Wood (3-0, 5.12) Meche (4-4, 4.87)
Mike Wood has a 5.92 xFIP despite one of the lowest line drive percentages in all of baseball (15.0%). Long story short, even crappy players get lucky. Gil Meche is a pitcher, which means he has a 1-in-3 chance of shutting out the Royals tonight, but he also stands a 2-in-3 chance of looking like Gil Meche, in which case this could turn out to be the most depressing series split of all time.

Hey
still pretty much in a drunken blur for the last 1 1/2 week since my birthday and will continue the drinking until Hargrove gets removed. (could be a long summer)Scruffy Lefty - June 5, 2006
I wonder how many people
have Hargrove-related comment sigs.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
to many
I am thinking about starting a website like SaveToby.comexcept it will be save Scruffy from Drinking himself to death and instead of getting money all I want is for hargrove to go away
Scruffy Lefty - June 5, 2006
So what is going to happen with Carl Everett
I really don't want him around next year but he's at 195 ABs right now. I don't really know what the AB limit is for his option to vest but I'm scared because there is no reasonable replacement for him right now. His line right now at .251/.332/.395. This isn't very good for a DH and Snelling looks like he might need a little longer in AAA since his power isn't really back.Edgar for Pres - June 5, 2006
420 plate appearances or so IIRC
We don't have to worry about his option vesting until the end of July.Gomez - June 5, 2006
And with Hargrove still here
he will get itScruffy Lefty - June 5, 2006
Also
We thought the 12 man pitching staff was bad. Baltimore has a 13 man right now"Given the choice of keeping Chavez as the third-string catcher or going with a 13-man pitching staff, Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo chose the latter."
Scruffy Lefty - June 5, 2006
Hmm, yeah
You've got problems if you need 3 catchers. I'd go with 13 pitchers too given the choice, especially with that "starting rotation".However, what they need is another competent outfielder.
Gomez - June 5, 2006
Heh.
I thought the main page headline on Mariners.com read "Mariners, Meche try to screw up series victory."Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
It has to be posted:

Huh? Weird.Gomez - June 5, 2006
If Meche keeps throwing that curve
he's going to be Good Gil today.Also, Carlos Zambrano is currently no-hitting Houston through seven (99 pitches).

this hockey game has been incredible.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
So true
btw Im making the claim of Carolina in 6tiddley - June 5, 2006
I have no prediction.
I don't even care who wins. I just want to be entertained.So far, so good.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
I'm sure...
The other 2 people who are watching agree with you.PLU Tim - June 5, 2006
True
but its better that 2 people watch hockey than billions watching soccer. World Cup sucks.Edgar for Pres - June 5, 2006

I hate umps. The technology is there to replace them.Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006
Well that was a strike.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Willie Ballgame-esque route, Jeremy.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Thats what happens
when you never get to play.Edgar for Pres - June 5, 2006
Quality route there...
PLU Tim - June 5, 2006
He probably figured
that with two outs, a double and a triple are the same, so he might as well see if he can make the catch.Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006
Except he wasn't close at all.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Right
but for a few seconds, it looked like he had a shot with a dive. And like I said, a double and a triple are basically the same in that situation.Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006
Just got in from playing softball
looks like I haven't missed much.bluemax - June 5, 2006
If I knew for sure
that a loss would mean Hargrove gets removed, I'd be rooting for KC.Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006

puck
For as wild as the third period in this hockey game, it's kinda too bad it had to end on a terrible goal.HOLY CRAP, CAM WARD IS THE MAN.
wackomann - June 5, 2006
No kidding.
Letdown of an ending, even if I don't really have a side.What a save, though. Jesus.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
arm save
That arm save with the open net after Carolina had just made it 4-3 was nothing short of incredible.But if you're Edmonton and you just blew a 3-0 lead in the third period and lost, I think Game 2 is a must-win for Edmonton. I know it's early, but if they don't take Game 2, Carolina's going to be on a crazy high going up north for Game 3.
And who knows if Dwayne Roloson will be on hand for Game 2. He's really their only goalie.
wackomann - June 5, 2006
Well
it was 3-1 going into the third, but your point is still valid.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
my bad
Yeah, my flub there. I don't know if I'd say it's Kirk Gibson Game 1 homer deflating for Edmonton, but if the Oilers don't take Game 2, it could be.wackomann - June 5, 2006
I agree
that save at the end was insanetiddley - June 5, 2006
I'm actually kinda hoping Carolina wins
just to spite all those people who don't like hockey played down south.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
raising cane
As much as I'd like to see a Canadian team win the Cup one of these days, the road to Statesiders giving a crap about the game is at least partially tied to hockey being grown in locales such as Nashville and Atlanta, who were two very entertaining teams this past season. Carolina went to the Cup finals a few years ago, but I'm sure a good deal of their fanbase was wiped away with the lockout.wackomann - June 5, 2006

Hargrove just called Bavasi to tell him, "I told you so."JLC - June 5, 2006
Soriano+Putz=Game Over
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
Or maybe Sherrill
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
Don't get excited, announcers
Gil pitched seven strong innings against the ROYALS. Need we keep reminding you?Gomez - June 5, 2006
Are we finally gonna win a low scoring game?
Tune in and find out!ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Nice outing for Sherrill.

