Some post in the first game thread sayin 4 or 5 innings - he hasnt thrown much and cannot possibly be stretched out enough to go deep in the game. That being said, He still looked like he had something left - but oh well
The ball has really found him out there today, highlighting his craptastic defense. But yeah, Mac probably can't even see past the infield so not like he noticed
This is wholly Squinty McClusterfuck's fault for playing him.
Also, why the fuck do people want Wlad called up? The man needs a regular job to work out the chinks in his game. Sitting his ass on the bench in Seattle won't help him much at all.
3-1 popups wheee
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Yes.
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Someone told me this is a boy.
T/F ?
JI - April 13, 2008
I believe so
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Yeah, it's a young gay man - would you believe that?
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Truth.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
He's one of them sugary boys
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Make one
About how you get all of your opinions from the blogosphere and can't think for your fucking self.
That'd be funny too.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Down boy, down.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Riiiiiight....
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Ooooh, ooooh, that sounds like me
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Thinking for yourself is good, unless you're completely wrong
then its OK to go with the blogosphere
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Are you related to him?
No other logical explanation here, I'm afraid
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
I go out to get my car battery replaced
And you guys lose Bedard while I'm out? Jerks. >:(
iheartjavelinas - April 13, 2008
Yea.. not fun :-(
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Bases loaded, one out
Fuck me.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Saunders is not pitching well
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
BUT HE HAS SUCH A SPARKLY ERA!!!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
If we had a competent lineup today maybe that would matter
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
It's a shame we have such a fucking awful lineup today.
This lineup would make Zito look like a Cy Young candidate again.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Let's not be rash
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Come on Lopez..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
He looked out
marinator - April 13, 2008
But he wasn't
marinator - April 13, 2008
Tie goes to the asian
Garces - April 13, 2008
Woo stolen base!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Suck a dick, Angels. Take turns.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Ichiro is amazing at eluding those tags..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I imagine him sliding in completly flat against the ground head to toe
No logical explanation for his forward momentum, like he has a skateboard under him or something
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
I like patient Loafie!
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
That was a perfect throw
God damn
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Ichiro
thenatural - April 13, 2008
!
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Ichiro hurts this team by making high-risk steals
No seriously, he does.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
No?
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
That stolen base helps my fantasy team!
And by 'my fantasy team' I mean 'the Mariners'
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
STOP APPLAUDING THAT YOU FAS BABIES
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I like that call
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
why are they cheering that?
MFAN - April 13, 2008
I hate that Lopez probably thinks he had a good at bat there
ack - April 13, 2008
I dont think that this was a prod. ab per definition.
Not with one out.
Schuxu - April 13, 2008
Raul vs lefties makes me sad.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Remember when there was talk of us
signing Delgado and playing Sexson in LF?
At least that didn't happen
Corco - April 13, 2008
Jesus Christ
there was a point in time where a much younger me was all over that idea.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
I was dubious about it
but at the time I wouldn't have been up in arms if it would have happened
Corco - April 13, 2008
Imagine an OF with Sexson and Ibanez in the corners? wow.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
But he's so tall...
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Yeah dude
he could pull dozens of home runs back from over the fence
Corco - April 13, 2008
STEAL HOME ICHIRO
I'd like that to happen.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Man that guy looks so homeless
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Just saw him.. laughed out loud.
He has such a happy "I am cracked out and like the fun noises" look on his face
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
At least we're working him
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
This is probabl te most boring at bat
I've ever seen.
Garces - April 13, 2008
You weren't watching us play Trachsel I take it
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
It did seem rather boring considering it was a full count with a runner on 3rd
Oh wells..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
We have more black ballgirls than we have black Mariners
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
1-0?
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Yuni is dark enough
To turn a couple guys to the other side.
...
Garces - April 13, 2008
That's true
Yuni makes 98% of Africa look like Anderson Cooper.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
God, that hair
So dreamy.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Aren't Yuni and Beltre black?
I can't really tell.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
African descent does not black make
Corco - April 13, 2008
What?
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
They're Afro-Hispanics. Blacks are African-Americans
Corco - April 13, 2008
Oh, I see.
You're insane.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Yeah, they're [arbitrary distinction], whereas
[arbitrary distinction]s are [arbirtrary distinction]s.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
win
Matthew - April 13, 2008
No they're those easy to control Latino players.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Fuck Raul.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
He can't hit lefties
So that was a good at-bat by his standards
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Fuck Squinty?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
*shrug*
I don't feel strongly about that at-bat one way or another.
