They moved Crawford to fifth in the order?

Good for them, but I thought that was pretty much a nonstarter.

ATTN FOR THE MOST RANDOM QUESTION EVER ASKED ON LL:

Does anyone here happen to own the “Archives #2” boxed set by the band Genesis?

Yes, I know, it’s a ridiculously random question, but I’m suddenly a bit desperate here. Very sorry. And if one of you morons actually happens to have it, I might be the happiest kid on the planet.

Damn, I didn't think anyone would.

I’m a sad panda. I lost disc 2 of the set when I need it the most.

My dad does.

I was hoping someone could post a link to a couple missing tracks I need from the second disc.

I lost my copy, I need those songs posthaste, and I dunno where to find them online. Can’t even buy them as downloads from Amazon. Oh well.

Wow, when was the last time I had a German beer, I wonder.

It was probably a Bitburger in the Spring and I was slightly disappointed after having it recommended to me.

by Double06 on Oct 10, 2008 5:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bitburger is not very good

Veltins is neither that good, but I lack alternatives right now

Hi Schumacher.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.

I want the Rays to win but there fans just dont deserve it…

by Eagle18 on Oct 10, 2008 5:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Sometimes, it's not about the fans.

The Rays players deserve it and the great FO that has tried to accommodate their fan base deserve it.

I see empty seats.

HOW DO YOU HAVE EMPTY SEATS IN YOUR TEAMS FIRST TRY FOR A PENNANT?

And we deserve it.

And the nation deserves a Boston loss.

by Matthew on Oct 10, 2008 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, the whole sport really deserves it.

As does Fox, in the opposite sense.

by Teej on Oct 10, 2008 5:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh damn.

You just referred to Red Sox fans as “the nation.” This is easily to worst thing to ever from the 2004 World Series.

Steve Berthiume always refers to them as “THE nation” and it drives me insane.

Am I being curmudgeoney if I say that I think noisemakers shouldn't be handed out?

If a few people sneak in a cowbell, that’s awesome and adds personality. But if everyone is given a cowbell at the door, it seems gimmicky and quite obnoxious.

Same goes for the Angels fans’ clapping things.

My least favorite part of this game is the part where Pedroia got on base.

Because he needs to take a big step back and literally fuck his own face.

54!

That tends to happen when you walk a guy 13% of the guys you face.

I would just like to point something out:

Kazmir-Shields-Garza-Price-Sonnanstine. For years and years to come.

Hellickson, Davis, Mcgee, Barnese, Lobstein, Niemman....

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

by P Brady on Oct 10, 2008 6:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Arguably the best trade?

Arguably?

Kazmir-Zambrano was the most lopsided deal of recent memory.

by Matthew on Oct 10, 2008 6:24 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Don't forget Aramando Galarraga...

…who was left off the 40, picked up by Detroit, and gave the Tigers the following this season:

13-7 record with a 1.19 WHIP and 90 tRA+.

by GhettoBear04 on Oct 10, 2008 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He was better than...

…a decent number of the guys the Rangers had to call up to replace their already below average hurt starters.

Wait, the M's originally signed Ortiz?

My memories of Dave Hollins were awesome.

Whatever. He couldn’t do anything but hit and he wasn’t exactly real young for the league he was in.

by Double06 on Oct 10, 2008 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

They released him, and trade Garza for Delmon, so...

Awful.

Then why not sell them?

The Kingdome had seats where you couldn’t see center of right field, but they sold out like mad anyway.

The MLB is making them sell them in a WS.

This no-hitter is completely unacceptable.

Especially because Shields has been so awesome.

I swear this isn't hyperbole:

Buck Martinez is the worst baseball commentator alive. I honestly think he’s worse than Joe Morgan or Hawk or Hudler or anyone else you want to throw out there.

Maybe it’s because I seldom hear him, but it’s just a constant, painful fountain of dumbfuck.

by Teej on Oct 10, 2008 7:41 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I'll answer it anyway:

The Buck Martinez mascot is a brain being hit repeatedly with a hammer. And it talks like Bud Selig.

I don't think it's ever acceptable to root for the Red Sox.

I mean, even when Jon Lester was throwing his no-hitter, I was rooting for the cancer.

I'm not rooting for the Red Sox, I'm rooting for the no-no.

It just happens to be thrown by a Red Sox pitcher.

The Rays could help this by actually getting a hit.

American Idol runner up.

I wish he was discovered when he was 25, less dorky, and actually had the maturity to back up his voice.

I was expecting the former Arizona State linebacker

Guess how many hits the Matsuzaka has given up

He has given up zero hits which means he is throwing a no-hitter
