PrintListen live at 1:05. Here are your lineups. I can't believe I used to think Dayton Moore was smart.
By the way, apparently Wakamatsu has been reasonably impressed by the work of Shawn Kelley so far, so there's another name to keep in mind as far as the bullpen mess is concerned. He's not going to break camp with the Mariners, but as a reliever blessed with control and good stuff, he could jump up awful quick. Kind of like Mark Lowe, only without the oh my god my cartilage my cartilage really hurts

I hate this non-broadcasting of games.
the KC station’s feed has switched to Fox radio rather than stream the game.
Didn't KIRO used to broadcast most of the ST games as recently as last year?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Radio only, I think
I’m not sure all ST games have really ever been broadcast – it’s typically one or two a week. Maybe they aren’t spending the money because a lot of the big name players are at the WBC.

KOMO had worked up to broadcasting almost every one, so I have been spoiled.
KIRO is pretty much just doing the weekends, I assume because they are not a full-time sports station yet.
Apparently they feel someone wants to listen to Dori.
I'm sure his mother loves him and wants to hear his voice

I hate how every opposing announcer
has to mention that Tuiasasopo is a big name in Seattle.
Do people really still give two shits about that family?
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I guess not going to college in Washington
has made me not care as much about them.
Now my undying rage for the Huard’s will never end.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Speaking of the dynasty
there is a video up on the Softball site with Ashley (freshman, Softball), which includes side-by-side shots of her swing with Pujols’
"We haven't heard a bad thing about him yet"
The Royals announcer on Willie Bloomquist.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Left unsaid:
we haven’t heard much good about him.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Actually I think he explicitly said
that he’s lived up to all the good things said about him so far.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I like the Spork moniker for Willie
He is to baseball what the spork is to cutlery.
"We are a bad defensive team." -B. Cashman
"I thought he was a bargain for the Royals"
Rick Rizzs on Gil Meche’s contract.
“He’s a guy you can build around, he has great stuff.”
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
To be fair
He does have great stuff…he just hasn’t put it all together for great results yet. I think he might still. He’s just kind of a head case….but with Greinke in KC I guess he can probably shake the “head case” label.

So, wait....
Is there an actual listen link that doesn’t make me pay for it? Am I blind?…
the offseason sucks
MLB loves money.
I will smash your face into a jelly.

Probably.
I can’t stream audio at work so I’m just sitting here hoping Arsenal/Roma doesn’t go to penalties. I hate penalties.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Eh, Arsenal has no English players on the pitch.
They should be fine in penalties.
Penalties terrify me
Ever since Bergkamp’s miss in the 1999 FA Cup against Man Utd I pretty much can’t watch penalties.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I expect the worst from penalties, and usually receive exactly that.
Given recent history, I’m a little bitter.
The one GOOD memory from PKs = Seattle’s first A league crown a few years back. Good stuff.
I'm glad my team have never had penalties in the CL

it feels more like an avoidance of a loss than an actual win at this point
but I’ll take it.

The national team should stop playing in Spurs colours if they want to stop being terrible
by Graham MacAree on Mar 11, 2009 2:01 PM PDT up reply actions
They tried playing in Man U colors
and the only result was that Man U couldn’t make PKs either.
Quit talking about soccer

So, uh, did the game stop or something?
Box score hasn’t updated in quite a while.
This is actually crazy.
Why would I watch Transformers when I can play with them at my house?

You know Rizzs
I don’t think that Griffey is really smiling that much these days.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
his pained grimace looks like a smile so that's something I guess
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
It is weird that this is the Royals broadcast
and they’ve talked more about the M’s.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Well, you have to consider this question:
Who really wants to talk about the Royals?

Matthew only likes to talk about the Angels.
Further showcasing his obvious bias.

The Royals appear to love the M's. In the worst way possible.

Jokes are almost always better when you explain them immediately after saying the punchline
by JI on Mar 11, 2009 1:48 PM PDT up reply actions
Really?
I always thought that the mark of a bad joke was having to explain it to other people.
Shows what I know.

Hint: I was being sarcastic here; that's why it's funny
I was saying something that was exactly the opposite of what I actually think!

it's like you're lying but in a humorous way
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Oh, so when used for humorous effect, lying is no longer sinful,
but in fact inhances mirth

I was hoping for some sort of flowchart or diagram but words will have to suffice

Correction:
Jokes are sometimes funnier when you explain the punchline but only when said punchline is incredibly foul and you wait for a few seconds after the audience quits laughing.
by JI on Mar 11, 2009 1:56 PM PDT up reply actions
the best example of an explained joke being funnier ever?
“the hammer is my penis”.

I have a diagram ready to go, but I don't know how to upload it, since it's only saved to my computer.

It’s not murderer’s row, but it’s not a split squad, either.
Not anymore.....

Gameday:
I saw that a Royal hit an ITP HR to right field and instantly knew Morse was playing today.
Were the 4 balls that the royals hit the RF balls that should've been caught but MIke Morse sucked and didn't get to them?
You got slurved bitch.
Amazingly only one word needs to be changed for this question to make total sense.
Can you guess which word it is?
Sucked?
It should’ve read: Were the 4 balls that the royals hit TO right field balls that should’ve been caught but Mike Morse sucked and didn’t get to them?
You got slurved bitch.
I was just teasing
because I read the question about 4 times trying to figure out what the heck you were asking? Then I realized it was just one little word away from making total sense and was sort of amazed.
I agree that Timmy needs a less... um... retarded... nickname
But I’m not sure I can get behind calling him “Man Lincecum”.
You should get a Giants jersey with TT Fizzlepants on the back.

Apparently GameDay just exploded on Mike Wilson’s position. I think it’s safe to assume he’s actually in the outfield and not linebackering up shortstop
