Nah he's a great player.

I just wish he was a great player somewhere else.

Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

The Griffey out at the wall was hilarious.

I bet there were at least 10 people loosening their belts.

So why is Colome up if he's never been more than a two-inning guy and is a replacement level reliever at best?

40-man roster probably plays a part, but why do we even have him at all? Why aren’t we running Olson or someone out there who can actually chew through innings?

by Decatur on Apr 11, 2010 1:58 PM PDT reply actions  

Luck!

Also, being served up with poor pitches.

I was under the assumption he wasn't that good

perhaps I should put that assumption up for further review

Matthew, I believe you are mistaken.

The Rangers are playing the MARINERS, and the score is 7-2. Also, this really has very little bearing on the playoffs.

I don't know why, and I've hated myself for it, but I've always liked Budweiser a bit. So I'll hope for that.

Though if they really want my business they’ll make it Mac and Jacks. I’ll buy season tickets.

by CapSea on Apr 11, 2010 3:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm willing to pay for the convenience.

I usually have to come straight from work for games which doesn’t leave a lot of time to go to the store.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 11, 2010 3:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

Alright I guess I'm in the minority of hyper-cheap game-goers.

I bring my own empty water bottle and gatorade or lemonade mix for a drink and I always make or buy my own food to go.

This is still cool, though, I might actually buy food more than one or two games this season.

by lailaihei on Apr 11, 2010 3:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

If you're the minority, you're not the only one.

I’ll bring my own beer to games, set it on the ground and use a thin tube I bought from Home Depot as a straw.

I’ll also bring a couple Vietnamese sandwiches in to munch on.

by Double06 on Apr 11, 2010 3:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

If the beer is even semi-drinkable I'm so there.

But you’re probably right, it’s going to be Coors and Miller Lite.

I fucking hate Eric Byrnes so much.

Actually I hate all of our position players aside from Ichiro, Figgins Guti and Bradley. And all of our pitchers aside from Felix, Lee, Bedard, Kelley and League. And Maybe Texiera. So I actively hate half the roster. We’re a really unlikable team.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 11, 2010 3:11 PM PDT reply actions  

Which is funny because many of us spent all winter

after the Silva trade talking about how we didn’t have anyone left to really hate on the team.

hate Silva even though he’s not on the team, actually

by barabuski on Apr 11, 2010 3:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well, gee,

since I said “really hate on the team” I guess that wouldn’t really be relevant, would it?

700% better than RJ.

Even though he is hitless.

by the other side on Apr 11, 2010 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

To elaborate

On Lookout Landing we try not to judge people based on small samples, ever, especially when they have demonstrated reasons to assume they will have success. Players that have recently sucked (Byrnes) that spend 3 days sucking, though, are fair game unless there is good reason to believe they should be much better.

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on Apr 11, 2010 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions   2 recs

Yeah I guess

I just don’t see very many players on this team as being “unlikable”. Aaron may hate them, but the only players I would really see that way are guys like Rob Johnson, Ian Snell, Eric Byrnes, maybe Sean White

by Griffin Cooper on Apr 11, 2010 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

The only players I really don't like are Johnson and White.

Sweeney and Griffey are annoying, but whatever it’s not their fault.
All the rest are somewhere between okay and liked.

I like Snell and Byrnes a lot, I don’t know why many people hate them (aside from their lack of talent).

by lailaihei on Apr 11, 2010 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

I still have some shred of hope left for Snell

But that will be gone quickly if he keeps putting up turkeys like today.

Yeah, that's rough too

I’ve just noticed that everything seems to be drifting over the heart of the plate, and he’s getting crushed out there. Throwing strikes is nice, but not so much when they’re extremely hittable strikes

by Griffin Cooper on Apr 11, 2010 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm willing to forgive guys like Kotchman for cold starts, Moore for being green, and general rustiness elsewhere

But yeah, Sweeney, Johnson, Griffey and Byrnes can bugger off.

And when they are happening, the team purposely throws plays into action that ruin any chance of it mattering.

You'd have to be blind and deaf not to know Milton Bradley.

The media has painted a perfectly horrendous picture of him. And that’s the problem. If they do know him, they know THAT Milton Bradley and that’s all they’re ever going to know.
