

Dang it, just posted my Jack Wilson picture with all the ugly bits cropped off
That's a good photoshop job.
Lets go Condor!
Saunders is looking SILLY on those curveballs today
Saunders =(
THEY'RE DOING THE WAVE
They can have it
Six multi-hit games in a row for Ichiro isn't it?
Yes, Rizzs just said so.
Aahahaha

I swear he’s doing it on purpose now

Chone Figgins

In play, out(s) imminent

NOT THIS TIME!
Your time machine is broken... man.
I can feel it

Chone Figgins is going to walk so hard he gets two bases.

We still love you Chone!

Let’s have our love stop being unrequited for a change.

Figgy tried to groundout...
Brumley didn't wave him in?

Shocking!

Figgymania's warming up.
Everything going the M's way.

It’s about time.

Poor Figgy was so sure it was going to be all for naught again

he almost forgot to how to run

Time for some Guti magic
If Franklin gets on, please please please pinch hit Langerhans for him.
Pinch hit for Sweeney, I mean.
Wak using a pinch hitter!?! Unheard of!
He does it all the time!
He only uses pinch huggers!
Pinch hit Bradley.

Nobody will see it coming.

Not even Bradley
Aww franklin....
What is up with Wally Bell ringing up every fucking check swing?

Make the appeal, you dick!

Home plate umpires don't ask for appeals.

That’s the catcher’s job.

Beltre :(
haha nice throwback
In that case, our hitters need to take a page out of Adrian's playbook.

Because good God that was not a swing.

I thought the catcher can ask, but it's up to the home plate umpire to make the appeal?
Perhaps. I'm not entirely sure now.
I think that the catcher has to ask for the appeal

And then the ump can call down to first/third to check it

Yeah, I'm not sure I agreed with that call.
Sad pants.
Well I just got home. Good to see we are winning.

And how the fuck is it 15-10 Toronto in the 5th inning?

Rich Harden!
Awesome.

Fister only went 5? Did he struggle with pitch count or something?

Shitty strike zone, I think he left with 95 pitches or so

3 walks

Good amount of swinging strikes though!

Didn't he only have five?

But they were extra fun, since he struck out Longoria and Crawford.

Yep.

Umpire has had a pretty small zone today, both Fister and Davis were near 100 through 5.

Not for Kanaoke!
Is that Kanekoa + Karaoke?....
I've never actually heard his name pronounced :(
can-uh-koe-uh

Almost sounds like “Can o’ corn uh”

I'd listen to him sing.

Good pitch, if nothing else.

A duet would be nice

I’d love Texeira mic with him.

I bet Texas wins

They love to win!

Still 15-10 through 5.

An inning with no runs? Clearly Texas and Toronto have stopped trying.

I'd be perfectly happy if there was no more scoring for the rest of the game.
Everytime I hear Jaso

I think Jae Seo.

Remember when a groundball up the middle was an automatic hit with a Yuni/Lopez middle infield?
Someone's angry
Suppose Fister has a shot to be an All-Star?

Ichiro will of course get voted in. If the team’s still in last come July, I don’t know if Girardi or whoever’s choice it is (player voting?) would give them two. ’Course, Fister might not still be pitching out of his mind by next month.

I would rather Guti make it than Fister
Long way to go before that happens.
Fister being named an allstar, I wish.

Then maybe we could get something really nice for him. Then again our starting rotation for next year is already pretty barren.

Yeah we need to hold on to all the pitching that we can.

But hey, Pineda!!

This would assume that people outside seattle know who Fister is.
With the almost no hitter his second start(?), he got some exposure.
Yesbut no one is going to remember that
Unless they voted at that game which apparently you can do now!
Managers vote for pitchers
But still, nobody is going to remember that
Isn't it the manager that chooses the pitchers on the all-star team?
Wow, that outside corner's been generous.
I wish we'd gotten to see the spring training Haka.
Great two inning stint for Kanekoa!
Nice to see the long man actually being used in his role.
Feels unusual lately
Now we hope for Shawn Kelley in the 8th.
If it is League I will SHIT my pants.

Not kidding.

In that case I hope it's League

So that I can CALL you a liar.

And what if I really did shit myself?

Then what?

You'd be sitting in your own shit?
Don't act like you never have.
Please stop.

This subthread is awful.

