I hope we see another
Badass game saving takeout slide again.
And not another
Mateo Win Vulture...
Mateo win vulture
Does have the silver lining of us beating the Yankees.
Was this the Beltre HR
that he hit out, in spite of the pitch being nearly above his eyes?

Yeah, that was awesome.

Dear Sports God:
You've pissed me off enough this week, please at least let the M's be in the game when I get home from work.  Amen.
I heard this morning
That UW baseball was playing Oregon State at Safeco tonight at 7:30.
they are
And I was considering attending.

I haven't been to a college game since i was in college.

The M's winning
at least two of these games will really make my weekend.
Mariners went on a tear
after that win didn't they?
Felix, this time last year:
1-4 5.40 ERA, WHAT???????????
W/L, ERA are the worst ways to measure a pitcher
Untrue
Measuring a pitcher based on how many letters are in his middle name is worse than both W/L and ERA.
But middle initial is fair game
Example 1: Felix A(wesome) Hernandez
I agree, but still.
He sucked big time this time last year.  I took my son to his first game at Safeco last year, with Felix on the mound, and he was completely bombed.  He wasn't pitching much differently than Weaver.  Well, he was missing a few more bats, sure, but the hitters were really making hard contact and blasting his pitches deep.
After the game in Chicago last May
I talked to the team's physiologist and he basically told me that all our fears about Felix approach were true. Hargrove was going against Chaves and telling Felix to establish his fastball first and that as the season went on he would be able to throw his other stuff more often.

He also said that Felix would get lackadaisical at times and would go ADD on the mound when things got too easy.

Actually no
wins actually do correlate okayey to a pitcher's talent level (for example to FIP). There's just no reason to use them because there's FAR better metrics.
Mateo...............
Dear sir,
You are correct.  We are elite pitchers.

Signed,
Former 21 game winner Russ Ortiz and former 18 game winner Kent Bottenfield

hence the use of term "okayey"
Oh, I know
I just love referencing those two.
Kent Bottenfield for Jim Edmonds
Whoops.
Ken Phelps!
Turd Ferguson!
Guillen for Ramontiago!
oh wait....
However, I bet we will not see Baek smile
He seems incapable of it.

Also, uh, Kei Igawa, sweetie, you're still just as funny-looking as you were in Nishinomiya.  The sunglasses and new haircut haven't helped.

This thread needs the
Many Faces of Baek image.
I'm on it.
Anyone notice
he got a haircut before last game?

Baek
What is the over/under on the inning that Baek finally sheds a tear tonight? 4th?
1st.
After the Yanks score 20 runs and A-Rod hits 2 grand slams.
Dammit
Can't get the picture to post. Sorry.

Anyway, that must've been why he confounded the Royals so bad. But now the joke isn't funny anymore, so I'll go away.

We can't all be superstars.
In our own minds we can.
Most of the time
I just shoot for not being a total failure. Screwed that up today ...
That's some lofty goals you set for yourself!
Of course with it being Friday and all, my only goal is to make to the end of the work day, and haul ass to the local watering hole.

And if Josh Hancock is listening somewhere, I have transportation already arranged, so I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE AFTER I'VE BEEN DRINKING.

Tough, but fair
Gil Meche disagrees
For a Good Chuckle
came this quote from Ross Gload after yesterday's KC win...

"I got a couple of hits, got lucky a couple of times," Gload said. "Gil made a commitment to come here. We want to play good for him. He works fast. He gets outs."

Goodness me.
How bad is your standard frame of reference when Gil Meche seems quick and efficient?
Can't resist (with a twist)
I wonder if Gil's wife says the same thing?

Ba-dum-bump!

Gomez?
I kid.
After I posted that I thought:
"Wait a minute, that was cheesy (which is okay), but I don't even know if Gil's married or not.."
I don't think he's married...
or at least he shouldn't have been a couple years ago.  My wife flirted like crazy with Gil one day so he'd give her a ball during BP.  Yes, she was my wife then.
I should think before I joke!
what
Gil Meche has been married for a while, he even has a couple of kids.

That didn't stop me from having a crush on him a few years ago.

At least the basis for the joke was correct,
even if the joke bombed.
I'll have to go back and check.
But I seem to remember one of the old M's cookbooks having a picture of Gil Meche with a woman.  I don't remember if it was his wife, at least at the time, but I definitely remember him having an entry in at least one of the M's cookbooks.
Or, yeah.
You could just ask Deanna.  She'd be the one totally up on the marital status of the Mariners...
I swear I saw Gil
on some pre game thing on Fox a few years ago where he was back home with his family and that included his wife.
well, and there's the Mariners Wives
they're always out there doing some charity event or another.  I don't always catch who is who, but I remember some of them being really nice, some of them being really gorgeous, some of them being like "what the hell am I doing here", etc.
I'm pretty sure
He got divorced, and that was part of him wanting to leave Seattle.

(Of course, we all know he was shoved, but that's what he said.)

oh, maybe you're right.
I do remember hearing about that, but thought it was just separated, not divorced.
M-I-E-N-T-K-I-E-W-I-C-Z
Sing it with me!
Who?
Jody Mientkiewicz?

Oh, you're talking about Monkey Witch.

Heh.

It doesn't seem right
to have Mientkiewicz in an infield without Mark Grudzielanek.
I think it funny
that, $200 million later, Doug Mientkiewicz is their starting 1B tonight.
I think you mean Thompson
And, $100 million later, Richie Sexson is ours. And that he's batting 5th.  I'd rather have Mientkiewicz batting 9th than Sexson batting 5th.
Yeah, I know.
The rest of that "dream infield" would be AJ Pierzynski behind the plate, Kevin Kouzmanoff at third, and Troy Toulowitzki at short, right?
Hmmm.
And Piazza as DH, and Putz as closer...
Nah
It'd be like, outfield of Scott Podsednik, Rob Mackowiak, Ryan Langerhans... Jason Isringhausen would be the closer.  Justin Duchscherer would be in the bullpen, of course.  Rotation would be like, Rick Vanden Hurk, Tom Gorzelanny, Wes Obermueller...
Wow
Your ability to recall bizarre baseball names at every position on command is pretty impressive
Yeah, well
In 1989, my mom took my brother and I up to Cooperstown to see the HoF for the first time.

I could spell Yastrzemski.  They couldn't.

