re: The ATL Thread: Hanson vs. Pineda Edition

Wish Freddie would have worked the count a little there. But he's young. Hopefully that will come with time. At least there's a chance now though.

The Mariners said Olivo left Tuesday's game because of cramps, Kirby Arnold of the Everett Herald reports.
Spin: The temperature at game time was in the mid-60s, but apparently Olivo did not hydrate properly. The condition should not keep him out for future games.

Vaginitis is no laughing matter

Okay so my friend lives down some road in the middle of nowhere. It's marked in the map below with a purple arrow.

It's around 3:00, and me, him, and a couple other guys are hanging out at my friend's house playing some video games and a game of Risk. My friend gets a call from another guy who lives nearby saying that he can't come over because there's a gigantic wreck blocking his subdivision. So for the next 15 minutes the guy who I barely know repeatedly says "Hey guys let's go check out the wreck."

Well we finally decide to go and he wants to drive. Being the stupid redneck that he is, he has a gigantic truck. To make things better, he hooks his iPhone into his radio playing the theme music to the Risk app (It can be heard here: LINK.) So he's blasting this field combat music from his gigantic truck driving down the road to look at a wreck. Well he's doing about 42-45 on a road that has a speed limit of 35. We passed the rubble from the wreck (indicated by a grey dot). It had been mostly cleared up at this point in time, but we could tell it was a bad wreck since the sign in front of the subdivision was completely destroyed. Soon after we pass the wreck we hear sirens go off. There was a police officer still hanging out across the street (he is indicated by a blue dot). Well when he hears the siren he guns it. He's doing 90 and is debating where he's going to go. He comes up to the main highway and starts to turn right, but changes his mind and backs up and takes the service road. In the mean time the police officer is turning around and we're out of view since we had just gone over a hill. So he's doing 80 on this service road on which it isn't uncommon to see police. The officer must've gone the wrong way, as he never got on the service road. The guy then turns left to go back to my friend's house.

About halfway back, he determines that he's safe, so he begins to celebrate. Despite the fact that there's a perfectly fine paved road, he decides to drive in the grass adjacent to the road. He then picks up his megaphone and starts screaming "WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER!" into it in the style of his hero, the Amazing Racist (heard here: LINK).

Here is a map of the area (the green line indicates the times when he was driving like normal, the red line is when he was flooring it, and the black line is when he was celebrating.)

Why didn't Alex bunt there?

So Nasty Nate can have the glory. 3 run HR right here.

I would pinch-hit Brooks

I love AGon but he absolutely kills me when he as at bats like that. Guy can't find the plate and he strikes out on a ball.

At least the other 3 guys this inning have been patient.

Anything short of getting the lead here is a failure
