Great- sac fly gives them the go ahead run.
Passed ball!
But a fly ball on Aardsma?

Inconceivable!

Time to retire Rob!
Way to earn that playing time Rob
OH MY GOD STOP DROPPING THE BALL WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU
Go suck a fuck, Rob Johnson.
In Japan, most catchers would have killed themselves in shame.
Johjima....

I miss him

Johjima was a man...going out the way he did. Got treated like crap by teammates (this means you, Bus), just packed it in, saved the team some cash. A Man.
Holy fuck me he dropped another
FUCK YOU ROB.
FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU WEREN'T EVEN IN THAT THREAD
Well this isn't even interesting.

We are boned.

I'm going to go watch the Rob Johnson nut shot gif again
That possibly would have been DP but for our "catcher."
Oh shit we are so lucky on that play.
Aardsma isn't exactly doing him favors.
How many pitchers still like throwing the Rob Johnson?
Rob Johnson works well with the pitching staff.*

*Boilerplate

Heart attack.
Whew, thank you Josh
Still not catching the ball, Rob.

That’s your problem.

I like Josh Wilson.
I am so worried.
Yes, someone tell Rob he was suppose to fall on his sword back in Feb.
that was a gift.
That there was "good" Aardsma.
Giving up a screaming line drive that happened to be hit directly at a fielder?
Getting really lucky on well hit balls is kinda his thing.

Thusly why I hate him as a pitcher.

Yes. When he's on, he's good at it.
He looked like he was about 12 right there.
The passed ball was a minimum 11% drop in WE

thanks Rob!

9%!
Oh, I did the difference between 1 out runner on third and one out runner on 2nd
Fucking Mariner killer.

Jason Kubel.

Mauer's going to score on a strike 3 passed ball
Mariners baseball!
This seems right
Like we could ever get beaten by somebody named Kubel
I am nervous
The White Gallaraga.
HE'S CAUGHT TWO IN A ROW GIVE HIM A FUCKING LOLLIPOP SOAKED IN ACID!!!
Worst idea ever.
The chemist in me just started doing a calculation in my head to find the pH of that sucker.

I’m such a nerd.

Different acid...
Lewis acid?
Other kind.
Oh drugs, well thats a whole different calculation.
Bronsted Acid?
LSD is a base.

Seriously.

Learn something new every day....
People think LSD is actually acidic?

Oh wow..

Do you want him to burn his mouth or trip balls?
This is a harder choice than I initially thought it would be.
The low pH acid would dissolve the lollipop
I'm a music major.

Is that the kind that Raiders of the Lost Ark’s his mouth?

Let's leave that with a yes.
I saw we reward him with LSD, punish with the stuff that burns.
Is there any kind of child's candy I could soak in the burny acid

that won’t make the candy dissolve too fast?

Just shoot him in the fucking mouth and get it over with.
Before or after we give him the lollipop?
Probably not

You’ll have to settle for just throwing conc. sulfuric acid in his face/junk

Well marriage has taught me the value of compromise.
This is probably the best life decision.
Both!

It would make for a hilarious juxtaposition of sensations.

The acid would probably decompose the acid.
Meaning it would burn the hell out of his mouth with out letting him trip balls. Perfect.
It would dissolve the acid and the lollipop
Thirty second interval.
Catch the ball before you look at Mauer, Rob, you ass
That is the look of a man who is on the field with catching perfection.

Look don’t touch ,Rob.

Oh my god a chance!
I predict a fastball.
I can breathe again
AHAHAHA AND JOSH WILSON SAVES THE DAY
Glorioski.
Well that was a lucky inning
We are so incredibly lucky.
Crisis averted!
I cannot believe he escaped that.
I think Milton called off the fans on that flyball
He has a worse sense of direction than my old lady.
I'm going to fall over.

Please win.

Oh sweet jesus thank you bradley you saint
Milton walk-off jack?

Please.

MB waved the wall off.
Milton Bradley needs to win us this game.

I really really really want Milton Bradley to walk off here.

Guti & Sweeney get on

Milton knocks them in?

Chances of a Langersex sighting?
Who is that?
This guy we show the big leagues but don't actually let him play.

Wak likes seeing people suffer. Thats why Rob and Sean are constantly out there.

You mean Ryan Louderhouse?
Please please please please walkoff

I fucking hate this team.

Aardsma inning over.
No harm, no foul

Rob is good again.

