PrintSeattle Mariners at Atlanta Braves, Jun 21, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Well the only positive thing I have to say here is that Jarrod Washburn is pitching for the M's and he has been horrible. So thats good. Jair Jurrjens is throwing for us and he has been great. So we'll see how that pans out.

WORST LINEUP EVER
1. The Infant SS
2. KJ 2B
3. Rake LF
4. Tex 1B
5. FYF RF
6. Mac C
7. Ruby 3B
8. Greg White CF
9. The Surgeon P
- Oh, Bobby. -
Two outcomes
- Washburn will pitch as if he were Felix Hernandez
- We annihilate the Mariners with the worst lineup ever, and we’re left scratching our heads.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
surprise, surprise
Ichiro steals 2nd. McCann doesn’t throw him out.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
on Frenchy's LOB...
how does 192 compare to other players? I would have to think he must be close to leading the league.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Oh yeah
This is also why I didn’t want to go.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
My gf
is about to but me on a baseball ban, because she is tired of my bad moods. Apparently, I don’t take losing well.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Although...
...(random, I know) but I think she might be getting me tickets to a game vs the Nats on July 19th…
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
192 men on base
is only an estimate. Since it only counts as an LOB when the third out is recorded, there are instances where Francoeur did not end the inning. 192 is batters he didn’t drive in, not necessarily strand at inning’s end.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Hmm...
Time to bring Lillibridge in. I heard we called him up for this game.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
At Skip’s veiled comment about the influx of foreign players with harder to pronounce foreign names.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
At Francoeur sucking.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
It is laughable
He can’t do anything correct right now.
It is the definition of insanity…he keeps playing, and we keep hoping he’ll do something different, but its the same thing over and over.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
That's why I'm serious
About bringing derogatory signs to games, hoping that he’ll see them. He seems to respond well to adversity, and it almost feels like he’s taking his job for granted. If he can’t get his pea-brain around the fact that his future salary reflects on his present play, then he’s in a world of disappointment when arbitration time comes around again.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I keep saying it...
...he needs to go back to using the non-vented old-style helmet.
I think its the key.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
there
man, I’m so pissed I can type or spell or use the proper words
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
LOL
At wishing that I would rather be in Las Vegas again instead of watching this shit.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If Felix is King...
...here comes Prince Jarrod.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Jarrod Washburn
scares me…
2-7, 5.83 ERA, .315 AVG
He’ll look like Sandy Koufax tonight.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Yeah really
Pitchers that suck scare the living daylights out of me. I’d rather go up against aces, because at least then, people expect us to lose.
Example: Chris Redman. We ALL said we would commit mass suicide if we lost to him, and then he ground out a win against us.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If I were the Mets or Phillies
I’d have picked up Resop. They could just use him as a starter against the Braves and he’d be Cy Young winner.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Too bad this isn't in Safeco
Then we could have Infante DH so we could keep his productive bat in the lineup, while keeping his shitty glove out of the 6 position.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Wow
Gnortony looked a lot like Matt Diaz at that AB.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The stage is set...
‘opening Photoshop.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
Joe saying “a sac fly would be just fine.” This is Francoeur we are talking about.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Damn it
I had Photoshop all ready to make 192 (I don’t care if it’s not accurate, it sure feels that way) to 194.
A strikeout was the most productive thing Francoeur’s done all series.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
he'll be lucky
To get it to City Hall.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Jeez
I’ve only been traveling for a week – who the hell are these guys playing for the braves and since when is francoeur a #5 hitter?
Frank Wren
Decided to cut all the current roster, starting with Hampton, Smoltz, Chipper, and Glavine in order to free up some money, and then uncermoniously called up half of Richmond, and a third of Mississippi. But unlike the Baby Braves of 2005, this team kinda sucks.
Just kidding – if we called up the minor leaguers, we’d be up 14-3 by now.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
efffff
I don’t want to make another graphic for Gotay.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I almost said
That i’d do 20 push ups for every LOB. Well, here goes nothing.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Sit down, Ichiro
You don’t speak enough English to get thrown out.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Ichiro
I’m not his biggest fan. No real reason not to like him, I just really don’t care for him.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
As a player
He’s awesome. But he has a bit of an attitude problem, and his comments during the World Baseball Classic were kind of inappropriate, not that Roger Clemens’s were not. As a person, I’m not a fan of his.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yeah, I also feel like
he never really tried to embrace the American culture. So, he’s only here to make a buck. Which, plenty of non-natives are and I realize that, but for some reason I feel like Ichiro is worse.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
oooo, that's a good cliché
Ichiro Suzuki
Vladimir Guerrero
Yunel Escobar
Kosuke Fukudome
Bartolo Colon
“_ said, through an interpreter.“
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yeah, I dunno
maybe that makes me a crotchety American, I don’t know. But guys that have lived here and been in the game so long, should at least pick up some English. Sammy Sosa, for example. WTF?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
No, I agree
I think players become more personable and likeable if they can pass for an American citizen. Albert Pujols has a heavy Dominican accident, but he still speaks comprehensive English, and one guy who surprised me was Jorge Campillo, when he did a post-game. At least Escobar is learning still, and when I met him at RFK, he was polite about it, and my father speaks fluent Spanish.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Ichiro is a loner
During BP yesterday, Ichiro was all by himself in RF, shagging balls. For a guy whose the franchise player, I’d imagine he’d have more friends or something, but for him, it doesn’t surprise me.
Which is strange, because when the Dodgers were in town, Chan Ho Park (Korea), Takashi Saito (Japan), and Tsao Chin-Hui (Taiwan) were all joking and speaking together, no problem. There is an unspoken rivalry between lots of Asian players, kind of how like Puerto Rican players don’t get along with Cuban players, etc…
Ichiro’s just a prick, I take it then.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Ha
Jurrjens knew that was a comeback strike. Beautiful pitch.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
on my feed
before the mic cut out, Skip said, “When does the cow do the chop, anybody know?” (what is his fascination with that cow) and then Joe said, “I’ve got a question, why didn’t they put that out in the CF plaza with all the other circus crap?”
Kinda funny…
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Yesterday
Tim Hudson, the Chic Fil-A founder, and two token hotties unveiled the giant cow. The arm hardly moves, and isn’t to the rhythm of the chant, but it is pretty cool. It’s about 50 ft. tall, I’m guessing.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Too much good ...
I love am/pm.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
royhobbs, or anybody else that's more interweb savvy than me:
somebody should put together a “widget” (right?) that counts our LOBs. I think it would look something like this.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Believe me
I would love to make like a Firefox extension or something that counted the LOBs, but there’s no comprehensive database that I know of in which to pull a live, up-to-date count from.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Who knows
But I did like at Angel Stadium, how on the score board, it went R, H, E, LOB. Actually kept a column for LOBs, which made game debating easier.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Our scoreboard
isn’t big enough…despite it being the biggest screen in the history of mankind.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Thanks Gnortony.
Just I wanted – 20 more pushups.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Better thank Tex too.
Because he’s going to get on so FYF can get a Vidro.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
The sad thing is
Our sentiment is not limited to here. You wouldn’t believe how many irate fans at the Ted screaming at Francoeur to actually take some balls.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
LOL
At Joe mistaking Francoeur’s previous AB as a bases loaded situation in which he failed to deliver yet again.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Whoa
I didn’t even notice that the Braves had a run.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Are you doing 20 for each one as it happens
or a running total, like the mascots do at football games?
BTW, I bet you do 340 in all tonight.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
After the innings.
And I don’t think I’ll do many more. I went to the gym this morning, and my arms are already re-reaching a failure point on the last 20 I just did.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The good news
Is that Hernandez on base neutralizes Ichiro’s speed. I do this all the time in MLB baseball games, walk the pitchers, and make the lead-off guy useless.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Message to Joe:
“Suzuki is a common name, and when Ohgi-kantoku took over as manager of the team in 1994, he assigned an unknown kid his first name on the back of his uniform: Ichiro. This was done under the guise of ‘fan service,’ to promote more interest in the team … Ichiro became a household name that year, as he became the first player to break the 200-hit barrier in Japanese baseball history.”