Don't forget she can rattle off the names of all
the players in Japan too!
And write their names in kanji.
There are many other slightly less useful things that could be filling this brain of mine, I'm sure, but alas, I had to be obsessed with baseball.
I have the same problem
Just not to the extent that you do. But half of my brain's storage capacity is wasted with movie quotes and sports stats.
Doyle starting in LF for the A's tonight.
Oh...and he's wearing #11
Fitting, in my mind at least, since I think he'll end up being the lefty version of #11 for the M's.
See Beane now your just being a dick.
Is that really necessary?
(cockpunches Beane)
Uh, no.
You don't wanna cockpunch Beane.  That'll only make him better.

Take Putz, for example...

Damn!
(Cockpunches self)
awesome.
Not for me it wasn't!
Speaking of which...
my wife (jokingly) said she was going to cockpunch me the other day.
Did she pick that up here, or
was it just a random phrase?
She picked it up indirectly from here
She doesn't read the site, but I talk about it enough that she starts to pick stuff up.
I'd probably
Laugh until I crapped my pants if my GF  said she was going to cockpunch me. Just because hearing her say it would be so hilarious!

Then she'd probably actually cockpunch me for laughing at her!

At least he didn't choose 8 like the Nationals did
That number has been worn by such Mariner greats as Rich Amaral, Yorvit Torrealba, and Carl Everett, and was a much more heinous offense.
July 5th
Next meeting against OAK... in McAfee Cavern.
Do you mean
the Al Davis Reconfigurable Hole?
Or that
By any name, it's a giant hole in an even bigger hole.
So... many.... jokes in my head......
must...  resist..  temptation...
Jose Guillen...
... is a vampire?

After his 3 for 4 yesterday, I was checking his stats

He cant hit in the day time this year.

Day games, 32 AB, 094 .147 .281 .428
Night games, 39 AB, 359 .405 .513 .918

His strikeout are 7 and 5 for day and night, respectively, so maybe it just a fluke.

Any good reason why he sucks in the day and is good at night?

"Flu-like symptoms"?
Back Spasms?
Hangovers?
Damn G!
Beat me to it!
"Flu-like symptoms" is funnier
cool
MLBTV is showing John Mcenroe play tennis!
yeah? where is the feed mlbTV
At least it's not that guy that sings God Bless
America. I hate that guy.
ahh...
nothing quite like a game on the YES network!
God damn I love alcohol
Yay beer
If the Mariners don't score at least 4 runs off
this guy, I'm gonna be pissed.
Come on Ichiro,
get a hit.
We start with the Ichiro patented pop up.
Thast fastball is straight
Like Kei Igawa isn't
Weeeee
Ground-rule double.
Beltre!!!
Dave and Blowers
Still pissed about Manny.
That's about as hard as you're going to see
Turbo hit a ball to centerfield.
wow, you arm sucks balls Damon
your not you
the spelling woes contine
[pineiro]!
you mispelled [
Well.
You're the one that spells in funny colours...
you colonials don't know what's good for you
in my day, we paid our taxes and didn't rebel! And then we went to the pub and consumed ale and all was right in the world,
I don't mean to go off topic but
[deleted, off-topic]
How many of us
Have a stroinger throwing arm than Johnny Damon? I've going with everyone.
Even me!
I'm left-handed and throw like a girl too!
I wonder if i could beat him
wrong handed.
I can say with absolute certainty,
that I can throw a limited flight softball farther than Damon can throw a baseball.
I swear that guy is right-handed.
He might as well try throwing righty,
he couldn't be much worse. I'm trying to think of a CF with a worse arm than his, and I'm drawing a blank...
Juan Pierre?
Worse contract ever
I haven't seen enough of him to really know.
Randy Winn?
...eh.  Not quite, but.
He's not playing center anymore though, is he?
I don't think so, no
but he was the first other "throws-like-a-girl centerfielder" that popped into my mind.
Kenny Lofton's
isn't good really.
Fuck you and your epmpty BA, Cano
Heh. NY Announcers said
Robby Cano went deep into the hole.

He said "hole" heh heh; heh heh; heh;

Pujols
poo holes.
heh heh heh
UR BEST HITTER IS NAMED POO HOLE LOLOL
I had to put up with that all through the WS
with Josh from book club, and another friend of ours.  Literally.  Every time the announcer said "Pujols" it was like another episode of Beavis and Butthead had started.
beating e'dead horse
It must be Friday..
Seems like everyone has the giggles.

or

Who got into Jeff Weaver's stash?

Ahhhh Pacman is going to eat me
Wow
Derrek Lee is hitting .422...
Our groundballs get gobbled up
Their's go through.

I see how this game is going to go.

Olerud dives and makes the play....
Oh wait.
Dear Jose Vidro
Please stop trying to hit homeruns to center field. It's just not going to work.

Signed,
Captain Obvious

Don't ask me why, but that made me think of
Captain Caveman.

One of the greatest cartoon characters ever.

Captain CAAAAAAVEMAAAAAAN!
I know sometime tonight,
after a few drinks, I'm going to end up yelling that.
WOO!
Captain CAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!

Betty Rubble was hotter than Taffy Dare...

2nd inning last night redux
Jeter dives in pasta.
What a lsoer
I have Jeter on my fantasy squad
You notice I didn't say I benched him.
I benched Michael Young.
Screw him and that "AL Best" crap he rode in on.  0-for-9 yesterday.
BUT MICHEAL YOUNG IS THE BE|ST| PLATY|ER
EVER
I have him on my other H2H team
I should've benched him for JJ Hardy.  Nope.  Keep saying, "Oh, he'll blow up today."  Never learn.
sigh
JJ Hardy is really cute.  I think my drafting strategy must have gotten slightly screwed up.
Cha Seung Baek looks like he's about to cry
He must know Jeff Weaver is pitching tomorrow.
Class Action Guy says:

Pickoff moves don't work!
I think Class Action Guy might also be a
proctologist.
n/s
not enough grit on that one.
This isn't looking good.....
Double-play time.
I can see where this game is going...
Can I go Baek to the future?
Why don't you make like a tree
and get out of here?
Hello butthead!
Hey McFly, your shoe's untied
You are my density....
Your kids will LOVE this stuff...
It's like kissing my brother....
OOOOOOHHHHH SHHHIIIIIIIT!
So I've got MLB.tv and a Mac, and I recently
switched from watching it in Firefox to watching in Quicktime. This works so much better. Plus, and I probably should have known this about Quicktime, but I can watch the game when it's minimized in the dock!

Technology!

MACS!
I loathe having to use my Windows laptop at home now.  I can't believe how much slower it is than my 4-year-older Mac laptop.  

