Gil Meche is now Erik Bedard!

I was literally typing something very similar to that

Good thing I already have a beer opened...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

BASEBALL! Finally. I'm totally wearing my jersey to work tomorrow, rules be damned

Cheers

to you
to the Mariners
to the new season
and to all baseball fans who no longer have to wait until baseball season and sit through that torturous span of time between October (when the Ms are always unceremoniously kept out of the World Series) until the end of March!

Slight note: certain exceptions are made for the Sundays the Seahawks play and for the occasional hockey night in Canada broadcast.

Huh.

I can't believe how excited I am. Especially after spending my first offseason with you guys and becoming terribly depressed.

How many beers in are you?

30? 40? No matter how much you try not to look like Gil "The Fish" Meche, it doesn't work Jeff. I'm sorry.

Curse you, Detroit Lions!

by Coach Owens on Mar 30, 2008 10:32 PM PDT   0 recs

30-40?

I'm not made of (A) money or (B) livers.

Ah to be made of livers

BTW, if you define "bears" in terms of the gay subculture... that above part becomes even funnier.

Sometimes I'm surprised you go to Roosevelt.

You know, when I was there we were featured on NPR as one of the most alcoholic schools in the country.

I honestly don't think Jeff looks like Meche anymore

I seriously think it's more Bedard now. I'm assuming Jeff will look like Silva in 2009.

by MFAN on Mar 30, 2008 10:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Still can't find myself

getting excited about the start of the season... I'll still watch the games, but its defintely not the same excitement as in years part... more of a yay baseball, ho hum Mariners feel to it.

This is totally worth some sort of ambiguous chant.

King Felix rookie #59 Jersey will be worn to class tomorrow.

Sad to say I will miss the game thread :(

I'll be Griffeying at the game.

Also thanks to the eBay.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Mar 30, 2008 10:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

My KF59 and RS44(sigh)

are both thanks to eBay.

and are both Alt. Jerseys

by PShwa on Mar 30, 2008 10:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Alt?

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Mar 30, 2008 10:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Alternate.

a.k.a.

ironically a picture of him wearing number 59

To follow up with my "Ah"

I like the alt jerseys more.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Mar 30, 2008 11:05 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

As do I.

Which is why I own two.

No Meche jersey?

Why would I pay for that?

That's the kind of thing a friend would get me as a gag birthday gift. A bad friend.

by Jeff on Mar 30, 2008 10:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Because you, at one time, looked like Meche?

And he was a fan favorite when he was here?

Curse you, Detroit Lions!

by Coach Owens on Mar 30, 2008 10:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He was?

Could've fooled me.

women only want money

and casual fans suck.

by MFAN on Mar 30, 2008 11:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Without them

There would be like 2,000 of us at the stadium.

They're alright.

by Garces on Mar 30, 2008 11:11 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Women or casual fans?

Because I gotta tell you, I've been to the games. It's a sausage fest there.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Mar 30, 2008 11:16 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Casual fans

Without women, well...there'd be 0 of us.

Meh...

If you've already got a woman, it becomes:

Go for the effing peace, uh, I mean, beer and hot dogs, stay for the baseball.

by GhettoBear04 on Mar 31, 2008 5:44 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm going to get you a Jersey.

It will say "HERNANDEZ, but when you wear it the glue will come off the HERN and the NDEZ and you've simply be left wearing player A.

...and now I'm here

Home Bedard #45 for me.

Hey, how else was I gonna spend my tax return?

I'm 19. I don't have to move out yet.

Thank god. The real world is scary.

This may sound counterintuitive . . .

but now that I'm out of college and have a real job, I have WAY more money to blow on worthless shit. I also suggest that you trick a girl into moving in with you. It's working wonders for me.

by Teej on Mar 31, 2008 2:17 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is correct.

Getting a woman to move in with you makes things so much easier. It's the upsides of:
1) Maid - find a picky woman, and once you get past the "nagging" phase, she'll just clean up all your shit.
2) Roommate - She pays half the bills, plus might pay for the garage to put her car in, but will also hold a bunch of your shit..
3) Chef - If you get off work after her, she'll make all your meals.
4) Hooker (May cost extra) - If you spend enough money to keep her happy, she'll also reward you in other ways. (That 600$ necklace? Repaid by her *and* a friend. Best 600$ I ever spent.)

Oh... my...

You live a wonderful lifestyle, currently.

When my wife and I were both in the army and stationed in Korea

we were for a while there both drawing our regular pay, our language score pay for being interpreters, and full allowance for quarters. It was, for our needs and station in life, an absurd amount of money - which we of course were incredibly stupid about, buying a metric ton of crap at every whim.

"Hey honey I just bought $500 bucks of Warhammer figures online" "Oh okay, that's nice."

Meanwhile, my buddy was minutely more modest in his spending, and when we left the army, I had nada and he had bout $30,000 in the bank.

So, at this gentle time in your lives when the high costs of parenthood and student loan payments are not yet smashing your stones, I recommend putting some little portion of income away for your future self. If you're putting some away and finding that you still have way more money for shit, put away a little more. Consider this a message from the Ghost of Christmas Future or something. *scary voice*

I'm Taking Tomorrow Off of Work

Half because the Mariners play opening day early (grrrr), and half because I'm going to have a massive hangover tomorrow startiiiiiiing NOW.

this is worse than when I found out that the Mariners sell pink hats

by Jeff on Mar 30, 2008 11:11 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Hey

I got one for my ex. That was okay, she looked great.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Mar 30, 2008 11:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's not okay. If she's going to agree to be a fan of the team

She can learn to wear blue god damn it. Pink hats are NOT acceptable under any circumstances until the team themselves start wearing pink hats. Don't be a pussy, grow a backbone and tell her if she's going to be a fan of your team she's gotta wear your team's colors. No exceptions.

My niece who is almost 2 has a little pink M's hat...

She has a couple different ones, but she likes the pink one. I think this might be one situation where pink is almost ok?

by thenatural on Mar 31, 2008 2:17 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

She was significantly hotter than you are.

So I'm going to disregard what you say in favor of seeing her look hot.
