I was kicking around a USSM post about how much I hated the Rally Fries and everything they demonstrate what’s wrong with broadcasts. Then one day I was in a meeting and going to project a document, but Word/Windows corrupted everything and my doc showed up with a huge chunk of rally fry hatred before the actual release coordination stuff.
I was horrified, it was totally unprofessional. And people were like “yeah, I hate Rally Fries too!”
He knows nothing about any sport other than NBA basketball.
The other day a caller asked if he knew what a circle change was. He said (and I paraphrase) “Grow some balls and don’t ask about stupid things that make no sense – You can fool a lot of people, but not me.”
That we should avoid getting mad about rally fries all over again.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate how people with rally fry signs get attention while much more creative signs from classic baseball fans are ignored. That sucks. My point was that who cares about all the stupid promotions or peripheral shit when your team is winning? Constantly playing Zombie Nation, or Who Let the Dogs Out is annoying, but it also was an after thought when your excited about the team and the game itself. Our team is so annoying right now that lame promotions like the return of rally fries are distracting us from the reason we really tune in: entertainment. When you don’t enjoy the game, have depressed hopes for your team, and are on a losing streak with low attendance numbers, I understand why we just want to find things to rag on. But the real source of frustration for most people is the team, the players, even the coaches.
We can’t beat anyone now, obviously. The question is if we are even capable of beating these teams. Maybe we shouldn’t get too excited about making the playoffs, if our division is the worst, and the wild card team will be the second or third best team in baseball.
The trouble is that Tampa and NY can’t face each other in the first round. So we will face on of the two first. Anything can happen, but I just think the AL west champ will be a second tier team compared to the others.
The people that are pissed off at you right (NOTICE HOW I USED THIS ONE IN THIS CONTEXT INSTEAD OF THE OTHER SPELLING WHICH IS WRITE) don’t get pissed off easily. We are pissed off because you are a fucking moron.
Are you saying you aren’t annoyed by the M’s? Isn’t that the point of this blog? I’m tired of annoying things, and I’m tired of the M’s finding annoying ways to lose.
is compounded by the frustrated others that flock to good websites only to frustrate others with their collective observations, of which most are frustrating and fucking useless.
No but we have to be realistic that whoever wins the west will not be a championship caliber team.
We could get hot before the playoffs I guess. Winning the division will be a success, but we still have so much work to do. The Rays are absolutely dominating us.
there’s probably a good point about this being exactly the kind of thing that took too much time and energy to deal with, thus eventually forcing retirement
I'm not going to lie, I never commented on USSM and never have had a real desire to do so
but I was pretty saddened by this kind of bullshit causing you to quit the blogosphere. You guys did (and continue to do) a great job promoting advanced baseball analysis and smart fandom.
I just hope that having regulars around to help regulate (and a giant sports blog evil empire) keeps Jeff, Matthew, Graham and Jon from ever experiencing the kind of bullshit you guys put up with.
You really were and still are a huge asset to the best blogosphere in baseball.
Another true USSM story: I was once supposed to go on the FSN pre-game with Wil Lelitch the then-Deadspin editor, and Deadspin did something and FSN cancelled the whole thing without explanation.
I have no idea which of Deadspin’s 5,000 daily posts triggered it, but that was my one chance to get on the team broadcast.
Yeah I didn't really mean to end up defending Rob Johnson this much, just tried to think of a good reason
I don’t like Rob Johnson but having Rob Johnson is better than not having him because if he’s gone then our catching situation is gonna get bad real fast.
I mean I make a few comments about rally fries, and mention how much better the Twins, Yankees, and Rays look than the M’s and the hostility starts flowing.
It's because you are contrarian about everything, you talk down to people that are smarter than you about these things and you refuse to listen to reason.
Imagine all your posts were actually part of a conversation you were having with strangers at a bar
You say a lot of stupid stuff. Maybe you don’t realize its stupid but whatever. When everybody at the bar is telling you to get the fuck out, what would you do? If you did this at a normal bar you would end up getting your ass kicked.
Sit down and read through everything you said and everything everybody said about you. Don’t post again until you think about why people don’t like you. Maybe this takes a while but once you find this out maybe, just maybe you will learn how to not be a drag on the community. My guess is that you never figure it out and that’s ok. Just don’t post if you can’t figure out how to not piss everybody off.
Its really unfortunate that we can’t distill the fear of physical pain to people through the internet. It would reduce the amount of trolls.
“The way we’re going to do that is just, to love on him,” Sweeney said. “His track record shows he’s had some ups and downs. But we can embrace him and get him to click the way he did in Texas”
“White didn’t have his best stuff tonight, but boy did he battle. You just got to have a belief system that he will get back to where he was last season.”
If this team rallies around a broken Milton Bradley and each of them discovers something about themselves in the process.
That would be really sweet and even if they fail to win the division each of them would be a champion. A champion in life, which is what really matters. Muahahahaha MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA SWEEEEEEENEYYYY
I love Griffey and I will still boo him if he is terrible
last year he got his swan song and got to have everyone cheer for him. There was no excuse for coming back this year and saying he’d play for a different team if the M’s didn’t want him
I was more going with the journey being 2/3 complete when they hit an ice berg after lighting additional boilers.
And then slowly took on water before over-balancing and plummeting. But, yeah, hope works, too! It makes me seem far less of a historical pedant at the same time.
They’ve only been letting me down for half my life. Anyone over the age of 30, who has been a fan since the beginning and remains a fan today…I admire them like I might revere a saint. The passion is almost unbearable.
I didn't like Wak's use of Byrnes, however, it has to be said Wak seems to be an excellent manager of men
By taking Milton Bradley out yesterday in the middle of the game before he could do something crazy to the ump, I think Wak may have nipped a major incident in the bud and just made it minor.
Is like milking a unicord that secretes quarters, gambling your riches away at an Aurora casino, then fucking little Debbie in the ear by saying, “Bitch – you ever tried comfort food this good?”

Fett42 - May 5, 2010
Good attempt though.

It there hadn't been that typo it would have been awesome
Fett42 - May 5, 2010
Aren't you concerned you are turning into Robert and Robert is finally getting his wish?
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
Considering the day I had today, not in the least
Plus I feel Robert getting one of his wishes would contradict some sort of basic physical and probably moral law.
Fett42 - May 5, 2010
:(
Robert - May 5, 2010
I'll tell you about it after Griffet hits a HR
I don’t want to be perceived as having broken my lent

This is you taunting me.

Can’t recall seeing it all this year

They've done it the last two days

Pretty sure they did it last night for the first time this year

Nope, they're back.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Did it yesterday too
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
I wouldn't mind the fries so much
If they would wait until we actually needed a rally to give them out
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
So true story
I was kicking around a USSM post about how much I hated the Rally Fries and everything they demonstrate what’s wrong with broadcasts. Then one day I was in a meeting and going to project a document, but Word/Windows corrupted everything and my doc showed up with a huge chunk of rally fry hatred before the actual release coordination stuff.
I was horrified, it was totally unprofessional. And people were like “yeah, I hate Rally Fries too!”
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Sounds like a good icebreaker
Stormton - May 5, 2010
See, everyone hates Rally Fries dammit!
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Is it bad to like to eat them?
d0nkey - May 5, 2010
Absolutely.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
I fail to see how rally fries are "professional"
So really the unprofessional thing to do would’ve been to not show that.
Grady Clapp - May 5, 2010
there was some salty language
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Mmm. salty fries.
msb - May 5, 2010
So assuming Jack Wilson is actually hurt and can't play for a while
What the hell does the team do? They can’t play a bunch of games with a Mike Sweeney/Griffey and backup catcher bench. Can they?
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
Just watch them try
BaronVonBullshit - May 5, 2010
I really hope we don't have to.
But I have a feeling that we’ll have to.

