I enjoy pigtails

Agree with pretty much the rest of the responses to this thread.

by appleshampoo on Aug 13, 2009 7:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

No.

We had a long discussion over this.

Pigtails = any ‘tail’ of hair that is braided in some sense.
Ponytails = any ‘tail’ of hair that is simply held together with a band or some other device.

by Matthew on Aug 13, 2009 8:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

My stylist wife disagrees a little.

She says that a pigtail is any ponytail wherein the hair is curled, at least traditionally.

No no no.

Pig tails— two of them, usually short and perky.

Pony tail— one tail, often long like a beeeutiful pony’s.

Beltre
Back to Beltre, he was hurt on a hard grounder that kicked off to his right in the eighth inning.

“It hurt pretty bad,‘’ he said. "It was hurting me pretty much the whole game after that.’’

Told that some were suggesting he was brave for staying in the game, he quipped:

“I don’t know about brave. Maybe stupid.’’

Weird question. Completely different from Rob Johnson’s easy mistakes last night. Weird. (Oh, its esoteric who posted it, I get it now).

No.

Y’all are likely too young to remember BonBons, but Dipbs are mini bonbons (dome shaped) coated in chocolate and teeny crisped rice.

Dibs are WAY better

Dippin’ dots are okay…kind of dry-tasting though. I love me some Crunch-flavored Dibs.

They used to sell these "Rainbow Ice" dippin' dots at Safeco and they were delicious.

More like a snow cone than ice cream. And then one season they were gone.

If Joh gets a HR

I’ll start advocating for him to play every game the rest of the year

by magistermilitum on Aug 13, 2009 7:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Seems like a small sample decision.

Thats like giving Cairo playing time every game because he managed to hit one out.

He does kind of look like a leprechaun.

But then again most Irish do.

Sure, Hannahan is listed at 6'2"

But you know they always exaggerate that stuff for the official record. He’s 1’11" if he’s an inch.

Must be fun pitching in the minor leagues.

Then get traded to the AL where the first three teams you face are Texas (home), Rays, and Yankees.

Even the robots wouldn't be giving these calls to Mariners pitching at this point.

Their “fuck you, you can’t pitch for shit” subroutine would have activated around the 5th inning.

So this game sucks.

They’re selling Yankees player/number shirts at the merch stands. It is disgusting.

Why can’t Sweeney go on the DL for the rest of the year already? That way I could enjoy his personality and antics without watching a single one of his “at bats” the rest of the year.

WHAT THE FUCK?

I thought Howard Lincoln banned the Safeco PA people from playing the stupid “DAAAAAAAAYO” daaaaaaaaayo “DAAAAAAAYO!” daaaaaaayo!" thing because that was the Yankees deal and we don’t do that we’re the Mariners and all sorts of shit. Fuck them.

by Decatur on Aug 13, 2009 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

I always thought if I saw "Teixeira 25" shirts displayed for sale at Safeco I'd be happy.

I ddnt figure it would happen this way. It’s BS. Yeah they make money. But they alienate casual Mariners fans by openly supporting the visiting team. I’d think building a dedicated fan base would be more importan than a few bucks now.

the hat is blue, with a rectangle-shaped logo of some kind. It looked like a corporate giveaway

To clarify:

yoyogi likes to call Hannahan “Hannah Montana”.

I cant decide if he’s an alias of someone here, or if he’s doing it for the reactions, but I think its become his trademark over the past couple days

Seeing Angie reminds me--

there was a digression (based on a deleted comment) in the Times postgame last night on the subject of her baseball career… first they didn’t believe that women ever played baseball, and then if they did, it was just a publicity stunt and not real baseball, and you know, probably any of them could have beaten her.

Did Snell pitch as bad as his line looks?

In all seriousness...

in my opinion, terrible in the 2nd and 3rd, kinda mediocre to okay in the rest.

Although it was nice he was able to stay in the game so long. But I wasn’t impressed at all overall.

by Karma Police on Aug 13, 2009 10:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

Huh.

Looks like he did a little better than I thought (apart from 2nd and 3rd of course) Guess I was just bitter or something.

Well good for him…I guess.
