I'm sure we had our reasons

completely rational reasons, as we are wont to have.

Good gravy it's like he aged 30 years

and just how low was his hairline before the recession anyway?

Poor Squinty.

Squinty: Gosh I just don't know what's wrong with this team. Our lineup is filled with veteran hitters who've been through the wars and our pitching rotation is rock solid. I guess the only weak link is the bullpen and those damn kids who just won't learn their roles. I can assure you we're working to address that. Billy's looking over the waiver wire to bring in some veteran talent as we speak.

there's something wrong with Ichiro. After he got that fat raise, he got fat and doesn;t want to run. [/bakerposter]

I agree

He has to deal with casual fans while trying to put a positive spin to everything bad about the M's. That's got to be a stressful job.

Mr. X can go fuck himself

then hurl himself into a vat of acid.

Resin isn't Cheating can do the same.

You mean Logan?!

He's the best ever. He's a(n) (unintentioally) hilarious dude.

X is signficantly worse.

Though Resin does piss me off. Thank god for Adam.

? Adam has a book?

I don't know who he is, other than he echoes the correct points most of the time.

no Logan

see my reply below

He put out a Cafepress book last season under "Pedro Calderon", I would have bought it but I didn't want to give that asshole my money, name, or address. I somewhat regret it now though, it would have been funnier than sliced bread..

I think Brett and someone else did.

That was me

The guy who used to run Mariners Revolution

He since changed his name to Pedro Calderon and claimed he is Cuban (in order in enhance his baseball street cred) and now runs "Baseball Mistress".

He posts as Resin Isn't Cheating, hates the entire blogosphere, has the maturity of a 3 year old, and is dumber than Mike Morse is graceful.

His site(s) are the most hilarious on the web.

His last post on Baker's blog:

"I really wish a reporter could get a straight answer why Ichiro needs a sacrifice or hit and run to get to second base. Is it Ichiro afraid of injury or does Mac doesn't want to steal with Ichiro?"

by redwolf75 on Apr 14, 2008 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

To be fair

Mac did say he was going to have his team run more and Ichiro is probably the only person starter capable of running on the team.

by Fin on Apr 14, 2008 10:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's nothing

compared to his articles about how the M's were moving to another city (from last year), or that Bavasi was plotting to mentally abusw Jose Lopez because he didn't hand him the starting job in 2005.

This is great.

But please never write my biography.

I think either is Mr. X

(which, bravo, brilliant-- but used your talents for good), or he is so stupid he doesn't realize that Mr. X is a) a fake, and b) mocking him.

either *he* is

anyone else bored of my typos?

I'm okay with them.

But I'm inclined to believe Mr. X is a real person.

The little war him and Jason Churchill had a few years back was most entertaining.

Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Yeah, that caused him to tear down the Revolution

and go into the blogger witness protection program.

I can't believe people still fall for it.

You know, that might actually be my fault.

I prodded people who were bashing on LL and USSM to actually post over there with some serious questions.

I think AKMarinersFan was one of them. He posted here, but failed to bring the serious questions.

by BrianL on Apr 14, 2008 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

AK1984 was an old timer.

Came before I did.

Well thank God.

At least I'm not responsible for that abortion.

Recurring Baker Commenter

IQ of our estimated wins this season.

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on Apr 14, 2008 10:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

IQ of 25?

That's legally retarded, yes?

by BrianL on Apr 14, 2008 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Legally retarded is 70. Considered "mildly retarded"

50 is moderate, I think 25 is extreme.

He qualifies for moderate, since he has the physical ability to type but otherwise is just vomiting all over the keyboard.

...and now I'm here

Dude he's a smart guy.

He might waste all his intelligence, but he has that character down to a tee.

You are a god damn genius. You must have an IQ of 160!

Realize

we're posting on a blog about people who post on Baker's blog.

What are people's opinions of Lou?

Considering most here have hated on our last three managers.

by redwolf75 on Apr 14, 2008 10:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Speaking of Lou

See the new Pepsi commercial? Would've looked better if it was at the Safe with Lou in an M's jersey. Ah the glory days.

So given that you're somehow still awake

how would you best characterize your current emotional state?

(A) rapey
(B) not not rapey
(C) !=rapey

Jeff, there are people who can help you.

You just have to tell the police officers the truth.

Thats a pretty good commercial

I was too young and naive to evaluate his managerial skills when he was here, but he is pretty damn entertaining, you gotta give him that

Good for Minnesota

Great hustle by Rolston on the game winning goal

by ningwers on Apr 14, 2008 10:04 PM PDT reply actions  

3-2?

That's like three too many goals for a Minnesota game.

I have a softspot for Minnesota

I think it comes from them losing the Northstars

YES!

KidPix was awesome!
