Baseball thread

Watching ken burns’ Doc for the umpteenth time. Hope springs eternal and luckily so does baseball.


Rams win the super bowl btw

I’ll bet hank and Stam that the A’s will be better than the giants and mariners.

The Giants better spend some money. The outfield is abysmal, pitchin in disarray,and seems like the whole front office is getting a shakedown. Good. The bandwagon fans got spoiled thinking we would just keep winning every even year. May never see another championship in my lifetime. Just ask Mariner fan.

Guess I must be getting old. Enjoy the game, hope the M's win, but simply like a good game. In the sunshine, on real grass. Same with football and futbol. Love to see them win, but there is always next year.

Excellent post.

Honestly, I was so pissed at the M's annual late season let down that I had to step away from anything baseball related.

I'm sure the team has gone into another rebuilding mode after the Paxton trade. I have no idea what they've done or not done and I find it hard to care any longer.

Don't bet Hank.

My Dad interviews with the Dodgers next month, fingers crossed he gets the job!
Would be great to spend spring training in AZ!

when was the first one? Team way overachieved last year, no way it was sustainable for this season.

rumor is that sf is in the Bryce harper sweepstakes. They shouldn't because nobody in the SF line up can protect him. He might walk 200+ times per year.

No. But I know you’re being sarcastic

Bryce Harper, who cares?

SF is too cheap to pick up Harper #1,and #2 they have a lot more issues than just one guy coming in. I don't like Harper. It tickled me pink when Papelbon had him by the throat and shook him like a rag doll for being a disrespectful punk. I think he's a cancer. Giants need pitching in that ballpark ,and guys that can get on base. Our outfield needs a major overhauling. Bryce Harper isn't the guy.

sad day for the A's. their top draft, Kyler Murray, opted to try to be an NFL qb. I wish him the best.

lol thanks stam.

It's ok to play with the A's. You get a couple years and then go sign for millions with a real contender.

If you want to be RICH, machado to Yankees Harper to Phillies

Whatevs. Phils can have him. Padres are front runners for machado.

Machado isn’t going to the padres. Book it

Lmao my bad mr vapid. Machado did go to the padres. Good for San Diego!

I miss chuck s.

He brought us 3 championships and is a class act,hall of fame manager. His health hasn't been good the last couple of years. Saw it coming,the end of an era is near. Padres got Machado,but they will still lose. My feeling is frisco is gonna build up that farm system and I have a weird feeling we see Bumgarner in a Yankee uniform.

Where did he go? J F C I liked that guy.

I miss Chucky too. Alas, he was just a normal, regular, level headed dude and the DS just wore him down....or something like that.

10 years $300M for Machado. That's insane. He's never going to be able to afford living in SoCal on such a paltry salary.

So happy to see Cano gone!

Harper hasn't signed up yet. Scott Boras is trying to snake his way to a 400 mil deal I guess. I really doubt the Giants would pay that much for this dude. I can see them overpaying for some more over the hill utility outfielders a la Denard Span/Andrew McKutcheon.

Good it's perfect for him then when he gets in a big slump those scrub assed fans can throw batteries at him from the bleachers. Fkn scrub. I never wanted that bastard on the Giants the front office wouldn't pay that much anyway. Ok Frisco bring on the old utility players wooooootttttt!!!!

Also,the Giants were just posturing as usual.

Mike Trout will end up with Philly in two years.

Mike Trout is awesome.

This year’s baseball thread will be updated continuously. My goal , as curator of this baseball thread, is to be as topical and as annoying as the drumph threads.

Challenge accepted.

Phillies and Mariners?

That's a very high (er….low) bar to aspire too. Good luck with that.

baseball blog from dwatkins.

Machado was dumb according to the income tax issue with calif. but to be fair, San Diego isn't the worst place to live.

Bryce Harper will make his spring training debut on Saturday with the phillies in clearwater FL.

Cameron Maybin drank too much in Scottsdale on Friday and found himself a DUI. Nice offseason Giants. DUI, domestic abuse, and zero meaningful signings.

Go A's!

god I wish evo knew baseball. maybe he can google it and I can argue with him with actual knowledge instead of google skills.

but he can throw 85 mph I forgot. That is a crock of sh!t btw.

You so mean.

I used to be able to throw fastballs. Probably not so fast any more.

Fish on...

Todd

i know more about baseball than you think...

still have a [Bleeeeep!] ton of cards from the 60s through 2000....

just havent been paying super close attention the last few years, doesnt bother me either...

oh, and i said i did that when i was like 19 or 20... not now... btw

I hooked him now what? Cut the line?

It's not that easy, we've been trying for years. He's like that 10" trout at the kiddie pond with 6 lures stuck in his mouth and all the bystanders point and laugh as people throw [Bleeeeep!] in the water and the little fuker still chases down and inhales everyone's offering.

Oh do regale us....

Can you fvckin' not?

evo could have just said lol good one! I don't know baseball very well nor do I particularly like it.

instead he knows baseball from the 60's to the 2000s. and threw 85 mph as a 19 to 20 year old. Here's the facts with that, if he actually threw that hard a scout would have looked at him or at least his horticulture degree would have been free, mowing down the geeks at seattle U.

Yeah, catch the mail thief, then pop off!

What Evo failed to mention was his 85 mph throw was at the '95 Puyallup Fair using state of the art radar guns. He won a big Giraffe and gave it to Katie, because that's what men do. The Carnie behind the counter was super impressed and offered him a job on the spot. Said he'd never seen anything like it. Called him Roy Hobbs. Evo promptly declined the job offer and then barfed up his double cheese dog riding the teacups. Got in a fight in the parking lot on the way out. Katie had to drive home because he had to stop the bleeding with his Big Johnson tshirt. He showed No Fear that night. True story.

The fair, the radar, and Roy Hobbs. Lmao

you guys are nuts...

You’re a good guy but can you just for once show some humility?

Nick made me lol no less than 3 times in one post.

Good schitt.

Solid work, Nicky.

Now this thread will be continually spammed with recently Googled expert opinion...book it.

I threw 85mph once.

It was my changeup.

Fish on...

Todd

i dont need to google sports...

ask any sports card shop owner in King and Pierce counties who i am, and they know...

Don and DJ's, Brian at the Baseball Card Shoppe, Knutsen was a fvckin prick and NW Sportcards, the West Coast owners are alright, but they will short you on prices.. Mill Creek is alright...

Don is actually one of if not the best around, and ive been going to him since he owned Warlords in the 80s....

like i said, i have enough sh!t around from the 60s through 2017 (football), that i could get any stat i want, without even a hiccup...

thats after selling the 1909 T206 cards, the 1912 T202 cards, and T207 cards, baseball and football cards from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s... basketball cards including Wilt Chamberlain and Johnson, Jordan, Bird, ect second year cards, Mantle cards, Mays cards, Ruth cards (gave a 62 Fleer to my nephew)...

and i still have too much sh!t...



Google....

When I mentioned that there would be freshly Googled "expert" opinions spamming the thread, what in Heaven's name made you think I was speaking about you?



Just like using Google doesn't make someone an expert on anything other than searching Google, owning baseball cards doesn't make anyone an expert on anything other than owning baseball cards...and knowing stats doesn't mean anyone knows shitt about anything.

I hope this helps, but somehow I sincerely doubt it will.

Fish on...

Todd

I have hit 85mph at the batting cages a bunch. Its really really fast. No way can Evo throw that. That speed takes years and years of training and conditioning. The only reason so many guys are throwing so fast these days is a life time of work, something Evo isn’t doing. 85 isn’t fast by pro standards but its fast as fuk and would scare most people having that coming at them. I also hit 95 a bunch and that is a blip. Start swinging during the windup.

Yeah, but did you win a giraffe?

its called paying attention Todd, especially when you are interested in something...

you gain knowledge about players, histories, ect...

with what you just said, basically, reading something, is worthless and pointless and doesnt mean you are an expert, or know anything... (i never said i was an expert at anything BTW)...

so i guess college degrees are basically worthless, because people just read sh!t to get a piece of paper that says they did it...

and im 100 percent certain you were talking about me, only an idiot would see otherwise...

but go ahead and tell me im wrong.... i sincerely dont doubt you will...

If you want to know what I "basically" said, go read it. You have zero chance of understanding most of what I say, and adding your interpretation has a 100% chance of you being even more wrong.

Good luck.

Todd

jesus christ, now you know what ive done in my childhood through teens?

heads up, all i did was played baseball with the other kids from the neighborhood...

a couple of them went on to do some higher level stuff...

the only reason i never played in school, is because my family couldnt afford it... my dad wanted a nice house for his family, and it was expensive back in the early 80s...

oh well, i got good at other things like shooting and fishing...

oh yeah, Griffey used to come and watch us play at Kiwanis Park in Renton, he would be playing football with my friends Mike and Sam and the other monsters from the Highlands...

thats how i got 2 1989 Upper Deck RC cards autographed by him, along with 4 1989 Fleer and 4 1989 Donruss...

all of which were sold to Don and DJ's in Renton...

you fvckin moron, you responded to Nicks post, which was about ME...

god damn, you really need to try to shyster people better, cuz it doesnt work with me....

The most I was ever gunned at was 88mph, though I probably would waiver between about 85 and 90 at my best.

Unfortunately I never was able to learn another pitch well enough, and even 90mph fastballs start looking pretty fat when it's all you can throw.

Got to hit against several guys who could really bring it in college, and not surprisingly the hardest guys to hit against were the proverbial "crafty left handers"...

Fish on...

Todd

impressive! I believe you have thrown 88.