Now, if I can just find a suitable, free, easy-to-use alternative to MS Access that works on the Mac, I'd be 100% converted at home...

pfff
auto out a-rod is up.
A-Rod vs Baek
Hilarity to ensue! Twill be amusing like an amsuing duck
What the flying fuck
why is the YES Network showing me a bad movie from the early 80's?

This displeases me. >:(

Holy shit that was nice...
Mound Conference
Johjima: "These are good hitters."
Baek: "Oh, right."
Johjima: "Throw your strikeout pitch."
Baek: ::sad face::
Johjima: "...Uh......okay, let's do this."
That's amazing range
Take notes, Jeter-loser
Jeter would of never gotten close to that one.
Jeter would have dove for it
and still come up 5 feet short.
nice play by Yuni
C'mon Cha Sizzle!
Let's get another GB.
'he took something off that pitch'
the suck, you mean?
Y'know, I don't think it's Safeco field
Whenever and wherever the Mariners play the crowd never gets excited about anything.
WELL I AM ECITED
EXCITED
Ugh.
Cha was lonely last night, so he looked up Ho for some company. Looks like he walked away with an STD.
I need to see healthy Felix again soon.
Watching the rest of this staff is too painful.
Oh yeah. This is a crazy patient lineup.
The rest of the Yankees
are making Jeter look bad.
F U Kei Igawa
you don't deserve to have this type of lineup giving you run support.
YEAH
Get a haircut and get a real job!
WAIT
Maybe I mean get a job and get a real haircut.  Nevermind.
That's okay
It just means you inadvertantly quoted George Thourgood.
'Johjima and Baek...
... don't speak very well English' Nice call, asshat.
WTF?
"Johjima, Baek, don't speak very well English."

Neither do you Yankees dude.

If the entire Yankee lineup injured themselves
right now, we might have a shot at this.

Crap.

That groundball looked like it should have been
fielded for some reason.
oh bugger this for a baf of crisps
So.
I've forgotten.  Whose drunkenness made for a hilarious game thread last year???

Heh.  Don't drink and blog.  

Matthew's
that's the key
you can't just be drunk, you have to be completely obliterated in order to pull it off.

BTW, I ended my undergraduate education today, this weekend might see a reappearance of a thread like that.

Finished my last lab report tonight.
Classes ended on Tuesday. Two finals early next week and I'm totally done myself. I wonder what drunken vomit looks like on the internet.
CELEBRATION TIME
There's a lot of c/o 2007 members here.

We should have a party in Seattle in say mid/late June (for the west coast grads).

Speaking of Seattle
I need to work out a way to get up there this summer.
sometime when i'm actually in town plz
yeah, I know, it's my own damn fault for taking trips during the summer.
I'll have to coordinate something with Devin.
He's gotta be in town, too, which I don't think he's planning to be at all. But I can be persuasive.
Well Count me in!
I suppose it wouldn't be too off to celebrate my 10th anniversary of graduating from college...
Holy balls
Any concrete post college plans?  Or do you just mean done for the school year?
No, done with college.
Going back to San Diego to work in a chem lab (hopefully Scripps) until I work up the courage to go to grad school. Or until I start getting enough money from this website to forget my education and sit at home writing like a fatass.
Oh man
Sorry guys
Can we go back to playing bad teams?
That was fun.
of course there grounders find holes
So.
Remember.

Boston came back against Ho-Ram.

Igawa isn't Daisuke...

We're not the redsox
And we're not Boston
Or New York
Well this is gonna make my evening plans
a whole lot easier.
If Mientkiewicz gets a hit
I'm just going to give up.
So.
Hands up, you punk!
Posada
hits 7th in their lineup...he'd easily be our best hitter.
I thought Weaver was pitching tomorrow?
ROFL
I know I shouldn't enjoy Weaver jokes as long as he's still in the rotation, but I do.
D-Backs start in a few hours.
Dodgers
starting soon :D
The way things are going, me and you are gonna
be at each other's throats come September when our two teams are battling for the division title.
Two on one, Goose
Go blue!
Oh dear god the horror make it stop
Ok, obviously drunken graham is a bad
locuk thing fro the m's. I shaklltake my inebriation elsewhere
Jesus
By the end of this road trip, our bullpen won't have any arms left.
No recap tonight.
Apparently YES isn't interested in showing me a baseball game.
They're taking pity on you.
That's probably not a bad thing.
They're doing you a favor.
SHAEK AND BAEK
Damn Mariners
This is the worse blurnsball team in the history of the game!!
wow
that was the luckiest hit ever.
Is Baek TRYING
to break Meche's record for most pitches thrown in one innng?
If Jeff Weaver records one out tomorrow
I'll be shocked.
Infield pop-up
Lands for a hit. Bull. Shit.
Quick.
Someone grab the Delorean and throw this Cha Cha in, and send him back to 2005.  I want the 2006 version, please.
YAY!
Mientkiewicz still sucks!
I love these 5 run innings.
Can we get them all back in the 2nd?
We can still win this
If Manny hits a walk-off HR for us.
I SAID MANNY RAMIREZ
NOT HORACIO!!!

DAMN YOU BILLL!!!!

I'm not smiling.
Enough with this draek.  
Glad I'm not missing much
And the inning is over.
I'm out.
Cha Seung Baek?
More like Cha Seung BLECK. Am I right? Am I right?
So.
Can we call a pitcher up from Tacoma and activate him during the game???

Someone check the Tacoma pitching staff.  I'm quite certain someone's about to get on a plane and fly to NY.  Campillo pitched yesterday.  Jake Woods -- he can he pitch on 3 day's rest.  Wait.  We've already tried the JW followed by JW thing.  How about someone in AA?  

What The Funk?
2 INCH FUNK BLAST!
Richie just hit that ball a country mile.
Impressive.
Let Guillen pitch
I'm being serious.
Possibly ignorant question here
Since I don't really follow MLB that closely.  Is there any thought to instant reply in baseball?  It's worked well in the NFL...
I'm excited to watch Weaver tomorrow
And this is why:

http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/mariners/2007/05/weaver_going_to_freelance_it.html

Read to the part where Weaver talks about his new approach. It could either be great, or it could be a disaster.

Either way, it will be spectacular.

Japanese Funk BLAST!
Ventilation of FEAR
... or something like that.
hold on guys,
I thought Weaver was pitching TOMORROW....
Kenji!....sorry can't get that excited.
Johjima!!!!!!!!
FUNK BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, Johjima
4 more of those and we're back in this thing.
haha, suck failure Igawa
Nice Job Joh
rally time!

BAD YUNI!

