This team and its starting pitcher are bad for this game. By the transitive property, if this thread is bad for the game, then the Indians are bad for this thread.
I’m rooting for the rainout, just as I was in the Toronto series. Had that game rained out (I think it was the first of the series and the fourth of the year), that whole series could have turned out differently. We were not prepared for that particular game.
Guys! Guys! Guys!
I told you Ben owns Andy!

Yeah was talking to my mom when it happened. Knew it was Jhonny, wasn’t sure if it was a makeable play.
FE WEE
It was tough but makable. DeRosa most likely makes it. Longoria definitely makes it with absolutely no problem.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Tough to say. It was a tough hop. I don’t know how many other first baseman catch that.

Haha Carl is so pumped.

I caught Manning telling him to come join them in the booth. I’ll wait until the end of the inning to watch the whole thing…
OK, now.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
Yeah. I agree. Just have him leave when Grady comes up apparently.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Basically Carl was pumped that the team was coming back.
He said all the good things a teammate does but it didn’t sound hokey.
He seems to really be enjoying himself.

No. But BenFran is the answer against Sonnanstine.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions
The righties are seeing the grip in Sonnanstine’s hand. That’s why the righties hit so well against him. The lefties have trouble because they can’t see the grip. Sonnanstine hesitates his hand in the air before releasing the ball.
If I’m figuring right, Sonanstine is responsible for boosting BenFran’s career OPS by about 35 points, from about 735 without to 770 with.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Since we’re done with Tampa for the year, it’s time to trade Ben right? I’m sure we could convince someone that Ben is the new AL East market inefficiency.
by supermarioelia on May 27, 2009 10:39 PM EDT reply actions
It’d be neat if every team in the AL agreed to continually trade Ben to the next team facing Sonnanstine.

Good plan. Tell Shap to start calling around.

And then we can laugh back at him for this team he’s put together. Hah, so there.

Manning, you’re worse than some chump sitting next to me in the bleachers.
by supermarioelia on May 27, 2009 10:44 PM EDT reply actions
He irritates the hell out of me, but I couldn’t answer Julie’s question last night about who was worse, him or Underwood.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
It is easy. Underwood is dumb. Manning isn’t so bad.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions
Almost exactly. I like Manning except when he starts getting preachy. And that probably isn’t the right word.
Then he just makes me laugh. especially the sunglasses rants. Those are the best.

I tried one. It was gross. Haven’t tried another. I guess I haven’t had a very wide selection. But it just seems like it’s gross. I stick with Gin Bucket, Party Juice, and jello shots.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions
It was a frat party beer. I think it was Bud Light.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Which ones? Gin Bucket and Party Juice?
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Gin Bucket- Lemonade and Vodka.
Party Juice- Fruit punch and Vodka and sometimes Sprite.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah there was a debate early in the year about what to call it. I think in the south they call it party juice and occasionally substitute Kool Aid for Hawaiin Punch
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:47 PM EDT up reply actions
I miss college, where you actually have debates over the names of party drinks.
Oh wait, I’m doing that now.
My Cincinnati friend still insists it is called Jungle Juice.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah it’s lame. Remember frat boys named it.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions
I just looked it up and it seems as though it actually is suppossed to use gin. And you’ll need a turkey baster.
Maybe they do. Someone told me it was Vodka. Liar.
by ClemsonGirl on May 27, 2009 11:53 PM EDT up reply actions
As noted in the definition, a proper gin bucket must be consumed using a turkey baster. In some regions, a gin bucket is properly drunk by first gathering 6-10 friends and 2 turkey basters.
Well, when you have 2 turkey basters you know you have a party.
You’ve made at least 80 comments in the past 2.5 hours. By the time I finish writing this, you’ll probably be up to 90. That’s well above your average of around 20 posts a day, which is probably the greatest rate of any poster. By the end of this season you will have passed everyone in posting quantity with the possible exception of Jay, although at his current rate you might have a shot at his alltime leading comment volume.
Does it make me a jerk for saying this? Probably. I can’t keep up with the volume of posts on this site. I’ll have to stop trying.

No offence dude, but we’re not in this thread to provide content for you. Read whatever the hell you want, but try not to waltz in here and criticize posting frequency of all things.

I’ve tried three times to reply to you or mario, and my comp has frozen each time.
You’re free to ignore my remarks, but I ask that you be considerate of the volume so that other people can join in. Just consider it—all that I ask.

I could post a jpeg of a DJ winding back the record, yell “psyche!” and take it all back, right? You know, let it blow over. Is that still in play?
Or I could admit that I really wasn’t kidding. Just my 2 cents, guys. Time for me to move on.
Didn’t mean to show you up Westbrook—sorry it came out like that. You keep on doin’ your thing.
I’m doing Shap’s work for him. We need to trade Francisco to the Blue Jays.

I do prefer Northern Boys. They’re edgier. I like southern accents though.
by ClemsonGirl on May 28, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions
Haha no kiddin, I’m like the opposite of edgy. I’m like a circle. Which I guess is the opposite of a square…hey sweet, I’m not square anymore!
by supermarioelia on May 28, 2009 12:03 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah. It’s true. It may not be like a real thing but the accents and the yes ma’am’s do not give off an edgy vibe.
by ClemsonGirl on May 28, 2009 12:04 AM EDT up reply actions
I know almost only Northern people and I don’t know a whole lot of edgy ones. I guess I’m not 100% clear on what you mean by edgy..

I don’t know either. That’s just what I call it. Sorry for the confusion.
by ClemsonGirl on May 28, 2009 12:07 AM EDT up reply actions
The one thing I hate about this team is that every guy that is left on 2b feels like a huge missed opportunity (considering our bullpen problems). No matter what the score.
Its going to take a long time to shake that feeling.
What problems? All I see Aquino and Raffy B being balllllller.
by supermarioelia on May 27, 2009 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah. I’m still half-freaking out whenever an opposing player gets on base. Especially after the 6th inning.

i should tell (retell?) my Danys Baez/Shooters story sometime.
after a while, i wasn’t sure if he was trying to get me drunk or my hot female friend.
You know Selig? Ombudsman.
Probably you. She was just sober-bait.
"I gotta be honest, I dunno much about the climate in Japan." - Matt Underwood
there are memories, there are lasting images and then there’s watching Baez point at each of us in a semicircle facing him say “CORONA! CORONA! CORONA! CORONA! CORONA!”, and then starting at the beginning again saying “TEQUILA! TEQUILA! TEQUILA! TEQUILA! TEQUILA!”, and having his “assistant” come back with all 10 on a tray within the minute.
good times.
You know Selig? Ombudsman.
Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. After dropping a Lee start, It’s especially nice to win when Fausto bombs and Zachson struggles.
The Tribe’s starting pitching situation still gives me cold sweats, but this is starting to feel … dare I say it … right.
