EPIC

Its odd that the team would still lie about players being injured to cover up their suckage

Now that Bavasi is gone, why don’t they just blame him for them sucking?

New special .gif

It is massive so for the sake of those of you with slower connections I will link it rather than post it.

ahahahaha

That is fantastic.

The first few seconds could be useful alone.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball.

He's like a far less intimidating Henry Rollins or something.

I like.

God, the surge of high quality .GIFS (most involving Raul) is one of the great highlights of this shitty season.

It sort of makes me realize how much we’ll miss Raul when he’s gone. I love the guy, he’s a human highlight reel in his own unwitting way.

Bwhahahaha.

Wow

That is massive. Took forever to load on my fast company connection too.

Hilarious though, egghead gone crazy.

I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

YES

Best Raul moment ever.

I was at this game, (sort of) unfortunately.

In the 3rd inning, I got all the drunken frat assholes in my section to start up a “Let’s go Tits” chant. I think only a couple of them got why, but all of them joined in wholeheartedly.

That was the only thing at the game to go well. Well, that and the extremely hot pair in front of me that kept leaning back to stretch, danced to all the music, and heckled back and forth with me the whole game. It was worth the glares from the GF.

Hey, what happened to Eric's fanpost about Felix?

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Batista throws Bedard under the bus...wahooooooo, its like a soap opera

Per Rotoworld:

“I have to make sure I get myself healthy before I go out there again, because I’m the only guy trying to pitch through it… Everybody else, every time they feel pain, they go on the DL, or they take a rest, and I haven’t he said

Awww, poor baby.

It sure must be hard, going out there and sucking it up, instead of getting healthy and maybe (I know, a long shot) pitching good enough to not drop 8 over 4IP.

I just love the quote...just shows the animosity and division in the clubhouse.

It’s not really all that subtle either. Bedard just got served.

Bedard didn't get served.

Tits just made himself look like a moron and an asshole.

I think it serves two purposes...he looks stupid and at the same time calls out Bedard

I don’t think I’m reading too far into his comments.

I fucking hate you Mariners

Well he is...but at the same time didn't need to say:

“Everybody else, every time they feel pain they go on the DL, or they take a rest, and I haven’t…”

With the media all over Bedard and his pitch counts (which I don’t buy) and coming out of like 3 games now due to injury, it’s an obvious jab at Bedard.

I don't really think that's what he meant

Because he wasn’t saying he was toughing it out and still doing well, he was saying he was toughing it out and that’s why his performance has been terrible. Calling out other pitchers for not playing through injury would only make sense if he was actually doing well while playing through injury himself, which he’s not (and he acknowledges he’s not) he’s been the worst pitcher on the team, so I think he’s just calling himself stupid for continuing to go out there with injury problems.

by OlSalty on Jun 26, 2008 1:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I just think he's defending his shitty outtings by saying at least he's trying to work through his injury/injuries

Unlike others on the team….which is where Bedard gets labeled.
