Lookout Landing

ok maybe there is a good explanation

for raul batting

I meant four

though I would like to see him benched

Thank The Good Lord!

Sexson is benched. Now Ben has to come through today to show he belongs there.

maxthedrummer - August 1, 2007 reply

In other news

a bridge collapses in Minneapolis, and Shelley Duncan looks like a retarded corpse.

Also, the White Sox get closer and closer to ending up under the Royals.

Faux - August 1, 2007 reply

I hate Shelley Duncan

And I will bet everything I own that he kills the M's when we play them.

I don't hate him yet.

I just think that he probably spends his spare time hanging around morgues and cemeteries, looking for his next meal.

Faux - August 1, 2007 reply

you're late to the party

If there's a party for him

I don't want to be there.

Faux - August 1, 2007 reply

Wow

Remember that animated "Hunchback of Notre Dame" from a few years ago?

I'm just saying.

Shawk - August 1, 2007 reply

No driving off a cliff for me tonight.

with the wee one Willits

as the Angles DH, Vidro's no long the DH with the fewest homeruns

DH's in strage places

2-spot and the 9-spot

strange, dammit

that would be longer

why can't a proff read better here. I'm going to be on most the night here too, wife's in oly for work

I look forward to Beltre reclaiming

"King Awesome" status tonight, after his recent mini-slump. Let's go Belts!

Slozbury Stouvre - August 1, 2007 reply

Anyone care to explain

why in the hell the angels would DH willits and toss Anderson in left? wouldn't that be like DHing Ichiro and throwing Raul in center?

Paseman - August 1, 2007 reply

Richie benched=good. Ibanez cleanup=bad

So I guess it's a wash.

Time to step up Felix. It's go time.

Glad you're safe from cliffs tonight, Jeff

Uh

If my computer keeps not letting me access Mariners.com, it's going to be an ugly night.

Brad Adams / Pregame show

Criticizing the Angels for running out the same old lineup for all three games.

Huh?

I fuckin hate ebay

I was bidding on a throw back M's jersey and a crazy neon green M's hat. I had them both locked up and got out bid in the last minute on both by 50 cents by the same guy on both

andyboi - August 1, 2007 reply

50 cents comes

from him making a max bid that was higher then yours. His max bid could have been 30 bucks higher then yours, but he only has to pay .50 higher then whoever is in second.

That being said, being sniped sucks

Limerickx - August 1, 2007 reply

He didnt set his max bid until

the last minute and thats what pissed me off

andyboi - August 1, 2007 reply

I am going to miss that hat.

Shawk - August 1, 2007 reply

I'm nervous

we need some sort of poll

perhaps someone can create a poll about what the next site poll should be about? Does anyone want to poll the group to see if they agree?

That sounds a lot like the viaduct vote

In a few years

Let's discuss whether or not we're going to have a meeting to discuss the possibility to holding a possibility discussion meeting about whether or not we're going to hold a public vote on whether or not we're going to consider, reconsider and eventually deconsider doing anything about the viaduct. I think it's possible.

Discuss.

screw it

lets try and build light rail for the 14th time. and by try and build, I mean dick around in a planning committee, waste $50 million, and actually do nothing. Agreed?

Mike Blowers has been in the sun today.

So has Dave Sims

Those cartoon commercials are fucking

retarded.

Sexson benched.

Dugout still giving high-fives. I don't understand. How is this possible?

chemistry = gone

McLaren sez

"Win one...for the Richie."

I have to turn the TV off

every single time they do the Raul Bobblehead commercial. It annoys me to no end.

I bet

his bobble head would play better d

Richie benched

we have ZERO chance to win, the chemistry will be so shitty.

shit in the chemistry

second order reaction?

Be sure to not mix

ASSES and bases

I think shit's a catalyst.

Well, it stinks

I love when MLB.tv

gets deeked out by the tape que. McLaren interview coming up!

Breaking pitch, please

Wish granted!

That was suh-weeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Wow

Real packed house behind home plate to see Felix.

Fun fact: the guy behind the plate tonight, Doug Eddings, was the guy who butchered the AJ Pierzynski non-strike three call in that Game 2 of the ALCS with the Angels and ChiSox.

Whoa

100 in the dirt... or is it 97?

FELIX PWNS VLAD

Guerrero should participate in the homerun derby

every year.

K!

That was a FANTASTIC sequence to Vlad.

Vlad would fit in perfectly on the Ms

except for the talent

Holy Smokes

Felix absolutely abused Vlad there.

That at bat was absurd.

Happy Jeff.

hmm vlad would swing

at pitch rolled to him

SIT DOWN!

Embarrassing at bat.

Well..

Fastball? Firmly established.

I believe...

7 four-seams, 1 two-seam, for 7 strikes. Felix may have gotten bombed by the Halos this year, but I have a real good feeling about this game.

Jered Weaver, bow down.

WOOHOOOOOOO!

good felix showed up 1st inning....

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

Bend over and take it vlad

Thats gotta be embarassing

Striking out against Felix isn't embarrassing.

It's a privilege.

that was really fast

K!!!!!!

Man it's gotta be frustrating to be

a Vlad fan these days.

FILTHY

That was gross.

Fucking filthy.

bpdawg24 - August 1, 2007 reply

93 mph slider?

I'd say Felix remembered to put on

his big-boy shorts tonight.

bpdawg24 - August 1, 2007 reply

that's not nice

but I like it

That is what you call a 'statement'.

