He is very sensitive, isn't he?
I remember a kid in childhood like this.
Hated watching other kids fighting. Eventually we just kicked his ass instead.

 

Can you guys go piss on some other thread? You're all a joke.

 

You are violating a rule.
I don't know who Meatie is.

 

Happily, the potentially offending post was removed.

Excellent work by the Mods, as it was in this individual's previous attempts.

 

Interesting ending at Anaheim. Mariners used Fernando Rodney in a five-out save situation. He got out of the 8th with a 5-4 lead and made his grandiose bow-and-arrow movement, shooting toward the Angels dugout.
Some of the announcers wondered if Rodney forgot that it was only the eighth inning.
Anyway, in the ninth, Trout got a leadoff walk and Pujols doubled him in to tie the score. Almost simultaneously, Trout from home and Pujols from second pretended to shoot arrows at Rodney. Later, Grant Green singled in the winning run.

 

Remember when Ben Davis bunted on Schilling in a no-hitter.

 

This Jays fan is amazed Rasmus knows how to bunt.

 

Lewis just sounds like a big fucking baby here. Now, if it were 7-0, yeah, maybe the bunt crosses some line. At 2-0, the game is still very much in doubt. Can't blame Rasmus at all for taking what the defense is giving him. Don't want him to bunt? Don't play the shift.

 

Similarly (maybe more so), Schilling was out of line in the incident CJericho cited. IIRC, that was a 2-0 game as well. And Ryan Klesko, then one of the game's best power-hitters, was on deck. Davis gets on for Klesko, and it's not only bye-bye no-no, but maybe bye-bye lead.

 

Was that Schilling or Bob Brenly who flipped out? I remember it being more a matter of Brenly going nuts in the postgame.

 

It was Schilling who gave a big haurmph about how Davis was too young to understand the right way to play. Branley may have backed his pitcher, but Schilling was rolling his eyes on the mound and grumbling as the game was going on.
