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?

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.

That’s like liking both the Yankees and the Red Sox.

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.

Yuni hit a popup when a runner on 3rd and no outs?

Has Yuni ever showed remorse over hitting pop ups before? Ever?

Yuni looks lucky when he makes a routine play

And charge the fucking ball for christ sakes. It’s like he waits for a bad hop so he has an excuse for not making the play.

For probably the next two, yes.

Then we’ll just squint and grumble when Jones makes each milestone step towards crossover superstardom, such as signing a free agent deal with the 2013 repeat world champion Rangers, or featuring in videos with Jamie Foxx and T-Pain, and of course, his feature film vehicles.

The amazing part is this:

Would it be out of line to say that if he died I wouldn’t be sad?

by MFAN on May 27, 2009 1:56 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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

by noontide on May 27, 2009 1:57 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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…

by gustafm on May 27, 2009 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.

by marc w on May 27, 2009 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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?

I’m a little slow on which elements of humor through repetition are always funny and which are dead memes.You’ll have to bear with me for a few years, or box/ban me.

by eponymous_coward on May 27, 2009 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Typically once is funny, twice is not, but overkill is funny

But the overkill must be a one time event and done ironically

by Poochie on May 27, 2009 2:13 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by eponymous_coward on May 27, 2009 2:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Matthew on May 27, 2009 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions   2 recs

Right.

It’s like repeating a joke from a standup routine. Only makes sense if people know the whole set up.

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.

So, to sum up...

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.
