Hmm... this or Champions League...
tough call.
Not a tough call at all actually
I just wish I could watch the final but I’m chained to my desk for a couple hours. Would it be worth putting up a final FanPost so as not to distract those that don’t care about such things?
Nice Guys Finish Third - My semantics are a waste of time.
Not tough at all.
Just watch the football game that will be watched by 50 mln more viewers than the ’super’bowl.
It was sarcasm.
The final actually involves a team I don’t despise.
This has been covered before.
I’m not going through it again.
It is a sad state of affairs when I am at a point where I wont switch over to the M's game until after
I’m done watching Gunsmoke on TVLand.

So
Do you have to go out of your way to find bad photos of opposing teams pitchers, or do they just present themselves willingly?

Why am I seeing ads on the site for a Spanish TV show?
It airs on Telemundo apparently, and is called Mas Sabe El Diablo. I think that the people that set up the ad buys for SBN need to try harder at getting to their target markets

I saw an ad for this show
on KCAL 9 while watching the Dodgers/Rockies the other day. The show looks bad even for a telenovela.

Also, ON WHAT FUCKING PLANET IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO BAT THE MOST INEPT HITTER IN THE LINEUP* IN THE 2 HOLE.
*Rob Johnson and participation may vary

Hey, Wak…some free advice
Ichiro

Beltre
Griffey

WHY ARE YOU BATTING TWO RIGHT-HANDERS TOGETHER IN THE FIRST THREE???
You people hate this offense now, just wait till we trade Branyan.

Yeah, but we might also trade Beltre and Lopez
and get rid of those sacks of shit.
And after we trade Beltre
we won’t even have the potential upside of his regression.
Regression to the mean.
That would indeed be progress.
In play no out?? What the fuck did Rob Johnson get a hit?

Rob Johnson everyone.
He peppers doubles down the left field line.

I can't even think of a bad thing to say about Yuni.
Would it be out of line to say that if he died I wouldn’t be sad?
BASEBALL FROM ENGLAND, BITCHES!
ENGLISH MARINER, WASSUP?
They are very disappointed here.
Apparently it wasn’t even a contest
The A's should have let them score there
So they could get that great feeling of coming from behind against the M’s Bullpen
Raider for life
Yeah no shit
With Bedard already at 84 pitches through 5, he’ll be gone after 6. Thus, I put the over/under on runs scored the rest of the game for the A’s at 5.5…
You know, I really wish we had kept Tuglett around.
Because, MAN, do the options we have in AAA and AA to replace Yuni and Lopez with suck, Truinfel is injured, and Cedeno can only replace one of them.
I also do not understand why the hell nobody will give Tuglett a MLB job. He has a AAA lifetime OPS of .821, and he takes walks. He can’t be THAT much of a butcher, can he? Hell, he’s even a LHB infielder…
by eponymous_coward on May 27, 2009 1:59 PM PDT reply actions
Yep.
It sums up just how awful MI depth is in this org that Tuglett could conceivably go right into the starting line-up in Seattle and improve the team.
Well, I actually think he's kinda actually underrated.
Unless he’s a complete hack job at 2B, he should draw some walks, hit for a little power, and be tolerable as a cheap fill-in at 2B, especially if you platoon him.

But accusations of racism are hilarious?

Typically once is funny, twice is not, but overkill is funny
But the overkill must be a one time event and done ironically
Yeah, my shtick is mostly humor through repetition.
With occasional elements of humor through repetition.
This tends to mean I don’t just use dead memes, more like ones that have disintegrated into the dust of unfunniness.

And preferably done by one person.
Far too many people here think it’s hilarious to steal jokes from other people without understanding that the context of who posts what is at least half of what makes it funny. Dave Cameron posting a Washburn pedo joke? Hilarious because it’s Dave. Anyone else here posting a Washburn pedo joke? Not even remotely funny.

Baker predicted 110 pitches today on Mitch's show
Mitch responded with “If Bedard goes 110 strong pitches then trade him tomorrow”
Im conviced that Endy can't hit a ball farther than that
His HR was only first row, I think. I believe we’ve found his limit
My asian girlfriend always thinks it's racist when teams walk Ichiro
I tried explaining that it’s a sign of respect, but have gotten nowhere with that argument.

Why can't THEIR Sweeney fall on his face
…at the most inopportune moment?
Maybe the grand strategy of the M's for Bedard is
to get him so scared of the bullpen that he actually hates to leave games.

I'm looking for a highlight clip, but I bet I don't find one.
Remember when Lou was ejected here in Seattle, and kicked his hat back to the dugout about 6 inches at a kick? My all time favorite Lou moment
I didn't expect them to show that, man he almost caught Lou with the bat in the dugout at the end of the clip
Not much contact with the ump, nice ’FUCK YOU" after the ump ejects him
Does anyone else get tired of seeing so much AL West?
I kind of miss seeing an balanced sampling of all the teams in the AL on the schedule, like they did in the late 90s.

Sean White is a pleasant surprise

We're just making the loss hurt even more when Aardsma gives up a lot of HRs in the 9th.

CLosers suck in every situation.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!

We’ve had 6 games against two Bay Area teams that can’t hit any better than us, and basically it’s looked like a cripple fight, where we’ve gone 3-3.
