First Half In Review: Mariners As Things In Or Near My Apartment

Yeah I probably shouldn't clutter up the front page with all this.

Star-divide

Eliezer Alfonzo

Mariners_001_medium

These are crumbs and they're kind of a mess

Josh Bard

Mariners_002_medium

This lamp is really useful but it gets really hot sometimes

Milton Bradley

Mariners_003_medium

Watermelon sounds good but it sure doesn't look very stable on the counter

Russell Branyan

Mariners_004_medium

A delivery!

Eric Byrnes

Mariners_005_medium

These are penguin salt and pepper shakers that glide forward on the table if you pull their wheels back. They're awesome and totally ridiculous

Mike Carp

Mariners_006_medium

Well I guess if I had to

Chone Figgins

Mariners_007_medium

This seemed really promising in the store at the time but boy does it suck

Ken Griffey Jr.

Mariners_008_medium

Yeah I don't think we can use these again

Franklin Gutierrez

Mariners_009_medium

Ever since we got this fan I don't know how I lived without it

Ichiro

Mariners_010_medium

What a beautiful orchid in such a shitty pot

Rob Johnson

Mariners_011_medium

Trash

Casey Kotchman

Mariners_012_medium

I really wanted watermelon one day and we bought one but this watermelon is gross and now I don't know what to do with it

Ryan Langerhans

Mariners_013_medium

This stuff works really well but I pretty much never use it since I rarely get bitten by bugs or like trip into poison ivy

Jose Lopez

Mariners_014_medium

The only thing I trust this to do is keep a bag twisted shut

Adam Moore

Mariners_015_medium

Well these clearly aren't ready to eat

Michael Saunders

Mariners_016_medium

I just got this the other day as a promo item and I know it can do really cool stuff but I don't know how to use it yet so it's annoying

Justin Smoak

Mariners_017_medium

I had a really good time at Crater Lake and wish I never had to leave, but, hey, souvenir

Mike Sweeney

Mariners_018_medium

Man, this was fun. Sure was a while ago

Matt Tuiasosopo

Mariners_019_medium

Big trash

Jack Wilson

Mariners_020_medium

These pillowcase are spectacularly ugly but now I kind of like them

Josh Wilson

Mariners_021_medium

Well I guess worse comes to worse I could wear these again

David Aardsma

Mariners_022_medium

He's not there right now but there's a spider outside of the window in the office and every time I look out the window I get terrified

Jesus Colome

Mariners_023_medium

You are one lousy webcam

Chad Cordero

Mariners_024_medium

Some things you should leave in the garbage

Doug Fister

Mariners_025_medium

So simple, so delicious

Luke French

Mariners_026_medium

This is a corner. There's nothing special about this corner and it looks a lot like other corners

Felix Hernandez

Mariners_027_medium

I love my PS3 and I wish I could play with it every day

Shawn Kelley

Mariners_028_medium

This thing is awesome and we should use it more

Brandon League

Mariners_029_medium

No matter what the packaging might suggest, this isn't good for me and I use it way too much

Cliff Lee

Mariners_030_medium

It's all gone now, but I sure had fun spending all that money

Mark Lowe

Mariners_031_medium

You were really cool in 2006

Garrett Olson

Mariners_032_medium

I liked these gloves when I bought them but now whenever I put them on people think I'm about to do something rapey

David Pauley

Mariners_033_medium

I don't know what this is for but I guess it's not in the way

Ryan Rowland-Smith

Mariners_034_medium

I love our pizza stone but every time I try to use it it burns me

Ian Snell

Mariners_035_medium

I spent a lot of money to go to that Stanley Cup and it was pure torture from the beginning

Brian Sweeney

Mariners_036_medium

I never thought I'd find this thing useful but now I practically look for reasons to use it

Kanekoa Texeira

Mariners_037_medium

People always tell me I should save my receipts but, ehh, get rid of em

Jason Vargas

Mariners_038_medium

This was literally thrown in for five extra dollars with our second controller. We didn't really care at the time but now this is amazing

Sean White

Mariners_039_medium

This is leftover Vicodin and we pretty much only keep it around in case we wanna get fucked up

Why are those big dumpsters in your apartment?
Smart-assiness aside, very well done, Jeff.

