PrintYou gotta respect the completely pathetic effort our boys have turned in tonight. Baseball is a funny game huh? They looked horrible last night and look awesome just as completely terrible tonight.
Question: are any of y'all U2 fans? What's your favorite album?

War probably is my favorite U2
also like the latest offering although it might have been a little overproduced.
Side U2 story, one of the best moments of my life may have been on my rugby team’s Arizona trip. I was sitting on the bus and the two Irish dudes on the team are sitting together talking, and I heard them talking about U2. I listened a little bit closer, and it was so awesome listening to them debate the meanings of some song with their heavy irish accents. It was really funny.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
Unforgettable Fire
And “Unforgettable Fire” itself is the most underrated U2 song ever.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Go Blue and good night now!

The worst thing about rain delays on MLBEI
They keep playing the same song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and

Can we move Davies to the pen now?
Although Unforgettable Fire has my two favorite songs in “Bad” and “Pride,” I have probably listened to Joshua Tree more than any other album, and seeing the Joshua Tree tour was one of the highlights of my youth.
More Esteban!

What Kind Of
Bizarro World strike zone do we have now? Gator takes 2 up and in for called strikes then watches one on the outside corner for a ball. If it’s high and inside, swing.

Under a Blood Red Sky
Rattle & Hum
The Joshua Tree
Unforgettable Fire
Wide Awake in America
I don't fight extra players.

I still laugh at people who say this team is better than last's
“by leaps and bounds”
Please. Better than 2004 or 2005 for sure, but this team still eats dick. And Hillman has made more pitching blunders than Pena Sr. could’ve ever imagined.
Destined for failure.
don't forget 2006!

Is it fair to begin the Jose Guillen vs. Emil Brown debate again?
Keep in mind, I haven’t looked at Brown’s stats in 2 months.
Destined for failure.
probably not....i don't think brown is doing anything
in fact he may not have a job every day since they acquired murton

Ross Gload....Negative VORP.....77 OPS +
that’s not better than Gordon
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Jul 23, 2008 1:43 AM EDT up reply actions
Ah, but you see,
Gload is supposed to suck, while Alex Gordon is supposed to be George Brett circa 1980.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Hey, I was at the game
and moved to around 4 rows behind the legacy seat for the second part of the game.
Were individual fans audible for that part of the game? I don’t think I got on FSN though. I’d have to actually find a replay though.
The only heckling highlights of the 7th through 9th were “The Clear IS steroids” to Sheffield, and I think a fan or two pissed off Ordonez (I don’t think the “pretty bat” stuff got to Renteria though)
But good fucking lord.. we keep starting Gload, and Hillman banishes Teahen to Siberia?
At least Esteban German provides hope to all the children of the world. I was sorta hoping that his drive onto the warning track into the mote would lead to an inside the park home run.
The people who booed when the rain delay were called are too stupid to realize that we needed to get Rogers out of that game.
Also, Joel Peralta is fucking lucky that he didn’t give up a few homers in the top of the 7th. Why is Joel Peralta throwing 50 pitches in relief? that doesn’t seem to make things too much better for our pen.
Dang, missed the game.
U2, though. Not a huge fan, but i saw them at Oakland-Alameda CS in 11/87 on the Joshua Tree tour as a naive 18 year old HS senior, while visiting my brother in college. Stadium Rock at its finest…no chairs on the field, just bodies crammed in so tight you could lift your legs and still remain upright. you would suddenly shift 15 feet and have no control. People who passed out or just needed out had to be passed back overhead, with half the people trying to help and half trying to grope. Crazy days…great show, though. BoDeans and Pretenders opened.
My mother's basement is better than YOUR mother's basement!!
