Another shutout in the works.

The awesomeness of the brawl has already worn off.

this was fucking awesome

I was in the other room and i heard it, so I rewound and see a pitch not perticularly inside, but high…and Richie go full on hard jog at Gabbo. Throwing the helmet was fucking epic.

On further review, yeah the pitch wasn't even close to his head.

However, Richie just shed some of his pansy reputation by actually doing something.

And Felix looks like he wants whip some ass.

for a severe back injury….

I think becasue Gabbard got re injured, Sexson is going to get hung out to dry by the league office.

He did that last year with Doug Davis on the mound.

Chris Snyder(who apparently is really good at various martial arts) was right on his ass ready to kill him when he started towards the mound. The look of confusion on his face when Batista turned to 1st was one of the funniest moments of the season.

Dont forget,,,,

The M’s play Texas next week in Texas. I know Padilla starts in one game, and he doesnt care about hit batsmen. Another game i think is TBD, which means Texas could bring up Nippert and his 97mph fastball as a spot start,

Im more concerned with retalation than anything. A broken hand for Ichiro or Beltre would absolutely bury the rest of this season.

And on a side note, why would have Gabbard thrown at Sexson when he could have thrown at 2 better players earlier that inning?

Looked like he really wanted

To let some frustration out. But that was really unlike Richie, who has a rep for getting along with everyone.

Rotoworld
Felix Hernandez had hit two batters, so Sexson sensed it was retaliatory when Gabbard buzzed him in the fourth, even if the pitch wasn’t all that close to hitting him.

so, sexson was objectively being a dumbass

OMG HELMOCAUST

OK . . .

I’m not watching the game – just saw the replay on gameday. From the description, I didn’t realize that Sexson was that close when he threw the helmet and hit Gabbard so squarely. That could draw an unprecedented suspension, maybe 20-50 games. I’ve never seen anything like that in the majors.

Speaking of beer, I am so stoked

Whole Foods generally has a good selection of Belgian beer.

I just read a book that made me quite scared of a lot of the food out there, so I’m kinda trying to spend a little more on better stuff. I figure I can cut it out of somewhere else (like my ridiculous video game budget, perhaps?)

I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of Pike Market

Either I post, say, five links and you say “that’s only five links,” or I post 100 links after spending the whole night making myself dumber.

I don’t read LSB comment threads very often anymore. I used to, because I like Adam and I like his site, but between the ceaseless stream of +1’s and…just…really, really stupid comments, I stick to the front page. And I’m a happier person because of it.

yeah, if you have a problem with +1’s, LSB is guilty as charged.
But you’re making it sound like we’re a haven for racists and assholes and that’s not true.

And I really would like to see what you consider stupid. I guarantee you for every stupid comment we have, there is someone calling the guy out on it.

Here’s my point, and I’ll be straight up about it: there are stupid people everywhere. There are stupid people here. There are stupid people at my job. There are stupid people at Harvard. But the ratio of stupid to non-stupid on LSB seems – to me – to be overwhelmingly large. And I don’t understand it, because Adam rocks, and there are a handful of LSB users who rock, and I don’t get when and why they got surrounded by what they did.

Well...

you make a post calling the community out, basically (I’m thinking of the “Attention LSB” post), and then ban people that respond to you. It just seems a little … inappropriate, especially considering the gangly freakshow y’all call a first baseman had just injured our pitcher.

You then, further down in this thread, you ask me to admit that, and I forget the exact words you used, the LSB community is douchey or whatever. I don’t know, that just strikes me as wrong.

I mean, looking through this gameday thread, we’ve got post after post after post about how stupid Texans are, la la la. And yet somehow we’re the bigots.

douchey was a paraphrase.

Either way, I read just the front page, here, too. I don’t think it’s necessarily because your community is retarded (or whatever), it’s because I’ve interacted with you online for a while and find your writing funny. But I don’t get your community’s in-jokes, and don’t find them particularly funny.

But I wouldn’t go over to LSB and post that LL is a bunch of douchebags. I’ve linked your posts before, because I think they’re good and worth reading.

I suppose it’s really just a matter of personal taste, but I feel pretty strongly about this one. I really can’t stand that community. For me, he bad smothers the good.

LL might be just as bad. I don’t know, I’m biased and incapable of seeing what this place looks like to an outsider. But even if this place sucks, I remain convinced that LSB’s comment threads suck, too.

Still, it's got to bring you down a little bit.

I liked Ender’s Game until I was old enough to figure out what it was actually about, though. But on the whole, you guys are alright. The people who practice the denomination of Christianity that I was raised with could learn a thing or two from you re: how to treat people that disagree with them.

That book sucked balls...

I mean, doesn’t Orson Scott Card get tired of Messianic themes? I heard they’re making a movie out of it, and that’s going to suck balls, too. I’ll watch it, the same as I’ve read Ender’s Game 400 times, but I’ll hate every second of it.

What did Lord Byron say of Percy Shelley in the Summer of 1823?

Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
I knocked up his wife,
but don’t worry, I gave her a [COATHANGER]

it seems like these boards are about the same. there’s a few guys who say outrageous things and people just laugh it off as a guy being drunk. except on our board, we actually get mad at the guy too

Depends, Texas is a big place

There are great swaths of Texas that rival Burma in their shittiness.

I lived in TX for about a year while in the Army – there were plenty of cool places to go with a 2-4 hour drive, but if you were to throw a dart at a map of the state you’re more likely to find a place where black people aren’t welcome after sundown than you are Matthew McConahey’s bongo sweatlodge.
