GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

My pity for the Orioles has just gone out the window

by Allen Wu on Apr 19, 2010 8:54 PM PDT reply actions  

Hey it's Mike Reilly.

Always a joy to see him.

FUCK THE ANGELS!

Funny. I am listening to game via MLB At Bat

and working and didn’t even realize Fister was on a no-no bid. Good work by Dave and crew.

Fister > Snell ???

Pineiro is getting on my nerves now.

Mitigating a hilariously poor showing by the Angels offense against Dontrelle Willis

by Matthew on Apr 19, 2010 8:56 PM PDT reply actions  

I'm probably not going to enjoy watching him pitch against us

Though thankfully we aren’t as free-swinging as we’ve been in the past.

If Bad League shows up my good mood will go away in a hurry.

I figured out the jinx guys...

My friend is at the game, and right before he gave up the hit a lady behind him said the cursed words…

I told him to punch her in the face.

Someone should hold a "no-hitter" contest.

The person who says no-hitter closest to the time of the first hit wins.

by ThundaPC on Apr 19, 2010 9:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Agreed

Can we please get Rob Johnson out of this ballclub?

by Ef the yankees on Apr 19, 2010 9:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Um...
Seattle Mariners
Bats continue to come alive…Jack Wilson has 2 doubles tonight, his 1st time with 2 extra-base hits in a game since 8/1/09 at Texas.

I’m always disappointed when “hey look at this stat!” things are like “oh really? that’s it?”

by lailaihei on Apr 19, 2010 9:02 PM PDT reply actions  

He didn't play very much at the end of last season.

And it’s only 2 weeks into this season… so yeah, that’s pretty stupid.

by ScottBrowne on Apr 19, 2010 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

What's hilarious is that tonight that will be looked at as a great Loafie hit.

Because the entire difference between that ball and the double play grounder he hit earlier on was about 5 feet.

by Johnny Slick on Apr 19, 2010 9:03 PM PDT reply actions  

I intended to.

Then my laptop broke and things got out of hand.

I missed earlier in the game

Has Mike Reilly manifested his preference for a Mariner loss yet?

Wiggington stopped him

Oh.

Didn’t watch the game yesterday.

My mistake

I missed yesterdays game and by all accounts it was boring so I didn’t bother re-watching after checking out LL.

by edddgar on Apr 19, 2010 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

But normally.

Completely agree. We just kind of burned threw everyone yesterday.

by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 19, 2010 9:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

Colome threw like 40 pitches yesterday.

I think League is the only one besides Aardsma that didn’t pitch yesterday.

You know guys

You don’t need to curse at a guy for saying he doesn’t like Dave Sims. He’s an announcer. People won’t like him. It’s fine.

by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 19, 2010 9:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

There are many worse announcers, though.

Like on this same team. Rick Rizzs. And whereas no ballplayer is going to care about this site, I bet Dave Sims might come on here, see a bad comment and get sad and quit to sell hats. Maybe not.

by Johnny Slick on Apr 19, 2010 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree with you

but there’s disagreeing, there’s piling on, and there’s completely unnecessarily and aggressively piling on.

by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 19, 2010 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not that I don't do this myrelf all the time

But this is probably where the whole group think reputation comes from. Like we kind of drive away people who mildly disagree with people who love by jumping all over them for unpopular opinions.

by OlSalty on Apr 19, 2010 9:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's pretty easy to tell the difference

Irrational hatred for a player or broadcaster? Not a big deal, let it go.

Belligerant, insulting, ignorant poster who never cared to read the rules of the site or what it’s about before they started jumping all over people themselves for “not really understanding the game” or whatever? Probably not going to end up a productive commenter.

by OlSalty on Apr 19, 2010 9:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Rizzs isn't on TV though.

So it’s good for watching the game and hell on road trips

by Smegmalicious on Apr 19, 2010 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

We get mad when people make fun of Milton Bradley.

What’s the difference? Sure Bradley’s a player, but Sims “interacts” with us more often.

AHAHAHAHA ROB JOHNSON

Rob Johnson is so much more fun to watch when the team is winning large.

by Johnny Slick on Apr 19, 2010 9:11 PM PDT reply actions  

I hate two kinds of the Mariners.

One, Annoying Mariners, two, Boring Mariners.

Can we please get Rob Johnson out of this ballclub?

by Ef the yankees on Apr 19, 2010 9:11 PM PDT reply actions  

I'd recommed watching Hanshin once in a while, it's a nice change.

Also you get unexpected joys like finding out Randy Messenger plays in Japan now. And if you’re really lucky you’ll see him give up a grand slam.

by Eyeball Kid on Apr 19, 2010 9:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh Comon Guillen

Could have tied that game up against the A’s

Jack has had a pretty awesome night.

3 hits, and great D. I am pleased.

If we bat around twice this inning...

…and Jack Wilson hits a HR and a triple in those AB’s, he will have hit for the cycle.

Careful

The good comment police will arrest you for your blaming of Sims and contrary opinion.

And it should stay there.

If you have a problem with your treatment, bring it up to the mods. Don’t be passive aggressive about it.

Don’t worry about it.

Ok here's a hypothetical guys and gals.

What if MLB players were given the option that they could wear shorts as a uniform? What would you think?

by M'sFanatic on Apr 19, 2010 9:27 PM PDT reply actions  

You know what the most awesome thing is about that outfit?

It’s not even the shorts. It’s the MASSIVE collar. It’s like they were saying “hey, we are sort of dressed like the 1880s but with 1970s FLAIR OH YEAH”.

There's a reason they wear pants

But if the shorts they wore were the ones Ichiro wore in spring training, I’m in favor of it

Potential scraped knees while sliding.

We won’t get any update on Gutierrez until after game, apparently. I’m working on game story and didn’t see him wince as he scored in 7th.

I haven’t been able to get your read on the situation yet

Please God don’t do this to us faithful Mariner fans!

There are worse things than a Gutinjury. Not many, but they exist.

They're in bed with the cable companies...

You’re lucky you don’t have to watch a 3 hour lecture on how stealing is wrong before it starts.

And it’s the same bullshit that means that you can’t watch a Mariners game on Saturday afternoon, because Fox is the only one allowed to broadcast games at that time…and they want to show the Yankees play instead.

by Sidi on Apr 19, 2010 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

I can believe it...

Center field seats were absolutely empty.

I think we’re hitting the delayed reaction to a crappy team, plus a crappy economy. Plus people not caring about Griffey after last season wasn’t the last. A good pennant chase could change it, but if things doing go well this season ticket sales are will probably take a dive.
