We Lost? Who Cares!

by Jeff Sullivan on May 4, 2009 10:58 PM PDT in Seattle Mariners News, Great

In my time I've seen some things
That blew my fucking mind:
A car explode, three cats on swings
An Aussie boy refined.

But never have i felt such awe
Or been in this much shock;
For tonight I'm sure I saw
That Yuni drew a walk.

Is it wrong that Yuni's walk excited me?

Sexually?

by Orion Moony on May 4, 2009 11:22 PM PDT reply actions

Yuni walking was the non-sexual equivalents of your girlfriend taking her glasses off an pulling up her sweatshirt.

This could have been so much better had I put a little thought into it.

It's the thought that counts.

But there was no thought.

Pretty trick, that.

My girlfriend doesn’t wear glasses though. And imagining Yuni in glasses and a sweatshirt totally just killed the illusion.

Well in my defense the point was that it was in no way sexy.

Excellent.

This .gif is even better

When you get a minute to soak in each frame before the next one loads.

Ok its fully loaded now.

Definite rec for telling an epic story of finally wounding an enemy after continously slaying your own army with a swod.

Also, I had not even noticed that sidebar was there until this post.

Jamie's walk totals since going to Philly

2006 (8 games): 1
2007: 2
2008: 7
2009: 4!
A trend? Could Jamie be channeling his inner (old) Rickey Henderson? You don’t have to be able to hit to draw some walks.
Super duper SSS but a .429 OBP thus far. He’s a terrible hitter with 0 power and 0 speed. Four walks would be a lucky/good season total for him.
C’mon Yuni!

I’m going off on a tangent, but Jamie ‘Methuselah’ Moyer out walking a starting position player who can hit a little bit is really funny and not in a good way.