Neihaus calls it a 'statement' too.

Best 1st inning statement

he's made since coming back from injury.

Looked like Weaver's 1st inning

Don't get too excited

andyboi - August 1, 2007 reply

That looked nothing like Weaver's 1st inning

patsfan - August 1, 2007 reply

fuck you MLB.tv

I just missed the best AB all season.

I love

the nonplussed look on the face of Felix, like he totally didn't just strike out Vladimir Guerrero with three 100 mph fastballs.

3rd was a slider

I think

Felix = 100% strikes

Thanks, Vlad.

For me, at least

That rivaled putz vs vlad.

Jered Weaver 2006 K/BB: 3.18

Jered Weaver 2007 K/BB: 2.06

If he doesn't have

The pinpoint command he's raved about, he has very little.

The Yankees are going to the playoffs

No denying it anymore.

5 HRs for the team

0-4 for A-rod.

8 HRs last night

Arod, nada

Thanks for the update, ESPN

Teixeira

Bet Atlanta fans are happy to see him? 3-run shot, walked and scored 2 runs.

Adam Jones mentioned already

Get him up here!

Happy birthday, Adam Jones.

You know what'd make it really special?

Happy Birthday, Adam Jones!

Your birthday present? Ibañez batting cleanup!

happy b-day aj

Happy Birthday AJ.

Hey Bill, you know what would be a kickass birthday present? A promotion.

Safeco eats yet another righty.

shit

Damn.

Great call, Dave.

Truly epic.

Fuck you Garret Anderson

You totally did that on purpose, you burned out loser.

That really sucked.

That really really sucked.

I don't like Blowers answer...

As late as a month from now when the rosters expand...the latest Adam Jones will be called up.

I'm still rooting for tomorrow though.

D'oh, Almost Guillen, almost!

Let him play in Tacoma Thursday

Then call him Friday. That way you get to say goodbye to him at LL/USSM night

fucking ballpark

Fuck you Safeco

oh Dave

you crazy old man, i love you

Whew

I thought that one was leaving for sure.

In many, many other parks

You would be right.

Neihaus

"And it's going to beeeeeeee......"

Garet Anderson heads to the dugout with the ball

"eeeeeeeee.......caught near the warning track."

Dave Neihaus is like Gameday

"And it's going to beeeee....."
Buffering
Buffering
Buffering
"eeeeeeee......."
Buffering
Buffering
"eeee.....eee..ee..e.....caught near the warning track!" :one minute behind actual game:

Dave Niehaus is taking too long to respond

The connection has timed out.

Taking balls = sin

Yuni

Holy FUCK.

Holy shit!!

Yuni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YUNI!!!!!

BROUSSARDD!!!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HOLY FUCK CUBAN!

HOT DAMN

Its gonna be a good night

OH DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

That snag was absolutely ridiculous.

DFA Richie.

YUNI!!

AND BEN!!!!!!

i love you benny

great play by yuni, even with the shitty throw

LOL

I think Dave just had a stroke. Didnt understand a word of his call

Dear gravy

Like to see the Wizard of OC pull that one off.

RELEASE RICHIE

Yuni!

I forgot that he could move that much!

Two balls?

I don't understand...

That's, uh....

what she said.

wow

nasty

catch the ball

get that call

Brouusard fucking rules.

Goodbye Richie

Weve found a solution

Broussard for 1st!

Broussard again!

Richie would've fallen over like a tree as it headed towards Guillen.

Great play, Ben

Too bad Sexson not being in the lineup is going to kill the chemistry, and thus, our chances to win the game!

Everything Richie can do

Ben can probably do better.

Adam Jones can do better than that.

There are three kings on the field tonight

Ben, Felix, and Beltre.

We three kings of Mariner lore

Own their hitters and mop the floor.

ok, if richie ever plays against a righty again,

we need to revolt

Richie Sexson would've fallen over

and that would've been a double.

Richie Sexson . . .

You have been . . . ERASED

the team chemistry is clearly bad

Ben says:

put me in coach, I'll give you my all and it'll actually be pretty good.

mary - August 1, 2007 reply

Hello Richie

IT IS A PLATOON!

I actually like how that inning went.

Solid contact by all three hitters, we'll find the holes eventually.

Pitching in tacoma tonight

TOMO OHKA!

Remember when he was demanding

millions last fall?

Tomo Ohka is Japanese for BP Pitcher

Hes not doing so hot tonight

2-0 after 1. AJ 1-1 with a single

Also in Tacoma...

...Balentien just went yard.

rjwood75 - August 1, 2007 reply

Maybe if he opened his eyes

he would be a better pitcher.

Broussard in the hole

Get your drool bucket out

Yuni made that play

Raul!

With the wimpy single. Something to build off of!

ibanez!!

nice hit Bobblehead.

Let's go Beltre.

yay for pussy hits

boo for it being ibanez, not jones

lets go beltre

Isn't that Sweet...

Raul gave Adam Jones a single for his birthday...

PositivePaul - August 1, 2007 reply

Ye gods his fastball is straight

Why did they just show Beltre's RISP

With a runner on first?

Whoooo!

Hits.

And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrres Broussard!

Hits!

It's time to make these into runs!

Cmon Broussard..

ERASE RICHIE

Consecutive pussy hits!

