Actually, I remember reading something about how Minnesotians

have sex more often than most Americans. That, and they produce more art. Something about being stuck indoors for a good chunk of the year.

STOP IT

STOP TELLING ME CHARLIE FRYE WILL IMPROVE WITH TIME!
STOP REMINDING ME THAT EVERYTEAM HAS IT STRUGGLES!
STOP TELLING ME HOW YOU BOUNCED BACK SO QUICKLY AND SO CAN WE!
EITHER DONT SAY ANYTHING OR START BEING OBNOXIOUS ENOUGH FOR ME TO SAY SHIT BACK AND NOT FEEL LIKE A ASSHOLE!

Jak!

and he is the youngest looking 30 year old ive ever seen. he looks 12

Yeah.

You know what I miss? A guy that sweats an uncomfortably high amount. We haven’t had one since Nageotte and that was always entertaining.

by Matthew on Apr 8, 2009 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Is Nags still alive?

He was my favorite player of 04.

by Robert on Apr 8, 2009 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

I remember an ESPN article from the 2004 preseason

It highlighted Nageotte and Blackley, discussing how they’re the future of the Mariners’ rotation.

And in a way, that article was right.

Lefty on the mound, is Griffey being PH for?

Betancourt put that play on?

You mean he knows what baseball is?

From Baker:

“On to Ichiro, his blood test results are back and the team says he’s improving. The plan is to use him as a DH in an extended spring game tomorrow. He could get as many as 10 ABs in that game, which is common in these things as a rehabbing player can often lead off every inning or be used more than once in a frame. After that, he’ll be re-evaluated.”

by ewakio on Apr 8, 2009 7:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

This is encouraging.

Groundout!

So how soon will these umps be replaced with computers again?

That is NOT how you regress to the mean Kenji

Kenji=Replacement Level?

Or is he worse than that still? Oh well, we know it’s his fault that Silva had trouble tonight, regardless.

Mark Lowe

Please implode so as to make this loss less painful

by JLC on Apr 8, 2009 7:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Hey a Lowe sighting.

Lowe's slider is incredibly sexy

Cedeno

Already better in LF than Ibanez.

What is Morrow doing?

He can’t blow a game that we already lost.

by Wilder. on Apr 8, 2009 7:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Looked pretty good from here.

I’ll let Gameday change my mind, but it looked like a strike.

and i get a warning

for not capitalizing
or using proper grammer?
whatever, i dont even care anymore

by Fireball309 on Apr 8, 2009 8:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

my bad

i didnt even know that existed

by Fireball309 on Apr 8, 2009 8:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

I would post a frowny face

But i don’t think that’s allowed

by Fireball309 on Apr 8, 2009 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

I know, right? Nazis around here.

My suggestion is that you keep typing like an 8-year-old while openly mocking the guys who run the site. You are sure to eventually win this battle.

Let me help you a little bit

I’ll explain this whole crazy Lookout Landing thing in a way you might understand it.

 What’s the first thing you do when you buy something new? You read the manual most of the time so you understand what’s going on and how the object functions. This site is no different. If you decide not to read the “manual” for this site, you WILL be chastised for it. I suggest you do your reading.

by Fuzz on Apr 8, 2009 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Instruction manuals are for pussies.

Just like asking for directions and capitalizing proper nouns.

by Teej on Apr 8, 2009 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

I've personally never read one either

However funny it may be to watch this kid crash and burn, I’m only trying to put it in a way he MAY understand it. Bear with me here Teej

by Fuzz on Apr 8, 2009 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ever since I went the wrong way on a one way street...

I will always fall under that category. Very unfair.

by Slica on Apr 8, 2009 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

To be clear,

I think instructional manuals are for people who want to do things right, asking for directions is often helpful and capitalizing proper nouns is crucial for anyone over the age of 7 wishing to be taken seriously.

by Teej on Apr 8, 2009 11:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

I didn't even know there was a manual

Could you change that so people later don’t make the same stupid mistake I just did

And I am sorry if it seemed like i was mocking him. I wasn’t meaning to.

And also, I’ve typed this same way on this site for the past year and I’ve never been called on it before.

by Fireball309 on Apr 8, 2009 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

Behold the long dick of the mods

Prepare to get fucked by it for violating rules

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

Great

Another one run loss. This is a fantastic start to the season

by JLC on Apr 8, 2009 7:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Punish Silva

Ban him from the buffet line for the next two hours, don’t let him eat his emotions.

by forte40 on Apr 8, 2009 7:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Phooey

Some positives from this one. The two relievers looked really good. Team battled back a couple
I can live with this one. Just all about Silva being terrible yet again. Lots of promising stuff otherwise in my opinion

by Rudy4three on Apr 8, 2009 7:46 PM PDT reply actions  

The rest of the team was pretty good.

Silva aside. Oh well. Perhaps he will have hungry enough to fill him self up with the zeal of a champion for his next game.

Really, though, the rest of the team looked good. Props to Yuni for taking some balls!
