Have you seen everything up and including Season 5 already?

If so, then you’re caught up.

It’s not bad at all. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Oh god please no. Reid Brignac would be sweet.

But as I said, I doubt the Rays would be willing to give up a chip that sweet.

Are you kidding? Jackson has some sort of an upside

I expect our GM to get something much much worse

by Fuzz on Aug 13, 2008 8:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Until Jackson learns to strike people out again, his only predictable upside is as a pinata.

I'm nearly certain it isn't.

First of all, I doubt Raul really has been snagged on a waiver claim by the Rays. Even if so, I doubt the Rays can give us enough to justify letting the two draft picks go. Raul is Type A for sure.

by Fuzz on Aug 13, 2008 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Any team.

Think about it, at worst they claim him and the Ms say fine, take him. You owe him a little over a mil and in the end you get two comp picks for it. You don’t even have to play him and that’s a trade ($$ for picks) you make every time.

by Matthew on Aug 13, 2008 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I know that any team can claim him

But if you look at the grand scheme of things, only a handful of teams would be smart to even attempt to. The Sox for obvious reasons as that’s what they did with Giles, Yankees would because they think they’re still in it and have been decimated by injuries, same story for the Rays if he got that far

by Fuzz on Aug 13, 2008 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ok then

If you’re a bad team, why would you just ease the suffering by adding a player who might hit only 5th or 6th as mentioned before. yes it would be a dick move for somebody else to claim him because they have nothing to lose, but if everything was logical and teams were smart, the only people who would go and claim him would be contenders who need that extra little bit to get to the playoffs

I was raised a Brewers fan, but Selig has made me stop.

My grandfather used to manage/catch for a bush league team in Fruitland, Idaho way back when. Harmon Killebrew played on his team when he was a teenager, then went on to greatness. Selig… my scorn is too great.

That Killebrew story is awesome.

I wish I could go back in time and see the greats from the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s play in order to compare them to present day stars.

Please note that I did not say 70’s. Fuck the 70’s. Too much Joe Morgan.

Ha ha Joe! Too much Yankme's in the 70's.

He gave me a ball signed by Harmon, and Satchel Paige who came through town on a barnstorming tour. He said you couldn’t see the ball after Satchel threw it, you just heard a ziiiiip, and then your hand went numb. About 20 other sigs. from players on the team, but only local farm kids.

Satchel Paige

Is very high on the list of guys I would have loved to see play. There are great stories about that guy. The only signed objects I have that are near and dear to me are a Johnny Bench jersey and a Mariners helmet signed by the entire 1993 team.

Wow! Talk about memorabilia! Johnny Bench is one of my favorites.

I took that baseball to a second grade show and tell. My teacher put it in a drawer in his desk for safe keeping. And later told me it had been stolen. I still think about going back and kicking his ass, but he’s about 80 now. Hopefully with lung cancer and hemorrhoids.

I'm beyond humor at this point. Really.

Might as well bring them up, I don’t even know if Fields has signed yet, but what the hell, let them see the life they could have if they make it. Then again, maybe keeping them as far away from this team as possible is a better idea.

Sub audible. You guys need to be more PC around here.

Kidding, but I have these horrible kneejerk reactions to bust out some off color humor that I’ve seen from other people, but would probably not be tolerated from me.

Are you not familiar with the "BJ Upton is lazy" meme?

It’s been raging like a brushfire here on LL recently.

Totally!! Some funny shit, that one about the instructions on his box of food killed me.

I counterpoint it with stupid shit like ‘conservation of motion’. What I really want to say is, ‘Get off my porch. Monkey.’ But I’ve watched ‘Blazing Saddles’ waaaayy to many times. ‘Mash’ the movie also.

REC'D FOR ACCURACY.

But you know what? We need a new version of this. Tits is not long for this world. Which player is the best candidate to have Joel/Mike & the Bots superimposed over him?

Gotta be Silva, right?

Also, that was more of a Holy Fuck that was a good hit more than Fuck we’re gonna lose.

Can we send Washburn in to close?

Just for old time’s sake? Maybe he can walk the bases full then give up a tater as a parting gift.

Wlad showed a lot of grit fighting through a rough night there eh?

Way too big and unwhite.

But he plays whatever position the team asks.

CF, RF, DH, bad first name speller, etc.

Somebody find a good picture of Silva looking downcast on the mound after another massive failure

We need a new MST3K picture.

Biggest reason to hate him?

Id have to go with the fact he gets 50 million dollars while Felix got lowballed.

That or the fact that Silva has very similar features to Judge Elizabeth Halverson.

Its a toss up.

Game's over, so...

Kettlehouse Brewing Cold Smoke Scotch Ale is the best Scoth Ale I have ever had. McEwan’s Belhaven, Oskar Blues, blah blah blah…seriously. It’s amazing.

Had that bottled up for a few innings?

Somebody in an off topic thread I missed was asking about a hoppy IPA, I wanted to recommend Big Time Brewery Scarlett Fire.

by dpseadv on Aug 13, 2008 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tried that Speakeasy last week.

My search to replace Grant’s Sottish Ale will never cease.

by dpseadv on Aug 13, 2008 10:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Those are pretty different.

Try Belhaven Wee Heavy, though

by acblue on Aug 13, 2008 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

For a Scottish Ale, Grant's was all hops, but finished pretty light.

Best finish I’ve ever tasted off an ale, not so much the bitter that follows the hop flavor. Closest I’ve come to finding a close approximation are the IPA’s.

by dpseadv on Aug 13, 2008 10:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That sounds delicious, but not what I expect from a Scotch Ale.

I want malt, hops, smoke, malt from a Scotch Ale.

It was unique, but maybe I'm biased since it was my first micro brew.

Back in ‘92 everybody (underage) in Yakima was drinking Keystone Light, $3.69 a 12 pack. People would bum beers like crazy, so I started drinking Grant’s, like the 3rd micro brew in the state, located right there in town. Everybody hated it, I acquired a taste for microbrews… I could seriously padded a 401k with the money…

by dpseadv on Aug 13, 2008 11:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Eeek Keystone Light is the good stuff

For shotguns and beer pong anyway…

In Pullman (WSU) Busch Light is the “Pullman Water”

Ha! No kidding, but that bar on the corner downtown had some good selection.

Can’t remember the name of it, I rented a studio on Oak St from the guy that owns it. My whole crowd should have probably started our own AA group. Not like there’s anything else to do there except ski. Oh, and study.