I read all about that in his jockbio...
They made it sound like his dad was abusive or something. Making him bat lefty, standing closer to 80 mph pitching machines, and all the training… at least it all paid off in the end.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Joe
sounds like he is frustrated or just in a bad mood tonight.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Poor Jair
He’s pitching well, but King Felix is keeping us off the board.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I can't tell the difference
Can you?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
These Zaxby's commercials...
All these has-beens promoting this stuff. There are like two Zaxby’s within 8 miles of my house now. And there is a place out west called Raising Cane that is a direct rip off of them.
Why am I talking about chicken restaurants? It’s not like there’s anything more interesting to discuss.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Just built a Zaxby's within walking distance of my apartment.
Also a Popeye’s.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
should clarify
the Popeye’s isn’t new.
And I have never eaten at either of these locations. In fact, I’ve never eaten Popeye’s in my life.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I...
...love Popeye’s. Way better than KFC, and slightly better than Church’s or Bojangles.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
You should see Atlanta.
I’m hoping that by August 2nd, the roads will be somewhat clearer on the weekends than they have been for the last got damn several months.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
what exactly are they doing?
I used to pass through all the time, but haven’t in over a year.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
They’re closing 3-4 lanes at a time alternating north and south each weekend. They’re attempting to re-pave the 75/85 Downtown Connector.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Ah....
Yeah, that sounds like hell.
Since we’re on the subject, sort of, you like living in ATL? I am thinking of trying to get a job at the CDC (yeah, I’m one of those nerds) once I finish school.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
It’s not bad. I have a house on the outskirts, so I do have to deal with Atlanta’s horrible commuting, but it’s not bad living here. I used to say that I’d want to leave next summer, but honestly, I haven’t weighed the options enough to figure out if there’s anywhere immediately better.
I thought about moving to Richmond to be closer to family, and they have a good artist community out there, but with the R-Braves departing, it’s like a punch in the gut.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
You mean Felix Hernandez
Right?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Did I just see what I think I saw?