I ran a 4.7 40 in high school and they wanted me to play football. I liked baseball better.

lol

nah, ive said i have met Griffey on multiple occasions multiple times on this board over the last 8 or 9 years... you just have the attention span of a tater tot....

i mean the fvckin guy lived a quarter mile away from me

and i have the right to do whatever i want... i mean sh!t, you do it...

oh wait, thats right... you can, i cant... you met people, i didnt... you can throw 88-90, i cant throw 85...

same sh!t, different day...

guess what?

still dont care stuffer...

baseball cards....the new 401K for the unemployed.
SF

todd is tall. So that's why I can believe 88. leverage.

wasn't 88 mph in back to the future as well?

actually they really arent...

cards from the 90s back never gain any value really... even Mantle RC cards, they stay the same unless someone comes along with a super high graded one like a PSA 9 or 10...

Jordan cards have gone up a bit but they even stalled... during Griffeys time, his cards shot up in price, especially the 89 Upper Deck, but then tanked as they all do... and have remained around 30 dollars (as i said, high grade ones can fetch a higher price, depending on population) for quite some time now....

newer cards on the other hand, can have some decent value to them, but they are mainly relic cards, auto cards, plate cards, numbered cards, ect... regular set cards arent worth much unless they are RC cards, and even then, arent all that valuable...

and they can lose value very quickly depending on the player...

i once bought a pack of Basketball cards and got a Darius Miles RC jersey card, beckett at the time listed it at 600 dollars, Don put it up on Ebay for me and i got 450 for it....

2 years later, it was worth 6 bucks....

you know why I would go fishing with evo? I don't want to fight him anymore I feel bad. but he knows a ton about nothing and it would be a fun 2 hours of just shooting the sh!t. Im sure I will feel differently tomorrow.

I think the Delorean needed to be going 88mph when it received the 1.21 Gigawatts.

Also no Google.



Fish on...

Todd

its DeLorean...

also no Google...

speaking of WPM, Katie can type 200... im not anywhere near that...

The fastest typist in the world in 2018 did 212 max. speed.

The all-time world record is 216.



Google.

No but between you and Hank it's 200 posts a day. That's impressive.

On one online typing platform, Brazilian Guilherme Sandrini reached a whopping typing speed of 241.82 wpm.

Sean Wrona set another record at the Ultimate Typing Championship with a speed of 256 wpm. Wrona has also unofficially beaten Blackburn’s endurance typing record by maintaining a speed of 174 wpm over a 50-minute duration. Though this record is not recognized by Guinness because it wasn’t monitored by their team.

Both of these incredible speed typers used the standard QWERTY to achieve these top speeds.

Google...

https://blog.typing.com/fastest-typists/


also Dan, it was 2005, not 2018...

So it was.

A decent typist can do 80 words per minute. Mark Kislingbury can hit more than four times that speed. He’s the fastest in the world, and getting faster. The 53-year-old Texan holds the world record for the “fastest real-time court reporter,” a standard he set in 2004 when he transcribed a staggering 360 words in one minute, with 97 percent accuracy.

http://nymag.com/speed/2016/12/how-to-type-360-words-a-minute.html

Lmao

yes, doesnt count, but in a way it does... because if you are typing on a Steno, and you still have to make 4-10 strokes, that the same as typing on a keyboard for the most part...

i can only do about 70 i think.... im sure if i wanted to i could get over 100....

Oh yeah, at least. I did 45 wpm in H.S with about 50% accuracy.

Mail thief........

hasnt been caught...

neighbors are being evicted for the sh!t they are doing however, which may also include stealing peoples mail...

Nate, your left arm looks like a chicken wing in that avatar. Just an illusion I assume.

no, my left arm is about half the length of my right...

what i actually notice in the pic, is my dick bulge

funny story...

we were jumping on the bus to Seattle a few years back, and these 2 little hotties come pulling up in a POS Cougar... asked me for a cigg, sure no problem... had this weird look on their faces, and one of them said "i like your pants", which were a sweater type material Mark Ecko suit... they were all blinking shy like and whatnot...

was like um ok...

told Katie about it, and shes like well your dick is poking out so i can see why...



to this day, she still gives me [Bleeeeep!] about it when i wear shorts or jogging pants....

Tall and lanky = speed. Todd played a bit of college ball and I played a year in rookie ball after HS. I never pitched, but I could crow hop to the plate from left without hitting the cutoff. I've thrown out my arm so many times it makes me puke just thinking about it. Now at 43, I can barely throw across the yard. Shoulder is pure junk. The one thing I can still do is run like the damned wind. Todd's seen it a time or two.

Christ on a cracker...now we're onto typing speed. For fvcks sake.

This thread explains so much about this degenerate infested sweat lodge. We have a bunch of middle aged guys who have failed at pretty much everything they attempted athletically. Fortunately, a few of us have jobs to pay our interwebz, others live in their mom's childcare center. Since Evo has lost his 85mph heater, he is turning conversation to dick measuring.......Calling Frank.......


Not bad for a baseball thread

That's an accurate assessment. Next thing you know, we'll hear about licking eyebrows and elbows.

Did you know that back in the 70's, during his Haight Ashbury hippie yoga days, Frank could self fellate? Limber like a wet dishrag. That's another true story.

Odd since the century link bill comes in my name....

how do you get the cheeto and semen fingerprints off of your computer screen after you masturbate?

99 percent isopropyl...

I'm really good at eating pussy. I have references. Made an ex from oregon city black out. She still calls me

TMI.

Yeah, but what's your Licks Per Minute (LPM) average? Win any stuffed animals?

She was probably blacked out, ahead of time. Oh well, I still commend you.

That made me LOL

It's only TMI because you probably stab at a pussy with one finger and lap at it like a dog drinking from a water bowl.



It is more what is happening during the licks. It's called market research. I know what works. Most chicks couldn't suck a d!ck if they had to do it to survive. I have only been with a couple women who could,who enjoyed it,and made it worthwhile. Otherwise it's just an amusing 5 minutes of peace and quiet until I roll her over and ground and pound lol. The only stuffed animals is that beaver stuffed lol.

Harper went 0 for 0 with two walks and a run scored in his Grapefruit League debut. Walks are good just ax Barry Bonds.

I’m more of a middle finger guy.

Happy opening day!

Baseball is live and well despite you football fags. And basketball lol? The cream always rises to the top if you have the money, Esp the nc double a.

Walks can lead to runs when you are like this guy...

Joe Posnanski of the Kansas City Star and Sports Illustrated wrote:

" I'm about to give you one of my all-time favorite statistics: Rickey Henderson walked 796 times in his career LEADING OFF AN INNING. Think about this again. There would be nothing, absolutely nothing, a pitcher would want to avoid more than walking Rickey Henderson to lead off an inning. And yet he walked SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY SIX times to lead off an inning.

He walked more times just leading off in an inning than Lou Brock, Roberto Clemente, Luis Aparicio, Ernie Banks, Kirby Puckett, Ryne Sandberg and more than 50 other Hall of Famers walked in their entire careers ... I simply cannot imagine a baseball statistic more staggering."

Other than the big money contracts that I believe have gotten a bit out of hand,Baseball is alive and well and is the best game there is. IMO.

Mariners seem to be doing pretty decent with this new team... its the Mariners tho, so they will probably fvck everything up in the last part of the season...

we shall see...

My wife and a friend went to the opening game and ended up on the jumbotron dancing. They got a couple of text messages from others that were at the game.

Could have used Diaz in the 9th on Saturday night. I like this Mariners team.

Yes Mariners are actually pretty talented. I’d bet Stam a’s vs mariners winning the AL west if he is so inclined.

I won that bet if you recall (but apparently you don’t). And I always pay my bets, I’m no savage.

I'm not a betting man but I bet the Giants continue to ignore the elephant in the room and don't try and get us hitting.

Nope we are good

Hank?

Hank?

Zack greinke 10 strikeouts 2 home runs. He’s my all time favorite player

Giants just acquired Pillar from the blue jays. At least they are doing something.

Hank?

Don't look now. The M's are 11 and 2. My prediction is that the Padres are gonna be a team to watch out for in the NL West.

11-2 Are you serious ?

Stop talking about the M's. Just stop it. The first rule of M's baseball, is we DO NOT talk about M's baseball. Second rule of M's baseball, is WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT M'S BASEBALL!!!!

This is Baseball 101. Follow the code!

I know. I miss his pictures of pinks on the Snohomish the most.

That only counts to people who give a fk about the Mariners. You guys can say you had Ichiro the Big Unit and of course the Griff. Sweetest swing in baseball. Too bad. But hey. The cubs finally beat the curse. So it's anyone's game anymore.

Ok speaking of Baseball 101 the last few years I notice these announcers talking about the no no in like the 6th inning ,which is a huge no no. You never talk about it. Ever. It's the worst jinx in the game. Mike Krukow was pulling that [Bleeeeep!] with Bumgarner one night I couldn't believe it. Next inning,he gives up a single. Killed it. At least Cain got his perfect game. Loved that guy.

Those announcers should have been thrown outta the booth via the window into the crowd below. How you gonna be a professional announcer and talk about a no no like that? That's grounds for immediate termination by firing squad.

Last night's game was a perfect warning from the Baseball Gods to not test the code. Only up by 1 on the road, bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, 2 outs, shallow pop up for the butt clenching win. That was the God's warning people to STFU or else. If the Gods were in any less of a charitable mood and they had lost that game, I was already planning to drive to wherever Sol Duc is and rip out his throat with a spoon.

Robinson Cano gone, Mariners 13-2. Coincidence or cause and effect?

Worst signing in baseball? I dunno. But it was fkn stupid.

Lots of other personnel moves on both sides.

This was supposed to another one of the M's patented "rebuilding" years (when hasn't it been?). Tonight's game and this next series will tell us a lot. The Indians series looked great on paper at the time it was played, but they've since chit down their legs, so who knows. We shall see.

