I'm sorry

by basebliman on Aug 13, 2007 10:57 PM PDT Comment 32 comments

My emotion in the game thread today got the best of me and I basically said McLaren would be better off dead.

While he shouldn't be the skipper of a Major (or Minor) League team because he has no clue what he is doing, should not lose his life because of it, nor would I be one to cause it.

So I would like to officially say to to John McLaren, "I'm sorry I said you shouldn't be alive... but you still are a dumb motherfucker." That is all.

game thread emotion is a crippling disease

Not to worry.

Everyone gets a pass for game thread emotion. Nobody can be held responsible for anything they say between the first pitch and ten minutes after the last one.

can I start a motion to get GTE

extended to begin at the time lineups are posted instead of first pitch?

by Matthew on Aug 13, 2007 11:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Motion passed.

Apologies for the oversight.

That should be a disclaimer somewhere.

These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

This moment brought to you in part by

Dear John: You're a really nice guy, but I don't even want to be friends... New MGR please? KTHXBYE...

While I dont wish injury or death one somone

We have a right to be annoyed. We care.

We cant just sit and enjoy the ride right now. The surprise is over. We have a good team. Playoff contention is no longer sufficient. So shoot me if I dont like finishing 2nd. I NEVER settle. Ill go girlless for 6 months if I cant have a hot chick. Never settle for less. Otherwise, you fall flat on your face.

It must be the athlete in me. Because I got ripped a new one for bitching about the lineups.

Girlless for six months?

That sounds like baseball season for some of us.

>:(

Ha

I shoulda said 'great chick' though. Im not some asshole trying to get laid. I aim for the total package.

Nonetheless...im banking on some great chicks in Seattle when I move.

Looking back, I don't know what my comment meant.

I'm pretty sure I was trying to convey that some of us don't have time to date during baseball season, but honestly I don't really know.

I missed the ten-minute cutoff.

Rats.

Big deal...

You make the rules. You can extend it for an hour for one night or something.

you can try and cover all you want

but you're just digging the hole deeper

by Matthew on Aug 13, 2007 11:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Leave me alone.

by Jeff on Aug 14, 2007 12:06 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

No worries

I wasnt sure of the tone, so I improvised.

by Slica on Aug 13, 2007 11:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

uhhhh.....

great chicks in Seattle? yeah...

where are you moving from?

by Matthew on Aug 13, 2007 11:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Maryland

my area has walking visceras.

But im picky.

by Slica on Aug 14, 2007 12:03 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

ok, MD isn't too bad

you should be well inundated with lowered expectations.

by Matthew on Aug 14, 2007 12:04 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Surely

theres some good chicks in clubs or something.

by Slica on Aug 14, 2007 12:08 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah, there are

but stay away from the ones in Capitol Hill. They aren't chicks.

Seriously though, I'm not saying Seattle is bad. For a northern city, it's probably one of the better. It's just, still a northern city. Maybe it's just the fact I used to live in TX that has me completely jaded up here. Though I will say, Seattle doesn't look like a city that typically ranks near the top 5 in fittest cities in the country.