You're joking of course.
Yes

But I like to pretend I know what goes through Wak’s mind

I hope Griffey rides in on a white horse from center field and pinch hits for a walk off home run.
It would be funnier if he rode in on a white horse from center field and pinch hit for a game ending weak grounder to second base
The roster spot is still open!
He'd have to wear Bradley's jersey
When Bard and Moore get back, you guys think there is a chance Rob will be sent down?
Not with the two aces requesting him.
Lee has worked with Bard before, even this year
He better.
I bet we trade him for Miguel Ojeda
Hell no

Now that White is back, he, Wak, Tui, and Rob have the whole gang back together.

We are going to extra innings with a 24 man bench thanks to Griffey
I hate those 24 man benches
Well, it gives us a better chance of seeing Langerhans or Saunders

Rather than Junior.

It isn't like Wak uses his bench anyway...
He did with Griffey on it!
I predict a Bradley walkoff in the 11th.
Quickly!

Who is our best reliever? Aardsma, League, or Kelley?

I would say Kelley as of right now.
I'm inclined to say Kelley.
Kelley. I wish League was...
Sans the League Death Pitch, Kelley.
Aardsma.

And I’m a massive Kelley fanboy.

I hope Milton hits a walk-off and Griffey comes out of nowhere and hugs everyone!
I said it already, but Milton Bradley will hit a walk off HR

As he crosses the plate, he will hold up his fingers, 2 and 4, for his idol.

Not if Sweeney does it first!
I hope someone punches Rob Johnson in the balls.
That already happened.
Eric Chavez is my hero
I hope they do it again.
"Ready to rock" isn't how I would describe that lady
Bradley needs to come up to the plate with his helmet on backwards.
I dare say, ol' chap, he's having a ... Guerrier year!
PINCH HIT LANGERHANS NOW
Graham sighting!
More common than a Langerhans sighting.

Yay!(?)

Did that really look like a potential hit, cheering fans?
Sometimes cheerers go on autopilot and cheer every time they hear a crack

I do that sometimes, even if I’m paying careful attention

Baseball games can get really, really boring in person. I mean the whole between innings shit and all. Anything happening is worth a clap.
I'm the opposite

I find it so much easier to pay attention to a whole game in person

Depends on the game. I can watch a good pitchers dual in any setting.
If Sweeney hits it out

It will make for an extremely entertaining most game interview.

Their bullpen is way better than ours.
In those situations, we should put Bradley behind Rob Johnson to catch passed balls.

I trust Franklin and Ichiro to cover three positions more than I trust Rob to cover one position.

Too bad we don't have a veteran lefty to pinch-hit
HACK HAKC HACK HACK HACK CAKDHKBCcqd!
I thought Sims said "Here comes Yuni".

His swings would show I heard right.

Come on Paul Bunyan, Lumber jack that shit.
Well whatever plate discipline Sweeney had for a little bit is completely gone now.
Mauer is a shitty catcher.
Its set up for Milton!
I want to go over to Twinkie Town and ask them

What’s it like to have Joe Mauer as your catcher? We can only imagine.

I just want to have a competent Major Leaguer at catcher, much less Joe Mauer
We should ask the Giants

They have about five catchers.

Yes and the only ML-caliber player of the bunch is playing first base
I'd take just not the worst baseball player ever.
The worst player in baseball already retired
Griffey for catcher!
Seriously I'd like to see us put Sweendawg back behind the plate

He’d get injured within a week

Must be like, not only do you get to have sex with a hot chick, you can have sex with the supermodel of your choice.
This is not what I requested!!!!
COME ON MILTON!
Rob is wearing off on Joe maybe that's why he's still around.

To fuck with the mind of the opposing teams catcher.

More more Sweeney please.
What the hell, I meant to type No More Sweeney
Milton will win this game all by himself
Oh hey Mr. Tofte.
I LOVE YOU MILTON

The caps means I really love him.

I still love him.
MLB.com's site background is a chicken.

I’m confused.

Hackers that hate Jim Joyce
A Bradley blast here would be the absolute best moment of the season
Let's see angry black man!
Please no extra innings.
Same fucking pitch you cunt of an umpire.
At least its not Jim Joyce.
COME ON MB!
Same fucking pitch you cunt of an umpire.
Thought he went around.
Mauer is terrific at framing the pitch
If MB doesn't hit it out

there’s a distinct possibility that he will have to go to Big Sur for group therapy.