No question, but Cano was the highest paid at the time which put him in a position of leadership. His non-hustling and very relaxed attitude was something I saw other players adopt, most notably Kyle Seager. Unfortunately, in the field, Seager is not as good as Cano, and it bit him badly.

The ghost of Cano still lives on in our current 2019 outfield. Lack of hustle, lolly gaggin', grab ass play. Simple routine stuff is a complete adventure. Couple that with a mediocre bullpen and we WILL blow late inning leads later in the season. Chit, that'll probably start coming to fruition in about 1.5 hours from now. The Asstros don't mess around.

See...here I am talking M's baseball after I swear I wouldn't. Blame it on me.

At least you will have late inning leads to blow. Giants will blow them early and often if our front office doesn't start spending some of that championship $$ .

Seems that so far the M's have the hitting, but are somewhat suspect with the arm and glove. If those two come around there will be lots of wins. If not, there will be lots of scoring.....

Well, one unique way of avoiding OF errors is to hit a couple of Grand Salamis. At least they looked up and over with a high degree of effort!

Yeah...I'm inclined to believe our hot start was an anomaly that will fade out in typical M's fashion. We are not a disciplined team; lack another stud or two in the rotation and have sub-par defense (and that's being really nice to our D).

Verlander must get his juice from his Wife's massive milkers.

I couldn't believe they gave Cano at 31 years old a 1/4 of a billion dollar contract.

it's hilarious. Those long term contracts are a lose lose for everyone involved other than the player getting paid all that money obviously. Stanton was ridiculous.

My preferred manner for playing/watching baseball is for great defense, great pitching, and contact hitting. See 63-66 Dodgers. I agree with Nick that the inability to catch the ball and pitch very well will be the Ms undoing. Still, if that hitting can reasonably continue they will be entertaining. Their pitchers can hold no lead and their hitters can overcome any deficit.

Kinda like Coug football over the years. "We'll outscore you". Generally.

Well it is the American League,you bunch of cheating DH having scrubs.

DUMP THE DH!

10-4 keeps the Pitcher's honest....it will cause more of rushing the mound.

That's strange the two leagues have such a HUGE rule difference. I can't think of any other sport where the rules aren't the same.

AGREE !

Damn right. The DH is ridiculous. Look at big Papi . Fkn guy was juiced to the gills and batting like .800 in the postseason at age 41. What a laugh.

Bump. Been a good start for mlb. America’s pastime!

If I was invited to see the president of the United States I’d go and be honered for the privilege. But I can respect people’s (some Red Sox) choice not to. We really do have it good here.

Steelhat69 thanks for your two cents. Mega!

Horrible for the Giants. WTF. When your best hitter is batting 259 and you are giving up 15 runs a game ,ticket prices better start dropping. It costs 40 bucks to park. I have been waiting for this. Buh bye bandwagoners! Now we will see who the true fans are. Go Giants! Time to rebuild. And I don't care if Fat Panda can pitch I'm tired of seeing his fat ass.

Notice nobody is talking about the M's anymore? Me neither.

i dnt lyce baceball.just sport centr play on epsn. manures sux lots.

Big bump! Best baseball season ever!

One month ago, the M's were in first place in the West with a top 3 MLB record and a +45 run differential. One month later & they are in last place in the West, 11.5 games back and have a -38 run diff.

I'm not even mad. I'm fvckin' impressed!

Bump all day er day

I think the Giants can do big things this year. By that I mean get out of last place .

And to think I’d bet Stam the marreners were going to be good lol. They have done an historic about face towards the basement

Looking like Madison Bumgarner is going bye bye.

He’s a hothead. But like the guy. Thinking him or greinke to the yanks.

Midwest69 can’t catch fish.

Did the strap-on she used on you give you diaper rash?
Boom Roasted..

Bump! Go baseball! Midwife69 is obese! Probably has a vpn and pisses in bottles. You probably vape too even though you’re 45.

I never got the answer bout that strap action....scared?

Vaping makes people look retarded.

Nah I’m watching my yay area roariors for a night! Then back to baseball until October.

W's with the win. Nicely done

Reminder: midwest69 has aids from needles and or butts.

Also, baseball season is just now starting to get its legs under it. From now until October is prime time.

Lol..

Remember to vote!

Giants...

boy do they suck. So do the Royals,Orioles,M's ,Pirates,Mets,Marlins(no surprise there),Blue Jays. How quickly the contenders fall.

I’ll be interested to see who on the giants will be an all star given that each team gets one. I guess Will Smith? Anyways, the athletics are much better than the g’s and that makes me happy.

The As are a revolving door of talent.

That's very much like the Mariners, who acquire or develop talent, but ship it off to other teams lest the Ms accidentally become a winning team.

The A's don't have the payroll to keep these guys very long,and they jump ship for greener pastures.

Big bump for baseball! Stan, Midwest, and nick couldn’t hit evos heat!

Carl Yastrzemskis grandson Mike has been hitting some homers for us lately. This Dickerson kid is really impressive. As bad as we are in the standings I have been enjoying the last couple weeks other than the shellacking the dodgers layed on us that last series.

Nice exit velocity and length, stupid.

Gettin their asses reamed out again
JF C

Jose Canseco, Brent Boone, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGuire agree!

RIP Tyler Skaggs pitcher for Anaheim. Found dead at the age of 27

Baseball is going great! Oakland is s half game away from the 2nd wild card and the giants still suck although they are playing better lately. It will be interesting if they trade mad bum.


Speaking of bum, fish prince is a fat faggot that was scared off by hankster lmao.

How long before they fire the manures mngr ? He says the same GD thing after every loss. Show some fcking passion for gods sake.

Madison Bumgarner won't be with San Francisco ,uch longer no matter how well the Giants have been playing,and Will Smith is goinmg bye bye as well. The A's ,well,no one has cared since the bash brothers and Ricky and Billy Martin.

The giants struck gold now they are a tired old team so enjoy obscurity for a long while.

Giants vs Rockies 19-2

Bummer about Bob Gibson's health.
The guy was a stud horse unlike most of today's pitchers that max out at 5 or 6 innings most of the time.
Always liked watching him pitch when I was a kid.
SF

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that statement. I mean,The A's have sat in relative obscurity since the days Morgana used to run onto the field to kiss Eck. The days when Crazy George led the fans in the wave. The Giants have done everything right. Besides,I'll be a fan no matter what,and it can never be as bad as the Cubs. Or ,ahem,the M's

Wasn't any silicone back in those days. Those babies are au natural!!

And just like that the Giants have won 11 of 13 games,been averaging 8 runs per game,and are now 3rd in the division,2 games back from Arizona,and in the running for the wild card!!! "It ain't over till its over"-Yogi Berra

It’s like the opposite of the 2016 season for them.

I know. it's weird. I hope Bochy retires on top at least over .500. be cool if we got a wild card for him.

If this keeps up he will get 2000 wins.

Yeah he’s a good guy, wish nothing for the best for him.

His health isn't the greatest I fear. I hope he gets to enjoy his time off. He will be immortalized in SF.

The Giants are now 2nd in the NL west. 2 games back in the wild card race. Beat a good Cubs team 2 nights in a row. Wut????

Mariners traded a couple Giants throwbacks Mike Leake and Hunter Strickland for some minor leaguers. I guess you guys didn't want them either.

We got a #3 prospect shortstop and some pitching for Melancon,and a couple others. I liked Dyson he was money. Kept Madbum. Since we had the hottest July in MLB and are keeping Will Smith as well the Giants are gunning for the wild card. I think we have the tools to get there. Not sure if we have the tools to win it all but we have been hitting with power as a team and won the last 19 games in July.

Glad we kept Will Smith. He's clutch. I'm excited for August. GO GIANTS!!!

Maybe you could do a fishing show by catching rock cod on a party boat. Dreams can come true!!!

You seem upset. I get amazing pussy on a regular basis. You probably need 3 viagra pills just to beat off to sleazy internet thots.

Don't you have a lemon party to attend?

Hey! Hasn't it been about 10 seconds since we've looked at our Lemon tree?

Sorry no can do. I'll just leave you with this...

Bunt

Ok. Giants are trying to garner 2000 wins for Bochy to retire on. I think it's gonna happen,couldn't happen to a better manager.

Hey at least the season went from unwatchable to enjoyable. At one point there was hope for the wild card. Either way Bochy goes in the hall first ballot.

Good job Bochy!

He's a shoe in for the hall. I got emotional hearing him talk on the radio this morning. I don't know if he realizes how important he is to the organization and how beloved he is to the fans. We don't win anything in 2010 2012 or 2014 without Bruce Bochy. he seemed to make all the right moves where it counted. I put Brian Sabian up there as well. Both deserve credit. I will miss hearing him say "well uhhh,we umm,got a good win today and uhhhh,Timmy had good command of his fastball and uhhh,Buster hit that 2 run shot and uhhh,that was all we needed to win grbblee grbbll..."

Astros beat the Dodgers in 5

Wanna make a pool? That's right,you never pay.

I despise the Yankees. I despise the Braves even more. I despise the Dodgers the most. So Go Red Birds! Go Twins! Go NATS!!

A’s bug so much. Billy beane went Hollywood. New rumor a’s going to Vegas why not? Oakland the city really will cave into itself if they lose all teams. Warriors, athletics, raiders

Glad you’re rejuvenated with an undefeated 49 er team. But if A’s go to Las Vegas might as well still have the baseball infield and share the stadium

I didn’t read your entire message but yes. The A’s and Oakland and the commissioner will play politics. As is life in the bay.

