I just opened up the regular (i.e. non-mobile) Lookout Landing page, and it auto-updated and let me rec and flag. It took a while to load, though. I guess that’s why it didn’t say “via mobile”.
Both Felix and Weaver cannot give their teams the edge.
At most, one team can have the edge. Weaver has not given the Angels the edge, since they do not have it. If, hypothetically, the did have the edge, then Felix could not have given the Mariners the edge, since they would not have it.
The United States produces about 20%, or 1.1 billion tons, of the world's coal supply—second only to China.
Coal generates about half of the electricity used in the United States.
The United States has about a 245-year supply of coal, if it continues using coal at the same rate at which it uses coal today.
The average coal miner is 50 years old and has 20 years of experience.
Coal ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, is used as filler for tennis rackets, golf balls, and linoleum.
Each person in the United States uses 3.8 tons of coal each year.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches.
The earliest railway in Great Britain was built between October 1603 and October 1604.
The steepest Cogwheel railway in the world is in Switzerland. It has a gradient of 48%.
The highest railway station in the world is at Condor in Bolivia. It is an altitude of 4,787 metres which is three and a half times higher than Great Britain’s tallest mountain.
Every time a Virgin Pendolino train brakes they return 17 percent of electricity used back to the National Grid – enough to provide power for 11,825 homes for a year or to brew 2.6 billion cups of tea.
Around 70% of train journeys taken in Great Britain either start or finish in London.
BONUS TRAIN-VOLCANO COMBO!
The only railway to go to the top of a volcano was built on Mount Vesuvius in Italy, in 1880.
Came back from space, capsule hatch possibly malfunctioned, capsule sinks after landing in ocean.
So they fix the hatches to prevent this from happening in the future. A few years layer, Grissom dies in the Apollo 1 fire cause they couldn’t open the hatch in time.
Perhaps I will scan the thread in the future to make sure I’m not rehashing old material, and of course reference our LL relevance guides to not step on any toes.
He lives in Honolulu now. I had to beg my friend to ask him to go to lunch. But it was probably the first and last time I’ll get to talk to a major leaguer not in a stadium or signing.
I don't have time to hold an entire recitation every time.
We’ve talked about these points numerous times on this website. I did my best not to dismiss you out of hand but if you choose to not educate yourself, that’s not my fault.
(that’s using about 35 points of wOBA for pinch hitting penalties)
Before factoring in the platoon difference between Sweeney and Saunders, the pinch hitting penalty alone results in a difference between the two of about 42 points.
Given he has such a small MLB sample to work with, I didn’t feel comfortable figuring a wOBA for Saunders vs. LHPs (although in the last two seasons Sweeney does better vs. RHPs).
So if you can figure Sweeney will be a good 35 points better than Saunders against Fuentes (not too hard), then Sweeney should be up for Saunders.
However, putting a man on w/one out, as opposed to no outs, in the top of an extra inning in a tie game produces a WE% 10 percent lower.
Does that make up for the difference between Sweeney and Saunders? I don’t know.
I really need to plug my laptop in, but I know the moment I go upstairs, unplug the cord, bring it down here, find an outlet and plug it in, the Angels will score.
The Northeastern student section organized a “chugga chugga choo choo!” chant during a hockey game against Boston University after a BU student was killed walking across train tracks.
The ones I remember were all post-season celebrations … Denny Hocking got his hand spiked in a pile, right? Peavy messed up a rib jumping up and down … didn;t jj Hardy hurt himself in a pile, too?
There was a minor leaguer who messed up his leg doing the HR leap onto home plate.

What the fuck is wrong with this strike zone?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
That strikeout pitch was worse than the pitch before it
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Its a lumpy bumpy strike zone
Just like the girls in Texas

Abreu has fallen behind 0-2 in all three of his at-bats.
The frustration finally got to him.

This ump is an incosistent fuckface
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
God he is so awful. YOU ARE SO BAD AT YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
He probably just figures people will be too angry at the broadcasters to notice.

Screw you, Willits.

And he never will

Marinerfanjake - May 29, 2010
Aw Reggie
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
The part of you that wanted him to get his first dinger should be drowned in a bathtub
A really shallow bathtub
lemonverbena - May 29, 2010
Sometimes there are things more entertaining than wins
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I do not find Angels succeeding entertaining, ever
lemonverbena - May 29, 2010
Reggie Willits is more than an Angel
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
He's the littlest Angel
lemonverbena - May 29, 2010
Archangel?
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
That was as far as Willits has ever hit a ball, ever.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
And farther than Griffey has hit one all year.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
Does he have the same power as Figgins?
joey90 - May 29, 2010
At this point, I wouldn't bet against it.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
I would bet Figgins ends with more home runs than Griffey.
joof - May 29, 2010
Or the same amount
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
So zero for both of them?
schismatix - May 29, 2010
Willits tried to hit a homerun.
That was cute.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
"He has never hit a homerun". Right on cue.
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Felix has only missed three bats today
Matthew - May 29, 2010
He has not been too sharp
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
20 called strikes. He is befuddling them with strikes
Matthew - May 29, 2010
I wonder if the hilarious strike zone is in some convoluted way working to the pitchers' benefit!

Time for Milton to get tossed.

For what?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Screaming at this incompetent analrapist

TheBishop - May 29, 2010
No, it's rim job time.
joof - May 29, 2010
So if Milton is so much better batting from the RH side...
Why doesn’t he just bat righty?

Am I a bad Mariners fan if this game is boring the crap out of me?
Jeff Nye - May 29, 2010
Nah.

No
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
Nope.
Fox’s broadcast isn’t making it any easier.

No, this is a boring fucking game.

Crap, I forgot about the second run.
Mariners121212 - May 29, 2010
No. Weaver was never Stephen Strasburg.

That's what I thought when I heard it.
ABQmsFan - May 29, 2010
No, Jered Weaver was not Stephen Strasburg
Jeff Nye - May 29, 2010
I hear that!
katal - May 29, 2010
I remember though when he came up everyone was crazy about him.
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
Did he really just say that Weaver was Strasburg a few years ago?
Really?

