If he invented a cigarette that was 100% healthy and I was allowed to smoke anywhere and it didn’t stink and it was cheap and it was made and grown locally, then I might love him.
These fan gauges are proving very useful to me right now and I thank you.
After getting the MLB package down here in LA, I’m making my roommate from Tacoma watch all the M’s games. He’s a fan but he doesn’t really know baseball all that well but I’m trying to learn him. One of his main questions when he hears about a new player is “how much do you like him?”
I am a political consultant and I deal with a lot of polling and various surveys. In nearly every one someone says they would vote for Mickey Mouse or the issue they're most concerned is the lack of cup cakes, or something equally as stupid.
Franklin Gutierrez is incredible. I have never loved a player like I love Franklin Gutierrez. I hope Franklin Gutierrez never leaves us, as I would cry.
I've never met him, I know nothing about his personal habits.
He may be a nag, pick his nose, eat crackers in bed, and leave his dirty clothes in heaps on the floor. I have not a clue as to any of this. However I am familiar with all the peccadillos of the people I actually do love. Believe me buster, it’s easy to love the imaginary Gutierrez.
I bet there's going to be a lot of dissent in this thread
seattlebruin - May 3, 2010
I bet you're wrong!
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
Haha, nothing but love votes so far! Awesome.
sanford_and_son - May 3, 2010
Real controversial, Jeff.
abender20 - May 3, 2010
FUCK YOU GRIFFEY
Jeff Sullivan - May 3, 2010
Now we're cooking.
abender20 - May 3, 2010
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
seattlebruin - May 3, 2010
I know :(
abender20 - May 3, 2010
Holy crap
Jeff Sullivan - May 3, 2010
hahahahahahahahahahaha
greymstreet - May 3, 2010
We are all brainwashed zombies.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2010
I propose that puppies are cute as well
OlSalty - May 3, 2010
Kittens additionally
appleshampoo - May 3, 2010
Puppies have the worst smelling breath on the face of this Earth.
JLProck - May 3, 2010
Doesn't make them less cute.
Mariner John - May 3, 2010
It does if that particular breath makes you throw up in your mouth a little bit every time you smell it.
JLProck - May 3, 2010
Hippos.
Eyeball Kid - May 3, 2010
How many hippos have you been face-to-face with?
JLProck - May 3, 2010
I'm just always reminded of
This episode of QI where they discuss hippos.
Eyeball Kid - May 3, 2010
I think the results of this poll should be made into an image and sidebarred for future Guti-love.
Chris Hafner - May 3, 2010
I got a screenshot of the last vote before the "Like" vote.
RunningFool - May 3, 2010
Please share.
greymstreet - May 3, 2010
Do with this what you will
RunningFool - May 3, 2010
Desktop background
:) Happy panda, I am.
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
Excellent!
Chris Hafner - May 3, 2010
There's something graphically appropriate about that image.
hejuk - May 3, 2010
Someone always has to be a retard and ruin it
OlSalty - May 3, 2010
It was Baker.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
Love
With all my heart.
ScottBrowne - May 3, 2010 via mobile
SOMEONE VOTE LIKE
That person needs to be tarred and feathered
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
*VOTED
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
I voted like.
If he invented a cigarette that was 100% healthy and I was allowed to smoke anywhere and it didn’t stink and it was cheap and it was made and grown locally, then I might love him.
Sec 108 - May 3, 2010
You have weird criteria for love
DrunkAmerican - May 3, 2010
I'm fairly confident everything I do is out of the ordinary.
That is how I know it isn’t wrong.
Sec 108 - May 3, 2010
Whoever just voted 'like'
I hope you’re proud of yourself
Graham MacAree - May 3, 2010
Which one of you bovine rapists picked "Like"?
Come forward now and receive swift swift justice.
abender20 - May 3, 2010
I did
Sec 108 - May 3, 2010
It is a pure love
royalcurve - May 3, 2010
Two people now
Attention two people: I hope your significant other leaves you for Franklin Gutierrez
Graham MacAree - May 3, 2010
Preferably at the same time.
abender20 - May 3, 2010
Was it you?!?
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2010
A girl can dream
abender20 - May 3, 2010
What dumb pieces of shit could have any problem with the beauty that is Guti?
:(
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
FUCKING TROLLS
Cantu Easley Winn - May 3, 2010
These fan gauges are proving very useful to me right now and I thank you.

With these polls it makes it a lot easier.
Kenny Knows Sports - May 3, 2010
So we appear to still be hovering around that 5% retardation level
OlSalty - May 3, 2010
Those are probably those who can't ever admit they "love" anything
and do the awkward back pat in lieu of a man hug.
msb - May 3, 2010
Anything less than love is grounds for heads rolling.
JY - May 3, 2010
A friend who disdains the giveaways did opine that she would take a Guti poster.
msb - May 3, 2010
You're talking about the shirtless Guti poster, right?
TrustBaseball - May 3, 2010
Stop it. The Little League poster for next week.
msb - May 3, 2010
No teasing.
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
There needs to be an additional level above Love for this poll
To see how many people would answer that they want to have sex with Gutierrez.
ARock - May 3, 2010
Excellent point.
Jeff?
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
.
DrunkAmerican - May 3, 2010
This picture makes him look like a douchebag.
And it burns me to say so.
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
Yeah, I am not fond of this photo
royalcurve - May 3, 2010
He looks like the gay love-child of Ricky Martin and Dolph Lundgren...
In this particular picture.
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
Holy shit! You are right.
“I must la vida loca you.”
Rich Langford - May 3, 2010
How could you look at this and have the word "like" come to mind?
