3/4: Open Game Thread

PrintMariners vs. Australia. Watch live at 6:05. The starting lineup for the M's looks pretty solid, save for one glaring embarrassment. Find him!
Meanwhile, just in case you were having a good day, here's some shitty news.
Speaking of which, former M Chris Snelling is with the National team. He snuck into the M's clubhouse late Saturday and to me, it looked like he had put on a lot of weight. Could have been the workout clothes, basketball shorts and big tee shirts, but first impression wasn't good. Hope I am wrong.
Like Snelling really needs to be putting more stress on his knees.

Alright time to test out the new laptop
Bought this so i could work at watch M’s games at the same time
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
I'm so excited for this
I think I may start hyperventilating….
I heard the song, too – it may actually contribute to the hyperventilation, but not in that good way…
It's the economy, Manny!
Yipee kay yo. Yipee kay yay.

It's been a while since I did my "LL + MLB.tv + Gmail chat window" formation on my laptop.
It felt good to do it again. Let’s go Mariners!
Actually, replace Morse with Ichiro and I think this could be a typical lineup
Maybe cut out Yuni and add Lopez
Doyle should have worked out with Raul
I still hope he succeeds.

I remember calling all my friends up 4 innings into Blackley 1st start

I am so used to seeing an old white man manage the M's...
It’s disconcerting to see a younger man down there. I like it.
I won't lie
I get giddy looking at Griffey, even if part of my brain says “boy he looks fatter.”
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Wouldn't he gain weight?
As the lack of estrogen would allow his testerone to take over, causing increased muscle mass?
Slow sweet swing, though.

People seem to forget that he sadly was one of our more consistent pitchers last season.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
The hate for him stems purely from his time as a starter.

Well, fuck Bavasi. I'm convinced he was still under the employ of the Angels while with us.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
No the hate comes from him not being any good at hitting the zone
although he’s very poetic about it. Also, there were the comments about what roles he’s okay with and the pitching through injury last year, that adds to the hate a touch.

He was the shining jewel in the O’s system until we gave them Tillman to take all the shine. He profiles as a 4/5 starter but his upside is a number 3 guy.

Internally no
It might depend on how good of a year Beltre has. If he is still greatly undervalued on the market it would probably be worth it to bring him back, but if he has a huge year and commands a big payday there will probably be better options available in free agency.
Yeah, I suppose if he showed more plate discipline
(which he’s probably capable of), he’d draw the walks he deserves.

It's amazing how bad Face Dances and It's Hard are aside from the lead singles
Even moreso because Townshed was putting out fantastic solo stuff at the same time. Moon’s death really was a kick in the nuts to them.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Moon's death was only in kick in the nuts
because it caused Pete to self destruct. The Who were basically unable to function at the end of the 70s because Moon was so out of it. That’s not to say they would have continued on as well as before but at least they would have been respectable…
And actually I rater like Pete’s material on Face Dances, it’s just there’s not enough. John’s two songs are terrible, and Roger completely misses the mark on vocals. It’s Hard on the other hand, is flat out terrible (save 4 songs or so) and no one but Pete wanted to release it.
by JI on Mar 4, 2009 9:35 PM PST up reply actions
Face Dances does actually have some quality material
“You Better You Bet,” “Another Tricky Day,” “Daily Records” — all good songs and good lyrics that Roger does a fine job with.
But It’s Hard is a travesty. “Eminence Front” and maybe “Athena” and burn the rest.

Don't Let Go The Coat is a good song
as is Cache Cache, but you’d never know it because he completely misses the mark.
I will say that he become much better over the years at singing more subtle songs. If he sang those songs today he’d sound great.
Athena (check), Eminence (check), I’ve Know No war is good but would be better if they had given a shit, Cry If You Want is a very good song, One Life’s Enough is decent enough, but all the filler is beyond terrible.

Oh, I see what you mean
Anyone who doesn’t decline with age merely solidifies their legacy, really.
Because you can’t expect them to go on forever.
Bruce Springsteen has most certainly NOT been excellent for 35 years.
Only an insane man would consider his post-Nebraska work excellent. Born In The USA is a mess as released, but the sessions have enough great unreleased material (on Tracks) to push the timeline to 1984 or so.
But after that? I count “Brilliant Disguise” and two decades worth of horseshit. Human Touch/Lucky Town has to be the worst double album (because really that’s what it is) of all-new material released by a major artist since god-knows-when. Tom Joad is a bunch of Steinbeck workingman-schtick rants sent to unlistenable non-melodies…I’ll stop here.
I think The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle (plus its outtakes) are miraculous music, some of the most endlessly entertaining stuff I own. But after 1985 or so Springsteen lost the plot.