I have heard A’s to Portland for 15 years. It was A’s to Fremont but the giants cried faggot with tv rights

North bay to Santa Clara is a lot closer than Oakland to Vegas but I understand your sentiment.

That's really cool,you old coot! I would love to have seen Stretch and Mays play live. I'd give a kidney to be able to ,but alas,no one wants my organs except my woman .

So. I despise the Braves. The tomahawk chop chant is the lamest gayest sh!t in sports. Other than Chipper Jones they can eat a d!ck. And they are 3 outs away from failure. The Cardinals aren't the best team in the playoffs,but as an organization they are consistent in competing in their division and have a great baseball culture in that town. I also loved when they beat the fodgers up a couple years back. If the Braves,Yanks,and Scrodgers all get knocked out of the post season before making it to the fall classic,I will be almost as happy as when the Giants won their championships. Not really,but those are my 3 least favorite teams ,and I want them to suffer humiliation,just for being,

2 outs away from being losers.

1 out left....

Bye Braves. Fkn Nats are off to a bad start.

good night faggot dodgers!

#natitude

So let me get this straight. The Braves and their dumb assed fans with the tomahawk chop dipshit chants were silenced today,AND the scrubs got knocked out in the first round on a grand slam from Kendrick,former dodger ,AND Kershaw blew the save??? I am going to bed a happy man. Onward and upward!! I hope the Yanks get humiliated. I thoroughly enjoyed watching all those scrub fans have their hearts broken and seeing LA and it's long suffering post season death! How many classless dodger fans have come up to me suggesting the SF championships were flukes. They are eating their words now. My friend Matt won't want to look me in the eye after this hahahahaha.

I already said that,pay your bets.

What about this stat? $700

Fuking A’s

Anyways, the two best teams came out on top in the AL and the two most deserving teams come out of the NL. Really, October is the peak of sports, fuk basketball.

I think the giants and Zaidi will hire Gabe “BALCO” Kapler as your next head coach.

I think Phillies will hire old school and hire Buck Showalter or Girardi

Nice stats, stupids.

https://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/heal...b4dd999b5e.html

They make good bbq

I think the Cards Nats series will be an interesting one because neither team or fanbase thought they had what it took to win.

Meanwhile the sports pulpits with their east coast bias are busy stretching out their jaws in eager anticipation of sucking off the Yankees. It's always been that way. These days does anyone care about that franchise? I do like Aaron Judge.

C-attle has had a myriad of big name players. I would hope this would smack them in the face and inspire them to try and compete. I'm watching the Astros hopefully beat the Yanks. The media strokes them almost as much as Hank strokes his little pee pee to Trump and Putin.

Crickets? I can't be the only one who despises the Yankees. GO 'STROS!!

Greinke is my favorite player. Yankee fans are classless pigs. We live in a very great era where the Yankees haven’t won in a while. Close it out Tomorrow Verlander and f your big tittied wife !

Fuk you Yankees and fuk you too sky girl! I’m still here you elderly fag.

The Yanks lost,poor Yankees couldn't buy their way to a championship,same as the Fodgers. Woot!!!!

Poor Jankees....they'll be back.
But we still have Baseball Girl.

I'd like to sample her softballs.

Never said she would. You however,are deluded into thinking people give a [Bleeeeep!] what you write on here. They don't,I won't get more than 2 sentences in,and that's just to gather fodder for my next bit. That ALL I do and it's ALL I care about. Everybody here thinks your stupid,except Sol Dunce,and he is dumber than a door nail. Thank you Hank,everyday,for fagging up this board with your nonsensical drivel. You are a fkn loser. I hope we never meet in person,because I know I would never get that time back. Other than when I get on here to have fun and let of steam,I never think of you. You are old ,and soon ,you'll be dead. Your epitaph here would read:

"Hank died ."

" Oh that's too bad,but that guy was a dolt anyway"

and in 3 months you would be completely forgotten.

I however,will be up here soon,catching large steelhead,and when I post the pics,you will be jealous,but will find a way to hate on my life,which is way better than yours ever could be,because Hank,you absolutely SUCK!

Sincerely,

Fucck youuu

Eh no one cares, just figured since you write useless essays,I would give you one of my own. I don't care if you read this,I don't care about you ,this is akin to playing solitaire on my phone.

Big bump! Not really happy with the World Series but the nationals are playing well. Plus fuk who ever is making all these alts like hanker and clevelandsteamer69. Nothing worse than an alt. Except Barbosa, he’s a good guy.

And a fight thread almost ahead of a World Series? No chance.

I have almost lost interest. The Astros don't look sharp like they did. Once the Yankees were out it was almost as if I had seen enough lol.

Bump

Bumpn

Also, I’d say Katie seems ok.

Betcha she makes a nice sammich.

Mr. Upton didn't pitch very well. Astros have an uphill climb.

I did just finish Edgar's autobiography. Taught foreign players to say How Bout Them Cougs. My favoite Mariner. Ms only team not to make it to the WorldSeries.

Atta boy Greinke

Bump

World Series game 4 tonight! Bullpen game for Houston so who knows

Fuk politics. I will keep this thread on top

Houston may make this a series yet! They have the tools to win.

Bump. Series tied at 2 games a piece, Nats took a beating tonight.

Houston up 3-2

I was especially pleased to see Fat Nixon at the game, and when they put his big orange ass on the Jumbotron it lead to a stadium full of booing, and then a stadium full of "Lock Him Up!" chants...poor guy left early, probably forgot his Twitter phone in the can in the West Wing.

Wrong crowd of people in red hats, fuckstick.

Fish on...

Todd

I laughed so hard when when they were booing that fatass imbecile. And if anyone ever deserved a "lock him up" chant, it is him for creating such a chant in the first place. Plus he probably actually deserves some jail time.

I'd rather not see childish "lock him/her up" chants in our political discourse at all but when yer such a childish POS as trump, karma's gonna get you.

In his home town no less!

I need to watch more baseball.

Taking one for the team. Or showing two.

The pitcher still threw a strike after being flashed with boobs. Talk about focus and concentration!

Pro baseball players get way better pu$$y than those 2 [Bleeeeep!] flashing skanks in the stands. He was probably like "ho hum..."

I'll be lookin' for more World series boobies tonight !

Where is Enrico Pallazzo when you need him? The ump should have checked their equipment for regulation adherence. Size, shape, corked or no; too much pine tar etc...

Avid - the one is pretty damned hot. I suppose MLB players get hotter, but probably not by much. Then again, I'm a very, very thirsty mofo, so anything a step up from Janet Reno gets my attention.

Avid must run with those hot A list ho's.
They looked way up firm and high to me and were a pretty nice sight on a cool Autumn evening....perky comes to mind.

On the downside, there could have been some baseball geezers having heart attacks over all that commotion.

DD
Hoping for more commotion tonight !

Is homefield advantage a disadvantage? All tied up.

Nats win!

Lol Astros suck,shoulda put Cole in. AJ Hinch better find a new job!!

Aj will be fired after this. Great game Greinke! You pitched your ass off.

Right Stamly. Perhaps the Mariners are next?

One last bump from me. It was a great season, never bet against a hot wild card team like the 2010 giants. Until February when pitchers and catchers report, see you next year baseball.

The season ended in late June, but we did enjoy watching this new fall baseball league play.

Did ya?

Also your broncos and huskers are an embarrassment. Fuk outta my baseball thread and let me mourn in peace.

WHOOSH....

See.....its a funny joke, because I'm not making fun of your Astros...but rather, the Mariners. Or possibly both. I don't get to decide.

You ok?

My bad. It was a woosh. Just like dumbfuk aj Hinch I have a quick hook right now. I apologize. But you guys really need to fire John elway

Called fuking both lol

Elway seems to be a real tool....God complex.

It's never over.

Bump

Only 78 days until pitchers and catchers report!

I can't WAIT for baseball season!! I'm gonna go to Scottsdale this year for pre-season.

Me too, spring training is the best. Football is just there to get through baseball’s offseason.

It’s about the only sport my heart can handle tbh

I love baseball and football!

There was a time when I lived for baseball. I outgrew that phase by growing up I guess.

You mean you weren't good enough to continue playing.

We aren't talking about stickball in the early turn of the 20th century Salmo.

For those in the know.
Why would the Mariners give a AA infielder a $24 million contract when they still have club control for multiple years and the guy has never played a MLB game?

It is the Mariners though and knowing how they suck, the guy will likely be a flop.
SF

It's the Mariners. Occam's Razor. Don't over think it Stoney.

The Mariners are smart. The penned that Cano deal.

Actually I had to get an after-school job. And I went to a small school; didn't have to be all that good to make the team. Probably fortunate for me. But it was a lot of fun while it lasted.

Salmo played on the Kerntucky TarHeels back in 1908

Tar Heels are in North Carolina silly.

I have a vapid reputation to uphold Salmo. Besides isn't that a badminton team?

Don't ask that anywhere near the Tarheels basketball court. They are a nationally ranked team most years.

Yeah but only they care.

Strasburg back to the nationals for 245 million.

Means cole will go to Yankees for 315 million.

Book it .

A lot of cash based on his past injury history, but he seems to have been more durable of late.

I wonder where Rendon will land and for how much?
I just read an article and they were speculating the Rangers, due to the Dodgers not going hard after big dollar free agents. They mentioned the Braves as a possibility as well.
SF

Excellent question stone.

He (Rendon) is definitely not going back to the nationals because of the resigning of Strasburg. He’s a Houston guy grew up and went to college there (Rice). I suspect though, he will end up with the dodgers. Who ever gets him will get a good player but an even better person.

Hmmm, kinda' late now, but maybe I should have stuck with baseball.

Back then they didn't pay that much. 50 bucks a week!

