I think it's funny when a pitcher becomes somewhat good after leaving the Royals in a fuck-you-for-Gil-Meche kind of way.

Ok, I think we can go back to hating Rob Johnson.

That triple yesterday gave him a brief break.

I liked joser's comment over on USSM

“It’s like Zombie Bavasi is still haunting this team, refusing to die, clawing his way out of the gloomy graveyard of the past and using his minions to inflict horrifying injuries on the optimistic roster of the future.”

No.

Dave is a kindly grandpa who gets mushy over little kids. Fortunately, Blowers is a similar mush, so he doesn’t take any flak for it.

Carrying on a thought from the last post ...

things we learned after last night? Griffey was not on the bench when called to PH last night as he was back in the training room, talking with Endy about his knee.

If all you want is nicotine, get yourself an E cigarette.

All the nicotine, none of the cancerous stuff (that we know of anyway.)

Im trying to quit too

Down to 1-2 a day. I dunno, those things seem too good to be true.

Maybe im missing a great opportunity, but for some reason I feel like I’ll regret it if I get one.

by Karma Police on Jun 20, 2009 7:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's possible. Different results for different people.

I was able to quit the real ones right away, but was hooked on the E ones for about 3 months. So far, no setbacks. Luck has little to do with it, but I wish you the best.

I any of y'all are planning to eat during or after the game, don't make the mistake I just did.

The Pizza Hut P’Zone is so fucking disgusting it defies logic.

Odd

When I worked there, the P’Zone was about the only thing I would eat.

Maybe I got a bad one?

I have a cast iron stomach from the swill I get served at work and this thing made me nauseous.

They tried to get Balentien to chase a high fastball and he crushes it.

Also, time to fess up to some retardation.

I thought the Sour Fest was tomorrow. I was making plans to drive to Temecula to meet sb and we’d drive to Escondido. I never once looked at the actual date.

This commercial irritates me.

How can it be so important for that many employees to know how to contact the business’ bank? don’t they have an accountant?

Good eye!

It hurts to be disappointed in R Johnson

"Rob Johnson is officially done"

I wish he was, Dave, I really do.

Fuck Anaheim.

by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth on Jun 20, 2009 8:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I expect a much better performance from R Johnson

Maybe instead of hgh he needs Viagra or extenze.
Why can’t R Johnson get up for the big at bats

Wherever I go, that's where I am.

While Rob Johnson sucks with the bat

his piss poor defense is even more irritating.

The only thing R Johnson can catch is...

the clap

Can you hear that beautiful music?

Clearly Yuni is a an assassin hired by the AL West to crush our dreams.

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

I know I'm late saying this, but I just wanted to point out that win or lose, I blame Jeff.

If we win, good job, Jeff. Telling Wlad to hurry up and hit his second homerun was a brilliant strategy. If we lose, way to drop the ball, Jeff. You couldn’t have hold him to hit his third homer too? What were you thinking.

Motherfucking Randy Winn. Second double play of the night.

Trade?

I’m not watching the game on TV. Could he have hurt himself?

Now Clay Zavada is my least favorite player.

Don’t fuck up our Branyan. He’s basically all we got.

CRAP

That looked painful.

We cannot afford to lose Russell Branyan

Not good

I will snipe that mustachioed bumhole personally if he hurt Branyan. Good lord, that’s ridiculous.

I am glad, reading these comments, that I am not watching this game.

Watching “Staying Alive” with a relative who is getting dementia is much funner.

That is literally the stupidest play I have ever seen

and I saw Manny cut off a throw from Johnny Damon

Eric Byrnes is awesome.

He catches it…..THEN dives. Innovative!