Nice play lil' Wilson.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Wilson2!
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Wilson1 would have barehanded that and made it look cool

Wilson2 had a fair share of web gems in '09.

That was a cool play.
CHutMariners - May 5, 2010
I can say with 95% confidence that there is a .85 probability that Jack Wilson plays a better shortstop than me

He lost me by talking shit about soccer on his radio show
while he was under contract to announce games for the Sounders.

He should have stuck with the NBA and shut the fuck up about everything else

Are you sure that wasn't you?
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
He's too skinny for me
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010

I think Fredy is Hurtado’s bitch

Ooh! Ooh! Gimme a chance!

Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
I need to learn something about soccer, when you don't know anything you can't get pissed.
Makes for terrible flagging conditions.

What does my rice a roni have in common with Aston Villa at the FA Cup?
They both got burned.
Robert - May 5, 2010
Yes cooking instant rice is certainly comparable to playing one of the best soccer teams in the world.
Well played, Julia Child.
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
We didn't go, dumbleskins.
Let’s keep our message consistent here.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
We didn't go to the Final.
We were most certainly in the tournament.
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
"At" implied the final to me.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
Aston Villa didn't GO to the FA Cup, dumbleskins.

He tries to talk about baseball despite sucking at it
And that pisses me off
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
He's terrible at talking about any sport that's not basketball.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
You might be his only educated fan.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
The guy is hilarious!
katal - May 5, 2010
If you like uneducated shock jocks with nothing to present but dick jokes.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I don't consider him a shock jock.
He’s articulate and isn’t a racist or misogynist. He isn’t the most informed baseball fan, but he seems to respect stats.
katal - May 5, 2010
He knows nothing about any sport other than NBA basketball.
The other day a caller asked if he knew what a circle change was. He said (and I paraphrase) “Grow some balls and don’t ask about stupid things that make no sense – You can fool a lot of people, but not me.”
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I agree, and also greatly respect him for not moving with the team to OKC.
So he’s trying to make the transition to other sports. Give him a chance to learn
BigWillyStyle - May 5, 2010
It doesn't really work when you talk shit about other sports while under contract to announce for said other sport.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
BINGO.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Woah, didn't know he did that.
And that makes me like him alot less. I take back my previous statement.
BigWillyStyle - May 5, 2010
A Wilson that can use his glove properly!
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
All of them?
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
We're going to score a run here
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
At least one
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
I said we were scoring five
Poochie - May 5, 2010
You're insane
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Comments like that could end you up in a mental institution.
Ian Smell - May 5, 2010
Unlikely

You never know.
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
We'll have lunch when you get here!

I'm more interested in the when than where given how long this stadium will probably be around

Oh lord.
Tightness in Jack’s Hammy.

I really don't care about the fries if we win.
Do you think anyone complained about the Rally Monkey in Anaheim? They probably would have if they didn’t win the World Series.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
The smart Angels fan probably did.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
No one complained
Cantu Easley Winn - May 5, 2010
Which one is that
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Eyebrows.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
I thought we were talking about Angels fans
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Yes let's judge ourselves against the people of Anaheim.
Sounds like a great fuckin’ idea.
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
You pick strange things to argue about.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
What is the point of this statement?
JLC - May 5, 2010
That we should avoid getting mad about rally fries all over again.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate how people with rally fry signs get attention while much more creative signs from classic baseball fans are ignored. That sucks. My point was that who cares about all the stupid promotions or peripheral shit when your team is winning? Constantly playing Zombie Nation, or Who Let the Dogs Out is annoying, but it also was an after thought when your excited about the team and the game itself. Our team is so annoying right now that lame promotions like the return of rally fries are distracting us from the reason we really tune in: entertainment. When you don’t enjoy the game, have depressed hopes for your team, and are on a losing streak with low attendance numbers, I understand why we just want to find things to rag on. But the real source of frustration for most people is the team, the players, even the coaches.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
I think you just like to argue about things.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Yeah you do think that.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
Stop taking everything so seriously
Poochie - May 5, 2010
He asked me to explain.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
I am mad at everything always
JLC - May 5, 2010
You should take it easy.
Hypertension’s a bitch.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Oh, to be a Mariner fan in 2010.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
Your introduction needs work and another body paragraph could add to your argument
Also you need to integrate your primary sources better.

Rally Fries are the tv equivalent of one man's ballsack bouncing off of my own in an involuntary manner
Poochie - May 5, 2010
I feel like we should start referring to runs as goals.
Much more exciting to yell, and happen just about as often.
dkulich - May 5, 2010
Holy shit Figgins on the Left side.
Just start batting Right against righties. It can’t be any worse.

Chone just needs to start hitting right handed

How far was Guti's HR?
Slow Country - May 5, 2010
Barely.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
But it was opposite field to right center
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Indeed it was.
But still barely over the wall.
I still have tears from it though.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Just over the RF wall.
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
Opposite field shot that just got over the wall.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Whatever the distance to the wall in right plus one.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
If Guti had been playing RF he would have brought it back
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
It was opposite field though, which spiced it up a little bit.

Dewey N - May 5, 2010
It rates above Subway and Quiznos though.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
How?
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
It tastes better.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Its literally some meat, cheese and a lot of mayo on some bread plus some boring veggies
I don’t see why this is any better than anything else out there.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
I think Subway and Quiznos are awful?
Mainly because Quiznos makes me feel like death after I eat it.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
It's not exactly a high bar to clear.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Weird, I feel like JJ is less healthy than Quiznos

The first thing I heard after they came back from the ad break was Dave Sims talking about MC Hammer.

I still have trouble believing that Cliff Lee is a Mariner.
It’s a wonderful feeling every time I see him in that uniform.

Why the fuck does Johnson cut pitches off 3 feet in front of hte plate?
abender20 - May 5, 2010
I know Crawford beat the throw anyhow, but you'll never make a play from that position.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
I think he may have realized Carl was going to score and was thinking about the other runners advancing
Not that he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
He also didn't catch the ball, so there's that.

Jack Wilson is not playing right now.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
I mean from the SS position. Jack has 3 Josh has 1.

DRays are way better than us
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
We're scoring five runs like I said
Poochie - May 5, 2010
We'll still lose eventually with five runs!
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
Too bad we'll be down 8-2.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
That means we won't win
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Ok, now I don't mind White coming in.

ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
Remember that half-second when they led this game?
msb - May 5, 2010
Can someone please explain that sequence?
I can’t quite envision a run scoring on a lineout to shortstop, which is how Gameday recorded the play.
Ian Smell - May 5, 2010
Run scored on the throwing error to first
OlSalty - May 5, 2010
Josh Wilson threw the ball into the stands.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
Why was he throwing the ball to first if Carlos Pena was already out?
Ian Smell - May 5, 2010
Double play.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Runner at first should have been doubled off
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Poor Cliff Lee :(
It’s not your fault.
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
It is a little bit.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
This line certainly won't reflect how good Lee was tonight
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
And how bad the umpire was

ROBOTS.

