Tell me about it. I woke up missing my pants last night.

Oops. Response to "Blackouts are stupid."
Funnier here, though.

Am I evil for fantasizing about the stadium suddenly collapsing in as these two teams are playing?

I love that the Angels reward for lucking their way to 100 games
was drawing the best team in baseball.

I'm coming over with pizza

Pizza sounds awesome right now. Seriously, come over with a pie. You know where I live.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
If only you were being serious - I could use some Kermit time right now.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
Uh, the neighborhood. But sadly my leg won't run the gas pedal right now.
Brace. And those other girls weren’t from the service either. I can’t believe you didn’t even know them. Well, I can believe it. That was some funny shit.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
That, unfortunately, is my trademark upon this world.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
Did I mention that when they left,
I asked them, “you’re leaving?? But we haven’t had any fun!” Two of the girls scoffed – the other said, “Call the agency later (gave phone number), I’ll see what I can do.”
Being married is funny.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
And NO. i didn't call said number. I had beers to drink and a game to watch with good friends.

I figured those chicks were with the group. Just the timing with them arriving and you jumping up, and you popped the comment off so quick. Hey, pop me an email if you want to get together this weekend for a game. Pizza on me, we can split the beer.

Don't get me started on the Twins.
I’m already pissed about Ted Turner’s stupid ass. Like he needs the cash. I’m done. Zipped.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
He is not alone in that assessment
Thought I do have a soft spot for individual players/managers here and there: IE Jamie Moyer, Sweet Lou, Griffey Jr.
I've started rooting for Jason Bay.
Just because all the shit that was talked about him after the trade and about how “he’d good but he can’t replace Manny.” Factor in defense and he’s been as good or better since the day of the trade.
How can you not root for a guy when people are expecting him to fail?
He’s a new addition to the BoSox, so I can’t blame him for the bandwagon fans invading Safeco.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
I don't blame any of the players, really. I don't mind the Red Sox as a team or an organization.
The fans are a different story, obviously, but mostly the Sox don’t bother me. I’m jealous, and as long as I admit that. I’m OK with it.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. What gets on my nerves are the BoSox fan invasions of Safeco.
Every where you walk you here people talking in overly loud voices how they’ve been lifelong fans. Bullshit. Wait til the M’s get back on top, they’ll be back in teal or whatever the hell the color is, blabbering about how they’ve been long suffering M’s fans. I hate them, with my tiny, hardened, coal black heart.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
I understand.
I guess the only Red Sox fans I know here in San Diego are pretty much lifers. Same with the Yankee fans. I have two or three big-time Yankees fans, and they were born and raised in New York. I guess I haven’t had to put up with much bandwagon-jumpers.
"It's a dangerous, dangerous world out her, buddy."

Angels = teh suck
at scoring more than one run at a time. Where’s non-monkey Willits when you need him?

Idiot, guy throws about 3 strikes to 3 batters, this dummy strikes out.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Got to make the pitcher work. Grind out that at bat. Define the strike zone.
Feel better? I know about 2 stats, and both are so old most of these guys laugh at them.

Nope sorry.
I have been posting off and on at the much reviled ESPN boards and their hate-filled spin-offs at College Fanatics and Phredmojo’s double-secret fan board, though.
Is there another Omerta running amok?
Indeed there must be another Omerta. But Phred, hate him or not, is a member of my site.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
Don't hate him.
He’s stubborn at times but it’s part of his schtick. I’ll have to check out your site sometime I’m always on the prowl for a good place to talk baseball.
Yeah, please, but I thought you were an old sportspot guy...
There was a guy who posted there with your name…
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.
You mean to tell me I'm not the first fan on the internets to come up with this username?!
Although it is a little coincidental that I’m a M’s fan who is posting on a site where it appears a lot of former/current sportspot people are hanging.
What's up with the bullpens tonight? Guys are all over the place.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.

It used to bother me that Chone Figgins had a ring and Edgar Martinez did not.
Actually who am I kidding it still bothers me.
I hadn't thought of that before. Now I really don't like him.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
When did Garrett get old?
I remember when people used to talk about him like Jeff’s post on Pujols today.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Quite a few years back. Mid to late 90's he was something else.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Quick and dirty:
OPS+ for Anderson from 1995-2000:
121
82
92
99
104
103
He was probably a league-average hitter over that span (and his career). Pujols’ worst year in the majors is better than Anderson’s very best. I don’t mean to say that Anderson has had a bad career, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would ever think he was in the same galaxy as Albert Pujols.
I was looking at his number also, guess his heyday was 96-03.
Nah, just said people used to say the same things about him. Don’t beat my head flat with the book man!! A lot of the comments about playing in a small media market, no pressure like you get in NY. Never seemed to develop as much as people would like.
Just conversation dude, please don’t jam the stats at me, I’m rarely trying to start an argument that needs a winner.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Oh, no ill will intended.
I just don’t remember anyone thinking GA was anything that special. And OPS+ is about the extent of my ability to pull stats, so I’m the last person you need to worry about throwing the book at you!
Cool, cool, please pardon me, I get a bit touchy if I think a conversation is heading for a "right/wrong" thing.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
shiiiiiiiiet.
Things were going so well today…Rays win, showered with love and affection at work…this was supposed to be the capper!
I don't like either of these teams, yet it is baseball. Screw you M's and Twins for putting me in this position.