Well to be fair

I Lick Squirrels - May 29, 2010
Oh cmon Milton
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Milton had to swing at it.
The umpire called it a strike just 4 pitches earlier.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
Milton getting the special strike zone again.
Fuck you umpire.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
They just try to rile him up.

Okay Loafie is encouraging.

That was the stupidest looking dive ever.

You had only Jack Murphy to compare it against

A-ha
And I was a kid when I went to the old Big A, so its all childlike wonderment.

Reporting shit that will only get ratings aka skrillz.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
You can't blame them for wanting ratings.
katal - May 29, 2010
That is blatantly untrue
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Reporting "shit" that would get ratings is smart.
MFAN - May 29, 2010
It makes money.
But angers fans who don’t live in LA, NYC, Boston or Chicago. And makes me blow the wad on special cable packages.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
ESPN MLB's top story right now is about CJ Wilson
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
The second story features the Florida Marlins
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Even Marlins fans don't care about the Marlins
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Exactly.
MLB network is good. ESPN, not so much. Thus we have to give in and pay more to get good coverage.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Lordy loo
http://espn.go.com/mlb/
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Im speaking of TV.
Even Gammons sees the errors of ESPN’s ways. He said he was retiring, then two days later went to MLB network.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
No, he said he was leaving ESPN.
He never said he was retiring
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Okay, but nonetheless jumped ship.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
That's true.
I don’t like ESPN’s over coverage of the east coast either, but it could be worse. They do a good job of covering most of the key things.
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
LA, NY, Boston and Chicago have a lot of fans who don't live in those cities.
Hence, they’re very popular teams. It makes sense for a network to cover popular subjects.
katal - May 29, 2010
Yeah espn and fox do tend to latch on to teams for a while
But seems to me it all has to do with winning, star players, etc.
I don’t really follow the NBA anymore, but I remember being so fucking sick of hearing about the Pistons and the Spurs.
They’re just reporting what’s the most popular at the moment.
Karma Police - May 29, 2010
The Mariners were all over ESPN from 2000-2003.
katal - May 29, 2010
Yeah, especially 2001
I mean the name “Ichiro” was constantly being drilled into everyone’s head 24/7. If I wasn’t a Mariners fan that would annoy the hell out of me.
Karma Police - May 29, 2010
ESPN would not shut about the Seahawks when Pete Carroll was hired.
MFAN - May 29, 2010
I'm sure it had more to do with Pete Carroll than the Seahawks.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
ESPN has a raging hard on for the city of Seattle
Matthew - May 29, 2010
And safeco
It’s pretty much mandatory to mention how much they love Safeco every time we play at home.
Karma Police - May 29, 2010
Seattle needs some love after all that's happened over the past couple years.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
Thats a product of their jerking the USC cock.
…..and Duke. According to ESPN the Pac 10 didn’t have a football season this year.

I did that from a droid.
I just opened up the regular (i.e. non-mobile) Lookout Landing page, and it auto-updated and let me rec and flag. It took a while to load, though. I guess that’s why it didn’t say “via mobile”.
Decatur - May 29, 2010
Josh Wilson is CLEARLY the utility guy when Jack comes back.
I wouldn’t mind him playing twice a week.
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
Can he play 3rd?
JBell523 - May 29, 2010
He can play short therefore he can play third
Poochie - May 29, 2010
That makes sense
JBell523 - May 29, 2010
He can't be worse than Tui.
Slow Country - May 29, 2010
Figgins can?
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
So Howie Kendrick is 26 and worse
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I thought he had matured and was posting a better BABIP
Poochie - May 29, 2010
And still confusingly black.

Kendrick, Wood and McPherson make me feel a lot better about our collection of top pitching prospects who never panned out.

No politics, Fox.
katal - May 29, 2010
Both Felix and Weaver cannot give their teams the edge.
At most, one team can have the edge. Weaver has not given the Angels the edge, since they do not have it. If, hypothetically, the did have the edge, then Felix could not have given the Mariners the edge, since they would not have it.
I Lick Squirrels - May 29, 2010
Maybe they are on a square, so there are four possible edges.
joof - May 29, 2010
This is a double-edged sword

A single-edged sword seems stupid
Matthew - May 29, 2010
A single-edged sword is an ax
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Or a Katana? A Scimitar?
A Foil has no edge. A
joof - May 29, 2010
rapier also has no edge.
joof - May 29, 2010
Do you have any useful info on coal and trains?
Matthew - May 29, 2010
The United States produces about 20%, or 1.1 billion tons, of the world's coal supply—second only to China.
Coal generates about half of the electricity used in the United States.
The United States has about a 245-year supply of coal, if it continues using coal at the same rate at which it uses coal today.
The average coal miner is 50 years old and has 20 years of experience.
Coal ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, is used as filler for tennis rackets, golf balls, and linoleum.
Each person in the United States uses 3.8 tons of coal each year.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches.
The earliest railway in Great Britain was built between October 1603 and October 1604.
The steepest Cogwheel railway in the world is in Switzerland. It has a gradient of 48%.
The highest railway station in the world is at Condor in Bolivia. It is an altitude of 4,787 metres which is three and a half times higher than Great Britain’s tallest mountain.
Every time a Virgin Pendolino train brakes they return 17 percent of electricity used back to the National Grid – enough to provide power for 11,825 homes for a year or to brew 2.6 billion cups of tea.
Around 70% of train journeys taken in Great Britain either start or finish in London.
BONUS TRAIN-VOLCANO COMBO!
The only railway to go to the top of a volcano was built on Mount Vesuvius in Italy, in 1880.