Well then.
HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE!
WOOOOOOOOOO!
That pitch is pretty good.
Loafie will save us!
We blow at extras
I had the Arizona/ L.A. game on earlier today & now this what a way to spend a day.
0-6!
At least we can't lose on a walk off again!
And no runs scored
I feel like Brandon League changes his look pretty frequently.
The Danger Zone
FREEEEE BASEBALLLLLLL!
LETS PLAY 24 INNINGS IN HONOR OF GRIFFEY
This team has made me hate extra innings
So, this days fan torture is to let Aardsma tightrope-walk through a perilous 9th

and then kill us in extras.

Now you've gotten msb GTEing.

You fellas HAD BETTER come through tonight.

That beef jerky commercial with Sasquatch should use Milton Bradley instead.
"Messing with Milton"
The correct ending to this game would be a loss due to shoddy umpiring.
You almost called it.
A League of our own

Boo..

The Tigers nearly physically assaulted Jim Joyce.
Gerald Laird seemed the most upset
Armando laughed
He cracked a smile right after like he thought Joyce was joking.
The the guy who got the hit looked sad too

He looked disbelieving and had his hands on his head.

Maybe we should blame him for hustling
Even though he's not to blame at all

I would imagine he’s feeling some weird sort of guilt being in the middle of all of it.

Would anyone happen to have a p2p link?
I want to post a link to lemonparty here but I don't want to face the punishment.
I found it hilarious
Whats the worst that can happen.
I could get banned and not get Matthew to unban me.
Risk worth taking.
Agree to Disagree
I've become such a giant fucking pussy
Maple Valley will do that.
Yes having literally nothing to do other than post on LL does that.
You could hunt or some shit.

Or make fun of Black Diamond for somehow having less to do.

I am the whitest person in the world

I’m so white that I don’t even belong here.

Is there any other kind?
I'm not gonna agree to that shit.
Smoldering of the corneas.
justin.tv slash mcasthq2
Wooo Loafie
Thome time

Punto punted from the game.

The Twins clearly hustle more than us
God, every fucking time. IT IS STOLE NOT STOLED RICK. FUCKING STOP IT.
These Twins really ground out the right way.
Does anybody here believe Thome did roids?
Everyone did roids
I don't.

I hope he didn’t at least.

Yes

Every one used steroids

Every
Single
One
Used
Chone Figgins on roids.

Now there is a picture.

I kinda think Ichiro is on some sort of super futuristic Japanese gene treatment.
Probably, he has such weird muscling.
EVE!-RY!-ONE!
Oh David Eckstein, how could you?
At least Brady Anderson and Bret Boone were clean. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if they did it too.
Roids speculation is frowned upon around here.
He has lasted an awfully long time on an older players' skill set
Roids don't keep your bat speed up
Graham did Roids.

He’s been gone for two months because he was caught and was serving his suspension.

I believe I really don't care who used roids and who didn't
I care that Edgar didn't.

That’s about the extent of it.

Hemorrhoids?
WINNING TIME!
C'mon guys win it for Griffdogg!
Talk about catching a break
I will go out a on a limb and call a Rob Johnson walkoff homer
Holy shit. Just got home from work.

What a day to be missing out on sports.

Yeah, you really missed a lot.
That's what I said.
Did they replace Jr's spot on the roster? Or is that move coming soon?
That makes like 3 open spots, but I think someone is coming up for Jr.
Loafie!!!!
Loafie fucking sucks
In honor of Ken Griffey, Jr's last season, the M's are not hitting. Remember the Griffster.
I'd like to see some excessive celebration by the home team, please.
We don't want to get a penalty though
Yeah don't Jake Locker that shit.
You mean get kind of excited about a great play?
I felt horrible for him after watching that game.

Absolutely atrocious rule to begin with.

That was fucking bullshit.

I almost took a bat to my TV.

BJ would use the distraction to club the new guy in the knees.
Tui walk-off grand slam.
We don't want anyone breaking their ankle

Unless its Rob.

Tolbert FAIL!
BASERUNNER!
Pinch run please?
Alright! Rob Johnson hero time!
Pinch Run!

Langersex or Tui?

Whoever drives in the winning run for us tonight

Gets to cut off Griffey’s head and absorb his powers ala Highlander

I don't think anyone is prepared to absorb the power of that ass
I WANT LANGERHANS
Please stop playing that stupid song Safeco.
There are much worse songs.
Which one?

Zombie Nation or the White Stripes one?

