COCONUT
You disgust me.
Fuck you coconut is great
In a Mounds bar.
Coconut is gross

Its like chewing cardboard

Just so.

This gentleman speaks truth.

The taste is fine. Coconut milk based curries are great.

Whoever thought sprinkling dried coconut on stuff improved them in any way is a retard.

ESPECIALLY ON THINGS
This thread needs more clowns.
I AM TRYING

THERE’S A REALLY GOOD GIF BUT THE SERVER IS DOWN

Thank you Tineye!

...what?
Humpty Dumpty.
I am constantly scarred by gifs on LL

And keep coming back to see them.

That freaks me right the fuck out
I like it
I don't know what you're trying to pull
The clown ban is lifted

It’s really quite simple

Fruit is never as tasty as it is when its forbidden
The LOLcat ban is lifted too
This is a trap
Clown LOLcats are an autorec
What is banned now?
This is making it very difficult to troll
I wonder if the Aston Villa blog still has rules
Back off that bitch is mine
Lay down your arms the war is over, Jeff has finally defeated us

:(

LL is going to shit
As I just posted...

Zombieland!
Probably one of the best zombies of all time.

I might put the zombie Hare Krishna in the original Dawn of the Dead ahead of him though.

Clown zombie went down waayyyy too easily.
Hare Krishna zombie at least caused some suspense by wandering down the wrong tunnel.
Mango, hands down
Dole has a juice blend.

Pineapple-peach-mango. It’s like drinking liquid Heaven. Olympian nectar.

I would opt for pineapple-orange-banana but really it's a choice between drinking heaven and Jesus
I have never seen the pineapple peach mango blend in anything other than individual 18 oz bottles.

If I could buy it by the carton, like pine-orange-banana, I would. I can’t even find it in concentrate. It’s an expensive addiction, but it’s healthier than cigarettes!

Pineapple.
Oh, wait, that's good too!
Yuni is my favorite tropical fruit
LET'S GO NATIONALS.

I have nothing to say about this game, or the Mariners right now.

Oh, and the answer is pomegranate.

Tangelo!
Just when the other thread was getting good.
Speaking of volcanos, man are they a violent igneous rock formation
Jeff recommended a F-R-I-E-N-D-S quote
Friends reminds me of happier days
I thought was Happy Days
Passion fruit
I turned off the game. I have no idea what is going on.

We’re losing though, right?

You posted at 9:19 in the other thread.
She's been following the game via the thread.
I was jesting of course.
.

Mango!

Wow, I haven't seen Weebl in a long time.
I thought for sure this was going to be the SNL skit.
I'm not an SNL fan.
I see you have good taste.
Dammit we're getting fucked
I assume that we're perpetually fucked until I heard otherwise.
Proper fucked?
We're like cheap whores
Yeah, before zee Germans get here
Right proper.
Dammit offense
I hate this team
MANGO.

Although given the circumstance, Durian might be more appropriate.

Remember that time Guti hit a home run?

That was awesome.

Wasn't it back when he played for Cleveland?
Jesus. How many K's does Figgins have?
28 before today's game. 21 BB
Hey Chone, take that dick out of your mouth
STOP SWING AND MUSSING
Be better, Chone :(
Don't want nothing but a good time, how can i resist, dont need nothing but a good time,

and it don’t get better than this! Name that band.

Poison.

This game is more fun than the Mariners! Keep going!

Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbow everything ....
Lesley Gore isn't a band.

She was a solo artist.

Mostly I was trying to induce good vibes, with thoughts of Felix.
Free association game!

Felix—>Mariners—>offense :-(

You can replace all the arrows with ">", and it is still a true statement!
People are still at Safeco. What gives?
It's bullshit, like when you see the video of when we landed on the moon.
Larry Stone says the exodus is happening
FUCK YOU GUY IN THE SEATS BEHIND HOME PLATE LAUGHING
Are they all women oblivious to the fact there is actually a game going on?

Otherwise I don’t know why they are still there. . . . .unless they are Rays fans.. . . or the bat boys mother.

Yeah, there's no way women would ever follow baseball.
Thats a great idea for M's marketing.

Target women, they don’t actually follow the team or watch the games so they won’t know how truelly shitty the team is.

They do have an annual stitch-n-pitch night.
Oh, how nice it will be to see a team that doesn't get timely hits.
Oh how nice it would be to be a team who gets timely hits.
THE CROWD IS DEAD SILENT
I think they're just dead.
Except for the really annoying screamers.
I left in the 7th

You know its bad when the loudest the stadium gets is when the college kids get off to the Moose dancing around like a tard in the upper deck.

Bananas
Agree.
Those stringy things down the sides are gross though
Apparently if you peel the banana from the bottom you don't get those.
I can honestly say I've never done this.
Or you just take an extra second to make sure their pulled off.
They are easier to open from the bottom.

Thats how monkeys do it. You just pinch the bottom and spread em apart.

Bananas?
Yes.
I still haven't tried it from the bottom

It looks so easy.

Oh I see what you were getting at....

B-an-an-as, go bananas!

Bananas are bleagh.
I hate all fruits except bananas.

I’m more of a vegetable person.

Sorry Dave Niehaus

Nobody wants to pay $2k to watch this team.

There are something like 10 people behind home plate
The month of May always sucks for this team.
So just 8 more runs and we're right back in this!
Put your rally caps on folks
LETS GO MARINERS
HEART OF THE ORDER DUE UP.
On other teams, this would mean so much.
The Mariners are the Tin Man of baseball because we do not have a heart
But in the end, the Wizard gives us a heart

Could this be a symbol of our journey from mediocrity to legitimate playoff contender?