What about pirates. Or Calvary!
joof - May 29, 2010
No religion
Kermit. - May 29, 2010
Tom Cruise is the last one.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Really cuz I heard his sword cuts both ways
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
A single-edged sword cannot exist in three dimensions
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
But I just drew one!
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
I think this is the worst-announced game I've ever seen.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Catch a few White Sox games and see what you think
lemonverbena - May 29, 2010
Non-Hawk division.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
You've never watched a White Sox game.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
I have, sadly.
I must have put some sort of mental block on it.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
I wonder if the A on the mound is for Adenhart
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
That would explain the halo
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Because he is dead
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Way to go, Corco.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 29, 2010
Now it's for your hero, The Little Reggie Willits That Almost Could
lemonverbena - May 29, 2010

Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Necrogay
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Yummmmmm
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Necromosexual?
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Are you judging or agreeing?
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
Shockingly, this is a Swedish death metal band.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
I don't find that shocking
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
I'm a little surprised it isn't Norwegian
Matthew - May 29, 2010
But no, not shocked
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Ironically shocking.
Not ironically bad
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
Proof?
joof - May 29, 2010
I wish Rob Johnson would die
I think he would be more useful as a symbol for the team to rally around than as an actual player
wetzelcoal - May 29, 2010
Mike Sweeney could adopt his children!
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
NEWS FLASH!
ROB JOHNSON IS BAD.
Slow Country - May 29, 2010
Oh Michael
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Maybe Saunders should play more so he doesn't look so unready to hit when he actually does play
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Saunders looks lost against Weaver.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Weaver was getting everything earlier.
Now he can’t get anything.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
God, I hate Jarrod Weaver.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
Do you hate Jared Weaver as well?
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Dammit...
*Jered.
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Who?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
I hate him too much to bother spelling his name correctly.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
So did his parents.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
Is he ambidextrous?
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
How's Jered Washburn treat you though?
Omerta - May 29, 2010
Both Saunders and Bradley have looked terrible today
Griffey will probably be in the lineup tomorrow
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Way to be a downer, man
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Umm, lefty.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Sadly, this probably doesn't mean much.
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
What is your point
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
That Wak has played the handedness advantage in every single game this year.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Tui is starting at first today against a RHP
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Or are you just referring to LF/DH?
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Twins Rally!
JBell523 - May 29, 2010
Gogogogogogogogogo
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
My parents are at that game sitting next to a Canadian Angels fan
both rooting against the Rangers! Woo Twins!
Omerta - May 29, 2010
So we kinda got owned today.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
That "Just for Men" commercial... is it implying that buying it = sex?
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
How misleading!
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Implying? Hardly.
katal - May 29, 2010
Key message in that commercial:
If you want to avoid old age, jump out a window!
Jeff Nye - May 29, 2010
That would probably work most the time
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
depends on how high the window is.
for best results, go over three stories.
Kawnliee - May 29, 2010
How did he get back up there with the milk and just for men anyway?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
He askedt the most interesting man in the world for help.
FairWeatherFred - May 29, 2010
Right after he asked him.
FairWeatherFred - May 29, 2010
I don't think that's what irony is
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
The Fox broadcast team is starting to approach the WWE's commentators as far as inability to understand irony.
Goose - May 29, 2010
I'm not sure anyone understands irony anymore.
Or tragedy
Matthew - May 29, 2010
When the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning.
katal - May 29, 2010
When something is sad.
katal - May 29, 2010
No!
Matthew - May 29, 2010
When something sad happens from something that was completely avoidable?
Slurvey - May 29, 2010
I would say unavoidable
Matthew - May 29, 2010
But Romeo and Juliet could have not drank that fucking poison like a couple of
tweaked out goths.
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
Ehh, it depends.
If Romeo and Juliet didn’t want to bone so much, they would have been fine.
joof - May 29, 2010
How ironic.
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Irony is what happened to Gus Grissom
Came back from space, capsule hatch possibly malfunctioned, capsule sinks after landing in ocean.
So they fix the hatches to prevent this from happening in the future. A few years layer, Grissom dies in the Apollo 1 fire cause they couldn’t open the hatch in time.
Karma Police - May 29, 2010
Yeah but like 1% of the WWE audience knows what irony is anyway
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
And even fewer do it to their clothes.
(Hang head).
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
Kanekoa is growing a mustache for as long as the winning streak lasts.
Must. Win.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010

wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
There is the Felix that we all know and love.
Slow Country - May 29, 2010
I wonder if the Angels fans are getting pissed when the broadcasters are talking about how well Vlad has done
jackyz - May 29, 2010
I sure hope so.
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Yes, sort of like how we're pissed off with Silva. Except many Angels fans didn't want to see Vlad go.

Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Fuck future Jeff.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
We picked up Kazuo?
I’m glad. Can never have too much Wilson insurance.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
Another Rangers bullpen kablooey.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Technically, that was mostly the starter.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
CJ Wilson is a starter
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
4-2!!!!
Yesssssss.
JBell523 - May 29, 2010

He pitched yesterday too.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
they cloned the oringinal 4 times
Marinerfanjake - May 29, 2010

Jeff Nye - May 29, 2010
So....give us a make-up call, blue.

If Willits was safe earlier, Ichiro was definitely safe there
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Kobe!
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Osaka!
Wait, what are we playing?
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
I was talking about the Chone Figgins out
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
The biggest reason to hate bunting for a base hit is that it almost never works and makes the pitcher throw only one pitch.
Holy crap that shit is so annoying.
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Balls coming out of the runner?
Punkhazard - May 29, 2010
Of course Carlos Silva is making history.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
He is?
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Well I suppose technically speaking we're all making history
but I was referring to him being the 1st Cub starter to go 7-0 since 1934.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
To make it clear:
People are making fun of you because this has been brought up about five times in today’s gamethreads despite its complete lack of relevance.
Jeff Nye - May 29, 2010
Oh, well thanks.
Perhaps I will scan the thread in the future to make sure I’m not rehashing old material, and of course reference our LL relevance guides to not step on any toes.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
Oh my God
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
1-0 victories are one of my favorite things in baseball.
katal - May 29, 2010
Except this 1-0 game is dragging on longer than usual.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
Huh?
It started at 1. It’s one pace to be less than three hours long.
katal - May 29, 2010
But longer than 2 hours.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
"Angels lead 1-0" says Karros
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010

Whatchu talkin' about CapSea?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Let's drop some knowledge in this GT right here.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
The Angel's bats are as slow as BP's efforts to clean up their oil mess.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
The Mariners are about to have a Haitian earthquake of a rally next half inning.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Hopefully the Angels won't follow that home run up with a bad sequel like Shrek Forever After

I am uncomfortable enough for the two of us.

Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Thats great.
His real name is just as funny!
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Almost 6 WAR in 1890!
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Tui <3
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Whatever happend don't PH here.
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
Why is Tui hitting?
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
Positive regression is yummy.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Tui Offense Explosion!!!

God I hope you're ahead of me.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 29, 2010
I was being ironicastic
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Do you just make this shit up?
Kermit. - May 29, 2010
Absoprobably
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Hahaha they're talking about silva
Marinerfanjake - May 29, 2010
Jesus... I didn't think Silva had 11 SO in a typical month
johnbai - May 29, 2010
Do you think they realise that the people watching these games are M's and Halos fans?
magistermilitum - May 29, 2010
I don't think they realize they're watching a baseball game.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
I'M SO GLAD THAT MATT TUIASOSOPO IS UP TO BAT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Even the broadcasters are talking about Carlos Silva
jackyz - May 29, 2010
The blackest man on the planet is standing behind home plate
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Oh cool, I've never seen Teej
CapSea - May 29, 2010
I think that man stole my bike.
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
All I see is are shadows and a polo shirt hanging up.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
Is Sweeny broken or something?
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
I think he used too much viagra
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
He can't be more broken than Tui always is.
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
His left achilles is sore
joey90 - May 29, 2010
I hate you Tui.
MFAN - May 29, 2010
God dammit Tui...
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Tui is just fucking awful
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Uh-huh.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
God Tui sucks.
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Good thing we didn't PH for Tui.
You know, since we can’t PH for Wilson.
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Tui must be connected to the Oakland Raiders he sucks that bad.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Actually he is.
His older brother Marcus used to be the backup quarterback for the Raiders.
bigalw1414 - May 29, 2010
No way!
joof - May 29, 2010
his dad
played for the seahawks.
wobatus - May 29, 2010
Proof
bigalw1414 - May 29, 2010
I would enjoy seeing Tui behind that offensive line
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Thats the point of it, mane.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Tui is awsome!
Mostly for not GIDP there. I’ll take it.
doublemazaa - May 29, 2010
Cmon Paperboy lets fuck some shit up

You're safe!
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
I could still be right
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
You and your flawless logic.
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
Walkoff time
I Lick Squirrels - May 29, 2010
So you pinch-hit for Johnson, but not for Tui
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Wait he pinch-hit for Johnson? I missed that
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
He was on deck for Johnson
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 29, 2010
Gotchya
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
He was on deck.
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Sweeney was on deck just in case
Kermit. - May 29, 2010
Like saving Aardsma for the save situation.
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
But not Kotch or Langerhans
Wak is so stupid
tait644 - May 29, 2010
I hate WAK
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Even my Wife hates Wak.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
Clearly she's not Chinese.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
This was a flied lice joke.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
She's Japanese... well 1/2.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
Meaning...unfortunately she enunciates well enough to comprehend.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
I've seen this movie before
JBell523 - May 29, 2010
It's really hard for me to get too invested
when we are still actively not putting our best players in position to win.
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
HIT STREAK OVER
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
He'll have plenty more opportunites
JBell523 - May 29, 2010

JBell523 - May 29, 2010
WIN STREAK OVER
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
This game feels like one we were never going to win.
Walkoff time!
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Kotchman has the plague, that's the only eplanation.
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
That would explain a lot actually.
TheBishop - May 29, 2010
Langerhans too?
Slow Country - May 29, 2010
It tends to spread.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Really fast
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Felix?
Felix!
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
I have decided that I don't like Wak.
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Felix should go 10 innings assuming we don't get boned here.
ColeFitz88 - May 29, 2010
Felix goes 10!
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
But that's okay, because Felix can dial it up to 11.
Two Rs and Two Ls - May 29, 2010
Strike
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Jeff, if your prediction comes true, I will hate you
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Okay
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I need to find a better threat
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
But oh well it didn't come true
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Yet
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Don't
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Please
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
This is the worst subthread in the history of Lookout Landing.

tait644 - May 29, 2010
Complete game loss? We're getting good at those.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
As opposed to....
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
A complete game Win. "???"
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
Cliff threw one earlier this year.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
Nevermind I misunderstood.
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
Just turned the game on. Holy shit, Felix: 72 strikes, 38 balls.
stredarts - May 29, 2010
Nope
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
We are off to a good start.

katal - May 29, 2010
These divisional games coming up are causing some high anxiety
Kermit. - May 29, 2010
Okay get Felix out of there.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Ah shit
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
I mean yess
C-Nage - May 29, 2010
WE at 29%
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
What THEY at?
CapSea - May 29, 2010
71%
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
71%?
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
He wasn't being serious.
joey90 - May 29, 2010
Argh. I hate real answers.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
I see your joke and raise you literal interpretation
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
If it's a fight you want...
CapSea - May 29, 2010
ONLY I MAY MAKE JOKES
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Then you should do a better job so I don't need to pick up the slack.

Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
We are a hilarious people.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Yay. Leadoff walk
Game over.
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Why leave him in at all? Our whole bullpen minus Aardsma is rested
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Kelley
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Oh yeah
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
I would imagine Felix pushed for it.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
I WISH SEAN WHITE WAS HERE
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Here comes Sean White!!
tait644 - May 29, 2010
I have good news for you...

BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
I would LOVE to but I forgot I had to go play in traffic for a little bit.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
This game needs more Sean White
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Yay League!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Nice play League.
Awful bunt
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
We are
The League
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
Whoops!
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Fuck you, Ken-drick!
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
You have to put down a horrific bunt to not actually advance the runner
Gihyou - May 29, 2010
Good sign!
Felix has a towel on his head!
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Only works when we are batting.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
But we can't walkoff...
joey90 - May 29, 2010
Yes we can
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Sî se puede?
joey90 - May 29, 2010
We come again?
tait644 - May 29, 2010
The towel on head play wasn't a walkoff
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Maybe he'll bomb the Angel's dugout.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Not a suicide bomb though
Please? :(
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Just send Tui in there.
joey90 - May 29, 2010
Bad sign!
Guti might not bat next inning.
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Wooooooooooooooo League!
Slurvey - May 29, 2010
LEAGUE!!!
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
He doesn't look nearly as "Wild Thing" menacing with the contacts.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
Brandon League is a fucking good pitcher
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Nice work League!
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
Nice hold
Mr. League
superkid20 - May 29, 2010
This isn't football
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
I don't think you get a "hold" without the lead.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
What the hell is a hold anyways?
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
A stat designed solely for fantasy baseball.
katal - May 29, 2010
Ichiro is up third!!!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
More baseball! Baseball!!
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
I'd let League rub it on me
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Would you touch it? I might. It depends
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
His member is probably horrifyingly goofy.
Decatur - May 29, 2010
Why rub it on you when he could rub one out on you?
katal - May 29, 2010
Ew
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I took League to lunch with a mutual friend this summer.
He ordered a salad. Don’t ask why I paid. It was even before we traded for him. He’s good guy, typical local guy.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
*Winter
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
He's local?
katal - May 29, 2010
He's local somewhere
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Sorry.
He lives in Honolulu now. I had to beg my friend to ask him to go to lunch. But it was probably the first and last time I’ll get to talk to a major leaguer not in a stadium or signing.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Hawaii news channels love the "local guys." In other words Victorino is God.
The did a great piece on Kanekoa Texiera.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Thank goodness the Cubs game ended.
Now the Mariners are on here.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
Carlos Silva?!?
joey90 - May 29, 2010
I love me some Brandon League.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
God forbid Felix should get a win, or anything.
msb - May 29, 2010
So a no-decision for Felix, huh?
Dammit.
sanford_and_son - May 29, 2010
Pinch hit for Saunders?
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
How about we pinch-hit for Johnson first?
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
That inning feature the Angels sending out the kind of hitters we've had to rely on.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
I want Saunders to go back to 2009 for one at-bat
and drag-bunt to get on.
IlliniM - May 29, 2010
Because bunt hitting has been working so well for us today
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
Fuentes!
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Look at that stache!
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
Fuentes!
Chance!
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
FUENTES LOOKS LIKE MARIO!!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Holy shit.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Wow.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
This is really throwing me off.
I can’t focus at all.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
It's A Meee! Fuentes!
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Woo Fuentes!
Time to score some runs up in this bitch!
I Lick Squirrels - May 29, 2010
I blame my dad for Tui's suckiness.
We were on the same Tee-ball team and my Dad was the coach…
bigalw1414 - May 29, 2010
Oh, shit yeah it is absolutely your dad's fault.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
No, it's my fault
I haven’t been in the gamethreads lately and we’ve scored five or more in each game.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
It's hard to learn how to take a ball
when the tee is always in the strike zone.
bigalw1414 - May 29, 2010
Rob Johnson
A hero for our times.
Decatur - May 29, 2010
So now we decide to keep Johnson in the game?
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Why would you pinch hit for him now?
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Sweeney is a better hitter?
As is Langerhans?
As is Kotch?
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Against Brian Fuentes?
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Griifey!
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Sorry - I was thinking K-Rod part II was still in the game
Still, putting Sweeney in for Johnson would have been the better play
tait644 - May 29, 2010
For the one PA, sure.
There’s a greater context though. Removing Rob Johnson in a low leverage PA is a waste
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Why is it a low-leverage AB?
How much would getting a man on change WE?
tait644 - May 29, 2010
You get to use Mike Sweeney once.
You want to use him with no runners on base?
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Yes
I’d imagine putting a man on in that situation would be pretty huge.
tait644 - May 29, 2010
It would have been far better to use him for Saunders
should Johnson have reached. Read up on pinch hitting penalties and platoon splits
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Good grief your snark gets old
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Thankfully there are other Mariner blogs for you where Matthew does not post.
katal - May 29, 2010
I don't have time to hold an entire recitation every time.
We’ve talked about these points numerous times on this website. I did my best not to dismiss you out of hand but if you choose to not educate yourself, that’s not my fault.
Matthew - May 29, 2010
WE is ~10% greater if you get the leadoff man on
in extra innings.
tait644 - May 29, 2010
What's the wOBA advantage of a cold Sweeney over Johnson there?
What’s the wOBA advantage of a cold Sweeney over Saunders?
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
~77 points for Sweeney over Johnson
(that’s using about 35 points of wOBA for pinch hitting penalties)
Before factoring in the platoon difference between Sweeney and Saunders, the pinch hitting penalty alone results in a difference between the two of about 42 points.
Given he has such a small MLB sample to work with, I didn’t feel comfortable figuring a wOBA for Saunders vs. LHPs (although in the last two seasons Sweeney does better vs. RHPs).
So if you can figure Sweeney will be a good 35 points better than Saunders against Fuentes (not too hard), then Sweeney should be up for Saunders.
However, putting a man on w/one out, as opposed to no outs, in the top of an extra inning in a tie game produces a WE% 10 percent lower.
Does that make up for the difference between Sweeney and Saunders? I don’t know.
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Wak probably doesn't feel comfortable putting a rookie behind the plate if they don't score.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
Alfonzo is not a rookie
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
No, no he is not.
Well that’s embarrassing.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
Fuck you
Rob Johnson
hawkfanadam - May 29, 2010

Rob Johnson sucks
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Wooo Twins!

Oh boy Saunders vs. Fuentes
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Rob Johnson: 0'fer life.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
Saunders is going to get destroyed
Slurvey - May 29, 2010
STOP FUCKING BUNTING
Kawnliee - May 29, 2010
WHY ALL THE BUNTING
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
Aww tried the drag-bunt...
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
So, 3 attempted bunts for base hits in the last 2 innings
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
100% failure rate!
BrettJMiller - May 29, 2010
STOP BUNTING
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Like he has a prayer by swinging
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Good god
Fuentes’ delivery pisses me off so much
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
Bad condor.
hawkfanadam - May 29, 2010
Let's go 30 inning game
Corco - May 29, 2010
I have an evening planned entirely around waffles, and I don't want this game to interfere.
katal - May 29, 2010
What are waffles to you?
joey90 - May 29, 2010
A light, crisp battercake.
katal - May 29, 2010
That does sound magical
Corco - May 29, 2010
Is there chicken involved too?
sanford_and_son - May 29, 2010
No. =(
katal - May 29, 2010
There better be peanut butter involved as well.
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
There is now!
Good call.

