5/14: Open Game Thread, Part 2

Tiny by Jeff on in Game Threads

I haven't been watching this game, thanks to work and all that fun stuff, but it would appear from the line score that our corner outfield defense is awesomely bad.

McLaren just wasted a Beltre AB with that hit and run

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

This team is why I drink:

a) coffee
b) beer
c) lighter fluid
d) all of the above

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on May 14, 2008 12:22 PM PDT   0 recs

Well it's not A...

Why would you want to stay up and watch this team, I choose BC.

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

by ColeFitz on May 14, 2008 12:23 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well.. that's true.

I was trying to make a “coffee because this team puts me to sleep” reference, but I suppose your point is valid.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on May 14, 2008 12:25 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Eh, that makes sense

D it is.

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

JI they're already discussing your impending free commenting status over there at HH

in this FanPost

I worked hard on this and Jeff closed comments in the old post so I’m posting it anyway, dead subthread or not

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 12:22 PM PDT   0 recs

Obviously I'd like to return home to VEB one day

but until they do a full commenter housecleaning they will never be able to contend for a championship

We have a blog option

I hear Jeff is in negotiations with other posters, though.

JI is part of our core

he’s not going anywhere. It’s the periphery we have to improve. I have high hopes for this Liebkartoffel character but right now it’s mostly potential.

Coach Owens has been a massive bust

we’re looking into trading him for Dewon Brazelton or Sean Burroughs.

by Jeff on May 14, 2008 12:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

a bust?

that implies there were high hopes for him.

FREE JEREMY REED!!

by MFAN on May 14, 2008 12:37 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He had a lot of energy, really carried a spark

unfortunately it hasn’t sustained.

by Jeff on May 14, 2008 12:37 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Change of scenery

challenge trade. In talks with LSB re: SaltyGoesYard

by Jeff on May 14, 2008 12:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think that's a huge coup for us.

Salty really brings a lot of sarcasm to the team. He’s a big bat. Bit inconsistent, but when he connects…

Just don't get roped into giving up Liebkartoffel too

don’t give up anything more than a C prospect, like maybe F’nA’s

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 12:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

F'nA's is a catalyst

real clubhouse guy.

by Jeff on May 14, 2008 1:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

You need gritty guys like that.

You’re not going to win if you don’t have gamers on your team.

...and now I'm here

by Librocrat on May 14, 2008 1:02 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks, Matthew

Jeff’s a terrible GM, so all of us need to help with his personnel moves

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 1:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Screw the future

Matthew and Graham might leave in free agency before Liebkartoffel is ready to contribute. Lets go for it this year.

by Robert on May 14, 2008 1:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Defending against trolls is underrated

Lets just have as many high recomend posters in our rotation as possible.

by Robert on May 14, 2008 1:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

The Times blog has Mr. X.

There’s a reason they didn’t block his IP.

by JI on May 14, 2008 1:03 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Corcoran has the potential

Just needs to make some adjustments to his delivery

by Graham on May 14, 2008 1:03 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I thought that was Matthew

Change of scenery and screen name later, he’s a Hardball Times writer and SBN All-Star

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 1:06 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

you forgot sexy beast

but I forgive you this time.

by Matthew on May 14, 2008 1:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Sorry about that

us regular commenters have trouble memorizing all your accomplishments

by seattlebruin on May 14, 2008 1:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Just ask any one who saw him destroy opposing trolls

Graham was the most feared commenter in his day; it is a crime he is not in the hall of fame

by JI on May 14, 2008 1:11 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, in his day

But wanting him back in an LL uniform is just a Griffey-esque dream

::ducks::

Just joking Graham!

In the name of the Bedard, the Felix, and the Ichiro, amen.

by rlintott on May 14, 2008 1:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Graham's personality and dealings with the media really hurt him

if he had just been a little more personable and responded better to the performance enhancer questions, there’s no doubt he’d be in the SBN HOF already
