Featuring Ichiro and the Amazing Minuses.

What a lineup. How the hell did that happen?

When you saw the pre-game lineup you knew it was going to happen.

Tigers lead Angels, 1-0

Carlos Guillen’s GIDP killed what might’ve been a soul-crushing 1st inning rally.

The Angels pitcher has no fucking clue where the ball is going

What do you expect from a 30-year-old career minor leaguer?

Yeah thing is

you don’t really much like the Angels.

by Bearskin Rugburn on Apr 23, 2009 7:31 PM PDT up reply actions

It's a defense mechanism

Every time I try to care, someone else goes on the DL.

I plan on coming out of the coma around June

shouting, “Alright, Opening Day, let’s go!”

Just do it the day of Lackey's first start

that would seem most appropriate

Like I said, June.

Yeah... I hate that team and all they represent

but holy christ are they ever repaying for their run of good fortune last year.

When you sleep with Lady Luck, you gotta be prepared for the possibility that you wake up in a bathtub full of ice water, a crudely stitched incision in your back and the words ‘We took your balls, but it wasn’t enough so then we cut your back open’ scrawled in sparkly lip gloss on the wall.

Is it a rally if it's in the first?

Adrian forgot that he is in a contract year

Who needs to hit?

by xavier42 on Apr 23, 2009 7:27 PM PDT reply actions

Has he gone the other way at all this year? He seems to be trying to yank everything.

And he’s swinging at some absolutely terrible pitches.

So Felix was good?

Naaaah.

by Woodinville_12thMan on Apr 23, 2009 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Did that ump put him through the wringer or what? Terrible strike zone.

by Kermit. on Apr 23, 2009 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Felix would've gone 8 IP, maybe 9 IP, if not for that asshole.

by Wilder. on Apr 23, 2009 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Seriously

It seemed anything more than halfway down the thigh was a ball, there were some plum centre strikes called as balls throughout innings 1-7.

Well I asked because sometimes statistical Good Felix can be deceiving.

by Mariner John on Apr 23, 2009 10:27 PM PDT up reply actions

This was a Pretty Damn Good Felix.

Started heavy with the fastballs, of course, but he looked like he knew where they were going. Maybe he really didn’t, but he wasn’t as wild as he has been. And he got his ground balls when he needed them. Of the top of my head . . . three double-plays today?

by Teej on Apr 23, 2009 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions

He did an unbelievable job today. One of his three best performances, in my opinion.

I say that because the defense blew some really easy plays, and he kept his composure. The umpiring was some of the worst I’ve ever seen, and yet, he kept his composure.

A year ago, I don’t think Felix is able to handle the domino effect. Today, he stood strong and pitched a hell of a game. And he got so absurdly squeezed by that fucking tool-douche behind home. Maybe that was for the better though, to test Felix’s mettle. Because he finally passed the composure test, and he did so with flying colors.

by cwel87 on Apr 24, 2009 7:48 AM PDT up reply actions

This isn't directed at you John, because I know what you mean

But sometimes I fear we’re missing out on enjoying Felix as much as we should because we expect so much of him. And not unfairly, perhaps, but the Felix we saw today is a pitcher that should be cherished by any fanbase.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 24, 2009 2:42 AM PDT up reply actions

Fuck that noise.

Felix don’t get no love from me until he shapes up. I’m not staying around in this abusive relationship. I found me a Canadian boy with charms and golden heart.