Damn, almost had back to back Funk.
Haha Neihaus
That call was as bad as Horacio's control.
Shut your mouth
He is an untouchable god. I don't care if he's senile.
That's what she said.
After all the great set-ups for that line
earlier in the comments, you wait until now to break that one out? :)
I work in mysterious ways.
I can accept that.
snelling single
WTF Neihaus
"I think he got under that a little bit too much although it's carrying Hideki catches the flyball well OUT THERE AND THAT BABY IS OUT THERE...uhhh...caught at the fence."

Worst call ever!

I'm with Nuss.
Leave Dave alone, he's the only good thing this franchise has had going for it for most of it's existence.

He gets a free pass for as long as he wants to talk into a microphone.

Not from me he won't
That's up to you, but
Dave could read me the back of a cereal box, and it would make me smile.
EXACTLY
He's seriously on the list of five people on this planet I do just about anything to have dinner with. The stories ... man, the guy's voice just reminds me of every summer of life, since I was born in '77.
1974, so same here
YOU'RE SO ANCIENT
sigh, I'm turning 30 on Monday.  this sucks.
DOYLE!!!
How is that funny?
>:(
you started pitching
an early to soon Baek
Baek
Huh?  Where was this in the first inning?
BELTRE
FUNKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BELTRE FUNK!!!
BELTRE FUNK BLAST
That was jacked. Okay, MAYBE we have a chance.
Igawa is one bad and ugly motherfucker.
Anybody have a good picture of Igawa?
good?
it doesnt exist
That's sort of like asking
If anyone has video of a dominating Ho.

Still, the photoshop opportunities are huge.

Yeah, I walked into that one.
Let me try again. Does anybody have picture that clearly shows his ugliness?
He has plenty on his website
http://www.k-igawa.com/index.html
He is a bit of a gomer, isn't he?
Thanks for the link.
Buzzkill
Vidro
BELTRE!!!!!!!!
Yankee pitching sucks.
If you pop-up weakly after your team just scored
You might just be a Seattle Mariner.
why are you suprised Igawa??
you suck, Beltre doesn't...there was nothing surprising about that AB.
The pitching tonight has been FAB-ulous
FOB-ulous is more like it
/politically incorrect
Oh yeah
Baek still sucks.
Is Baek crying?
There's no crying in baseball.
CANO AND CABRERA
THE BEST YOUNG HITTERS IN THE GAME!!!
Richie
At least you hit it out of the batter's box this time.
Dave Simms
must be a Sox fan, he sounded pretty excited about the manny homer.
"No one makes that play
better than Jeter"

uh uh, sure.

Fer cryin' in a bucket...
Please. Get. Richie. Out. Of. The. 5. Spot.  

I wouldn't mind benching him a day or two, really, either.

Fuckin' Yankee bias.
No way he went.
WHAT THE BALLS
JOHJIMA DID NOT GO. DAMN ESPN UMPIRES.
he didn't go
Yuni-doubler!
Betancourt!
WOOO!!! Safe!

At least the second base umpire is on our side.

YUNI!!!!!!!
LOPEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOPEZ TIE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
JOSE!!! TIE GAME!!!
Who saw this coming?
I did
Just two innings late. :)
DOUBLEPLAY TWINS
TIE BALL GAME I LOVE KEI IGAWA
FUNNNNNNNNNKKKKK BLAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTT!!
at least they arnt just plain giving up
and then a that
They really arnt giving up
I will say this about the 2007 M's,
they seem to fight until the end of every game, even if they are way behind.

Last year it seemed like they packed it in once they were behind.

JOSE LOPEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT
Igawa=an even uglier Weaver?
Jose with a HR trot.
Looks like he likes his power again.
CRUSHED!!
CHARGE THE MOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time for Ichiro to unleash his anger.
fuck that
you classes piece of shit Igawa
wheeeeeeeee
I had an impromptu meeting for 45 minutes and I come back to this :)
You guys see Guillen in there screaming!
I love that guy
hes gonna cut someone
Igawa
Jealous of Ichiro not being ugly.
lol
Guillen was going nuts in the dugout.

Even the Yankee announces know that was classes

Igawa
Don't blame us cause you suck.
Thank goodness.
I benched Jim Edmonds, so I could play Kelly Johnson in the OF today, and move Jose Lopez into the MI slot...
actually
I think his command just REALLY REALLY blows
well
I did tell you guys he was another Kazuhisa Ishii waiting to happen, way back in the day, but nobody believed me.
C'mon Beltre
Pour salt in the wound.
balk!
just sayin!
Score this run, Adrian
Turbo is batting behind you.
Let's start it again.
2 outs, So what!

Damn.  I'm a little late.

Oh yea, thanks for the reminder.
F U Cleveland.
could we just get a mulligan for the 1st
Holy shit we tied it??? Tv back on!
Igawa sucks!
How many pitches has he thrown?
Our bullpen is going to be *so* tired
when the weekend's over.
I'm soberish again
And the M's aren't losing. If this is correlated I am a very unhappy guy.
Pshaaa
Stay sober during the off days.

Wait.  With all those weather-outs, there's fewer off days now...

Wait, what?
You can drink most of the time, just not during the game!
O' Flaherty
is our lefty specialist? Buh?
Well...
I think we all know what's going to happen here...
Where was THAT pitch?
It wasn't high.  That was at his armpits.  

Outside?  

aww fuck
Ok maybe I should keep the tv off.
Well
that sucks.
I. Hate. This. Lineup.
God this is brutal.
well..
Tampa bay took the lead
did the yankee announcers
really just ask who has a better kicker??

Josh Brown >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jay Feely

hahaha
I just looked again at the roster of the fantasy team I'm up against this week and he has Kei Igawa on it.

hahahahahaha.

I had wondered why I was suddenly winning in ERA.

Someone mentioned Ho Dominating
I managed to find that Ho has, in fact, dominated on one occasion at least....

Nice fillings!
I regret typing that.
I turn on my laptop, check the game thread
and see this, then nearly choke to death on coffee.

Nicely done.

Happy to please...man that sounds bad.
Doyle walks
Thus proving
that he was never meant to be a Mariner.
He does the walk of life
Remember the video to that song
with all the sports bloopers?

I thought that shit was so cool when I was a kid.

sweet!
i do karaoke to that song!  :-)
Jose Vidro is slow.
and Michael Young is 2-for-2
And here I was thinking I was being all clever by benching that assclown.
Jeter's range is awful.
That's why Jeter is a bad fielder.
Yuni would've gotten to that ball in stride.
haha
yuni makes that play.
Derek Jeter is teh shit at SS.
That's why he's won the last two gold gloves.

