Whatever it is Felix looks less than afraid
by Jeff Sullivan on May 16, 2008 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Felix fears nothing.
He should learn to fear his fastball.
Hmm
Felix: “Hey Tits, turn your head and cough!”
I like midgets more than I should.
Shawn Chacon vs. Sidney Ponson starting shortly
Major ugly potential
I dunno they are left handed
and have moyers name and number on their jersey
and have moyers face

That's an impressive jaw hinge.
I had no idea Tits was the buy from the toothbrush ads.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
MLB says they are our natural rivals, so it must be true...
Right?
I like midgets more than I should.
Jayson Werth has 2 HR and 7 RBI in 2 PA so far tonight.
Nice run support for Moyer.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
I won't be home for this one, but you know what I *will* be home for?
DRaysBay invasion, tomorrow morning, 10am. Be there.
I'm like an autistic kid when it comes to planning drives
I know beforehand exact where, when, and how long my stops will be. I use SRWeb to get speed limit information so I know exactly how fast I will be going, I adjust for traffic based on time and presence of passing lanes, and I annotate exactly where the signs are that I will be taking pictures of so I don’t miss one
I spend more time preparing for a drive then I do driving
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
At 10 AM I'll be kicking field goals at my local high school.
Because that’s how I roll. I hit a 40 yarder in like January. I’d practiced for about 3 weeks at the time.
Lineup
Ichiro, CF
Jose Lopez, 2B
Adrian Beltre, 3B
Raul Ibanez, LF
Richie Sexson, 1B
Jeff Clement, DH
Kenji Johjima, C
Wladimir Balentein, RF
Yuniesky Betancourt, SS
I think we're, for the first time, actually happy to see Richie in
the lineup. Although it’s only because it means no more Cairo.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Yeah Memorial Cup Hockey
Kitchener Rangers V Gatineau Olympiques square off in the finals of the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League). Glaude Giroux of Gatineau has scored 51 points in in 19 playoff games – Yikes! Sadly, he’s the property of the Flyers.
Your favorite meme is dead
Dude, Baseball Report is dissing on us HARDCORE.
“The Rangers’ hitting has saved Ron Washington’s job!”
”...mmm it helps when they play the Mariners.”
Strike. These. Mutherfuckers. Out.
Don't you diss on Arthur Rhodes!
He had the biggest contribution in Wednesday’s win!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
That was 7 and 8 years ago!
Get over it! He wasn’t the only one to suck during the playoff series!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
John Fucking Halama pitched the one fucking decent game of his life
and Rhodes blew it.
I’m never forgiving him for that.
Lets play "Whose line is this?"

that was suppose to reply to Robert but my fingers had a mind of their own.

Cut them and the rest of your hand off with a chainsaw!
Then replace it with said chainsaw!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Are these really the keys to the game
or just a product from our Krueger Keys Generator?
God it's fucking hot.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
Yep, 95 here too.
91 right now, but it was 95 earlier.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Your screen name is "Butthol".
If that’s not the most shameful thing ever, then I don’t know what is.

Hey Krueger this year NL>AL
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
And the Mariners strike first in the World Series of suck!
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Dammit Joh
Let that ball get to the backstop you cunt.
Haha Padres, you can NEVER outsuck us!
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Johjima hurts the team by calling for suck pitches.
Favor the Bold
I don't know
But I call the top bunk!
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
Yep.
Point is, you’ve replaced me as youngest super-active member of LL!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Dave is one of us now.
Someone needs to deliver a bottle of whiskey to the broadcast booth for him.
I still want a broadcast team that consists
of Dave, Jay Buhner, and booze.
That doesn't sound like a fun thing you beat you to.
I’d prefer to curbstomp to a selection of Offspring tracks.

Life imitates the Dugout.
I miss that place, I didn’t want it to die like that.
You know, I don't mind because I'm 100% advocating tanking for Strasburg
But does anyone on the team know that Batista sucks?

