Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

4/8: Open Game Thread

Seattle Mariners at Tampa Bay Rays, Apr 8, 2008 4:10 PM PDT


Ichiro CF                   Iwamura 2B
Lopez 2B                  Crawford LF
Beltre 3B                   Pena 1B
Ibanez "LF"               Upton CF
Sexson 1B                Gomes DH
Wilkerson RF           Aybar 3B
Vidro DH                   Riggans C
Johjima C                 Johnson RF
Betancourt SS          Bartlett SS

----------                       ----------

Bedard SP                Garza SP

You know who else sucked for a while? Romans. They were all like Numitor this, Vestal Virgins that, and then Lucius Postumius Megellus came along and commanded the siege of Agrigentum, and the rest is history. So the lesson is don't belittle Tampa Bay, because should they ascend to power they will almost certainly exact their revenge by enslaving you and having sex with your women.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

If Tampa Bay started kicking New York and Boston's asses, denying at least one of them a playoff spot every year.. Short of the M's winning the World Series, there is nothing I would want more from baseball.

ok, what about

Red Sox = Nero. enjoyed for a brief time then corrupted by power
Yankees = Tigellinus. evil, rich
Orioles = Acte. used to be relevant, now ignored.
Blue Jays = Poppara. should be more influential but aren't.
Rays = Petronius? I don't know. Losing steam here.

Hmmm.

I like what you did there. This is sticking purely with nations -

Red Sox = Carthage, proud tradition, came to dominate Med trade when the greeks were weaker
Yankees = Greece/Hellenic empire(s). Duh.
Orioles = Pontus/Pontic Kingdoms. Pretty irrelevant, then killed every mutherfucker in the room, then got killed.
Blue Jays = Eburones or the Germans of the Teutoburg Forest. Yeah, you can wipe out a legion and everyone thinks it's your 'time' but in the end, you're not built to win wars.
Rays = Rome, per the words of our leader.

I think the analogy here would be

to Hannibal Gisco.

The question is whether the Red Sox are Hannibal (the famous one).

Then there's the question of whether THIS year's Rays are L. Postumius Megellus or A. Quintus Sulpicius. They're a rising power, but are they good enough to actually win? Clearly, revenge will be theirs in time. But in 2008?

That is the worse anti-drug commercial I have ever seen.

Bring back the eggs on a frying pan.

This has all the makings of a blowout

The Rays are a team I don't wish injury on though, hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Goddamnit Kenji you stupid fuck.

How, that was a ball?

Belt-high and down the middle? I guess they're spotting Kenji a strike zone handicap.

I don't think it helped.

All said though, Mac is happy the inning is over.

He can't send runners aggressively if there aren't any open bases.

by Jordan of Boise on Apr 8, 2008 5:17 PM PDT reply actions  

Home is an open base.
