WOW!

by stlcardinalsfang on Apr 27, 2008 1:20 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Could you quit with the Rays crap?

We get it – you like the way their team is put together, and they have some great young talent.

This is a Mariners blog though and I don’t see many other SBN editors posting praise for other clubs. It’s not funny or anything either.

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 1:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Sorry, came off harsher than I intended. But come on.

Go Mariners.

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I like TB

Because they are a ray of hope (sorry) in the war of two evils in the AL EAST… Fuck NYY, Fuck Boston, finally a legit alternative that has a shot at shutting espn the fuck up (not that they will)

by mariners124m on Apr 27, 2008 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Ok...

So support them on their blog?

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

You cannot be seriously telling Jeff what he should and shouldn't post on HIS OWN BLOG

It’s not like we lack for sufficient Mariners coverage here anyway.

by esoteric on Apr 27, 2008 1:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

You do realize it's not his blog, but SBN's? He signed a contract giving it to them..

So… I kind of expect Mariners stuff and don’t mind the occasional foray into OT baseball related things.

I didn’t realize it was SO SHOCKING to ask for RAYS stuff to go away. This is the Mariners blog, right? ...

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 1:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not as if I'm bashing him as a writer, Jeff is great at what he does.

I just think the Rays stuff is a little much.

They do, a few of them at least.

You are what is wrong with the internet

Such an insightful post, thanks for adding a lot with your comment.

Shouldn’t you be running some simulations on the Mariners or writing a blog critiquing whatever Geoff Baker has written lately?

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, I can complain in the comments section of a Mariners blog.

or were you going to say something else?

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Complain all you want

but this place doesn’t exist to make you happy. It exists to make me happy. The Rays make me happy. So deal with it.

Guys

Let’s stop ganging up on ASUBoyd. Obviously he’s not familiar with LL.

ASUBoyd, take it (Jeff and LL) for what it is, stop kicking the beehive.

by qrsouther on Apr 27, 2008 2:00 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Whatever, forget it.

If everyone here loves the public fellating of the Rays on an M’s blog – fine. Such homerism for these blog writers is embarassing though.

You all realize they can do something wrong and still be good writers, and great contributions to the Mariners community ?

Sorry, butthol. (what? lol.) Didn’t realize it was so controversial to go against the gain here, i’ll make sure to toe the line from now on…

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 2:02 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

No I'm not butthurt or anything

I’m just saying, drama isn’t welcomed by the type of guys we have here. Just like you wouldn’t say that sort of thing to your buddies across the table from you at your local pub.

And it’s just sort of a local joke. We have more confidence in the Rays than Rays fans. We have nothing to be happy about with our own team.

by qrsouther on Apr 27, 2008 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Exactly

Anyone who doesn’t understand this running gag ought to spend more time learning the lay of the land over here before talking out of turn.

by esoteric on Apr 27, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Haha, I apologize I'm not up to snuff on my LL lore.

Glad to see it is such an insular community and not one looking to gain new readers/contributers.

This is perhaps unwise.

by Graham on Apr 27, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Again,

We don’t need to be hating on him for it. He just needs to know, there’s nothing to really be annoyed about with it. It’s a meme. Same thing with Bonds, Lillibridge, etc.

by qrsouther on Apr 27, 2008 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Is it though?

I feel like the Bonds stuff is no problem since it has something to do with the Mariners – get rid of Vidro’s broke ass and bring in some lumber.

Rays though? I just don’t get it i suppose.

Is there some group of people that like being told that?

I think if you walked up to most people and said that, you’d probably find the vast majority of people find it offensive

The vast majority of people

and you do have a point, but the Rays stuff isn’t really THAT excessive, it’s not really a big deal

by ASUBoyd on Apr 27, 2008 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Last I checked

Jose Vidro has been the least productive regular DH in the AL. Ortiz has been the second-least productive.

...

by Jeff on Apr 27, 2008 2:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

At least he is making ~twice as much as Vidro.

Can we take solace in that? I’m not sure.

On the postgame radio show our host had fans walking by stop and sing the tune. Now I’d estimate there were probably 70% Red Sox fans, I doubt half of them know what that song signifies to the Sox.
