Andy Pettitte has the best tunnel-vision in post-season history.
I guess we won’t be seeing any throws to first tonight then?
I can't believe I just cheered a Michael Young hit.
This series is truly testing. A combination of TBS and the Yankees crowd is making me want Texas to win despite what my brain tells me.
Dude, it's Cliff Lee day. It's OK.

I'm rooting for Texas to win 2 in a row and then drop the last 3 so the Yankees go to the Series
Hopefully, Cliff Lee will get the loss after throwing a no-hitter in which a Michael Young error allows the only run to score.
Yankee Stadium donger only.

In last years BMO
Texas, Seattle and SF became the three super powers of baseball. the AL East became a distant memory.
To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.
The similarities in the last BMO playoffs are pretty striking
Rangers, Phillies, Giants and Twins all featured with the Rangers beating the Phillies in the World Series.
Of course, the actual Rangers don’t have me running them so I’m not too concerned.
I think I might have stopped playing by then

Thats one more run than Lee needs to win, amirite?

Federico Garcia Lorca...
Here I’ll just type the damned thing up, and someone can subject line minimize it if it’s intrusive… Not my favorite translation, but it was the book in front of me…
The Dawn
The New York dawn has
four columns of mud
and a hurricane of black doves
that paddle in putrescent waters.
The New York dawn grieves
along the immense stairways,
seeking amidst the groins
spikenards of fine-drawn anguish.
The dawn comes and no one receives it in his mouth
for there no morn or hope is possible.
Occasionally, coins in furious swarms
perforate and devour abandoned children.
The first to come out understand in their bones
that there will be no paradise nor amours stripped of leaves:
they know they are going to the mud of figures and laws,
to artless games, to fruitless sweat.
The light is buried under chains and noises
in impudent challenge of rootless science.
Through the suburbs sleepless people stagger,
as though just delivered from a shipwreck of blood.

Tabasco on pizza sounds terrible.
...and now I'm here
Any time fat people endorse food, it makes me simultaneously desire it (opulence) and question its nutritional benefits.
And I don’t care how much weight you lost on NutriSystem, Mike Golic, you are a ~50-year-old former NFL defensive tackle. There’s no way you’re not out of shape.

It depends on the pizza.
On the whole I think I’d rather go with the crushed red pepper.

This is my belief, yes.
Spicy things are great, but Tabasco is not the right choice.
...and now I'm here
In the Philippines they put blandish 'hot sauce' on all pizza.
It’s kind of nasty. Pizza Hut and Shakey’s are the only ones that don’t automatically bundle it.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
Again, spicyness is great.
But Tabasco has a flavor, and that flavor is not complementary to pizza. MAYBE it is on meat pizza, but I don’t eat meat so I wouldn’t know. It would not taste good on cheese pizza.
...and now I'm here
I'm thinking it could work...
from the vegetarian angle if the tomato sauce was a bit sharper in its acidity or if there were onions or marinated peppers, but I wouldn’t use it on something that had a lot of cheese on it, no.

Debatable, and likely too subjective to be proven.
My immediate taste response to the idea is ew.
...and now I'm here
Yes, in general white guys here dislike the hot sauces they put on pizza,
but it’s not a slam dunk. And many guys who’ve been here for a few years actually learn to like it, so what do I know.
I’m with you that spicy=good. And if the pizza is terrible, then it’s a good way to mask the horror. I just don’t think you can do a whole lot better for the overall aroma/flavor combo than crushed red pepper and parmesan. One of the big local problems with using parmesan is they don’t have a strong dairy system here.
Their calcium intake comes from sardine bones.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
No risk of pregnancy that way.
...and now I'm here
Good point.

Well, I know with eel they don't bother to de-bone it.
But there are other preparation methods, like in Japanese restaurants I’ve had deep fried bones from smaller fish and it’s a little odd at first, but it’s not bad. I didn’t expect that they’d have the same preparation methods in the Philippines so I was curious as to what they did.

Yes, they eat them whole.
They crave ‘em, too. There just isn’t a suitable substitute for calcium, and they obviously don’t get enough as it is, with a national height of like 5’5" for men and 4’11" for women.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
Makes sense.
The body is designed to crave things like that if there’s some kind of nutrient that’s deficient in the environment.

I think it's more of a matter of base, with regards to Tabasco.
Vinegar on pizza without the benefit of the pepperoccini’s natural flavor makes Tabasco ew. Other peppers just don’t work. I wouldn’t put Habanero on pizza, because the tastes clash too much.
...and now I'm here
The only peppers I like other than crushed red is grilled bell peppers.
But thats on my homemade stuff.