Ben Broussard, however, doesn't know what a pussy hit looks like.

poop

Well that was anti-climatic

I was hoping for something cooler

D'oh

Kenji up. Please don't GIDP.

Even Broussard doesn't hit 1.000.

Oh well. Go Kenji.

That fly out rocked

Way better than Richie's fly outs.

No high fives in the dugout for you Ben

Dave talking run differential

maybe Sims'll come back with some third-order standings.

Kenji's totally going to pop out right here.

Pop out off the wall.

Kenji!

KENJI!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenji!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KENJI!!

JOLTIN JOHJIMAAAAAAAAA

Thought that was gone

Thatll do

that was way better

Leave it to Weaver

to give up runs in the second.

Wow - balls DYING in right tonight..

more than usual.

Guess who just went yard

WLAD THE IMPALER!

King Awesome with the nice slide

Dave was still confused after it bounced a few

times. Good Times.

Niehaus

with the most anti-climatic 2-run double call ever.

KENJI!!!

Joh.

Jim Slaton passed a kidney stone yesterday

I passed one years ago. That is an absolutely painful experience.

A friend of mine went through that.

Said it was the most painful thing he has ever experienced in his life.

Thankfully, I have not had to go through it.

And women think

Giving birth is the worst pain ever ; )

have had two kidney stone.....

and two kids without drugs....

the kidney stones were MUCH more painful...

shudders!

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

I still don't understand the whole

"natural" childbirth stuff.

HAHA

And of course, Beltre calls himself safe at home. I love the man

What?

He didn't point to first on that?

Nah

He had a good look at it. Didn't need to ask for help on the call

I really want lopez to do better

Weaver ERA > Felix ERA

That's more like it.

Excellent shot of Felix picking his nose

That guy owned Vladimir Guerrero.

J-Lo..

More top hand!

Pop-up twins time.

Felix! Yuck!

Pulled a Buhner

Pop up twin at it again.

Now Twin-the-Greater needs to knock Kenji in.

fuck...

Lopez is pretty pathetic.

You know how the Brewers sent Weeks down to AAA?

I hate to say it, but

Bloomquist for Second.
At least for a bit.

Yuni!!!!!!

I would LOVE a Yunibomber

RBI single here.

or RBI double.. either way.

done and done

he is getting a little lazy with his popups lately

In Communist Cuba

there's RBIs for everyone, even Yuni.

Jered leaving his fastball

up in the zone, and both Guillen and Johjima nearly hit HR's. In Johjima's case it cost us.

Whooooooooooo

YUNI!!!!!!!!!

CUBAN!

YUNIESKY BETANCOURT

BAD YUNI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.

betancourt!!!!

Yuni!!

Game MVP!! (OK, maybe it's Felix)

I like yuni

Yuni's on one of his line drive streaks again

Weird that righties are the guys doing the damage right now.

I want more runs.

cuba's punt/pass/kick competition

is off balance throws, popups and wierd names for latin guys. That is how Yuni got the money for the raft

good inning

Ichiro 0-2, RBI hits from bottom of lineup

this feels like Vlad and the Angels last night.

Wet girls playing football

beautiful

where

just now, on the M's broadcast

Why'd they switch back to baseball?

:(

Big Love is a fantastic show

Ginnifer Goodwin = hot.

between her and Felix pownage, I'm getting quite excited.

chloe sevigny is kind of hot too

they dress her up wierd on the show, though

yeah

and you gotta give props to an actress willing to do a 5 minute explicit BJ scene

Down on the farm....

Wlad and Nick Green have homered. Free them both!!!

I am assuming the trivia question

answer is Rick Ankiel.. but I dunno

Woo! I love getting those right..

hardly ever happens hah

Uh huh

Texas up 7-6

Go Rangers!

Heh

Cleveland announcers called the Rangers "The Royals" after the go-ahead run scored in extras.

We need a nickname for Willits....

I'm partial to

"Little Bitch" but thats just me..

"That little white guy that died"

Whatchou talking about?!

this will be funny

so why are we getting no speed

readings from FSN? guess its broken. yay for grounders

He broke the gun

His pitching was just that sexy

thats what i figured

I am lovin' good felix tonight!

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

Is Gameday's radar gun off tonight,

or is Felix really throwing 100 MPH heat? 0_o

dave says he is

Subtract 3mph

Yeah, that's what I figured when I see saw Jered

hitting 95 on occasion. Thought I should check, though.

I remember

Dave Cameron mentioning that the F/X technology MLB is using added 3 mph to the actual speed. Was that in reference to Safeco's gun?

All of them.

They've been standardized.

Three nice innings

This feels like a complete

Felix ownage night. Where Felix owns the opposition, that is.

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

Some nice defense for the M's so far

Keep it up boys!

This lineup is pretty pathetic as well

more runs please

8-6 Texas

oh, dave...

score wrong,
balls/strikes wrong...
the joys of memory loss....

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

BALL SIX, PI TO -6, MY OH MY

j/k Dave's alright.

Ankiel taking a Babe Ruth-like path to stardom

In play, run(s)

Love that. Texas still scoring

Isn't that the greatest thing to see?

Especially when its for us and nobody is on base

9-6 Texas

Guillen!

Beltre stops that ball.

Jose.....

now do it twice, Rauuuuuul!

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Had to boo Ibanez from home

Career night for Ibanez

On Jones is birthday

Get out of the way Ibanez. Let a real man play LF

IBANEZ!