Thanks for leading the site in fun!

Best day of the year!
This is brilliant.
A couple of weeks late, but this is absolutely the best.
Awesome

Well done sir. You once again make this shit season not suck so much.

This is what makes Lookout Landing so awesome.
In before racist jokes about Milton Bradley equaling watermelon.....

A+ post, by the way.

Yeah that was actually a coincidence
This is the highlight of the season so far for me.

This is awesome because it’s extremely silly and highly entertaining, yet astonishingly insightful. This post sums up the season much more effectively than anything else I’ve read.

Casey Kotchman as a gross watermelon is weirdly spot-on..
How long did it take you to come up with this?

This is brilliant and clever and a bunch of other wonderful adjectives.

I think it would take me a week or two to successfully pull something like this off. I bet it only took you a couple hours.

I don't want to sound insensitive

but do you have a mild case of Parkinson’s?

I have a very shitty camera
I could've used a picture of my camera for Sean White too
Couldn't give me any good info would have been the clever response.
Hangover.
Lookout Landing: Where mods admit to abusing prescription drugs!
If I were Wak, I would probably abuse Vicodin as well.
This is amazing

Now every time I play on my PS3, I can channel the power of Felix and pull my shirt forward whenever I do something that pleases me.

Great post, sums up everybody very nicely.
I'm still trying to figure out Aardsma.
Got it.

I was getting caught up in the details. I are tupid.

What is Shawn Kelley?

I’ve always wondered what that thing is.

Hawthorn strainer
Well done!

(Hire me as your photographer next time, eh?)

That's pretty sweet about God of War.
My Ps3 just broke last week.

AKA, Watch the pitch counts Wak!

Jeff, your writing was the reason I became a fan of the Mariners
I'd argue the corner is the most important part of your apartment you showed
Without reading the other comments... Jeff you are a fucking GENIUS.
So awesome...

AJM would do this, but all he has in his house are the broken dreams of families past…

Sounds like the Mariners
You know you have an amazing post when it has been retweeted 15 times.

Great, great read. I really love the Smoak one, too.

Now I'm craving Nutella, you jerk.
That fan is fucking incredible.
I have been waiting all day for this

Thanks Jeff!

The problem with Shawn Kelley is

I look at it and think, but what does that do?

But after a lot of squinting I think I have figured it out.
I still have no idea what it is.
Color me confused
Bar strainer.

catch ice, fruit, pits, etc as you pour your cocktail into its glass.

You put spoons on it while cooking to keep sauces and other mess-makers off of the stove or counter tops.
That's Brian Sweeney.
Oh.

Well I assumed Kirsten would know what that was so if anything I am relieved.

I really want those salt and pepper shakers

Only 9 dollars on Amazon!

Well this is the most brilliant thing I've read in a long time.
If Willie Bloomquist was still arouind he could be a spork

does multiple things, but none of them well.

That's a sporf.
Willie would be the all-american plastic one

He's a Swiss Army Knife

Nice little thing to carry around, great to stick in your pocket for a trip out, but everything it does is done better by various other items in the house.

A pink Swiss Army knife with a picture of a pony on the side.
I bought a bunch of those

Great for backpacking. Super light weight.

So was Teej coming to visit or something?
He must not have made it.
I'm on my way.
They gave you a Blackberry with a trackball? Lame.
I have two Crackberries and the trackpad siezed up quicker..more quickly..more quickernessly.
It looked like a tour and holy god those were the worst trackballs that RIM has ever put out.
Looks like a Curve to me

The Tour’s numberpad isn’t a different color from the rest of the keyboard.