GS52
has the shortest leash in baseball.Gomez - June 5, 2006
Always
squeezed a little too, by the umps. I thought a couple of those looked pretty good. DeJesus didn't have to swing if the umps weren't going to call anything close.elsid - June 6, 2006
Where was that pitch?
Ump must hail from Topeka.JLC - June 5, 2006
re: the MGD Growing Up beer commercial
Wouldn't you graduate to microbrews and imports, rather than shitty MGD?Gomez - June 5, 2006
Bwahahaha
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
I wish I had a remote control
that could declare baseball games over whenever I wanted.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
I wish I had a remote control
That could fast forward things in real life, slow things down, and stop time altogether.Sort of like the one Adam Sandler has.
JLC - June 5, 2006
I would stop time
drive to the airport, fly to Seattle, catch a cab to Safeco, walk into the Mariner dugout, and put Ron Hassey's hand on Hargrove's ass, because that would be funny to me.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Sorianowned.
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
RAFAELOL
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
OMGWTFSORIANO?
Gomez - June 5, 2006
Soriano
Just "K" them. No use trying to pick them off.ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Jesus H Christ
Soriano has 8 pickoff attempts and 5 pitches...must be pretty worried about DeJesus...appleshampoo - June 5, 2006
Graduating from high school:
Mike D. in Issaquah.Good to see the Beastie Boys getting their diplomas.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
They gotta fight for their right to graduate
Gomez - June 5, 2006
Awesome.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Soriano just K'd.
Like 22 characters worth of last names.JLC - June 5, 2006
SOOORRRIANO
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
Um
Beltre is NOT going steady with anything, Rico.Gomez - June 5, 2006
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
OMGWTFKKK!
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Man
Raffy was pretty excited about that.Gomez - June 5, 2006
Good lord.
That was the best slider he's ever thrown.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Question
How would you rate his slider? To my untrained eyes, it seems a bit average...WAB - June 5, 2006
Right now
...it's probably somewhere around a 45-50 on the 20-80 scouting scale. Not real good, that one pitch aside.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Sorry
WWE-like pay per view commercials don't make me interested in boxing.Gomez - June 5, 2006
That was filthy.
JLC - June 5, 2006
Bunting?
Ehh....you're in the lead with nobody on...ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Betancourt
unthinkably fast, except when stealingMatthew - June 5, 2006
Yuni!
Leadoff doubles of...Cuba...Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
He was running
like Fidel was behind him in a jeep.Gomez - June 5, 2006
AHAHA!
Good one GomezWAB - June 5, 2006
Betancourt!!!!
Aggressive Baserunning will sometimes get you an extra base like that but not always and usually you make an out trying to stretch a single into a double!!!!!!!!!!!!JLC - June 5, 2006
Beta is the one guy on the team its okay
hes super fast. it will pay off a good amount of the time.phil333 - June 5, 2006
Ready for a round of "Who Cares"?
Barry Bonds hit a homer tonight. 5th inning, one on.kva15 - June 5, 2006
Why should we?
Until he gets near 750, it's not news anymore.Matthew - June 5, 2006
He might not ever get to 750
and if he does (Jeff will love this), it'll probably be in an Angels uniform DH'ing ahead of Vlad.kva15 - June 5, 2006
That would make them even easier to hate
somehow.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
ABBA blaring over Safeco PA.
I'm ill, yet delighted.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
LOL
New FSN commercial with interviews and analysts from the various teams, making various remarks about why their respective teams sucked.Gomez - June 5, 2006
Joel looks like a pedophile
In that Mariners Care commercial.Fett42 - June 5, 2006
Really tired of those morons in the stands
Trying to get on camera behind the hitters.JLC - June 5, 2006
Lopez
Brinin the pain.ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Jose Lopez kicks so much ass
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
I don't care if its the Royals
Lopez is so f'in good.phil333 - June 5, 2006
I will have Jose Lopez's children.
Matthew - June 5, 2006
God damn, he's good.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
IBB Ibanez
To get to Sexson again.ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
uh-oh
does the IBB reverse whammy curse work when the bases aren't loaded?Matthew - June 5, 2006
guess so
Matthew - June 5, 2006
Sexson!!!
IBB KARMA!!!JLC - June 5, 2006
Well, this one's over.
Disaster averted.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Well
There goes our low-scoring ballgame. :(ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Carl Everett on the other hand...
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
Jesus Everett looks lost
Fett42 - June 5, 2006
luckily Everett is here to keep it a save sit
Matthew - June 5, 2006
Just realized
If we score one more this isn't a save opportunity and Guardado might come into the game.JLC - June 5, 2006
Great AB, DH!
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Well that's good
If Everett actually got a hit it would have killed JJ's save opportunity.kva15 - June 5, 2006
Haha
Everett is terrible.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Do the Ms realize it's after June 1st?
They can go ahead and trade Everett now.Matthew - June 5, 2006
Trade
Ahahahahahahahahahaha...Fett42 - June 5, 2006
But with Crazy Carl gone...
All of the team's grit would have to come from Willy Ballgame, and that may be too much for one man to handle.ningwers - June 5, 2006
Eh
We'd just call up Little Garciaparra or Youngbauer.Gomez - June 5, 2006
But they don't have Carl's veteran composure
ningwers - June 5, 2006
Well then, Raul will need to step up
Gomez - June 5, 2006
The Mariners
Are 4-0 when Raul Everett is in the lineup.ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Isn't it June 15th?
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
YES KKK PUTZ
THE KKK TOOK YOUR RALLY AWAY!Gomez - June 5, 2006
Stairs
Looks like Matt Stairs was looking for blueberry pie instead of a fastball down the center.Get your head in the game, man.
JLC - June 5, 2006
Matt Stairs doesn't deserve this.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
One more out...
and we're back in third place.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
And the Royals
send the fear-inducing Mark Teahen to the plate to save the game....kva15 - June 5, 2006
Wooooooooooooo Putz
Good game all around.Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
ball game.
3-1. Minimum acceptable outcome of series. Maybe they can take some momentum into the ----ahhh fuck it, they wont.Matthew - June 5, 2006
Putz!
Door = closed.JLC - June 5, 2006
Now can we carry it over against the Twinkies??
I hope so. And let's get some good picks tomorrow. I want pitchers first two rounds but then we should go Oakland A's style with college hitters. Like Clement.phil333 - June 5, 2006
ugh
Joel Piñeiro and Gil Meche have been enigmatic as all get-out this season, but they're tied for the staff lead with five wins apiece while Moyer and Washburn have three each. Tell me there isn't something horribly wrong with that.wackomann - June 5, 2006
Gameday
Says the Royals won 5-0 with the game ending in the 8th inning.What planet is this on?
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006

