6/14: Open Game Thread
Washington Nationals @ Seattle Mariners
Look at this. Look at this. Sweet Zombie Jesus Bedard ought to throw at least like four no-hitters before the end of the night.

I’m sitting 28 rows back on the first base side of the infield, so it’s really more for protection than anything, but I don’t want to look dumb.

As the lone dual M's/Nats fan (not just on this blog, I mean EVER), I've decided I want to see the Nats pummel the M's
Why? Because the M’s need Strasburg more than the Nats ever could. The Nats actually have some hope for the future right now. The M’s…not so much as long as Bavasi and Armstrong are still in charge.

No shit, you're serious?
I didn’t think it was possible. Born and raised in DC, started rooting for the M’s in 1995 because we didn’t have a team and I thought it would be cute to pay attention to the “other” Washington. Then the Nats came to town. And then I moved to the middle of the country, of course, rendering my chosen fan affiliations incomprehensible to most people.

I basically stopped playing new consoles after SNES...

But my buddy just lent me his Gamecube after hearing that I loved the Zelda series (I have all the 2D games) but had never played Ocarina of Time. He’s right…holy shit I was missing out. Though I really do miss the ability to cheat at will.

We go too far the other way, to be fair.
Beltre’s awful performance with RISP isn’t something to be disregarded completely as statistical ‘noise’ – Alfonso Soriano is a classic example of a player who simply chokes like a dog with RISP in a statistically significant way – but the moron fans overdo it, of course.

True, although...
The one fact that seems to be ignored is that’s the first time he’s done that throughout his career. I’m pretty sure he’s had RISP numbers mirroring his regular numbers in 2004-2007. Fluke fluke fluke (trying to do too much because the rest of the team sucks).

Beltre is just plain having a mysterious season.
His LD rate is way higher than his monster 2004 campaign, but his BABIP and BA/RISP are no where near his career norms. It just defies logic.

You know what's funny? I've basically come to identify you with your Garza avatar.
In my mind, you look like him in real life. (Especially assuming that “Gomez” isn’t named after the crappy band, but is rather your real surname.) It’s kind of disturbing, because Garza looks so goddamned high in that picture.

Beltre is unclutch!
There was no one on base when he hit that! Why doesn’t he let people get on base before he hits his homeruns. Beltre is bad. Lets trade him and the rest of our good players to the dodgers for bad players.

It actually was not meant at all to be sexual
It’s actually about a crush he had on a girl who had a peach tree in her front yard, and he wanted to talk to her but whenever he wanted to he would hesitate and proceed to squash peaches in his fist to blow off some steam.
I grew up with their first album (I was born in ‘94), and that was the only album I listened to until now. They’re really really great. Still.