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
That at bat looked like a hot streak ending.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Eh - it was Raul against a lefty..
He turns back in to Ra_l when that happens
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Ral?
Sounds like an Indian pop-star.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
You bitches don't need any more fries
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Blowers just making shit up now
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Those girls
Need rally salads, instead.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Tossed salads
Am I right guys?
thenatural - April 13, 2008
those people need rally celery
Matthew - April 13, 2008
We are one brain.
Garces - April 13, 2008
That an amazingly parallel group of comments there
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
honestly, it was a really obvious joke
Matthew - April 13, 2008
Sims talks about the Yankees a lot
marinator - April 13, 2008
Those girls have had more than enough Rally Fries
time for a Rally Treadmill
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
God damn I'm uncreative
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Rally Bypass?
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
I'm taking 5 hot girls to the
Corco - April 13, 2008
You need to finish that sentence
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
the ________?
I love that place.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Ran out of imagination points?
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
whoa, didn't post all the way
I'm taking 5 hot girls to the Red Sox series in July. Would this be a good time to get me some rally fries?
Corco - April 13, 2008
I'm taking 5 hot girls to the Red Sox series
in Late July.
Would this be a good time to acquire rally fries?
Corco - April 13, 2008
/sex
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
HEY, THOSE'RE HIS SISTERS
(so, yes, he IS from northern Idaho)
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
OR MAYBE HE'S INJURED YOU GLIB FUCKS
Matthew - April 13, 2008
Well, I'd do all of them
Corco - April 13, 2008
Yes, I'm sure Bedard's problem is that he doesn't like day games.
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
His hip is nocturnal
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Why oh why couldn't we sign a daywalker
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Oh wait Batista
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
So...he's a vampire?
A gimpy vampire?
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
VERY nice!
Garces - April 13, 2008
WOOO!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Successful pitchout! WOOOOOO!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
McLaren is now 1-37 on those I think
ack - April 13, 2008
He's no longer batting 1.000 =(
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Fire him!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Holy crap
I can't remember the last time a pitchout actually worked.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
PICKLE WOOO
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Howie "The Jet" Kendrick
is immune to pickles
Dukey - April 13, 2008
Outmanaged Scioscia!!
Schuxu - April 13, 2008
Walk boooo.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Alrighty let's just replace Kendrick at first
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
STOP BEING OPTIMISTIC
BEDARD IS DEAD
MFAN - April 13, 2008
He didn't know the Seattle streets well, being new in town
and got the "Mia Zapata" special.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
That hasn't stopped Ibanez.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Meh.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
What an Angels hit
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
good lord this is annoying
MFAN - April 13, 2008
How does this team
get so many hits off of poor swings?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Sheer volume
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Ever seen Angels in the Outfield?
Yeah. That's reality.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
This is the most Angelsy game ever
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Death by pussy singles?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
That sounds like a horrific disease.
Pussy Shingles
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
The Tigers are 2-10, we get it they were supposed to go 162-0
MFAN - April 13, 2008
If Mathis reaches base, I'm giong to start drinking
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
God Baek is more worried than normal.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Don't cry it's only two runs!
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
I don't understand how Baek gets swinging strikes ever
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Watchin Lincecum pitch to Pineiro is so pleasing.
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Joel is getting owned by San Francisco.
JI - April 13, 2008
/career
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
only $13m left on that contract!
JI - April 13, 2008
haha
Corco - April 13, 2008
Maybe he just felt sorry for them
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
WTF Yuni take control!
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Does Blowers ever sound enthused about anything?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Rally Fries
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
DING DING
Winner.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Wonder how Mrs. Blowers rates sex with Mike.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
That Sims's job exclusively
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
There is no more fake enthusiasm left after Simms gets through
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Well Sims is overenthusiastic about everything...
So I think its a nice balance
thenatural - April 13, 2008
He's just tired
I think he's addicted to quaaludes.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Yuni should have showed Cairo over and caught it
Also, why didn't they go with Morse at 3rd and Willie in right?
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Squinty.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Because that would have made sense
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
McLaren's allergic to logic
Nick S - April 13, 2008
And shell fish
Garces - April 13, 2008
That gives me an idea for a gift basket
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Isn't WFB hurt?
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Flu-like symptoms.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Hmm
Yeah, he might have the flu.
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
I never thought I'd look at the lineup and think to myself
"needs more Willie"
JI - April 13, 2008
Looked scary off the bat
Thank God we have Morse out there though!!!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
So Baek has done his job
Offense - no.