Oh come the fuck on Bucknor
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
CB Bucknor everyone!
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Of course CB Bucknor has screwed over Lee several times
JLC - May 5, 2010
FUCK YOU UMP
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Come on, CB, don't you want to go home yet?
drblacknwhite - May 5, 2010
Fucking Figgins. Make a the damn play on the Crawford ball. Yeah, it's not an easy play
but we’re built on playing above average defense, so make the damn play
Rudy4three - May 5, 2010
I was really kind of shocked when everyone was feeling bad for him earlier.

CB rhyming with TB makes so much sense

voltron27 - May 5, 2010
Bye Bye Rob!
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Twins, Yankees, and Rays are SO much better than the M's.
We could win the west, but I don’t like us in a 7 game series unless Bedard is back strong. The Rays are leaps and bounds ahead of the Mariners.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
What about now?
JLC - May 5, 2010
Not sure what you mean.
We can’t beat anyone now, obviously. The question is if we are even capable of beating these teams. Maybe we shouldn’t get too excited about making the playoffs, if our division is the worst, and the wild card team will be the second or third best team in baseball.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
Anything can happen in a 5 or 7 game series
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
Yeah, especially if Bedard is back.
The trouble is that Tampa and NY can’t face each other in the first round. So we will face on of the two first. Anything can happen, but I just think the AL west champ will be a second tier team compared to the others.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
This is a controversial statement.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Don't tease me I'm bad with sarcasm.
In case your serious: Minnesota, NY, and Tampa in the playoffs is controversial?

No.

kevin_ess - May 5, 2010

Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
But if you're not going to win the world series you should totally just give up.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
No but we have to be considerate of our weak division and not sell the farm just to make a brief playoff run.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
We sold the farm?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
You're drastically underestimating the value of getting to the playoffs
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Are you seriously concerned about Jack Zduriencik selling the farm in order to make the playoffs?
JLC - May 5, 2010
Anything can happen in the playoffs. The Cardinals sucked horses and got rings printed.

Uh no.

DMZ - May 5, 2010
I assumed he'd just get the insta-shitcan.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
Maybe Jeff Nye would let him through and the next Baker blogosphere convo would include him!
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
If I'm not a recurring character in those sketches I'm going to be pissed.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
I would seriously pre-ban him if I had enough information
I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE
DMZ - May 5, 2010
on the other hand
there’s probably a good point about this being exactly the kind of thing that took too much time and energy to deal with, thus eventually forcing retirement
DMZ - May 5, 2010
I'm not going to lie, I never commented on USSM and never have had a real desire to do so
but I was pretty saddened by this kind of bullshit causing you to quit the blogosphere. You guys did (and continue to do) a great job promoting advanced baseball analysis and smart fandom.
I just hope that having regulars around to help regulate (and a giant sports blog evil empire) keeps Jeff, Matthew, Graham and Jon from ever experiencing the kind of bullshit you guys put up with.
You really were and still are a huge asset to the best blogosphere in baseball.
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
thanks dude
That’s really nice of you to say
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Not to mention the usenet days.
Thanks for those too!
hairofthedawg - May 5, 2010
If it wasn't for your spots on Fox post-game shows I never would have found USSM and modern analysis.
I loved your writing and it kills me that all of the bullshit you had to deal caused you to step away from blogging about the team.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
USSM was my initiation into the Mariners blogosphere
I say, without a doubt, I’d still be a more stupid fan without it.
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
I was on the post-game show?
Another true USSM story: I was once supposed to go on the FSN pre-game with Wil Lelitch the then-Deadspin editor, and Deadspin did something and FSN cancelled the whole thing without explanation.
I have no idea which of Deadspin’s 5,000 daily posts triggered it, but that was my one chance to get on the team broadcast.
DMZ - May 5, 2010
I could have sworn you did the post-game stuff on the occasional Fox Saturday games.
I was watching someone having to deal with New York Vinnie.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Ditto -
Best to you.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Next time you go back to the retirement home

DMZ - May 5, 2010

You think I want to write this?
I’m totally pissed about this because I thought we were much better. Do you disagree?
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
Contrary to popular belief you do not have to post every stupid thing that you think of!
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Actually, that fuck you was directed at me for joking that you should go over to USSM.
Have you heard of 4chan? I heard they love you over there and want to hear more of your thoughts.

Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
He's still shitty.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
He's the best we've got

Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
You might be right.
But he’s still really shitty.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
He's a robot now. He just hasn't passed the QC checks yet.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
LL, assholes?
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Hah, I knew I'd get something good like this
I just needed to say something. Its pretty fucking impressive to be nailed like that and be able to stick around and do your job.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
Sometimes gutting it out is stupid and is bad for both you and your team.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
That depends on whether or not he can do his job well after that
If he can stick around but play like shit, he’s just Griffeying it.
JLC - May 5, 2010
Well if he comes out then we don't have a backup catcher
I’m assuming his hand isn’t broken since he is batting.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
I believe not having a backup catcher isn't a huge concern for us at this point
JLC - May 5, 2010
Yeah I didn't really mean to end up defending Rob Johnson this much, just tried to think of a good reason
I don’t like Rob Johnson but having Rob Johnson is better than not having him because if he’s gone then our catching situation is gonna get bad real fast.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
Not if you were shit at your job in the first place.

BrianL - May 5, 2010
Imagine all your posts were actually part of a conversation you were having with strangers at a bar
You say a lot of stupid stuff. Maybe you don’t realize its stupid but whatever. When everybody at the bar is telling you to get the fuck out, what would you do? If you did this at a normal bar you would end up getting your ass kicked.
Sit down and read through everything you said and everything everybody said about you. Don’t post again until you think about why people don’t like you. Maybe this takes a while but once you find this out maybe, just maybe you will learn how to not be a drag on the community. My guess is that you never figure it out and that’s ok. Just don’t post if you can’t figure out how to not piss everybody off.
Its really unfortunate that we can’t distill the fear of physical pain to people through the internet. It would reduce the amount of trolls.