Now I understand your tweet to Nola, BrianL
Unfortunately as do I.
Aaahahahahahaha
Then you should probably put on a new pair of pants.
Hahahaha you shit yourself.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
No thanks.
I kinda hope that League does come out to pitch now
They mentioned on the radio

that he was unavailable today. But you shouldn’t be so worried, he is one of our best relieves who had an unfortunate meltdown.

I agree he is a good reliever, but Wak had already used him 5 times in 6 days.
Ah

I have not been following his recent usage

I love Kanekoa.
Kanekoa coming in and pitching solid is great to see.
I want Sweeney to always swing like that.

One of these times he’ll probably wrench his back.

Happened last year!
Whoa Rich Harden completely blew up
Seems like he's still broken.
What a shame.
All these great guys come out of Oakland

And then…splat! I don’t get it.

Fine by me!
"Mike not happy with himself, he really like the fastball out over the plate"

Which is a very unique thing for a hitter to like

Sweeney is clearly ready to retire.

He already has his pants pulled up to above his belly button and he’s challenging the kids to fight.

What the hell? Where did that come from Sweeney?

I was going to totally agree with this.

Maybe you should shit your pants now
Well... How about that.
Exactly. Don't believe it, and I just saw it
My hat tastes salty.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SWEENDAWG
What in the fuck is with this game?
SWEENDOG!

FORGET GRIFFEY!

Fucking really?
God dammit.

Mike Sweeney, your regular DH.

THE FUCK THE FUCK THE FUCK!
WHAT THE FUCK MARINERS!!!!
Huh. How about that.
SWEENEY BOMBER!
I am so confused.
SWEEN FEVER!
Catch it!
AND THEN DIE!

LIKE TYPHOID!

Oh now you show up

Fair-weather fan.

Fair-weather fans have to work.
I do not believe you.
I was also participating in the gamethread early in this game.

Where were you, hmm?

Sipping gin.
Oooh what kind?
And can I have some, too?
The kind in the blue bottle that is on my counter.
Oh.

the Blue kind.

Useless fact.

a common term for gin in the 1800s was ‘blue ruin’

Sounds about right.
Well, gin was awesome at destroying Britain's social fabric.
.

MRS. EYNSFORD HILL: But it can’t have been right for your father to pour spirits down her throat like that. It might have killed her.

LIZA: Not her. Gin was mother’s milk to her. Besides, he’d poured so much down his own throat that he knew the good of it.

Was it blue then?

That seems weird as I am fairly sure that blue is an artificial color.

I think the cheap stuff got a blue tint when ammonia was introduced into the copper distilling...

I think

Icky.
I believe most of life was icky in the 1700s.
Bombay Sapphire! WHEEEE
Yes the jewels!
Bombay Sapphire is pretty fresh.
Hey what mixes well with that
what doesn't?
Coke!
I could sure use some coke right now.
Me too. Shit, have you been following our game against Toronto?
Juice?
Or hey I could google some mixes.

This is a recent bad habit

God I know.

Google is so hard to quit.

I forget it's there
It's so damn far away.
I actually just use soda.

No HFCS.

Tonic, soda, either with lime or Rose's lime
Tonic has HFCS though.
Huh.

hadn’t thought about that. Have you tried Hansen’s tonic?

No, but I discovered that soda works fine.

Better for better gins, of course.

I don't think this was that terrible.

Basically asking for people’s favorite mixers isn’t being lazy.

An acceptable answer.
Eyebrows was laid back with his mind on his money and his money on his mind.
That's where I was goin!
Over the fence means runs!
Adam Moore and Mike Sweeney homered in the same game.
One of these players is not like the other.
They both look white and unathletic to me.
Both of these players are not like the others

They are both below average right now.

Both on the catching depth chart.
KEEP MIKE SWEENEY!
I know we all hate the Sweendawg

But he’s soooooo much better than Junior.

Tallest midget
What..... Sweeney
What the fuck
Hugs for everyone!
Sweendog is just too good.
I still fucking hate him
dislike*, hate is a strong word
And there's your new DH folks.
Seriously though

If Sweeney can hit at a somewhat respectable level then it’s time to put Griffey on the 60 day DL.

