It might be thrown at fifty million miles per hour
but it’s somehow still crazy effective.
He must be able to locate it better than his fastball
Which might explain why he’s been purposefully throwing his fastball slower to have better command of it these past few starts, but I’d wonder if his changeup has dropped in velocity accordingly and how that has affected it’s effectiveness.
It makes me not as annoyed about that 3 game sweep of Oakland.
Thought it would be a nice positive thing to read at the beginning of a game thread so we are all happy for what is always a potential clusterfuck of pain.
He looks like he smells pretty nice actually

There are times...
When you just want to send up the batter without a bat. I think more often for the Mariners than most teams.
God fucking dammnit rolls over on a fucking 2-0 pitch from a shitty pitcher

Griffey’s line is almost the same as Turbo’s was…Fucking history and all that shit…DFA already.

Man, I don't think Matthews got within 6 inches from any of those breaking pitches
What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
Looks like Felix is listening.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
I was half-expecting Yuni to swing at that pitchout.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Rob Johnson takes pride in his defense!

Actually I think ML pitching might butcher him.

It would be very painful to lose 2 games to the Angels

What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
Can we get some analysis on if that shit on Felix's chin is throwing off his pitches?
Because it isn’t helping me like him more.
What's the all-time low on comments in an open game thread with Felix pitching?
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
I'm guessing it's a combination of a saturday
and it being in SoCal so a lot of people are probably at the game.
I think I like this Felix guy.
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"
Good God where has this Felix been all my life!
I just ran through the Gameday – I don’t think I’ve seen him pitch better this year (maybe Tampa, but that’s the only competition).
Our team seems to swing at a lot of borderline 3-1 pitches and make outs
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"
Felix is the next Albert Pujols!
He can field and hit like him!
You got slurved!

They need Felix to spark this offense PH Rob Johnson for Felix the next time up!

Only Vlad would swing at that and still find his way on base somehow.

I'll be quite angry if they score because of that wild pitch
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"
I'm sick of Johnson.
Can’t we just lay a brick wall and have Felix pitch to that.
I fucking hate Matthews.

HEY OFFENSE, THANKS A LOT FOR SUPPORTING FELIX'S AWESOME START YOU LIMP-DICKED RETARDS
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Is there an extent to how long we let this shit happen with Johnson?
He hasn’t contributed at all, as a matter of fact he’s hurting this team.

Yuni - Beltre - Griffey in the 9th
You tell me
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"
So the M's are about to be shut out by Matt Palmer and Darren Oliver.
The entire offense should commit seppuku right now, to avoid bringing further shame and dishonor upon their family names. Especially Yuni. And Rob Johnson. And Lopez.
Branyan doesn’t need to participate in the mass suicide.

I don't want to watch Brandon pitch anymore.
I will only select to remember him starting against the yankees last year.
I'm not feeling bad for Felix. I'm still mad at him for blowing the leads we gave him vs Anaheim and Texas.
When we were actually still trying to win the division
Sims gets so excited over minor achievements.
He was about to blow a gasket due to excitement over that RBI single that we luckily got the man at first.
Reminds me of when we score a run, but strand multiple runners, and he’s giddy as school girl that we scored one run
Ah, he's nuts. We'll like pull within a run or two. But hit into a DP with the bases loaded.
And he’ll be like “And that’s a double play, BUT the M’s Get A Run!!!”
Oh, Yuni grounds out after two pitches?
What a complete surprise. I never saw that coming.

I don't know how to stop.
First inning
1.) Ichiro single
2.) Out
3.) Wild pitch
4.) Beltre HBP
5.) Griffey double play!
I don't know how to stop.

It looked like he was searching for something dear to him, fell down, couldn’t get up, and now began imagining it just beyond his grasp.
Meanwhile the cat torments him with his fiddling.

I guess I use the softball definition.
A ringer is a former minor-league baseball player that the opposing team brings to the playoffs and pretends he was on the team all along.
I forgot I had recorded it, but I saw the score on the ESPN ticker.
It wasn’t the FINAL score, but I thought it was, so it ruined it anyway.

Graham and I once had a discussion about the aesthetic merits of penises.

I don't think we ever discussed this but for the sake of argument I'll say 1/8 of the way

I think that's a different Matthew-cam.
Also, callback!
Though I am confused without there being three to seven links to past threads

They are missle-like and at least impressive from a design standpoint.

But part of design is the visual appeal.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on May 30, 2009 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions
We can get technical about this if you wish.
Because there are some fascinating facts about the design through evolution.
Penises are like the Volkswagens of genitalia
the functionality is part of the aesthetic appeal. And also they stop working for no good reason all the time.

VW's are renowned for their reliability.
And I would argue that men are the least likely gender to stop working for no good reason.
Their up/down functions consistently stop working, though.

The Mitch Hedberg refernce quota still has some room left in it
but if we make any more of them, people might come by to notify us that Mitch Hedberg was a comedian who told funny jokes.

I learned of chrome last night
and after hearing that it likely would not support mlbtv I am happy to hear otherwise
I use Chrome for nothing else,
so I can’t vouch for it TOO much, but it handles MLB.tv really well for me. And I don’t get the “game thread update stutter” that I get if i’m running both in Firefox.

I was at the game tonight and I started laughing to myself in the top of the 3rd
with Chavez on first base the first pitch to Yuni was a pitch out.
The Angels had to figure it was a 50-50 shot that they would either nab Endy trying to steal or that Yuni would swing at it anyway!