The Angels are clearly the Wicked Witch of the WEST!

Symbolism!

It's a sign

Ozzie Smith will come out of retirement and lead us to the promised land

Last time i actually put on a rally cap

Langerhans hit a walk off.

But we have Ken Griffey Jr folks, he will definately hit a homerun. He is after all, Ken Griffey Jr
Remember when we had the bases loaded with one out and Rob Johnson struck out watching six straight pitches?
He should have walked
Yes that was shortly after I turned on gameday.
Better to strike out taking six pitches than ground out softly on the first one
And remember when that last pitch was way inside

and the ump was too busy sucking dick to notice. What an asshole.

He would've grounded into a double play anyway, yes even with 2 outs.

He’s that bad.

I'm watching the Rays feed,

and they just showed this little piece of awesomeness.

Looks amazingly like Mark Wahlberg.
Avacado!

I just blew your mind.

If it's your favourite you should really know how to spell it.
Alligator pear!
"Staying Alive" - Sims

Is that even possible at this point.

This is the Mariners' version of "staying alive"
Our lyrics come from the Necronomicon ex Mortis.
Klaatu Barada.... Necktie? Nickel....
Oh man I hope this game ends on a Griffey strikeout.
Or a slow grounder to second.

These are the only two acceptable outcomes.

Those are the only two possible outcomes
With a pulled hammy too!
I think he's afraid to pitch to him.

No, maybe not.

How about a "bring out the crazies" night.

Everyone wears a Milton Bradley or Carl Everett shirt.

Is Jose Guillen crazy enough?
HE JUST MISSED IT
21 and 7! These guys are good, I'm so glad they're leaving
We play them next week.
Not I

now we’ll have to watch 2 shitty teams instead of 1

Yeah but we have a chance of winning a couple games before we get flattened again
Rays are at .750 winning percentage.
Tip of the hat to them. They are playing well.
6 in a row vs 7 in a row tomorrow.

Can’t wait!

Special kids fight.
We're gonna get swept.
This is very possible.
This next series is going to be the woooooooorst
They're playing that LFO song as the crowd leaves.

That’s cruel.

FELIX DAY TOMORROW!
Wait there was a baseball game
Wow, the last M on base was the Ichiro hit in the 5th.
Today's gamethreads were great.
I had fun.
The worst games seem to produce the best threads
If they keep this up we could go with just one game thread!
Where we'd never talk about games!
Tui has run a 4/8 K/BB in four games since going to Tacoma.

WHAT

Triple A is not as good as the MLB.

Newsflash.

I know that better than most people here.

And still find this to be outrageous.

I did not see this on the news...
You're so sweet!
Good thing you said so because it's not like Jay would know this better than most people
I'm not in favor of "panicking" this early in the season

But I would like to see a sense of urgency with this team. Someone needs to step up and light a fire under these guys.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a pleasure.
Poll question:

Wasn’t common opinion that the Rays would be a bit worse off this year, and should finish third in the AL East? Is this coming out of nowhere? Or am I just a big dummy?

Popular media.

Grain of salt.

I heard a few predictions saying they'd win the Wild Card

A few others say they’d win the division. I really hope they win the division. I don’t want to watch the Yankees or Sox win it.

I don't think anyone thought they'd win the division but they were in the conversation for second/wild card.
Most estimations had them about even with the Red Sox, maybe a win worse.

But with the Sox OF injuries and the Rays being awesome and athletic, it’s easy to see why they’re in first.

I understand why the Red Sox are doing so well.

I guess I just am not sure if the Rays are overperforming or if this was more or less expected.

Here.

RLYW did a great simulation using pretty much every projection system possible. The Rays were projected to 91.2 wins, the Sox at 92.9. They’ll cool off, sure, but when they’re opponents are US, you expect that to be the moment they rack up wins.

I think they're definitely overperforming a little

They’re hitting at a ridiculous rate with RISP

Good GT tonight.

Felix pitching tomorrow, something to look forward to. Night all!

Good night, Atlanta.
Beltre makes me happy.
He plays for the Red Sox! =(
But I still love him
He's like an ex-girlfriend.

Love him, but he broke my heart and is now with the enemy. He no longer makes me happy. He makes me sad.

I want him to be like 2004 Ichiro.

Incredible season, complete team futility.

This would be acceptable.
Fuck Happy Red Sox Beltre.
Fuck you, Beltre deserves his happiness.
Red Sox Beltre
I LIKE GUAVA
If we can't beat the Angels then we're dead.
The Mariners only have three players batting over .220 this year.

Gutierrez, Jack Wilson, and Ichiro. :..(

We could win the next 6 games and I won't feel good.

Not until we play quality baseball against a quality team.

Sweeping the Angels would make feel fucking great.
PANCAKES
...a very nutritious fruit indeed.
Well, that went well.

Oh, and it’s a tie between Mai Tais, Mango Margaritas, and Pina Coladas. I like my tropical fruit with alcohol.

I for one welcome our new clowns
Strawberries!
FUCK ALL OF THESE STUPID CUNTS I HATE THEM AND I HATE THIS TEAM AND I HATE THE SEATTLE MARINERS

GO PIRATES OR OR NATS OR WHATEVER

.

FUCK ALL OF YOU
IN THE EAR WITH A THOROUGHBRED'S DICK
BY YOU I MEAN YOU, DON WAKAMATSU
AND YOU, JACK ZDURIENCIK
YES, EVEN YOU
FUCK YOU YOU BALD FATTIE
LOL FELIX IS CALLING LOL