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
MIKE MORSE IS AN ALL STAR
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Good read by Morse
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
MOOOOOOOOOOORSE
UNNNNNNNNNNGH!
Garces - April 13, 2008
Kenji Johjima is going to hit a home run in this game
I'm batting 1.000 for the season on Kenji predictions, why stop now!?
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Yeah, and you're why he's sucking so bad
Cut it out already
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
I predict Kenji Johjima won't hit a home run today
better?
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Kenji Johjima is going to be Japanese in this game.
I can just feel it.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Hey Baek
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Intentional Nirvana quote?
JI - April 13, 2008
Yes
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
That
was...not a strike.
Garces - April 13, 2008
At least I have glorious, glorious beer to see me through the day
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Is Sherrill a FA this offseason?
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Nope, not for a while
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Looooooong time.
He was a super two, right? That's means he's under Orioles control until 2011, right?
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Something like that
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
wtf.
ANKLES ARE NOT PART OF THE STRIKE ZONE
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
They are if you don't have shins.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
So that's a strike when thrown to Cotton Hill?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Saunders pitches to righties like Green pitches to lefties
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Defense. Wins. Championships.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Yay Angels errors!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Sexson's swing is so ugly.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Cabrera
Wizard of the OC, not missing that guy.
marinator - April 13, 2008
Joel can DIAF.
JI - April 13, 2008
Great D!
thenatural - April 13, 2008
DWC
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Defense wins things wooo
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Richie's speed caused that error
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
And yet he somehow got an out on that Yuni hit up the middle
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Fuck.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Hey thanks Vidro..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Wow, have both runners EVER been out by so much on a GIDP?
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
That was classic
Garces - April 13, 2008
fuck you Vidro
MFAN - April 13, 2008
sweet
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Bonds
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Ibanez
ack - April 13, 2008
Bonds Bonds Bonds
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Barry Bonds.
See what I did there? It's kind of like the Bond, James Bond thing from a famous series of movies..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Yes I saw what you did there.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Anything to get my mind off of Morse, Cairo, Burke I guess..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
His OPS in 2004 was greater than Vidro's 2007 + 2008 OPS
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Way to take some pitches fuckface
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Morse funk blast right here
Nick S - April 13, 2008
We traded my favourite player for you you pointless sack of shit
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
We're really bad at hitting
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Richie's slide
reminded me of Willie Mays Hayes.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Come on Mike Morse!
Reach base so next inning won't be Cairo-Burke-Yuni
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Blowers' chuckle is unsettling
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I miss Ron Fairly.
I never thought I'd say that.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
I miss Rick Rizzs' eyebrows
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
At least Rick Rizs isn't on TV anymore.
Thank god for small miracles.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Hurry up and get out I need to pee
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
That's what you get for badmouthing Mike Morse.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
God dammit
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
keep saying that
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Thank god
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Morse!
MFAN - April 13, 2008
SQUEEZE BUNT SOMEHOW
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Yay Morse!
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Nice AB
Better catch.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Holy fuck Cairo has large ears
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
We call those "Jeter Handles"
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Fuck HGH.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Fuck HGH
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Are you guys part of a doublemint gum commercial?
iheartjavelinas - April 13, 2008
You saw through the scheme.. damn!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Cairo starting
elves everywhere celebrate
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Joke's on you, Matthews
he was trying to get out
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
oh snap
Corco - April 13, 2008
Damn you HGH
He tried to suck there, but then thought better of it
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Joel PIneiro v. SF:
3.2 IP, 8H, 6R, 0K, 1HR
This is an outstanding contract.
JI - April 13, 2008
Adjusted for legitimate opponent:
3.2 IP, 34H, 49R, 72 HR
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
That takes talent
Giving up home runs which take away runs from t he battinghb team?
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
My thoughts exactly.
JI - April 13, 2008
update
10 hits allowed
JI - April 13, 2008
Also, has anyone taken a look at the lineup that LaRussa ran out there today?
Schumaker
Miles
Ankiel
Ludwick
Duncan
Washington
Molina
Pineiro
Kennedy
Teej - April 13, 2008
that lineup made me weep
JI - April 13, 2008
It's still better than the Giants's
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
which makes me weep more
JI - April 13, 2008
Web Gem!
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
man, that Sonics commerical is bad
Matthew - April 13, 2008
Yea what the hell was that all about?
