We interrupt this FanPost for a pledge drive

by pdb on Apr 16, 2008 2:35 PM PDT Comment 91 comments

If you've waded through the Hot Russian Chicks thread below, you've no doubt noticed that the original idea was an annual purchase of Jeff's MLB.tv subscription. Well, Jeff has put up a link for you to donate to the cause here. $120 a year gets Jeff the mlb.tv premium package - since he's already got it this year, this year's money will no doubt go to beer, which is an acceptable alternative.

And, because I know this makes him as uncomfortable as if he were meeting up with a fat, balding 45 year old man in a London hotel room, I will say this - asking for donations was not Jeff's idea, and he only did the PayPal link because it was easier than the roundabout way I was going to get all the money together.

If you like LL, throw Jeff $5 (or more). And please, favorite this FanPost so it stays up top, so we can hit the $120 mark before it disappears. There's also a wee "Donate" link there on the left sidebar, for easy donatin' fun.

That would sure make the site a hell of a lot different

by Jeff on Apr 16, 2008 2:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It would be a fantastic adventure of a season

by thenatural on Apr 16, 2008 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don't see how.

If he knew he were meeting this man why would he be uncomfortable?

Let it be said that Corco's donation tendencies are hilarious

Let it be said that Corco has too much free time on his hands

If I pledged £5, that would probably cover it for a few years right?

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

That's $356,793 American right?

what's $10s worth of posts?

by Matthew on Apr 16, 2008 3:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not all posts are born equal.

not as much as a 100lb halberd, from what I hear.

I'm trying to donate

but every time I hit the “review and continue” button it says “please enter an amount greater than zero”

anyone else have this problem?

by seattlebruin on Apr 16, 2008 3:34 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

You need to enter an amount greater than 0.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on Apr 16, 2008 3:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Did you try entering an amount greater than zero?

Make sure to press the “Update Amount” button

by camomilk on Apr 16, 2008 3:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

how many times have you hit "review and continue"??

you’ve probably donated about 150 bucks now.

by sirbrianwilson on Apr 16, 2008 3:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

the amount is in the top right hand corner

by InSpokane on Apr 16, 2008 3:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Done

But it’s not your only gift, Jeff. You’ll be receiving an anthology of hot craigslist women from Brayden, seattlesundevil and I sometime later this week

by seattlebruin on Apr 16, 2008 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

The gift that keeps on giving!

No, these suggestions punish my pants

by Jeff on Apr 16, 2008 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

and your eyes

by thenatural on Apr 16, 2008 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

And possibly your immune system.

I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.

by Thingray on Apr 17, 2008 11:40 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

This one

won’t punish his immune system at all

Done

I gave 15

This thread is not as cool

as the Hot Russian chicks thread below.

Just sayin’....

by brayden04 on Apr 16, 2008 3:41 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Are you trying to create a meme?

Because if there is one thing this world needs, it’s more memes.

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

That thread is hysterical

whoever suggested match.com, you are a not so subtle genius

I've been reading this blog every day for a couple of years now

but this is my first post. Just finished donating to say “thanks” to Jeff for all the hard work and hilarious game recaps.

Between this site and USSM I’ve learned a ton and have been transformed from casual, blindly optimistic fan to angry, bitter, and filled with GTE rage fan.

Thanks…I think?