The stupid chanty one-Seven something something.
Seven Nation Army.
Kotchman has weird luck.

Hard hit balls=out, softly hit = hit.

WHAT THE FUCK IS LANGERHANS FUCKING DEAD
Why burn an extra player?
Eliezer Alfonzo PHing? What the fuck did Ryan Langerhans do to you, Wak?
Sex everything in sight?
Crowd is jacked up over this journeyman
Okay, I can dig this
HOLY FUCK A PINCH HIT FOR SHITFUCKFACE
Alfonzo?

Seriously?

If Langerhans is this hurt, he should just go on the DL
Did Langerhans fuck Wakamatsu's wife?
Maybe he didn't.

That could be the problem.

Riding the hot bat again huh
RYAN LANGERHANS WOULD NOT HAVE SWUNG AT THAT
Yes pinch hit the righty against the righty-killer instead of one of your two lefties.
LOL

I think we just got some insight into Wak’s opinion of RJ’s offense.

No chatspeak
PLU Tim has been around forever.
And may punch you or your children in the face
One of my favorite diaries!
They're now called FanPosts!
Stupid SBN 2.0
Holy shit,
Walk off triple!

I’m calling it.

Kotchman might not be able to score on a triple
So that was acknowledging that a career minor leaguer catcher is a better bat than our starting catcher?
Probably had more to do with Eliezer's recent performance
And that he's a better hitter than Rob Johnson while simultaneously being a terrible hitter.
Well this is a move
Let's have Kotchman steal second while we're at it
We're going to the 14th.
22, for how many years Griffey played.
14 for how many years he was good.
0 for how many times I will ever have to see him again
Yeah right, I expect at least 30 appearances, for first pitches and shit like that.
Plus he will probably get another 12th man flag raising.
Over my deadbody does he get it again before about half other more deserving people do it first.
I hope they save Walter for something good.

Or just let him do it the whole fucking season.

This I agree with.

I was fucking pissed that they didn’t save Mack Strong for the playoffs

God I know.

Damn we didn’t appreciate him of Walter enough.

More like 12
Couldn't care less what happend there. Just thrilled that Wak sent his golden boy catcher a message.

Maybe this sick enfatuation with Johnson is ending

Hoepfully Wakamatsu punched Johnson in the nuts before he pinch hit for him.
C'mon, Paperboy.
My New Starting Lineup

1B Ryan Langerhans
LF Michael Saunders
DH Milton Bradley
C Jack Hannahan

Time for Ichiro to win it.
Can we pinch run for Kotchman now?
Thank you.
Yes. Langerhans at last.
Ichiro with a chance to win the game. Let's do this.
Way to go J.W.
Jack isn't getting his job back
I'm beginning to fear that you're right
No kidding.

Guess whose hitting .295

Guess who!
Langerhans!
Good thing we have a burner at second huh
Langerhans in to pinch run?!!!
He's NOT dead! He's FOUND!
Should have done that already.
LANGERHANS!
We're scoring for sure!
OK, now we need Ichiro to walk, Figgins to get out

then somehow Langerhans hits a walkoff dinger in the 12th

Langerhans is pinch-running
So in baseball, when you substitute running for another player

you are then permitted to assume that player’s place in the defensive field in the following innings as well as their place in the batting lineup from that point forth.

What I am hoping is that we don’t score now, and that Kotchman’s spot in the “batting order” will come up again, permitting Langerhans to bat, and then he can hit a “dinger”

Yeah I don't want it to go that long
Langerhans is not dead, but he's up 9th!
FOR JUUUNNNIIIOOOORRRR!
Somewhere in Seattle a young Asian man is jumping up and down with delight
I live in San Diego
Didn't know Langerhans was popular with that demographic
I live in Everett.
Can Langerhans play 1st?
Yes he can.
Langerhans can do whatever the fuck Langerhans wants.
Holy balls, when the fuck did Kotchman get a hit?
Misplayed ball by the 2B
SMILE! SMILE!
We come again!
WE COME AGAIN!
NOW we use Langerhans,

We could probably have a runner at 3rd now if they did this sooner.

Nah, Brumley would have sent him home.
We come again
SNOQUALMIE AGAIN!
I take it the elbow isn't effected when already on 2nd but, somehow is if he were at 1st?
WE COME AGAIN

RALLY CRY!

SMILE! SMILE! SNOQUALMIE AGAIN!
I wonder if Don will put Tui at first if we don't win it right now.
Thank God Langerhans knows how to play first.

