But this place is just… funnier. Being mean to stupid people is more a duty than it is a taboo in my book. Note that I didn’t even read the above micro-thread. Just saying.
If Fister continues like this, keeps getting lucky with his starts and doesn’t regress too much, could he make the all-star team? It seems hard to argue with his numbers, but he doesn’t have any kind of positive track record.
This… this has never happened to me before. No, babe, it’s not you. You look great. I’m just not responding for some reason. Can you not tell your friends? I’ll talk to my doctor about Cialis or something. There’s lots of ways to deal with this! For now… maybe the M’s should just go Colonel Angus on their opponents.
Even the Garko/Kotchman platoon experiment excited me FAR more than the debacle they had planned with that twisted Griff/6-4-3/Bradley/Byrnes orgy of terror.
See, this is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping to avoid by spelling it out in my post.
We get it: Hanley’s a better player. But from everything I have read (both about this current incident and before) he is a colossal douchebag of legendary proportions. Apparently his teammates pretty much hate his spoiled ass.
Disregard most of this subthread except the part that the correct pronunciation outside of America is “Seh-sul” and “See-sill” is a disgusting pronunciation that causes me to cringe every time I hear it
It obviously sucks, Insider costs money I shouldn’t be spending and its pushed on you like your friendly, neighborhood corner dealer. Yet still I watch.
This is what pisses me off so much--our FO is smarter than they were 3 years ago.
At least in ‘08 we had the schadenfreude kick of seeing Bavasi’s arcane methods fail miserably. But now we have guys in charge who know what they’re doing, and they sit on their hands while the season crumbles. It’s so maddening.
<Wak, in his low, monotone voice> “We really liked a couple of swings Sweeney put on the ball, especially that last one. In any other ball park that’s a home run. We’re gonna keep running Mike out there in the clean-up spot.”
Rally fries discussion got worse
Now they’re talking about signs.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
ARGH.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Hey even more bad luck on balls in play!
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Right into a fucking glove again.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Our strategy is apparently to lull our opponents to sleep.
And the strike while the iron is hot. Still in the fire, should reach an appropriate temperature any month now.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I really wish I could know what has been going through Cliff Lee's mind this season.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
No, you don't.
It will just disappoint us.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Every pitcher we play against is "impressive."
Yes. Or we suck.
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
So how far behind is my feed... Sweeney just fould on a 3-3 count.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
*2-2.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
A couple minutes... between innings right now.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
And Fould? Can you tell I'm typing in the dark again?
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
This is just like 2001.
There, I said it. 2001 was kind of boring.
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Except if you were a lifelong Padres fan (slave) and 2001 was your first time witnessing decent Baseball
NWade - May 19, 2010
1998?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I blame 2001 for luring me into full-on sports fandom.
Which has, of course, resulted in nothing but pain living in Seattle.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Until the moment before we lost the playoff run.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
1997 was kind of boring, too.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
That was the most exciting year ever!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
I wish there was something we could do
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Ok - somebody on this roster murdered someone during the offseason
That’s the only way I can explain this karma….
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I guess Jack Wilson
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Bradley is the obvious choice, so clearly it isn't him
tait644 - May 19, 2010
The Rams won the Super Bowl with Leonard Little in 1999
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I don't buy this theory
The Angels murdered Nick Adenhart and they went to the playoffs.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
How come we haven't got anything for the Lopez siblings
Nick S - May 19, 2010
Two gobstoppers to Jeff for not closing the previous game thread
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I want more gobstoppers
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I take back one gobstopper for your greediness
Matthew - May 19, 2010
You don't need another one.
They’re everlasting.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Marketing Lies!!
NWade - May 19, 2010
So that I can share them with the poor
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Communist asshole
Corco - May 19, 2010
And then push them into the mud
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
And waste a gobstopper?
NWade - May 19, 2010
I take the gobstopper back
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Indian-giver
(mark it, 8:54pm PDT on 5/19/2010 is when I slip into the racist jokes on LL, you all are a bad influence)
NWade - May 19, 2010
Isn't that racist against white people?
Matthew - May 19, 2010
How is that racist?
Common phrases are not racist
Corco - May 19, 2010
What the hell is an Indian-giver?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Somebody who gives something then takes it back
Corco - May 19, 2010
But that's what white people do
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
to Indians
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Yeah but it shouldn't matter what moniker is applied
Corco - May 19, 2010
Sort of like God?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Nigga please!
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I so wanted to be the one,
but far to new to throw out the big “N”.
HawkedUp - May 19, 2010
I think that spelling is the little n
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
When I was a kid my aunt called Brazil nuts nigger toes and apparently lots of other cracker ass crackers did too.
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Yeah, they're just like any other nut
Fucking bigots.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
But then it's got poor person all over it?
Who the hell wants a poor-person-covered gobstopper?
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
I wash it in the mud
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
The poor person or the gobstopper?
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
The one I want
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
God, you're an asshole.
You push them in the mud, throw them in the back of your truck, them have them roll around your lawn to fertilize it.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
Communist asshole
Corco - May 19, 2010
Rocks are gobstoppers for the poor
Matthew - May 19, 2010
And they're far more "everlasting"
NWade - May 19, 2010
Tell that to Mt St Helen's rocks
:(
Matthew - May 19, 2010
They're still lasting - just in tinier pieces!
much tinier…
NWade - May 19, 2010
Crack rocks?
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Don't you DARE give crack a bad name.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
He's promoting it if anything.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
You can't gobstopper people
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
I'd like to lose a new way
Like if we scored more runs and still lost.
MT Olson - May 19, 2010
Last night?
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
I want to see us score negative runs.
Or some other kind of breakthrough, paradigm shifting manner of completely fucking the pooch.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I'm not sure Poochie is okay with that.
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Poochie doesn't get fucked by anyone except Ms. Poochie
Poochie - May 19, 2010
;)
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
I bet she's a real bitch hur hur hur
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
So that would be your sister or other close relative, right?
Because if she were your wife, she would be Mrs. Poochie.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Mrs. Poochie is my mom
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Yesterday?
Mataya - May 19, 2010
A 20-13 loss would be cool
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Sounds exciting!
MT Olson - May 19, 2010
Hey guys do we still suck
Nick S - May 19, 2010
Ask geoff Baker.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
Depends on your definition of "suck..."
THolt - May 19, 2010
Bright side stuff
1. Fister
2. Lopez can play 3rd
tait644 - May 19, 2010
OPTIMISM IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
Flagged and nominated for banning.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Also
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
HARPER'S GONNA TURN THE NATS DOWN
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Baron.
Yes, please. But I will never be party to rooting against my teams for any purposes. Who are we, the Nats?
THolt - May 19, 2010
My bad, Harper.
Getting my newb catchers confused.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Harper is being drafted this year
Jackle Mackle - May 19, 2010
How do you confuse Steve Baron and Bryce Harper?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Simple lapse in memory.
Trust me, I’ve spent more time than is appropriate looking at Bryce Harper footage. Check youtube for the Tropicana Field BP/HR derby clip.
THolt - May 19, 2010
The problem is that the hints of brightness are what make the rest of it so much worse to take
NWade - May 19, 2010
Contrast's a bitch.
THolt - May 19, 2010
According to Fangraphs, we're in a better position than Philadelphia over the long haul
Or something like that
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Kevin Goldstein ripped us a new one today on ESPN
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Whoopy
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Yeah, I didn't realize our organization ranks next to Houston and Baltimore for suckiness
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Who cares?
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
We aren't close to Philly, nor are we where Goldstein thinks
tait644 - May 19, 2010
We don't have Ryan Howard's contract on our books
Matthew - May 19, 2010
We don't have Ryan Howard
Or Utley, or Halladay, or Rollins, or Werth, or D. Brown, or Hamels
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I wouldn't want Ryan Howard
Matthew - May 19, 2010
And I sure as hell wouldn't want the front office that signed him, twice
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I don't disagree, but the talent disparity is pretty large
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Wasn't really the point of those rankings
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Shockingly, current talent does not equal future talent
Matthew - May 19, 2010
So current talent isn't to be measured when determining organizational strength?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
It is a part of it
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Right - And I'd argue the most important part
tait644 - May 19, 2010
But then it'd just be like any other "power rankings"
The organizational rankings did something different.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
"Part" is not the same as "Whole"
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Signing aging players to large, long term contracts is.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Of course it is
along with future talent and how the organisation is actually run.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
So current talent is going to last forever?
Because that’s about the same leap of logic that you just took with my statement.
Matthew - May 19, 2010
No, but your comment implies future talent is more important than it really is
tait644 - May 19, 2010
That's completely subjective
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Unfortunately that happens a lot in an online discussion
I could point out that your “Shockingly” comment was a subjective interpretation of what I had said.
Philly’s current talent outweighs any advantage our organization might have in the FO or in the farm system.
tait644 - May 19, 2010
In my opinion
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Good for you
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I appreciate the lack of condescension
tait644 - May 19, 2010
You're welcome
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I like USSM.
But this place is just… funnier. Being mean to stupid people is more a duty than it is a taboo in my book. Note that I didn’t even read the above micro-thread. Just saying.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I like how you can say "Fuck off" to people as well!
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Seconded, motion waived, passed.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Stop while you're ahead.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
He's a 3-4 win player being paid like A-Rod!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Is Dustin Ackley really a worse prospect than Domenic Brown?
Also Howard and Rollins are oldish and/or overpaid.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I think you could make that argument
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I think the difference is negligible at this point.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Philly's organization is a year or two away from making Greece fell better about their current economic situation
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
I hope Santorini erupts
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I THOUGHT THIS LITTLE SUBTHREAD WAS FOR POSITIVE THINGS
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
I don't know who this is
Gihyou - May 19, 2010
A Jew?
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Probably
Gihyou - May 19, 2010
We pretty clearly are
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
I WANT RAUL BACK
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Can you link that?
Or did I miss some sarcastic reference?

Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Gracias.
THolt - May 19, 2010
So...... apparently half an inning just happened.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
On the bright side, that's potentially less of our lives we've devoted to 2010.
THolt - May 19, 2010
4 PITCHES?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Nobody noticed
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Only three more innings until this is over!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
And at this rate, it'll be about 10 minutes.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
We'll tie and then invent yet another way to lose in extras.
Big Jared - May 19, 2010
What the hell?
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
New Mariners slogan.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
I missed it
What is it?
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
What the hell?
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Seriously... Right?
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
Casey!
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
KOTCHROCKET!!!
Corco - May 19, 2010
Leadoff hit
Poochie - May 19, 2010
!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Oh yeah we can't possibly fuck that up!
NWade - May 19, 2010
Hypothetical:
If Fister continues like this, keeps getting lucky with his starts and doesn’t regress too much, could he make the all-star team? It seems hard to argue with his numbers, but he doesn’t have any kind of positive track record.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
No, but maybe we trade him?
NWade - May 19, 2010
Instead of watching the game I will picture Josh Bard with a bushy bear playing the lute and singing songs of dragons and chivalry
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Sounds like a Match 4 commercial
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Those dudes sing acapella
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Capital One?
Fuck I hate that company…
NWade - May 19, 2010
Apparently you've never played A Bard's Tale.
You walk around, get ambushed by a creature, and your whole party dies. Reload?
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
I totally played A Bard's Tale. Once.
That game was fucking retarded
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Sounds about right
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Amazing.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Is there a link to your Paypal?
You just made my night.
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
Why I sure do!
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Why rec when you can donate?
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
As long as it goes to alcohol and Josh Bard's Tale 'chops.
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
I rec *and* donate!
And stand in awe of your ability to post images that damned fast.

Pay me in lots

I'm not making rope
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
What are you making?
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Lettuce
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Oh then you just need seeds
Poochie - May 19, 2010
So you can plan a lettuce tree
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Hells yeah
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I can't see it
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Hells yeah

Everyone knows you can't make vaginas

I can sure as fuck try.
If I create a pussy-tree can I count on some investors from this site?
THolt - May 19, 2010
I will give you 93% of my annual income if you make sure it works

AAAAAHHHHH

Yeah that was the problem.

PEOPLE CALLED JOSH ARE CLEARLY AWESOME
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
APART FROM EVERY JOSH I'VE EVER MET
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
I don't think Bard could run all the way around the bases without stopping to rest along the way
rickpo - May 19, 2010
Josh Bard might make running look more painful than Vladimir Guerrero does
Matthew - May 19, 2010
But does he look like he's got a dump in his pants?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
And more hate-inducing
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Fuck you, ground!
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Well to be fair, the ground does interfere with the catcher a fair amount!
NWade - May 19, 2010
It's time for a dinger!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
They have a knack for keeping me just interested enough to not turn the damn channel!

Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Or that time they blew up the dead sperm whale with dynamite
OlSalty - May 19, 2010
That was my favorite moment in history
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Someone should write a song
rickpo - May 19, 2010
Fergie has done this repeatedly.

Oh my God I'm actually leaving my desk to watch this AB.
Something wicked this way comes.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Now I'm just confused. What are these players doing?
NWade - May 19, 2010
Holy shit-what's it called when our guys run around all the bases and dont make an out?

Figga stole second!!!
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Ah.
The offense we were supposed to have this year. ANNOY. ANNOY. Score a little. ANNOY. ANNOY. Hopefully score a little more.

Hey! Luck goes our way for once!

