And the inning is over so Rizzs threw the kid out ASAP

That was interesting. I’m torn between figuring Rizzs a pedo and figuring him as a dick for railroading that kid out so quickly.

His only plus pitch is his change-up and he won’t throw it. He throws that silly loopy slurve and BP fastball ad auseum.

Very?

He has to be one of the most underrated players in the game. I keep beating this drum to people I know.

And I’m not sure if the metrics agree, but by most accounts he’s pretty damn good with the glove, too.

by Teej on May 17, 2008 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

He was horrible early in his carreer in Texas...

But i bet he would put up top 8 or so 1B #’s at this point… With how poor the postion is right now, and how much PETCO kills his power #’s, his #’s would get a healthy jump in a neutral park. His away splits theis year, .327 .355 .606 with a .961 OPS.

mariners games remind me of meatloaf songs

they start off with potential and then you realize it’s going to be a long fucking song. and you are going to lose minutes of your life while it’s on

After the love comes a darkness in hell,
A demon inside you like a bottomless well

Burnin’, burnin’, through your brain
Unthinkable pain…

Do i need to resort to another Beer or go after the bottle of Crown on the counter? Gameday and Meatloaf might not be the best mix…

I took some pancho on a camping trip one time and I also ate some fire hot doritos

Things were coming out every orifice 2 hours later, I vowed to never drink tequila again.

Suffice to say I still drink it, vowing never to down it again every time.

In my younger days,,,

I woke up on back to back nights on the roof half naked with a chick i didn’t know the next morning. For some reason now that im going to get married, Tequila isnt quite as entertaining.