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Not like they're actually trying to appeal to Seattle fans anymore
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
What fans?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
WE thought we had a 65% chance of winning this game at one point
how cute
Matthew - April 13, 2008
Damn you Burke
and damn you taco bar
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
That was before the Bedard hip thing, right?
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
I have run out of beer.
This is why God invented gin
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
At least potatoes gets some no-pressure work in
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
I wonder if homeless man is a vet
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I still wonder if you actually watch these games, Jeff
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
I watch what I watch, you watch what you watch
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
maybe we could get him to put Figgens down
Nick S - April 13, 2008
He is
And when you deny him pocket change, he throws rocks at you and asks what the fuck you've ever done for your country.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
you're so fucking annoying Figgins
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Richie
flirting with Chone.
Garces - April 13, 2008
I would like to see a offsping with
Richie's power and tallness, with Figgins' ability to make contact, run, play not horrible defense and name spelling skills.
JI - April 13, 2008
Quit joking with the enemy, Benedict
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
But Benedict was a good guy
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Quit joking with the enemy, Zdeno Chara
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
:(
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
I'm gonna go out on a limb
and predict a ground ball to second
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Stop doing this.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Only if Baek stops elevating pitches..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Minor League Wrap-Up is posted below this Part 2 Game Thread
I have found that staying away from Mariner games on bad Mariner days has helped me, so I'll do that for now.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
God this AB is taking forever
phil333 - April 13, 2008
1st to 3rd's in their DNA
Fuck that gene.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Haha Sims is the man
Corco - April 13, 2008
Baek's eyebrows are in constant A frame
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
fuck you Cairo, Beltre catches that
MFAN - April 13, 2008
NASTY breaking ball..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Walk him!
Hey, fucking genius idea.
Garces - April 13, 2008
I ate a skunk spray jelly bean last night
Watching this game is much like that.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Heeyyyy walking Vlad with first open?
Thankkkkk you!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Jorge Campillo would accomplish this IBB with one pitch
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
man, GMJ is terrible
ack - April 13, 2008
Potatoes time!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Soft landing!
Not.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Uh, what?
He can't be done, can he?
Garces - April 13, 2008
That's about what I expected..
Some post in the first game thread sayin 4 or 5 innings - he hasnt thrown much and cannot possibly be stretched out enough to go deep in the game. That being said, He still looked like he had something left - but oh well
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I can't believe Baek couldn't get through five
He wasn't bad.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Although better to take him out too early
.... than too late. We can't afford to get far behind with this anemic lineup,
saltydog75 - April 13, 2008
I'm not complaining
it's just weird
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
No dead classmates to inspire him.
JI - April 13, 2008
It's alla bout the roles, Jeff.
It's a high leverage situation against a lefty! We need our situation lefty to pitch.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
*all about
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Well that was quick
phil333 - April 13, 2008
good job Baek
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Definitely
Garces - April 13, 2008
Joy, potatoes with the bases juiced
So much for no pressure
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Ghost runner on third?
Garces - April 13, 2008
Ah nevermind, listening on the radio
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Ghost runner = GMJ.
Think about it.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Not loaded.. 1st and 2nd
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
So...do I watch Potatoes blow this or do I play Super Metroid instead?
I've gotten to the point where I can do a perfect 100% item game in 1h20m.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
How do you blow a game you're losing?
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Blow it open, I suppose.
Good point.
But really, I just want to talk about how great Super Metroid still is.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
McLaren is my hero
I never thought such dumbasses could one day end up being so succesful, even if it is merely in title alone.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
Really we should be down by 1, not two
If Morse doesn't lay on his ass for a half an hour.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
There were two outs on that play
both runs would have scored
ack - April 13, 2008
Two words: Jamie Burke
Garces - April 13, 2008
Potatoes
Doesn't have the right mental makeup to pitch in the 5th with runners on first and second and two out.
This is a bad move.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Beltre...
Happybelly - April 13, 2008
Uh...were the runners going?
Why didn't Cairo try for the around-the-horn DP?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Because its Cairo
Fin - April 13, 2008
Niehaus asking the same question. He seemed to think Cairo had time.
But we shouldn't doubt Miguel's VETERAN INSTINCTS
esoteric - April 13, 2008
damn, nice effort Cairo
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Not a bad play by Cairo
But Beltre makes that with time to spare.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Nice arm you pussy
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Howie Kendrick scares me
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I threw harder than that
When I was six.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
SWINGING STRIKE ON THE FASTBALL YESSSSS
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
On HK no less
The professional hitter
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
Tag Figgins then throw out Anderson you idiot.
