Borders and Sele game plan:
Walk Delgado if you're behind the count.

Don't walk any batters in front of him.

Re: Delgado
Still can't believe they didn't bring in Thornton or Villone to face him (giggling inside).
Weren't the bases loaded?
Darn.  Missed opportunity.  They could've used Putz and given Delgado 3 more RBIs for the night.  
Delgado
At least bringing in Villone gave us the chance of walking him with one pitch.  (now laughing inside)
Dave's red leisure suit
Guaranteed loss.
Red Leisure Suit
But how is Rizz parting that rug?  If it's off to the left, we've got a chance.

Never underestimate the power of a man's rug.

snowballs chance in hell
= chance of Mariners winning today

I also said that yesterday and the M's surprised me as to how good they did against Willis.

Hopefully they surprise me again today.

wow
Ichiro is starting to worry me, he nevers strikes out that ugly.
The wind made Ichiro strike out.
Isn't that right, Ron?
Damn
Beckett is sick
And
And we respond with our counter attack of . . . .

Sele  . . . .

The
new K record?
Why?
Why are the Marlins actually helping Sele?
Thanks, Ron.
"Little contrast in pitchers tonight..."
He did not say that?
Looks like Borders got the message to Sele about Delgado.
Re: He did not say that?
"Beckett throws hard, and Sele throws softer."

Also drew comparisons between their curveballs.

I don't get it...

I don't get it...
hence Fairly
see...
Beckett is a good pitcher and Sele is a bad pitcher that's the difference between these to guys
holy beckett
aa-ron se-le! clap clap! clap clap clap!
23 more K's to go!
4 straight k's
Gonna be a loooooong night
Well, at least
Boone and Ibanez made contact.  

Holy Blisters, Batman! This should break our series winning streak.  

Holy shit
Somebody shoot morse
time for a
pinch hiiiiiiiiiiiiiitter!
Ichiro's average down to
.304
There you go Morse!
I love it.
33 pitches
so far for Beckett
Beckett's been listening to Ricoh
35
for Sele
93 MPH pitch to Beltre...
"There's the slider." - Dave.
Waltz
I'm listening to how fantastic Sele is/was in 2001.  I hate this...I swear I'm listening to post game commentary.
Nice break for the Mariners...
Woo!

1-0.

wow the marlins outfielders
cant field worth a damn
Wow
Nice defense...
Marlins OF Defense
has been ugly this series. No complaints, but come on.
In case anyone cares..
Ibanez was 12th in the AL in OPS before this game
Pat Freaking Borders
2-for-2

You've got to be kidding me.

Don't worry
he'll go 0 for his next 20.
.303 for ichiro
Dear Rain
please come soon.
wow Mariners getting alot of breaks today
failed hit and run
Randy Winn!!
First blast of the year!
WINN!!!
About damn time
I thought it would never happen!
Winnie
Finally hits one out
Names, brought to you by the Mariner broadcast
Randy Rimm
Mice Lowell
Raul Urbanez
c'mon
Urbanez work the count here, we got to get Beckett out of the game.
I really don't like
these Florida lottery commercials.
My next car..
Will NOT be purchased from Maroone.  Not there was much danger of that, but now it's sealed.
Whatever ghost is possessing Aaron Sele
needs to stick around for another four months.
Re: Whatever ghost is possessing Aaron Sele
I'd be happy with a month, and then not having to worry about him anymore
Rick Rizzs is a grandfather.
And the bloodline lives on for another generation.
Mike Morse
Seriously, this guy is looking pretty damn good
Re: Mike Morse
At the plate.
Pat Borders
Hitting him with a pitch is just mean.
iiiiiiiiiiiiichiiiiiiiiroooooooooo!!!
About time, Ichiro.
And we're well on our way to a pretty big win!
Pierre should be ashamed
he allowed Borders to score from second

Nice to see Ichiro get a hit

Winn!!
Put this one out of reach!
RANDY FREAKING WINN!!!
AND SELE SCORES!!!
OH RANDY!
You're too sweet.
Wow
anda against Beckett? They are looking like a different team right now.
Re: WOW WOW
We really don't look too bad now, do we? lol. Maybe playing interleague is really good for us and by the time we get back to AL, hopefully Beltre gets all he needs to take his frustration out on these guys.
Let me be the first to say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDY WINN!!!
I love Randy Winn
WOO
Loaded for Beltre...
And Sexson's got a chance for a huge, huge hit...
did you see that?????
Beltre just layed some close pitches

that was a good eye

I like
that walk a lot
Beltre
Beltre getting walks is a good thing, and that's how he'll break out of this slump.  Start laying off thos epitches low and away, start walking a little more, and then start mashing the better pitches he sees.

OH YEAH SEXY

GAME OVER MAN!!!
RICHIE SEXSON!!
RICHIE SEXSON!!
Pour it on!!
RICHIE FREAKING SEXSON
Delgadowned.
This is what we paid the big bucks for....
Let's go Richie!
Offense?
What is this? Offense?
we're
gonna wiiiin.
This is the lineup
we were looking for. Ichi and Winn setting the table, the big boppers piling it on!
Off to Cheney to see Felix.
It's a good day.
Ibby cracks it open!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
For the first time in quite a while
I feel PROUD to be Mariners fan.
Big time win
This is the momentum that this team desperately needs. Hope this spills over for a couple weeks.
And Boone...
...is still an ass-hat.
BOONE SUCKS!
heh-heh
ass-hat
Against NL Opponents.
Aaron Sele has so far gone 16 scoreless innings giving up... 1 walk and 9 hits. That's scary.
RE
and 4 K's
Who?
Who is this pitcher, and what has he done with Aaron Sele? ~77 pitches through 7?  WTF?  Another Sele shutout?

Who was that Florida pitcher, and what did he do with Josh Beckett?

Gerpotenwogen!  (I typed "Damn" first, but then remembered my lesson).

If this were Friday
I'd say its just a freaky Friday incident.They must of switched talents.
This game...
is unbefuckinlievable.
sele
why did they take him out?
Who's a better batter, Sele or Dobbs?
SELE
But Dobbs looks better striking out.
It's Sele
And I'd argue that it's because he doesn't delude himself into thinking he's a major league hitter.

Dobbs has a nicer swing though.

Dobbs
How poorly does someone have to perform before they are considering a problem in this organization.
I don't know
Ask Bobby Ayala.
At the rate Aaron Sele is going
He could be a 15-20 game winner for a NL team.

We should use that as trade incentive.

and...
at the rate Dobbs is going he would hit below the mendoza line in high A ball.
Re
Definitely, I hope we can trade him before his next start because for a fleeting moment his era is below 4 (3.99).
Amazing
A game like this, and Hargrove still manages to squeeze in a bad decision. Impressive, to say the least.
That raining beer commercial
cracks me up
Luck
M's BABIP today: .417
Marlins so far: .208

Yay luck!

Get this people
4 consecutive series wins

series wins in 6 out of the last 8

6 games under .500