“The way we’re going to do that is just, to love on him,” Sweeney said. “His track record shows he’s had some ups and downs. But we can embrace him and get him to click the way he did in Texas”
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
The best part:
“As Bradley sat down, Sweeney hugged him.”
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
It's a good sign that he's just frustrated with himself rather than frustrated with the team
JLC - May 5, 2010
Sure is nice to see Sean White again.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Fuck this
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Sean White gets groundballs.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Groundball off the warning track!
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
Hey there, Sean White. Was that a ground ball? No.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
All right, let's hear it
Gimme a list of bad commenters.
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Robert
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
He may have been provoked.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
Well that guy katal like Kevin Calabro
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Fuck
likes
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Jeff Sullivan
Coach Owens - May 5, 2010
Publicly?
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Me, especially when I beat memes to death.
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
I blame it on humor through repetition.
In addition, I blame humor through repetition. Ask Section 331.
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
Joe Morgan.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
COME ON MOTHERFUCKERS
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Wait you really want a list?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
If so, I have flagged your comment with a pair of names.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
He is serious damn it
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
It's a long fucking list, give me a minute
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
I thought you were joking
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Why?
This is easier for me and I mostly trust you guys.
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
We didn't know if you meant publicly or not.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
That would help them get the message
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Oh in that case.
Ian Smell and Refuse2Lose2010 suck.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Just couldn't get past the name pun.
the other side - May 5, 2010
He's awful besides that.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Thats what I'm saying. He had a lot to get past.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I don't mind Ian Smell
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Refuse2Lose2010 sucked.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
1 for 2 right?
the other side - May 5, 2010
Your taste in posters is questionable
Graham MacAree - May 5, 2010
It's his website so I'd say it's perfect
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
I don't pay close attention
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
What about "Adrian Smelltre"
Because he said it was a coin flip between the two.
DMZ - May 5, 2010
See this is why no one wanted to post their list publicly
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
I mostly didn't want to be an asshole. Plus I figured your list and some others' lists would echo my sentiments
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
I question ever agreeing with you on anything.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
GOD!
We should never have traded Washburn, amirite!?
harkening - May 5, 2010
Fuckin finally people are starting to get it
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
I'm sure your poll answers say otherwise.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
Jeff doesn't vote in polls.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
He votes in the slam dunk ones
Robert - May 5, 2010
There are no slam dunk polls.
230 people don’t love Franklin Gutierrez!
harkening - May 5, 2010
Jeff doesn't like basketball.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Yes I do
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
*Jeff hasn't voted in a poll since Greg Norton and Cha-Seung Baek were the talk of the town
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Never mind the recent activity doesn't work well.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
QUESTION EVERYTHING
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Why?
Graham MacAree - May 5, 2010
The Internet said so
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Snopes says Seattle has a baseball team.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Rainers are still in Tacoma, right?
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
Wikipedia will tell us!!!!
the other side - May 5, 2010
Bullshit.
I don’t believe it until it rapes me with happiness.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
How do you tell a happiness rape from a rape rape?
the other side - May 5, 2010
The cuddling afterwards?
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
After one you call the cops, the other?
You call them back or buy a jersey.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
That sig is looking appropriate right now.
the other side - May 5, 2010
My sig at MarinerCentral.com is an OLD anonymous suicide letter that reads:
“All this buttoning and unbuttoning.”
Apropos as well.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
The safety word is "banana"?
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
I'll keep this all in mind.
the other side - May 5, 2010
NO!!!! ATACK WORD!!! GAHHH!!!
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
.
harkening - May 5, 2010
uhhhhhh...
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
I'm gonna have to check this one out...
the other side - May 5, 2010
XKCD is one of those webcomics I lost track of all the time
Now I really wanna know how it ends
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
Right-click on the pic and select 'view image'
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
Well I feel dumb...
nice signature though!
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
Can no one else see it?
I can see all three panels on my monitor, and I even formatted it until it fit.
harkening - May 5, 2010
I get it.
the other side - May 5, 2010
He got better midway through
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
I will e-mail you because I don't think it's fair to call everyone out in a gamethread
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
I nominate seattlebruin for being a pussy
Graham MacAree - May 5, 2010
Seconded.
Motion carries?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Robert's rules of order are a little sketchy here.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
See what happens when you want a democracy? Somebody nominates you for pussy
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
I respect that
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
What about that guy that said something like
“I want Oakland to win the division if that means the yankees are in last place” or something fucking stupid like that. Like a week or two ago.
This is all probably just GTE and wont matter but damn that still pisses me off.
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
There were a half dozen idiots saying that.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Oh
fuck it, ban em all then
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
That was Johnny Slick and I got 30+ recs for telling him to stop posting
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
All deserved
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
Rec whore
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
And I didn't even blink at that
Robert - May 5, 2010
Me
except I rarely do.
hairofthedawg - May 5, 2010
Basically what everyone has said should give you a basic Essence of what's going wrong.
Robert - May 5, 2010
I love when they call him "Mr. White";
makes me think of Reservoir Dogs.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
Isn't he supposed to be our SS?
MFAN - May 5, 2010
Does Sean White throw anything other than a 92 MPH fastball completely centered in the strike zone?
Ian Smell - May 5, 2010
I think he threw a curveball out of the zone once.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
Well now is as good a time as any to turn off the game
and watch 80’s East German porn instead.
RustyJohn - May 5, 2010
Why do the M's do this?
Do other teams stomp on the hearts of their fans like this?
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Yes.
ThundaPC - May 5, 2010
TAKE HIM OUT
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
No, ruin that fucking shiny ERA.
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
OH, fantastic.
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Sean White
Why you so bad dude
Stormton - May 5, 2010
This is new
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Losing?
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
WHAT A NEW AND ZESTY FLOCK OF ASS
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
I do not get this but I sure do love it.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
xo
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
I'd be interested in seeing a new Fan Gauge
Who do you dislike more: Sean White or Rob Johnson?
Cougriculture - May 5, 2010
Rob Johnson.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Sean White is fine if used properly
JLC - May 5, 2010
Cue Benny Hill music.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
There we go
It wouldn’t feel like a Mariner game without a Rob Johnson PB
JLC - May 5, 2010
Crawford Bomb
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
Or walk...seems more likely I guess.
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
We are so bad
Disney straight to DVD sequel bad
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
WWE Films bad.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
Leonard Part 6 bad.
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
Rob Schneider bad
although he could probably walk as much as Rob Johnson
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
Joel Schumacher bad
Trenchtown - May 5, 2010
Seriously, put a pitching machine on the mound.
Maybe even a nice one that throws curveballs and stuff.
Crystal for DH - May 5, 2010
Too bad Colome isn't ready to go.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Come on Zobrist!
DOMINATE HIM.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Belief system!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
At least we didn't have a lead this inning.
ThundaPC - May 5, 2010
My girlfriend:
“You’d think just by CHANCE he’d throw a strike.”
Cougriculture - May 5, 2010
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Even on accident
Stormton - May 5, 2010
Hit a grand slam
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
That would be pretty hilarious.
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
KILL WHITEY!!!!
Trenchtown - May 5, 2010
Hey Sean White apologists, where are you now?
Still think he’s above replacement level?
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
K/BB is 1/6
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
That's what I thought.
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
Yes I still think he above replacement level.
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
What makes you think that?
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
Partially his stats and partially that much smarter people than you or I have made a compelling argument that he is
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
He is coming back from injury and has struck out ONE of FORTY batters faced while walking six.
He may have been above replacement level last year, but I don’t think his true talent is that high any more.
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
"Poor kid, just can't throw a strike here, your heart goes out to him"
no, not really, Dave.
msb - May 5, 2010
WHAT THE SANDWICH
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
I chuckled. Thanks!
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
SEE WAK?!?! SEE!?!?
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
ONE STRIKE!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Nothing’s beter than sarcastic cheering for the guy that can’t throw a strike.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
Better*
I need to drink more.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
Hey a strike!!
And the crowd goes wild!
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
THE CHEERS HE JUST GOT FOR THAT ONE SPARKLY STRIKE WERE PITIFUL
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
It's the crowd reaction I expect in my mind for sex.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
I expect sad trombone
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
For me? That's far more than I...
Never mind.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
The best part about it was that it probably should have been a ball.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
I'm thinking it was sarcastic from the boos he was getting before that.
Crystal for DH - May 5, 2010
Even his out was crushed
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
WE ARE GETTING LIT UP AND WE CAN'T HOLD GRIFFEY RESPONSIBLE
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
And importantly:
This obviously was not Milton’s fault. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon Milton!
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
IS YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM SHAKEN YET WAK!?
IS IT!? HOW ABOUT NOW!?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Griffey's double was too encouraging to dampen the belief system
Stormton - May 5, 2010
Sean White meet Strike Zone
get to know it, you’ll need to use it
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
He is so bad today that Wak will be able to rationalize that it was 'just one of those days'
msb - May 5, 2010
Pitching and Defense
Ha
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
BOOOOOOO!
Fucking pathetic.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Cliff Lee pitched today :(
ThundaPC - May 5, 2010
Do you think Wak got the picture?
Ian Smell - May 5, 2010
Take a wild guess
abender20 - May 5, 2010
Hell no he didn't.
“White didn’t have his best stuff tonight, but boy did he battle. You just got to have a belief system that he will get back to where he was last season.”
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Kanekoa Texeira is not our worst nor second worst reliever.
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
Third worst.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Indeed, but who expected that when we picked him up off of Rule 5?
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
I hope we hit a grand slam in the bottom of the inning
and lose 7-6.
That would be diarrhea icing on the shit cake.
Craig341 - May 5, 2010
I smell it.
The way the shit clings to the air. The shit blizzard’s coming.
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
My TV went to commercial, please God tell me it's over!
MFAN - May 5, 2010
Sorry, it keeps going and going and going...
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Really?
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
Fuck Jose...
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
I think Lopez just forgot how many outs there were
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Good ole Loafie.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Loafie seems to be having trouble getting the ball out of his glove today.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Take your time Loafie
Stormton - May 5, 2010
FIRE OUR HITTING COACH!
And demote Kenekoa!
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Who?
msb - May 5, 2010
Why?
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
Because our offense still fuckign sucks
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Demoting Kanekoa means he's offered back to the Yankees.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
In that case, fuck no
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
What?
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
It does
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
How?
eponymous_coward - May 5, 2010
Our offense can't score runs
Or haven’t you noticed…
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
What does Texeira have to do with any of this bullshit?
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Just gave up more runs
I’m fucking pissed right now, I’ll lash out at anything.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Nope...that would be White's fault.
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
Yeah, White would've mowed 'em down.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Fair enough
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
What the hell did Teixera do?
He got a groundball and a strikeout.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
I know
He doesn’t deserve it.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Mascot?
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
At least spell his name properly
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
This team needs a SHUTDOWN closer.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
SHUTDOWN
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
There's plenty of shutting down going on.
lailaihei - May 5, 2010
There was somebody a few weeks back, going on about SHUTDOWN closers
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
HEY YOU GUYS THIS IS OUR BASEBALL TEAM
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
I know. K-Mart wouldn't let me take them back.
James F'n X - May 5, 2010
You can have it
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
I thought we were finally getting along
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Aren't we?
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Oh wait, we are
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
don't rub it in
We love the Mariners, we just aren’t proud of them
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
Hey remember that time we had a lead in this game?
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
This could be a hell of a come back
Doubtful, but possible
Trenchtown - May 5, 2010
We score 6 runs a series at best;
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
So, time for the exorcism?
Sacrifice?
Something?
msb - May 5, 2010
Burn down Safeco
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
crucify Jesus
Colome. DFA
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
I'd settle for Griffey and Sweeney coming to their senses.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
REFUSE TO LOSE!! JUST LIKE '95 HELL YEAH!
My money is on a 1-2-3 9th
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Refuse to Lose to this team is having a 12 pitch inning to end the game.
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
They are going to stage just enough of a comeback to make it disappointing when they lose
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
Word
This team brings my hopes up again and then grounds into a DP and crushes them.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
This 6-run deficit is easily surmountable!
Alto - May 5, 2010
Holy shit when did they score 3 more runs
JLC - May 5, 2010
Sean White happened
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
REMEMBER LAST TIME WE WERE HYPED UP TO GO TO THE PLAYOFFS
THAT WORKED OUT WELL TOO
Crystal for DH - May 5, 2010
Shut your mouth
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
I love angry Jeff.
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
RALLY RALLY
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
I can't wait till the shitty Angels come here and somehow beat our asses.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Fuck no...
I want Milton to come back and destroy the Angels…they’ve been playing even worse than us.
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
RALLY: ON
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
IT BEGINS
Alto - May 5, 2010
I can never be mad at Guti.
Ever.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
REFUSE 2 LOSE
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
Look at these system believers battle
Stormton - May 5, 2010
And THAT
is how a 7-run rally starts.
Cougriculture - May 5, 2010
7 runs incoming!
…over the next week
Crystal for DH - May 5, 2010
you're an optimist
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
...or next month
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
Here we go
We had a 7 run inning once before remember
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
Double play!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Okay, just five more errors by the Rays and we so got this.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Omg, consecutive base runners