End. Of. Debate.

OMG
Blowers advocated taking pitches, in order to chase the starter thus (regardless of tonight's outcome) helping us for the rest of the series.

He should expect to be fired soon.

Focus our Kei
Blowers doesn't realize that Igawa represents our best chance to win tonight.
ATTENTION HUMAN BEINGS:
Which site has the most current stats, like OBP and SLG? For some reason I just feel like finding out Beltre's current OPS without doing the math.
gameday on mlb.com
has updated OPS after each at-bat.
and I think his OPS
is .777 or close to that.
Sorry to disapoint,
but most of the posters here are just highly advanced bots.
INTERNAL COMMENT A.I. ERROR
The Gomez server encountered a problem and cannot complete his comment.  Please hit the back button on your browser and try again.
Did i see that run support stat correctly?
i didnt realize..
Damon's arm
vs. Vidro's speed.

Intriguing matchup.

Whaddya mean?
Like could Damon throw a twinkie far enough that Vidro couldn't catch it before it came down?  Would be close.  My bet is that Vidro would just eat Damon's arm.
lol
this really made me laugh.  :-)
wow that was a hanger
Bullpen wooooooo
Please Richie
REDEEM YOURSELF AND YOUR .146 AVERAGE
Doyle on 3rd now
Woah...Mr. Bean
You are on the Vidro diet.
Guillen is gonna come through!
You know you've got control issues
if you can walk Sexson on 4 pitches.
Bases Jacked
I have this strange feeling of whaddya call it?... confidence... no that's too strong of a word...
less shame?
Bah Gawd
Look at this patient Mariner lineup.
Yeah
They've been completely feminized.

On the + side, they are scoring runs.

I will slap the shit out of him if he swings
Bwahahaha
Hopefully redemption for HoRam walking in a run last night
My god
is this what it's like for other guys to face Mariner's pitching?
Not quite
Bean doesn't have Baek's game face.
Walked in a run!
Bwhahahaha!
YES!!!
come on Kenji!
Colter Bean
Needs laser sight.
Doyle scores!
tie game 2-2
Um
did that fat fuck just walk in a run?
KENJI!!!!!!!!!
Leads the team in average
and bats 8th.  Hargrove strikes again!
BWHAHAHAHA
His control sucks.
WE GOT US A TIE BALLGAME!!!
If the Yankees lineup faced the Yankees pitching
How many runs would score?
Stack overflow
Ump gives him a break.
My ass that's a strike!
BASES CLEARING HIT
YUNIBOMBED!!!
Hahahahahah
Defense wins championships.
YUNI!!!!!!!!!!
man he sucks
YUNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuniblooper!!!!
DAMON SUCKS!!!
FUNK 2-RUN DOUBLE
BETANCOURT!!!!!
YuNi!!!!
Damon you suck.
Man
Is that what Jeff Weaver looked like when he was 12?
Damon
Not exactly Willie Mays out there.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME
Colter Beane = 3 inch taller Cupcakes?
With the control of a Ho
Beancakes
Jelly Belly?
6 Mariners have come to the plate
and still no outs?  Does not compute.
omg
I tune in and what a crazy game this is.

YUNI!!!!! WOOHOOOO

A-Rod calming a pitcher down?
What's the world coming to?
BWHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAAHHA
Poor Bean.
It's the top of the 5th
Friggin. Insane.
Pulling a pitcher in the middle of an AB
is about as bad as it gets...
so like,
you know, like, Kenji's all like "what", and Bean's all like "okay," and then someone's like, "you're fat, dude," and Bean's like "whatever", and then he throws a few more balls, you know, and like, then people are all on base and stuff, and like, then some guys score some runs, and they're all like, "whoa", and then someone's like "haha, that dude's name is K and he can't strike anyone out," and we're like "that's deep, man."
Did Jeff Weaver
just hijack Deanna's account?
see, this is what happens
when I can't see the game on TV and Gameday is hopelessly lagged.

It's like trying to listen to the game through a paper-cup telephone, and the paper cup is full of beer.

Okay, I laughed
Mariners scoring
1st inning: 0
2nd inning: 1
3rd inning: 2
4th inning: 3
5th inning: 4 (and counting)
if this trend continues...
M's win! Final score: 36-8
hahahahahahahahahaha
getting pulled with 2 balls.  Amazing suck.
The ol' mid-at bat switcheroo
The equivalent of doing a pitcher's wife in terms of pride.
Mariner's scoring so far
Inning 1: 0
Inning 2: 1
Inning 3: 2
Inning 4: 3
Inning 5: 4

My highly advanced AI predicts continued scoring at (inning #) - 1 runs per inning resulting in 36 runs.

ThundaPC and I
apparently share the same neural net.
I find it funny
that Colter Bean hadn't allowed a run in 2007 before today.
Seriously
I feel bad for that guy.  If I were him I'd sleep in the locker room tonight...Yankees fans liable to kick his ass...
I felt bad for the guy
When I first heard his name.
just got back from work
but have been listening on the radio.  What a weird game--whose pitchers suck worse?

I'm glad I'm not Coulter Bean right now.

My OFFICIAL favorite Mariner:
Jose Guillen!

Yeah, I said it.

Funny thing
Jeff said fuck this and left when it was 5-0 after 1.
To be fair
who the hell thinks the M's are gonna score 6 runs in an inning.
Nice job of hitting, Jose!
hahahahaha
damon's arm...
'Fuck you bitch, I'm Luis Vizcaino'
Johnny Damon sucks.
Asking for Permission....
to be excited about J-Lo again....
Permission granted
I dunno.
Mark Antony might have a problem with that.

But, yeah, she's still pretty cute...

WOOOOOOOOO!
GO M'S!!!!  Hillarious game
Holy crap.
This is surreal.
You can't stop these Mariners!!!
You gotta [glug] these guys!
Just ask Graham.
No outs, so what?
Wow
I just got back from happy hr.  So this is why the Yankees suck this year!  What the hell is going on?  We almost beat Boston yesterday, we have a winning record, and we are beating NY.  Does this mean we might be decent?
Awesome
Dave just said with the way things are going this will end up being a 1 run ballgame.
Nice catch!
....that's about it really.
what a play
by mienkiewiecszstcsdu...oh wait. still two on with no out.
I think I've been doing this too much today

Is this actually happening?

omg. Ichiro w/ a hit
and the M's still have 0 outs.
Well, that was a good play by Minkabbagobafdsf
I'm surprised he even got a glove on that.
Minty's always been all glove no bat
hasn't he?
Yah
But that range was still crazy good. Even by Minkyzyuzyzyzyzyzyzyzyzyzyzyzlalalalallalalalalalkenjihasbackspasms.
You mean Mienkenkizzlez
come on adrian
lets go baby
I think a 22-8 lead would be mildly safe.
batted around with 0 outs
I would like to point out
that Richie Sexson is the only Mariner not to get a hit today.