Rendon just got $245 mil for seven years from the Angels.
SF

They will still lose.

Agreed.

The only one winning this week is Scott Boras.
Like him or not, he banked some coin for himself and his clients this week.
SF

Cole for $324.

I'd fire my agent if'n he didn't get me that extra cool mill.

Without pictures this thread doesn't get to first base.

Madison Bumgarner with a 5 year deal to the Diamondbacks. Could you at least leave the division? I'm not stoked. But he will get paid.

At least he’s not a Dodger.

Yeah I had thought of that. Word is Kershaw,the Dodger organization ,and Madbum were game for that.

No wonder Stam left.
This thread is gay.

WDFW What a Dumb Fvck Wit

Move along then one too many.

Oh OK.

Move along to Cali like some??

You guys are Hard Core.

Who's "you guys'? Hard core? Ever seen anyone get stabbed or shot? Wanna step into my shoes? A lot of people claim to be badasses. I'm not one to ever claim that. Hard core doesn't mean anything to me. I knew a lot of hard core motherfuckers that are dead. I'll stick to having a happy,simple,peaceful life. Thanks. BTW you talk as much in person as you type? I'd be curious to know.

Avid you are the guy on the attack.
(Glance above)
Hard Core must have some inner meaning to you?

Stabbed or shot? No thanks.
Step into your shoes? I know nothing about you.
Talk as much as I type? Probably.
Badass? No.

"I'll stick to having a happy,simple,peaceful life."
You and I actually share this life model.
Except I will add "fun" to the model.

Find some fish this winter and most importantly.....................

Lol I hope to find some fish Friday. Hope so. It's a slow start down in the land of Liberal fuktards.

We have a huge gully washer Thursday and Friday. Good luck.

You up here avid?
I wanna see you catch a fish, side drift master.
Lol..

Nah I'm gonna fish in Northern California . i am a drift fisherman from the bank not a side drifter,jabroni.

good read, stupids.

Go Titans! Get fuked Baltimore. Also bump to America’s pastime

Astros = hand slap. Seriously? I'm going to go ahead and say ALL MLB teams would be willing to cheat for a World Series if that's the level of 'severe' punishment that MLB wants to dole out.

Pathetic and weak.

MLB may have given them a slap, but the Astros fired their manager and general manager, which was a lot more than MLB did.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28476780/astros-jeff-luhnow-aj-hinch-fired-sign-stealing

Fish on...

Todd

Red Sox manager Cora is going to get slapped as well.
SF

Yes he will

Some are saying he was the master mind when we was with the Astros.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2848...ealing-scandals

Cool.

Rumors are that Altuve & Bregman wore buzzer devices on their skin during games. This is after MLB have said they didn't. New accusations.

Isn't it kinda easier to be Mr. MVP McClutch when you know what's coming?

BIG if true.

Then hang em' high IMO.

The really sad part in all of this, is that the Mariners could cheat like this and it still wouldn't make a damn bit of difference.

Steroids, trump, cheating, Bigfoot, self banning.




Bump

I pride myself as an aficionado of all things baseball but who the f is this SF lol? Nice offseason, stupid.

Ruf indeed.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/01/giants-sign-darin-ruf.html

i have no idea what the Giants are doing.

A day without hander? Noice !

Why,do you wanna hear from that guy? Hankor just spews all over his vile drivel.

Anybody going to watch the xfl? Me neither. Pitchers and catchers report in nine days

It depends....
If it is Mariners baseball, I’d rather watch the semi pro XFL then the [Bleeeeep!] local MLB team.
SF

The Mariners suck. The Giants are a completely new organization. And the Dodgers are still losers. Come on Baseball!!!

The Mariners will really suck for at least one more season...and then look out. They have been doing a great job of shedding dollars and stacking their farm system.

We may see some good young talent get a shot next September.

Fish on...

Todd

Damn LA is going all in.

Betts and Price

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28636934/red-sox-trading-mookie-betts-david-price-dodgers

They are desperate . Yankees of the west. They will never be champions,they are scrubs,and deserve all the hate. I have inexhaustible hate for the Los Angeles Dodgers. I am laffin .

Giants re-sign Panda and Hunter Pence . I hear Willy Mays is ready to take batting practice smh

Well...maybe so...but that lineup has championship written all over it.
So...

Just a bunt to the top.

sure it does . Go Kershaw!!!

yep every time. How’s your soap opera thread goin?

Which one?

If nothing else, I bet it made you think twice about getting a neck tat?

You and neck tats lol. Keep making threads try hard.

Thud

2 many poles. Big baseball bump faggots.

BREAKING NEWS.......MLB just announced that they're are going to suspend the 2020 season due to COVID-19. Too bad, so sad.

No they are not. But what will happen is the M's will suck.

Yes they will !

Well at least we can agree on that. The Giants are a [Bleeeeep!] show. I am not sold on new management,but i'm not keen on change anyway. I think Bochy shouldn't have retired.

grabbed a box of Donruss yesterday, got a Juan Soto autograph (200 dollar card), a Luis Arraez auto numbered to 60 (about a 150 dollar card), and some other cool stuff... starting to get back into baseball a little bit...'

also got some Yordan's, Bichette's, Zion (basketball), and a few others...

could probably sell the Ohtani auto, Soto, and Arraez for 1500-2k right now...

im gonna wait till the all star game and see where they are at for the season tho...

Giants are run by analytic nerds now. Sad

Juan Soto is a prick but is going to be a top 5 player in a few years.

The missing ingredient is Brian Sabean. What a great baseball guy. I am probably jumping the gun,maybe Farhan is going to be good. But hiring some broad in the locker room as a coach is a publicity stunt for these feel good blow job hacks in Frisco,where you can't smoke a cigarette around town without offending someone but you can piss and [Bleeeeep!] on the street corner. There's a lot I love about San Francisco but it is equally fvcked as well.

I digress. The Giants need to quit hiring these has beens and get some good young talent. We have some in Joey Bart,Yaz,and a few others. Get 2 power bats and a hot shot starting pitcher and we are going somewhere. It's a great baseball town don't fvck this up!

Yo Astros! Can't steal signs if nobody is on the mound! [taps forehead]

Damn I'm good !!

Stupid fuk virus. Had a planned trip to Disneyland in April, and baseball season is on the rocks? Stop eating weird sh’t China!

Good call, bet sam is happy

Lol.

I know....Bat soup ? YUK !

You have no idea. Bat soup is relatively tame. 10% of the food is amazing and the remaining 90% is beyond awful.

Do tell

Besides the obvious dogs, cats, monkeys and the like....

I've ate 25 day old Pigeon grown out back of the restaurant (which was f'in delicious btw). An entire Goose - all of it, guts included. The honor at the table was to eat it's long corkscrew pencil dick. I had no honor that day. Gutter oil street fried food that was supposed to be beef, but it wasn't beef. Ever see how they make gutter oil? The office park at work had a communal kitchen for multiple businesses. My receptionist would go grab me a tray of food for lunch each day. Came back one day with chopped up frog. Just whole little green frogs, chopped up with a cleaver and stir fried up, guts and all. The hotel had "American chips and salsa". The salsa was just plain ketchup. The absolute worse thing I've ever ate BY FAR, was jelly fish that was marinated in straight vinegar. It took every ounce and fiber of my being to not puke all over the table. Chit like that. I've been to a couple of those "wet" markets and have seen all the caged animals. Pangolins, civets, dogs, cats, monkeys, rats, guinea pigs, parrots...you name it. If it could be killed and cooked, it was on the menu. While I never consciously selected dog or cat, I know I've ate it. I ate a LOT of plain white rice and veggie stuffed dumplings. I couldn't get to the nearest airport hamburger stand fast enough upon return.

25 day old Pigeon with their crunchy little heads.

That's fvckin gross..

The pigeons were actually really good. I wouldn't eat their heads, necks or wings, but their regular body meat was really good. Kinda like squab or quail. They were served at 100000 degrees and you ate them with disposable plastic gloves. Just grab one and tear em' apart, Note that the guts are still inside those greasy little bassturds.

That was my official first meal in China. Welcome to China!

You think so? Watch this!

Alright that's fvcking gross...

What is wrong with those people?

And if there is a McDonald's there, WTF are you eating deep fried pets for?

No i haven't, and this is exactly why...

So what is the McFish over there, just a whole deep fried pond Koi out of someone's backyard pool smashed between two rice cakes?

Fast food is no safe haven there. It's not what you think its going to be. At all. It's been changed to suit their tastes, not ours. Some of it is worse than the street foot if that's even possible. You should see the inside of Walmarts there - especially the food section. Out of all of the places I visited, the Walmart was the single most fascinating place to go just hang and watch. I spent hours in there just walking around taking in the sights and smells.

We wonder why disease happens? Because China. When this virus first broke out, I just shook my head. Of course China. Of. fvcking. course.

Yes.

"Oh cool! Someone brought chocolates into work! I'm dying of hunger and I can eat those!

Er….nope.

Dried fish and squid flake insides.

That was a pleasant surprise.

China really is like a box of Chocolates.

Everyone sing it with me....

"God bless America....land that I love!"

What's their pizza like?

A giant rice cake with 4 gallons of ketchup and a whole deep fried cat on it, garnished with seaweed dust?

Yup...pretty much.

My saving grace was a little dumpling shop across the street from my hotel. I ate there whenever possible. Pork dumplings in plain broth. That's it, but it saved my arse.

I'll have to tell a longer restaurant story sometime - maybe later today. It was fuckin' hilariously bizarre in a good way.

No wonder nobody likes China...

That's the worst thing that could possibly happen on lsd,besides the time I had sex with Eron Wecker the Pecker Recker.

Sounds like a dude..