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
NO CHATSPEAK
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
God I wish that went down as a DP in Griffey's line
Stormton - May 5, 2010
Loafie GITP.
w00tah - May 5, 2010
Make it happen, Jose.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
Rally Time, Bitches
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
2 Out So What
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
This failure is just resplendent
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Dammit pull more!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
What the FUCK are you swinging at.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Pinch hit Milton!
harkening - May 5, 2010
he's in time out
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
In a mental institution
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Ball 3 but whatever
You fat motherfucker
Stormton - May 5, 2010
Lopez loves the fastball at the eyes.
Paytheline - May 5, 2010
and there we go
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Kick ass Langerhans!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Wooo Josh Wilson
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
Please homer, Langerhans.
JLC - May 5, 2010
Mariners' offense!
Please for the love of god draw a walk.
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
Langersex hears.
And obeys.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Dangerhans!
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
I got a feeling that my dreams tonight will have Cliff Lee and Indiana Jones in them.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
Cliff Lee in the hat.
msb - May 5, 2010
And what happens when the Mariners fill the bases?
msb - May 5, 2010
DOuble play
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
One out, too.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Grand Salami Time!
…are we talking about the 2001 Mariners? No? Oh, damn.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Come on Wilson
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
When the hell did the bases get loaded?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Errors!
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Single, error, walk.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
I have nightmares that the bases are loaded and Rob Johnson is batting
any variety of J Wilson is no better
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
Think we can draw walks until Guti is up?
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
He's on base
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Yeah, I know. Until he's up again.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Draw walks to get to the Langerhans walkoff
wetzelcoal - May 5, 2010
So have we won this bitch yet???
the other side - May 5, 2010
We're going to win
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
OH DAMN DEFENSE
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
No worries...
6-4-3 is on deck.
Avery Bowron - May 5, 2010
His foot came off the bag?
JLC - May 5, 2010
Darn
JLC - May 5, 2010
Wasn't he safe there?
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
fuck nevermind
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
Brignac was off the bag.
Fucking A.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Hahaha
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
We got a run!
They should add Handicaps to baseball so that would count for like five runs.
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
His foot wasn't even close to the fucking bag.
Jesus Christ
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
30,000!!!!!!!!!
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
Congratulations!
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
THAT IS ALL
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
I'm not trying to get banned like Robert's 15,000th post fucktacular celebration
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
15,000 Post Craptaculur*
Robert - May 5, 2010
Lame.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Oh Mike fucking Sweeney.
First pitch?
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
HEY LOOK IT'S MIKE FUCKING SWEENEY EVERYBODY
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
If this team rallies around a broken Milton Bradley and each of them discovers something about themselves in the process.
That would be really sweet and even if they fail to win the division each of them would be a champion. A champion in life, which is what really matters. Muahahahaha MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA SWEEEEEEENEYYYY
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
Come on Sweendog!
Oh yeah we so got this now!
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Oh fuck yeah Sweendog
Alto - May 5, 2010
If they would just kill some people we'd have a murderer's row.
Big Jared - May 5, 2010
Even though we have no chance WHAT THE FUCK AT MIKE SWEENEY COMING IN?
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Love the shit out of this eventual double play Sweeney!
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
God Damnit..
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
Draw the walk Sweendog!
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
And Mike Sweeney comes in to fuck it up
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Dammit that was well hit :(
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
LAST CHANCE
With any luck.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
That looked pretty nice.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
And then....that happened.
Edgar for Pres - May 5, 2010
I hope they tie the game and have nobody left on the bench.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
Have Felix and Aardsma play the field!
FairWeatherFred - May 5, 2010
Sweet
Dewey N - May 5, 2010
MIKE SWEENEY IS THE WORST
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
THE WORST
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
WORSE THAN SEAN WHITE
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Is that better or worse than Jesus Colome?
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
WAY FUCKING WORSE
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Alright. Just needed to establish my hierarchy of suckitude
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
WORSE THAN ROB JOHNSON
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
WORSE THAN IDI AMIN
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
WORSE THAN POL POT
Mariner John - May 5, 2010
Hugs don't kill
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Hold on -
You’re from Yakima. Your suck meter is broken by proxy.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Hey they have Miners Burgers.
Other than that it kinda sucks.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Miner's Burgers are spectacular.
I used to drive from Ellensburg over to get their food all the time.
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
Minor burgers are the only retribution.
Spent 18 fucking years there.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I stop every time I'm close.
The rest of the town is shit though.
the other side - May 5, 2010
True. Best burgers in WA. They even beat those panda burgers in Spokane.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
I don't know... Campus-U-Tote-Em in Ellensburg is pretty damn good.
wyte_lightning - May 5, 2010
Respectfully disagree, Red Mill all the way.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Bullshit.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Red Mill really is wonderful though
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
You don't like Red Mill?
What’s your objection?
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Like it, but it's no match for Miners.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I've never tried Miners, so I want to now.
Red Mill’s have been the best I’ve had in maybe 20 states. Miners’ must be tried this summer.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Miners is worth whatever drive you must take to try it for the first time.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Will do, I'm only coming from Seattle so
the drive would appear to be managable. Always looking for the best burger.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Red Mill is good, but Miners is like crack betwwen buns.
Shut up, Kermit.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
It's the sauce (personal opinion), lov/hate for a lot of people
Someone that knows help me out, it’s white so I assume it’s loaded with mayonnaise? This is probably incorrect so don’t take my word on this.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
I'm not a fan of Mayo at all. So please say
it isn’t so.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Mayo sucks but Miner's Burgers are the best
So it might not be mayo.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
I wonder why they don't try to expand since they are so popular.
the other side - May 5, 2010
They did somewhat recently, with "Majors."
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Ya they put a Majors in Kennewick and it failed.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I'll give it a try.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
If for some reason you're driving through Yakima, its worth trying once
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
You're right.
He’s never gonna make it there.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Depends on where he's coming from
If you’re driving from Spokane, its all pretty much the same and only takes one wrong turn to end up heading for Yakima.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
One wrong turn to hell.
Theres washington for you.
the other side - May 5, 2010
No, that's Michigan.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Nah once you hit Michigan you're already eyeballs deep in shit.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Not Idaho?
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Idaho has relatively nice scenery.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Are you guys talking about the same Idaho?
harkening - May 5, 2010
Toto, I don't think we're in Idaho anymore.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Fucking tornadoes.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I DEMAND MY MILITIA BURGER NOW!!!
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Although the "secret sauce"
from most places involves mayo, only Miners and Arctic Circle thrive there.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I eagerly await the chance to taste these other burgers.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
They're good, but not that good
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Not even Yakima
Closer to the Tri-Cities, but still a tiny-ass town.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
A fellow tricitian eh?
the other side - May 5, 2010
Sort of. Originally from Prosser
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
They still have a tough football team?
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
Not so much this year, but I don't follow to closely anymore
Don’t live there and keep visits to a minimum.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
That last year was the first time in a long time they didn't dominate.
the other side - May 5, 2010
The longtime coach retired to watch his boy at Boise State
So its that rough transition period.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
I do remember that now. Hmm that must be it.
the other side - May 5, 2010
They won state for like 5 straight or something ridiculous.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Only seemed like it.. I think they won 4 or 5 since 1990
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
You lives sucked only slightly less than ours! You had a MALL!
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Your childhood would've had a mall
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
It did and fucking sucked.
To have to drive to the Tri for fun means your town sucks.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Well then, my town sucks.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Yes it does.
I’ll come back and die there soon, I’m sure, if that makes you feel better.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Not really.
We’re all essentially salmon. We spawn there, we leave for a while, then come back to die.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
I fear this will happen to me.
Hey at least the Tricities have a minor league team.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Go Dust Devils~!
Except when they play the Aquasox.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
And the Tri-Cities ballpark isn't nearly as gimmicky as Yakima's
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
I really enjoy it.
Cheap too.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Thirsty Thursday was nice
Especially when they blew all of the cheap beer early and ended up selling the not-cheap beer for a dollar.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Ya they seriously under estimated peoples alcohol consumption.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I learned to drink away the pain in Yakima.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
But did you drive 5 miles out into the middle of nowhere to do so?
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Someone just reminded me of the Little Dutch Inn
Ahahahaha what a shit hole.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
Suicide hill.
six of us drinking around three burning cans of Sterno. God I love the memories more than the reality.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
The only time I go to our mall is for the theatre the rest of it sucks.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Federal Way isn't in Yakima.
Weird.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Huh??
the other side - May 5, 2010
The Commons at Federal Way, formerly SeaTac Mall
is a tremendously terrible shopping outlet. But they do have one of the best movie theaters in the south Sound.
It was humor by point of comparison. And it failed. I AM NOT A FUNNY PERSON!
harkening - May 5, 2010
Sorry I don't know Seattle terribly well I'm sure it was funny.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Actually, that was amusing.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
You're a writer, so you've got that going for ya
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
The Commons is a douchey name anyway
And so is Federal Way.
shit, and so is SeaTac.
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
I refer to it as "SeaTac" among friends, and whenever someone calls it "The Commons", I say:
“I refuse to call it by its slave name.”
harkening - May 5, 2010
Haha somehow that makes perfect sense
Like Chad Pennington. Every time I see him I think “goddamn your family owned so many slaves I just know it.”
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
Seriously? Holy crap.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
And I still think my suck meter is fine.
I’ve at least got suck standards built in.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Fuck Mike Sweeney!
harkening - May 5, 2010
Hahahahaha!
Fuck you Sweeney.
Ender15 - May 5, 2010
Voila.
msb - May 5, 2010
WAY TO GO SWEENEY YOU DID IT
Alto - May 5, 2010
Way to finish strong Sweeney.
Heydude - May 5, 2010
What an unexpected outcome!
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
Why Mike! WHY!
E2ESQUARE - May 5, 2010
How fitting.
I can’t wait to go to my first game so I can boo Sweeney or Griffey. I hope both are playing.
Cantu Easley Winn - May 5, 2010
You boo Griffey I will fucking cut you
You do not screw with Griffey, Sweeney on the other hand.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Fuck Griffey.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
Why can't we boo Griffey
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
He's terrible now
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
I find it hard to boo one of the team's most iconic players ever
Seems wrong.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
It's not
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
I find it easy to boo players who strike out 2 times a game and ground out to second base the other two times they're up.
Jackle Mackle - May 5, 2010
It's oh so right.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
Is it ever!
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Here's what you do: boo the inept batter ahead of him
It’ll feel perfectly normal, well-deserved…
… and then you just keep booing.
Pretty soon, you’ll be able to do it without prompting or prep.
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Nice
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
No one would boo him if he retired and joined Buhner in the broadcast booth for chuckles
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
True
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
People are already booing him.
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Wrong?
What’s wrong is trying to mind fuck your life long fans when you know for a fact your dick fell off years ago.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I love Griffey and I will still boo him if he is terrible
last year he got his swan song and got to have everyone cheer for him. There was no excuse for coming back this year and saying he’d play for a different team if the M’s didn’t want him
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
IT WAS THE PERFECT ENDING
GOD WHY DID YOU COME BACK
BrianL - May 5, 2010
Money can buy many sodas
DMZ - May 5, 2010
I used to drink way more soda than I should have, I've since cut it out of my diet
but good god twelve cans a day?
BrianL - May 5, 2010
it's okay because he works out so much
DMZ - May 5, 2010
I don't think he knows
Has anyone told him? He needs to know!
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
I sincerely thought Griffey was smart enough to retire of his own accord
rather than have the game force him into retirement.
JLC - May 5, 2010
True
He had some sweet hits last year, now it just sucks.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Worth it
JLC - May 5, 2010
I boo Griffey all the time
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Yeah, I'm gonna boo him anyways
Cantu Easley Winn - May 5, 2010
The DH platoon lives on!
Stormton - May 5, 2010
Zombie platoon. Dead long ago.
Big Jared - May 5, 2010
My oh my
abender20 - May 5, 2010
Great game, fellas.
ScottBrowne - May 5, 2010
HUG IT OUT SWEENEY
HUG IT THE FUCK OUT OF TOWN
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Do we know if he's a pilot? I sure hope so on the next road trip to NY.
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Someone hit these guys over the head or something, they suck right now.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Fuck it Dude, lets go bowling.
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
Yes!
Where?
harkening - May 5, 2010
The Holly Star Lanes near Santa Monica?
voltron27 - May 5, 2010
...that's a bit of a drive for me.
Saturday afternoon?
harkening - May 5, 2010
This used to be painful, now it's downright excruciating.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I will now post a chart.
Nobody else will post a chart.
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Yeah, fuck DMZ
kentroyals5 - May 5, 2010
Yeah, fuck that guy
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Agreed.
Coach Owens - May 5, 2010
Chart Nazi.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I will chart my own sadness
and how the Mariners reflect the voyage and sinking of the Titanic almost perfectly.
Coach Owens - May 5, 2010
We're not the Titanic until we surge ahead in July and then stagnate in August.
Before sinking extremely fast in early September.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Yeah you have to have hope before you can fail.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
I was more going with the journey being 2/3 complete when they hit an ice berg after lighting additional boilers.
And then slowly took on water before over-balancing and plummeting. But, yeah, hope works, too! It makes me seem far less of a historical pedant at the same time.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Mariners History 101
Expect your team to find a way to fuck it up.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
I lived through the Golden Age.
They’ve only been letting me down for half my life. Anyone over the age of 30, who has been a fan since the beginning and remains a fan today…I admire them like I might revere a saint. The passion is almost unbearable.
harkening - May 5, 2010
It was only a golden age
AFter the LONGEST TIME WITHOUT A WINNING SEASON OF ANY EXPANSION TEAM IN PRO SPORTS HISTORY! Ugh.
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
.
msb - May 5, 2010
Not to be defeatist....
Big Jared - May 5, 2010
I thought he died the way Josh Hamilton lived?