Sheesh.

Sexson walked
Which is almost as rare as a single for him.
What does batted around mean?
I thought the batter that started the inning had to come to the plate for a team to have "batted around".  Is that not true?
20 runs
top of the 5th...and Weaver's not even pitching
8 batters with no outs to start an inning
I would have put the probability of this somewhere below Jeff Weaver passing a drug test.
well,
it was about time they got someone out
Yankee Fans do NOT worry!
Mateo will be put in and give it all back and more.
Thankfully Mateo pitched 2 innings last night
so we probably won't see him.  Morrow, Sherril, White available, Putz for the save probably tonight.
Hmm....
Who do we get to finish the game?
I want at least a few more runs here
Damon is a noodle-armed-chior-boy
our bullpen isn't that bad...
I'm feeling really good about this game. They're taking pitches, guys. They're WALKING.
Possessed?
It's like our entire team was possessed by Edgar overnight.  Maybe we should blow late games against the Sawks more often?
oh.
an out???  I was forgetting such things existed.
You name is perfect given the circumstances
damn...
lopez woulda scored easily.
turbo with two hits...this inning
Turbo!!
Raul DP time
shit Jose, run on that
we need wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more runs. Like at least 4 more.
woooo!
go fatty!
over under on the number of posts
in the game thread today?  1200?  1400?  

longest, slowest, and maybe one of the more enjoyable games ever!  :-)

Okay, this is getting ridiculous
not that I'm complaining.
This is a good inning.
zero faith in Raul here
that's sad.
Better be careful
or they'll bring in Farnsworth and he'll plunk somebody.
Lets go, no DP

Hit the ball in the air Rauuuuuuuul.

so
do the Yankees start taking volunteers from the crowd to pitch?
Just this once
we could offer them Weaver.  Our #3 pitcher!
Whohoo, Raul!
14-8.
Yankee mound meeting
Posada: "We need a groundball to get out of this thing."
Vizcaino: "OMG, we're still pitching?!?!"
Seattle 14, New York 8
And Shaun Alexander is over 100 yards rushing!
wow
this is getting almost ridiculous.

almost

RAUL!
oh, such lucky placement
Rauuuuuuuuuuuul
RAUL!!!!!!!!1
We're in the top 5th
and this game's already 2 hours 15 minutes long.
Richie still looks clueless.
Lets not get too overconfident
we have 5 more innings to pitch and it's only a 6 run lead.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME STILL
well..
leave it to Richie to strike out here
who would have guessed that
after a yankee mariner game, Joe Torre would be the one getting fired
This is fun
M's Offense + Yankee Pitching = M's pitching + Yankee Offense
TOUCHDOWN MARINERS!!!!!!
Too bad we don't have a Matthew on the team...
Dammit Richie....
dammit
richie is lost out there right now.
And Big Seckkkkkkkkkksy....
Still blows.
remember how Felix was supposed to pitch
today? Boy that would have been a waste.

Oh god, Weaver tomorrow.

At least it'll be fun to crack wise at
On the other hand
Yankees pitching tomorrow.
Richie looks done right now.
screw you richie
DAMN IT
I wanted a few more...
Guillen says
"This inning is taking too long"
best....inning.....ever
what an inning
i don't even know what to say right now.
Run out the clock...
If we can hold them to just one run per inning the rest of the way, we win by one!
Richie
Contributing in his own little way.
2 outs in a row?
zuh? You guys suck.
YOU F'ING SUCK RICHIE!!!!!
Seriously.  

Get that guy outta the 5th spot.  Get him out of the lineup!  

He needs to keep playing to work off the slump
... in Tacoma.  CALL UP WLAD.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
THE INNING's OVER >:(
ok, time for solid middle relief
please?
30 minute half-inning?
Really?  Wow.
with the Yankees offense
I would not have minded 17-8.
I wont feel safe until we hit 20.
Even Henry Kissinger
knows Sexson's gonna strike out.
Ms hitters: 100.7% WPA today.
So guys
with a 14-8 lead, should the defense play zone or should we go with single coverage in the secondary and blitzing some linebackers?
I feel like we can move into the 3-4
but you gotta put Raffy and Lowe in as the MILBs.
Well
it's only a touchdown and there is a lot of time left. I saw we keep attacking.
Stay away fromn the prevent.
As long as its not
prevent defense.
Run out the clock.
Keep Josh Brown warm on the sideline.
Josh Brown
whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fake punt for the win.
Stay agressive
Play 8 in the box to shut down the run, bump and run on the corners.  If you get beat deep, leave Vidro in the end zone to devour the ball.
I hate Richie Sexson
Tatupu and Peterson
need to put the pressure on
Angie Mentink
Has there been a single 2 week period in the last 3 years where she hasn't been knocked up?

Man, she must love to screw.

Or is she just fat now?

A coworker's BF was on the UW baseball team
He told me that Angie was basically a kept woman for the Huskies baseball team during her college days.  She is a lush.
so could she have Seabiscuit's Lovechild?
Can we draft it this June?
Man....
She must have been one of the "Bench Warmers."

There are literally thousands of unbelievable looking girls at UW, I can't imagine that she was any college athlete's #1 choice.

Well
She may have been #1 in the valuable 'willing to put out at the drop of a hat' category.
really?
fuck I went to the wrong school.
Kenji has back spasms.
At least now we know why.
Either that
or she's done the deed twice and got lucky.

I've seen her in person, and she ain't fat.

Apparently
She is married, from http://msn.foxsports.com/id/1531075 :
"She currently resides with her husband Jarrett in Kirkland, Washington."
Yankees suck.
They made an out.
Buffalo
scores with 8 seconds left in the game to tie it!

SABRES RULE!