FIGGINS IS RUNNING TOWARDS YOU
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Didn't Beltre make that exact play two days ago?
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Don't question his veteran grit
It'll only hurt your head.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
Weeeeeeeee
Jesus.
Devin - April 13, 2008
Oh Mike Morse... Michael Morse...
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
FUCK YOU MORSE FUCK YOU!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Fuck you Morse.
Happybelly - April 13, 2008
More lovely Mike Morse defense
WAY TO GO!
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
OK, that was funny.
Garces - April 13, 2008
It's not as funny when you know it's coming ahead of time
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Omg Morse You Tool
phil333 - April 13, 2008
Yeah
Mike Morse is way better than Brad WIlkerson
Matthew - April 13, 2008
Oh wow
That was beauty in motion.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
holy christ Morse
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Jesus Christ
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Mike Morse just killed an entire litter of puppies.
JI - April 13, 2008
MIKE MORSE JESUS CHRIST
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Ahahahahahah
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Is Morse still better than Wilkerson?
dkulich - April 13, 2008
Can they suck equally?
Garces - April 13, 2008
It's not even fucking close, man
I don't even get the argument
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
No, because they don't
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
It's SUPER METROID TIME.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Now shut up about Mike Morse already.
He is bad.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
... what the fuck just happened
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
That was funny
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Dare I say it?
WFB would have had that?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
I would have caught that
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Richie Sexson would've had that
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Steven Hawking would have caught that
dkulich - April 13, 2008
No, it would bounce off him
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
He'd catch it if we put a cup in his mouth
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Unfair advantage.
He has a motorized wheel chair, for God's sake, motorized.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
I feel bad for Potatoes
he just got Morse'd in the A.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
That's not his ERA
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
But it's his perception
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Oh my God wwe're getting served by the Angels.
JI - April 13, 2008
Seriously.
I know that never gets ruled an error, but good lord it was misplayed.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Well there's the game.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Ugh this sucks
phil333 - April 13, 2008
so yeah, this game is over.
and EOF is going to get the blame for things not his fault. Ditto Baek.
Matthew - April 13, 2008
look what you've done Morse
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Quick, rub his nose in it, or he'll never learn.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Well, that was fun.
Pile on!
Devin - April 13, 2008
In all fairness, Mac was conceding this game with this lineup, right? Right?
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Right
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
So how many more outings until EOF gets optioned to work on things?
He just looks lost.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
it's hard to pitch w/o a defense.
Matthew - April 13, 2008
It's also hard to pitch when you're not good at pitching
Garces - April 13, 2008
that's true
but unrelated to EOF
Matthew - April 13, 2008
If he disagrees with us that means he's thinking for himself
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
You're a SHEEP!!!
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Wake up, sheeple.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
The stats told me you're wrong
The Eqa of this post is below average.
Garces - April 13, 2008
But above replacement
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
His pythag sucks
Garces - April 13, 2008
You can't use pythag to project the future
wait what are we talking about?
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I'm not sure
But I graphed it and it has a downward projection.
Yeah, I failed math.
Garces - April 13, 2008
I have a pythag?
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Below average doesn't mean bad
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
But maybe if we option him, he'll work on having better defense behind him
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Yes, inducing a double play ground and a weak flyout before giving up a line drive
Such terrible pitching
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Potatoes has been good.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Po-tat-oes!
Here comes the dinger.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Bring in the long relief!
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
The long relief started.
Schuxu - April 13, 2008
"O'Flaherty with another bad outing"
Open your fucking eyes Sims.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I was thinking the same thing man
What you said, not what sims said.
Fin - April 13, 2008
he is opening his eyes
that's the scary thing.
saltydog75 - April 13, 2008
Wow, this game is really unfun
esoteric - April 13, 2008
The Mariners Motto this year is "Two outs, so what?"
Unfortunately, it's for when they're on defense.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Four outs, So What?
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Nice.
Teej - April 13, 2008
Today is a dark day in Marinerdom
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
So yeah, fuck Morse and Cairo.
Happybelly - April 13, 2008
That's what Bavasi/Mac get
For not understanding defense.
phil333 - April 13, 2008
Eh
Cairo made a pretty decent effort on that play.
Garces - April 13, 2008
No.
He should have tagged the runner, then threw to first.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
His effort was okay but his ability is not
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Can't ask for anything more
It's not his fault that he's out there.
Garces - April 13, 2008
I know
>:(
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Yes it is
He could open a car wash or something, work on his golf.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
The Cairo Car Wash
I'd go!