When I first saw John Conner I thought it was a .gif from the Crossfire commercial

I wasn't here when that first aired but thats a great gif.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
Things seriously soured after Byrnes' retarded play over the weekeend cost us 2 losses
And Wak was a moron for trying to overmanage and sending Byrnes out there.
The wheels really started falling off this goddam ship after that.
Sam Regens - May 5, 2010
You cannot possibly still be blaming that one play for this
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
The team just hasn't been right since 9/11.
abender20 - May 5, 2010
1995.
Get it right.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
Since David Bell left
DMZ - May 5, 2010
Hey that's my line
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
I remember listening to the radio like three games into 2002
Cirillo grounded into a double play with the bases loaded and I was convinced that trading for him had cursed the franchise. Huh.
Graham MacAree - May 5, 2010
Cirillo was the first player I truly hated.
Memories…
the other side - May 5, 2010
Always with the spitting
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
I really don't know what did it for me but it was even worse than this RJ thing.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Yeah, 2001 fucking sucked!
God dammit!
harkening - May 5, 2010
Those two walkoffs in a row in Chicago hurt too
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Do ships need wheels?
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Blowers thinks Sean White hasn;t pitched in 10 days.
msb - May 5, 2010
Can hardly call that pitching.
the other side - May 5, 2010
On a brighter note, the MLB.tv on the PS3 is really awesome and the picture is a lot better than I imagined it would be.
MFAN - May 5, 2010
I'm really really happy with that app.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
I can actually watch the game and have a gamethread open at the same time.
It’s amazing.
MFAN - May 5, 2010
I could have been watching Bubba Ho Tep.
msb - May 5, 2010
DON WAKAMATSU'S EYES ARE FREAKING ME THE FUCK OUT
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
Dude stop being so racist.
Eyeball Kid - May 5, 2010
THEY WERE BLACK AND SPARKLY
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS HE IS THE ANTICHRIST
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
That was the vampires, Aaron
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
Black and sparkly? Really? This doesn't sound good dude
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
This happened yesterday too
OlSalty - May 5, 2010
It is terrifying
OlSalty - May 5, 2010
He doesn't even look asian.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Wak says pitchers not getting consistent work in the bullpen
LET’S NOT HAVE SEVEN PITCHERS DOWN THERE THEN
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
Let's get some runs to help support our pitchers
skywaker9 - May 5, 2010
Let's have pitchers not named White.
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
Oh, they just said no Sean White bashing session on KIRO post game. No please do!
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
His runs were meaningless, didn't hurt as bad.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Ugly line for a reliever though. Your down by 3 runs a bit and walk three?
refuse2lose2010 - May 5, 2010
You're
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
Grammar naziing is funny in this case.
Is nazi-ing a word?
the other side - May 5, 2010
If not, you just invented it.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
I will totally take credit for this.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I would if I were in your shoes;
I think the franchise right on this will be huge.
ErictheRed - May 5, 2010
It's gonna be trademarked by tomorrow so don't you assholes get any ideas.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Absolutely.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
If you played football what position would you play
Aaron Campeau - May 5, 2010
I think I'm totally OK with you sticking around if you change your screenname to refuse2rose2010
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
Ian Smell may be opening up.

