This organization deserves everything that happens to it.

Have fun working out at first, Jeremy.

McLaren said Yuni made the decision to bunt on his own

...At least on the 3-2 count.

They’ve been trained to do stupid things so well, they don’t even have to be told to do them anymore.

McLaren's version of "on his own":

“Now listen Yuni, we got two runners on and a chance to make things happen. I’m not going to tell you to bunt, but it’d be real swell if you did. Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not telling you to bunt, I’m just saying you might lose playing time if you don’t. Now go up there and swing the bat-or don’t swing it, you know, your choice-and make me proud.”

Also, why would you bunt in that situation with Yuni?

There’s nobody out, and runners on first and second. Assuming he gets it down, there’s one out and runners on second and third. Obviously they’d intentionally walk Ichiro to take the bat out of his hands.

Nice analogy.

NOLA came off the bench and hit three homers

it’s was like when the Tony LaRaussa says “fuck it, everybody has the day off today and So Taguchi is hitting third” and they win anyway.

And then returned peacefully to the bench.

Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I know baseball. Yes, I even drink beer.

Oh God...

I guess I wasn’t paying attention at that point. Did he get the bunt down or just strike out?

by DAMellen on Jun 15, 2008 12:32 PM PDT   0 recs

I am here.

Sober.

Still bad to the bone, though.

Fuck giving Washburn run support.

Only Felix deserves that.

by BrianL on Jun 15, 2008 1:01 PM PDT   0 recs

Jarrod Washburn has been pitching well recently?

Last 2 starts: 11.1 IP, 6 BB, 8 K, 3.97 ERA, 1.76 WHIP, .292 BAA

Let's go Nationals!

Sweep the hated Mariners! Finish off this bitter interleague Washington-Washington rivalry! WOO!

[As explained in last night’s game thread, as a Nats AND M’s fan, I’m conflicted…I even have a hard time saying which team takes precedence, given that I’ve followed the M’s since 1995, but I’m a DC native who’s proud as fuck that we finally have a team again. I choose to root for the Nats on the logic that they’re already building intelligently towards the future and have a competent FO/GM/scouting group (Kasten/Bowden/Rizzo), thus they don’t need the Strasburg help that the M’s need.]

Oh, Willie is playing SS....

Is Yuni riding the pine for being such an incredible moron yesterday?

by OlSalty on Jun 15, 2008 1:12 PM PDT   0 recs

I'm pretty certain that he was not bunting 3-0 and 3-1 on his own

in which case he is being punished for not succeeding in following the moronic orders of his manager

CHARGE THE MOUND DUKES!

Don’t put up with that shit from D.W. Washburn!

by esoteric on Jun 15, 2008 1:13 PM PDT   0 recs

I hope wash does get charged someday.

Shave and a haircut two ti- hey hold on.

My assumption is that the Water Temple is a dual-time thingummybob like in Zelda: Oracle of Ages...

...and that this is the trick to figuring out WTF to do. Am I right, am I wrong?

by esoteric on Jun 15, 2008 1:18 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

You are right.

I don’t remember too much about the fire temple, it’s fairly big, and some backtracking might be required. I think that there may be some things to pull at the beginning as well?

Water Temple is the most frustrating/satisfying temple ever.

All's I know is that it took me like three straight hours to get through the Forest Temple

In between falling off of high ledges (whilst trying to snag Gold Skulltulas) and forgetting about the various twisty corridors and getting pwned by Wall Masters, it was ugly. So far the Fire Temple is pretty pleasant.

by esoteric on Jun 15, 2008 1:22 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Actually, the Lost Woods song is the shit.

Whatever its real name is, your elfin sage buddy’s song, I can’t remember her name right now because I’m already drinking. But that song is the bomb.

by esoteric on Jun 15, 2008 1:24 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

My favorite is the Song of Storms.

Gerudo Valley and Saria’s Song are up there, though.

by Slica on Jun 15, 2008 1:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha

We seem to think alike. I hope thats a good thing.

by Slica on Jun 15, 2008 1:20 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's not that it's confusing

Just really, really tedious

My friend actually learned how to play the Ocarina

I pretend I don’t know him when I go out into society

by JLC on Jun 15, 2008 1:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I know some of them on the guitar.

I can DESTROY the Gerudo Valley theme, which sounds badass on the electric.