And he’s actually not half bad either.

Langerhans stays in I'd guess.
WE COME AGAIN!
I wonder what visiting fans think when they read these game threads

We come again!

Lefty on the mound- gotta try to steal 3rd here
Ok, just don't let them score for a couple innings so Langerhans can hit one out.
ICHRO! ICHIRO ICHIRO!
DO IT FOR JUNIOR
I want Ichiro to get Griffey's walkoff so badly right now.
STOP SWINING AT PITCHES IN THE DIRT!

Jeeze Ichiro…

This just isn't your night Ichiro.
Ichiro sure is flailing a lot tonight
This is one of those days where, at least so far, Ichiro has looked straight up lost.
Can't blame him, his best friend retired
I thought he would have been over McLaren by now.
Come on Ichi!
Ichiro looks so bad when he looks bad.
I would love to listen to the conversations between Felix and Bedard
Felix: I love my arm

Bedard: I love my broken arm.

"Got any water bottles?"
I imagine something like this:

Bedard: Haha, my curve has more break than yours.
Felix: Jajajaja, maybe, but my elbow works.

EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS
A stadium full of sheep
Unlike all those other stadiums, amirite?
So Ichiro's age has caught up to him right?
Yup, overnight.
I hate it when that happens
Sad isn't it?

Like watching my grampa at a computer. Some one should stop this.

It's like Baseball Mogul

At the beginning of the season when you buy the game he’s like an 86 overall, and by the time the first season is over he’s down to 75 every single fucking time

Like Lopez last year, 14 foul offs to walk off.
See. Fuck Yeah.
Even on a bad night, Ichiro sees more pitches than Rob Johnson can catch.
Why does Ichiro have a pad protecting his lower upper arm?
What's a lower upper arm?
It's right above his elbow.
Why does Ichiro do anything?
And not his elbow?
It's where you put an elbow pad that's not an elbow pad.
Gun-lock.

There are children at the game.

If Ichiro singles, Brumley sends Langerhans NO MATTER WHAT
Brumley would send Langerhans no matter what happened
Well it worked on that one
How many pitches has Ichiro taken this game

Its got to be north of 20

Pretty sure he could have taken at least 2 walks by now.
Taken? Hardly any

He’s fouled off quite a few though

Damnit

I hate when I get the terminology mixed up.

I’ll learn

I really hope Ichiro is just toying with the pitcher.
C'mon dinger
I'm feeling that its going to be another strikeout
This has the feeling of an epic Ichiro at bat that concludes in a game winning base hit.
Or a brutal K on a slider in the dirt
Good call, dude.
time to fucking bunt.
Time. Sorry.
This at bat is approaching epicness.
Ichiros looking out for the fans on the thrid baseline

Lots of souvenirs.

MARINERS WIN!
SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bahahahaha

What the fuck.
WE COME AGAIN!
WE DID IT FOR JUNIOR!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN!?!?!!?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG

Holy shit I thought he was out.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WE WON HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!!!!!
Well. That was odd
Uhhhhh was he out?
THAT IS THE DOILY TO END ALL FUCKING DOILIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walk-off doiley.
Ichiro planned it this way

so it is not a doily.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LANGERHANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That wasn't how I expected it to happen, but I'll take it!
ICHIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE LOOKED SO OUT AT SECOND BASE TOO
JOYCE!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!!
Worst walk off hit ever!

But yay

Wow. I think Josh Wilson was out.
Bad call.

WE WIN!!!

ICHIRO ICHORI OCHIOR ICHORO ICHIOC ICHOIRO ICHIRO
Right in front of the 24!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
UNESERVED VICTORY IS SO MUCH SWEETER THAN DESERVED LOSING!!!!
I FUCKING LOVE THAT MAN
ITS A CLIFFMAS MIRACLE!!!!
WE WON IT FOR GRIFFDOGG!!!
Yeah, sex for sure, but I think he was out at 2nd.
Oh my god what happened
JIM JOYCE REDEEMED!
Whatever just happend broke gameday
I think that was a bad call too...

WE COME AGAIN!

LEAGUE WITH THE WIN
ICHIRO WINS IT FOR GRIFFEY!
Mariners baseball.
He's out.
Who gives a fuck we deserve on of these.
See what happens when you play Ryan?!
Oops, the paperboy looks out on the replay.
Er, what happened, for those of us on Gameday?
Grounder up the middle saved by the 2B, tossed to the SS covering second and appeared to make the out, but called safe.