No Blowers. That was not a fastball.
Retire Griffey!
We're going bananas with the dingers lately
AND NOW HE'S NEVER GOING AWAY FUCK
GRIFFEY YOU MUST RETIRE NOW
How much did that clear the fence by?

6 inches?

Enough for CC not to try for it!
Enough for the fan seated there to not try for it

Looked like it almost took that dude’s face off

I wonder if Sweeney can play the infield.
He should be servicable at 1B in an emergency

But his legs might fall off. He played at least one game there last year.

Maybe he could sub for Figgins
Home runs!

Neat.

Spring Training!
That was no bomb but it's much farther than Jr. appears able to do.
He was way out in front too.. That was a solid piece of hitting.
Even worked the count and everyting.
Loafie!

It’s the first inning all over again!

How peculiar
Every run scored today is the result of a home run.
This Game:

I don't understand this and I don't think I want to.

That being said, I laughed.

It's Timmy, the albino lifeguard.
He has a nice utility bike.
That didn't add to my lack of knowledge, but it did create more laughs!
Sweeney stole Byrnes bike.
Was this supposed to be a .gif?
None of you watch enough television.
OK, I just got here. Black is down, up is white?

I guess though we knew Sweeney has more life in his bat vs R or L. Alonzo must be working hard on Adam Moore. Go Alonzo!

Kotchman got walked intentionally, so I say yes.
We've scored 24 runs this week.
6 HRs in two games!
1/3 Sweeney Power!
Just tuned into the game

My first impression is the team’s already better without Rob…

Does today help signify the end of Rob Johnson?
I have a feeling it's going to be awhile on that
Nah. He's still Felix's personal ball dropper.
Shawn Kelley up! Woo!
Bahahaha Kotchman
That was an incredible reaction on his part.
.

Ha ha ha ha

That’s too good.

I had to make it my picture.

I couldn’t help myself.

A little annoyed, are we Kotchman?
Give Langerhans his position!
Flyball! Improvement!
Meanwhile the Boston Bruins blow a 3-0 lead in Game 7 today and lose 4-3.

After also blowing a 3-0 series lead.

WUT!!?! They lost??

Bahahaha!

Thats pretty awesome.
I would love this a lot more if it weren't for Chris Pronger.
Damn when I left the bar it was still 3-1.

Way to choke Boston.

In my head

This makes up for one of the losses in Balitmore.

The last one was unforgivable.
Assuming we actually win this.
Don't assume we've won.

Also, nothing makes up for losing a series to Baltimore.

Like that game where we had a comfortable lead in the eighth inning?
92% WE

Yes, I know what it was in Baltimore, but you have to feel good about this.

Oh I do

but by no means am I counting my chickens.

Or prepare yourself for the inevitable explosion.
SEE?
I should have shut the fuck up
THANKS A LOT
This is the inning.

When it all went so very wrong.

Fuck.

But Moore hit it hard.

At least he hit it hard.
Power surge! I'm breaking out the Arrogant Bastard.


Homeruns! Just like the other teams hit.

That picture is Speedway Stout.

Unless you were talking about Jeff?

You've come so far, grasshopper
Smiles!

My bottle of Judgement Day in the beer fridge agrees!

I just felt like giving this one a reset.

Not a big stout fan myself.

I think that's just Dallas Braden.
Yay!

Appropriate bullpen usage!

Lot of good contact for Moore today.
Seriously! Like I said earlier, he looks completely not lost today!
Maybe now he can play a couple days in a row.
Texiera with his first career Shutdown!
Sweeney's playing like he realized he's already in Florida.
Got to impress his new home crowd, amirite?
Ok? Kotchman?

Just kind’ve fell on the ball.

He had to range for that.
Not an easy play.
Cmon quick ground ball!
AWW DONGCHUGGERS
Well... This looks familiar.
Fuck.

That is all.

The nightmare begins.
Yeah fucking right
Well thank goodness Sweeney got that extra run for us, right guys?
Predictable
It appears that Evan Longoria's first name has become "The Dangerous"
Mariners bullpen!
Annndddd here we go
Evan Longoria is pretty good at baseball.
This'll make Aardsma fun should it come to that.
Yeah, you always want him to have a cushion.
That's just super.
Yeah don't throw that pitch there
Aaaaaaaand that is probably why

Assballs

WHY CANT WE JUST COAST TO A FUCKING VICTORY?
Man do I enjoy 8th innings.
Well.......Jesus.