Nooooooo
Go Rangers!
Captain Clutch 0-4.
Go Captain Clutch!
Derek Jeter is a Queen!
Jeter grounds out.
But he did it in a clutch way.
5th inning
Top: 30 minutes
Bottom: 6 minutes
I've seen enough of O'Flaherty tonight
Just saw the score.
Holy fucking shit.
Johjima DOUBLE
MORE RUNS, I WANT MORE RUNS!!!
This must be said....
Kenji is a fucking pimp.
KENJI!!!
get him home guys!
BACK SPASMS FTW!!!
wow...
they're going with Myers...and not as a LOOGY.  They actually need innings out of him.  Ouch
This just in
Kenji can hit with or without back spasms.
Jeter is slow.
Jeter
Hahahaha
Kenji triple short of a cycle
hit it to Damon and he might have a chance.
Kenji a triple away from the cycle
Kenji hitting a triple, LOL
So after turning the tv off innings ago my roomate
comes in says the M's have scored a touchdown and got the 2 pt conversion. My reaction is what?Then I turn on the tv.

Holy shit.

can we bring in putz
for a 3 inning save?

because that's the only way i feel safe with a 6 run lead in the 6th.

you trust JJ?
I dont anymore.

I don't trust anyone in the pen.

Not one Mariner has hit for The Cycle
Pussies.
ironically,
betancourt would have thrown out Jeter on that play.
I take it back
I wish Weaver WAS pitching today.
Go Captain clutch!
Well, that was no good...
Lopez you douche
Derek Jeter has back spasms.
Oh, no wait, he was just fielding a groundball.
s'ok
A-Rod will massage them out
dammit Jose
BTW, Snelling batting 9th for the A's
today: so far, 1-2 with a walk
and both outs
were long drives to deep center
Sims didn't even mention
that Myers was with STL last year but didn't appear in a game.
Jose feels bad for the Yankees
Didn't want to rub it in.
Thanks for the DP Jose
Ichiro walk!
come on Beltre!!
well
that was disappointing
M's run differential slowing marching back to even
119-123
Ah nuts
This is still awesome.
Leadoff double, no runs scored
Normality restored.
need more runs
or a competent relief pitcher.
anyone else still not feel safe?
this still has the foreboding of yesterday, redux, but worse.
um
(raises hand sheepishly)
No, it's not safe yet.
I won't be surprised if the M's score a few more runs off this Yankees pitching, though.
all that these last two games
do is make me think about this:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE200108050.shtml

George!
Lefty warming up
while lefty on the mound? huh?

anyways, In George I Trust (a little)

funny what one 17-hit game
will do to the lineups BA/OPS numbers. They look semi-competent now, ('cept for Sexson).
okay
we need to take out O'Flaherty RIGHT NOW
you were saying?
I'll gladly eat the above words
montage has to show WFB of course
Thanks Arod, I knew you'd come through.
HAHAHA
Sherrill playing a little wide receiver!!

OH AND DP!!!!!!

With Morrow and Putz on standby
I like our chances.
Well
if he can't do it with the bat, might as well do something with the glove.
Man.
I thought for a minute that Matsui was going to run through first, right on top of a sliding Richie.  I'm clearly not a Sexson fan, but even I wouldn't wish that on anyone...
Big
"6' 8" Richie Sexson using that legnth to get her out."

That's too easy, Sims.

That's what she said.
he would never say that
too obvious
I mean "she"
BIG RICHIE
nice job richie
1.5 innings with no runs scored
Did the batters just get tired?
WE and WPA
http://www.fangraphs.com/livewins.aspx?gameid=270504110

WE 98% M's.

Pitcher WPA -52%
Batters WPA -100%

So M's pitcher lose 1 game and batters win 2 LOL.

Reading Pinstripe Alley, I find it funny that they
are roasting us for the Beltre contract, saying we overpaid.

Pot, meet kettle.

Hmm.
I'd trade our entire infield for their 'overpaid' third baseman.  
I was referring to the Yankees overpaying players
in general.
I wouldn't
considering he'll be a FA after this year.
Please. Richie. Hit.
Richie!
Finally.
RICHIE!!!
holy crap, he did something
Sims
"Richie Sexson, the only Mariner without a base-hit"

Richie hits a Double.

Fixed.

Singles are for vaginas!
BOUT DAMN TIME YOU TOAD!
RICHIE!!!!!!!!!!
Wooo, everyone with a hit
Haha
Yankees suck.
CHARGE THE MOUND!!!
No charging the mound?
Guillen is going soft.
prepare to die Myers,lol
KENNNJJIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
Triple time?
Now would be a good time
for a mariner to hit for the cycle.
5-2 A's
Damn it.
Snelling off to a good start
That wasn't a triple.
But whatever, Yankees still suck.
he would of beaten that out
if he didn't have those back spasms.
I HATE GOD BLESS AMERICA!
MUTE!
Speaking of Kenji. A Kenji card is forthcoming.
mmmmmmm
this game is delicious
It's like football
without the pads or all that bending over.
Sabres!
WIN!!!

Back to baseball.

Richie Sexson
Due to Sexson's slow, lumbering swing and gargantuan contract (2007 salary: $14,000,000 & 2008 salary: $14,000,000), Bill Bavasi should just save face by offering him and the utterly worthless Julio Mateo -- who'd easily be replaced by ground ball machine Sean Green -- to the New York Yankees for Josh Phelps (.269/.367/.423)--especially since Phelps would be a cost-effective (2007 salary: $600,000) platoon partner for Ben Broussard at first base.

Besides, the George Steinbreneer is probably the only guy who'd pay the remainder of Sexson's salary; plus, Brian Cashman -- and, for that matter, Joe Torre -- should be desperate enough to deem Mateo an upgrade in the team's bullpen.

It's nothing more than a pipe dream, though.

The Yankees usually go after good players
I'm trying to understand a universe
where Steinbrenner or Cashman would be willing to pay $14 million for Richie Sexson's services.  Once Giambi is healthy, there is literally no need for him.
Oh, he is healthy
in other words, there is no need for him.
Mike Gonzalez of the braves
looks a lot like Joel.
Michael Kay
just said "Yankees need a big blow"

umm...yeah

Here we go...
Fuck the Yankees
Uhh...
Sherill?
Yikes, tv back off.
Yeah, no more of that, Sherrill
FUCK FUCK FUCK
If they blow this, this w. the Rangers loss in OT will cripple me.
what scores even more
is we were 2 inches away from an inning ending DP
sucks not scores
oh shit.
and it's Captain Clutch up to the plate.
Captain no-hit!
Did someone call opposite day?
If so, maybe Weaver should close.
Yankees still got 2 innings to work with.
SCORE MORE RUNS MARINERS!!
WE only 96%
10 more runs to get it to 99%?
Feels like it's 51%
I know
bad feelings still lingering
Put in Willie Bloomquist
Immediate increase of +3%.
I'll give you increase of 3%
but for which team?
Both!
Everybody wins when Willie comes into the game!
Willie has back(side) spasms.
no Ms pitcher with a positive WPA
Myers roxxors?
Myers with a +0.006 WPA.  His mother must be proud!
really need a clean 8th
then I can relax.
ok..just 6 more outs.
Way to Go Mike Myers
though. Really saved the Yankee bullpen there. Seriously...It's been years since he last pitched 3 IP.
I just checked in
That was not cool, George.

