Wow.

WOW.

I just got back from the store, sat in the parking lot for a while listening to the end of that game. Some dude looked at me because my car was rocking back and forth. Musta thought some college kids were having sex but it was just me yelling at my radio YOUUUUUUUUU EAT A DICK PAPELBON! YOUU EAT A DICK!

Hype.

But it was the Gyroball, man. THE GYROBALL! The greatest unhittable pitch in the history of baseball!

Wait, has he even ever thrown it during his MLB career?

1023

We wouldn’t know because the Gyroball is so powerful as to be completely imperceptible to those attempting to see it. We don’t even know if it really exists, because the Gyroball doesn’t WANT you to know if it exists or not. IT’S THAT GDLK!

Or something.

1024

The Gyroball is a change-up that goes straight. It doesn’t really do anything.

But hey, they got a World Series out of it in 2007…can’t knock that. Five year grace period, that’s the norm.

1025

Sanchez is pitching at Petco park again tonight which means for the third time

8 innings of 1 run ball, maybe 2 or 3 hits and the loss

1026

Matsuzaka’s first pro appearance was in an exhibition game against Boston College. The Gyro Ball was banned during that game, after Matsuzaka threw it right down the pipe and the batter, after making contact with it, exploded, sending pieces of NCAAer as far as Connecticut.

Do I have the best pitching staff in the ESPN league? I would say yes

And I didn’t draft a pitcher until the 10th round and that was a closer!!!

making VSlash look bad 24/7

1028

My pitching staff is more handsome anyway.

1029

Beckett looking like a genius signing that contract right after getting destroyed by the Yanks in game 1 of the year. He is so done

Also how the hell is Wagner hitting 100mph at 38?

1030

Horse meat in his diet?

Nah I’m just fuckin around, it’s HGH lol.

1031

If you guys are wondering why my fantasy team suck so bad, it’s because I’m trying to match my team with the M’s. I will only win when the M’s win.

… in other words

Enjoy the Seattle Free Wins this year.

:coffee:

1032

Anyone else see Thames throw his bat into the base path and step on it on his way to first? Sprained his ankle on that. :lol:

Also: PWNED!

1033

Angel Pagan = inside the park hr and a triple play in the same game. Could have had the first unassisted triple play in baseball history if the umps called his catch correctly right away.

^_-;

1034

…Really?

1035

first outfielder i guess is what he meant

seems it only happens on a hit and run when the SS or 2B catches a line drive

1036

I don’t think you have any idea what an “unassisted” triple play is.

I think Tampa Bay had a wacky triple play back in 2006 or 2005 that involved an outfielder as well. …I vaguely remember Rocco was thrown out trying to tag from first to second, and the other guy didn’t tag up properly going home from third.

1037

maybe you should click that …really link that has a list of all unassisted triple plays then edit your post and i will delete mine and no one will ever know this exchange happened

1038

No. Better to let our shame be perserved for all time, as a warning to others. I am a victim of my own hubris.

1039

do what i do, just pretend you’re trolling. i made a stupid mistake inthe survivor thread, turned it into trolling, and got out of it.

also while on the topic of trolling:

  • J. Bard walked
  • J. Wilson singled to shallow center, J. Bard to second
  • I. Suzuki sacrificed to pitcher, J. Bard to third, J. Wilson to second
  • C. Figgins sacrificed to first, J. Bard scored, J. Wilson to third
  • F. Gutierrez grounded out to second

lol mariners. suicide squeeze is the onyl way they can score

1040

I actually get to laugh at another team for once today.

LOL Reds.