Dewey N - May 19, 2010
Didn't see the whole sequence:
Good pitch or bad swing/guess?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Both
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
That was agony.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
STEAL HOME!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
That was an absolutely awful pitch to swing at
Guti seems to hit better when no one else is doing shit
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
That's what I thought. Needed confirmation.
THolt - May 19, 2010
How did Sweeny get dirty?
d0nkey - May 19, 2010

Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010

Nick S - May 19, 2010
I hate when that happens to guys I like.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Its like the opposite of Whack-A-Mole!
As soon as a player or two pops up, the others drop down a hole!
NWade - May 19, 2010
We're so screwed.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
WILD PITCH C'MON!
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
It's devolved to that point?
Not “hit,” or “walk,” or “homer.” Wild pitch.
THolt - May 19, 2010
It's Mike Sweeney
We’re nothing if not realistic.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

THolt - May 19, 2010

Slurvey - May 19, 2010

Mike Sweeney has no place on this or any other team.

ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Without rosterbating may I say that this sucks and I hate life and I'm probably going to kill some puppies or something?
Plus I need lube to rosterbate and I’m fresh out.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Um, that sentance works fine without rosterbate in it.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
What's a "sentance?"
THolt - May 19, 2010
This seems to be Decatur's trouble word
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Oh.
I’ll lay off the whip, then. The gag stays.
THolt - May 19, 2010
That and I always type "Christ" when I mean to type Chris.
Spellcheck forsakes me there.

For clarity's sake, I was just fucking with you.
I have a friend who is actually pretty smart but quite literally spells like a retarded fourth-grader. Very strange.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I wasn't offended.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Juzt mayking shure.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Trouble words are the worst
Poochie - May 19, 2010

I thought he was selling birds.
joof - May 19, 2010
Seriously, did anyone actually get excited there? We all knew that was happening.
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Expect the worst from this time
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
I got excited until Gutz struck out.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Pretty much this. Once Guti was done, I knew we were boned. =(
joof - May 19, 2010
There worst part of this was the excitement. Where is that sweet numbness?
the other side - May 19, 2010
I tried.
This… this has never happened to me before. No, babe, it’s not you. You look great. I’m just not responding for some reason. Can you not tell your friends? I’ll talk to my doctor about Cialis or something. There’s lots of ways to deal with this! For now… maybe the M’s should just go Colonel Angus on their opponents.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I'm sad because this will not be a new, interesting way to lose.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
It is very difficult to lose in new ways.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
We don't know until we try!
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Mets found a way tonight.
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Meaning we always manage to fight back to within 1 run and lose the game?
MsForever - May 19, 2010
I go drive home now and spare you my comments for awhile
and I rejoice in my whiteness at Taco Del Mar on the way!
NWade - May 19, 2010
We should have John Wetteland pitch.
He’d fit right in with our DHs.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
He could probably hit as well as our DHs
Corco - May 19, 2010
But he was a pitcher!
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I am fully aware of this
Corco - May 19, 2010
Figiggins!
Corco - May 19, 2010
I can't believe we're going to lose another one run game
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
We haven't lost...Oh who am I kidding
Yeah, fuck it.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
It's pretty unbelievable
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Oh it'll be less than one
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Two more outs and then we get to tryt o score more runs!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Saunders makes that catch.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Booing Bradley?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I choose to assume it was the Jays fans.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Not sure quite what happened, but that foul ball ended up on the field. Not sure if Milton muffed it.
doublemazaa - May 19, 2010
Saunders NOW! >=(
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Saunders three weeks ago.
Even the Garko/Kotchman platoon experiment excited me FAR more than the debacle they had planned with that twisted Griff/6-4-3/Bradley/Byrnes orgy of terror.
THolt - May 19, 2010
So Doug Fister is still pitching
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Fister is THE good
Sweeney is the suck.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
We need to toughen him up.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Is this the deepest he's gone?
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Anyone who replies to this with a Fister joke is an arse, by the way.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
What about a "that's what she said" joke?
Jesus Jones - May 19, 2010
If you'd like to be banned, go ahead
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I hope we get a win soon, Matthew. I think we both need an excuse to relax.
Jesus Jones - May 19, 2010
I yearn to live to see the day that jokes about your word placement can just be made referentially
rather than in a ha ha you said penis manner of a 3rd grader
Matthew - May 19, 2010
B+ for subtlety.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I was surprised as well
Matthew - May 19, 2010
We only have six relievers again, have to be careful
Gihyou - May 19, 2010
Doug Fister isn't showing anyone anything.
He’s acting exactly the same, Krueger
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Is Krueger in the booth or something?
msb - May 19, 2010
Yes.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Niehaus has the day off and Blowers is on radio.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Ah, I've had the sound low, so all I've heard is bits of Sims
msb - May 19, 2010
Be thankful you don't have the radio on.
You missed Rally Fry Radio Theatre.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Bradley is gonna tie this up.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Sean White is in AAA because of roster issues
Corco - May 19, 2010
Not because he deserves to be in AAA
Corco - May 19, 2010
I think Sweeney and Griffey qualify as roster issues
put nicely
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
I like how he is no better than a middle reliever in AAA
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Chone!
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Wow nice play Figgy.
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
Way to not suck
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Jose Lopez would've gotten that.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Wait that's wrong.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
You know,
I havent hheard much about team chemestry this year
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Grrrrrrrrr
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
You sound like a dog
Poochie - May 19, 2010

Dewey N - May 19, 2010
My mom has dogs
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Ew!!
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
This is how families work
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Not all moms have dogs!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Moms of dogs have dogs
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
You are a canine
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Wppf wppf

FIGGY!
Benne - May 19, 2010
Nice play, Figs.
See. I can be positive.

