So we will score runs by 10 o'clock?
Seems about right, that’ll be around the 9th inning.
at least 10 runs
I am so confident that I am willing to risk a Gamethread Ban on it tomorrow.

Haha, I missed that to be honest.
It really is what it reminded me of, it was a classic case of every flyball finds an outfielder, and whilst it is totally unsustainable it is always really enjoyable to watch.

Really quick aside as the game begins, and while this probably falls under LLLJ, I know there are people here who can answer this question. I just moved into a new apartment, and also just now turned my laptop on for the first time since arriving here. I had absolutely no trouble finding a wireless network in range, and as far as I can tell so far, the service is awesome. Should I still go about buying my own internet service, or should I siphon off someone else for as long as I can? Are there any pretty big drawbacks to this?
If you are a big draw (video, torrents), it's highly unethical. General browser, not so bad.
I would ask the person that you’re siphoning off of if you can piggyback for 10 a month or something. I did that moving in where I am now while I waited 2 months for the fucking cable company to show up.

Drawbacks - I once started using a guy that broke into my network as a storage server.
But if the person doesn’t have security, they probably don’t know that much.

This is awesome...
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
I have a question to which you guys may or may not have the answer.
So, I’ve been curious about the management. See, we know and use the term “Wak Ball” for the small ball (speed, pussy hits, et al.) approach we’ve taken this year – but something I’ve wondered lately is, is it Wak or Z ball? Is Z trading and assembling a team to the style of Wak, or is Wak managing with the players’ skillsets accordingly? Or, conversely, is it a joint system that is simply well matched?
So, I’m not sure if this is a stupid question or not. I’ve just assumed it’s Wak’s baby until now, though I do not know.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Dear Joevan, Develop motor skills. Love, ATQ.
So, that is, Z is curtailing to Wak?
Or do you think it’s Zoinks’ preferred style as well?
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Dear Joevan, Develop motor skills. Love, ATQ.
SHIT
"You're so beautiful. You could be a part-time model, but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job."
HGH homer number one for the night.

Which is why just simply listening to it while applying for jobs. It could very easily just become background noise here pretty soon….

Text message recieved after the second homer:
“So my parents turned off the mariners game on the radio after GMJ homered and I yelled at how I fucking hate him and how he can suck my dick. They’re claiming it’s apparent why I don’t have a girlfriend right now.”
Correct
He’s 1-2 so far today

NICE JOB DIPSHITS.
They’re making quite a good team tonight.
by Seattle Rodiners on May 21, 2009 8:01 PM PDT reply actions
Hilariously, Wilder already beat me to it.
So I guess I’m not alone.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Sure.
He has next to no trade value and isn’t going to return any draft picks. Delgado was in the same situation last year and he was close to being released.
This is why it won't happen.
But Ronny could be a suitable replacement if it came to DFA’ing Beltre.
Wouldn't return any good prospects, most likely.
He’s not producing enough to make him worth giving up 5-6 years of control of a decent prospect while he is in his walk year.
Bedard on the other hand…
But it's not like the only other option is to pay Beltre to go away.
He’s a better player than Cedeno. DFA’ing him would gain the team nothing other than opening a roster spot for a replacement-level AAA callup. Put him on the bench for a while and use him as a defensive substitute if you feel like it, but letting him walk right now makes no sense.
It doesn't make any sense any way you look at it.
I wasn’t being completely serious about the DFA idea. August or September is about the only time it would be a reasonable decision to make. By then we would be out of contention and allow someone like Tui get some reps at the ML level.
What I wouldn't give to see Lower wear that helmet out onto the field.

The power might have been a bit flukey, but still, I’m really surprised to see him given away for a guy who has no business starting for an MLB team.