Bye Bye Adam Jones

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

by which i mean

we won't see him up here

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

Holy crap.

Rick Ankiel has 31 HR's in AAA? Why haven't the Cardinals called him up yet?

Team chemistry

BADA-BING!

[rim shot]

esoteric - August 1, 2007 reply

No place for him, really

Between So Taguchi, Encarnacion, Chris Duncan, Player A, and that guy Pujols, there's nowhere to put him, and no guarantee his performance will directly translate.

I didn't even mention Schumacher

Man, the Cards are loaded.

I was wondering the same thing

maybe they are concerned that he hasn't struck any one out yet.

Jesus Ibanez.. settle down!

Raul with actual power?!

Hahahah

Matthews is no Ichiro!

Rauuuuuuuul!

RAUL FLIPPING IBANEZ?!?

raul?!?

i still think you should give it up

We OWN YOUR ASS, Jered Weaver.

He just earned his "U" back

Definitely

HAHAHA

YES! Man, right when players are on the edge of being replaced, that's when they come through. Just like Vidro after the break.

RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL

fuck jones is never getting called up

although now thats two guys who step it up immediately following rumoprs of a callup

This game isn't going very well at all.

Jered looking like Ervin Santana out there. >_<

Jered Weaver

Flyball pitcher.

rough week to be a weaver

if i were in that family, i wouldnt be going outside for a while...

Announers

Blowers: "Any idea why Beltre appeals to first base."

Neihaus: "I don't even think HE knows why."

lawls

Holy balls.

Vlad vs. Felix:

What the hell?

Exactly..

Thus the "Amazing at-bat" comments haha.. I was laughin my ass off.

Vlad looked really, really, bad in that AB

I saw that.

Angel fans probably pulling out their hair.

The elder Weaver brother

must be glowing right now.

Has any non-Lopez batter not made solid contact?

vidro

Ichiro?

Think the Weaver family is embarassed

to be in attendance tonight and last night?

These are peculiar strikes

BEN!

Yeah, Broussard's awesome

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

Raul!

Turbo'd!

Broussard>>>>>>Sexson

haha

Runs right through home.

That's earned you an extra U, Rauul.

Broussard!!

The King of first base!!

BEN FREAKING BROUSSARD

Adam Jones has time to score and pleasure Rauls wife in the time Raul took to score

HAHAHHA!

Somebody has to.

ben almost killed him

Ben!

BEN!!!!!!!!!!

Ben Broussard rocks more than my socks

THE SPEED DEMON!!!!!!!!!

RAUL!!!

I don't think Raul can slide

he must have forgotten how because he's never on base

definitely shades of Giambi there

ME!!!!

Ben in Va - August 1, 2007 reply

Mac..

You see whats going on? Sexson was boo'd all game long yesterday - he gets benched - we are up by five in the 3rd. Chemistry? Cmon..

awesome

Mmm...

Tempting to buy MLB.TV for the last two months of the season...

Do it, it's worth it. I got it last week

andyboi - August 1, 2007 reply

Yeah, but it's blacked out for Japan...

Need to figure out if JAP works well.

It would be ironic if it didn't.

Wow.

Is it just me or do pitchers named Weaver really suck?

What is going on -- is Jered trying to outsuck his brother???

HAHAHAHAHAHA

PositivePaul - August 1, 2007 reply

Felix looks ecstatic

Yeah

Calm down, big guy. You still have innings to pitch.

Brouuuuuuuuuusard.

I gave him Ra_l's U's

Jered's start = Jeff Weaver's start yesterday

Weavers getting PWNED all over the place...

OH NOES!! BOTH WEAVER BROTHERS SMACKED AROUND LIKE LONGHAIR HIPPIE STONERS THIS SERIES!!

Seriously though, this is a fantastic way to start the game...

esoteric - August 1, 2007 reply

woooooo jered

shit....it's Lopez

Bootcheck?

Worst...last name....ever

Cupcheck

Most threatening last name ever.

Yeah, Jered.

Your cup's the problem.

Holy Smokes

Jered might not last as long as Jeff did.

how was that a stirke

Well that was progress

Lopez Flied out a good 10 feet deeper

Lopez pop-up #2

Man, I'd love to see a Weaver vs. Weaver showdown.

Really.. really? hahah

I think we had one of those.

IIRC, it didn't turn out too well for us.

Motherfucking popups!

I wish Lopez was good.

pop-up

some thing never change

I'd consider it a successful AB

If Lopez were to strike out swinging OVER the pitch.

Lopez does his part

to ensure more innings of Weaver.

10-2 in Tacoma

Rainiers just had a 10 run 2nd

Figgins shows bunt to break up no-hitter

Someone's ear is getting a bruise.

Breaks it anyways...

Send Guillen his way...

Texas 9 Cleveland 6

Bottom of the 10th. Ah, it's a good day to be a Mariners fan. We just need the cherry on top of AJ getting the call.

Minneapolis had a worse traffic problem today...

too obvious

what to say here

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

ADAM JONES MAINTAINS

FELIX'S PERFECT GAME

Adam Jones

takes three steps and parks under that with a beer in his throwing hand.

Raul contributes a double

and costs a double.

Why are you clapping for that?

Stop clapping.

That patented Raul stumbling slide

No one made sliding catches look more horrible.

FUCKING RAUL!!