Dear Chip Carey and Buck Martinez
I would pay money for a channel that had no broadcasters at all.
“Did it hit him?”

Shut your goddamned mouth - when you say that, Ortiz hits big.

I'd say yes.
There are enough good hitters in that lineup that they can probably afford to live without Ortiz if need be.

And imagine if their record matched their RS/RA
I’m elated that the Rays won the division and all, but this is the best team in baseball. With the possible exception of the Cubs.
I'm not going to pretend like I know how to account for league differences, but I'm pretty much just going on run differential.
I figured it’s close if you account for league.
Talent level
The Cubs are full of players who massively overachieved, the Red Sox are full of guys who missed time because of injury etc.

I was beginning to forget about my hate for the Sox.
Until that. That was a buzzkill.
Honestly
I don’t see myself rooting for the Red Sox any time soon but I respect the hell out of how that team is built.
Nobody is gonna argue that.
You have to respect the roster construction, the philosophies that go into it, and the players are fun to watch. It’s what represents all that’s great about baseball.
But who they’re doing it for just ruins it.
This is why I don't mind rooting for their team
Yes, Red Sox nation is very annoying. But, from my end, there’s a bit of jealousy in watching a well-built team with young talent coming out of its ears dominating a sport more effectively than others.
Don't care, it's Anaheim, home of the prototypical bandwagon fan.
I know, I went to game there as a kid. I grew up watching and cheering for that team, and no one gave a damn about that team until they won a title. Now everyone and there mother is a Halo fan.
I understand that fanship has got to start somewhere, but in addition, a little piece of me is bitter that they sucked so much ass while I was there, and jealous that they have a great owner and a manager that knows what he’s doing.
No one said hatred had to be rational. All that being said, as soon as the Angels are gone, all my venom swings to aforementioned Red Sox.
I AM LOVING THIS SO MUCH I WANT TO DIP MY BALLS IN IT.

Dude, your avatar is from my favorite sketch comedy show of them all.
LONG LIVE MR. SHOW.

Oh yes. Mr. Show is probably my favorite non-Wire show of all time.
I recently finished reading Naomi Odenkirk’s book on the show. Great read if you can find it.
Haven't gotten it yet. But my girlfriend and I have pretty much memorized every single episode.
We will actually serenade one another with “Ronnie’s Theme (How High The Mountain)” during the working day.

That show had the best music.
David Cross’ voice is legitimately good, and Bob’s voice is so bad that it’s hilarious. (i.e. the Milking Machine)
I want Varitek to light him up.
FUCKING JASON VARITEK, THAT’S RIGHT.

I want the Rays to win
but they’re not my team so I’m not going to be too upset if they lose.

I was hoping for a bit more from the Phillies/Brewers.
And Cubs/Dodgers extending wouldn’t have been so bad, but a sweep on the AL side is exactly what the doctor ordered.
except for the rays
they can sweep 14-0.

What would the update say?
“On October 4th, 2008, God finally requested that Rodriguez cease thanking him in such ostentatious fashion by denying him the opportunity to do so on the grandest stage of all.”

Nothing funny because I want to be the one that says what sticks
On October 3, 2008, Rodriguez received the loss in Game 2 of the 2008 ALDS when he allowed a tie breaking 2 run homerun to Boston’s JD Drew in a 7-5 Boston win over the Angels.
That's kind of trifling stuff, you think?
Or are you just updating for the sheer pleasure of it?

Youk’s beard-thing is epically… just… i dunno. straight. and thick. and awesome.

How'd you get mixed up in this dirty Red Sox business then?

Oh I'll hate.
Living in LA for five years (Including 2002) has filled me with a lifetime of rage.
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
i'm a boston sports fan.
Have been since ’91, because I hated all the San Diego teams. (extended family out here.) father went to ’SC, uncle to UW, and i live in Boston (and went to school out here. fuck Boston College, by the way).

People with actual connections

Reminds me of the way DC (my hometown) is full of either Redskins or Cowboys fans
Skins for the obvious reason, Cowboys merely because some people just get so fucking sick of the town’s Redskins obsession that they choose to root for their blood rival.

Nice MVP pick asshole.
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
He needs it to validate his opinions on how baseball ought to be played.

Is it just me or has MLB.com now made it impossible to open games in WMP?
It just automatically opens video in Silverlight now and that doesn’t show as being installed on my computer.
I've been using Silverlight for a while now and it hasn't worked too poorly
It’s really not that bad and I couldn’t figure out how to go back
Mine wants to open in Silverlight
but reverts back to WMP by the time the stream opens.
