New Blog: Sounder At Heart for Seattle Sounders Fans!

13-14

Funny thing about not having any offense. You never see games like this coming. Red Sox and Yankees fans...I'm pretty sure they go into every game expecting to win, even if they're tied or trailing in the later innings, because they know they're capable of putting a bunch of runs on the board at the drop of a hat. But we don't have that luxury, and so we live in constant fear that regardless of the situation, we may never score again. We've been conditioned to believe that this lineup is woefully inept, and so when they come up with a rally like this to storm out ahead, we're taken completely off guard. And in some respects I think that makes it more fun, more exhilarating. Having justifiably high expectations is cool and all, but the emotional gap between expecting to win and winning is smaller than the emotional gap between expecting to lose and winning, so there's something to be said for being in our position. When the team actually comes through, it feels pretty neat.

King Awesome through 27 games: .309/.409/.553, league-best 20 plays made OOZ, best discipline of his life. He's getting fewer pitches in the zone now than he ever has because pitchers are afraid of him, and pitchers are afraid of him because he's really flipping good. How someone answers the question "has Adrian Beltre been a bust in Seattle?" would be a good litmus test for whether or not the person is worth engaging in conversation. This guy is a hell of a player and absolutely deserving of his nickname. Never leave us, Adrian. We wouldn't be able to take it.

4_29_08_medium
Biggest Contribution: Adrian Beltre, +33.0%
Biggest Suckfest: Kenji Johjima, -23.5%
Most Important AB: Beltre homer, +26.9%
Most Important Pitch: Dellucci single, -22.0%
Total Contribution by Pitcher(s): +20.2%
Total Contribution by Hitters: +27.0%
Total Contribution by Opposition: +2.8%
(What is this chart?)

This calls for a slightly different kind of Recap In Pictures.

Ha that's a good recap of the game.

I am going to have to start using these pics whenever similar situations arise in the future, so you may need to do a similar recap for an M’s loss in the near future.

Pic #5 demands hilarious subtitling /memedom

And sweet gentle Jesus that was one of the most excruciating wins ever. The only part of that game that didn’t hurt was KA’s homerun, otherwise just awful… but hey we won! It’s amazing that this org can’t fill the two easiest positions on the field with someone even remotely competent. Maybe the new kids will bring the offense from terrible to simply bad.

Very cynical outlook on the world

But I feel that you could be right. I wouldn’t want someone committing suicide over the Mariners, whether they take pictures or not.

by Fin on Apr 29, 2008 10:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Something morbid this way comes

Very few people who attempt suicide by slashing their wrists are successful, largely because they don’t know what they’re doing. Not that this is any comfort.

Wait, why am I bring this up? The Mariners won! Woo. Now if only the Avs will save face…

by Frosty Raptor on Apr 29, 2008 11:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think you have to slash vertically not horizontally.

If you slash vertically on the vein, then you could possibly die. If you slash horizontally, you just look emo (definition of emo: stupid). I hope English Mariner (or Jeff) takes note of this.

by Fin on Apr 29, 2008 11:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Forget other human beings, I care about me

and having pictures of someone committing suicide wouldn’t do me any favors.

Is there any ground to fear that, though? Who the fuck would even replace him?

Dude, don't even suggest that

King Awesome will stay healthy his whole contract! (But incase this isn’t the case, there is Joe Crede and Brandon Inge)

by Fin on Apr 29, 2008 11:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No cause for concern here

Beltre will turn 31 in his first season after his current contract expires, which is exactly the sort of age that the current Front Office levitates towards. I think our prospects for watching King Awesome man the hot corner well into the future are rather promising. Unless Boston decides to take a stab at him. Then we’re buggered.

by Frosty Raptor on Apr 29, 2008 11:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Problem is, as Bavasi does

he’ll wait until Beltre’s value is at its peak and THEN extend him when with just an ounce of smarts and/or foresight he could have possibly got Beltre to extend for 3 to 4 years at his current salary.

LL ties with USSM in my heart

But while USSM is more of a teacher/parent, LL is more like a big brother or a cool older friend. It’s too bad there are no pics of Dave Cameron floating around, you could make a sweet Dave/Jeff pic.

Or in pitching terms, I would say USSM/LL is a good one-two punch! Geoff Baker is like Carlos Silva, he is right sometimes, but also wrong other times. and Detect-O-Vision and Baseball Insider are Wasburn/Tits.

Beltre, by the way, is hitting 340/436/660 on the road. With a torn ligament in his thumb.

I spent half an hour on a Picture Story with a Faustian Theme

But then I realized that the story’s conclusion would get me banned, my village razed and my breakfast made out of my dog’s entrails.

So I’ve decided to restrain myself.

Funny stuff here!

That made me laugh heartily, maybe even guffaw.

Holy shit, guys

I don’t know how you did it, but you made one of the funniest posts I’ve ever seen even funnier

You broke out the Tripel!

Personally I prefer the the dubble. Unfortunately the only place locally I knew that stocked it doesn’t get it anymore.

This is an awesome way

to start the day. Thanks to Jeff for an awesome recap, to photoshoppers for an awesome job, and especially to King Awesome for making this all happen…awesomely.

Is it too early to nominate this thread for the LL Hall of Fame?

*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

No, never

but I do think we need to stop adding things to the HOF every other day.

Then of course, it’s not every day someone asks you to prove that the home team can’t change the rules of baseball at will

Anyone care to try and save this thread and email it to me or something?

I can’t see a lot of the pics – anything by Brett, JI, BrianL, a few others

Or is it just something in my FF options? For the record, I’m at work so…

Good show! Unfortunately, I’m going to remember this in place of a really important formula for my Math Final.

You know, for a while there I thought this community lost it's ability to be funny.

I thought maybe it had lost it’s charm.

But by god I think this thread has revived it. We needed this.

Well done everyone.

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

there has been a lack of photoshops this year

Someone should make one where we’re throwing Kenji under a bus.

by Matthew on Apr 30, 2008 12:07 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I need a better Kenji

that doesn’t look half as good as it used to

by JI on Apr 30, 2008 1:04 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

take 2

ehh, unless someone actually has a photo of someone trapped under a bus this idea is beyond my skills.

Ok I just copied + Pasted a real CL ad and changed it around a little

But I think it totally works. (I didn’t actually post it, I am scared of what Jeff would do to me if I did). Here is goes…

Any ladies interested in watching Iron Man on Friday? – 23 (San Diego)

Hello women,
So I was thinking most people usually read this because either they are bored or just trying to get a laugh. Well this Friday I will be going to watch Iron Man most likely in San Marcos with my friends and I was wondering if someone would like to join me. Here is the catch. The following are some questions that I would like to get answered. The one with the most correct answers gets that ticket. Hey it helps past the time by and also it allows YOU to get to know a little bit about me :) Figured it would be something a little different.

Question 1: What was Thomas Cat’s first name before it was changed to Tom (Tom from Tom and Jerry)

Question 2: What ethnic food is Pho?

Question 3: Who is Jay Buhner?

Question 4: What do you look like? (Free points here :D )

Question 5: What do you like to eat? (Also free points :D )

Thats it. Pretty easy I would think. Also if you are wondering about the picture, I just happen to be a big Seattle Mariners fan (you would understand if you were from Seattle). This just happens to be the best one of me.
