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.

Ugh.... Sounders.
Even when we’re good we don’t get breaks.
Jason Vargas sounds like a white ,SoCal stoner.
Which is unsettling to me.
Were you under the impression he was anything but?
I mean, Long Beach State.

I say it like it was jarring.
Which it was.
Which is what I said.
Does anyone else think that when the announcers say D-Backs it kinda sounds like D-Bags?
It makes me giggle every time. Of course, I am twelve.
Well, the 1995 double still gives me goosebumps.
Last night’s home run is never going to be that.

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.

It's amazing how this team gives up on him after sporadic awful play,
but seems to have no problem with Yuni or Rob Johnson’s consistent awful play.
Gutierrez and Beltre are probably pretty happy Buckner pitches in the NL
Wlad is gonna miss him when he’s gone

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

Suddenly Yuni has range. Yesterday was an accident.
I’m sure of it. But no more close ones.

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 submit that everyone should carry around Yuni-sticks
which are meter long lead pipes with which to call Yuni off with.
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.
Endy could still lay down a bunt, right?
He wouldn’t have to run.
Good Point
It’s not like he already had his surgery.

Well considering the third base coach is standing right next to him and would tell him if the squeeze was on
I kinda doubt this one is on Yuni.
That is literally the stupidest play I have ever seen
and I saw Manny cut off a throw from Johnny Damon
Haha, I was thinking that.

“Is the pregnant woman you theoretically have a connection with, as you are her lamaze partner, coming?”
25 June 2006
Then I went to sleep.
This morning, I woke up at 5:57, took a shower, ate bowl of cereal, lounged around, and got in the car and drove away. Then I opened my phone and saw I needed an extension cord, so I rushed back to the house, sturggled to find an extension cord but eventually found one, and then drove away.
Then I got to the Worldmark place and sat and waited and waited before finally calling Erica and asking her where she was.
I then drove to the property I was supposed to work out where she was waiting. She showed me how to operate her sander, and then told me what I had to do. Then she left.
Then I started sanding, and did that for approx. 45 seconds before I realized that this was going to be completely undoable without bug spray, which I went to Rite Aid and purchased. Then I sprayed bug spray.
Then I sanded for a while before I ran out of sand paper.
Then I went to the hardware store and bought more sand paper, drove back, and sanded some more. And I sanded, and I sanded, and I started to get extremely disgruntled that it was taking me forever to hit bare wood, so I drove to the hardware store to inquire as to what I was doing wrong, when I was notified for the third time of the day that I did not need to expose the wood, just rough the old paint up a bit. So I did that.
Then I went and got my brother’s weedeater, and I ate the weeds, and that took about 15 minutes.
Then I dropped the weedeater off, went home, took a shower, wrote a bill, adding on unnecessary charges (Fuel and Insect Toleration Surcharge- US$5) until I got my desired US$30 out of the deal.
Then my Mom and I loaded a table in the back of the car, and drove to the hardware store where I gave Erica her sander and the bill, and then we went to my Grandma’s house, and she wasn’t home but we put the table where she wanted it.
Then we went home.
Then my Grandma called to ask me if I’d look at a rattle in her car, so I drove down there, got in her car, drove it around, and determined two things:
A) the rattle is coming from the right trunk hinge.
B) there is not a damn thing I can do about it.
So I explained that it wasn’t mechanical at least and yaddah yaddah, and then she gave me ice cream.
Then Iw ent home, watched the Mariners game for a bit, and went to some ladies house to scout out work, and agreed to terms on a US$75 lawn mowing/pawn cleaning job.
Then I went back home, watched the game, and sat around.
Now i’m here.
