New thread
too bad we’re still stuck with Batista
I liked Joel better than Mike
but I liked the bots characters better interacting with Mike over Joel.
I wonder what the M's could have given the Reds for Josh Hamilton...
Edinson Volquez is kind of flakish.

A bunch of you are smart, so I'll ask a question that my teacher could not answer.
How is it possible to find the integral of 1/x? It could be anything, from ln(x) to ln(10000x). Is there any way to actually know the integral of 1/x?
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on May 6, 2008 7:57 PM PDT reply actions
But it could also be ln(abs(2x)) + c
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on May 6, 2008 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions
What'd I do wrong?
Because if you derive ln(2x) you get 2/2x or 1/x
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on May 6, 2008 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions
ln(ax) = ln(x) + c
Where c = ln[a(x-1)], I think…
by Graham MacAree on May 6, 2008 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh, what the fuck am I talking about
c=ln(a)
by Graham MacAree on May 6, 2008 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions
check back tomorrow
or we could start talking about bonds again.
Just look for when we're getting blown out
or whenever we discuss Barry Bonds.
Didnt know about that,,,
Thats a nice toy….
Anybody need any excel macros for regressions and what not statistics for excel?
http://www.coba.unt.edu/itds/courses/dsci3710/excel_files.html
I would recomend the old macros for the tukey stuff, but both macros are cool
But yeah Mathematica can do pretty much anything
It costs a shitload but we get a license as long as we’re enrolled here
New spanish verb I conjugated today:
Mariner (pronounced Maireenair, with Antonio Banderas flavor) significa: To giveth/taketh hope.
I missed it..seriously watching the primary results
What did the blow-hard do now?
I fucking hate you Mariners
i can't take that god damned water-sliding-in-the-street
ad anymore.
yeah, we get it. you purchase car x, you’ll have a threesome every-night
for the rest of your life.
move on.
Out of curiosity
how many runs are we expected to score this season?
Expected or on pace for?
The answers differ. By like 4
What?!
Dave Niehaus… cursed?!
I feel cold…
In the name of the Bedard, the Felix, and the Ichiro, amen.

Hmm... Needs more Bonds.

It ended here an hour ago, but I am recording the re-run of it right now.
I might just move over to that.
comical.
fuck you batista. fuck you so so much.
what i can't understand is why batista can't pitch at home?
it doesn’t make sense
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
I fucking hate you Mariners
The fisherman catch some crab.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Bwahahaha

Wow, 5 R on 3 hits?
Batista needs to quit using the BB gun.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Only if we don't pick up his option next season
and if he becomes the DH
and if Clement becomes the starting catcher
and if Raul is put into a 1B platoon
and if Reed is called up.
And Ken Cloude

Batista never suspected that his
“new strategy” of throwing junk outside the zone only works on the Angels.
~Till the Halo burns out...
In the third one, your smile reminds me of Buster from Arrested Development
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on May 6, 2008 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Awesome.
Again, my pipe-dream AL playoff scenario if the Mariners continue to fail at life
West – Oakland
Central – Cleveland
East – Boston
WC – Tampa Bay
My hatred of the Yankees
exceeds my hatred of the Sox.
You could have Tampa win the east and Detroit win the WC.
What? It could happen. >_>
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
this one is just for the Mariners
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
I think we'll score 6 runs tonight..hold them!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Reverse of last night
I fucking hate you Mariners
Is there anything mechanically wrong with Batista?
I haven’t watched him much this season, but he looked kind of awkward…. And six walks leads to a lot of speculation.
Dave's laughing.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Looks like Baek is going to...
ahh, who knows what he’s feeling
I fucking hate you Mariners
Um, the Orioles HAD a lead in that game.
Us, not so much.
by eponymous_coward on May 6, 2008 8:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Break out the Rally Fries,
I can feel a comeback!!!
Baek sucks at pitching long relief.
He’s an OK starter, but he should be in AAA as the emergency starter.

Wahoo..Clement up!
I fucking hate you Mariners

I almost feel lucky I can't see this one...
the radio version is bad enough.
I have a cousin with 1 testicle, when they yell play ball, he smiles.
My opinion of this game
Some people cut themselves. I root for the Mariners.

Didn't someone call the Ponson shutout?

10-0?????????????
What in the fuck? I start watching in the 3rd inning and it’s 10 fucking 0?
Season over. Officially.
Predicted by Matthew in the series preview, BTW

Geoff Baker will blame the young guys for not stepping up
I fucking hate you Mariners
thanks Mariners offense
you are doing your job to end this misery as quickly as possible.
i, for one, appreciate the gesture.
They only teach abstinence...he doesn't know what that means.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Wow, it's a good thing I checked out of this game early
Time for other activities like sleeping
I have to watch because I want to see Wlad and Clement hit
I fucking hate you Mariners
No it's not.
We were over projections. Now, not so much.

only good thing
one more blowout closer to the firing of Bavasi
Why choose?
Let’s kill two birds with one stone.
Wait, this is a game?
I thought it was just televised batting practice.
SHEEE-IIIITTTT
Call up R.A. Dickey
At least those mop up situations would be fun to watch. Flail at the knuckleball Rangers, flail!