Garces - April 13, 2008
WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PITCH THE LAST FOUR INNINGS
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Green until his arm explodes
Nick S - April 13, 2008
So do people here think that O'face is bad
or is it just the casual fans?
Fin - April 13, 2008
He's fine
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Just extraordinarily unlucky.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
K
I just talk to my friends who don't read on blogs, and all of them seem convinced O;'Flaherty sucks based on his unfortunate outings in baltimore.
Fin - April 13, 2008
Everybody sucked in Baltimore. And I do mean everybody.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
I'm not too worried
This one guy is the same guy who thinks that they should call up arthur rhodes, so I would easily not take what he has to say to heart.
Fin - April 13, 2008
Hopefully just the casual fans.
Without a doubt he's struggling right now, but innings like this? He did what he was asked and got boned by the defense twice in a row.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Goddamn casual fans!
Ruining everything and fucking your girlfriends!
Garces - April 13, 2008
They're fine unless they try to talk to me
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Casual fans steal my newspaper
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Casual fans steal my "casual fit" button-fly jeans.
It's getting fucking annoying.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Yuni, thank you!
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Wow!
Heads up play by yuni!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Well at least the defense did -something- right that inning.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
whoopdie fucking do
JI - April 13, 2008
whew
that was close.
ok boys let's learn to hit.
phil333 - April 13, 2008
Wladdy time!
Garces - April 13, 2008
The way the lineup is performing
No victory for Bedard either
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
True
I mean, Morse blew it, but it's hard to win with 0 runs.
Garces - April 13, 2008
YUNI!!
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Hahaha
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Yuni I love you
Nick S - April 13, 2008
I think he was safe.
hcoguy - April 13, 2008
I do too
Garces - April 13, 2008
See, if we had Dickey this game would still be fun to watch
Instead its painful
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
NOOO NOT POTATOES.
IcebreakerX - April 13, 2008
Would we have had the same retarded lineup with Bedard pitching?
Or did Mac decide to give up after Bedard got hurt?
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
That's what I was wondering too
I can see both sides of the argument I guess
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Well Morse 1-2 with a K is about what yo expect from Wilk
And a BB and a line drive from Cairo
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
You could argue that if we had Wilk out there
it would be 0-0, although I don't know if he catches either of the balls Morse missed...
ack - April 13, 2008
Uhh, he easily catches the second one
The first is debatable, but no starting OF in the league fucks up that second play like Morse did.
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
yeah i missed the live play
all I saw was a replay of Morse getting turned around like an idiot
ack - April 13, 2008
I imagine Beltre might have played
But Burkes pretty standard for a sunday afternoon game, and Morse is who they're going to against lefties...
thenatural - April 13, 2008
This is one of those must respond innings..
At least get something going offense!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
This is what happen when you keep leaving the bases loaded
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
This is me getting my hopes up
thenatural - April 13, 2008
The Royals are going to anhilate us
Especially Guillen
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Remember how we thought he'd annihilate the Angels?
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
[Washburn + Batista]
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Those were happier times
But hey, we won the series!
Garces - April 13, 2008
You never know, maybe we'll get lucky and he'll stab Mac
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
He hit a homer...
and got into a brawl with Steroid McSteroid (Donnelly) who was playing for the Red Sox at the time... does that count?
dkulich - April 13, 2008
You have a different definition of "brawl" than I
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
In the same fashion you annihilated the word 'annihilate'?
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
If Ichiro doesn't reach, I quit and am playing xbox
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
Peace out
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Okay I'll check back in an hour
seattlebruin - April 13, 2008
I think it's time for more Six Feet Under, myself
Garces - April 13, 2008
Real men watch Dexter
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Unless it's on CBS
To hell with that bullshit.
Jordan of Boise - April 13, 2008
Real men
watch the UK version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Okay, Dexter too.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
That's a damn fine show.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I'm in Season 5 right now
iheartjavelinas - April 13, 2008
I thought you're a real fan.
Fin - April 13, 2008
Call Of Duty 4 is beginning to beckon..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Been there... done that...
But my 2k8 Mariners hit about as well as the real ones. And Bonds won't sign with me :(
dkulich - April 13, 2008
The annoying thing is when Ichiro retires after the 2009 season..
It has happened to me 3 times now.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Oh wow...
That's really dumb
dkulich - April 13, 2008
Yes.. Beware.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I can't get around that either.
