Oh yeah, a game.

I almost forgot it was Dickey time.

Umm... Okay?

What’s wrong with Beltre?

Riggleman said he was giving Beltre the day off.

DFR's 21st

I was looking up Dennis Freakin’ Raben’s stats and noticed that he turns 21 today. I’ll bet he doesn’t hit so good tomorrow.

Enjoy yourself Dennis!

...hope to see you in Peoria next April, if not up for a cup-o-joe this September.

Is that right?

Does Matt Harrison really only have 2K’s in 19+ innings???

Neat.

Jim Edmonds is making me happy today.

Hello Raul.

Looks like you will provide us with two draft picks.

by BrianL on Jul 31, 2008 5:11 PM PDT reply actions  

Cairo, you ain't no Bloomquist.

seriously, look at that LF D… amazing.

by mark sobba on Jul 31, 2008 5:24 PM PDT reply actions  

So 16.5 straight hours of data entry for me.

I am so fricking tired I can’t even bring myself to load up mlb.tv. 1.5 more hours before I can get some blessed sleep.

Yeah.

Tracking shipping and recieving for an oil rig. Today is my last day of the hitch. I had been working midnight to noon, but I am working 18 hours today instead of getting up at midnight to work like 4.5 hours before I get on the plane.

by thewyrm on Jul 31, 2008 5:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

Chip Caray is a goddanmed fool

there shouldn’t be a minimum payroll.

Investing money in player development or signing draft picks is much more worthwhile than signing middling free agents.

I fucking hate you Joel.

by JI on Jul 31, 2008 5:29 PM PDT reply actions  

Agreed, for the most part.

But the Marlins’ spending less than what they get just from revenue-sharing is irritating.

by Teej on Jul 31, 2008 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Vazguez...

Is there a better fielder in the majors?

by Schuxu on Jul 31, 2008 5:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Ok Ok

You are prop. both right.
Although Vazquez this series > Kata last time

by Schuxu on Jul 31, 2008 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Nonsense.

We have a goal and is has nothing to do with winning games

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

by wadswerth on Jul 31, 2008 5:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Obviously the Mariners care about winning!

Otherwise why would they keep greats like Ibanez and Washburn and trade propsects like Rhodes?

"Hole in one, eh?"

by Coach Owens on Jul 31, 2008 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh fucking balls

I just realized that Griffey to the White Soc means that, when the ChiSox come to town in a few weeks, that Junior will indeed make another triumphant, overblown return to Safeco Field.

Maybe we can call up Ryan Feierabend in time for the series so he can get booed out of the building again for doing his job.

by Gomez on Jul 31, 2008 5:47 PM PDT reply actions  

I checked that as soon as I heard about the trade

White Sox’s do not play at SafeCo again this year.

Is that what makes him so popular? I didn’t realize!

"Hole in one, eh?"

by Coach Owens on Jul 31, 2008 6:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's not being cruel to you, and he never has been.

He’s being snippy, and you’re going to have to get used to people being snippy to you unless you want to be miserable your whole life. You don’t have to like it, but you can’t let it bug you as much as it does.

FanShots are underrated.

by Aaron Campeau on Jul 31, 2008 6:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

He insults me and then threatens to ban

me when I fight back? Oh yeah, that’s not cruel.

"Hole in one, eh?"

by Coach Owens on Jul 31, 2008 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's because you take things way too seriously.

Graham isn’t cruel to you. He’s just Graham. You’ve seen him when he’s cruel to people (that deserve it) and it’s way, way worse than what you get.

FanShots are underrated.

What's a good heckle for a player that wears stirrups?

There’s an asshole on an independent league player that hit on my GF over and over despite her yelling at him. I’ve been heckling him ever since, and he started wearing stirrups.

I’ve done “The 1800s called and they want their stirrups back.” and variations of horse jokes (which works on two levels because he looks like a horse). They’re really affecting him, as he hasn’t gotten a hit on any games I’ve gone to, but otherwise hits 300. I just need some new lines to keep it up for the rest of the season.

by Faux on Jul 31, 2008 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

I really like "Hey Dontrelle"

he might not get it, but doesn’t this make it even funnier?

by Schuxu on Jul 31, 2008 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

Small white catcher != large black pitcher.

It wouldn’t really work, especially in the NY area. No one knows that DW wears stirrups. They barely know anything outside of the names of their favorite Yankees.

by Faux on Jul 31, 2008 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

that would help things... Silva getting a relief start.

It would show the Nationals that we want to be dead last! Those bastards.

by mark sobba on Jul 31, 2008 6:56 PM PDT reply actions  

This has to be the most boring team ever

8/18 of our lineup is just depressing

I had Ten Fidy for the first time the other night. Man.

But yeah, I’m with you on trying new stuff. I occasionally love beers that aren’t especially well regarded by others, and really, what’s the harm? Even if it’s underwhelming, it’s still beer.

FanShots are underrated.

I only got two bottles, so I'm hesitant to drink the last one.

You’re right—I feel so classy and refined having it in my fridge.

My favorite part is the label that looks like it was created on my home printer. No bar code, no fine print, no nothing.

by Teej on Jul 31, 2008 7:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

But seriously, where would they be looking to spend?

Beckett/Matsuzaka/Lester/Buchholz/Masterson would be fine, but I guess they’ll probably throw some money at one of the starters.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 31, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

No catchers to spend money on

I could see them targeting Sabathia and Furcal.

Oh, Dave

Another one of his classic ‘Uh… that ball… uh… oh it’s gonna FLY AWAY!’ calls

Is Dickey doing what I think he’s doing, and outpitching the Three Amigos of Suck in our rotation?

These are some of the biggest crackers in the world and they probably couldn’t pick Roger Troutman out of a lineup.
