Around SBN: Smoltz leaning toward signing with Red Sox Bar-right-arrows

We interrupt this FanPost for a pledge drive

Smell-the-glove_tiny by pdb on

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.

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

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...

$400K as of today

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   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 to parent up   0 recs

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

you’ve probably donated about 150 bucks now.

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

The gift that keeps on giving!

This thread is not as cool

as the Hot Russian chicks thread below.

Just sayin’....

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?

Bitterness keeps you warm at night

so you’re welcome.

Is it wrong of me that,

after reading the first clause of the first sentence in this post, I immediately spent the next ten minutes searching in vain for the “Hot Russian Chicks” thread?

by sammy on Apr 16, 2008 5:39 PM PDT   0 recs

Not so much wrong as sad.

Will you let us know a general $$ amoutn you receive?

I’m somewhat interested

I fucking hate you Mariners

Woohoo

I donated toward something! I bought Jeff a bottle of beer (or half a bottle if you get Belgians).

May I suggest the Traquair House Jacobite Ale?

Thank you, Jeff.

My wife gave me the okay.

Even she, who never looks at LL, supports what you do, Jeff. Thanks.

I wouldve donated. Its the thought that counts right? Right? O I hate myself

eating meals is overrated

when was the last time a meal, any meal (I’m looking at you, lunch) made you laugh as hard as a game thread?

High $5!!

I’m poor, but after all the years this site has kept me entertained, I had to give a little back

Hey Jeff,

got a guesstimate on how much we’ve contributed to the Jeff Sullivan beer fund yet?

but then you'd own the Marlins

that's actually what I meant

the tone of my comment sounded right in my head.

I also could've signed Frank Thomas

I’m just not sure what I would’ve had him do. Laundry I guess.

Don't use him for the whites.

That veteran grit is hard to get out.