"For crying out loud"
Yes
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
The best part about going to Batista Day
is that the beer stands in the stadium stay open later than the bars do.
Just warning you.
If it’s not epic there will be hell to pay.
And if you don't pay up,
Satan will summon Zombie Babe Ruth to eat your brains!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Jeez. You love criticizing my every comment,
don’t you? You just skim them and post these pictures. Let’s settle this once and for all.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
I like it!
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
Wait, it was spelled correctly?
I thought there was just “Pwn” and “Pwned”?
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Considering it's completely made up and the point is to misspell it,
I don’t think there’s a real set of rules.
"The wind really carried that baby!" "We're in a dome,
an enclosed enviroment, there is no wind.”
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Figures. The one I didn't bother watching.
First one was the only very funny one. Rube in the second one, he was the man.
So do I watch this game
or watch my pirated copy of Vexille?
Dave is just about ready to flip out.
Batista needs to walk the bases loaded and then give up a slam.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
yawn
The Mariners are a good reason why i believe Karma dosent exist.
Mariners= humanitarian team but get terrible luck
Off topic
What’s with all of the home teams winning in the NBA playoffs? I know you’re supposed to win at home, but 22 of 23? WTF
You'd prefer Cairo to Richie?
What the hell man.
Dude....no
Even a done Sexson is better than Cairo. Richie is bad, Cairo is AWFUL.
Sexson will finish with an OPS of under .700 I would be willing to bet
and his defense is terrible.
I would have to imagine the Mariners would wind up putting someone else at 1B if Sexson were to be gone for the season somehow.
KENJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
It’s about friggin time bud.
So hey Kenji's back.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
Yep, his first homer was an opposite field homer.
Since then, it’s been all pull.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
1998 Expansion Teams Reign Supreme!
Trade him now while he's hot!
I like the guy, but I like throwing all our eggs in an unproven basket with giving Clement the full time duties.
Think SF would give us Lincecum for Kenji?
I think there’s an outside chance.
So, judging by the quotations, someone has actually said this before
Who? Where? What?
"WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN WHY AND SOMETIMES HOW!?"
If anyone gets this reference I will be shocked.
Well that settles that
Sounds perfect for Me, Myself, and Irene though. Where he takes that dump on his lawn.
do we face Peavy this time?
The Mariners are a good reason why i believe Karma dosent exist.

that sucks
i’ve never seen him pitch

Come on Lopez
We need one of your patented weak popups to 2B right now.
Hopefully (if you're rooting for the Mariners), Lopez will think he's in the 5 spot.
Drive them runners in.
Dammit
I keep accidentally clicking on the quick bookmarks at the top margin of Firefox, cutting away from this page that takes forever to load. Dammit.
I meant it's a possible sign that you shouldn't be on LL.
Not that I don’t want you here.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Sign No. 1 You suck at pitching in the Major Leagues:
Khalil Greene does anything but strikeout looking against you.
Not THAT decent.
And Vlad might be able to walk if he ever felt he needed to. Vlad’s one of those guys - like Ichiro - who have such great hitting skills that they can put up good OBPs without walking much.
Greene can’t do that. He’s a Two True Outcomes guy.
I suggest a new city law
that prohibits children under 14 from entering sporting events.
I didn't really flag your post you douchebag
Thank God this isn’t Reddit.
Or without kissing your girlfriend in plain sight
of your mailman who happens to also be your neighbor!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
You guys have issues.
If you guys say what I say, it’s funny. But if I say it, it’s stupid.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Whenever I say anything.
No matter what it is, there’s either a facepalm picture or that another one.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Well that's because you're naturally inclined to say nonsensical things
We could fix that though, if you’d listen to your critics.
Why did they cancel this show!?
WHY!?
It was genuinely funny
Oh, believe me I do
But I’m just not one of those that denies the still-funny sketches because they used to be glorious.
There's still some decent stuff
but it’s lost in a pool of shitty sketches.
There's no crying in
semi-lame, uinspiring on-going Mariner game threads.
He gets a pass though
He is one of very, very few on this team who has performed well. So lay off of Lopez
There was a point in time I didn't like nested subthreads
but it’s really grown on me.
I think it makes threads way more comprehensible
Otherwise its all a jumble
Lord knows we need all the help we can get
making sense out of the chaos that shows up in our game threads.
I think Youtube does have it
Not that they really need it as much though
Youtube needs to get rid of their comment section entirely.
“OMG AWESOME!”
“STFU N00B!”
“WTF THIS IS GHETTO”
No, it's like they have the first reply nested, but the rest of replies seem to be to the original post
And they oftentimes won’t specify what’s a reply when it’s a new comment. No idea why.
I love you Beltre
Sure he has shitty at bats from time to time, this kinda stuff makes me not care.
Why must you torment me?
All I ever wanted to do was love you but you treat me like this!
Josh Hamilton:
5-5 2HR tonight.
Thank god we didn’t go after that guy.
Yeah that would've sucked
We might be 2 or 3 games better, and we’d all still think we had a shot of winning.
Oh wait that might not be that bad of a thing
Yeah I was at Yale all summer.
And they shot part of the movie there. So they hooked me up with some nice 50’s threads and gave me $40 to stand around.
Awesome.
We will need a screencap when it comes out on DVD.
I refuse to believe that Harrison Ford the actor exists
Only his characters exist in my world.
He's like 70.
He’s old enough to be a crotchety old man. Just stay off his lawn.
Dude, seriously, fuck you
I will not forgive anyone who insults Indiana Jones. That whole series is, and the new movie will be, completely awesome. Seriously, how dare you.
We'll see if you say that...
when he comes out with another one in another 8 years, and he’s wheelchairing around like Stallone.
Just so you know, I'll stop the "..."
if BrianL stops making fun of my every comment.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
You should just stop it anyway
Meme’s have to actually be funny at their origin to catch on.
You could win if you weren't so desperate
I know you won’t believe this, but the LL crew is not bad people. For all of our negativity aimed at you, to be honest we are just trying to help you develop a better sense of humor. I am pretty sure if you embraced that people would not bother you at all.
Coach, I've stopped posting the images
and I’ve stopped replying to your comments. Please stop with your tomfoolery or head elsewhere to cool off.