the other side - May 5, 2010
Clearly you don't know sb.
Kirsten Schlewitz - May 5, 2010
Nah I was just feeling all caps.
I get the whole ironic racism thing.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I would take offense but I know you're a nice guy
Gihyou - May 5, 2010
These new posters need to die faster than John Brown's kids in an armory raid.
Robert - May 5, 2010
Faster than John Kitna's sperm, even.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Well now I feel unwanted.
Are you allowed to use the same historical deal twice?
the other side - May 5, 2010
Has anyone posted the Indy .gif to you yet?
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
(you're probably OK if not)
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
I have to say the Indy .gif would be my favorite if it wasn't from the 4th one.
But no, not yet.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Totally o.k. I wish I'd gotten off to such a great start.
Kermit. - May 5, 2010
My god you're a prick.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Was Nero?
I kid.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I get it.
Funny shit.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I didn't like Wak's use of Byrnes, however, it has to be said Wak seems to be an excellent manager of men
By taking Milton Bradley out yesterday in the middle of the game before he could do something crazy to the ump, I think Wak may have nipped a major incident in the bud and just made it minor.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=caple_jim&id=5166796
Reading this article it seems Milton Bradley is reacting in a more constructive way than his meltdowns before.
This is Wak’s strength, how he handles people well. Eventually players in slumps will start pereforming again.
Sam Regens - May 5, 2010
Jeff needs to lead the troops against the new posters much like Robert E Lee led the forces to Harpers Ferry.

