Two of these pitchers are good. One of them is overachieving. Sorry, Jeremy, but you're about to run into a regal freight train. (9pm update: a regal freight train that's feeling generous)
By the way, the Cubs are annoying. Your season didn't turn around because of Lou or shedding Michael Barrett, nor will it get much better with the acquisition of Jason Kendall. All three are stupid conclusions, and all three have been mentioned to me by several Chicago fans with whom I interact. Remember what happened when we pulled for Boston in 2004? Let's not make the same mistake twice. There are a lot of teams that deserve to have their title droughts brought to an end, but the Cubs aren't one of them, not this year. Keep the championship out of Chicago.
...uh Happy Felix Day!
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

A sweep is in order
If a crappy lefty like Ho-Ram can keep the Orioles to 2 runs a lefty like Washburn should be able to shut them out. I don't care how good Bedard is, we're good for 2 runs off him.TheMarinator - July 17, 2007
So what's
the deal with the Orioles? They're horrible and worse than us! HAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Coach Owens - July 17, 2007
If you can't tell the difference
between Cubs fans and Red Sox fans, you are not paying attention.G_ - July 17, 2007
Red Sox fans now
have little in common with Red Sox fans before 2004. I don't want to see that happen again.Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
The sad part is that I'm a Cubs sympathizer
and you are so right.The best part of the Cubs, if the assumptions are correct, is that they're National League, so they won't be frequenting M's games much.
tworsandtwols - July 17, 2007
The only time I ever rooted for the Cubs
...was during the 2003 LCS.- The Marlins aren't a real team, and (expletive) David Sampson doesn't deserve to win championships.
- I don't like seeing old people cry.
As long as the Cubs flame out during the regular season, no one gets their hopes up, and in turn have no reason to cry.JI - July 17, 2007
Yeah, but . . .
Sampson was even less loathsome than Loria.Paytheline - July 17, 2007
It won't last
Oh, there will be bandwagon fans, but they will disappear about as quickly as the White Sox bandwagon fans. The problem with the Red Sox bandwagon fans is that they assumed the same entitlement attitude as pre-2004 Sox fans. They then remained visible thanks to the ESPN-fueled Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. The Cubs lack both (the Cardinals rivalry does not play outside of those two states).G_ - July 17, 2007
I don't think they'd be a flash in the pan.
A Cubs post-title bandwagon, to me, would have way more staying power than the White Sox version.Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
There would be more of them
but as soon as the Cubs inevitable return to .500 occurred, they would disappear. And there is no ongoing rivalry angle to keep sitrring the pot.G_ - July 17, 2007
I hope you're right.
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
Umm... quick point...
BoSox fans didn't have a sense of entitlement before 2004. Just an acute sense of doom-in-the-making, sensing late-inning/season/series collapses way ahead of outside observers.Cubs fans root for perennial losers. Sox fans root(ed?) for perennial chokers. There's a difference.
Brian Sullivan - July 17, 2007
Not mutually exclusive
A sense of entitlement and a sense of doom are not mutually exclusive. Before the 2004 Series, when you sat next to a Red Sox fan, you would hear for the first eight innings about how the Red Sox and their fans are better than the other teams (the Yankees in particular), how Red Sox players (Manny/Pedro/et al.) deserve to win the MVP/Cy Young every year, and how the Red Sox deserve to win the Series more than anybody else. But then in the ninth inning, you would only hear about how much the current Red Sox reliever sucks (Urbina/Timlin/Kim/et al.) or how the Red Sox might lose the game.G_ - July 18, 2007
I disagree...
I think Guthrie is legit. If he's overachieving it's only by a little bit.SethGrandpa - July 17, 2007
But good pitcher = Mariner ownage!
tworsandtwols - July 17, 2007
I just mean ERA overachieving.
It should be about 70-100 points worse than it is.Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
I'd love to see the Cubbies in the World Series,
And for them to get their asses handed to them by the M's.sammy - July 17, 2007
In that case
You should be playing in the BMO league.PetRock - July 17, 2007
*Does Nelson Point*
HA HA!Robert - July 17, 2007
I know a lot of Cub fans in Chicago
and the worst part about them is that ever since the Red Sox in '04, they've been convinced that their time has almost arrived. Every winter they go on about how they're the "yankees of the NL", and how their latest acquisition (Soriano, Piniella, Kendall, etc) is going to push them over the top.They're barely over .500. That wouldn't be shit in the American League.