61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Are you familiar with his early albums?
If not, give them a real try, plus also the outtakes from that era found on Tracks. It’s amazing Van Morrison-meets-The Crystals progressive rock/soul/folk fusion stuff. VERY adventurous.
The real shame is that he abandoned that style completely after 1974 or so. “Jungleland” is really the last one from that style.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
This exactly. That's my 10%,
but I will say as good a writer as he can be, his voice has always been a struggle for me.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?

Keep in mind I cut my teeth as a wee lad on my dad's Bob Dylan collection.
Once you get into Dylan you learn to appreciate how someone can be a great singer without being TECHNICALLY very good at all: it’s all about the emotion conveyed by the voice.
But you gotta at least be able to hit the notes and carry the tune. Dylan, Springsteen, Malkmus, etc….they may have weird singing voices, but they actually hit the notes of the melodies they’re singing.

And I own the box set compendium of their early stuff. Some bands just last through time.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
I dunno if Crimson got better with age....
Their ‘72-’74 stuff remains the peak for me. But they never got old and musty, which is down to Robert Fripp burning the band to ground and rebuilding it from scratch every few years or so.
Amazingly enough, they’re still making compelling new music. The Power To Believe was genuinely good.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Quad is their towering triumph
Although it’s a song or two too long, Sides 3 and 4 are flawless— and more importantly, it’s the only time they captured the excitement they are capable of on record (even if it’s in a completely un-Who like big band sort of way). John Entwistle is the unsung hero of that album, besides being the best bass player ever, he’s also a fucking one man orchestra.
My pick for greatest album ever is Who’s Next, though if I could Frankenstein one, Batmotorfinger has the best Side_A ever and Abbey Road the best side-B

Aside from my stack of 1969-1971 concert bootlegs, Pink Floyd bores the piss out of me these days.

You want a good psychadelic band? Try Can.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
FUCK YEAH
I adore Can (as does my girlfriend, who considers it the world’s greatest music to work to). Oddly enough, though, I think their greatest achievement is the low-key proto-ambient Future Days. Not a wasted second on that one. Unlike Tago-Mago, where slightly under half the album is basically unlistenable noise (and intended as such).
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Why thank you. Which is your favorite Can?
I’ll tell you this — I’m always a bit surprised at how I DON’T enjoy Ege Bamyasi more than I know I should. “Vitamin C” might be their greatest, funkiest 3.5 minutes on record, but so much of that album leaves me a bit cold. Still very good…just not as great as it should’ve been coming in between the twin towers of Tago-Mago and Future Days.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Spoon is probably my favorite - I love how they made their own pedal that transmutes the guitar backward,
but Bring Me Some Tea, and the entire Future Days album are magnificent.

But what about "Two Tickets To Paradise"?
And hey now, I happen to like “Gimme Some Lovin’.” First of all, it was by The Spencer Davis Group. And second of all, you have to keep in mind that Steve Winwood was all of 16 years old when he wrote and recorded that song. Which is pretty friggin’ amazing.
Whatever you happen to think of Winwood (I quite enjoy his work with Traffic and Blind Faith and even a bit of his solo stuff like on Arc Of A Diver), give the man credit for having one of the finest blue-eyed soul voices of the rock era. I think him and Darryl Hall are the top contenders in that category.

Got to have at least one down home country boy on your team
I’m not sure whats up with the hat though
Reegie is the MAN. Or will be. Chone Figgins 2.0. Run the numbers. Frighteningly close.

Agreed.

Snelling caught a ball without shattering his spine.

Junior is not the highlight.
There were 3 HRs and numerous RBIs. A walk and a flyout deep to center don’t make the cut.

This game should have more than three Mariners in it.

Fucking Reegie Corona is like his non-union Mexican equivalent and you get what you pay for.

Fuck you - Reegie is going to be the next Jesus.

Yeah, there's some good looking male patrons there...

The most annoying part
about watching a game at a bar is not knowing who is playing defense. You sometimes miss the screen-cap of the switch (or they don’t even care, like when the whole defense changes), and then when the 3B goes diving for a ball, you think “is that Tui trying to make a great play he’ll never make and failing (as expected), or Beltre missing a play he can sometimes make?” Thankfully it’s not my usual mode of game observation, that being either on the radio or at Safeco.
And holy fucking Christ, I barely recognized Doyle…dude needs to…ummm eat less.
Austrailia v. M's spring training game thread = 1100 comments
Holy shit
And for those of you who actually READ the entire thread: dude.
LL is in early-season form
I wouldn’t say mid-season form because there is a serious lack of GTE, and there should be about 2 of these threads for a decent game. And I skipped most of the music-related comments.

Over 1100 comments for a Spring Training game?
Holy shit…
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.
I actually really enjoyed that one.
I missed LL in mid-season form.
