    Heh. And less grinchy, one presumes.

  2. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 2:54 pm

    Wow, Damon cannot throw. It’s like a catapult is tossing the ball in.

  3. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 2:59 pm

    I dunno, Lauren, his MLB picture is sort of scary in a different way. A bit, I’m so sexy.

  4. Lauren, token chick on August 16th, 2009 3:00 pm

    There’s something odd going on with the lighting on his left cheek, no? Makes it look like maybe he has piercings with chains connecting his nose and ear.

  5. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:03 pm

    You’re right, Lauren. And I call manscaping on those brows. I’m trying to think of any good MLB photo I’ve seen, though.

    Come on, random Yankee’s pitcher. Like Ichiro’s ever going to steal again, just to show up.

  6. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:06 pm

    Is this the definition of a contact hitter? These Lopez at-bats are always amusing, if nothing else.

  7. Lauren, token chick on August 16th, 2009 3:12 pm

    Zrally Zdurienciks!

  8. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:15 pm

    Yeah, welcome to our nightmare, Mr. Z’s family.

    Who mentioned Jeter’s man tights yesterday? He is the last player wearing the scary tight long pants, right?

  9. Scottdids on August 16th, 2009 3:16 pm

    Shouldn’t Jack Zduriencik be off signing Ackley and not hanging with the family about now?

  10. diderot on August 16th, 2009 3:24 pm

    Fister = Tall Jakubauskas.

    Couldn’t we just hope he’s our Kevin Slowey? That would be nice.

  11. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:25 pm

    Oh, shit, Griff! Your Scootaround surely had a higher gear!

  12. Bremerton guy on August 16th, 2009 3:26 pm

    I like to feel that every hit he gets is a pin in the Rob Johnson voodoo doll.

    I seriously don’t understand the Rob Johnson hate here. Group-think, maybe?

  13. Liam on August 16th, 2009 3:26 pm

    Is anyone else getting annoyed by the “Everybody clap your hands” beat that they keep playing?

  14. diderot on August 16th, 2009 3:30 pm

    I seriously don’t understand the Rob Johnson hate here.

    I don’t think it’s hate at all. Just continued amazement at the disparity between his actual performance and what the team apparently sees.
    In other words, if a guy can’t hit and can’t catch, can his ‘leadership’ really be a help?

  15. apunetid on August 16th, 2009 3:34 pm

    Aceves!

  16. apunetid on August 16th, 2009 3:38 pm

    Can anybody explain Gaudin’s Gameday picture to me?

  17. G-Man on August 16th, 2009 3:39 pm

    Ichiro’s hit makes up for Jeter’s 3 cheap hits today.

  18. LefebvreBelebvre on August 16th, 2009 3:42 pm

    Would one of the moderators please post on the need to at least consider re-signing Erik Bedard this coming off-season?

    I know, I know: [ot]

  19. G-Man on August 16th, 2009 3:42 pm

    A couple more runs sand Bautista could finish this game.

  20. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 3:45 pm

    Well, I go out and run for an hour and what happens?…WOWEEEEE!!! 🙂

  21. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:45 pm

    Can anybody explain Gaudin’s Gameday picture to me?

    AAEIII!! Don’t do that again!

    These Devil’s pubs thing that pitchers have going these days is extremely disturbing and needs to stop.

  22. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 3:50 pm

    Who mentioned Jeter’s man tights yesterday? He is the last player wearing the scary tight long pants, right?

    Maybe he’s trying to impress whichever young starlet/pop star/model he’s dating this week.

  23. pgreyy on August 16th, 2009 3:54 pm

    Hey Liam,

    The “Everybody Clap Your Hands” thing actually makes me laugh–as a former nightclub dj. It’s from “The Cha Cha Slide” which is basically a modern line dance with square dance-style calls…and everybody jumps in and does the same dance, like sheep.

    I’m ironically pleased at how it works just as well at the stadium.

    I’m also ironically amused enough to enthusiastically sing the “slick pick-up trucks, big timin’ in a small town” line from Branyan’s at bat music (“Hillbilly Deluxe” by Brooks & Dunn (RIP))

    And Diderot is spot on about it not being “hate” for Rob Johnson here…but no needless and unreasonable “love” either.

  24. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 3:54 pm

    Is anyone else getting annoyed by the “Everybody clap your hands” beat that they keep playing?

    Yes!

    Though, unfortunately, they seem to be doing it all around the sports world at the moment.

  25. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 3:57 pm

    Maybe he’s trying to impress whichever young starlet/pop star/model he’s dating this week.

    Shoot, they pointed out the Flavor of the Month at one of the previous games. Kate Hudson? Or is she here with A-rod?

    I remember being surprised that he hadn’t gotten married yet. Isn’t it about time to marry some Tifani from the marketing department and start squeezing out little Jeters?

    Sweet, Joh.

  26. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 3:58 pm

    Good job, Kenji!