I want a new Braves cap...
I have a 59Fifty, but I don’t really like they way it looks on my melon. I’ve had the blue franchise cap for about 5 years now, and it is my default and really about the only hat I really like to wear, period. But I hate that there are so many douchebags that wear that hat that it has the same feel as the Red Sox franchise cap. I kind of like this one. Any advice?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Just....
...don’t call your hat an “Usher hat.”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
All the
“Fashionable” caps with the Atlanta Braves “A” on it, that Usher wears all the time, and people get for that reason, instead of baseball reasons.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Gotcha
The fashion hats.
Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. I see a good number of Atlanta fashion hats here. In fact, I think we have the largest selection of fashion hats among all teams. Surprisingly, there are quite a few Phillies and Reds fashion hats here in the Magic City.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Holy shit
McCann stole a base?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
With Putz out
Who’s closing for the Mariners?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Too bad...
...they don’t have Chris Reitsma anymore. I would give a kidney to see us face Reitsma in the bottom of the 9th.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Wow
didn’t even notice Manny freakin Acosta was in the game for us. Guess we’re conceding?
Well, there’s always tomorrow.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Look at who's in the top left of this picture
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
OK
Its getting serious.
We cannot lose this serious to the worst team in baseball. I don’t know what I’ll do.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
LOL
At Joe calling Jose Vidro “a good player”
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
If Acosta---
nevermind…
Was about to say, if “Acosta gets out of the inning without giving up a run, I’ll do 400 push-ups.”
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I'm not buying into this false hope
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Completely off the handle
Sean Casey is friends with Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

So where are all those bastards that talk shit about Boyer???
They are never in the game thread…they just talk shit when ever he loses a game. “Boyer sucks!!!” “He should be let go.”
Fucking BLAH BLAH BLAH…
I'll have you know
I make fun of him plenty.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
But I realize
That he’s all we’ve got, so I can live with it.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I have in this thread already!
But…........I am quick to give credit where credit is do. He pitched well. That’ll do pig. That’ll do.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I understand that...
I am talking about the people who post just to trash players. They say nothing when we are playing well. It is just pissing me off.
RAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Hahahaha
Don’t be that much of a dick
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yes! or strike out. No VIDRO!
Frenchy, you fuck. Don’t screw this up.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I don't trust Francoeur
With a sac bunt. He’d pop it to Lopez who’d land on the bag while catching it and turn the unassisted triple play, according to mvandonsel…
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
IF WE FAIL RIGHT NOW
THE SEASON IS OVER.

Look at...
...the Hulk Hogan bronze skinned bleach blonde in the front row.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
The most impressive thing about this game...
...is that when the game ended, this number did not change:
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I am SO
Going to try to animated GIF McCann’s steal.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Oh My Pujols!
Got home just in time to see the end…I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
After all this crap, we’re only 5 back…wow. There’s still hope, folks. We’re still alive. Let this be the jump start we needed.
After that crapfest from last night, where it was mostly mvandonsel and I trying to wade through until neither of us could take it any more, this feels especially good.
For the first time in a long time, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game. GO BRAVES!