Sparklehorse scores.

Gotcha, thanks.
Paperboy is called safe at second on a scoop by Twin's second baseman, Langerhans kept running all the way home.
BAHAHAHHAHA
YAY BLOWN UMP CALLS!!!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIIIRRROOOOOOOOO

SSSSSSSUUUUZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I would've bet my life savings that the Mariners would be on the receiving end of a blown call and lose the game.
I wager you your life savings that we will be at the end of a blown call at the end of the game tomorrow and we lose.
Dang

Ichiro 0-5… How rare is that?

How rare would that be?
HAHAHAHA HE WAS OUT
Milton is tearing up about Griffey on the radio

It’s adorable

MILTON IS GONNA CRY AGAIN

I LOVE THAT MAN

Milton is getting choked up on radio side.
Hahah so out

I’m glad we are on the other end of the bad call

Completely out.

Fitting.

Fuck instant replay.
So yeah Wilson was out but WOOOOO
He was fucking out. That's awesome.
Joe Mauer's reaction is priceless when the pitcher cuts the throw off
I saw that too. Not like it mattered though.
It didn't but it was still funny
I really didn't get that one.
Why on earth would you cut a throw off ten feet from home plate when the winning run is running towards the plate?
It's like something Julio Mateo would do.
Theres a guy i haven't thought of in a while. Wow.
Or Manny.
Or Eric Byrnes
AHAHAHAHA ROBOTS
D'awwww, Milton choked up on the radio :(
ICHIRO IS ADORABLE
Umpires are dumb
HOLY SHIT ICHIRO!!
Holy crap Ichiro was as animated as he's EVER been.
That was amazing!
Dude's got hops.
I want gif of his watching and then leap
WINDMILL AT 3RD WON US THE GAME!
I LOVE TERRIBLE CALLS THERE WILL BE NO REPLAYS EVER
What a terrible call.
Umpires suck a lot, for not us.
Ichiro jumping on to Tinsley... what...
Awww, Ichiro found a different old black man to hug!
I almost died laughing when I read this.
Well Tinsley and Griffdawg WERE drafted the same year...

…so it’s almost the same.

Ha, Ichiro celebrates his slow roller for the W!
This is how he planned it.
Doilies Baseball

You gotta love these umps.

And that may just be Seattle's second most annoying run tonight.
Wait what?

We won?

"We love you Junebug."

D’awww

That was pretty great.
This makes up for some of the bad calls that shafted us before.

Yes!!!!

Boy, it is about time the Ms got a gift.
Ichiro jumping up and down warms my heart.
Langerhans gets an interview after not playing for 6 weeks
They have to prove that he is alive.
That was such a satisfying win

:D

This Bradley interview is epic.
God I wish I could hear it.
Milton Bradley is in tears, sniffling, and talking about Griffey on the radio.

It’s awesome.

DAMMIT I MISSED IT
I fucking love him.
That was great. I love you Milton.
Milton is giving one of the most powerful interviews I've ever heard.
Would have been a Brumley beatdown here if Tolbert doesnt flip to second and just stands up

and throws home

Ryan on the radio, too!
What's funny is that cal had more impact on a game than Joyce's call did, yet will never hear about this one again.
"Hall of Fame person -- forget about baseball."

-Milton on Griffey.

:)

Oh man, Milton you're the best.
Oh God now I'm crying.
WINDMILL WINDMILL WINDMILL!
Milton Bradley is amazing

“I shed a lot of tears earlier, I don’t want to do it right now… he made me want to crash into walls. Made me want to hit left-handed. Made me want to style on a home run. I wanted to try to will a victory tonight. i wanted to win one for Griff.”

I love him so much.
God dammit.

I love Milton so hard.

NEVER LEAVE US MILTON
Never, ever say that Milton Bradley doesn't care about his teammates
Wow, now I look back on all the things said about him. Just wow.
Yeah, he may have had anger issues, but he's always been a good person.

This is why Mariners fans >> Cubbies fans.

I love Milton so much.

While he’s everyone else’s most hated player, he has to be one of my favorites now.

And by everyone, I mean everyone outside of Seattle.
I'm literally about to buy a jersey with his name on it.

Even though the immature part of me makes me want to buy a Fister one instead.

