PrintSeattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels, Aug 12, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
The piece of crap we took from the Angels versus the piece of crap we'll take from the Angels. If that doesn't give you enough to talk about, consider that LAnaheim is currently playing nine games over its run differential, and twelve games over its 3rd order record. Life is quirky.

Dave Niehaus interviews the manager. He does a nice job.
The manager explained why he pulled Lopez last night, he gives good interviews. Direct, to the point, doesn’t get into a bunch of extraneous garbage. Oh, and no ‘uh’s’ and ‘um’s’. The last manager drove me nuts with that junk.
Ah, Squinty, I forgot that's his handle around here.
I like that. Riggles, Riggleman, Hargrove, Grover. McClaren, big C, or is it little c? I’ve noticed I’ve taken to just saying ‘the manager’ lately. But Squinty, that’s a nickname that has staying power, old school.
Before my time.
He used to say “averages bear out.” Among other things. All I could think was looking at his professional record as a manager, exactly mediocre. And Hargrove was right, averages bear out.
No idea. Don't have MLB.tv.
I’m in Missoula for a few days. If I miss three games, meh.

I'm sure this won't be the last time I say it.
But given how well the Angels are doing this year we picked an awesome time to throw in the towel.
I have no rational reason to dislike the A's so much.
I like Scioscia, Mickey, I used to daydream about having Garrett Anderson in our ‘99 lineup. Nope, still hate ‘em. Not worth thinking about why, it’s more fun to be irrational about this decision.
So, the Angels are really overachieving...
and they are STILL the best in the West, aren’t they?

What’s different about that red bottle of Rogue? It has me intrigued.
PS: Have you tried Anchor Steam before?
Double dead guy
And yes, fan of anchor steam.
Nice
Trying one right now. It isn’t everything I hoped, but it’s a good, honest, beer.
I bought a six-pack on Sunday.
I was overwhelmed with the choices at the store, and my thought was exactly that: Anchor Steam is a good, safe choice. So I got that and some Oaked Arrogant Bastard, knowing that I would enjoy at least one of them.
I like the Oaked Arrogant Bastard a lot, but I have to say I was expecting more out of it.
I had a Hemp Porter tonight. It was…interesting. Montana seems to have a crapload of breweries I’ve never heard of.

It was hot out and I spent most of the day in the pool.
Oaked Arrogant Bastard was probably not a good choice. I have some left over so I can give its proper taste-test.
It tasted a lot like regular Arrogant Bastard to me.

I'm new to the world of good beer, so I wasn't sure if I was missing something,
but yeah, it just tasted like Arrogant Bastard to me. Which isn’t a bad thing.
Lol, just a spectator.
In the upper mid-west it’s always Miller, in the west it’s always Coors, in the south it’s always Bud. Weird. Just something I’ve noticed.
Well, I just never really drank beer. I've been a gin guy for years.
The last time I drank beer regularly was in college, when I had yet to learn that 30 cans of Busch Light is not a good value, no matter the price.
On the t.v.? Mute that mo' fo' and go to the radio!
Unless you can’t get along with Simms. And I’m not talking about announcers anymore, it’s been overdone.
He reminds me of Al Martin. Yeesh, goosebumps!
If Martin’s eyes had been any further apart he’d be a hammerhead shark.
My understanding is he's coming from East Coast football.
Nice veteran adjustment. Keeps a nice flow going in the booth.

Kind of a strange oversight, throwing in the towel is contagious? Maybe everybody is tired after last nights media debacle.

If things go really, really, really bad you can boot to a DOS shell off of a floppy disk.
From there you can run the old format and fdisk commands.

What happened to the rule of thumb about the 3rd out?
Never make 1st or 3rd out at third base or home plate! M’s been doing this all year. >: (
It's just one of those old baseball sayings.
Pretty much covers everything. Probably playing on not giving the next batter a chance to do something. Like keep the inning going. I’m being retarded, will be quiet now.
the saying was 1st or 3rd out at third.
It never mentions home.
I'm having Red in the booth flashbacks. I think I've heard it both ways.
Not that it matters, kind of applies to just being in scoring position on a single. Unless I’ve always misunderstood the principle behind the thing.
"Just once I want to see an infielder let an infield fly drop."
“They might be able to catch a runner napping.”
He had some classics.
If he could just let it drop right there, having experienced him for years, he probably talked about infield fielding for the next 45 minutes.

I'm confused.
Someone is telling me that Jarrod Washburn gave up two home runs in the fifth inning, but only allowed one earned run. By giving up two home runs, shouldn’t he at least be charged with two earned runs?
My favorite is when the pitcher commits the error, and the runs don't count against him.
It’s just never made sense to me.
Gameday agrees, only one earned run.
Earned runs are stupid.

The righteous come and bleed you from the bone
It’s all they ever wanted from your soul
The hating and intentions are no more
And it’s all you’ll ever get if you let go

Defenestration
Hopefully a cold wind will cushion my fall – but that wouldn’t be what you wanted.
I know you like to think of yourself as some sort of 666 conducer, Jeff, but all you do is talk.

You know, that's the first Seahawks gameday as well.
What a great day that will be. I think I’ll take the following Monday off work just in case I need to recover from awesome-overload.

I got trapped at their god forsaken airport
for twelve hours thanks to a delayed flight.
I was stuck in Denver in 14 hours because it was snowing.
They were ill-prepared for snow… in Denver…
That is a noodle scratcher
Denver not prepared for snow? That’s like Miami not being ready for a hurricane….ohhhhh
The M's are a good bet to

Why haven’t you left yet?
It's hard to force humor when you haven't cared for three months
But you wouldn’t understand that, because the cosmic joke is that the Angels are always light years ahead of us.

Yeah, tRA is all over the place.
Meanwhile, people joking about baseball? Needle in a haystack.

If only I could have gone to Brown or Dartmouth…
Those are real schools now?
I thought they were made up for movies.

"schools"
I like how at Brown you get to take whatever you want pass/fail, including core classes. I had a hard time keeping my mouth shut at your garden party.
What girls.
I bet they even have double glazing and heating there too. They’re a bunch of a gays.

pffft. You cannot wear black gloves before Labor Day.
Learn your garden party etiquette.
More like it
but the color scheme is more suited to the 19th century. We try to be more dapper these days.
Even better with the heart.
