Fun fact about the first pic
The Safeco teal coats were coming to throw us out as chas took that pic.

That was EXCELLENT.

Also, names:

jtopps is at the bottom.  Otherwise, from left to right: PositivePaul, Deanna, Matthew, etowncoug, Bretticus, Gomez, tworsandtwols, Graham

RAuLLY FRIES OF LONDON!

that's about as much of me as they showed on TV.  I am not particularly cute or TV-worthy.

this is the girl who actually won the rally fries.  I can't feel bad about losing to a little kid, and the fact that the mlb.tv broadcast has them going "raully fries?  hahaha.  that's a play on Raul's theme song, see..." means that at least it wasn't a completely unfunny joke :)

After Raul watched that HR
Adam Jones would've camped under that.

Adam Jones would have backflipped and caught that.

Adam Jones would've backflipped, stood on the wall with his hands, and caught the ball with his feet.

And kicked Chris Ray in the face afterward.

I think Gomez then decided that it'd have been 4 leadoff homers.  Which I thought was more ridiculous.

by BrettJMiller on Jul 17, 2007 1:00 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes
Jason Ellison would have been inspired by Adam Jones' pure greatness to make the last out of his respective innings at the plate each time, so that Adam Jones could leadoff each AB and go yard like Rickey.

no way!
that was awesome!  the best part was the little kids  to our right and a few rows up who thought it was cool so they started doing the Rally Dance with us.

I know it sucked that Beltre GIDPed after it, but I would like to point out that the Mariners scored the winning 2 runs in the three batters AFTER that.  So it wasn't a total flop.

Kids.
Heh.  

I'm probably in like 5-10 of their mom's pictures when we were all dancin'.  Who says Joe Blanton can't dance.  

They were copying pretty much everything we were doing, much to their folks' amusement (well, they seemed amused the more the game rolled on).  Hey, if it means more George Sherrill and Adam Jones fans, then, I'm not going to complain.

You people really take the cake
...the cake made of pure depravity, baked in the oven of ignorance.

You go into a section with tons of families and you yell and scream about every rookie, prospect and minor leaguer you can think of.  What message does that send?  It tells kids that they don't need to work hard.  They just need to be young, and people will clamor to have them replace gritty veterans.  You're gutting the protestant work ethic, you communists.   Students replacing teachers, passengers replacing pilots, etc.  Do you see how deep this goes?

Speaking of which, I saw one of you people brought some books to gave away for free.  Everyone just wanted 'Ball Four' which apparently deals with drug use and alcoholism.  Figures.  Maybe you guys were trying to find out where you could "score" some "greenies" eh?  I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of YOU people who doctored Neifi Perez's sample.  Amphetemines, playing with pee...yep, sounds like this group.  

She also wanted free fries.  To each according to their need, eh Comrade?   Why don't you go to a communism game instead of a baseball game?!

And the dancing!  One of them kept dancing, and all the kids in the section flocked to him.  From several rows and sections they came, wanting to be near his flailing arms and gyrating...well, you get the idea.  Where were the parents?  To top it off, he started performing dances made popular by 'Pee Wee Herman'.  "Wait, the same Pee Wee Herman who was arrested for touching himself in public?"  The very same.   Was this all part of the plan Mr. FancyDancer?  

If you guys can't leave Jose Vidro alone - on a night he was sadly absent from the line-up - then I don't know what to say about you.  When I go to a game, I don't want to hear about 'rookies' - I want to hear where the local guys went to high school!  Did Ellison go to my high school?  Oh, wow, he went to Bloomquist's high school!  How about that?  They should rename it Grit High, or maybe they could change their nickname to the 'Hustlers'.  See, that's adding something to the game, not taking it away like you lot.  

I want the M's to know that these pictures can be used to identify the miscreants.  In my daily letter to Jose Vidro, I will include a brief description of these so-called 'fans' and perhaps ask if he could talk to Guillen, you know, to see what might be done outside the usual channels.   My patience is at an end, and my letter was stained with teardrops.

Well, I guess we sorta did.

We did, after all, have a semi-silent non-violent sit-in for the "Free Adam Jones" cause, and then when they threatened us w/legal action (more like the laws of nature -- like, say, turning off the stadium lights, leaving us in darkness), we took our cause outside the stadium and held up our "Free Adam Jones" placard in silent vigil in front of the stadium.

