Norton is a pinch hitter

and they bring in Wilkerson who’s been struggling all year….. typical.

The reason it is important

was because he’s the reason we didn’t NEED to make the Bedard trade. Something that was clearly overlooked by Bav.

...and now I'm here

Ironicly, the Korean emote for laugh out loud is 'kekekekeke," each syllable sounded with a long A sound

If I could go to M’s games when Baek pitched, I would take a sign that is a giant Zergling, and a string of “ke’s” would come out of the mouth to celebrate his strikeouts.

by Jordan of Boise on Apr 25, 2008 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

a giant Zergling implying that Koreans pwn at Starcraft?

It can be hard telling your wife what Wilkerson plays for the Mariners.

Im not sure how I feel about that

It combines my two favorite things (well foods at least), but it sounds pretty gross at the same time

by thenatural on Apr 25, 2008 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you threw those files my way...

I could make it fit a bit better. Noise ninja and oversharpening of the Smurf, plus a motion blur to the M’s logo, could pull it all into something that looked much more natural.

That would dilute the point, of course, but it could be done.

Do we have anyone on the team to hit?

If we had anyone on the bench who could hit they’d find a spot in the linup.

Well, if we had sane management. And in that case, the team wouldn’t look remotely like this.

He would have 350 a day or two ago,

but Hoffman blew another save.

It's looking that way.

His fastball looks about 5 mph faster than his change.

Seriously... Its sad to see guys like that keep going and going and tarnish their legacy

I mean the guy’s had an amazing career, but most people will remember the one-game playoff from last year as the defining moment

by thenatural on Apr 25, 2008 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

eeh

he still had a pretty good year

I don’t think anything he does can really ruin his legacy, short of being run out for 20 blown saves.

pre-surgery Lowe is a good idea

by oreotree on Apr 25, 2008 9:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He corks his bat.

It gives him the power to hit one up the middle into the gap. His problem, though, is that when he tries to take it home, he all too often gets caught in a rundown and loses his hot streak.

...and now I'm here