Legalize that shit and you will have something popular going.

No, then you just have the Netherlands
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Well they have cheese and shit, it's not so bad.

Never said it was bad
Just that it’s been done.

Gotcha.

You don't fuck with Texas.
I’m pretty sure I saw that on a bumpersticker.

the other side - May 5, 2010
Plus good food.
the other side - May 5, 2010
The North had Philly.
I really like cheesesteaks.
harkening - May 5, 2010
They used to have the whole brotherly love deal too.
Cheesesteaks are great though.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I have two brothers.
Brotherly love is overrated.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Sorry about the whole shitting the bed and blaming on you thing...
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Alliance with the empire.
SBN = UK.
harkening - May 5, 2010
You've never heard of the famous Rally Hardtack at Pickett's Charge?
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
People took sides? Just seemed like the normal trainwreck.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
It started a few weeks ago
seattlebruin - May 5, 2010
I've followed
It just seemed it was most of LL vs. the one person who’s pushing it.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Can the sides form alliances with the rest of the blogosphere?
harkening - May 5, 2010
Is anybody else watching the documentary about John Brown on the History Channel right now?
Robert - May 5, 2010
This makes more sense now.
Is it any good?
the other side - May 5, 2010
Sadly no
On History international I have “The Next Nostradamus”.
and “Modern Marvels”. On the history channel. Modern. Marvels. History. Channel.
Goddamn it…godDAMN IT!
Karma Police - May 5, 2010
I'd rather watch Modern Marvels than Apocalypse Island
Apocalypse Island isn’t even some weird new reality show.
yakvalleycardinal - May 5, 2010
Wow I never realized that before.
the other side - May 5, 2010
I love Modern Marvels!
At least it’s not the Hitler Channel anymore.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Do you know how god damn annoying it is to know that missing a game thread means the game thread will be terrible?
I feel like Milton Bradley here.
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Sorry Captain :(
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Not your fault
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
Even so. I want the management to be happy. I feel like Mike Sweeney :(
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
You have inexplicable urges to hug people?
the other side - May 5, 2010
This wouldn't surprise me with RC.
And I’ve only been here a few months.
harkening - May 5, 2010
She's the reason people around here wear smiles.
BIG ONES.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Cliff Lee style smiles.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Looks like you and harkening get where I'm coming from!
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
A smile that breaks planes and fucks people up!
And pretzels! Oh, Lisa I miss you.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Is this leading to more 9/11 stuff?
the other side - May 5, 2010
NO.
It leads to pastries and Bo Jackson on Tecmo Bowl-type goodness. Motherfuckers testify.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
If theres pastries I'm fucking in.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Hanging out with RC
Is like milking a unicord that secretes quarters, gambling your riches away at an Aurora casino, then fucking little Debbie in the ear by saying, “Bitch – you ever tried comfort food this good?”
Yeah, it’s kind of like that.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
That sounds frightening and awesome all at the same time.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Other than the typos, it's awesome.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
I do have urges to hug people, but they aren't inexplicable.
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
You should be fine then.
the other side - May 5, 2010
You should design some kind of robot or clone Jeff to take your place in your absence
Or just a program that makes you post nonsensical random comments throughout the gamethread automatically.
OlSalty - May 5, 2010
We had one but it had an unhealthy obsession with dead Holocaust survivors.
BrianL - May 5, 2010
That's how he feels? Yikes.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
I feel like we really do our best
It just isn’t good enough. We’re kind of…. we’re kind of like Eric Byrnes
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Self awareness really hurts :(
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
"Eeeverybody huuuurts...."
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Eric Byrnes is happy
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
I think we're a pretty jolly bunch
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Ahaha
OlSalty - May 5, 2010
Speak for yourself sunshine.
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
Go fuck youself.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Fuck off
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Fuck your goddamned sunshine that RC called you.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Fuck everything you stand for and believe in
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
The Mariners are already fucked.
harkening - May 5, 2010
What does Turbonegro have to do with this??
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
You've lost me so I'm going to bed
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Goodnight.
May visions of Dungaree High flash through your head.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Byrnes got to play in a softball league tonight.
Lucky bastard.
MFAN - May 5, 2010
I wonder how much better Byrnes is than amateur softball players.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Lots
Jeff Sullivan - May 5, 2010
He's prancing circles around them.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
I hope he sees a butterfly
royalcurve - May 5, 2010
He would of done that anyways.
MFAN - May 5, 2010
Give me guns and I promise it won't happen ever again.
Robert - May 5, 2010
I have something more effective for you.
the other side - May 5, 2010
Hey guys! What did I miss?
(reads thread)
Oh…..ohhhhhh…….
I’m so sorry guys.
Benne - May 5, 2010
I think I'm a worse commenter than refuse2lose2010.
.Taylor - May 5, 2010
Sure, but MUCH better looking.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
Isn't there more to life than being ridiculously, ridiculously, good looking?
the other side - May 5, 2010
Really, really, ridiculously*
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
God I should see that again it's been awhile.
the other side - May 5, 2010
LL needs a Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good.
Edumahcate the readership, so to speak.
harkening - May 5, 2010
Did I fuck that up?
the other side - May 5, 2010
FUCH YOU.
kevin_ess - May 5, 2010
ZMOG - No Politics!
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
What is this a centre for ants?
the other side - May 5, 2010
I like what you did there.
TrustBaseball - May 5, 2010
Go Mariners!
Griffin Cooper - May 5, 2010
Stop it, Taylor