Except, well, we weren't exactly silent.  But we did get some encouragement from a M's fan from Portland (who was at least 5 sheets to the wind) who saw him play when the R's played the Beavers.

AK1984 is a persona I adopt - it's satire.  It's sort of the ultimate in valuing prospects over veterans, and it's something I get i kick out of.

It's so self-evidently idiotic and self-defeating, you know?   Oh, let's send one veteran to team X for two MORE prospects, and let's use one of our prospects here, and then use one of the new prospects there and.....profit!  I'm sorry, I crack myself up sometimes.

One thing that struck my mind

I just thought of that this morning
I wonder how the LL Night hijinks would be received in Tacoma or Everett, where they'd be a lot more relatively prominent.

Then again, everyone knows the big league players.  Can we come up with the same sorts of references and smack talk for, say, Ogui Diaz or Brant Ust? I probably could, but y'all may need to brush up and prepare.

I think Rick Ankiel is the easy target, given his demonstrably unstable mental state.  

Um, Mark "Craig Griffey" Worrell?  
Tagg "Nice fucking name" Bozied.  Or "Watch out for home plate!" as Tagg once utterly destroyed his knee after stamping on Cheney's home plate after hitting a walk-off grand slam.  Tore multiple ligaments, and basically ended his prospect status in about as stupid a fashion as it gets (non-Grammatica division).

I was at that game
Tagg once utterly destroyed his knee after stamping on Cheney's home plate after hitting a walk-off grand slam

I was sitting right by home plate at that game (it was actually in Portland), and you've never seen a crowd go from complete jubilation to utter horror quite so fast.  That was not good.

To me, Rick Ankiel gets a pass because he completely reinvented himself as a ballplayer after his pitching adventures, and he's actually now a pretty solid prospect after working his way up the chain.  Again.

Yeah
I'm actually loving the Rick Ankiel story.  It's about the most unlikely thing I've seen this year, and it is pretty awesome.
Still, I think giving the opposing team's star player the business is above board.  
I'm actually a pretty quiet fan - I'm just trying to help the rather more boisterous members of this little community.

Bozied's knee - what was it, did he rip the MCL/ACL simultaneously?  
Second funniest MiLB injury - Conor Jackson, while playing with Tucson, wasn't playing, and was making a phone call at Cheney outside of the visitor's 'clubhouse' which is that little portable past the LF wall.   A HR ball cleared the fence, and almost knocked out Jackson.  His teammates put out a little outline of a body in athletic tape the next day.  

by marc w on Jul 17, 2007 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bozeid
Yeah, he ripped both simultaneously.  I don't recall if it was ever conclusively proven, or admitted, but there were whispers at the time that it was a teammate-aided injury.  

They all went out to greet him at home plate, and as he came down from the jump he made as he approached the plate, they all closed in on him, as you do in these situations; rumor had it that one of them got shoved into him sideways (not intentionally, but there were 20 guys at the plate all crowding for a piece of him) as he landed, and that's when things went rrrrrrrrrip.

He should have slid.
I've always wanted to see someone do that after a walk-off.   Just come barreling towards home full speed when everyone's gathered around the plate and slide in!

25 HRs after June
And that's playing in the humid, offense-unfriendly portion of the PCL.  If not for Dave Duncan's kid or the lack of a DH spot, Ankiel would totally belong on that Cards roster as a big bat.  I had no idea 3 years ago that I'd say that with a straight face.

"I had no idea 3 years ago
that I'd say that with a straight face".

No kidding. I though it was nice of the Cards to let him try to be an OF after his historic meltdown, but I never expected that it would turn out this well!

Usually it's the other way around, like Rafael Soriano, where he couldn't cut it as a hitter, so they made him a pitcher because of his strong arm.

Rick Ankiel was one of my most favorite players
before the meltdown.

If he had options, he'd be in STL right now playing CF while Edmonds is out.

I dunno, he's a fantastic athlete, and has tremendous power, but pitching for so long might have retarded his development beyond repair.

I'm hoping like hell he can make the bigs and, at least, be the strong half of a platoon. it'd be awesome, made for movies type stuff.

To be fair
he's been significantly more dangerous on the road, and he hasn't played in the biggest pitcher's park in the circuit yet.  

And Memphis has positive park factors for HRs, though not runs.  Weird.

I don't think you're dissing Duncan
