~The Official LookoutLanding Poster Who Dreams Of Doing Naughty Naughty Things To Russell Branyan~
Answering Taylor's question about the Zduriencik/KJR interview ... not much new was learned
Ackley was the best player available, and they love his bat
Was not taking a pitcher on the first day an indictment on the holes in the system? No, more just taking who was the best on their board at the time— and then he pointed out several of the current Ms pitchers who were 2nd day draftees
He avoided answering the ‘ready to trade?’ question by making general statements about doing what was best for the team— and that could be trading for pieces, or trading for a veteran if he thought it would be best for the club.
He’s gotten good at this GM speak.
Mmmmmmmm.....Branyan.....

There was an entertaining 'How to play first base" segment on Fox the other day.
Russell sounded very Georgia.
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Oh wait, I always confuse the Ritchie and the Canyonero songs.

So anyone think Branyan is a cuddler?
Because his bat can slam the fuck out of everything it touches.
It was a good one, the way he delivered it.
“I wonder what it feels like to… compress… a baseball like that.”

No, I'm seriously considering your offer. Give me an hour, don't worry, the next sim isn't for 13 hours.

Wow, he even managed to fuck it up when he did something right

Yuni cracked a bottle before that at-bat, I just know it.

I do'nt know, he was like right behind Beltre that whole time too.

To quote from that masterpiece, "Superman"
“It’s amazing that brain can generate enough power to keep those legs moving. "
This game got much hotter all of a sudden.

No
It’s the whole winning thing that makes it sexy.

Does anyone have anything on a link to Branyan's Funk Blast?
I turned the game on literally the at-bat following it.

Why can't Balentien be more like Nolan Reimold?

Alright
Who has the Yuni ‘baserunning’ gif?
Did you fall in love with Miguel Batista? And he rejected you?
No, his job is to write awesome stuff about baseball, not adhere to your every whim and request

Did you hear the story where the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl to the Steelers due to being greatly outplayed?
by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 11, 2009 7:23 PM PDT up reply actions
I think there is a baseball player who is local to Seattle and probably rooted for the Seahawks that also wouldn't appreciate these bait fights

I don't see what Jeremy Bonderman has to do with this.
He doesn’t like hockey.

Well, this is fun to come home to after thinking this was heading toward a postponment.
And wow, Angels. It’s always Mariner-y to see a game in which they had the bases loaded in the first, got no runs out of it and now are down 11-1.
It just struck me that Yuni can hit .300 the rest of the season
and I would just hate him all the more for it.

I love how Griffey's positive clubhouse presence
translates mostly into vague homoeroticism. I guess that’s what they mean by chemistry.

Does anybody even remember what we traded to Boston to get Aardsma?
The Rise of a Superstar:Justin Upton-.422 wOBA, 21 years old.
He was a waiver claim

If at first you fail try and try again. And again. The same way. Again.

Oh, one point like three or four years ago we used gobstoppers to signifiy things
that should be good but weren’t. Because you thought gobstoppers would be a better candy than they actually were.
Only the very original LLers were there and used that meme. It was like the ultimate status symbol.