K!
oh, it means fuck all at this point?
damn.

im calling it
regression to the mean, 7 years later?
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores101/101217/101217313.htm
i’m doing this wrong
Why are you making stuff up.
That never happened. That game is a lie.
no, I won't chill
it’s annoying. WOO HOO, OMG! A FOUL BALL IN THE STANDS!! It happens 25 times a game, it’s not exciting.
FREE JEREMY REED!!
He's been extremely unlucky with line-drives being hit right at people
I fucking hate you Mariners
1-2-3 inning
hooray
Life sucks, get over it.
yea, that sucks
but at least rauuuuuuuuuuul can hit
Life sucks, get over it.
Richie Sexson has as many homeruns as Josh Hamilton, and he's taller.
Texas trade us!

A Taco bar sounds fast though
I fucking hate you Mariners
And I don't know why I capitalized "taco"
I fucking hate you Mariners
if by "fast" you mean "delicious"
then yes
Oh, I haven't heard that one before.
How about thinking up something original?
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Today's game isn't providing me reason
to give you extra effort.
Now your mother, on the other hand…
What about "all bloggers live in their mother's basement."?
How many times have you heard that one?
Cheeseburgers are delicious.

While we're on the subject...my favorite MST3K episodes
The Black Scorpion
Lost Continent
Pod People
Gamera
Teenage Caveman
I Accuse My Parents
The Girl In Lover’s Lane
Red Zone Cuba
(I own every single episode ever made – including bootleg DVDs – but am very much an “old school” Joel/Comedy Central guy)
I derived no joy in this thread.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Just because you have had exponentially more experience here means nothing to me
I fucking hate you Mariners
we cannot all be perfect
just settle for being regular
derived...factor....exponential
I fucking hate you Mariners
Only an acute case of lupus
I fucking hate you Mariners
Maybe your British friend can
help with a Graham-Schmidt orthogonalization.

In all seriousness...
... if this continues, Bavasi has to get fired this year, right? Given the expectations, I can’t imagine him keeping his job.
You guys would be LUCKY to get Jim Bowden.
Seriously – look at his moves over the past three years and just tell me you wouldn’t trade Bavasi for him in a heartbeat.
Wow, he traded Jose Vidro for two young guys!
That other GM is stu-oh, wait.
Cheeseburgers are delicious.
And therin lies the horrible, awful truth.
We could very well get someone worse than Bill.
No idea
Consensus seems to be that no one good would take this job, due to the FO sucking, but it’d be hard to get any worse. Unless we hired Sabean or something.
Nothing is going to change
until Lincoln/Armstrong die or retire.
Dave Cameron brought up some good points
on how a good GM candidate like Chris Antonetti could be convinced to GM the Mariners. The inherent problem is that the Mariner’s higher-ups (chuckie and howie) aren’t going to do so and would most liekly hire some old-school dolt like Krivsky.
There's no way that management
hires a GM not in the Old-Boys fraternity.
I never understood the fascination of hoping everyone gets fired.
As if some magical front office is guaranteed to take over and make us the most awesome team anyone’s ever seen.
Sooooooooo
Anyone got favorite Twilight Zone episodes?
Eye of the Beholder?
Monsters due on Maple Street?
That one with the old lady who keeps getting a phone call from her dead ex-fiancee?
That one with that girl who goes on that road trip across the country hitchhiking, and finds out she died later on in the episode?
That one where those kids’ parents are fighting and they jump into the swimming pool and don’t come out?
Birds? Psycho?
I saw the Birds in Bryant Park on an outdoor movie show 2 summers ago. It was a hot and sunny and evening time. It was quite nice. Good movie too.
Photographer breaks his leg, sits in a wheelchair at home all day
and eventually becomes a peeping Tom with his camera. Then, he becomes paranoid and believes his neighbor is murdering people. The movie Disturbia is a modern day Rear Window.
That's the first thing that came to my mind
Is it a direct parallel remake type? Or a loose rip-off.
Rebecca is my favorite Hitchcock.
Closely followed by Strangers on a Train. Rear Window is in the top five. Which, considering that it’s Hitchcock, makes it one of the best movies ever made.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2008 9:01 PM PDT up reply actions
I've never seen Rebecca but Strangers on a Train is awesome.
I’m also partial to North by Northwest.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Was a TV show that was produced, hosted and occasionally directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Half hour horror/thriller films. Awesome show.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2008 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh I didn't notice the "Presents"
I just saw Alfred Hitchcock. Much better than Sterling, if baseball’s at all relevant in these game threads anymore.
AND here come the Yankees!
I fucking hate you Mariners
In the words of Tom Servo...
...I want to hurt the Mariners, but I can never hurt them more than they’ve hurt me.
just turned the game back on
Watching the Rangers stomp on the Mariners is just as dull as watching primary results slowly trickle in.
The artist formerly known as Katal
Its getting excited! 20,000 vote difference in the last 5 minutes!
I fucking hate you Mariners
I like to watch my primary results in Catholic Churches
K, I’m done
I fucking hate you Mariners
WTF?
Willie Fucking Bloomquist replacing Ichiro!
Now if I only had that “McLaren throwing in the towel” picture saved…
Hamilton again.....
well regardless what happens. it wont go as far as the last one…...Sweet hes out
Geoff Baker:
The good news? Get two grand slams from someone and the M’s will need just one more run to tie things up.