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
That crooked, lazy looking grin gets me every time
royalcurve - May 3, 2010
Much better!
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
So far I love Guti and Fister!
MFAN - May 3, 2010
I sat behind a young lady who had made her own I ♥ Doug Fister shirt
msb - May 3, 2010
She's my hero. I want that shirt.
MFAN - May 3, 2010
It was very nice.
She took a long sleeved cotton t-shirt, and in two colors of glittery fabric paint wrote Fister and 58 on the back and “I ♥ D.F.” on the front.
msb - May 3, 2010
That would have been awkward if the end of the top bar on the "F" ran a little bit.
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
Pister?
Is pister a thing?
RunningFool - May 3, 2010
Oh that F.
It’s a double penetration joke.
RunningFool - May 3, 2010
Yep, yep
That it is
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
Well at least we've proven Matthew right about some small percentage voting as stupidly as possible on purpose
seattlebruin - May 3, 2010
Someone voted hate
I am going to find out who they are and flay them
Graham MacAree - May 3, 2010
Two people are now getting flayed.
JY - May 3, 2010
That's fucking bullshit
royalcurve - May 3, 2010
Ban their IP addresses.
ARock - May 3, 2010
Maybe they are players who have been robbed of home runs and/or extra-base hits
Gihyou - May 3, 2010
At least you have goals.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 3, 2010
To whoever voted that they hate this beautiful man...
Thank you for proving that no matter how great the community is, there will always be an idiot that thinks he’s funny and actually isn’t.
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
Loving Guti is serious business around here.
JY - May 3, 2010
I think the hate votes are obviously born out of the fear of the homosexual feelings they have created in the voter.
Rich Langford - May 3, 2010
More evidence (as if it was needed)
here and here
msb - May 3, 2010
Those are both amazing shots.
royalcurve - May 3, 2010
He is a handsome man.
b_rider - May 3, 2010
Anyone else see it?
I Lick Squirrels - May 3, 2010
My longtime desktop image at work
is Guti double high fiving Endy as he crosses home plate.
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
How many different goatee styles has Guti rocked so far?
I noticed he is clean shaven now.
sanford_and_son - May 3, 2010
I am a political consultant and I deal with a lot of polling and various surveys. In nearly every one someone says they would vote for Mickey Mouse or the issue they're most concerned is the lack of cup cakes, or something equally as stupid.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
Nothing is equal in stupidity to not voting "love" for Gutierrez.
Noah Jarosh - May 3, 2010
No politics
Jeff Sullivan - May 3, 2010
I, for one, am proud of the M's lack of Cupcakes.
Faux - May 3, 2010
I'm with you.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
They traded the cupcakes to KC last season...
with a cupcake consumption device thrown in for G.P.
Ike Clanton - May 3, 2010
Wow I did not not that I was so close to the line with that.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
I was joking
Jeff Sullivan - May 3, 2010
Oh good. I would like to stay out of trouble. I like it here.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
Who the fuck voted hate?
joof - May 3, 2010
I can only imagine it's fans of other teams trolling.
There’s absolutely no way a Mariners fan could hate Franklin Gutierrez.
Eyeball Kid - May 3, 2010
People on or in need of serious medication.
TrustBaseball - May 3, 2010
Justin Smoak?
msb - May 3, 2010
Oh, wait that was the OTHER Outfield God.
msb - May 3, 2010
People who want you to think that he's not great...
…in hopes that you’ll leave him alone. Then they’ll have him all to themselves.
groovewrangler - May 3, 2010
Flying things.
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
Hate Franklin Gutierrez =/= Mariners Fan
Such things are mutually exclusive.
Matt Erickson - May 3, 2010
There obviously have to be baseball players that read this blog
and voted hate because Guti has robbed them of a home run or a double into the gap.
seattle_since_81 - May 3, 2010
I'm just assuming they're Angels fans
MT Olson - May 3, 2010
Franklin Gutierrez is incredible. I have never loved a player like I love Franklin Gutierrez. I hope Franklin Gutierrez never leaves us, as I would cry.
And 2 of you fuckers just made my list
Griffin Cooper - May 3, 2010
Three.
JY - May 3, 2010
GOD
Eyeball Kid - May 3, 2010
Goddamn 4 fucking people really?
the other side - May 3, 2010
I think the people of LL are unaware of how painful real love actually is.
You are all actually in masturbatory infatuation land.
Sec 108 - May 3, 2010
Guilty as charged.
Faux - May 3, 2010
And how!
Faux - May 3, 2010
This isn't Felix we are talking about.
Robert - May 3, 2010
Love is painful when you recognize the imperfections.
Guti has no faults.
MT Olson - May 3, 2010
Since April 20th, Guti is 8-for-43
We know how painful love is.
JY - May 3, 2010
So you're saying Byrnes had something to do with this slump?
Brian Floyd - May 3, 2010
No.
I’m saying Hitler did.
JY - May 3, 2010
I've never met him, I know nothing about his personal habits.
He may be a nag, pick his nose, eat crackers in bed, and leave his dirty clothes in heaps on the floor. I have not a clue as to any of this. However I am familiar with all the peccadillos of the people I actually do love. Believe me buster, it’s easy to love the imaginary Gutierrez.
Kermit. - May 3, 2010
Now don't get me wrong. I am not saying voting love is wrong.
I am saying that freaking out that I only voted like is a bit retarded and your bib needs to be replaced from the excessive drooling.
Sec 108 - May 3, 2010
Well, that part I get. Guess I got a bit defensive there.
I’m gonna go look at that picture of Joe Mauer and Hannahan some more.
Kermit. - May 3, 2010
There's 5 people that need an execution
And the 6 that voted “no opinion” suck, too.
