Huh

Who's that guy warming up in the bullpen?

by ThundaPC on Apr 8, 2008 7:04 PM PDT reply actions  

A Shoeless Upton got a triple.

But he was called out anyway, because Beltre is the king of awesome.

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on Apr 8, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

Upton laced one down the line

Wilk relayed to Loafie, Loafie made a perfect strike to Beltre, and even though Upton appeared to beat the throw, he was called out.

by Gomez on Apr 8, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

sick thx

also i fully approve of this Loafie nickname

Ump probably should've gave it to him. He ran all the way to 3rd with his shoe off.

I don't remember why I came to that conclusion.

I think it had to do with two incorrect posts. The first under coach's name saying something uncoachlike and then adding "whoops, wrong screenname" and the second was him responding to Coach asking who it was with "it's me!" and then "or not" - could be an indicator that he meant to write that under coach's name, but not necessarily.

Once you open that pandora's box of impersonation/anonymity/cloning, then the value placed in everyone's username and their attached reputation in the community is lost.

I'm pretty sure Jeff will get to it eventually.

No harm to wait till then.

ever been attacked by ninjas?

No, you haven't, otherwise you'd be dead. Jeff's wrath is like that, but worse.

Oh boy.

Hi guys! If my impersonator doesn't stop, I'll kill him.

Don't know. Haven't really seen it much myself.

Jeff's pretty conservative with the banhammer. Course then again, he hasn't really had to use it. Since this is a pretty tight knit community, we do a pretty good job of policing ourselves. It's one of the things that makes this place so awesome.

Yep. Graham is generally our keeper of the mighty hammer.

Jeff's wrath may be a ninja's, but Graham's is like a hurricane.

RON: God that really got out of hand fast. I mean that really escalated quickly. Brick did you stab a man with a trident? BRICK: Yeah, there were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident. RON: Yeah, I saw that. Brick killed a guy. BRICK: Yeah, I stabbed a man on the heart. RON: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should propably find a safe house or close relative you can stay with beacuse you're probably wanted for murder.

Where's Coach gone?

He's faded out of the picture.

This is going to be like the "You can't escape this bullshit" fanpost

where people are gonna be all confused if they weren't here at the beginning.

From the AP wrapup:

Mariners manager John McLaren said injured closer J.J. Putz (ribcage) is making progress and could resume throwing later this week.

by seattlesundevil on Apr 8, 2008 11:16 PM PDT reply actions  

Current timeline has him returning in full within 2-3 weeks most likely.

It doesn't look like he'll require much, if any, extra time past the minimum on the D/L and they're likely going to want him to take about a week afterwards in rehab assignments since the injury is normally one that lingers and since it was early in the year.

That's a relief (no pun intended)

I don't like feeling scared with a 1 or 2 run lead in the 9th.

by seattlesundevil on Apr 8, 2008 11:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't know if it was mentioned

but the grammar in the update about the "Sonic's" game was horrible.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.
