What's this bullshit?

http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SEA/2008.shtml

I of course take this as an insult, though I dont really know how this affects us at all.

oh yeah, and they sponsered their own page too. so no chance for a friendly sponsorship rivalry or anything. assholes.

I wonder if I'll ever discover anything about the Angels I won't completely despise. Probably not.

    That reminds of Mitch Hedberg's joke about playing tennis:

    “The thing about tennis is: no matter how much I play, I’ll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once. They’re fucking relentless.”

    If the Angels were a worse team, I don't think anyone would care.

    But they’re baseball team is better than ours, while their blog is the SF Giants of sports blogs, so it bothers us more.

    ...and now I'm here

    I'm not saying it bothers us because they do it to bother us. I'm saying they bother us by existing.

    Also, I don’t personally care, I just understand it and am presenting the opposing viewpoint.

    ...and now I'm here

    And LL

    is the Red Sox, or DRays of blogs? Or does that go to USSM?

    Seriously, I think talking about HH should be forever banned.

    but it’s definately a dead meme

    WAIT A SECOND

    don’t you guys realize what happens to a great nation blog when they lose their primary enemy. Didn’t the end of the Soviet Empire and the Cold War teach us anything. In order to be happy and prosperous, we NEED an archenemy… a nemisis. Without it we’ll just lash out in pathetic attempts to villify muslims someone. We will never be so productive, happy and cohesive as when we can all agree that HH sucks balls. If we lose that, God help us.

    Shut the fuck up

    you whiny piece of fuck.

    That's okay

    I assumed he was taking the spirit of my message to heart and was trying to unite everyone against the common enemy of me.

    by johnbai on Apr 17, 2008 7:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

    Damn, I thought I'd at least have an ally in you, Graham.

    I may have to rethink this whole plan.

    john, I propose a truce.

    Would you like to propose the next unifying target?

    by marc w on Apr 18, 2008 11:36 AM PDT up reply actions  

    We could unify and attack Brayden

    he’s always writing “haha” in his posts and generally staying positive. That really makes me mad. Plus, he’s taller than me. What a jerk!

    Other options: Positive Paul… he’s older than all of us put together, and is always “sharing” his photographs. Sounds like a pervert if you ask me! Playing keyboards for a church band is just a cover.

    or: Bretticus… His fantasy team beat my team last week… that automatically makes him a jerk. Also, he makes fun of people who suffer from mental retardation… and (get this) HE ACTUALLY LIVES IN HIS PARENTS BASEMENT! What a douche! Also, he reads Spiderman comics. Everyone knows that Spiderman is lame compared to Hellboy.

    What do you think? Who’s ripe for attack?

    by johnbai on Apr 18, 2008 12:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

    I would have to defend Brett in such a fight.

    He is now part of my RF family. We stick together out there.

    I had a dream about you the other night Graham

    For some reason I was in England. I emailed you and said, “Hey dude, what are you up to? I’m in town… let’s get together for a gin and tonic and hang out!”

    You said, “No.”

    by johnbai on Apr 18, 2008 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

    I heard about it

    I just didn’t want to bring it up here and have it sound creepy:

    “I hear you were dreaming about me, johnbai.”

    That just doesn’t sound right. Also, I apparently need to do some catching up if I want to be as much of an asshole in real life as your subconsciousness thinks I am :P

    In my dream

    it actually kind of made you a bad ass. I was feeling all happy and enthusiastic like a puppy dog, and you just put the hammer down. It was funny.

    by johnbai on Apr 18, 2008 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

    You just don't understand

    true friendship JI.

    It’s like Graham is Judah Ben Hur from that old Charlton Heston film… and I’m like his old military friend that shows up and joins him in the Roman baths for some good old fashioned manly comraderie. There’s nothing gay about that!

    by johnbai on Apr 18, 2008 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

    That makes sense...

    Rev and them calling people here that know more than what Avg, HR, RBI, and ERA are ‘stat nerds’ that ‘live in their parents basement’ etc, and call every person who disagrees on their site a troll with too much time on their hands. Yet he sponsors a website about the Mariners.

    by seamariners85 on Apr 17, 2008 1:14 PM PDT reply actions  

    I must admit, it is pretty funny though.

    I just wish we had thought of it first, we could have sponsored the entire AL West.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded.

    by Thingray on Apr 17, 2008 1:27 PM PDT reply actions  

    Come on guys, you gotta admit that's pretty funny.

    Point for the Rev.

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

    So Rev helps keep Baseball-Reference.com

    going with his donations. Good on him.

    The funny thing

    is that he dropped 100 bucks to sponsor that page. I think that’s the last thing I’d buy if I had an extra 100 bucks sitting around.

    by redwolf75 on Apr 17, 2008 9:43 PM PDT reply actions  

    If he dropped $100 on that, then the jokes on him.

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

    $100 is like £5 ... man, you could almost get a beer in London for that.

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

    let's just drop 25 bucks and sponser Garland's page

    and write:

    How about:

    I would be for a sponsored page thread if we do decide to buy one of these.

    See how can come up with good captions.
