SCREW YOU, MY FRIEND DIED FROM EATING TOO MANY INNINGS
by seattlebruin on May 30, 2008 6:19 PM PDT up reply actions
It's OK
the last thing he said to me was that they were delicious, run-free innings.
by seattlebruin on May 30, 2008 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions
That's good to hear.
Because he if he actually died from eating too many chili dogs, he definitely wouldn’t have been run-free.
I like this meme.
Result of an ASUBoyd meltdown, yes?
No, that would be wither
It’s official, HGH = Steriods.

Hi, this is Phil Hughes
Catch all games live on MLB.tv
Except mine, because I’m on the D/L.
This comment from the MLB.com warm up info is great
“As a pitch-to-contact pitcher, he needs the defense to be at the top of its game when he pitches.” – On Carlos Silva.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
What do you guys think of Edison Volquez?
His numbers are ridiculous.
The 4.79 K/9 scares me, and his strand rate is crazy high,
but he’s still pretty awesome. The strikeout numbers are ridiculous.
I reviewed and analyzed some archived MLB.tv video
and concluded that Silva sucks.
Pretty dead today.
Why’s everyone pretending that they have friends to hang out with on Friday nights or something?
I'm still at work
Beta milestone tonight and the Perforce server just went down!

Yeah this is the first project I've worked on with it
previously it was all tortoise SVN stuff but the company we’re working with has us using Perforce. Integrations are a nightmare :(

We moved a few servers at work onto a shiny, new IBM virtual-machine server.

That blew my mind. I didn't even try to jump into that.
It was like double-dutch with 14 people already jumping. I just chilled on the side and watched in awe.
Dodgers offense finally showing up
This makes me happy.
I can’t believe how horrible the Dodgers are at hitting home runs.I thought for sure Kemp would provide some home run power and that Loney would be a bit better.
Jose Reyes has more homers than anyone on the Dodger though, what the hell is up with that?
The Dodgers could be a tough team to watch on offense for awhile given that most of their regulars are young kids, if none of them ever develops power…
Sorry my NL fandom kicked there for a moment.

Rays with the walk off win
Those are boring according to Angels fans.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Dope.
My Yankee-fan friend keeps telling me that “the Rays have already blown their load.”
So with every win, I laugh a little bit harder.
I've been singing the praises of the Rays since November
I’m going to look twice as smart as I was to all the non-internet peoples.
by JI on May 30, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
I told people during the offseason that
the Rays were gonna be good sooner than they thought, the Yankees fans scoffed saying they’d been hearing it for years.
Its been pretty delicious so far watching them eat their words.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Yeah, I know more about baseball then anyone I've ever met in person.
It’s delicious.

I kinda hate it
I don’t have anyone to talk to in person about baseball and most people get annoyed with the stuff I know.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
I live in LA
and I’m an engineer, so a lot of the people I know are primarily Hoops fans or not sports fans.
People find it weird that I’m such a nerd but love pretty much every sport.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Nice. I wish I could have gotten to Vegas before the season.
The over on the Rays was free money. I would have been tempted to take the under on the Mariners, but I just don’t think I could have done it. I’d feel a little too dirty.
Man that's what I should have done.
I’m just fleecing my friend.
Huzzah!
This friend is especially dumb. Lifelong Giants fan.
That's brutal.
I work with two women who are Giants fans who grew up in the Bay Area. They’re not die-hard to the point where they’re really down about everything, but it’s gotta be hard to know your favorite team won’t compete for at least the next half-decade.
Wait, we’re getting close to that point, aren’t we?
Yeah but we've jumped onto the Rays bandwagon.
It mitigates the pain.

I could understand why you'd show up at the beginning
but are down 6-0 in the first inning. i don’t even know why I’M here anymore
So I just turned on the game.
Could anyone run through things for me? I notice3d it was Dickey time. First thing I saw was a knuckler, and I felt satisfied.
I hate baseball right now.

Jeff tried to unload me on you.
Sorry ‘bout that.
Norton's BA wasn't great
but they didn’t give him many chances to play before they fired him. I was scratching my head over that one. He was the only LH bat on the bench at the time
By the way, that Silva contract is making me feel so warm and snuggly right now...
I could wrap myself in it like a blanket.
His love handles could be comforters.

Inge at catcher?
Man I love that guy.
Also, maybe NathanHo was right, we should’ve burned the tree, we should’ve been unhappy with our success last year because it definitely damaged our franchise more than helping it.

It sure is great they traded Baek
for a sack of dirt. I mean, a capable, back-of-the-rotation starter for league minimum pay is significantly less valuable then a $40+ million groundball pitcher who can’t induce groundballs or strike anyone out. GO MARINERS!!!
This is kind of awesome actually...
I contemplate how thoroughly the Mariners suck and I forget how much my girlfriend sucks.

If he can play catcher and a great 3b, We should trade Beltre for prospects, and trade for Inge.

annd it’s 7-0…would you go, what the fuck and just head out?
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
I was at the Reds/Mariners where the game was like 14-1
I stayed and bugged the shit out of every Mariner fan in attendance I think by booing and talking shit about everyone on the roster. It’s the only way I could cope
I was jk
But that was a Coachy thing to say. Despite the M’s sucking, I would disapprove of any move involving Beltre.
If he's gone in 1.5 years
Might as well trade him, since I don’t see us being good this year or the next year

I read in the paper that Carlos was going to talk to some
of the guys in the clubhouse because they weren’t taking the losing seriously enough. Seriously Carlos, because your 8 ERA this Month isn’t their fault…
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
Technically, ERA is fielding dependent
And the M’s defense is one of the worse, especially since Silva is a pitcher that relies on defense, so it is kind of their fault. Sorry, don’t mean to be too technical.
Like the game preview on MLB.com said
"As a pitch-to-contact pitcher, he needs the defense to be at the top of its game when he pitches." – On Carlos Silva

Yes, but even if he had the best fielders
It’d still be 6 ERA

No worries
only 3.65 more years of him. Bill’s lucky, he wont’ have to be around to suffer Silva much longer
