I have seen the promised land and it is good.

If I may be a total dick:

I can’t decide whether my favorite part of this morning’s raid was this or this.

I should raise tomfoolery and hijinx

Also, you guys should start the "Hire Paul DePodesta" campaign.

Between him and Bonds

there’s only so many things I can hope for that will never ever happen

Royals vs Marlins

This game is more exciting then whatever the M’s have in store

Royals rock

Mariners suck

In all seriousness

The amount of excitement provided by a Rays game blows our Ms games out of the water. There’s no contest.

Our baserunning sucks.

Until Strasburg.

Sternberg saved us.

Let's not start this again, okay?

Fine

I’m gonna go a Brettbaiting

If House isn't a dead meme then Seinfeld isn't.

I'm going to explain this

It’s like Stairway to Heaven.

I an vacuum Stairway is a great great song, but the overhype, overexposure, and the title “The Greatest Song Ever!” have turned it into a cliche.

Besides, Goose has a Seinfeld quote

as his signature last year.

It's been off the air for 10 years

It’s not relevant enough to make for a good meme anymore.

MST3K is the only real exception to that rule, it’s relevance will never die.

by OlSalty on May 17, 2008 5:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ironically

if Seinfeld has died a quicker death it would still be alive in memedom.

by JI on May 17, 2008 5:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Not that the last two seasons were bad per say

But the show BIG! and less clever. It’s kinda sad that most people got to know it through it’s weakest episodes.

by JI on May 17, 2008 6:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

if done right

Seinfeld can still be funny.

FREE JEREMY REED!!

by MFAN on May 17, 2008 6:03 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

agreed

but still, c’mon Seinfeld is too easy a reference

by JI on May 17, 2008 6:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Go Mariners!!!

For shame.

Ugh.

Never going back to Baker’s blog comment section again. It has become the PI Sports forum.

by BrianL on May 17, 2008 5:42 PM PDT   0 recs

I tried to hang around there a few months back,

and I would seriously go to bed angry. It’s just not good for me, so I’ve given it up.

by Teej on May 17, 2008 5:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's even worse now.

Adam got driven off so the lone voice of reason there is gone.

Now it’s a Logie/Mr. X Carousel of Incompetence.

by BrianL on May 17, 2008 5:55 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Am I going to have to save it?

Man, that sucks.

Adam was doing God’s work over there. I don’t know how he did it.

My final mistake was posting Beltre's LD% and BABIP

to show that he’s been damn unlucky so far this season.

And the casual fans descended upon me like locusts…

by BrianL on May 17, 2008 5:59 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I am going to petition to make an LL entrance exam

it will consist of two questions:

(1) What is your opinion of Adrian Beltre as a Mariner?
(2) What is your objective as an LL commenter?

I will receive each person’s answers to those questions and give the user a thumbs up or thumbs down.

It’ll never be implemented but it’s a nice fantasy.

3.

Ken Griffey Jr. is __

A) Mediocre
B) Worse

by JI on May 17, 2008 6:16 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like this idea.

1) Adrian Beltre is an underrated ballplayer who puts up fantastic numbers despite the fact he plays in a ballpark that is death to right-handed batters.
2) To seek the Holy Grail.

by BrianL on May 17, 2008 6:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ooooooooo

1. He is fucking the man. He’s one of the best 3B in the AL, a master with the leather, and can’t hit low and away sliders .
2. To become closer to God (asterisk)

(asterisk)BrianL’s response was better

Go Nova

So whatever happened to EnglishMariner?

Those were the days….before the bad times came

by OlSalty on May 17, 2008 5:44 PM PDT   0 recs

Are you sure?

His symptoms suggested Graves disease.

by BrianL on May 17, 2008 5:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Or Lupus?