Can't walk-off.
Though I’d like the idea.

I really need to plug my laptop in, but I know the moment I go upstairs, unplug the cord, bring it down here, find an outlet and plug it in, the Angels will score.

At least then you won't witness it.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
This game needs to end before we have to call up Sean White.

Good god. Just when you think you've seen the worst umpiring imaginable this happens.
faceplant_04 - May 29, 2010
A borderline ball being called a strike?
I think I’ve seen worse.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Wasn't borderline.
Coach Owens - May 29, 2010
Yes, it absolutely was.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Great Fox announcer gem
If Ichiro gets .41 of a hit here, he’ll match his career average of hits per game today.
doublemazaa - May 29, 2010
Ichiro is a angry guy.
I love the look on his face when he strikes out looking, its like he is burning the umps face into his mind so he can fuck him up after the game.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
I don't think of him as an angry guy
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
He's intense, like all great players
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
Doesn't make him angry
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
.
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
His nose looks huge in that shot.
katal - May 29, 2010
I think it's just the light!
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Just wait until the day Hello Kitty Snaps a bat over the "you are clrearrry blind" umpires head.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
I don't noramally.
But he is japanese, I’m sure its pent up somewhere.
Have you seen a angry japanese? Its their nature to be polite.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
Yes
Its not something you want to be within 100 miles of.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
wow
stredarts - May 29, 2010
My Wife is not a calm woman & her grandmother was worse.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
I believe you're thinking of Canadians.

wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Everybody crap your pants.
crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap
CapSea - May 29, 2010
That ball went further than I liked it to go.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
farther
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
I'm confused now.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
Wut?
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
I think it's farther.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Further from the truth, farther down the road.
Kermit. - May 29, 2010
just a little
hawkfanadam - May 29, 2010
Yay Desperate Housewives is on!
ttotmax - May 29, 2010
Based on what little I have seen today?
Either I have really bad baseball karma today, or they are playing like crap.
msb - May 29, 2010
Ok, so it wasn't me.
I turned on my movie. ..
msb - May 29, 2010
I thought that was gone
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
This is encouraging
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Sporcle time!

Fuck it.....
0-6 in extras

Freaking Izturis
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
This can't be ending well.
Heydude - May 29, 2010
God damnit.
We’re gonna lose.
TWownsU - May 29, 2010
Time to throw some unhittable pitches in the strike zone.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Cleanup hitter Reggie Willits!
Gihyou - May 29, 2010
I just realized this.
What the I don’t even..
JBell523 - May 29, 2010
Hey, Willits walkoff.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Good call on walking Abreu
A rare good decision by Wak.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
He makes a majority of good decisions
Matthew - May 29, 2010
yep
ttotmax - May 29, 2010
Was that even a decision?
It’s pretty much given that he/anybody would do that in this situation to set up the DP.
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Is it too much to ask for a ground ball?
hawkfanadam - May 29, 2010
Guess you should have been more specific
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Success.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Shit. Willits is gonna walk off. Should have not hit the impostor.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Whatchu talkin' about Willits.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
That actually made me laugh out loud.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Gary Coleman died yesterday
jackyz - May 29, 2010
Yeahhh that's the point of the joke.
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
WHAT?!
CapSea - May 29, 2010
The imposter?
Matthew - May 29, 2010
Hunter's reference to black latino players.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
I'm scared.
krb - May 29, 2010
Willits is gonna hit his first career home run right here and now
Alto - May 29, 2010
Catch the fucking ball Rob

That was great.
schismatix - May 29, 2010
OH COME THE FUCK ON
Brian Floyd - May 29, 2010
Figgins is still playing for the Angels.
Wilder. - May 29, 2010

Zonis - May 29, 2010
Poetic.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
Go to hell Figgins
The Beer Baron - May 29, 2010
Okay fucking release Figgins.
God damnit you cocksucking piece of shit you just cost us the game.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010

Walk off grand slam.

SUCK. MY. BALLS>

OH MY GOD
Alto - May 29, 2010
Ugh
what a fucking awful game

That was unnecessary.
Talk about overkill!

Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
HA!

You found yet another way to painfully lose a game.

Ahahahahahahaha

BAHAHAHAHAHA!
joof - May 29, 2010
Bye

WAIT, WHO GOT HURT!?!?!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Morales
magistermilitum - May 29, 2010
Morales injured!
bigalw1414 - May 29, 2010
Oh wow, that's a new one.

BLEW OUT HIS KNEE CELEBRATING?
Maury Povich - May 29, 2010
AHAHAHAHAHAHA They hurt him in the walk off pile!

