Fuck this 5 man bench. I may be a complete baseball novice from a country that mistrusts the game, but even I can realise that Vidro is a fat fuck who can't run quickly compared to the guys on the bench who are blocking Dickey.
I am just relieved that we won, even if our hitting was poor overall. Nice to see a few walks though. And the bullpen was honourable. And Bedard didn't stink up the joint.
Didn't stay in the thread the whole time but that was a nice game. Impressive showing by the bullpen which is one of my bigger fears going into this season.
For having a great sense of humor. Brett & Baker, thanks for joining us for the end of the game.
Sorry I had to run after the game, but I was incredibly late for a meeting. Come down anytime. The seats next to us are owned by a car dealership and those cheese dicks bail early all the time.
and I echo the holy shit it was freezing sentiment! But definitely worth it - AMAZING game and great to see JJ get the save. Bedard I was disappointed with at first, but the more I think about it, he DID get shafted a lot on calls and he had nearly zero control but still went 5 innings with just a few hits and a fuckin michael young HR - not bad overall. Great performance by the bullpen too! Overall not too shitty - and we are a game up on the Angels!
Was it just me being a homer, or was Bedard getting really, really, really squeezed the first few innings? I was very impressed by him today and I think he could've easily gone 6, but he was at 101 pitches... Basically, it looked like Erik should've had 2 or three more K's tonight, and the ump screwed him over...
Lowe!

sooper jeenyus - March 31, 2008
I feel bad for EOF
this is why ERA is stupid. He looked dynamite. So did Green. So did Bedard. I love our pitching right now.
Matthew - March 31, 2008
Bedard had no command and still was awesome
Jeff Sullivan - March 31, 2008
No command Bedard >>> Most pitchers best

Our five man bench is unnecessary.
Our 11 man pitching staff is not enough.
Discuss.
EnglishMariner - March 31, 2008
no
Matthew - March 31, 2008
Agree
There's no point in having 3 bench players with the same skillset
OlSalty - March 31, 2008
Cairo<Dickey
mariners124m - March 31, 2008
Problem
We would not lose Cairo
We should, but we won't
IceStormV1 - March 31, 2008
The less said about the symbolic nature of that statement the better
ningwers - March 31, 2008
If we go with a four-man bench
we'll lose Jimerson as Mangament seems all uppity on Cairo.
IceStormV1 - March 31, 2008
Tacoma's right next to Seattle
Graham MacAree - March 31, 2008
Cairo is useless and our pitching staff could be deployed better

what happened?
//watching Angel game.
Matthew - March 31, 2008
Beltre swung through strike 3
McLaren thought he might've gotten a piece.
Jeff Sullivan - March 31, 2008
Angels decided to load the bases as a token of respect for striking out Vlad.
Wilder. - March 31, 2008
Twins have bases juiced with 1 out.

Yeah
There's little to complain about at the moment.

Bearskin Rugburn - March 31, 2008
I'd be encouraged by Wilkerson's two walks
but considering Kenji has two of his own, I think it's better to just leave it alone and not pay attention.
Jeff Sullivan - March 31, 2008
Kinda fucking up your thoughts on the projection
Johjima may get the 20+ walks by sheer luck/coincidence.

Bedard followed by Felix is a whole lot more intimidating than I initially thought.
Downright scary, actually. YES WE ARE GOOD

Oh shit, tomorrow's game is a 3am start.
Only 24 hours to go!
I am going to be very tired this week. :(
I am just relieved that we won, even if our hitting was poor overall. Nice to see a few walks though. And the bullpen was honourable. And Bedard didn't stink up the joint.
EnglishMariner - March 31, 2008
And we discovered you have a pussy!
Wilder. - March 31, 2008

Patience, Jeff. Patience.
In four days, the glory begins anew.
Sadly it'll probably last the whole of one week >:(

But then we have Bedard! Felix!

Jeff Sullivan - March 31, 2008
Even Bedard and Felix will have a hard time making up for an Anaheim Cup repeat

ningwers - March 31, 2008
Four questions? More like one on FSN
Bedard must have pimp-slapped Mantank on camera after her 2nd question for them to cut it off like that.
Gomez - March 31, 2008
holy crap, check out the PIT-ATL game
the PIT OF let a routine flyball drop between the LF and CF for the tying two runs to score on a 5 run 9th inning comeback.
Matthew - March 31, 2008
Jason Bay and Nate McLouth
An All-Star outfield anywhere in MLB.
Gomez - March 31, 2008
McLouth on 2 of my 3 fantasy teams
something to smile about all year I hope.