What the fuck are they gonna do to us today?

Z should wheel Griffdawg to his home.
Clearly, our best releivers are taking turns blowing leads.
Warming up DA quickly... Interesting - When was the last time Aardsma was brought in for a more than 3 out save?
I don't remember it ever happening

JJ did it quite frequently though.

I miss JJ's 4 out saves
Onto the cockwagon.

At least there's no chance Pena will hit one out.
There are about 4 of those Longoria comments that were amusing and added to this thread.
That actually seems like a relatively high number
I laughed at yours.
We're not all writers.

Let the people have their GTE.

Just have to say

This fucking team

This must be what Matthew was talking about when he said "Wait for it..."
From the future!!!
The DA will cross examine them tears and (hopefully) warning track flyouts.
JUST HOLD ON, MARINERS!

You can see his butt.

Tee hee.

Been there
Man our Dinger Pythag is just terrible
SIT DOWN, PENA
HUGE out... Cmon - one more!
BJ Upton comes out to Soulja Boy

Please strike him out Shawn

You Tell'Em!
Hop up out tha bedddddd....
Ahhhh I see what ya did there....
Bendy things
Any word on Keley being a possibe starter next year?

They were tinkering with him in ST, trying to stretch his arm out.

We already have enough back-end starters next year, I think.
I don't think so.

I imagine that start in ST was just in an effort to stretch him out as a long reliever.

SHAWN KELLEY YOU SEXY BASTARD
I kinda thought the HR was a given.

So the KK was nice.

Kelley time!
You know that wasn't too bad of an inning for him.
Aside from the Longoria bomb, the pen has done a phenomenal job today.
GOD I FUCKING HATE THIS RADIO AD
THIS IS THE WORST AD I'VE EVER HEARD ON ANY RADIO STATION EVER
Which one is it?
I'M NOT GOING TO GO CRAZY AND MURDER EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR ARROWHEAD GARDENS
NOPE
NOT VERY LIKELY
888 450 SHAG!!!!
GOD I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL
WHY DOES THE PHONE NUMBER FOR AN OLD FOLKS' HOME HAVE THE WORD SHAG IN IT?!
THIS IS NOT A MENTAL IMAGE I WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH PRUNEY OLD DUDES
HEY HONEY
YES DEAR?!
WHERE SHOULD WE SEND DAD TO FESTER AWAY AND DIE?!
HOW ABOUT THE HOME FOR OLD PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO FUCK A LOT??
SWELL IDEA, DEAR!

WHAT WAS THAT PHONE NUMBER AGAIN?

THANK YOU I WAS WONDERING THAT
THANK YOU I WAS WONDERING THAT
Senior Housing Assistance Group

It’s like South Lake Union Trolley, just unfortunate initials.

Did they ever change it back to the slut?
No

But they should!

Especially when they extend it to Ballard.

Then we can all ride a Ballard slut.

Perhaps they are trying to attract people who really enjoy shag carpeting
Which one?
Boy the Seattle Mariners almost Boston Bruins'd that inning.
Bacon cheeseburger ad makes me want a bacon cheeseburger
Rut Roh Saunders v a Lefty
Well right idea, not so great execution.
Well.. he tried to beat the shift.
STOP BUNTING YOU FUCKERS
They've been using a extreme shift on him all game.

Made sense to drop one to third.

That was awful
Good idea......
Good idea

Terrible execution.
:(

Usually he's good for that

Laid down several perfect ones last year.

Yeah I think they accounted for half of his hits last year.

It seemed like it, anyways.

Michael Saunders seems to forget that he can actually hit now.
Oof not so good Condor.
Ichiro is hilarious and I would like to see him steal second.
I'd be okay with that I guess.
That works as well.
Ichiro is hot
Ichiro is really taking aim at the pitchers today.

Twice now the pitcher deflecting the ball has resulted in an INF hit.

If my last name was Choate, I'd change it.
So Ichiro is the absolute king of the bitch hits
How about another one of those Choate?
How about two more?
The first two balls to Ichiro were of the same ilk.
Bring in that doily!
Two more wild pitches and we've got a run.

Let’s do this.

