I only got it now that you mentioned there was something to get.
I LOL’d.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

I have evloved so far beyond everybody else that I do not see colors.

if you didn't see colors
wouldn’t you be unable to see?
I have incredible hearing and tactile sensation

Not necessarily.
His cones could fail, leaving him unable to distinguish between different frequencies of light, but his rods – which detect only differences in amplitude – might still work fine.
He’d see only light & dark, aka black & white.
Therefore, he must be lying.

I had a black and white tv as a child
they call color tv ‘color tv’ for a reason

Clement C
Bonds DH
Johjima + Vidro = not a bad bench
How do you not think that's a strike Grady?

A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
25 minutes until the weekend for me
and in that time Batista will pitch to… carry the two…. THREE BATTERS?
THROW THE GOD DAMN BALL
The Indians announcers were talking about
how different his delivery is.

Let me help so people will get off your case
NO HITS? Cool.

They've been laughing at him all series
and he’s still the best player on the field..
At least we're kind of making Byrd work.
Sort of.

I just noticed the incredibly communist and unAmerican name of the ballpark in Cleveland.

I don't get the jinxing thing.
Throughout my childhood, it was something you don’t say to the pitcher. I don’t give a shit if an announcer or a fan says it. And it’s not like there has ever, ever in history been a no-hitter when no one in the universe said anything while it was happening. And I’ve heard announcers “jinx” pitchers before, and they still go onto throw the no-hitter.
Sorry, I’m not trying to get overly logical about something that’s exactly the opposite, but I guess I think it’s fine for fans and announcers to talk about it. Just not within earshot of the pitcher.
There's nothing to get
thats the whole thing about it… it makes no sense, but players and fans are superstitious as hell
Yeah, I hear you.
I just can’t stand when people get screamed at for mentioning it while watching on TV 2,000 miles away from where it’s happening.
Have you done anything more substantial in your life?
if yes, then maybe… I would assume, however, that the answer is no
God I can't wait to see the Hawks
pulling that play with him.
The best part?
We have two Schmitts on this team meaning his jersey is gonna read “O. Schmitt”

As much as I despise the NBA
I agree that he is a very, VERY good announcer.
How come Richie didn't get that?
He’s so tall…
yeah Batista was going to throw a no-hitter.

Cleveland sure likes to strike out to crappy pitchers
Nice catch Ichiro, btw
It was really good
Ichiro makes it look easy tho…
75% of the world is covered by water.
The rest is covered by Ichiro.
Some people cut themselves. I root for the Mariners.

In a batting slump?
Just wait til Seattle rolls into town.
I don't understand
Why is Mel telling our pitchers to continue going low and inside to power hitting lefties?
Nice tag Clement!
I like midgets more than I should.
KENJI FOR BACKUP CATCHER!
CLEMENT FOR STARTING CATCHER!
RAUL FOR DH!
REED FOR LF!
I APPROVE PROVIDED THAT BONDS IS NOT A REALISTIC OPTION

With WLAD and Clement,
It’s a whole new world!
A new fantastic point of… OK I’ll stop before LFOJL finishes this
Holy shit....
Ichiro saves two runs in a single inning. And NICE tag by Clement as well
Love it
Mariners hit 10 base hits, score nothing.
Opponents hit 2 hits, score runs.
Very annoying the clutchness of everyone but us.
Time for Clement and Wlad to show why they were called up.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Or not.
Clement, I was under the impression you weren’t opposed to taking pitches.

Hey look
it’s that Special Olympics commercial that makes me feel like a douchebag for laughing.
Indians announcers are so American

Soccer
is not more entertaining then anything…. WNBA is more entertaining then soccer.

nope
Opinions… I’d rather watch paint dry while sitting on a bed of glowing nails then be subjected to a game of soccer.

And with great ease, I might add.

He needs a good hitch in the military to get him going.
He can the post his plans for world domination in a diary… which he will delete after it is mocked by everyone.

No A-Rod when we face the Yankees
makes me happy.
Depends where you are
More fun to go to games in May here in AZ… by mid-late June, we’re up to 115 degrees, and its just not that great
Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd would be hilarious.

No, Ichiro's arm is strong, but his accuracy is really, really overrated.

that's why I said "you're right"
but when he’s off, he’s off by about 4-6 feet; that throw was off by 14.
Mmm
Fractured rib. Surely it shouldn’t have taken them that long to realise something was badly wrong.