Hmmmmm…
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
Every time I hear this baby teeth radio ad
I wonder how many of our players still have their baby teeth.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Ha! A Jack in the Box score
What will they think of next?
Corco - May 19, 2010
Burger King Felix
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
That would suck
Corco - May 19, 2010
Bahahahaha
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
He just drew in the dirt
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
Did he draw this?
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
It's weird how good Scott Downs has become
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
We aren't going to win this game are we...
the other side - May 19, 2010
I have confidence in this lineup.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Lopez is slow
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Bradley dinger come onnnnn
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
Bradley, I'm waiting for that welcome back homer.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
So figgins was perfect through the first 6 batters, and the last 14, with 3 outs to go?
But somehow managed to squeeze 5 hits and 3 ER in the middle.
doublemazaa - May 19, 2010
Fuck, Fister, not Figgins.
They look so alike, I always get them confused.
doublemazaa - May 19, 2010
This happens to me too.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
I think Fister leaves Figgins-sized pieces of yesterday's dinner in the toilet every morning.
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Wak is optimistic
Aardsma’s up in the pen.
Matt Erickson - May 19, 2010
C'mon Bradley...
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
So, it's been about a week since Aardsma last pitched huh?
because goodness knows you wouldn’t want a closer to do anything but close.
msb - May 19, 2010
Or fail to close
As DA has done too often.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Don't be down on everything.
9 shutdowns, 3 meltdowns.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Bradley has seen a shit load of pitches tonight
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
He also has 2 line drives!
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Plus that awesome smile!
the other side - May 19, 2010
SINGLE!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Woooo Baltimore Chop!
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Milton!
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Well I'll be ....
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
The scoreboard guy though that was popped up?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
You know, as much of a jerk as Milton Bradley is supposed to be, I suspect I'd still rather have him as my teammate than Hanley Ramirez
From a personality standpoint, strictly speaking.
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Also note that I wrote this before I found out that Milton got on base
esoteric - May 19, 2010
I'd rather have Hanley as my teammate because holy fuck he's good.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
See, this is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping to avoid by spelling it out in my post.
We get it: Hanley’s a better player. But from everything I have read (both about this current incident and before) he is a colossal douchebag of legendary proportions. Apparently his teammates pretty much hate his spoiled ass.
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Sorry, I only read the subject line.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
But do baseball people really give a fuck about personality? When the player is good enough I think that just all PR.
the other side - May 19, 2010
By "baseball people" do you mean his teammates?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Apparently some guys make their teammates care.
msb - May 19, 2010
No I talking about like FO people saying they care about character. At some point talent has to trump that.
the other side - May 19, 2010
Fuck, I'm
the other side - May 19, 2010
Milton was man enough to reach out to his teammates for help.
Hanley wouldn’t even admit mistakes.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Like we could know that
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Ichiro teaching Figgins!
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
I can't believe Chone Figgins is one of the best baseball players in the world
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Seriously: as bad as he is, he's still several standard deviations better than you or I.
esoteric - May 19, 2010
TUI IS PINCH HITTING?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
NO
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I want to hear the audio of that conversation.
msb - May 19, 2010
Ah fuck, Tui?
Brian Floyd - May 19, 2010
Seriously.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
This is interesting.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Tui, really?
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
HE'S JUST GOING TO STRIKE OUT YOU DUMBASS
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Oh God.
Mike Blowers is calling him “Carnation.” Worse than Sims with Gutierrez.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Yes, how dare Dave Sims pronounce Gutierrez how Franklin told him to say it.
joof - May 19, 2010
It's not that. It's the way he has to rub it in your face like, "Haha fuckers only I can say it right."
the other side - May 19, 2010
Huh?
BrianL - May 19, 2010
He IS the only who who says it right.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Doesn't have to call us names though
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Wait, does he?
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Explain.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
I was referring to what the_other_side said
God I’m bad at making jokes
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Read the other side's post again.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Jesus Christ, an American pronounces a South American name right, and he's an asshole?
Now I’ve heard everything.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
It's intellectual and pretentious to pronounce things correctly.
joof - May 19, 2010
Wait, I think we may be calling Sims intellectual.
the other side - May 19, 2010
I was mocking the sentiment.
joof - May 19, 2010
I got that after I wrote this...
Carry on.
the other side - May 19, 2010
That episode of Friends where everyone gives Ross shit for how he pronounces Karate has forever put me off pronouncing things correctly.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Sims called Brett Cecil "Brett See-sill" all game
He’s Canadian. It’s Brett Seh-sul
Corco - May 19, 2010
Not as bad as McCarver.
That was hell.
the other side - May 19, 2010
Really? Canadians pronounce this differently?
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
The US is the only country that says "See-sill"
I love America but that pronunciation is gross
Corco - May 19, 2010
Brett Cecil is from Maryland.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
He plays for the Blue Jays
Corco - May 19, 2010
But Guti plays for us
And the latin-american way to say Gutierrez is still correct.
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
Good call
Corco - May 19, 2010
So I should say Goo-ty-rez?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Yeah I'm a drunk idiot right now
Disregard most of this subthread except the part that the correct pronunciation outside of America is “Seh-sul” and “See-sill” is a disgusting pronunciation that causes me to cringe every time I hear it
Corco - May 19, 2010
Seh-sul sounds pretentious.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Like I said
I love America but Americans are seriously the only people in the world that pronounce it See-sill, so I’d argue See-sill sounds pretentious
Corco - May 19, 2010
Being named "Seh-sul"
should come with a complementary monacle and top hat
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
Yeah
“Seh-sul” just comes out more natural.
“See-sill” sounds weird on the tongue
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
Game Strategy!
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Did Kotchman die?
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Be good at hitting lefties you douche
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FUCKFACE
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Our backup "shortstop" is pinch hitting for our first baseman. Wow.
ARock - May 19, 2010
In fairness he's also our backup first baseman :(
Corco - May 19, 2010
He is our backup everything
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
Our backup shortstop fields like a firstbaseman
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Ewwwiasosopo :(
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
BELIEF SYSTEM
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
Wak FAIL!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
THis entire season has been one big Wak FAIL!
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
And I thought this would turn into a Brandon Morrow joke.
the other side - May 19, 2010
The fuck was the point of that?
ScottBrowne - May 19, 2010
Funny how Wak rarely did stuff like that last year.
tait644 - May 19, 2010
JOSH BARD WILL DELIVER US ALL TO THE PROMISED LAND
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
I wonder if Dave Cameron liked that move...
tait644 - May 19, 2010
At least this means that Ichiro will bat in the 9th
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Please let it be us with the walk off tonight.
wazzu93 - May 19, 2010 via mobile
Only if Wak PHs Langherhans
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Tis a pleasant fantasy, isn't it?
calim - May 19, 2010
I think we deserve after all the bad times in Oakland and Chicago.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Don't get your motherfucking hopes up
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
More lineouts please
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I don't think you understand how this game is played
Poochie - May 19, 2010
DUDE. He has Golfberger's Syndrome.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
*sigh*
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
Damn...
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
At least we have one more try!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Three more!
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
Right to the fielder, how unusual.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Just our (lack of) luck
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
They know they don't have to hit it right at someone, right?
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
Why can't that someone be a fan in the bleachers for once?
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