I had to convert one of my prized shortstop prospects to CF.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
That and Yuni wanted WAY too much after the 2009 season so I had to call up Triunfel
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I am playing Super Mario RPG now as I listen on my computer
Fuck yeah.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Grrrrrrr
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
M's on the other end of BABIPness tonight
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Saunders has one strikeout
man the current incarnation of their rotation is bad.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Felix/Silva/Washburn/Tits/Baek.
I miss Jeff Weaver
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
At least we have Felix
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Needs more Dickey
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Silva, Washburn and Tits are functional
If Baek sucks, we can replace him with Dickey.
What the Angels have is the best they can come up with right now.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
OK I'm waking up in less than 8 hours
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
(so bye)
Graham MacAree - April 13, 2008
Peace out.
Fin - April 13, 2008
Welcome to my life
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
If I keep saying Saunders has a no-hitter even when he doesn't
Will that make him give up a hit?
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
39 strikes, 37 balls for Saunders
what a gem
MFAN - April 13, 2008
I was gonna ask about that
He seems to be throwing an inordinate amount of balls to be having such a good (on the face) game
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Hey, I just got here and started watching the game
Can someone summarize what's happened? Did Baek simply blow up or was he just unlucky?
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Him and O'Face
Fin - April 13, 2008
It was Morse's fault.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Not really Baek's fault
Costly defensive mistakes mostly
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Mike Morse can't play defense and Vlad Guerrero is good
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
It turns out Morse and Cairo suck.
Who knew?
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Thanks guys.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
That looked much better hit
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Some of us idiots...
need to come to our own conclusions and accept that Mike Morse is good.
Above average at playing the defense even.
PLU Tim - April 13, 2008
you jinxed him! you ass
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
Morse is useful
I'm confused at those who give him the Bloomquist treatment.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
You're wrong
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
This would make Tim wrong as well
I'm guessing you went after me instead of him because you consider me an easier target.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
No, I went after you because Tim was joking.
Stop picking battles for no reason.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Okay, sarcasm meter was broken
I didn't know Tim was joking. It makes sense.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
I thought that was gone as well
Sidenote: i was in the wrong thread for the last3 inning or so, stupid me
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
Ahahahah
OK, I concede.
Garces - April 13, 2008
WOOOO MORSE HURT!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
WLAD WLAD WLAD WLAD WLAD
Garces - April 13, 2008
More like WIlkerson everyday and Jimerson returns
Gomez - April 13, 2008
This is so awesome.
JI - April 13, 2008
I hate to cheer an injury
but, good.
saltydog75 - April 13, 2008
Man, Morse, GTFO of the MLB
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
Uh oh Morse hurt!
False Alarm!
Fin - April 13, 2008
Fuckn Morse
Hurts himself AND get hurt.
phil333 - April 13, 2008
Huh?
Garces - April 13, 2008
He's hurt!
We just got better.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
aw dammit
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
No hurt enough. =(
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
*Not
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Usually we need to be admonished not to cheer for the injuries of OTHER team's players
And now we're cheering for an injury to our own guy.
How far we've fallen, and how fast.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
It was in jest
Gomez - April 13, 2008
Oh I know.
And I'm not gonna lie: I was hoping he was hurt too. Just put Wilkerson in for fuck's sake.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Mike Morse really needs to get out of the field.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Morse in RF is Sad Panda
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
BRING IN BRAD
MFAN - April 13, 2008
ahahahahahahahahahaa
Nick S - April 13, 2008
So Ibanez D > Morse D???? WOW...just wow.
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
NO! GO BACK OUT THERE GRIFFIN! GO!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Wow Morse has had a day
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
A typical* day
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
there ya go
Morse to the DL
Call up Wlad
MfaninAlaska - April 13, 2008
ANd he's staying in
God
phil333 - April 13, 2008
GIVE
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Wow Morse is bad.
This is why Ichiro doesn't dive. You get there faster running anyway.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
ME
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
WLAD
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
Ummm so stop diving?
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
Corner OF defense
how 'bout a hand
saltydog75 - April 13, 2008
Wow.
Good D. (Sarcasm)
Fin - April 13, 2008
I think we could've picked up on it w/o "(Sarcasm)". Ha ha.
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Alright.
I have to remember everyone here is pretty smart.
Fin - April 13, 2008
Oh dear God this OF defense is comical
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Raul almost lost thatone, haha
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
FETA
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Our outfield defense
Is as awesome as our offense.
Garces - April 13, 2008
HAHAHA
thenatural - April 13, 2008
We look like a bunch of drunken midgets out there.