Jones would have had that

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

First base hit for the Angels

Is one that Adam Jones would've caught. A haunting reminder.

Ibanez kills Felix' no-hitter.

perfect game gone

Ah ah ahhhh

No run on Guillen.. Now cmon Felix - keep em scoreless!

Chone=Worst Name Ever

Happy August 1st Buddy!

Jeff is MIA

He must have hung himself.

Okay, there he is

This is the worse 5-1 lead ever

I think he got kneed in the nuts

He's fine!

Just a nut shot!

FELIX!

Ben is so powerful

he can take down our king.

ha ha

that did makeme laugh

What happened

??? Eh?

Slica - August 1, 2007 reply

We can't have it all...

Apparently.

But if it were Sexson, I assume Felix would be dead.

Sexson would never get to that ball

The one time we need a slow piece of crap at 1st base.......

WHAT HAPPENED...WHAT HAPPENED??

God, I don't have TV...please describe what happened?

esoteric - August 1, 2007 reply

Chopper to 1B

Felix and Ben collided. Felix stayed down, wincing in bad pain.

Felix and Broussard

Crashed into each other chasing a chopper hit by Vlad.

Another Mariner gets injured during a Vlad AB

We need some more runs.

notice no one is talking to ben..

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Not Ben's fault, y'all

We're all cool here!

He's fine. OH THANK GOD!

Relax, he's fine.

Ben knows better than that.

Wow

I can't believe he's all right.

I'm thankful, but... damn. That was a scare.

Deep breath....

ok - Broussard>>>Sexson - no longer >>>>>>>>

double?

ummm, no.

ahhhh :D

Felix is ok! Thank god

BeltredNOT - August 1, 2007 reply

There would be no quicker way to get your ass cut than to destroy Felix

OK.

Looks like he's alright. Whew. Man, I would have felt really bad. :(

It's Raul's fault anyways.

He is hurt

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

I blame Raul Ibanez and Bill Bavasi for this.

Adam Jones' mere presence as a left fielder prevents this catastrophe from happening. And I don't wanna hear any reasons why I'm wrong!! ]Ears plugged[

wait that was a hit???

dammit my fantasy team and felix's era say fuck you scorekeeper

how was it not...

if no one had gotten hurt, no one still would have gotten Guerrero out at first.

ppl4life - August 1, 2007 reply

worst consecutive double-single-double

combo of all time.

BTW, the Angels own like 213 of those types of records.

Cant knock the big cat down

But damn that was fierce eh.

wadswerth - August 1, 2007 reply

Cant keep the big cat down

fubar

wadswerth - August 1, 2007 reply

It would be a miracle

If he still had is stuff after that incident.

Adam Jones would of borrowed Ichiro's

mental signals and moved Felix out of harms way.

Hmm...

V. Guerrero doubled to first, C. Figgins scored, O. Cabrera to third

Uh, yeah.

He has no power. He is really hurting

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

last pitch at 100

he's fine.

I just realized

Vlad's on my Public H2H fantasy team and I left him in the lineup so I got credit for a double. Huh.

Ugh.

That was a bang-bang play if I've ever seen one...

PositivePaul - August 1, 2007 reply

he is just throwing breaking balls

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Nice to see the website is doing funny things...

At least for me...

DAMN THAT WAS A SWEET THROW

THE D HAS SHOWN UP TONIGHT.

OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICHIRO!!!!!!!!!!!

No Home for You

NEXT!!!!!!

Trenchtown2 - August 1, 2007 reply

OH GOD

make the call already!!

Umm.. speechless.

Wow, that was incredible.

Vlad knew he was out.

He was safe.

But now we're fucking even.

how was he safe?

Foot got in under the tag

not from the replay i saw.

In either case, the ump clearly didn't have the angle on it. Send him a fruit basket.

Re-watch it...

in slow motion, if you can. Guerrero's leg went inbetween Johjima's, but the tag went on the leg before the foot touched the plate.

ppl4life - August 1, 2007 reply

Happy to be wrong

ICHIRO I LOVE YOU!

Indians lose.

Ichiro = MVP

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

ichiro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICHIRO!

Ichiro!!!!

BeltredNOT - August 1, 2007 reply

ICHIRO 4 GOD

Ichiro doubleclutched and still nailed him.

Well, I'll take the 2 runs.

But we probably needed to have gotten more.

Sooooo

Felix went down, and at the exact same moment my internet went down. That was bad. Ichiro brings back the sexy at least

After seeing Guillen and Ichiro

fire lasers to the plate today.. how great is it going to be when Adam Jones is in left to go with those arms - NOBODY will score on sac flies

that was probably the loudest i've screamed

since JJ struck out Manny a few weeks back

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

I jumped off the couch

Screaming at the TV. Like what I did when Felix went down, except happy this time

And also

Gameday clocked that pitch at 100, the first pitch over 88 or so i saw. Had me a tad worried

ohhh he might have made it

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Bonds grounds weakly to first

The Game

The first three innings looked like one of the best days as a Mariner fan.

Two minutes into the 4th inning looked like the worst day in Mariner history.

Now everything is good again.

Without Vlad's dreadlock air resistance

he scores on that play.

Why didnt Vlad run over Kengi?

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

He knew he would get judo chopped.

.384 average at Safeco?

You are lying, FSN.

