Shhhhhhhhh...
Can’t it just be about how ridiculously awesome Gutz is?
Bill Hall is a bad mother fucker...
I’d cross the street if I saw him on the sidewalk in front of me.
If you were Yoyogi I would call you a racist piece of shit

That single was identical to Ichiros.
Let’s hope the next at doesn’t follow history.
More like KENNEDY!
That was some terrible baserunning.
I don't have gameday up.
Is the strike zone today as hilarious as it looks on tv?

Ian Snell's strategy of walking many batters seems flawed to me.
What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
I know this has been discussed before but what about using dragons as catchers?
I think they would be great. The Umps could ride on their backs and only the bravest would ever still home. Granted all the calls would have to come from the bench.
Large lizards.
Dragons aren’t the smartest of creatures.

Speaking of intriguing
Assuming you could shapeshift, what would happen if you decided to turn yourself into a rock? You ASSUME your consciousness would go with you, but in reality you may not transfer your consciousness and you would simply be a rock, unable to turn yourself back into a person. It is possible that several rocks are actually shapeshifters that made poor decisions.
Did I just blow your mind?
...and now I'm here
That's a really depressing children's book.
...and now I'm here
My consciousness class at Evergreen went over this concept.
A lot of it has to do with one’s belief of a soul (consciousness) and if it is connected or seprated from the physical body.
Also
This is the first time I’ve seen Wak just sitting on the bench.
What. Does. It. MEAN?

I think there is an elaborate game of hide-and-seek going on here. Tag, Giambi’s i- oh, wait. :(

I always wondered why teams didn't do stuff like that. Just give 10000 tickets away to schools/community centers etc.
Just to get people inside to buy stuff.
I gather the suggestion was made to the Yankees.
They weren’t interested.

Well if we are going by exceptions to the general rule, then you throw the whole stereotyping system out of whack.
I could then say that prepubescent upper middle class blonde girls are serial rapists because there has probably been one in history.

You just have to invent a few new words, and make sure they are in your thesis title.

Scufflenoggin, Curfarfignugget and Scatlapper have my syllables.
If they don’t accept those words, that would be fuckdiculous.
...and now I'm here
Those sound like characters in CATS.
And on that note, my next cat will be named “Fuckdiculous”. Because what veterinarian wouldn’t want ME as a customer?
~I'm on the DA~
And we all say
“Oh well I never, was there ever, a cat so clever as Magical Mr. Scatlapper”
...and now I'm here
Also, I was going to name my dog "dumbass"
So I could be like “Come here dumbass” and when someone turned around I could say “no, not you dumbass, I was talking to my DOG dumbass.”

Science is about incremental discovery.
The only way to support subsequent theories is to have a scientific foundation for your current hypothesis. Tell your professor that if he expects you to continue your analysis to AOL online poll voters and lower middle class sports bloggers, he should let you continue your research unimpeded.

I'm debating a study on the merits of
Standing on street corners whilst covered in maple syrup, mustard, and my own sick, and reciting the lyrics to “Disco Inferno” in the style of Ken Keasey.
Street corners mainly, because they kicked me out of Starbuck’s.

Maybe the intuitive Sweeney realizes that Joh is uncomfortable with a gentle, yet, all-enveloping hug.
And so honors his ‘personal space’ issues.

Hmmm.
You have a point. But Sweeney appeals to me as a hug-or-die kinda guy. Johjima better watch his back.

And the stadium PA in Oakland sounds like a AAA stadium.

I used to have an mp3 of this, but I don't know what happened to it.
It has to exist on the internet someplace.
Whoa whoa whoa
what?!
The mp3 is probably gonna take forever to find, but can someone give me the context or something?
What year? What were they talking about before?
Details!
During a commercial break sometime during the 2005 season, Niehaus exclaimed:
"Let’s see this big fucker come in and walk the world."
I will offer shameful and/or illegal sexual favors

Yes, it is

According to Drayer, he is sporting a faux-hawk under that hat.

Does he have enough hair for that?
He’s got a little tail thing in the back on top, but long enough for a faux hawk…?

I kind of want Aardsma to give up 3 HRs in the bottom of the 9th just for the hell of it.

Perhaps it would be wiser to show the stadium view from the opposite side.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
According to Wikipedia, the capacity for baseball is only ~35,000.
They must not be including the upper deck out in center field.
Even more amazing, the stadium was originally constructed for $25.5 million. Then it was renovated for $200 million in 1996. Wouldn’t they have been better off demolishing and starting over at that price?
What's funny is the renovation is what made it so bad.
It was pretty back before they demolished the view by building that disgusting thing in center field.
OT....but this game is boring...
I love that commercial that’s for some educational shit but really it seems more like a ploy to put a teeny looking girl with a tight shirt and tiny shorts on TV. I’ve always found it odd and interesting at the same time.
NOTHING

If I could pick only one game this season to skip, this would probably be it.

I know it's like everytime I watch him play he's like Chris Davis with the bat launching 400 footers but can't make contact to save his life.
You got slurved!
I'm terrified to think if we should even try and "fix" him
I see him being a .270/.360/.500 guy, if he can fix his BABIP and LD%, but it seems like he gets “scared” at the plate and just swings as hard as he can.
Hell, if he can give me .250/.330/.475, I’ll bat him 6th till the cows come home
