Larry Stone is Eminently Awesome

Good to see Larry Stone admit the cold hard facts. Takes a lot of balls to do that.

Geoff Baker, however...

I like Geoff , and think he's great at his job, but he has yet to man up to the fact that he might have been wrong about quite a few assumptions surrounding the Mariners.

Thoughts?

Random 50 word fact: It is estimated that at any one time, .7% of the world's population is drunk.

Baker

To be fair, he does admit he was wrong in today’s game thread. But, it’s a very defensive, “ok I was wrong whatever let’s move on” kind of way.

That's what I have a problem with.

I fucking hate you Mariners

And Baker for that matter...

I fucking hate you Mariners

RED??

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

FWIW

My mother and I talked over the weekend, and she said to do everything I could to make it to the LL/USSM event if the grad schedule will allow me to. Once you guys have a time and place, we’ll see.

Way to man up, Stone.

Good for stone he gets some shit but Heyt an apology is an apology even if

it doesn’t quite seem that way so that’s a-okay cool.

by Liebkartoffel on May 14, 2008 3:43 PM PDT reply actions

He gave the USSM props yesterday on his radio spot with Groz and Gas.

Perhaps not an apology, but it was nice that he was giving the right people credit.

Maybe we can get him to go on the show once a week and just read passages from USSM and LL

now that Dave’s gig is no more.

But I agree—Stone doesn’t need to apologize for having faith in the Mariners’ plan and thinking that they could win. Simply pointing out that the naysayers were apparently right and not just a bunch of pessimistic assholes is more than enough to make him awesome in my book.