Hit a single Chone.
5 bucks says Figgins does something boring.
I want to nickname him "Figglet."
Too bad Tigger is already off the team.
I love it but I don't understand it.
I'm going with Winnie the Pooh's best friend Piglet as the inspiration.
There's no Winnie the Pooh in England?

Seems odd.

I was never much of a fan.
He's weak, he's tiny, he's not funy.

Ah, I see

I was thinking of Twiglets for some reason.

We don't really have those here.
Lucky you

Horrible things.

However, if you watch the UK Whose Line Is It Anyway? you know all about them.
Mock The Week helps with references as well.
Mock the Week airs in the US?
Youtube!
Thank the sweet lord for Frankie Boyle.
He wasn't in the latest series

I guess he decided that people would get tired of a joke if they heard it 5 times. I swear he hasn’t written any new material in like a decade.

Did you know that Scottish people are drunks and say "cunt" a lot?
You forgot that they are fat.
His censored jokes are the most amazing things ever.
As I understand it, they also wear skirts.
And they're all ugly!

Was the fact that they’re all drunks already mentioned?

I di know that!

It’s not that I dislike him, quite the opposite, in fact. I could never buy a DVD of his though.

He over-offended someone and decided to leave before he was censored.
Really? That seems odd considering they cut jokes all the time

and they have a couple of ‘too hot for TV’ DVDs out.

Those are the best part.

20 minutes of anal lube jokes.

Mock the Week is amazing and I wish there was some way to watch it that wasn't Youtube
Me too as they cut them off in the middle of a sentence.
Was that show originally English or American?
Started in the UK.
Thought so

I see every episode is available on 4od, I might start watching it again.

Pigglet from Winnie The Pooh.
I'm on board with this
Me too, but it reminds me of an off-color joke.
So you're prefer his nickname be more black?
This is as close as can be considered comfortable.
I'm not familiar with this off-color joke
Do tell
The NAACP wouldn't care for it.
How about the NAAWP?
And I'm nothing if not sensitive.
Make the joke jewey.
I'll tell you in the car on the way to Sourfest.
I approve of this plan.
What qualifies as boring?
That does.
That was irritating

I’d say that strikeout captured my attention

I'd say that was pretty boring.
Chone vs. Choate

Interesting names ahoy!

His real name is Desmond!

I would’ve kept that. Sounds regal.

Lord Desmond Figgins.

Is Wade Davis gonna to have to Choate a bitch?
SWING THE BAT CHONE!
That ball was

way inside.

With that horizontal break...

It may actually catch the plate before it gets to the glove. Tough to say.

In other words... SWING!
That wasn't a "productive" out.
That wasn't a strike either
He would have walked if he threw balls.

Its called a bat Chone, use it.

I would really like one of those fabled "Easy Outings" for Aardsma.
Yes, Mike.

Franklin likes the ball out over the plate. Just like every other hitter.

It know it must have been said a million times already...

But I find this new pitcher’s name ironic

It's especially ironic now....

:(

All I wan't is to not be swept by the Rays.
I can't watch

the bottom of the ninth.

HAVE A MORE CONSISTENT STRIKE ZONE DICKFACE
Nice pitch there for the K
So half the game there is no strike zone and then the second half it's 4 inches on either side!?

COME THE FUCK ON!

So frustrating.

Protect the PLATE!

What the fuck was that?!

Robots anyone?

Aortic rupture time.
Man I hope Aardsma gets that pitch
Let's hope Aardsma gets that strike.
Please David. Please!
With Aardsma coming in I am fully prepared to lose this game.
WIll we win?
We just don't know
Its so hard to say!
Outlook hazy; try again later.
Aardsma in!

Extras imminent!

Losing this game would suck since one of those runs we gave up came on a balk.
Looks like I haven't missed much!
Not much EXCEPT FOR CLIFF LEE GETTING A PINCH HIT SINGLE
Oh shush you.
OH MAN THAT WAS SO AWESOME
You boys are so, so cruel.
Abender's is even better!
I liked the part where he sang at the 7th inning stretch and just stared into the camera with his blue eyes.
ENOUGH.
You areeeeeeeee

My fireeeeeeeee.

MY ONE

DEEESIIIIRE

You two are freaking me out.
BELIEVE WHEN I SAY

THAT I WANT IT THAT WAY.