Hahahaha Morales is injured!!!!
jackyz - May 29, 2010
BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Rowsdower - May 29, 2010
Brandon League isn't remotely as cool as he was hyped up to be
Rudy4three - May 29, 2010
He did get the grounder.
That Figgins couldn’t handle.
magistermilitum - May 29, 2010
Only gave up three rockets in the inning
Rudy4three - May 29, 2010
*Also
Rudy4three - May 29, 2010
That is fucking hilarious
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Wow
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
He hurt himself celebrating?
I feel a little bit better now, I dunno about you guys.
Heydude - May 29, 2010
Actually yeah
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Karma bitch
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
IT MAKES ME FEEL MUCH BETTER!
HUNTER AND MORALES HURT!!??! BAHAAHHAAHA
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
MFAN - May 29, 2010
Well at least there's a silver lining...
TWownsU - May 29, 2010
This is so great
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Time to go to halos heaven and read their reaction.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
No, no it is not
Corco - May 29, 2010
No
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Don't visit that site for any reason, ever.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Absolutely not
Decatur - May 29, 2010
I disagree
I actually think its fun reading the other teams comments.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
Halos Heaven is the rectal wart of SBN.
Don’t give them site traffic.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Kind of hard to believe that
When we are cheering when someone got hurt. I love the Mariners, but I don’t know cheering for a injury seems wrong.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
You should trust me on this one.
I’m a doctor.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
Nobody cheered for an injury, we cheered when an injury happened
Big difference
Corco - May 29, 2010
Alright good point.
LeftArrow2 - May 29, 2010
Also, Halos Heaven is the worst blog on SBN.
It is legitimately terrible.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
I have insanely low standards and find Hawk Harrelson to be greatly appealing
and I think Halos Heaven is the worst thing ever
Corco - May 29, 2010
This is true in almost every instance besides Halos Heaven
Corco - May 29, 2010
Absolutely.
I particularly enjoy masochistic fanbases that mimic our own, like found at royalsreview and lonestarball.
Omerta - May 29, 2010
I give some credit to Royals Review for the fact that I love Kansas City, both the city and the team
Corco - May 29, 2010
Yes, RR is fun.
joof - May 29, 2010
WE WIN!
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
jeez...walkoff grand slam
that’s a memory those fans will have for a lifetime
Seishi - May 29, 2010
Bill Grammatica is chuckling right now.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
That's what you get, Crab-Angels.
katal - May 29, 2010
WE WIN!
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Karma is a bitch Kendry
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
I don't know if I should be happy or sad
We lost but Angels hurt Morales (literally)
Allen Wu - May 29, 2010
Torn ACL
Those stupid jump-a-thons might have just seen their last day. Good riddance
tait644 - May 29, 2010
Morales just one-upped Rob Johnson's injury from celebrating Ichiro's walkoff last year.
svart aske - May 29, 2010
I hope this happens to Nelson Cruz as well
oscartehgrouch - May 29, 2010
This is the best loss ever
Alto - May 29, 2010
Is he hurt badly?
Rudy4three - May 29, 2010
I never wish injury on any athlete...
unless they play for the Angels.
FUCK YOU, TORII.
FUCK YOU, MORALES!
BHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
I wish injury when it benefits the Mariners.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Fingers crossed Griffey does his back in!
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Fingers crossed Rob Johnson gets a shot to the scrotum. Wait....
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
I never wish injury on any athlete.
But if they get injured, it feels like it’s fair game to cheer.
katal - May 29, 2010
I am still laughing
At least he didn’t die
ambrosia2112 - May 29, 2010
They could always sacrifice him.
w00tah - May 29, 2010
now its ...
a wheel off in a stretcher grand slam
Seishi - May 29, 2010
That was awesome.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
JOKES ON YOU BITCHES
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Bwaaahahahahahahahahahahaha
we won. You lose fuckers.
PLU Tim - May 29, 2010
Guess he isn't walking off
Matthew - May 29, 2010
HAHAHA
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
It's a shame that he managed to touch home plate.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Lose the battle, win the war.
katal - May 29, 2010
This is my favorite ending of the season
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I second this.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
We should lose like this every time we play a division rival.
FairWeatherFred - May 29, 2010
I went from mad to laughing in five seconds!
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
What the heck happened?
msb - May 29, 2010
Kendry hits walk off grand slam
Hurt himself celebrating Grammatica style.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
I see that now-- looks like they are blowing up one of those inflatable casts
msb - May 29, 2010
They're still there.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Some sort of ankle injury apparently.
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
This is the best ending of all time.
Brian Floyd - May 29, 2010
A limp off grand slam.
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
GAME/SEASON FUCKING OVER.
Just kidding…….not really.
sanford_and_son - May 29, 2010
Could be. An air cast isn't a good thing.
tait644 - May 29, 2010
EWWW, it was broke..you see that?
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
Really?
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
On the replay people were hitting his leg and it was bending funny.
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
Yay!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
How embarrassing
krb - May 29, 2010
Air Cast!
That motherfucker is broken.
Bwaaaahahahahahahahahaha
PLU Tim - May 29, 2010
I am so fucking happy right now!
Wilder. - May 29, 2010
Looks like a broken ankle
Damn.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
First Adenhart, now this...
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
How ironic would it be if Nick Adenhart went to hell?
flashbeak - May 29, 2010
Where exactly did you assume Halos Heaven was located?
CapSea - May 29, 2010
I'm not sure
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
It's like playing Madden in the 90's. "Oh shit, here comes the Ambulance" Ha Ha Ha
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I love it
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
So I guess his leg suffered a grand slam
Alto - May 29, 2010
This is not going to help our relationship with HH
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Fuck them
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
It was probably irrepairable anyway
Gihyou - May 29, 2010
Oops.
CapSea - May 29, 2010
We need a special thread about this cart-off grandslam.
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
I second this.
Complete with pictures, captions, and .gifs!
wyte_lightning - May 29, 2010
Need some GIFs ASAP!
This is simply amazing.
sanford_and_son - May 29, 2010
Was this really something we were working to repair?
Torrid - May 29, 2010
So what happened with Figgins that caused Twitter-distress?
msb - May 29, 2010
Error
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
He booted a ball the prevoius play
Might have been a DP, would have been at least one out.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
Ah.
He really doesn’t seem to have enjoyed the transition away from his first team.
msb - May 29, 2010
Quick question, if Figgins doesn't boot that grounder, would he have had a shot at a double play?
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Not with Willits running
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
No
But maybe we pitch Morales differently and less aggressively.
skywaker9 - May 29, 2010
True
BRKLN M'S - May 29, 2010
Excellent work on that grounder Chone!
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
In hindsight I kind of don't mind that it happened.
katal - May 29, 2010
It really worked out for the best.
Big Jared - May 29, 2010
No.
We could have won if he didn’t make that error. It in no way worked out for the best.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Bigger picture
chrees - May 29, 2010
Morales might be out for quite awhile
Which might benefit us more in the long run than one win (without doing any actual research or statistical analysis)
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Also we still probably would have lost this game
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
2 outs, runners on second and third
hardly an automatic loss. Angels may be hurt but are they going to be the real threat this year anyway? I’d take the win over this any day.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Our WE would certainly still have been well below 50%
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
Yes, that is not an automatic loss.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Where did I say automatic loss
Griffin Cooper - May 29, 2010
It also hurts the Angels.
Even if we tank, trade Lee and struggle to finish above a .450 WP, I’ll be happy if the Angels end the season in third place.
katal - May 29, 2010
This is true. Fuck the Angels.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I HOPE TORII IS ALSO OUT WITH A BROKEN WRIST TOO!!!!
IlliniM - May 29, 2010
Think of how many birthdays Felix saved.
w00tah - May 29, 2010
We really did take them down with us.
MFAN - May 29, 2010
They did this to themselves!
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
It was their fault they needed a walk-off too
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
They already x-rayed, just a bruise.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
aw...
Oh well, tommorow snell has a good shot at pitching well
IlliniM - May 29, 2010
Is it still called a walk-off?
or do we get to replay the inning?
MarkE - May 29, 2010
If he didn't touch home, it would have been a walkoff triple, since he had aready touched third.
Though he was collapsed on home, so I’m guessing he touched it.
joof - May 29, 2010
For shame
First grand slam completed by player touching home plate with his arse?
MarkE - May 29, 2010
See
now this is a fun loss.
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
I was pissed when he hit it
And I’ve been giggling like a school girl ever since.
Brian Floyd - May 29, 2010
If we get swept by the Rangers next week in the same manner that we lost today, this will be the best summer.
katal - May 29, 2010
The game thread sure did suck though.
joof - May 29, 2010
Yes
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Sorry boss
Poochie - May 29, 2010
I wish we could lose like that every day
OlSalty - May 29, 2010
Oh totally
Poochie - May 29, 2010
Bucky Jacobsen in a suit?
What?
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
How big a suit?
msb - May 29, 2010
Bear Suit!
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Hey, think of it this way Figgins makes that play & they keep Morales for the rest of the year.
He’s their best power hitter, almost makes them look like us without the pitching. Now we just need Chone to VooDoo something up for Vlade.
DHforHOF - May 29, 2010
There's a wild bear on the loose in the Q13 studio.
Janic - May 29, 2010
Fuck you Chone
Poochie - May 29, 2010
League
Gives up a lot of homers for a groundball guy. But gb guys tend to have a high hr/fb ratio. I think.
wobatus - May 29, 2010
This injury would have been better if the Angels were good this year
jackyz - May 29, 2010
Any word on Torii's hand?
msb - May 29, 2010
They said just a bruise.
X-rays were negative.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
ok, thanks
msb - May 29, 2010
Not broken, unfortunately.
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
He died
jackyz - May 29, 2010
The inability to touch himself was just too much to bear.
tintin - May 29, 2010
Look on the bright side....
No matter what, Kendry Morales will be having a better week than Gary Coleman.
PLU Tim - May 29, 2010
Gary Coleman is injury free.