I want him to do well more than anyone else on the team

Dude deserves it

That is so awesome
Well since Griffey never hit a dinger

WOOOOOOOO MARINERS WIN IN EXTRAS WOOOOOOOOOO

I wonder if anyone is still doing the Griffey challenge.
Griffey has sent two unlucky users into permanent chastity.
First Extra Inning Victory of the Season!

YEAH!

This was just meant to be!!!!
It was a fitting end for Griffey with that game

And his best friend hit the game winner. That’s just how it should have gone.

Griff last homer....

I know it didn’t count, but was it the walk off grand slam in spring training? Any chance that the person with that original recording could make some cash off that in the future?

Hilarious Ichi wins it on an infield single.
Holy shit. Best interview ever. Don't ever leave us Milton.
After listening to Milton and watching Ichiro, yeah know what? I don't care about the last few months all of a sudden.

Goodbye Junior. You’re one of the greatest of all time.

Yeah, I mean wow I care again. This is weird.
It is. Wow.
Milton is my favorite player now.

Without a doubt.

Anywhere I could find the Bradley post game interview?

Bummed that I missed it, I don’t get KOMO or whatever station Seattle gets.

Brumley said "Whoa!" as Langerhans rounded third...

good thing Langerhans isn’t a horse…

Please... It's not as if Brumley's stopped anyone else at third this year. They may as well just put up a sign that reads "Go" in the third base coach's box.
Baseball can be so great.
He's crying on tv!
MB interview on FSN now
Damn it. My TV blanked right after the winning run.
Milton on the TV side now
This guy isn't a monster

You can tell he cares about the game and his team so much.

Milton TV interview!
GAH I WANT TO SEE MILTON'S INTERVIEW.

All fortunate people who can see it, please transcribe.

We're perfect in June for Junebug :)
He's about to sob.
Jeez so am I.

JUUUNNNIIIOOOORRRRR!

Milton, stay with us forever...

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Jen Mueller getting sloppy seconds with another Milton Bradley interview on FSN.
I love Milton Bradley like a son
I love him like a Brother.
Hooray victory!
"It's what he would have wanted."

He isn’t dead..

Loved the interviews though. Go Milton.

"Junior would be proud."

The broadcast team is talking like Junior died.

The catalyst for the 2010 World Champion Seattle Mariners
Worked for Adenhart.
HAHAHAHA

Milton did the suck it gesture with Ichiro.

After his tv interview?
No after Ichiro jumped on Tinsley
Right after the game-winning hit.

When everyone was mobbing Ichi.

Oh, I guess I'll have to wait for the highlight online.
Y'know what...

On the center field view of the play at second, looks like the ball hit dirt first before going into Hardy’s glove… I don’t think that call was blown after all.

However, the umpire is standing on the pitcher’s mound side of second base… how the fuck would he see that?

Something I've always wondered about umpire placement on plays at second.
In general, that positioning is much better since the fielder will usually be going towards the outside of the base and from there it's easier to see third/pitching rubber
I actually thought about this.

It was certainly closer than it looked, I think.

Yeah, on that angle it looked way closer.
God, I'm all the way back up to excitement.
7 games out with three teams to pass.

Don’t leave us! The Tropic of Cairo is so cozy.

You are a terrible person you know that?
So what did Bradley say besides sob?
Griffey is awesome
Ah.
It was not that deep

But it was emotional and heartfelt.

Love him.
Back in my day, men didn't cry.
But before your day, they did all the time.
He's Milton Bradley

He can cry if he wants to.

He played with Griffey for not that many games

And Griffey had that a positive impact on him? Impressive…

Two words- chemical imbalance.
Most certainly
Milton is better than you

…it’s true.

I can swallow my own fist, can Milton do that?
When the media was all over him, Griffey went to bat for him.

No pun intended.

Well, there's that...
Childhood hero
Griffey is the last of my childhood stars to retire
Just out of curiosity, who were the other ones?
Drexler, Jordan, Bonds, Elway, folks like that

I was born in 1981

Seven years before you, mine were Mattingly, Marvin Haggler, Chuck Yeager and Rick Mears.

First extra-inning win?

and back at 500 at home.

First extra inning RUN!

Let alone first win.

Holy shit.

Thats a bit painful.

Hey, they're back to playing .400 ball...
The only thing worse than Mike Brumley's stories is his in-game coaching decisions.
We should save the teams personal problems for tomorrow

Tonight its all about Jr.

Why don't we parade Alvin Davis out there more often?
I'm not sure he is that interested

in making appearances