BUT WE ARE TWO WORLDS APART
CAN'T REACH THROUGH YOUR HEART.
WHEN YOU SAY.

THAT I WANT IT THAT WAY

TELL ME WHY
AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHE
AIN'T NOTHING BUT A MISTAKE, TELL ME WHY
I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY...
I think I am glad I don;t know what this is.
Backstreet's back, alright!

One of the classic songs from the boy band generation is what it is.

We'll see how good Eyebrows is.

You are…

YOU ARE

YOOOUU AAAARREE

DON’T WANNA HEAR YOU…

AINT NOTTHINNNNGGG BUT A HEART BREAK
Whoops. Whatever. I've weirded myself out anyway.
No that's right.

It’s where they break and then they come back with that line.

I think it's heart ache. I know the sequence but boffed the words.
That was my thought as well.
You could just look up in this thread and find out the answer.
Way to play into my hands, boys.
Denying that I know this song very very well would just be lying to myself.
I own this album
I'm on Team Backstreet
Was there ever any doubt?
Girls like N'Sync

And this is why they can never be the dominant gender.

I wish I ddi
I'll sell it to you.
For one dollar?
This is a valuable artifact.

It would have to be $2.

I will consider it.
AIN'T NOTHING BUT A MISTAKE
Dude I sang this at my prom.

Don’t need to prove anything.

You must have really enjoyed the reach around in your vest.
Best karaoke song ever.
ROOOOOOOOOAR!!
So if Fister had let the ball fall out of his hand when his foot slipped, it wouldn't have been a balk?
That's probably true.
Dropping the ball would also be a balk, he would have had to make an actual throw to the plate.
When was the last time David Aardsma managed to close out the 9th?
June 25th, 2009
He hasn't blown a save in a state bordering the Atlantic all year.

Why worry?

Orioles?
He never pitched.
Meant the 1st time we faced the Orioles

And I was right! 4/20 is the last time Aardsma closed it out.

Alright everyone hold onto your butts
God, I'm loving this stikezone map at Brooks.
This is going to be hard to watch.
Hey look, a deep fly ball
Deep Flyout

We’re back to normal!

Heyyyy he is getting that call too!
Good, I guess it was a good idea to listen to the 9th with my rosary
At least DA's getting them calls too
Bahaha look at this strike zone!
Oh for the love of God just get one more.
Hold your breath!
Really Blowers? Quality closers can locate their pitches? Never woulda guessed.
Ahhhhhhhh hardest

out coming up.

OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE
What the hell is a breaking ball/splitter doing all the way up there.
Got-eem!

Two down!

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHER FUCKING RAYS IN THIS MOTHER FUCKING GAME.
Please stop throwing fastballs down the middle, Aardsma.
I'm with you
That's what he does...

It’s like telling Byrnes to stop hitting pop flies

I mean...

Keep getting lucky Aardsma! Yeah, because that will work out well.

IS THIS GOOD AARDSMA, FINALLY?!?
Even good Aardsma can still be scary Aardsma
Don't

jinx it.

BENDY THING!
Scared to death of a walk right now.
Did they finally give Dave a pitch fx monitor?
Strike him out!!!
Please DO NOT walk him.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING REID.

Jesus.

woooooooh

yeahhhhh party.

...Did we?

We did, didn’t we?

Jesus fuck get this guy, DA
YYYYYEEEESSSS!!!!
HOLY SHIT WE DID IT!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yippe ki yay motherfuckers!
DID WE REALLY WIN?!
IS THIS REAL LIFE?!!
We're going to sweep the Rays!
WE BEAT THE RAYS
Why the hell does Mike Sweeney have dirt all over his jersey?
That's not dirt
HE'S FRISKYYYYYYY
In a good way ;)
He stole third in the first inning with a head first slide.
You can't be serious
It was right after he almost got picked off twice.
Slid into home after his dinger.
SLID INTO THIRD
He stole 3rd in the 1st inning!
He bleeds it
This one is the correct answer.
He made an excellent play at first in the second inning

Web Gem of the Year

Time to watch Texas
16-10 how ridiculous.

Wonder what its like.

So does winning tonight make up for losing yesterday?
No it really does not.
SIT THE FUCK DOWN
yay! we won against a good team finally!
Time to sweep.
And now we've already won one more game in this series than I thought we would.
The Rays had a lot of silly swings today.
WINS DAMMIT!!!