  27. jld on August 16th, 2009 4:03 pm

    Are we going to see Washburn in Detroit? The probable pitchers page has a ‘to be announced’ line for the starters of the final Tiger’s game. Does anyone know where they are in their rotation?

  28. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 4:03 pm

    Actually, yeah, A-Rod and Kate are an item these days…though I remember a few years back when it seemed like Jeter was doing the whole “Flavor of the Month” thing with a series of celebrity hotties as well — Mariah Carey being amongst them.

  29. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 4:06 pm

    Congrats on your first MLB win, Mister Fister!

    And against the rotten Yanks, no less! 🙂

  30. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 4:07 pm

    yeah, I remember her being a brunette, whoever the flavor was for Jeter. Damn. I hate getting old.

    Sims said something about Washburn being up during the Detroit series, not sure which game, jld.

    And WHOO! HOO! for Mister Fister! He gave it to the Yankees, if you know what I mean, and I think you do!

  31. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 4:10 pm

    Are we going to see Washburn in Detroit?

    Well, Wash went eight shutout innings on Friday night against the Royals…so I’m guessing we’ll probably get him in one game of this upcoming series against the Tigers.

  32. Liam on August 16th, 2009 4:12 pm

    Washburn should be scheduled to pitch against the Mariners and RRS on Thursday.

  33. Scottdids on August 16th, 2009 4:16 pm

    Jeter has been dating Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights for awhile now. Lucky bastard.

  34. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 4:20 pm

    Oh, sheesh, no kidding!

  35. samregens on August 16th, 2009 4:47 pm

    Man, it’s nice being on the right side of a blowout.

  36. diderot on August 16th, 2009 5:02 pm

    Jeter has been dating Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights for awhile now. Lucky bastard.

    And for anyone who likes sports, good writing and good acting, I highly recommend this show. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth going back and watching from the start.

  37. roulf on August 16th, 2009 5:18 pm

    Aw, I was hoping Fister would get a chance to pitch against Detroit. Apparently, its been his childhood dream to pitch against his longtime buddy Dusty Ryan in the majors (Detroit catcher), and they’ve both been called up this year from triple-A. Although, it looks like Dusty hasn’t been playing much lately anywho.

  38. Bremerton guy on August 16th, 2009 6:31 pm

    don’t think it’s hate at all. Just continued amazement at the disparity between his actual performance and what the team apparently sees. In other words, if a guy can’t hit and can’t catch, can his ‘leadership’ really be a help?

    Johnson’s OPS for July was .810 and for August it’s .774. Seems to me that lately he’s been hitting just fine.

  39. Bremerton guy on August 16th, 2009 6:32 pm

    Oops, sorry, messed up the block quotes.

    Heeeere we go again.

  41. kayjay on August 16th, 2009 7:04 pm

    I mentioned man tights. Jeter dated Halle Berry years ago. I vaguely remember Berry politely saying he was a jerk. The man tights and the starlets make me think ‘cough, Rock Hudson, cough’. Now I have to check out Fister’s brows.

  42. juneau_fan on August 16th, 2009 7:58 pm

    I don’t know about moving into Rock territory–he’d have to do the mirror kiss like A-rod before I went there–but it’s sort of sad and pathetic when the women stay the same age but the dude keeps getting older. I mean, everyone wore man tights…15 years ago.

  43. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 10:18 pm

    Jeter dated Halle Berry years ago. I vaguely remember Berry politely saying he was a jerk.

    Then again, she was married to David Justice for awhile as well…and, if I remember correctly, that wasn’t exactly a match made in heaven, either.

  44. Joe on August 16th, 2009 10:48 pm

    …the women stay the same age but the dude keeps getting older.

    Yes, the metaphorical matthew mcconaughey, and so the celeb pop-tart TMZ circle is complete.

  45. kenshabby on August 16th, 2009 10:48 pm

    So…now the Mariners have won the last four (maybe five) games I’ve attended. This after they’d won around 15% of the games I’d attended up until this little streak.

    On a side note, I was surrounded by Yankee fans today, just as I was surrounded by Red Sox fans at the game I went to in May. Red Sox fans are worse.

  46. Joe on August 16th, 2009 10:50 pm

    BTW, I was watching a channel that was running a sports ticker, where they were listing players and injuries, and for a moment it looked exactly like this:

    Adrian Beltre (testicle)
    David Wright (head)

    And suddenly I realized our gay porn meme had escaped USSM….

  47. kayjay on August 16th, 2009 10:52 pm

    Oh yeah-her comment was about how horrible her taste in men was. I suppose my dislike of Jeter makes me suspect he does the mirror kissing. It is good man tights have become passé.

  48. scott19 on August 16th, 2009 11:18 pm

    Red Sox fans are worse.

    Somehow that doesn’t surprise me…give them a couple of WS trophies to beat everybody over the head with and all of a sudden they think they’re the masters of the freaking universe.

    Though I suspect the most obnoxious chowderheads at Bosox games are probably the ones who have so little connection to New England that they wouldn’t know a fresh Maine lobster if it reached up and snapped them on the nose. 🙂