Pretty sure the worst thing that could happen on LSD would be being on LSD in China. Holyfvckballs my head and face would melt like that Nazi at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

But...Trump loves China!



"Pigeons" are "Rock Dove" when they don't live in cities eating popcorn and cigarette butts...and I have shot them in soybean fields and eaten them, and they are fuckin delicious.

'Course, I don't eat the heads.

Fish on...

Todd

I watched that video the other day on the gutter oil... WTF are they thinking?

And the wet markets with animals in cages stacked upon each other, with the ones at the bottom covered in piss and chit.. Real cesspool for disease.

So my last China food story...it's long and probably not that great. But anyway...

At night after work, I had nothing to do. So I'd put on my walking shoes and head out into the city. Shenzhen was 500K people 25 years ago and it's 22 million now. Urban sprawl is an understatement. Everything is in Chinese and I had no idea where to go, so I just walked for miles and miles all over the city. Main malls and streets and into back alleys. White business men are as safe as safe can be - because anyone who messes with them are just shot. I had the run of the city...

Anyway, I walked for miles and started to get hungry for some dinner. The trick is to never eat at a place that doesn't have pictures on the menu. You have to be able to point at something that doesn't resemble the bottom of my shoe. The "good" or better places will put a menu out front of their door so you can see what they have. So I went past many, many places and couldn't find anything completely not terrifying. Finally, almost starved to death I walked up to a joint on a back alley to look at their menu. It looks about like all of the others. At that point, one of their waiters saw me looking and came running out the door to welcome me. This little fvcker literally pushed me inside. "Ok! I guess I'm eating here". It was entirely empty inside without a single other soul - not a good sign.

10 mins of horrible back and forth communication between this waiter and I...and I seriously probably looked like a tall retarded alien to him....I got a can of Pepsi & bowl of Ox tail with noodles. Ok - fine. This will do.

As I sat there, this dude literally sat at my table and intently watched me take every bite. "Oo-Boy! This is sure good" in retarded man sign language was somehow communicated. I guess fake smiling is universal. He seemed very pleased.

About the time I was full and finishing up, the waiter went in back into the kitchen for a few minutes. Upon his return, this fvcker brought his ENTIRE extended family. Like 15 people from the ancient to little babies. They all stood around me and smiled. Then the oldest guy there shouted something in Chinese and they all dashed away. Not 1 minute later, they all came back out carrying huge serving trays of every dish they could possibly make. They cleared tables save the one I was setting at. Each and every person then hand presented me one of those dishes. I was dumbfounded and already full. They all just stared at me eating food.

So....I spent the next hour trying all of these dishes and fake smiling. "Sure is good!". It was so hard not to puke from the food itself and being overly stuffed. At the end of all this nonsense, the old man gathered everyone around me and they took 1 million pics. I towered over these people. Held a damned baby. They were the nicest, warmest and most adorable people on earth.

So apparently, I was the ONLY foreigner to have visited their restaurant. The thing in China is to show others its a good, safe place to visit and eat. So I have no doubt, my tall alien looking mug is on some big poster taped to a window in Shenzhen. "Look! White man likes it! It's safe!".

All of that for $2 US dollars.

They probably thought you were Michael Keaton.

Fish on...

"Betelguese! Betelguese! Betelguese!"



EAD Pol Pot.

Maybe they thought you were Anthony Bourdain. We all look alike, afterall.

When I worked for Alaska Air many moons ago, we routinely shipped Sea Urchin gonads by the cases to CHI-COM.

I would hit it....and I raised homing Pigeons as a Kid. lol

Nice with pulling out Pol Pot...that one's been dormant for a while

Fish on...

Todd

Last time I was in Maui, we took a walk after dinner through a grassy field, we looked down and saw hundreds of purple Frogs...never seen that before.

Hmmmm.

Was in Maui back in August. I was standing on some lava rocks at the foot of the ocean. A quick rain came and went. Much like what Jaek just said, million fvcking toads came out of nowhere and made a mad hoping dash to the ocean. In the water they went. I'm sure many died. It was right on the verge of darkness, so I said "WTF?" and made my way back to the room.

Seriously strange event.

Pretty sure Bigfoot and Garden Gnomes were involved in this. I was sober and not stoned.

Not that I'm aware of.. I bet frogs like salt as much as Slugs. The purple Frogs were Bullfrog size. Wild.

You ARE Patient Zero.

Fvcker.

How was the pigeon pol pot pie? Did someone already do that joke?

Redhead,with a face like Eric Stoltz in Mask.

Dude I'm not even joking. Good body,nice pu$$,but as my mom described her to her office manager when I was 18,"uglier than sin". Yeah I wasn't even offended.

Fuk you stam. Baseball hating old fuk, hope you’re happy.

Bump for the old ball game

Hate to say it dwat, but sitting outside on a spring evening as the lights come on, watching a baseball game with a cold beverage sounds good about now

Might be hope for an all Arizona half season.

Willie Mays birthday was yesterday. He turned 89.

Memorial Day with no baseball? I just want a fuking haircut. Fuk this mask wearing sh’t.

I miss going to a game.

Grumble grumble. I am growing a full beard. You should adopt a new look. I'm thinking go all death metal with the hair and sh!t.

Shave it and grow a beard. I started to shave mine last year and grew the matching beard. It's kinda badass if you ask me. Now I look like a fierce Viking warrior from the land of ice and snow, where the midnight sun and hot springs flow.

I haven't trimmed my beard since the Rona started and now I look like hammered dogshit. Wilfred Brimley porn stache and all that. It's great!

Yeah thats.......totally what you look like

Chicks dig baseball.

I just watched the replay of game 5,2014 NLCS. Michael Morse hit a tying run in the 8th. Giants were leading the series 3 games to 1,and in front of a home crowd,top of the 9th,Redbirds threaten the closer Casilla with a bases loaded situation,2 outs.

Jeremy Affeldt comes in on short rest to get the final out.

Bottom of the 9th. Fat Panda hits a single off Wacha. Hunter Pence flies out . Brandon belt draws a walk.

Up comes Travis Ishikawa,a Federal Way Washington Native who floundered in mediocrity with a career .250 batting average and 25 home runs,does the unthinkable and nails a line drive walk off home run to right field,to send the Giants to the 2014 world series against a scrappy KC Royals team.

Bumgarner won 2 games that series,and one save ,with a .43 ERA. He holds numerous records,including:

Mad fkn Bum. Everyone wants to suck off Verlander (who the Giants embarrassed in 2012 as they swept the Tigers' and their co called best offensive line up in baseball) and Kershaw,who couldn't win a game that counts if his life depended on it. Bumgarner. He plays for Arizona now,but nobody will care about that when he gets inducted into the hall of fame as a GIANT.




























































sorry

Yeah...you should apologize.

Weird thread

I apologize....


















































FOR YOUR TEAM BEING SUCKASS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA




Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen here you little chit....

YES!!!

That’s great news!!!

Really looking forward to a 15-45 Mariners team.
SF

Glass full kinda Guy.

LOL. Classic Stoney.

You know what? After all of this craziness...I'll fuggin' take it.

Well,that's all the Seattle Mariners are gonna give you.

Don't sell em' short. 16. Maybe even 17.

Oh, I’m looking forward to watching sports again.
The problem is that watching Mariners baseball and calling it a sport is a stretch most of the time. They are a pathetic [Bleeeeep!] franchise, most well know for dancing groundskeepers, sailboat races and playing the 95 highlight tape over and over...
SF

I see it differently. The 2020 "champion" will forever carry an asterisk in the record books due to the shortened season. Further, the Mariners have historically given us the most hope (a relative measure, to be sure) during the first two months of the season. If they can hold off the mid-season fade just a few games longer than usual, they might just make the playoffs. From there, we're only a few miracles short of glory.

It all adds up to the perfect season for the M's to win their first (and probably last) title... Asterisks be damned.

I see it differently still. You are partially correct Flea2, the Mariners do traditionally start strong, kind of like a little kid on a hike, or a new dog on the trail, or evo on google, over exuberance from fans feeds them enough energy to get them thinking, "hey, we're not all that bad" of course other teams know differently and have generally justifiable looked right on past them up until it actually starts to matter, this season it will matter right from the start, count the Mariners out early, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Stonefish is looked back as an overly enthusiastic optimistic cheerleader with his prediction once this all plays out.

The Pink Palace will remain a 550 million dollar Monument to Mediocrity for yet another season......book it.

"Evo on Google".

LOL...



"Types of face masks" [/enter]

"Types of face masks men wear when they work" [/enter]

"Types of face masks men wear when they work when they don't want to catch bad viruses and bugs and stuff". [/enter]

and on and on and on and on....

I was just giving them the benefit of doubt.
I’d be more then happy to see 0-60.
The Mariners.....the Norte Dame of MLB.
SF

At least ND has religion to fall back on and explain away the gay. The Mariners have fried crickets and Bark in the Park and that's about it.

We are about 1 week away from everything falling apart again. I'll believe they'll play sports again when I actually see it on TV with my own eyes. Until, it is wishful thinkin'.

This is going to be the longest year ever.

What are you doing with all your free time?
This has actually been a pretty good year personally, work was deemed essential and has remained reasonably busy, time off has been easier to come by, so that is nice, put on so many mountain miles early on closed trails that I was in fall shape by May, snowshoe'd up to Knoble Knob on the brutally steep Deep Creek Trail, have done Norse peak, Corral Pass and everything in between, dropped back from 183 to 173, have a great garden, explored some micro zones that have been on the radar for years, picked up more sheds than I have in years in the process, haven't fished at all and I do miss that, but time away from the TV and sports and bars has been great, might be a permanent thing, should be anyway.
As long as none of you bacteria/virus packing vermin infect me I expect to keep on keepin' on for the rest of the year pretty much like I have so far.