Texas loss and

only 5.5 out!!!

GOD SHUT THE FUCK SWEENEY
GRIFFEY IS NOT THE REASON YOU WON TODAY

GRIFFEY NOT PLAYING IS A LARGE FACTOR IN YOU WINNING

YOU ARE A PETULANT LITTLE SIX YEAR OLD IN AN OLD MAN'S BODY
Isn;t that most athletes?
It's all about the love for Griffey.

Yep, that’s where the dingers came from, Mike.

WELL GEE IF THATS TRUE YOU SHOULD SEND A FRUIT BASKET TO LARRY LARUE

BECAUSE APPARENTLY YOU FUCKERS WEREN’T LOVING GRIFFEY ENOUGH BEFORE

MY GOD YOU ARE SUCH AN ANNOYING FUCK
But...but his dinger, Brian? How can you not love him now?
EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS GODDAMN PIEHOLE HE SAYS SOMETHING MORONIC
Sweeney...

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

WHAT SWEENEY!?!
MIKE SWEENEY FUCK OFF.
WHAT?

“It comes from our love for Ken Griffey Jr.”

What the fuck does that even mean???
I think its obvious ;).
WOW.

Thats so awesome.

THAT'S where all Griffey's power has gone...
He loves Junior!
Sweeney sounds different than I thought he would.
Oh my god Mike Sweeney is a television evangelist.
SHUT YOUR FUCKING FACE
I HATE YOU MORE THAN EVER. MY GOD
I want him to fight whoever is interviewing him.

RIGHT. NOW.

HOLY SHIT!

Mike Sweeney bringing the CRAZY in the post-game interview.

Are you guys hearing this Sweeney interview!?!?!?!

The homeruns came from Griffey

We're going to have to put Griffey on the DL.
What the fuck Sweeney...
It comes from our love of Ken Griffey Jr.

I.
I don’t know what to say.

Sweeney just credited Griffey for the recent burst of power.
Wow. Seriously Mike?
Sweendawg sticking up for Griffdawg again

All the good he did in this game has been quickly forgotten.

The font on this needs to be biggered by 10x.
For a split second I thought I liked Sweeney.

But now fuck that guy.

Sweeney goes to a church about a mile from where I live

This is no act…

Does he want to fight the people using the confessional?
What the fuck.

Mike Sweeney chokes back tears as he declares that the team gets its power from Griffey. As if I needed another reason to despise that idiot.

IF YOU DFA GRIFFEY THE ENTIRE TEAM WILL HOMER EVERY GAME
Apparently they won one for the Gipper.

What a ridiculous interview.

So wait, did something happen with Griffey?

I read that post from Baker that said that Z talked to him. Soooo…

MR PICKLES ISN'T WEARING A WIRE YOU DUMBFUCK

GOD

I fucking hate that commercial.
Obviously you haven't realized that Mr. Pickles is the leader of the Cat Revolution

in Cats Vs. Dogs 2

Ichiro is on fire!

Another 3 game hit for Ichiro

Mike Sweeney: Now ten times more annoying
He almost asked that interviewer woman to fight him
So if the homeruns came from Ken Griffey Jr.

does that make Griffey lent over?

Like anyone is still participating in that
Gatorade needs to bottle this "love for Griffey" thing.
So Sweeney jammed his probiscus into Griffey's gut and sucked the last of the homers out?
Now we're talkin'!
Hug Power!

P-P-P-P-Power!!!!!!!!!

Power "Outbreak"
Sweeney's a dumbshit

but he hit a HR and if he plays instead of Griffey he can be as crazy as he wants

Only if he sits on the bench when Bradley comes back
You suck ass Bill Kreuger.
You can't sneak the sun by that rooster Evan Longoria.
Texas broadcasters laughing at Doug Fister

I hate these arrogant fuckers with a passion.

Why? Because he won?
Sllightly hypocritical with some of the names on Texas' roster.
I hate Texans in general.

Mainly cause they’re all Cowboy’s fans.
Fuck the Cowboy’s.

The Cowboy's what?

Actually don’t answer that.

Hey Brad Adam, they had fireworks in the Kingdome all the time.
Maybe he always thought they were dangerous then, too.
So I heard the Mariners won.

That’s pretty cool.