Oog want Clam Digger!(gold star to whoever gets this reference)
wackomann - June 5, 2006
Whoa Whoa Whoa
Hold the phone. Game day is reporting that we lost the game 5-0. The game didnt even GO into the 9th inning.Here's the line:
2B: Buck (9, Meche), Graffanino (9, Soriano).
3B: DeJesus (2, Meche).
TB: DeJesus 4; Graffanino 2; Mientkiewicz; Sanders 2; Stairs; Buck 2.
RBI: DeJesus 2 (4), Stairs (19), Graffanino (17), Sanders (28).
I hate you gameday, I hate you so much - even when we win, we lose.
CecilEltz @ Lookout Landing - June 5, 2006
That is beyond spectacular.
Jeff Sullivan - June 5, 2006
Even MLB wants Hargrove fired.
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
They fixed it, lol.
ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
Did they just sim the game on Xbox and use that?
Gomez - June 5, 2006
Why don't they allow teams
to trade picks?Edgar for Pres - June 5, 2006
WTF?!?!
Yahoo says it's 4-3 M's, ESPN.com says it's 3-0 Royals, MLB.com says it's 4-1 M's. Who do I believe?Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006
No shit
I just got home, and didn't see the game.Who won? And what is the real score?
Goose - June 5, 2006
Yahoo also sez
that Junior drove in seven runs with a 9th inning HR.Gomez - June 5, 2006
yipe
This is a gaffe on the level of Voter News Services on Election Night in 2000. Okay, maybe not.wackomann - June 5, 2006
if you please...
Hope that wasn't too Dennis Milleresque, but read more if you don't know or forgot.wackomann - June 5, 2006
I'm pretty sure we won 4-1.
Rollo Tomasi - June 5, 2006
Gil Meche says he was tired by the 5th inning?
Man, what a wuss...ThundaPC - June 5, 2006