Hello its FOX sports

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Jones

2-2 with a HR. Happy Birthday kid. See ya soon

That seems like his line EVERY night.

3-5 2 doubles HR then 2-4 HR 3 RBIs.. it just seems like monstrous lines in every game. Get him up here!

and he is in AAA because??.....

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

because Raul can still occassionally

have a decent night.

don't let up

score more runs

Heh

Figgins lost the handle. Beltre makes that play.

Adrian Beltre makes that play

maybe.

ahahhahhahaahahahahahahah u suck CHONE

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

those are funny

It would've been funny

if Figgins tried to throw that to first and drilled Weaver in his stupid head.

I call stolen base!

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

LET HIM STEAL

He had a good jump, damnit

Dang Vidro and his contact.

let him steal assbag

Defense... champions

yeah

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

VIDRO ATTACK!

Turbo is unfuckingstoppable.

Vidro!

Ours gets hurt - yours gets hurt.

The pitchers are getting drilled today

I hope Felix's rib is alright.

Thats for being your brothers brother

Were trying to kill him tonight

retard baseball?

Wow, what the hell surface are we playing on?

Superball?

This is not a good day to be a pitcher

I hope Weaver is OK.

But as far as the series of events... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

That's two balls hit at Weaver

WE'RE DOING IT WRONG!

These are all payback.

We're still bitter about Raffy, fuckers.

That was an inch or two away

from being an inning ending double play..

holy crap Brandon Inge made a sick play

Whats new..

Weaver slapstick

is so much funnier when it's happening on the other team.

that was almost really unlucky

that was a solid hit until it hit Weaver

Weavers got the flatest fastball

damn...

sactown257 - August 1, 2007 reply

Guillen! Channel your hatred!

Guillen

GIDP Shank Helmet attack.

is it seriously already time for NFL preseason?

They start earlier every year

When we're old they're gonna start training camp during the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl.

Has Guillen had any success against

his hated Angels this year?

not really

675 OPS coming into today

Woops!

Yup

Specifically, I remember the game in Anamiem where he hit a 2 or 3 run HR in his first AB.

Shit.

At least Guillen is pissed at himself.

Uh oh

Better stay away from the right side of the field because Guillen's gonna shank somebody.

fuck

Guillen and Beltre would place well

in a helmet-tossing competition.

I just picture Guillen with the toss

and Beltre pointing at it so noone losses track of hpw far it goes

teehee

Team Chemistry

Guillen imitates Beltre.

Guillen

most unhappy with that outcome.

Guillen shank someone next time up

What the hell is going on in this game?

That was on purpose

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Can we just call this game

before everyone gets hit by line drives?

good lord

oh my god

how do they get so many bitch hits????

Angels in the Outfield

Are confused.

i know random

but i think i hate napoli more than any other player in baseball

Thankfully

the Angels don't hit the ball hard enough to do any physical damage to our pitcher.

Wlad, Green and Jones

all with HR's tonight.

Talk about one hell of a September bench.

Green not on the 40 man

Oswaldo is. Kind of a shame there, not that Green's anything special but he's better than Oswaldo.

But

We do have an extra 40 man spot, dont we?

KK!!

Games like these

kind of put the whole Mike Coolbaugh situation in perspective.

Later, Izturis.

K!

fucking yanks scare me. They are going to be tough

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

90 slider

Felix's slider and JJ's splitter need to decide which is the more awesome pitch already.

I think we can say Felix is ok..

yeah, I'm 100% positive

that the Yanks are making the playoffs.

Cool Standings

is 49% positive.

im not

they've done this already a couple times this year. They'll drop 4 straight at some point and fall out of it.

I hope so

Felix's slider and two-seam

Look awesome this inning.

Yankees

I would complain about their easy schedule....but they seem to be the only team actually doing what they're supposed to do against bad teams.

where was that??!!!!???

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

Dont get angry Felix

Get even. We know that was a strike

Cmon Felix.. recover from not gettin a call

The Big Guy = Anybody

I'm 6'5

Guess I have a new nickname. And this one sounds a lot better than "bitchtits".

Reminds me of back in the day when

I use to work in the Target backroom. My superviser showed us a video on sexual harassment in the workplace, and then proceded to call a femal worker Bitchtitties. We all had a hearty laugh at that one

throw the curve

Nice recovery...

DP!!

Double-Play Twins!

awesome

OH yeah!

BlowerPower - August 1, 2007 reply

DP!!

Mathis should throw his helmet at Guillen

as a funny joke that gets badly misinterpreted.

So if we're sure the Yankees make the playoffs

then why do we even give a shit about the wildcard race? If we're deciding that it's already all over?

I love watching the youngsters...

congratulate each other for a job well done.....

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

What works for Jered

works just as well for Felix. >_<

Dave N: "da double play!"

I don't know about conceeding to NY

I mean, they cannot score 15 runs a game forever.. Can they?

they can't be playing

the royals, d-rays, orioles, and chi sox forever can they?

We're gonna find out this month

Indians, Tigers, Angels, Tigers again and BAWSTON.

Let's see their beloved run differential help them there before we call this wildcard race over.

Best run differential in baseball.

yeah but poor team chemistry

Meh, their bullpen could be better

Joba's on the way up.

It's about to get better.

like Edwar?

Edwar, incidentally, is also on the way up.

Not sure how Felix is physically.

But pitch count-wise he's in great shape.