How is it false advertising?
Coach Owens - July 17, 2007
Because you are Coach Owens
Like my real name is not David J Corcoran. However, everyone on these internets assumes that is my real name, so if I were to begin using my real name, people would think I am someone else and I am therefore lying.You are Coach Owens. It's too late.

we're not chasing three teams, we're chasing 1 of 3 teams. Disregarding the twins, all we have to do is do better than any of the three teams and we're in.

Oh so the not-so-nice Mormons
I'd like to know more about those people!TheMarinator - July 17, 2007
It's interesting because
One of the tenets of Mormonism is that anyone can receive revelations from God a la Joseph Smith. The problem is when a bunch of crazies decide they have received revelations contradicting what the LDS church is telling them.sammy - July 17, 2007
Yeah.
For one example of their fucked-uppiness:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
Not historically they're not
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
True
but the average member doesn't know much about the Church's history. They Church has amazing powers of PR and revisionism.As someone who is heading down the apostate path I'll say this:
The theoretical principles of the LDS church are some of the best of any Christianity based religion. The problem is they aren't really practiced right and some people get way too carried away.
bluemax - July 17, 2007
That seems to be the trouble
with a lot of groups. Life, like baseball, isn't played on paper. :(Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007

Please stop this. It is offensive. I am Mormon, and a good person. Most Mormons I know are good people.KC @ Lookout Landing - July 17, 2007
The fundamentalists, though, are not.
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
I agree, they aren't
As an FYI, the term Mormon Fundamentalist is not really correct. They aren't Mormon at all, as they aren't members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons).Back on-topic:
Guthrie looks like he has good movement on his fastball and breaking pitch. Am I not seeing it, or is he not throwing many (any) change-ups?
KC @ Lookout Landing - July 17, 2007
Aren't they considered a sect?
Used to be, anyway. But I've been wrong before.Honestly, I wish I could remember what Guthrie's pitching looks like. It's just been too long since I saw him on the field. >:(
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
Hehe, sadly true
I have read a few scouting reports on him in the last couple weeks. Most were gushing about the good velocity and movement of his fastball, and how he has vastly improved compared to his last couple years in the Indians system. Didn't learn much else.Even bad teams have good games. The M's will return tomorrow to kick Oriole keister!

Jeff, I love your writing style and all the good info on this site. I am used to getting jabbed about being Mormon - its not a big deal. I would continue to read your site even if all your readers were anti-Mormon.KC @ Lookout Landing - July 17, 2007

Oh cool
Only been there once.Was able to fly down and watch the Mariners play the Pads a few years back, before the new stadium was built.
We directed the cabbie to take us to Qualcom Stadium. He replied, "I can take you to The Murph, but not to Qualcom."
Speaking of the Pads, I saw the Rainiers and Beavers play in Portland a couple weeks ago. Jones, Balentien, and Clement all looked good. The poor Pads fans - there wasn't a single player on that squad with a major league skill set.
Case in point: Horacio shut 'em down.
KC @ Lookout Landing - July 17, 2007
The Padres have a terrible system.
Like, it's really, really bad. Barfield and Kottaras are the last two passable players it's had and they've both been traded away.And Qualcomm will forever be the Murph to those of us who've lived here long enough. Your cabbie was right.

I mean it's not like he can just suck one year defensively then be great. He's over 30 years old so it's not like he's still learning how to throw baserunners out.I'd like to think that this season's Johjima is the real Kenji.

even after McClaren made the change, RRS had two take two additional pitches to make sure he was warm.10 min ago, he wasn't warm.

RRS = 10 strikeouts in seven innings
Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
That is because
the ball is spinning the opposite way since he is from Australia.ppl4life - July 17, 2007
It's a good thing he doesn't hit
because runs don't count the same if you go clockwise.Jeff Sullivan - July 17, 2007
and I guess it is good
that he doesn't just throw to second all the time instead of homeppl4life - July 17, 2007

Question Jeff...(with AC/DC references)
Why do you have one road of the bullpen (or set of relievers) that is on the way up (all the way up to Thunderstruck for JJ), then you have one set of relivers on the "Highway to Hell"???ppl4life - July 17, 2007
Speaking of AC/DC (and, well, music)...
Why the heck does GS52 NOT have an intro song yet??? I got an e-mail from someone who knew I was a huge GS52 fan, and he asked me what song he came into.I know we've briefly gone over this before, but we need to resolve this. It was cool and all not having our "FREE GEORGE SHERRILL!!!" cheers drowned out by the PA system as he strutted in from the bullpen, but at the same time it was LAME LAME LAME that he doesn't have an intro song.
PositivePaul - July 17, 2007