It must be easy to be opposing fielders. You don't have to mov e much, the ball just comes right too you.
JAH - May 19, 2010
Another hard-hit ball
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Fred Lewis was free
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Only when he fled to Canada.
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Wouldn't really have a role here, if that's what you mean
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Not really
just remarking.
Matthew - May 19, 2010
He's not that good
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
I know
Matthew - May 19, 2010
John Buck is 29
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Is he really?
Seems older
Matthew - May 19, 2010
He'll be 30 soon
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
How soon?
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Reasonably
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
That IS soon!
Matthew - May 19, 2010
We would pull further out in front in the blackest team in the majors standings
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Should have kept Bill Hall
Matthew - May 19, 2010
I LOVED BILL HALL
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Oh you're one of those N word lovers
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
It's my favorite word. :)
Poochie - May 19, 2010
I believe the technical term is dark shark.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
what
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Hands up everyone who was surprised by that outcome!
msb - May 19, 2010
Woohoo I can get Ms tickets at half price by going to various stores?
Do I want to?
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Starbucks is giving them away free on Friday.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Yeah but if I'm going to an overrated coffee place I want to get a beverage and I fucking hate starbucks.
the other side - May 19, 2010
All true NWers know there are far better coffee players than Starbucks
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Coffee places
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
We should try to win this shit
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
W...
W…? Wii….? Win…..?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Let's rock it
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Now you're speaking my language
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
Let's gobstopper it
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Yeehaw
Dewey N - May 19, 2010
Woah now, that's radical thinkiing.
JAH - May 19, 2010
ugh
Corco - May 19, 2010
Oh boo
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
So I get the emotional/mental pain.
Does anyone else actually experience a physical discomfort during these telecasts?
THolt - May 19, 2010
I used to
I’m numb now.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Hey it might not be another 1-run loss!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Guti for all outfield positions!
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
That didn't remind me of Swan Lake
rickpo - May 19, 2010
Saunders would have caught that!
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
Doubtful.
joof - May 19, 2010
I know, I just like saying it.
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
I hate you, David Aardsma.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Guti should show Ichiro how to approach the wall.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
OT:
Terrence is going to Kentucky. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.
/off topic (my apologies)
THolt - May 19, 2010
Are you serious???
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Yeah they just announced it.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
did you really think he wouldn't?
msb - May 19, 2010
Too many reports to the contrary earlier in the week.
So, yeah, I did. I was on campus all day and kept a keen eye out. What a shitty sports town.
THolt - May 19, 2010
That's what Angie just said on the telecast :(
Jackle Mackle - May 19, 2010
Tis true
I wonder how much Coach CAl is paying Jones under the table.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Watch it
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Okay, I'll stop now
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Sorry UW
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Who
I love the great state of Kentucky but who the fuck is Terrence
Corco - May 19, 2010
Top prep player out of Jefferson HS in Portland, OR
Originally verbal led to UW.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
That would do it
Corco - May 19, 2010
This isnt OT
The gamethreads are just ranting know
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Sucks.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Calipari is a slimeball.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Bullshit
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Sucks to be you!
He’s actually from my state, but we had a Kentastrophe over the last two years… so he didn’t even bother considering UO.
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Huskies got his less talented teammate!
yuniform - May 19, 2010
The other Terrence.
Yay. Great. Fuck.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Kent really didn't recruit from Oregon
More from his home area in the midwest.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Worldwide Wes!
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Bahahaha
I’m going to UW….PSYCH…Suckers!!!!
the other side - May 19, 2010
God, I hate them breaking from the broadcast like that.
JAH - May 19, 2010
Jeff has inspired me, and now I describe things as clown shoes.
It’s a good one.
joof - May 19, 2010
TAKE A SEAT!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Mind games.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Why are they still doing the DA graphics in a non-save situation when we're going to lose
Corco - May 19, 2010
Im confused
MLB at bat says Fister’s era is 1.96 but Espn has it at 2.12, who should i believe?
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
I'd go with MLB.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Cool thanks, I just wanted other people's opinion.
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
ESPN still exists?
I haven’t watched it in a year.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
I cannot fathom how they've gotten along without you.
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Wow, you're missing like 85% of all sports on TV
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
New England sports.
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Yes how dare they show the most popular teams
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
Don't be a Masshole.
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Don't be an idiot and we'll call it even
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Hell there, 2003
Matthew - May 19, 2010
It's like crack.
It obviously sucks, Insider costs money I shouldn’t be spending and its pushed on you like your friendly, neighborhood corner dealer. Yet still I watch.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Probably because MLB is updating it as it goes
and ESPN will update after the game is over.
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
My apologies regarding the OT post.
I knew better but was too hurt to not mention it. Won’t happen again.
THolt - May 19, 2010
It was related to the broadcast.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Is it just me or does Buck look a bit like Youkilis?
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
DA!
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Well, we can lose by 1 again
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
That was a ball?!
voltron27 - May 19, 2010
Come on, we deserve a freaking walk-off.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Let's get Aardsma a win!
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Let's get our hopes up for that!
1L - May 19, 2010
Ok, time to go watch on TV.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Aardsma!
kennerdoloman - May 19, 2010
Time to win these shits
Poochie - May 19, 2010
I wants a walkoff
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Like, the players just leaving the field before the game is actually over?
THolt - May 19, 2010
They do in spirit a lot
If not in body.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
I'm not sure its time yet
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
so you can eat them?
Fucking dogs
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Go chew on some grass and barf it up
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Dog
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Oh, Griffey is pinch hitting this inning.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Well, there's one wasted at-bat.
msb - May 19, 2010
Dear LORD.
GRIFFEY?!
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
Griffey in, game forfeited.
BrianL - May 19, 2010
WHATTTTT
WHAT???
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
what
I Lick Squirrels - May 19, 2010
ON YOUR FEET FOR GRIFFEY
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
"Junior having a tough month."
Really?
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
OH FUCK THIS.
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
WHY IS GRIFFEY PINCH HITTING?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
NO
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
If we tie this up Tui at SS ewwwwwwwwwwwwww...
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
He'd be at first.
kennerdoloman - May 19, 2010
No we'd have to put Langerhans in for Griffey because we have no SS now
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Won't matter if we lose
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
For fuck's sake............
Big Jared - May 19, 2010
Oh Griffey Phing
Goodie.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Griffey?
Really Wak?
ambrosia2112 - May 19, 2010
This guy looks like a f a lil b
Poochie - May 19, 2010
I'M DONE.
melenious - May 19, 2010
HAHAHA
“Jr. having a tough month….” Blowers may now promptly suck me.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Or was that Sims?
No matter, I’m an equal opportunity dome recipient.
THolt - May 19, 2010
GROUNDBALL TO 2ND!
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Can't watch.
Please, just draw a walk or something.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Do the people cheering realize who is up?
the other side - May 19, 2010
I like living dangerously!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Sports Entertainment!
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
i can't fucking wait for the outcome of this!
Alto - May 19, 2010
GET FUCKING REAL
AAAAARRRGHGHGHGHGHGHLSDKJGHSLKDJGH
1L - May 19, 2010