He's kept the ball down pretty well

Last inning, so it looks like the collision didn't really affect him.

Low pitch count?

Against the Angels? That's almost as improbable as a low pitch count against us.

Pat O'Day

is so obviously hammered that it's beyond hilarious.

Adam Jones

Beats that out

This game could use a convincing funk blast

So, Felix...

Wind knocked out, or nutshot?

It can't be both?

Felix cockpunch

Awesome user name

Innings six thru nine

Still feels like an eternity away.

That was a nice stab by Jose

Willie watches that go by.

Damn straight.

Egads I hate Willits more than Curtis Granderson and Brandon Inge combined.

outside of when me play the Tigers

I actually really like Granderson.

me = we

whatever.

I'm eh on Curtis

but I like Inge. I have a soft spot for good glovemen

He's annoying like David Ortiz

One of the nicest guys in the game and a legit all-star talent that craps all over our pitching when we face them.

Ortiz and Granderson would be my favorite players if they played for us, which makes it all the more irritating.

We have our own, younger Granderson

Reed? :(

Reed has done a decent job

rebuilding some of his value. I bet the Mariners were trying to move him, but everyone was talking Wlad and Jones.

agreed

and as I said in Gomez recap, I wouldn't seeing him get a shot as the 4th outfielder.

he'd be a great 4th OF

in a Jones-Ichiro-Wlad OF.

Not left handed =(

But I'm not about to complain.

haha, your out

Willits either has a tremendous batting eye

or the self-realization that he has no power and is better off not swinging the bat and proving it to everyone else.

I say both

but mostly the latter. I'd like to see how he does against guys who throw 65%+ strikes.

HOW MANY TIMES

HAVE YOU BEEN ON BASE TONIGHT WILLITS?!?! HOW MANY? TELL ME.

10 straight fastballs.

tasty.

areacode206 - August 1, 2007 reply

the Redhook radio commercial

that guy sounds like a total asshole

Lol @ Kenji

Did Kenji just wave off that strike?

wow, Kenji just showed him up

On Gameday...

What does pfx stand for?

I've wondered the same thing

But no avail to an answer. I think it's movement without break, but that's just my guess.

It's a measure of break

less PFX, more movement. Fastballs are usually 10-15.

Kenji is slow.

What the hell was with that, Joh?

What was that Kenji?

You were out before you even started that slide.

Kenji better be swinging at anything close

If i was the ump Id ring him up

Lopez's bat is slow.

Kenji Johjima sez 'Bah!'

Jose Lopez hit the winner against Boston

that will be the highlight of his pathetic season.

Lopez strikes out

Weaver's strikeout count = 1

Lopez needs to deport himself.

He can use Yuni's raft!

jose is turning his head way early

I never played, but that can not be good

Free Nick Green....

Nick Green in the Majors is worse

Whoever is currently booing

did yuni just punch his bat?

alot of Sportspotters

definitely took it seriously..... I was as disliked over there in regards to Lopez heading into '06 as I am over here in regards to AJ.

:)

MfaninAlaska - August 1, 2007 reply

Well if I remember correctly, a majority of his

readers who believe his uh "analysis" also post at Sportspot.

let's be honest though

What Aj ios doing in AAA is nothing close to what Lopez did in AAA. He was a decent hitter, but was grossly over comp'd to Tejada.

Tejada was sucky @ 22 and good @ age 23

Lopez was decent @ 22...

God look at the Angel bench

Quilan then... who? what? why?

FUCK YOU ANGELS

great fucking dink hit leads to homer

that was a K

shake it off, Felix

gblady - August 1, 2007 reply

K!

Hope JJ enjoyed his day off

When JJ doesn't finish wins, I feel naked

To be fair

that was the only horrible pitch Felix has thrown today. This isn't a four-run effort.

Very true.

Bad Felix did not show his face today.

Right approach against this lineup

they'll put the ball in play, so he's been attacking low with fastballs for quick grounders.

He's been on tonight.

Tad unlucky.

Felix is not happy.

see offense

this is why you can't just stop scoring when you get to 5 runs. Sometimes it pays to put a team away when you have the chance.

But wait

I thought they only need to score four.

that only applied when Red was employed

now that he retired, the offense needs to score more runs

Yeah

Weaver should have been gone a long time ago

rjwood75 - August 1, 2007 reply

K!!!!

I love that change up

I missed it all season

Boy

Now that I think about it, I'm glad Ichiro gunned down Vlad at home plate.

Wow

Even Raul caught that.

Well, considering that the first two runs were

basically a result of that collision, Felix pitched pretty well. If you think about it, only two of those runs should be earned.

well at least we're still ahead...

GET SOME GOD DAMN RUNS

oh and because it hasn't been said this year

GA FOR THE HALL!!!!!!

We're on pace

for another JJ/Vlad showdown. This one with greater implications.

Did I just see someone jumping out of the stands

after Raul caught that?! Is he getting the tar beat out of him as I type? I need answers

Oh btw,

Felix's hanging slider in late innings = Game Over pitch.

Thankfully, we still have a lead.

Come on OFFENSE

Jones Update

Needs a triple for the cycle. I know its the hardest part...but still

you know, he could just hit a HR

with a runner on base and then pass him on the way between 3rd and home.

Or forget to tag home

Tacoma as a whole

is beating the crap out of Memphis...

