Washburn: Hey, Lee.
Pelekoudas: You're still here?
Later on, Jarrod takes the field to stretch and passes by Rick Griffin
Washburn: Hey, Rick.
Griffin: Hey, Jarrod.
Washburn: How's it going?
Griffin: Hey wait a minute. You're still here?
After stretching, Jarrod enters the locker room a few steps ahead of Pelekoudas, who's walking and talking with Jim Riggleman
Washburn: Hey, Kenji.
Johjima:

Johjima Extension vs Washburn Non-Trade
Which was dumber?
by great gonzalez on Aug 1, 2008 5:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Johjima extension
Washburn will hurt us this year (strasburg hoooo) and maybe a little of next year.
Johjima is going to leave us with a big pile of dumb catching instead of Clement for the next 3 years.

Which brings up another thing;
Technical ability is one thing, but what about sonic manipulation? There are plenty of people that could play circles around Thurston Moore, but he’s more gifted than anyone alive at getting amazing sounds out of his instruments. And with traditional rock being just about tapped out, it’s going to become even more of an issue going forward.

But Ludwick doesn't walk as much as a Howard or a Dunn. I guess that's what I'm getting at.
Looks like a BB% around 10.8% this year, compared with Howard’s 16.8% last year (when his OBP was high, unlike this year) or Adam Dunn’s 16-18% over the past couple of years. (And McGwire’s insane 20%-or-higher seasons.)

Yeah, I'm expecting some regression. But the guy can crush the ball for sure.
.350 from a dude with his power and glove is awesome. For free.

Even though I once yelled "No one likes you Brian Roberts!
Only stupid kids who don’t know any better would buy a Brian Roberts Jersey!”, I still gotta respect him. Good base stealer, hard out, good fielder.

I've always liked Brian Roberts for some reason.

Yeah I guess
Something to do with leadership and grit I suppose.

Washburn would be HORRIBLE in the Japnese leagues.
All this long fly balls would turn into HRs.

I want Randy to pitch next year so bad because he's still awesome.

With Owings imploding and being sent down, there's a decent chance they'll have a spot for him next year.
We’ll see.

I'm sure they'll let him if he wants to
He has to want to. No injuries, close to 300 wins—I’m optimistic.
I fucking hate you Joel.

Scully after Jones goes 0-2: "Seems like Jones inherits an 0-2 count every time he goes up there."
He promptly strikes out.

Hilarious.
Losers who strike out often like that aren’t allowed on the Mariners, thankfully.

The past week I have watched two things.
Every episode of How I Met Your Mother and a around 25 viewings of Dr. Horrible’s Sing A Long Blog. I have watched way more NPH then a normal person aught to in such a time frame.

How I Met Your Mother is a terrible show dude.

Dude come on
It’s boring, not funny AT ALL, and the only reason it’s still on is that cute redhead.
And Jason Segel is funny in everything but this show, joof.
by Souther on Aug 1, 2008 8:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What cute redhead?
It’s all about Barney and Marshall.

Marshall's girlfriend
Lily or something?

HA, you DO watch the show...
and I was implying that she isn’t cute. Her voice is very annoying.

The only reason it's on is Lily?
How does that even make sense?
