LL Podcast

by Matthew on Mar 31, 2010 2:00 PM PDT in Lookout Landing Podcasts

AHHHHHHHHHHHH It's a podcast!

Topics this time include Cliff Lee's treatment (wherein I likely botch some details), the Mariners schedule in April, the starting lineup's predicted home run totals and lots of other things.

We dealt with some spotty internet service in this one so if/when you notice some buffering-type stutters, that is not actually one of us. We're not, like, robots. Also, I have been working with noise gates for the processing, so hopefully all the feedback issues should be resolved. Technology is wonderful once you figure out how to get it to do what you want it to do.

Was that intro music I heard?

by katal on Mar 31, 2010 2:06 PM PDT reply actions

Nope.

by RunningFool on Mar 31, 2010 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions

It sounded like a single drum beat.

Matthew: It’s podcast time everyone!
Intro theme: bop!
Jeff: Hot diggity-damn!

by katal on Mar 31, 2010 2:09 PM PDT up reply actions

I think that was a snort.

by RunningFool on Mar 31, 2010 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions

Even if it wasn't, I propose that "bop!" be the new theme music

Re: PRP

It sounds a lot like blood doping, which is illegal for runners. (For those that don’t know, blood doping is taking out some of your blood at the beginning of the season and freezing it, then training like normal while your body makes more blood, then thawing your blood and injecting it back into yourself before an important competition, hence you have a bunch of extra blood and can run faster.) The reason it is illegal is because if you do it incorrectly (for example, by not making it the right temperature before re-injecting it) you could die.
So this is probably why some people might think badly of the “experimental” PRP.

It's not the same at all

The amount of blood they take to enrich is pretty small from what I’ve heard, and it’s not removed for a long period of time. It’s also not injected into the blood stream, it is just injected locally around the wound. For example, with some necrotic snake bites or brown recluse bites, sometimes cavities in the flesh can develop that are very difficult for the body to heal naturally. That’s one thing they’re using this procedure to help with, as they can simply fill in the cavity with this platelet enriched plasma and the wound will heal much, much more quickly.

I would be listening to this now but iPhones iTunes sucks.

Your last cast doesn’t even show up yet.

A poll I would like to see:

How many HRs will the Mariners hit this year?

by RunningFool on Mar 31, 2010 2:58 PM PDT reply actions

I like how we talk about Garko in AAA and French in the bullpen

Outdated!

It does since the lack of an 's' on evening avoids indicating a repeating series

So you're going to post all of our podcasts on a Tuesday evening

by Jeff Sullivan on Mar 31, 2010 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm foreseeing a random Tuesday evening in August where all of a sudden there will be 20 podcasts posted.

"LARGENT! UNLOADED! and he got the ball!

Less worse = better

Right?

by niceguysfinishlast on Mar 31, 2010 4:18 PM PDT reply actions

Very good!

When there's polls like the one you mention about if the Bavasi move was good, what's the point?

If you know one answer is right and clear to everyone, why poll?

by SethGrandpa on Mar 31, 2010 4:27 PM PDT reply actions

We like to find out what percentage of you are retarded

by Jeff Sullivan on Mar 31, 2010 4:31 PM PDT up reply actions 3 recs

Judging by the last poll, 1%.

Now with more lemon bars!

11 MINUTES

11 MINUTES on till the Mariners play the ultimate April Fools day joke ever on its fans, and of course inspired by “The Kid.” Jack Z and Don Wak. will hold a emergency conference at 12:01 AM informing reporters that Cliff Lee’s arm was amputated in a freak kabuki accident with Ichiro!. And that he will never be able to pitch a game in his life.

After being asked why Ichiro! and Lee of all people be performing Kabuki at the local theatre, Ichiro! only responce is that his private life should remain privite and that he would have to ask his dog permission if its ok for him to tell the story. As the media sits there in awe Cliff lee and Ken Griffey Jr walk in saying that the whole thing was a prank, and not only that they have been trolling us the whole time and Cliff Lee’s arm is in perfect shape and Lee will be ready to pitch the day after Felix.