The Tour is a thing in my apartment right now. I got it because I thought I needed it to be more productive but I’ve since found that it doesn’t do a whole lot, and what it does do is done better by a number of cheaper options. The Tour is 2009 Vernon Wells.

Thank you, Jeff, for being the highlight of this season.

How long before you realize the watermelon is worthless (and will make you sick) and it has to go?

Try to trade it to a homeless man for a can of tuna.
Kotchman smaells like tuna?

What’re you trying to say?

Bravo, good sir!

Thanks for the laughs

This is pretty much the best baseball commentary ever!

Thank you!

This is one of my two favorite posts you have ever written.
I almost like the team doing poorly ( not really), but the sarcasm is priceless.
I Noticed your Luke French has a cob web in it

Your apartment is trashy

That PS3 looks like it's used a lot and about to catch fire.
Not sure why you want to play with a 24 year old Latino man every day

Each to their own I guess.

You have clearly not spent enough time here.

The Felix homoeroticism will become apparently eventually.

If only it was a brand new poster..

Hi, Welcome to Lookout Landing!

Around here we use proper grammar and say sexual things about the players we like! Here, look at this picture of Gutierrez and don’t worry, no one is watching!

Whoa whoa whoa! Hold on.

I’d like to stress that looking and playing are very different. VERY different.

This is wonderful

Thank you Jeff

I was waiting for this post all day and was not disappointed
The day after the Allstar Game is my second favorite day of the season behind Opening Day because of these.
Fantastic, Jeff.
I'm also amused

That you moved into my old neighborhood maybe a week before I moved NE.

Rob Johnson is definitely not a trash can

unless yours has a hole in the bottom

No, the pic is right.

Since the lid is closed it can’t catch anything.

And somehow the PS3 loves the garbage can
See, now if the M's were smart, they'd do a whole White-as-Vicodin viral marketing campaign.
Don Wakamatsu: awesome until he got his switch set to evil this spring.

If you have any more SA Triple Bock you can send it to me.

I actually really like the stuff, and we can’t buy it in Seattle.

The Ichiro one was pot on.
*spot on
Godammit why would you do that

Why would you correct that?

It was perfect!

This was a mistake.
I was about to rec the original, and then I saw the correction.

Alas.

Flag the correction.

Maybe they can makit go away.

And maybe I will learn to type one day. *Sigh*
I saw the picture of the trash can.

And at first I thought the joke was that you couldn’t open the lid because the counter was too close so it wouldn’t catch anything you put into it. I laughed for two minutes before I read the caption, then I kept laughing. Everything about this post is perfect.

Just incredible, Jeff!
You wonderful bastard.
I can't wait until next year's "The Mariners as Professional Baseball Players."
Ichiro Suzuki: Ichiro Suzuki

Much like Ichiro, Ichiro consistently maintains an above average BABIP rate as Ichiro does mainly through Ichiro beating out infield ground balls. Both also hit for very little power and Ichiro has been known to mimic Ichiro’s propensity for stolen bases

God you have a lot of random shit.

You know what this means? Yard sale!

This is absolutely amazing, Jeff

This is my favorite thing since the Mariners went camping and that asshole Ken Macha put out their fire.

If I had a 2nd SBN account,

I’d create a 3rd so I could rec this thrice.

Sean White as a bottle of leftover Vicodin is hilarious.
What color was your Jason Vargas controller?

I got the red one with the GoWs. They are about as consistently enjoyable as a JV start. :) Wonderful post, Jeff! We need to start a “get Jeff a new camera” fund!

This is amazing

Seriously. Wow.

I spent a lot of money to go to that Stanley Cup and it was pure torture from the beginning

Sniff…

Awesome post.

Thanks to whoever provoked my Russell Branyan comment to get hidden.

I thought it was quite clever.

I love you

from a Giants fan.

Jeff, you're awesome.