It surprises me how many people I've seen wandering around NYC in Mariners gear.
Sometimes it feels a little weird talking to Yankees fans about it, but a few of them still respect us, or are mad because we were the thing that stood in the way of Mattingly getting a ring. Other times it’s just “oh you have a team, that’s cute”. But most of the people I talk baseball with don’t have quality teams anyway, so they understand.

Johermyn Chavez has been tearing it up in a handful of games in Venezuela. Alex Liddi has also been respectable there. Cortes, Robles, and others are still just getting started.
In Arizona, Ackley sprained his finger in the second game of the season. Tenbrink started hitting the ball again today. All of our pitchers are throwing hard and are generally awesome.

Anyone rising in potential in your eyes?
...and now I'm here
It's only a short time span, but a few guys are off to good starts.
Chavez in particular, last I saw he was hitting .400 with half his hits going for extras and more walks than Ks. The relievers in Arizona have also been outstanding. Fields seems to be getting back on track mechanically and not overthrowing as much as he had, and Wilhelmsen, who has the great story anyway, has eight Ks in four innings now. He could move very quickly depending on what they decide they want to do with him.

Wilhelmsen... Don't remember ever hearing that name before.
...and now I'm here
Tom Wilhelmsen.
Basically he was a Brewers prospect, drafted back in 2002, played one year in their system then dropped out, smoked a lot of pot, did some traveling, did some bartending, and then at one point a couple years back he decided that he was sick of drinking and smoking all the time and wanted to try baseball again. It turned out he could still pitch, like mid-90s on the gun pitch, but he got injured after the Brewers re-signed him and naturally, what with Zduriencik around, he came to us next. He didn’t get out of the Midwest League this year and is holding his own against guys that were mostly double and triple-A, albeit out of the ’pen.

The point is, if our FO and upper management feels like they're
in a dog-fight every single year, they’ll have to push harder than they have. And then when rivals fall on their faces, we are in a position to capitalize. The way it is, we aren’t in a position to capitalize on anything.
We’ve been in a position to provide a family-friendly night at the ballpark, and hydro races. That’s about it.
Without Felix and Ichiro, this team really would be the Pirates, and that is despicable.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
The team sucked because they had Bill Bavasi running them for five years.
During that time they had the dynasty or whatever you want to call it that the Angels had and some occasionally good A’s teams to compete with. The team has tried to be family-friendly for years, before they started to suck again. Having a team with more talent and newly found money can’t do anything but hurt us. If the front office wasn’t already motivated to try to put the best team out there possible then they shouldn’t have their job. To say they need to have better competition to stay motivated to put together a good team seems like an odd argument.
by Mariner John on Oct 18, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I'm not really suggesting that having stronger rivals
is likely to make us better. But it will absolutely show the differences between successful and unsuccessful approaches. I’m just sick of being lied to and snookered for so many years, when it’s pretty obvious that this organization hasn’t done what it takes to be truly competitive since Gillick left.
At this point, I just want it to be clear. And if our fate is to be the Blue Jays West, I can probably live with that for awhile.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
Yeah, I think we're sort of saying the same thing.
I don’t think this administration is as wildly incompetent as the Bavasi one. I’d rather be good than bad but I’d rather have the goodness result in playoffs than frustrating 3rd place.

Rangers fan. I fucking love you guys for giving us Lee. Not here to gloat.
Smoak will be awesome. He’s a good dude. I’m just so fucking excited to be in the MF ALCS right now. HOLY SHIT. I love you guys. Mariners fans kick ass. Please don’t ban me. I love all.
Don't listen to me. I'm a fucking moron.
And you'll be able to root for the Mariners...
when they draft Matt Purke.

Good point!
I can attest to Purke’s awesomeness. He’s incredible.

It's one of the things that allowed us to maintain some faint hope towards the end of the season.
I don’t know if it’s going to be Cole or Purke at this point, but I would be quite happy with either.

What's amazing is.
That given the ALCS match-up, the M’s were given a choice to take the Yankees package or the Rangers package for Cliff Lee.
I’m happy with the Rangers’ haul….and the post-season results!
If Lueke pitches for the M's, then I'll stand by my original approval of the Texas deal.
If they ditch him and don’t acquire equivalent value in return, I’ll probably moan for awhile about not getting Montero.

Don't you mean a ".gif"?
I once accused Robert of being Dewey N, because I didn't know it was Fogel. I suck with context clues.

It’s all in good fun.

Haha, I know.
It made me giggle.

Griffey would be dead by third if that was this year.