Jr had that big RBI single way back vs. Texas the first weekend, that's it.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Blowers called Junior "something special in the batters box."
feces.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Griffey.... alright then
I guess the more times he fucks up in high leverage situations the sooner he leaves
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
This move fills me with rage
grrrrrr
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Ken Griffey Junior will save us!
joof - May 19, 2010
Wow. I never saw that coming.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
FAIL!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Sigh
Go Junior. Hooray. Yippee.
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Designated Out.
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
At least it was just one out this time.
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
FUCK YOU
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
He fuckin killed that
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Shocking
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Unbelieveable.
Really Wak?
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
GET ANGRIER.
melenious - May 19, 2010
I'm not angry. I'm depressed.
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
DIE IN A TREE
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Now you're excited
;)
Poochie - May 19, 2010
How the fuck do you suggest he does that
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
It's a shame we don't play more games in the Jim Crow era south
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
We could call it a Whitey Whacker
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Suspended from it
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Got it.
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
GOD. GO AWAY NOW.
melenious - May 19, 2010
That's right, work the count Jr...
Oh, wait. It’s the bottom of the ninth. There ya go, put some wood on it!
THolt - May 19, 2010
I don't think I could handle Griffey tynig the game up
JAH - May 19, 2010
Was that necessary?
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
I am completely and utterly shocked off my ass
Alto - May 19, 2010
It almost got out of the infield!
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Somebody boo him
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I can't wait till we get to play in some NL parks and lose our DH
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
Ichiro, please hit a dinger.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
No Alaska miles for kids with this team...
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
That was unexpected
aussie_chop - May 19, 2010
OH WHAT A GIANT SHOCK
I DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING
SURELY, WAK DID NOT EITHER
I HATE EVERYONE RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING ALL OF YOU WHO LIVE IN SEATTLE AND DID NOT STOP THAT. YOU ARE EQUALLY AT FAULT GOD DAMN IT
1L - May 19, 2010
I respect Griffey for making that clutch out.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
I assume Langerhans and Saunders are hurt
I know Wak wouldn’t be dumb enough to bat Griffey instead of those guys
Baconburger - May 19, 2010
Now I almost hope we lose this game.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
So Josh probably could have done that himself.
the other side - May 19, 2010
At the very least.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Bedard watching with great intensity.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Sims - gives a flying fuck about Griffey's BP?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
FUCKSOCKS
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Aw darn
Poochie - May 19, 2010
JUST GO TO HELL GRIFFEY
GO TO HELL YOU FUCKER
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
And Chone will end this...
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Fuck. Fuck.
Fuck. Fuck.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Woo, 5 in a row!
8.5 out! Mariners baseball!
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Toronto fans in the house
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Hey, somebody has to come to the games.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
Ichiro should have lifted and separated more there
Matthew - May 19, 2010
He needs to use his legs more
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
Yeah
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Like a bra.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Oh!!
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Yes, Ted, that was the joke
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Wait, what
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Free um err Brad Nelson?
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
This wouldn't be so bad if we weren't losing like crazy.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Have I mentioned before that I love Larry Stone?
@StoneLarry And with his uncanny flair for the dramatic, Junior pops to the second baseman
msb - May 19, 2010
Krueger said it first
when has that pitch been a strike?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Most of the time
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Here you go
linkypoo
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
Why do all Americans lump Canadians into one fan base?
Do British Columbians really root for a team 3,000 miles away as opposed to 300?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Yes.
drblacknwhite - May 19, 2010
Canadians are very nationalistic and support the team within their country as opposed to the one outside their country
I salute this
Corco - May 19, 2010
Given the borders these days it's also arguably much easier to get from Vancouver to Toronto then Vancover to Seattle
Corco - May 19, 2010
What do "these days" constitute?
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Since you have to have a passport to get over the border
Corco - May 19, 2010
So what- July 1 2009?
Corco - May 19, 2010
I crossed the border four times since then and each time took less than 20 minutes total
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Yeah but you had to get a passport
That’s somewhat of a hardship for some people
Corco - May 19, 2010
I don't have a passport
Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t go drive to Calgary right now
Corco - May 19, 2010
For those without access to a camera or felons, sure is.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Last time I crossed my car was searched and I was patted down
That’s a significant annoyance
Corco - May 19, 2010
Hell yeah it is.
Especially when you’re carrying small amounts of controlled substances. Whoops.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I wasn't and that's why it was annoying
Corco - May 19, 2010
Dawning comprehension:
It’s annoying regardless. Annex Canada!
THolt - May 19, 2010
I'd be totally for this
I love Canadians and would love to see them and their values unite with us under our flag
Corco - May 19, 2010
This is how WW3 starts.
joof - May 19, 2010
I think it's going to be the Canadians invading us actually
I’m not sure why- just a suspicion. They’re up there so quietly- they have to be planning an attack
Corco - May 19, 2010
Toeing the "no politics" rule....
THolt - May 19, 2010
Sorry for toeing the no Fallout rule.
joof - May 19, 2010
Because of the $60?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
$60 and the time it takes to get it
Corco - May 19, 2010
It took like 2 weeks.
You make it sound harder than it is.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
It's supposed to take 6 weeks
Corco - May 19, 2010
That is so people don't get pissed off if it actually takes that long.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
When I got one (it has since expired)
it took like 8
Corco - May 19, 2010
So plan ahead two months if you want to go to Canada.
The rule has been talked about enough that if you really want to go you could have a passport now.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
In fairness if I still lived near the border I would probably have gotten one in case I wanted to go up
Corco - May 19, 2010
but still, the point applies
What’s easier? A direct flight to Toronto or a 2.5 hour drive with a potentially obnoxious border crossing?
Corco - May 19, 2010
I know what's cheaper.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Like I said- "arguably"
One side of the argument is “easier” and the other one is “cheaper”
Corco - May 19, 2010
No, I already had a passport
Matthew - May 19, 2010
Right, but a lot of people who cross US to Canada only went to those two countries and had no need for a passport
Corco - May 19, 2010
Enhanced ID, maybe?
Or is that shit as obtuse as a I suspect it may be?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Yes.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Yes.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Who gives a shit?
They’re Candians.
1L - May 19, 2010
Unintentional typo, but I still don't give a shit.
1L - May 19, 2010
Yeah fuck other countries.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Yes.
joof - May 19, 2010
To some to degree, yes. Canada is only the Blue Jays market.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Did you ever go to a Jays game in the Dome in the early 90s?
Yes.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
It's true though
We get a hell of a lot of Jays’ fans for TOR games, and I’m willing to bet a vast majority come from BC
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
Yes.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Americans don't.
Canadians do. They’re the ones rooting for Toronto
Matthew - May 19, 2010
END END END!
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
This team inspires me
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Chone!
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
GUTI TIME!!!!
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
GUTI TIME!
I Lick Squirrels - May 19, 2010
We're walking off right here
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
One way or another.
Decatur - May 19, 2010
One way or another.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Weeeeeeird
Karma Police - May 19, 2010
One way or another.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
One way, or possibly another way.
Or maybe not until the next batter.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Oh god I'd rather loose than have sweeny be useful.
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
Sweeney
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Go Mariners!
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Not me!
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Dear God, what I would do for Gutz to hit it out right now.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
END IT NOW GUTI!
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Please don't K again.

Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
SEXBOMB
kennerdoloman - May 19, 2010
Time for a dong!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Why do jokes involving what women say have to be bannable offenses?
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
They aren't funny.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Because they are played out and fucking stupid anyway.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Cool.
Just wanted a clarification.
thehemogoblin - May 19, 2010
Damnit, of course it has to be Guti. I could not care if it was anyone else.
the other side - May 19, 2010
I don't trust anyone more than Guti
I believe in you, you wonderful man
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Tiny bit of hope
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
DUNNNN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Nice play by Overbay there
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
If that had ended the game...
…I would have been completely unsurprised and would have easily continued with my life.
THolt - May 19, 2010
GUTI!
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Kreuger should never laugh.
It is disheartening.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
GUTI!
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
HOLY SHIT WE'RE DOING STUFF

WOOOOOOOOOO
melenious - May 19, 2010
Here comes the fucktard.
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
>.<
melenious - May 19, 2010
Sweeney...
Fuck.
I Lick Squirrels - May 19, 2010
Damnit. Sweeney.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
And our hopes rest on Sweeney
Fuck….
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
HE LOOK IT'S MIKE SWEENEY
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
OH FUCK OFF MIKE SWEENEY
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Too bad we can't PH Griffey here
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Yeah Griffey is clutch you know
Blowers says.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Langerhans would be nice
tait644 - May 19, 2010

Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010

WHY DID YOU BAT SWEENEY CLEANUP WAK??? WHY?!?!
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
Sweeney :(
Come on old man. Just one hit!
Ender15 - May 19, 2010
HERE COMES MIKE SWEENEY!
His heart is going to give out at this rate.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
It's Mike Sweeney and suddenly I don't care any more.
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Hero Sweeney!
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
This is cruel. Raising our hopes with two outs in the 9th... then Sweeney comes up.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Well.
I’m confident, how ’bout you gentlemen?
THolt - May 19, 2010
PH HIM YOU IDIOT
Brian Floyd - May 19, 2010
But he's been designated to hit!
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
He's like a total professional you guys
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010

joof - May 19, 2010
LEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
joof - May 19, 2010
FUCK!!
IlliniM - May 19, 2010
Double steal!
Matthew - May 19, 2010
FUCK
Has a team’s win probability ever decreased after a single (with no outs recorded)?
mkries - May 19, 2010
Look at his face, he already gave up.
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
He took a pitch.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Would have been nice if that came after an SB
calim - May 19, 2010
Let's see if Sweeney can buy himself another month in the lineup.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
WHY AM I NERVOUS
CAN’T I JUST NOT CARE
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
6-4-3! 6-4-3!
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
You're killing the vibe, man!
And give me my rug back, it really ties the room together.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Already 2 outs.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Does he throw to Overbay for funsies?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Do not swing Sweeney!
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKE
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
He's not listening
Gihyou - May 19, 2010
SWEENEY LAUGHS AT YOU
esoteric - May 19, 2010
I am confident he won't hack a an outside pitch
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Dear God,
I know you have a wonderful sense of humor, so I can’t think of anything funnier than a Sweeney HR right now. Make it happen
Decatur - May 19, 2010
Single with someone thrown out on the bases taking us to extras.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
Please just do good. I need this. We all do.
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
GOD DAMMIT STOP DON'T SWING AT SHIT
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
HACK HACK HACK HACK HACK!
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
EXCELLENT
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Ball 4!
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
Strikeout coming
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
THAT WAS A BALL
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
I cannot watch.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Ball 4.
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
SACK OF SHIT
DO NOT SWING
oscartehgrouch - May 19, 2010
ALRIGHT NOW LOPEZ IS UP CAUSE SWEENEY WALKED!
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
OH WAIT NO
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
This is gonna be awesome.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Oh man he really wants to win!
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Oh my fuck please
Alto - May 19, 2010
He hasn't thrown a single fastball, Krueger
I understand stupid, but are you seriously so stupid that you cannot see a TV monitor
Matthew - May 19, 2010
THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO CARE
Decatur - May 19, 2010
I have ZERO expectations
tait644 - May 19, 2010
GOD DAMN IT
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bkvarda - May 19, 2010
Obviously.
James F'n X - May 19, 2010
God damn you Rick Rizzs
calim - May 19, 2010
OH FUCK!
Close…
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Fuck baseball
Griffin Cooper - May 19, 2010
What a tease
oscartehgrouch - May 19, 2010
Well, that's a taco
Corco - May 19, 2010
Their futility was legendary.
That is how I will describe the 2010 Mariners to my son when he is old enough to understand the pain of failure.
Jesus Jones - May 19, 2010
1 run loss.
Surprise.
I Lick Squirrels - May 19, 2010
Awww....
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Yes, Considerably.
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
GOD DAMN IT, FUCK THE RADIO GUYS
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
Sounded like a home run
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
"BELTED! Deep to... second base?"
THolt - May 19, 2010
He hit it pretty hard
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
He does manage to hit the ball hard a lot
Jeff Sullivan - May 19, 2010
So. Painful.
THolt - May 19, 2010
He got SO fucking excited
calim - May 19, 2010
Yeah
He sounded like he was going into his homerun call.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
I figured it out when he started yelling OF names
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
fucking Riz had me sold for a second
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
What would Rizzs sell were he to sell things?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Also, spelling on that correct?
THolt - May 19, 2010
And that's why radio is dead
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
AAAAND HE SWINGS AT BALL FOUR
esoteric - May 19, 2010
Jesus
waldo rojas - May 19, 2010
Alright I will now plunge Drano into my carotid. G'night!
THolt - May 19, 2010
-sigh-
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
SEASON OVER
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
Yet I'm still going to go to games.
If any of you season ticket holders gave up, I’d love to take your tickets for free :)
LeftArrow2 - May 19, 2010
Rizzs/the crowd totally fooled me
For a half second.
Boo.
yuniform - May 19, 2010
Motherfucker
ScottBrowne - May 19, 2010
FUCK YOU RICK.
the other side - May 19, 2010
FUCK YOU FRED LEWIS
FUCK YOU MIKE SWEENEY
FUCK YOU WAK
FUCK YOU GRIFFEY
FUCK YOU KRUEGER
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Griffey was the fucking key to all of this.
He’s essentially a guaranteed out these days. Why the fuck are we wasting at bats?! UGHHHHHHHHHHH. WHY CAN’T I JUST NOT FUCKING CARE?
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Ball six
Matthew - May 19, 2010
A couple of those looked pretty close on Gameday. Not true?
Edgar for Pres - May 19, 2010
A couple still means ball four.
Eyeball Kid - May 19, 2010
Aaaaaaaaand Sweeney keeps his job
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I thought it was going to get down :(
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Life is not fair.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
For M's fans.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Typical
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Aww man at least we gave it our best.
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Screenshot that at bat, it was a Sweeney special.
Cantu Easley Winn - May 19, 2010
I just hate my life.
1L - May 19, 2010
Still emotionally interested, huh?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Thank God that shit is over
Now I can watch Modern Family on DVR
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
Modern Family is beast.
kennerdoloman - May 19, 2010
DAMNIT ALL
FUCK OFF SWEENEY YOU HACKING SON OF A BITCH.
Brian Floyd - May 19, 2010
Anyone want to guess what our record was after 40 games in 2008?
No peeking on Baseball Reference!
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
16-24?
Benne - May 19, 2010
Nope! But you're close!
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
15-25?
Benne - May 19, 2010
Ding!
And 8.5 games out.
So much for “but it’s a weak division”.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
Balls. I hate being right.
Benne - May 19, 2010
You know what I hate?
a- this is so blatantly obviously a better team than 2008 it’s not even funny.
b- yet, somehow, the Mariners DESERVE to be sporting an awful record.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
This is what pisses me off so much--our FO is smarter than they were 3 years ago.
At least in ‘08 we had the schadenfreude kick of seeing Bavasi’s arcane methods fail miserably. But now we have guys in charge who know what they’re doing, and they sit on their hands while the season crumbles. It’s so maddening.
Benne - May 19, 2010
better than now.
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Correct!
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
14-26!
calim - May 19, 2010
Nope. Also close.
eponymous_coward - May 19, 2010
I can't believe we lost
Poochie - May 19, 2010
Yeah its crazy
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
ONE STRIKE THE WHOLE FUCKING AT BAT
GEE I WONDER WHAT DAVE’S RECAP WILL LOOK LIKE?
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
There is no recap
Slurvey - May 19, 2010
Gameday says the 4th and 6th pitches of the AB were close, but yeah, Sweeney sucks
tait644 - May 19, 2010
One of these days, a win will be ours.
ThundaPC - May 19, 2010
Now lets not jump to conclusions.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Yes, let's fly at supersonic speeds toward them.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Suckers, I was watching Mythbusters!
Jeff Nye - May 19, 2010
So worth it.
Even if I had to watch the build team do another lame myth.
BrianL - May 19, 2010
The waterslide made up for it!
Jeff Nye - May 19, 2010
Why do the losses still physically hurt?
Seriously?
hawkfanadam - May 19, 2010
try drinking
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
I'm getting a PBR right now
No reason to waste a good beer on this loss.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
Nail polish remover.
No reason to waste drinkable alcohol on this loss.
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Because if we're on a forum during a game, we're clearly irrationally devoted.
Also… beer.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Yes... nectar of the gods.
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Fuck me in my brain
You’re driving me….. INSANE!!!!!
vitalogist - May 19, 2010
You don't walk off the island
waldo rojas - May 19, 2010
Surprise surprise, had a perfect chance to pinch-hit Saunders in that situtation and didn't do it.
It’s not like he would have done any worse.
Coach Owens - May 19, 2010
Or Langerhans
Wait – Wak had TWO options sitting on the bench?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
I can't wait to see Phase 2 of Dave's fury unleashed soon.
Benne - May 19, 2010
I shudder to think...
THolt - May 19, 2010
.
@ LookoutLanding On a 2-0 count, with the game on the line, Mike Sweeney was looking dead-red and swung at a ball in the dirt
@ d_a_cameron Twice.
msb - May 19, 2010
Indifference hasn't come yet
This still pains me…
bomdal - May 19, 2010
I feel fine!
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Unfortunately :(
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
TERRENCE JONES!
KENTUCKY BASKETBALL!
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
Rec'd because Softy is about to commit suicide
Also: Maury Povich!
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
Can't wait for the sanctions to come in next year
Crystal for DH - May 19, 2010
Yes, please.
THolt - May 19, 2010
I don't want to fucking hear it right now, OK?
THolt - May 19, 2010
I hope Kentucky eliminates UW in the NCAA tournament.
Go Cougs :D
JAH - May 19, 2010
I hope the Cougs field at least a Pop Warner-level squad this fall.
But then again, I am an emotional masochist… as my membership to this site shows.
THolt - May 19, 2010
Ahahaha!
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
We were 11-11 with Cliff Lee coming back and starting a 9-game homestand.
>:(
Crystal for DH - May 19, 2010
It's all Cliff's fault, obviously.
Coach Owens - May 19, 2010
Its Lee's fault
I knew it.
skywaker9 - May 19, 2010
WINNERS WIN
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
COUGS COUG IT
Maury Povich - May 19, 2010
Your screen name is Maury Povich.
kevin_ess - May 19, 2010
Wak and Byrnes fucked this team up
Sam Regens - May 19, 2010
April 30. When our hopes and dreams were not yet crushed.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
At least we got J.P. Losman!
Locked up!
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Can he put up a .550 OPS?
Crystal for DH - May 19, 2010
Hey, maybe we can protest this loss for some inane reason like Girardi last night?
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Atleast we get a lot of shiny prospects for Cliff as suppose to some gay draft picks
Punkhazard - May 19, 2010
By the way, I blame the organization more than Griffey
95% of professional athletes don’t know when to admit they suck and retire.
Grady Clapp - May 19, 2010
I agree
Griffey still wants to play and get paid a lot for it. Why should he quit? Its the organizations job to say enough is enough.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Post-game press conference
<Wak, in his low, monotone voice> “We really liked a couple of swings Sweeney put on the ball, especially that last one. In any other ball park that’s a home run. We’re gonna keep running Mike out there in the clean-up spot.”
RustyJohn - May 19, 2010
"We played a pretty good game, just came up short in some situations. We'll get em' tomorrow."
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Quote or speculation?
Mariner John - May 19, 2010
Please say speculation..............
Mataya - May 19, 2010
Did he honestly say this?
tait644 - May 19, 2010
GOD
Corco - May 19, 2010
Every game Griffey gets a PA is a loss you can blame on Wak.
DrewManchu - May 19, 2010
Milton just said he's been working "ever so hard"
Aaron Campeau - May 19, 2010
I love Milton.
E-Lizz - May 19, 2010
Even if this season continues to suck in this manner, I'll be happy if:
1. Saunders pans out, and
2. Bradley finds some peace in that mind of his
tait644 - May 19, 2010
Milton apparently just got back from a posh English boarding school for young girls.
JAH - May 19, 2010
I LOVE MILTON BRADLEY
Jackle Mackle - May 19, 2010
Fuck this.
I’m just going to go pretend my fictional M’s franchise in The Show is the real M’s team.
Benne - May 19, 2010
Trade Cliff already!
Bicycle Rider - May 19, 2010
Defeatist!
Let’s pull some Stalinist shit on this saboteur! Ice-pick, Trotsky style?
THolt - May 19, 2010
Just got to the end of this thread finally.
I’ll be watching tomorrow. I like afternoon games.
