7/6: Open Game Thread, Part 2

Simple groundball (with Crisp not running out of the box because he didn’t know where it went) to Jeter and the douchebag lauds the great play he just made!

Oh, and Joba is pitching…fuck this.

I fucking hate you Mariners

Felix is awesome

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions

Felix has some nifty shades.

He has better taste in that than cars at least.

by Matthew on Jul 6, 2008 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions

I used to have those shades and then I lost them =(

FUCK BEES

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE EVOLUTIONARY BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO STING AFTER YOU’RE DEAD

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 6:32 PM PDT reply actions

Maybe they're like the Sammael creatures in Hellboy

If they sting you when they die, the stinger can deposit eggs into your skin that will hatch as soon as another bee is killed.

What if Ichiro patrolled Safeco's outfield while riding a Utahraptor?

by Frosty Raptor on Jul 6, 2008 6:40 PM PDT up reply actions

I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 6:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Spiders do this

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions

I thought they just lay their eggs in your mouth while you sleep

Go Nova

HAHA..happened to me too when I was younger.

I fucking hate you Mariners

by kentroyals5 on Jul 6, 2008 6:43 PM PDT up reply actions

I have never been stung before

MY FOOT IS GRADUALLY GOING NUMB

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions

You might want to get that looked at.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm actually kind of enjoying this now

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Poking it with pencils?

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Having one foot that works

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions

How much longer till you get hired by Princeton Plainsbourgh?

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions

I should start fighting the numbness with an addiction

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Have you heard of the new wonder drug? I believe it's called Placebo

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions

What does it cure

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions

You so stole this from an episode of the Dilbert TV series.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions

You caught me

I loved that show

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions

I did, too.

Shame it was picked up by UPN. It would have lived longer on another network.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions

That was the worst network for it

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions

That was the worst network for anything.

UPN was a sitcom graveyard.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions

Thirded.

by Matthew on Jul 6, 2008 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions

Dilbert was awesome.

Cause they are so tasty.

They can be cool if you're creative about it

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Swallow 'em dry.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions

Fuck that

I’m going start free basing them in bathroom stalls

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:07 PM PDT up reply actions

Chop them up and snort them

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions

Why chop them up?

Go straight for Pixie Stix.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Take about 50 miligrams of Benadryl.

by Jed MC on Jul 6, 2008 7:07 PM PDT up reply actions

This man sounds like he is a doctor

Listen to him

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:07 PM PDT up reply actions

Nope, but I'm allergic to bees.

If you are allergic and don’t have an epi-pen, that’s the best thing to do.

by Jed MC on Jul 6, 2008 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions

When I was younger, my doctor made me carry an Epi everywhere.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions

I thought your MC was a MD

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Only a BA.

MC are just initials – I can’t rap either.

by Jed MC on Jul 6, 2008 7:28 PM PDT up reply actions

I missed Burke pitching? Damn.

by Goose on Jul 6, 2008 6:52 PM PDT reply actions

He gave up a wild pitch

but that was overshadowed by him getting Pudge to swing and miss at a “fastball.”

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions

What in the flying fuck?

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 7:02 PM PDT reply actions

I kinda regret zoning out the Mariners this weekend

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions

I only watch in hopes of seeing something awesome/crazy

ala Felix grand slam or Burke pitching.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions

Believe it or not I actually love watching baseball games

Its just that this team is so boring that I can’t help but go off topic.

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions

Boring teams spawn off-topic discussion.

For entertaining baseball, I watch the Rays.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:31 PM PDT up reply actions

I am in the same boat as you

by Corco on Jul 6, 2008 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions

No you aren't

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Evidence to the contrary:

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions

A) Why is Corco in the dark while Robert is getting a tan?

B) Who the fuck gave their baby to Corco?

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 9:01 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't know the answers, I was just hiding in the bushes

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 9:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Queerly a fake

I’m not strong enough to paddle a boat.

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions

The guy behind you is paddling the boat

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 9:06 PM PDT up reply actions

I appear to be completely useless in this scenario

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 9:09 PM PDT up reply actions

At least you've got a nice rack

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Go figure

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2008 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions

You look like a fish

I'm good with kids :(

by Corco on Jul 6, 2008 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions

You need to photoshop Corco into a German car that is powered by minced American flags.

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions

Would you flag that one?

by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 6, 2008 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions

I would

Determined, Jonesing Commentor

by Corco on Jul 6, 2008 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions

depends on the quality

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions

We weren't even out of fucking pitchers.

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Rhodes and Morrow were apparently unavailable.

With Bedard likely to miss a start, Dickey was most likely unavailable too.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:35 PM PDT up reply actions

Silva?

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions

So what's up with Baker lately?

It seems like he’s hardly covering the team.

by BrianL on Jul 6, 2008 7:22 PM PDT reply actions

So Matthew and Graham are no longer overlords...

Jeff wants all the glory.

Go Nova

by dbroncos31 on Jul 6, 2008 7:46 PM PDT reply actions

WTF are you talking about?

by Matthew on Jul 6, 2008 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Maybe it's just my computer,

but on the bottom of the page under “Overlords” there are only Gomez, Jeff, and Devin.

I’d screenshot it but I’m not sure how.

Go Nova

by dbroncos31 on Jul 6, 2008 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions

Doesn't say that for me and I still have all my admin functions, so I think it's a goof on your comp.

by Matthew on Jul 6, 2008 8:07 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh.

Carry on then.

Go Nova

by dbroncos31 on Jul 6, 2008 8:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Why aren't there any goofs like that for me.

by Robert on Jul 6, 2008 8:13 PM PDT up reply actions

Interesting.

In FF it shows all of you, but in IE it doesn’t show you and Graham.

Five-game lead for the Rays

Cinderella's slipper still fits.

by JI on Jul 6, 2008 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions

What interests me more in the standings is the fact that the Giants are just 5 games back of Arizona.

Some small demented part of me wants them to not only win the division, but to ride that Cain and Lincecum to a World Series title. Because how hilarious would that be?