I was going off the initial Sims call
who suggested that the runner tagged Yuni.
Not sure why he didn’t make the relay throw.
I just realized that this game is the contest of the epic fail
and we are losing… I mean winning?
We are both...
Its the beginning of “The Battle For Strasburg.”
by mont_mariner on May 16, 2008 9:17 PM PDT up reply actions
Uhh, yeah
Lowe is totally wild. Like, so wild he should not be in the majors, am I offbase in thinking that?
I don't think it's that bad.
He has days of control vs no control. As he goes along, those’ll probably fade.
I wouldn’t get too worked up.
Does anyone remember last year when he lost his splitter for a week?
I never thought I’d see Jeff want Eddie to come back.
Tip:
If you would have left off the “Oh, good,” that comment would have been funny. Interesting statistics, are usually taken well.
The “Oh, good,” makes that comment sound more snide than I think you are going for.
Not trying to rile you up or anything, really.
God I hate that 600 HR commercial
Come up with a better idea…
It's pronounced Clay.
It’s also short for Claiborne.
This thread is the Anti-GTE.
We must never let it come in contact with a normal game thread.
If Anti-GTE came into contact with Independent GTE, then
the GTE we know and love will cease to exist! Worlds are colliding!
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Alrighty I'm going to go watch Vexille.
See you all at DRaysBay tomorrow morning.
Randy Winn is an All-Star, no doubt about it.
He knows how to play the game.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
If only I could vote for Bocock.
I’d rock out with my Bocock out.
See,
this is what gets you into trouble.
If you’re going to make fun of people, don’t sound like a Rush Limbaugh doing it, first off.
because Yuni blows
according to every defensive metric
Well, luckily we've got Triunfel
But yeah, I guess we could use a stopgap in the meantime
I actually have always thought of him to be a pretty good hitting SS.
He’s just not having a good year. His LD% is down, but his BABIP is wayyy down.
Yuni sucks at hitting too
Moreso than Cabrera. Yuni’s redeeming factor has always been his defense, and without that, he’s worthless.
Sure, let's just talk a 46 player out of retirement
and except him to win the AL Batting Title.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
You're just mad...
because Olerud wasn’t there that year.
I think he just doesn't have an "online voice" yet.
So he gets frustrated because people don’t understand what he’s saying.
How about Robert promising to, for the entire week,
Read whatever Coach says in Butters’ voice? That was my favorite.
Butters, hmm?
I always read his comments with a Pop’n’Fresh voice, myself.
You weren't even born yet!
If Anti-GTE came into contact with Independent GTE, then the GTE we all know and love would cease to exist! Worlds are colliding!
His LD% is up this year. BABIP is down significantly.
I don’t think we’ll be seeing a sub .800 OPS much longer.
Maybe the Tigers will hit another 0fer stretch,
like so many other times this year…
We could be the team to bring them out of it….Yeah, we could be that team.
At least we would be loved in Detroit.
I just had a revelation
I looked up at the inning, and it said top of the 9th with 2 outs.
And for some really really stupid and random reason, I thought the game should be over and that we’d already lost by 2, and these were just extra at-bats for the Padres. So I said to myself, “WTF?! What are we even playing for!”
Then I picked up the pieces of my fanhood and realized I was just spacing out.
Boom, a second revelation, I realized that the sentence I had just uttered was entirely coherent and ironically well-deserved.
And I found solace in that. So I told you guys. You guys being Faux and Coach, the only remnants of this terrible Game thread.
Aww, wasn't that sweet.
And, yes, those ABs in the bottom might as well not happen, so you were completely right in thinking the way you did.
we have way to many people with numbers in the 50's
50 – WLAD!
51 – Ichiro!
52 – GS(shut up fuck you “buffalo/silva”)
53 – Rhodes
54 – Green
55 –
56 – Jarrod
57 – Lowe
58 – Cha
59 – EOF
anyone else think this is weird?
WTF, man?
You think you can come in at the end of this game thread, and just drop some new info, and we be all, “well sheeit, that’s some interesting shit”, when we were here the whole fuckin game, slavin away to keep LL’s comments up, makin fun of CO enough for 3 people?
Aww, fuck.
You’re just in time for the fun part. Y’know, when we’re down by two, and Morrow walks in a meaningless run.
He had it.
Richie almost cost us two runs, though.
The replay they showed on FSNNW (Through MLBTV) looked good.
Honestly, though, I don’t care. I just want this game to be over, and that was the quickest way to it.
I don't understand
how it could have looked good, it was never in his glove
Well, the ump didn't get a great look at it.
If Anti-GTE came into contact with Independent GTE, then the GTE we all know and love would cease to exist! Worlds are colliding!

