[Poll #1039921]

last week i tried to find andy mcphail's email address on the orioles' website so that i could tell him that if he would just go ahead and give matt wieters all the millions of dollars that mr. wieters wants in his contract, i would personally find a way to provide the orioles with that revenue. i failed to find mcphail's email address, which is probably for the best, as, with the signing deadline looming, i'm reducing to lying on the living room floor wailing, "JUST GIVE HIM THE MONEY, ANDY, AND THEN THROW STEVE TRACHSEL IN AS A BONUS," which i'm not sure is the sort of email andy mcphail wants to receive.

shep.'s only commentary: "what's matt wieters gonna do with steve trachsel?"

ETA: MATT WIETERS SIGNED AT THE VERY LAST ABSOLUTE SECOND. no word yet on whether or not his deal includes any useless starting pitchers.

ETA2: i am going on record, so that when m.wiets hits the majors next year, it is entirely clear who has a claim on him: SHEP AND I SAW HIM FIRST, BITCHES.

Papelbon/Tek? Worse than incest. It makes me want to cry just thinking about how bad and sad that would be.

The correct answer is, C) Papelbon/Beckett. :)

THAT IS NEVER THE RIGHT ANSWER, HOLY CHRIST.

perhaps i could interest you in tek/mirabelli/schilling? ... not that i wrote it, mind you, just that i FOUND it this evening.

Why ... I mean, if you're going to write BSox porn, why involve Schilling?

Also, I am not interested in reading Verlander/Pudge plz do not link.

But now I'm sure someone's OTP is Verlander/Miller, huh. And everyone ignores the hotness of sweet Granderson.

actually, the otp in this house is [livejournal.com profile] onthecontrary/andrew miller. for the record, etc.

sandy, i'm sorry, but you should be forced to read the verlander/pudge BECAUSE YOU PICKED TEK/POD. GOD. HARD FOR US. also, i think min. found some verlander slash earlier; i cannot be sure, for i was screaming. I KNOW we've found kyle farnsworth noncon. ALAS, HE WAS NOT NONCONNING JUSTIN VERLANDER.

Kyle Farnsworth noncons whomever he wants. Presumably even Jeter remembers the body slam from the detroit days and quakes before Farnsworth.

Hey, people are gonna write what they write. At least Tek/Pap is an existingly friendly relationship and not the deep hate sex of Tek/Gollum. I don't like hatesex, maaaaaaaaaaan.

IT BURNS.

Just. There is a reason I stay away from the baseball slash comms, and, yes, okay, that reason is the scary, scary 'Varitek rapes Dice-K' fic we once stumbled upon, but now I will also stay away because what if I accidentally read Schilling slash?.

No, no, no, the correct answer is, C) Jason Varitek/Nomar Garciaparra (while at Georgia Tech &/or in the Olympics). Obviously.

Though, yes, you know that I'd totally dig the Papelbon/Beckett, esp. if it involved epic video game tournaments. Because I am easy. As is Beckett.

And/or, you know, things that are already in the works.

But I promised Justin Verlander I would stop talking about how he sleeps with Pudge Rodriguez, so I can't say another word.

Ha, yes, things that are already in the works FT(secret)W.

But, yeah, dude, you've actually got me creeped out by Pudge Rodriguez now, so you should probably stop with that action. Just to say.

i said it before and i'll say it again: it hurts me, deep in my heart and my soul and possibly even my girl parts, that i can only pick DEATH once, and that one vote simply cannot convey the horror i am STILL FEELING.

Mirabelli/Wakefield.

... i got no words for that. srsly. just. totally picking death, here. :D

Pedroia/Cora?

I second the comment. Steve Trachsel? What the hell would *anyone* do with Steve Trachsel? But McPhail should totally be throwing money at Wieters.

he would have to clean the litter box, if shep. and i bought him. we feel it's an excellent use for him. :)

Heh. That's about the only use for him.

so, we were on the way to the nats game tonight (btw - you will be receiving a bobble-head Abraham Lincoln on Saturday...and if you can somehow manage to snag one for me, i will love you even more than i already do), and the sports guys on the radio were talking about the O's trying to sign Wieters, and I made a noise about how I had seen him (because i think i did?) and he was from Georgia Tech, and how you guys loved him. And then my dad was awesome and said, "And where's he from?" (but he also asked similar questions for about 90% of what I said on the way to the game).

i don't think you saw him -- the ga tech series was the weekend of graduation, shep and i went to the first game with pru and julia and the second with my ex-coworker sarah. but, oh, maggie, not only is he an amazing amazing ballplayer, he is SO HOT, TOO.

and he is from south carolina originally. i shall marry him and make the tiny southern rich rich rich baseball-playing babies.
 
posted by [identity profile] darastar.livejournal.com at 02:35am on 16/08/2007
maybe i thought i saw him because y'all talked about him so much. that must be it.

so...it almost counts. ;)

I would have preferred cake, but oh well.

BSox porn? There are no words.
 
i am so mad at him right now, but goddamn everyone, i staked that claim months ago, and i will fight for it if necessary. also: ANDREW BRACKMAN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANNOT HAVE ANOTHER DRINK I BRUSHED MY TEETH ALREADY FUCK AND SHIT. you know what this means? NIGHTMARES AGAIN TONIGHT. WHERE IS HOVIS WHEN I NEED HIM.
 
BEST PART OF THIS WHOLE THING: "They got the deal done," said Orioles scouting director Joe Jordan. "You can tell the City of Baltimore that the old evil owner stepped up and took care of things tonight. We had to fight to the end."

joe jordan doesn't have a job anymore, but, man, tomorrow, tomorrow the sun will give me a picture of matt wieters holding up an orioles jersey with his name on the back and i will EXPLODE IN A MILLION PIECES. i will try to explode in the bathroom so you have less mess to clean up.

also, hovis is in the minor leagues somewhere, but i bet we could kidnap him.