Death is kind of an injury
bluemax - May 29, 2010
Surely he'll feel better in a few days.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
Look on the bright side
He can’t have complications from this stage.
Morales, on the other hand could have all kinds of subsequent hospital-based horror to follow.
MarkE - May 29, 2010
Could get worse still, ala, Mike Modano
Fast forward to 1:16
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
I remember this. Good times.
Although he was the captain of my country at one point.

I haven't felt this well about losing in a while
Slurvey - May 29, 2010
You guys are a special breed
Carl Johnson - May 29, 2010
Any team's fans ever would have celebrated about this.
Fuckmikereilly - May 29, 2010
Thanks, troll.
Feel free leave and drive your Volvo around the Valley some more.

Thanks babe.

Thank you!

I don't want to read a blog about teams you like, written by you.
katal - May 29, 2010
Wait until this hits ESPN.
ThundaPC - May 29, 2010
I like to think so

You went to Northeastern
The Northeastern student section organized a “chugga chugga choo choo!” chant during a hockey game against Boston University after a BU student was killed walking across train tracks.
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
That's even worse than what we're doing!
katal - May 29, 2010
To be fair given the opportunity I'm sure we would have risen to the challenge
Fett42 - May 29, 2010
BU sucks
I’m not particularly opposed to your mocking of Kendry in general…you guys are just dedicated.
Carl Johnson - May 29, 2010
This community has demonstrated a peerless ability to kill a good joke
Jeff Sullivan - May 30, 2010
After spending the last two minutes trying to Microsoft Art an image of Kendry Morales with a broken leg, I have given up. Someone else can do it.

CapSea - May 29, 2010
Wait, that's wrong.

It's a plethora of diversity but I don't see any Asians
Corco - May 29, 2010
*cornucopia
Corco - May 29, 2010
Bottom right might be south asian
Matthew - May 29, 2010
I can see that
Corco - May 29, 2010
We have a black friend!
katal - May 29, 2010
Kinda looks like Aybar.
kentroyals5 - May 29, 2010
Lets see
The ones I remember were all post-season celebrations … Denny Hocking got his hand spiked in a pile, right? Peavy messed up a rib jumping up and down … didn;t jj Hardy hurt himself in a pile, too?
There was a minor leaguer who messed up his leg doing the HR leap onto home plate.
msb - May 29, 2010
Tagg Bozied.
tore his pateller tendon.
msb - May 29, 2010
Did Morales hurt himself or was he stomped on?
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
Hurt Himself....
because he’s a communist. He should be learning how to walk again in 10-12 months.
PLU Tim - May 29, 2010
No politics, please
Matt Erickson - May 29, 2010
It's probably in everybody's best interests that nobody from LL reads HH and nobody from HH reads LL right now
Jeff Sullivan - May 29, 2010
Isn't that always the case?
Eyeball Kid - May 29, 2010
Apparently one can be red AND dead.
Tyler is a G - May 29, 2010
I thought Alexi Ramirez was the cuban missile?
Does this nickname apply to any Cuban position player?