No, totally
Whatever the ump calls is the call, it doesn’t matter what “really” happened. Just saying I don’t see how it could have looked good on a replay :)
The replay I saw, the ball was behind the ump.
Plus, I think the ump wants to leave too.
The ball was never visible to the ump.
it was rolling around by Joh’s gut, then at his thighs, but the ump was shielded.
whoa
me and mac are on the same page! WFB in to run.

I can't believe people
actually want the M’s to win.

I think there's no way we actually get the #1 pick and get to have a Strasburgasm
so we might as well win
you don't get a stolen base
if it’s scored indifference
When you know the other team isn't going to throw,
you might as well take it and eliminate the force play.
Age old riddle:
If a player eliminates the force, and no contact is made, was it worth the effort?
Yay!
If Anti-GTE came into contact with Independent GTE, then the GTE we all know and love would cease to exist! Worlds are colliding!
Why are you interviewing
Jody Geurt?
If Anti-GTE came into contact with Independent GTE, then the GTE we all know and love would cease to exist! Worlds are colliding!
that looked like a ball
but the pitch before it was probably a strike, so whatever.
FREE JEREMY REED!!
Inspirational story alert!!!
Everybody say AWWWWW…
I still agree with Jeff, especially after seeing the women involved.
And I'm off to bed...
I can’t believe I stayed up till 1AM to watch this game.
They just wanted to see a Mariner game!!!
Oh wait, no they didn’t….
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Oh man I hope they all made out
hope hope hope
by Jordan of Boise on May 17, 2008 1:40 AM PDT up reply actions
Well I'm glad I skipped the end of this game
to watch a real gem of a Japanese film. Vexille is out on DVD in a few weeks, go get it.