BTW, working on filling in the blanks on the Minor League Wrap-Up for yesterday, and I'm looking to add that in tonight.  I'm also looking at a couple research projects on these kids in the minors to try and figure some things out, so stay tuned.

Morrow time!
Keep it comin Morrow - I know I know.. but he is so fun to watch when he is throwing like he has been...
remember when Mark Lowe
arrived last year at Yankee Stadium?

3 pitch K of A-Rod, etc. Great memory.

I hate to give Hargrove credit
but I like using Morrow here for the 8th and 9th.
no real choice
Mateo and Reitsma got used up yesterday, so your choices are Morrow, White or Putz.
He hit 99 on the gun
Damn.
Your not gonna get away with that one pitch crap
here Brandon.
Yay for Ichiro at CF
Mike Myers has NEVER pitched 3 innings before
Ichiro > Anything hit in the air
Ichiro could have prevented the Hindenburg
disaster if he were alive then.
god I love Ichiro
5 outs to go
Nice try, A-Rod
whooooo
much more relieved
feeeeew
that one scared me off the bat.
1-2-3 inning
Brandon Morrow, yea.
3 outs to go.
Your lucky those first two stayed in the yard Brandon.
yay morrow!
BIG INNING!!
Morrow and Putz for the 9th. I feel better. Still, score like 9 more runs plz.
good job kid.
runs...
feeling okay, but still want more runs
That was the heart of the Yankees order
and the bitches ain't shit to Brandon Morrow.
5 more feet and two of those are bombs
Better to be lucky than good.
The one Abreu hit wasn't that close to being out.
Arod's sure was, though.
Morrow this close to getting smoked there...
Needs a second pitch maybe?
The WE chart is going to be very interesting
go check it out.  I'm not even sure quite what to say about it but it's interesting.
WE chart
Looks like Weaver's blood alcohol level on a typical pre game night bender.

Assuming that it has Yankees WE on the Y axis instead of Mariner WE of course.

wow
I cannot believe that Myers is still in.
The longest he's ever pitched in his career
before today - 2.1
Whoooo, Raul's 4th hit.
don't call him Turbo for nothin'
Yuni takes two steps to his left and makes the...
Oh wait.
Ibanez = hit machine
I'll be interested where the offense sits after
this game.
ok...just 3 more outs!
Morrow throws offspeed?
Shocked!
n/s
I like how Grover didnt go to White in the 4th..he knew he needed him for tomorrow.
Fans chanting Yankees
How cute.
Grover is letting Morrow finish?
It'd be his 1st save if he does.
Not a save situation
Up by 4, he'd have to go 3 innings to earn the save.
Isn't it one run for every out you have to get?
This is what I'm going off of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_(baseball)

So I don't think it would have been a save for Morrow...but it is for Putz, because the tying run was on deck.

1st of many I imagine........
I hate walks
Please don't get to the top of the order
kthxby
WE at 99%
And yet I'm still on the edge of my seat.

Actually, I'm really flopped on the couch.  It's more of a metaphor.

Morrow down to 91
I watched Mark Lowe and you sir, are no Mark Lowe.
I hate fouls.
Take him out.
Putz coming in?
Mike Reilly and a monsoon seen rushing towards New York.
Putz time
no Mike Reilly in sight.
it couldnt be easy, could it??
Okay nm
Let JJ finish these bitches off.
You better be throwing some splitters JJ.
Where was that pitch???
strikes, please
Morrow and Putz
I'm sick of fastballs.
You won't be seeing any tomorrow, don't worry.
Giambi=uh-oh
Also, that was a strike.
The incredible shrinking strikezone
Seriously, those are borderline balls.
I hate Yankee stadium
Now it's a save situation.
Oh god.
Why was Lopez not playing more towards RF?
It's the 9th inning, fuck the runner.
SPLITTER, fucking please.
Fuck.
Get these guys out now, Putz.
I won't watch the rest of this series if the
Mariners don't win in this inning.
fuck fuck fuck
need blood pressure meds
Looks like little Johnny pulled his groin.
Captain Intangibles.
Get this fucker out!
2 DOWN!!
Jeter
STRIKE THIS FUCKER OUT, JJ.
YES!
Fuck you Jeter
CAPTAIN CLUTCH!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHA
GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!
Captain Clutch fails.
HA! FUCK YOU JETER!
Way to end Jeter's hitting streak.
This situation
was not clutch enough for Mr. Clutch.
guys, we won
that's awesome. gg mariners.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
SIT DOWN JETER!! YOU'VE BEEN PUTZ'D
Bwahahahahahahaha
Oh I swear to scrappy
Jeter better not do the unthinkable here.
Scrappy was busy
doing his business on the Yankee fans tonight.
Wow, that posted real late
Must....remember....to exhale....
Whew. Great game.
well
morrow made it interesting. great win today
THANK YOU, JJ
MARINERS WIN!!  HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN?
oh and we just beat the Yanks....
..so I have say THE MARINERS WIN...THEEEE MARINERS WIN!1
oh and Jeter hit streak is over!
How
in the world did Jeter not get a hit in this game?
We're gonna need 20 runs tommorow.
Plan A
Send WFB to Jeter's house for a sleepover with ARod.  Tomorrow both are out with back spasms.
That's what she said.
Wait...
Mariners come back
from a 5-run defecit the day after blowing a 5-run deficit.

Cool.

No Beltre or Vidro tommorow says Hargrove
Ballgame and Brouusard in their place.
Watch Hargrove botch this
and put Broussard at 3rd and Willie at DH
Also
why Vidro and Beltre?

Let's give SEXSON a day off. Hey!

Beltre had a small limp
So they're going to give him rest.

Vidro because he ate Hargrove's last danish.

At least we'll win one game in this series
Mofo
It's good to come back home at 3.45am to a Mariners win over the Empire.  You guys best win when I am in Seattle next week against those toilets!
How bout
Mr. Intangable comeing through for the Yankes in the clutch?
He...
ALWAYS comes through in the clutch.
04.10 here
Too excited after the Yankees win to go to sleep, waiting for the mlb.tv condensed game.  Urghh,