Not bad.
Didn't stay in the thread the whole time but that was a nice game. Impressive showing by the bullpen which is one of my bigger fears going into this season.
Heck yea, Putz with a save already!
ThundaPC - March 31, 2008
Marlon Byrd won big points with me tonight
For having a great sense of humor. Brett & Baker, thanks for joining us for the end of the game.
Sorry I had to run after the game, but I was incredibly late for a meeting. Come down anytime. The seats next to us are owned by a car dealership and those cheese dicks bail early all the time.
Sec 108 - March 31, 2008
"Hey Marlon, remember when you were the Phillies center fielder?..." *he nods* "...of the future!?"
Marlon's reaction was awesome. :)
I had a good time down there. I'll keep my eyes open to see if they leave in the 7th again.
BrettJMiller - March 31, 2008
What'd he do?
redwolf75 - April 1, 2008
He actually chuckled. Turned and smiled at us as he laughed.
He took it very well IMO. I like the guy a lot more today than I used to.
Sec 108 - April 1, 2008
Holy Christ, Really?
Four threads?????????????????????????? Tomorrow is not looking so good.
CapSea - March 31, 2008
Yeah
And a lot of regulars were at the game. So imagine this, PLUS them.
Gomez - March 31, 2008
I don't know how happy I am about that.
But it's definitely impressive.
CapSea - March 31, 2008
Recently getting back
Good God it was cold but it was very worth it. Not as awesome as last year but still pretty god damn excellent.
Mariner John - March 31, 2008
Just got back from the game
and I echo the holy shit it was freezing sentiment! But definitely worth it - AMAZING game and great to see JJ get the save. Bedard I was disappointed with at first, but the more I think about it, he DID get shafted a lot on calls and he had nearly zero control but still went 5 innings with just a few hits and a fuckin michael young HR - not bad overall. Great performance by the bullpen too! Overall not too shitty - and we are a game up on the Angels!
seattlesundevil - March 31, 2008
Just got back
Good grief it was freezing cold but hot damn that was one great game! I heart Lopez and King Awesome.
Also, the home plate ump can go fuck himself.
BrianL - March 31, 2008
It was really cold.
I had to give standing ovations to all the players just so I had an excuse to stand.
CapSea - March 31, 2008
I was actually looking forward to the mile long walk to my car
just so I could finally move around to stay warm.
BrianL - March 31, 2008
My buddy and I were the EXACT same way..
We parked way the hell out there and thank GOD it stopped raining / snowing / hailing by the time the game was over.. the walk to the car was amazing.
seattlesundevil - March 31, 2008
I unfortuantely got to wait for two freight trains
Yay awesome timing!
Mariner John - March 31, 2008
Yeah
Had to wait for them both as well, but it was warmer out there then in was while watching the game.
krb - March 31, 2008
Got caught up in that too.
BrianL - April 1, 2008
Great game.
I would have prefered that it've been closer though, hehe. ;)
Coach Owens - March 31, 2008
Great game.
Was it just me being a homer, or was Bedard getting really, really, really squeezed the first few innings? I was very impressed by him today and I think he could've easily gone 6, but he was at 101 pitches... Basically, it looked like Erik should've had 2 or three more K's tonight, and the ump screwed him over...
Blind homerism, or did I have a point?
BrettJMiller - March 31, 2008
Not just you
I said it, everyone here said it, Blowers said it, Sims said it, Niehaus said it...and he's blind.
This ump was horrendous...so terrible.
PShwa - March 31, 2008
I got a chance to see the TVs
and according to whatever the strike zone thing is, he had at least two strikeouts that became 2-2 or 3-2 counts.
Mariner John - March 31, 2008
That ump's strike zone was tighter than a 17 year ol-ERRRR compact parking spot
Gomez - March 31, 2008
Yeah, I'm watching the replay now...I think Bedard looked really, really sharp.
I thought so in person too, but holy crap he looked even better than I thought. It's going to be fun watching this guy pitch.
BrettJMiller - March 31, 2008
He wasn't sharp
Bad control made worse by the umpires.
That was Bedard on an off day.
Graham MacAree - April 1, 2008
Ehhh it didn't look awful.
I'd say it was slightly below average control. He really got squeezed badly today. The zone was at the very least consistently small though.