Mask up, Bitches, enjoy the ride.

Besides full work weeks...new garden, new chickens, yardwork, house work, shrimpin', ling cod fishin', crappie fishin', steelhead fishin', turkey huntin', shootin' the bow and a couple of small get-togethers here at the house. Need to start scouting for upcoming season and do some trail work.

It's not me I'm worried about. I have plenty to keep me preoccupied.

I will be get pissy if football isn't played. Looks like I'm gonna be pissy then, because we ain't gettin' chit for sports.

Walking for me.
I’ve walked over 300 miles since the stay at home orders.
Not every day but usually get in 5+ on the days I walk.
Trying to do a lot of hills.

Got some veggies going. Been clearing out the family household and finally got it on the market this week. Lots of stuff to go through after 67 years....

I’m digging working from home. Having a beer or two for lunch versus the normal office routine is something I wouldn’t mind doing daily until I retire in a few years.
SF

Good for you dude! This whole thing really has brought a lot of new things to the forefront for a lot of folks. It's reminding people of proper work life balance and all the things we were (are) missing.

I also quit smoking and have saved a pile of cash just from that. No commuting, no extra gas, no dry cleaning or lunches out. Save 2 hours of my day just from the commute alone. There is a strong chance I'll never work in an office again and that's just fine by me.

I grew the nastiest, grossest Corona beard. Didn't touch it for 3 months - looked like somebody epoxied roadkill to my face. Just shaved it up a couple of days ago, so I look kinda like a human again. Kinda.

Tough call. That beard was fantastically gross, but you didn't look all that great without it, either. At least with the beard some chick might think there could be someone she wants to bang in there somewhere.

Let me know how it goes.



Fish on...

Todd

I don’t miss the Bay Area commute at home. I think this will allow for working at home a few days a week and less office leasing.

So you quit, quit eh nick?
Congrats my dude.
I just celebrated a year back in May.

I hope people that can do their jobs from home, continue to do so.

And as nick said, think about the home/work life balance.
Less traffic during the work week.
Sounds like a step in the right direction.

I agree Todd.

Yes - I quit. I've slipped up once or twice when others have had some smokes near me, but I haven't bought a cig in months. Feelz good man!

I think many Americans are starting to realize what "work" looks like in most of the EU. It's pretty damn nice. They've been telling us this for years, but Americans have had that hardworking, overtime slave wage mentality forever. Folks are waking up to what life can be like and it's great!

Micro-mangers everywhere are having existential crisis after crisis and it's a beautiful thing.

I think this is true. It took a bit of getting used to, but I was able to do about 70% of my work from home, though not as quickly or as efficiently, but if it were to become permanent I could get it up to speed by adding a few bells and whistles.

I think there will be some significant changes to the commercial real estate world...smaller and less densely populated office spaces are probably on the horizon.

That being said, Amazon has experimented with working from home, and abandoned it, for the most part...they found that a lot more work can get done with butts in seats, that's why they have so many buildings and offices everywhere.

Fish on...

Todd

I never understood Amazon's mentality on work-from-home. I turned down a couple gigs there because of that attitude.

I've been very lucky to have worked from home about 95% of the time since 2001. Just give me a laptop and and fast internet connection and away we go. I hate commuting so this works for me. I and some colleagues are more productive at home anyway.

Here's a bonus for everyone. During Covid, we've been working and paying into the economy just like before the pandemic. Hope it helps.

Ya but Todd has 3 monitors.

Big f bump. We will most likely have our first .400 hitter since ted Williams. The home run winner might break 20, the cy young winner might have an under 1.00 era. Bring it on

I hear you....but asterisk?

I have long held that MLB seasons are much too long by about 1/2. Human nature is to miss things are not always around or are rare occurrences. Human nature is to get bored of things that are too readily common and frequent. I.e. the Seahawks play one game a week, so it's "special". Reduce the number of games and make them more meaningful. Save pitchers arms. 162 games a year is just ridiculous and unwanted.

80 game regular seasons. Do it.

Goddammit Nick. Stop making me agree with you.

I will go out on a very short limb and say the M's will be 14-46 this year.

Next year they will be better, this year they will suck, unless they can pull off their usual "we're good for a month", and with 22 games in July.

If they do that, then they may go 29-31

Fish on...

Todd

So it looks like a MLB season is going to actually happen after all.

M's first game against the Houston Cheaters this Friday night.

I knew 2020 would get worse and here it is. I'm now convinced that even a thermonuclear war wouldn't stop the M's from sucking. Like War Games (the movie), the only way for them to "win" is by not playing the game at all.

But at the end of day, I get to watch or listen to an actual sportsball game! How cool is that?

BTW - I've gotten a bit more into F1 during this whole no sports chit show. It's an interesting "sport" to learn and follow.

I weep for football.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr0OFs1HQ7U


been re-watching a lot of the glory days to pass the time.
enjoy.

Ah yes, the glory days.

I watched the Junior documentary on ESPN last week. A true reminder about how good him and his pops were, and their love for the game.

Best pure swing in the history of the sport (apologies to Ted and Hank). M's fans and all of baseball got to witness pure natural greatness. Stupid Cincy turf.

That swing had some serious swag. Fvckin beautiful.

No doubt

Giants to face the Dodgers tomorrow !!

Yes, I can resist.

Solid work, derp.

Go Zack Greinke!

My pics for World Series on a shortened season.

Rays vs Reds. 2020 has been fuked enough so why not.

I hope Dan S burns down the Bronx.

Happy opening day tomorrow baseball fans! Get wrecked $tam.

The Mariners haven't lost a game yet this season. Looks like things are about to change . . .

Why you comin' here starting chit? Get that crap outta here.

Mookie for another 12 years and $365 million? Risky deal as he'll be an old man by the end of that term. I foresee a Robinson Cano fiasco in your semi-near future. Good luck!

But yeah, get that Dodger chit outta here.

Here's my hope. The M's win tomorrow night and between Friday night and Saturday morning, the entire team comes down with Covid and they have to pull the plug on an undefeated season which comes from the expense of the Cheaters. That's the perfect scenario.

Shoot me.

Fall Classic,Padres vs Mariners,book it!!

That would be hilarious and I will personally buy us home plate tickets if that happens.

What are NBA players doing lol? There’s only so much bass fishing in Disney world. How is baseball ahead of them? Good for MLB and the player association. Keep being prima donas NBA.

Also, chevron james is the most hate able athlete in 40 years. He’s evo that can dunk.

Is that hated by racist or bigots or both?

No asshole, I hate him because he’s ignorant. Ignorance sees no color so you’re in luck.

Tired of this cause he’s enter race. People suck equally across the board.

Back to baseball. I am a die hard Giants fan. My whole family is. When I was a kid I idolized Ricky Henderson,and later Will Clark. That said...

The Los Angeles Dodgers have dropped 2 billion dollars on top tier baseball talent in the last few years and they can't win a championship? They can blame that one on the Astros cheating,I guess. But watching them last night ,they made frisco look like a bunch of little kids out there. Who the fk are these guys? Other than the Yazstremski kid and fat Panda,who do the Giants have???Cueto looked ok,then he didn't. It bothers me that our manager is Gabe Kapler and not Bruce Bochy,who said he had second thoughts about retiring. Now we have this chick coach who was a fkn softball player in college,WTF?? The organization is on crack.

Hiring new wave trader joe will be the giants downfall.

She’s kinda cute though. You gonna #metoo me now illahee?

Do tell just what has Labron done to make him so ignorant?

Okay I’ll play. He’s just dumb lol. He’s no Kareem, he’s no ali, he’s no Barkley. He’s just a twit. Look up his China thoughts.

So how does he feel about Russians putting bounties on American soldiers.
FYI your a fvckin idiot.

Stick to baseball you fuk.

And nice your, stupid.

Oh look a whole MLB baseball team is kneeling, you hate them too?

You’re what’s wrong with the country. I’m all for kneeling, do what you believe in. And I believe you’re an asshole.

Don’t you have some dough to knead?

I’m in downtown Oakland (go A’s!) trying to get tested for covid. Wish me luck ! Big line so I’ll be bugging for a few.

Lol

I predict when sports come back we will see every team kneeling.
Won't that be cool twatkins?

Can’t wait! Glad you got so triggered about lebron.

Kneeling is not worthy of baseball, laying down is where it's at,... there should be cots in the stands and dugouts instead of seats.

Thanks Stam for your thoughts lol.

Standing up will be the new kneeling down protest soon.

You're too kind, while I'm not worthy, that's quite the compliment!

I miss him. But you seem stam like. My apologies

Well it was a fun season while it lasted!

To Dwat and Cornhole,get your own material,you dirty water dough kneading kneelers!!

You Walnut! The real Stam would have scoffed at the idea that you're anywhere near his league. You ain't no Stamly good sir! You're more like a discount Paker. All pink drink and no umbrella.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! [breathes in] AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Bump and a kneel for ashhheeeerlee

Baseball is back! The national pastime. MAGA

Too true, the real Stam would have scoffed as he sent Sol Duc back for another round of deep psychodynamic therapy and a refill, beat Hankster like a drum, skinned you on yet another football bet..... all while banging your girlfriend.

...oh, wait.

nevermind on that last part.



Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.

Damn. I feel personally attacked! With posts like that, who even needs that old Walnut Stam around?

At least you didn't mention killing an Elk for me. That's a bonus I suppose, but alas, that won't last either. Do your worst Discount Paker.

Hey, I thought I was the real Stam.

This is getting confusing.

Just throw me in the RichG/evo/kk/sloD/etc settling basin, without moderator superpowers I don't even make a good paker wannabee.