Jones, Green, Wlad all gone deep

Everyone in the lineup has a hit (except Morse).. 7 of the 8 with hits have 2 or more...

Its an offensive showing!

MfaninAlaska - August 1, 2007 reply

Tomo Ohka

Still got shelled, too

He's Adam Jones

He'll hit a bunt triple.

doh!

rjwood75 - August 1, 2007 reply

well...

considering one of the runs was given up on a collision/infield double, I'd say he pitched better than the box score tells us.

Jonesy is a triple short of the cycle

Can he do it? It's only the top of the 6th

rjwood75 - August 1, 2007 reply

Jered Weaver still pitching

Did the Angels even bother flying their bullpen to Safeco?

Only Darren Oliver..

He is the only one that has even warmed up IIRC

Holy crap,

A relief pitcher for the Angels spotted.

olver looks older than my dad

Pussy hits galore

Darren Oliver warming up.

I can't believe the job security you can have in the Major Leagues if you throw with your left hand.

HAHAHA

Ichiro is mocking the Angels with his footspeed.

ellison not in the lineup tonight

mariners124m - August 1, 2007 reply

Stupid Weaver.

Next time kick the bat a little higher.

and that puts Weaver's ERA back over Felix's

Ibanez

Shoulda socked him as hard as he could...then he could wind up on the DL with a brusied hand.

So

I still think it's funny that they gave Vidro a single.

They gave Vlad a double on the collison

Safeco scorekeeper is tripping some gigantic balls.

Well, that was just a weird play.

This was a blatant error.

Yeah good point

I just wanted to use the phrase "tripping balls" tonight.

I saw a Sports Chalet license plate holder:

"I'd rather be trippin' balls."

Glad it wasn't just me.

The ball went into Izturis' glove, he just muffed the play.

Bullpen in for the first time this series.

Lefty vs. Ibanez

We all know how this pans out

Look at the confident Raul!

swingin at the first pitch from a lefty..

first pitch

low and out fo the strike zone!

mariners124m - August 1, 2007 reply

Sigh

M's win. I can't believe Izturis muffed a tailor made DP ball. Oliver in to make sure this gets completely out of reach on Weaver's dime.

Lefty on the mound means

RAUL NEEDS TO BE SITTING ON THE BENCH.

Welp, he will now.

Retire, you schmuck.

Royals, White Sox tied in Central again

holy shit.

GREAT JOB USING YOUR BENCH FUCKFACE

Our right side defense is shot now, too

I'm not sure Ben is an upgrade over at 1B

fielding wise

From what Ive seen today

He is. Other than the whole running into the king thing

Good job McClaren

Dumbass.

Yawn

Good Managing

Those boos are for you and you alone, Richie

predictable K?

or most predictable K ever?

knew it moment I saw him...

Broussard vs. Lefites

Can't be any worse than Richie vs. Everybody.

especially against a guy

whos lefty avg against is .404

(sigh)

And unlike the Cingular dad, it's not b/c of nut cancer.

McLaren: Whose $14 million slugger is this?

Pentland: it's our's.
Broussard: C'mon, John, I'm hitting so much better!
McLaren: He still works!
Broussard: Yeah, but I'm hitting better.
McLaren: HE'S A FIRST BASE SLUGGER, HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME.
Broussard: ::makes contrite face::
McLaren: You know, there are some teams that don't have a veteran first baseman at all! ::turns on water, makes Hillary Clinton sneer:: You remember that mister!
Ibañnez: ::sighs, has testicular cancer::

I salute you.

you know who I miss?

Eduardo...bring him back!

he's on BBTN now

richie now batting .199

good thing he can play defense well...

oh wait

I'll be fascinated to see

if McLaren lifts Richie on Friday when a righty reliever comes in.

no you won't

you'll be in everett

I'll be fascinated to see the game log

Felix still out there? Really?

Broussard vs. lefty

I can't believe I might prefer that to Sexson vs. anyone.

K!

Wow

That curveball owns even Gil Meche.

McLaren rewards vets for trying

by sending them up to PH in key situations where they can really look foolish.

Someone screen cap that AB on gameday. The only pitch he didn't swing at was the one in the strike zone.

Felix is on a strikeout bender

SIDDOWN!!

NUMERO SEIS!!

K!

Felix is making me nervous

with the rib grabbing.. hopefully its just a bruise and no hairline cracks or anything

I see that too

but it doesn't seem to be affecting his pitching.

If it is a crack...

well, it doesn't seem to be affecting him much.

ABSOLUTE FILTH!!!!!!!!

KK

Goodnight.

K!

Sit the fuck down

Hes dealing. The King is back

REGGIE WILLITS WHERE IS YOUR GREAT EYE

WHERE IS IT WHERE IS IT WHERE IS IT

felix is very good now

mariners124m - August 1, 2007 reply

SIT THE FUCK DOWN!

That's the thing about waiting, Willits.

Some pitches are strikes. Sit your white ass down.

that was REDICULOUS

I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge

on good felix starts.

He begins the game pounding the lower half of the zone and getting quick GB outs. Through the first 4/5 innings, you're likely to see a few singles, maybe a walk, less than 2 Ks and like a 3 GB/FB ratio.

Then after cruising through the lineup twice or so, Felix switches it up and starts unleashing the whole arsenal. Over the next 2/3 innings you'll see a hit or so, maybe another walk, but like 5 Ks and about an even GB/FB ratio.