What's this..? Sounds intriguing, I love elk hunting and if I missed a good story can you please tell it again?

Thank you

No. I don't think I will.

BTW - there is a good chance MLB is going to shut it back down not 72 hours after it opened back up. 1/2 of the Marlin's players have tested positive.

Wear a mask people.

We need to do a complete, national lockdown for 3 weeks or so. Trump needs to announce it while wearing a mask. Imagine how much better things would be today if we just took our lumps back in March....

Either that, or we can stretch out the pain and economic losses over the next several years and deal with restrictions and other stuff we don't like all the while. Pretty sure that's what we'll do....

I thought that's what I was doing back in March and April. Glad to see my efforts were wasted and my future take a shot to the junk. Good going anti-masker arseholes.

+1

Yup. Plus 2. (That's what I should have said to begin with).

I'm cancelling Elk season because of this crap and that's potentially taking real food off of my table in the middle of a pandemic. I have exactly X amount of paid days off. Be them vacation days spent hunting or dying in a hospital - it doesn't matter. So, the responsible thing is to save all of my paid days off just in case I get sick later this fall or tomorrow. I'm not rich. Every last penny counts. Wells Fargo doesn't care about Elk hunting or me...or you....at all.

Wear a mask people.

Sleeping in a hammock in your lawn is less risky than falling out of your free stand.....solid move

Let's go fishing then.

We are going to!

Bent - I'll still be in tree stands for modern Deer. Plenty of opps to fall asleep or outta trees will be had. I'm sure I'll screw something up and also hero something too. Par for the course.

That's the spirit!

Joe "Nice Swing, Bitch! Kelly is national treasure. Funniest thing I've seen on the field in a long time and my favorite video of 2020 so far. Absolute legend.

Asstros core lineup went 0-21 in this last series with the Codgers. As Orel said, it turns out that "guessing is harder than knowing".

MLB under Manfred is a complete disgrace.

I agree with this entire post.

Fish on...

Todd

Wrong. Very wrong. He got fuked because he’s a pitcher, and thus won’t get retaliated under the current rules with an universal DH. It’s a pussy move, knowing he gets impunity.

Nice swing, Bitch! You can take that opinion and stuff into that Asstros trash can because that's were it belongs.

First off and as a great starting point, don't cheat.

Second, actually punish cheaters at an acceptable level when they are caught cheating.

Third, don't break the player code and do the above so players won't feel the need to take matters into their own hands. They are baseball players and baseball players get awfuly salty and have memories that last forever. They are vindictive manchildren more or less. Shoeless Joe still gets chit and it's 100 years later.

This is on the Asstros and Manfred. Not one Asstro was suspended for any amount of time for cheating to win a world series. Not one Asstro apologized or gave anything they stole back - like a certain piece of metal. Instead they doubled down. JK got 8 games for MISSING a guy. Let that sink in.

Now you know why everyone not the Asstros is upset. Look, I know they are your team and all, but chit is ridiculous yo!

BTW - Alvie the Chipmunk is batting .148. Dregman .179. Tells you everything you need to know. Guessing is harder than knowing.

Lastly, you can just be glad this is happening during Covid with no fans. Asstros would be booed outta every stadium all year long. It would be relentless and probably dangerous in certain cities. The Cheaters are getting off extremely easy to put it mildly, so STFU and take your lumps. So wear that crown of shame with pride and learn how to dodge projectiles of all forms, because this isn't going to go away in our lifetimes.

Cheatin Assbro muthafucka's. Reap it.

Joe Kelly is suddenly a big hit around my house. Fvck the Asstros the fuckin cheaters.

The Padres have hit a grand slam in the last 4 straight games against the Rangers - each Salami was by a different player. What are the odds on that?

That has to be some sort of a record. Amazing.

What are the odds of the Padres not sucking?

Suck is relative. Mariners! Uh hello???

I wouldn't mind rooting for the lowly Padres this season though. Tatis Jr. is a stud and is a lot fun to watch.

I just checked and 4 Salami's in 4 straight games is a MLB record.

The odds got a lot better because Tatis did the right thing the other day by ignoring that lame unwritten rule.

Any other year I'd say very high odds.

When I think of Padres I think of Tony Gwynn. When I think of Tony Gwynn I think of how his son can handle hecklers.

Been a fun season. Greinke is dealing, A’s are good, stam’s beloved marines blow, Madbum lost his velo, jussiesmolt is ybd. All is right in the world.

I think the Pirates are playing .190 ball. Ouch. The giants got off to a bad start but looked solid last couple outings . Cueto looked great coming off Tommy John despite throwing 115 pitches. Struck out 8.

Good for cueto, he’s a great pitcher. Give me a 2-1 pitchers duel every single time over a 10-9 game.

Another Padre grand salami. That's 5 in 6 games. WTF?

This bump is for you stam.

Baseball thread...or baseball's dead.

...either way is okay.

This bump is for the Dodgers. Go Blue!

If the red sox and yankees can have a team full of 200+million dollar 'roided up free agents then the astros should be allowed to bang on a few thrash cans.

Another year without mariners playoff baseball. Swing and a miss.

This is great. Someone painted a Joe Kelly mural and the locals in L.A. are posing with it and pouting.

Can’t wait for the Dodgers and Yankees to f up another World Series opportunity this year.

A’s vs Dodgers in the World Series. A’s win in 7

Bump for games all day long! Hard to work today. Watching the games on my phone on break from Walmart security.

You had a typo. Don't worry. I fixed it for you. I'm generous with my editing skills.

Covid free sport. Get wrecked

While you guys keep jerking each other off about drumph there’s a lot of sports going on, including how good Russ Wilson looks this year.

True. Watching San Diego be their usual irritating selves in their shiit and piss colored uniforms. Friggin Manny Machaca.

Machaca. Machaca con Huevos..it's what's for breakfast. I know you California boys can relate.

No one cares about the Padres. I just love seeing L.A. lose. The Padres have vomit uniforms .

I wonder if packer could consolidate this with the "who isn't dying" thread?

RIP

Thanks for the bump old man! Baseball and sports are alive and well, keep talking about flies and frumph.


RIP

Astros are getting worked. Karma for being cheaters,and Dusty Baker isn't high on my list ,he can get to the post season but he just can't seal the deal.

Those are all fair takes.

Tampa Bay has good pitching and timely hitting. They are gritty.

The Dodgers series is a no win situation for me as I loathe L.A. and the Braves may be my second least favorite team. The tomohawk chop is one of the most asinine chants in sports. At least the Yanks were eliminated.Usually I can root for a team,so I guess I'm rooting for a fkn Florida team smh.

Also Dusty almost got his kid killed on the field ,and he blew 2 games in 2002 with a team that had all the tools. Bruce Bochy was the mouthwash SF needed to clear the nasty aftertaste of miserable failure.

Had no idea they actually actually opened up baseball this year!

15-0 dodgers over the Braves in the top of the third inning, nice letting LA back into the series, stupids.

More reason to hate the Braves.

I approve of this message.

Atlanta Braves . BLOWING IT.

Or Dodgers. Winning it.

The Dodgers won sure,but that wasn't until the scrub Braves gave up a 3-1 lead in the series . Sure the Dodgers won it. They had plenty of help. I already hate the Dodgers with a passion. I think the Braves may have finally usurped the Yanks for the number 2 spot of my most hated mlb teams. That's fine. I hope L.A. chokes again.

The dodgers are deep 1-9. Atlanta is deep 1-5.
That was one of the biggest difference makers in that game last night.

I can relate. I hate those stinkin Giants myself. But it was an amazing come back with the Dodgers down 3 games to 1 and they pulled it out.

Scrubs.

DBS’ codgers look pretty fn good. At least the cock suck Yankees have to wait another year.

How many ex-Mariners in the series?

I think just Chris Taylor

Inb4 sam asking WHO?

It would be poetic justice to see the Scrubs win their first since '88 only to have an asterisk by their team name. And this whole year should get an asterisk.

Womp womp...

That ending was hilarious lol

Here's to the scrubs being utterly humiliated.

Thanks for the bump! This is for Beefer and ondarvr

It doesn't count too bad so sad,buy another Mookie you fkn scrubs.

Well we're having a good time out here at the ranch. Thanks for asking.

Was a great season. Best season ever, better than all of those other seasons. No news of baseball, no talk of baseball, Baseball....

...like it almost never happened.

Why do you hate it so much? Just curious. I have loved baseball since I was a little kid.

Who's watching the manure pit and tending the sheep while y'all are partying at "the ranch" ?

I, too, liked it when I was a kid, guess I found that I enjoyed a bit more active activities and moved on, I do get annoyed by the never ending ongoing analyisis of sports talk when there is actually something a bit more actively interesting to report on.

But hey, I just said I enjoyed this season.


....baby steps.

Don't lie. We all know you showed up for "Pitchers and Catchers" training and were told to get lost. It was a simple misunderstanding....one that anyone could make really. Don't let it get you down.

If it helps avoid future embarrassment, Fungos are meant for batting practice only. I learned that one the very hard way. So very....hard. But I'm not complaining and neither should you.....because of more "active activities".

Go play outside...

Roger that. Preferably in heavy traffic.

You mean like politics and conspiracy theories on the Dark Side?

Timely bump. Congrats to the NC Dinos for winning the Korean league.

The aforementioned bump is for beefspunk, onariver, and Pam. Happy Thanksgiving!

Trevor Bauer to the Dodgers. Meanwhile giants are reviewing analytics.

Go A’s

Bump cause football is over and the Wilson thread gave me cancer.

Lmao

Dogs shouldn't be letting Turner slip away.

Agreed. I feel like they will though.