JI - April 13, 2008
...and that just gave me an idea for a new theme night.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Jesus Christ
DEFENSE! Mac fix this fucking team please.
phil333 - April 13, 2008
That's asking too much by several orders of magnitude
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
He's not going to quit
Gomez - April 13, 2008
HAHAHA
The worst outfielders
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
Raul says
anything you can do I can do just as sucky
Nick S - April 13, 2008
except hit
vkut79 - April 13, 2008
So... what's up with EOF
he have some kind of injury we're unaware of?
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
EOF isn't doing anything wrong
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I'm not sure I agree with you.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Okay so he's doing some things wrong
but he's deserved much better today.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
hes looked fairly bad all year to me...
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
He's been fine.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Yeah, clearly.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Yeah.
Mike Morse.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
An acute case of shittyoutfielderitis
Nick S - April 13, 2008
An acute case of line drives
But yeah, that hasn't helped.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Potatoes is fine.
His defense is killing him.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
A case of denfensive suckitis
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Slow start
which is being compounded by playing a bigger role in the pen than he's suited for.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
ahahahahaha weeeeeeeeeeeee
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
How's Baker going to justify the defense today?
Blame all goes to Potatoes again, right?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Yeah, fuck that asshole!
Garces - April 13, 2008
Why do you care so much about Baker?
if you hate his opinions quit reading his stuff......
MfaninAlaska - April 13, 2008
I did at the end of last season and I haven't regretted it for a second
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Yeah
He's just a fishwrap blogger, not a demigod of any sort.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
Hate to break it to you, but
O'Flaherty hasn't been that sharp either. It's a combination of bad pitching and shitty defense that has sunk him.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Today, that is. I'm not saying he sucks overall.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Hunger strike
Until Wlad is called up.
Garces - April 13, 2008
This is pretty disgusting.
And very, very funny.
Teej - April 13, 2008
I never understood that
Why there is an NHL team in south florida and not seattle.
Fin - April 13, 2008
2 in Florida for some reason
nobody gives a shit about the Panthers anyway
Nick S - April 13, 2008
This game has sucked, but I have a small sliver of hope
that this will somehow make Mac and Co. realize that Morse should not play the outfield.
ack - April 13, 2008
Yeah, right.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
I think its possible
The ball has really found him out there today, highlighting his craptastic defense. But yeah, Mac probably can't even see past the infield so not like he noticed
ack - April 13, 2008
Ha ha ha. Funny joke.
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Blowers doesn't get hockey at all
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
This game = no longer worth watching
See ya.
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
C'mon people, it's not Morse's fault.
This is wholly Squinty McClusterfuck's fault for playing him.
Also, why the fuck do people want Wlad called up? The man needs a regular job to work out the chinks in his game. Sitting his ass on the bench in Seattle won't help him much at all.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Haha
You said 'chinks'
Garces - April 13, 2008
This place needs more sensitive Asians
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
My girlfriend is a sensitive asian
But probably not in the way you mean
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
taDOW!
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
God
This defense makes me want to find my leftover vicoden and use a bottle of vodka to wash them down.
joof - April 13, 2008
Lincecum pulled
6 IP, 1 BB, 11 K
And I'm done with this game.
Fett42 - April 13, 2008
To think...
the M's could have him AND Adam Jones.....
PLU Tim - April 13, 2008
poor EOF, STOP BOOING HIM
MFAN - April 13, 2008
The casual fans!
Damn the casual fans!
Fin - April 13, 2008
Not like he's even finishing his pitches well.
IMO.
IcebreakerX - April 13, 2008
Let the real fans at the game do what they want!
They're paying for our players
dkulich - April 13, 2008
They boo failure
If they're gonna boo Richie when he doesn't perform, they're gonna boo the pitcher if he doesn't perform, no matter who it is.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
retards need to stop booing o'flaherty
Nick S - April 13, 2008
But he's giving up hits and runs and stuff.
It's all his fault
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Okay, Potatoes really HAS lost it right now.
There's no excuse for not letting Gary Matthews get himself out.
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Holy fuck, this is a massacre.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
That wasn't Potatoes' fault either
Someone should have been playing behind the bag, clearly.
Garces - April 13, 2008
We get it, you don't like Potatoes.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Why bother with the games?
Just read the blogs and have your opinions made for you!
Garces - April 13, 2008
That was a ground-ball with the infield up.
Exactly what he wanted to have happen.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Honestly
I don't want to sound like I'm defending EOF with every breath, but that was just a groundball. As meltdowns go, this is a pretty unlucky one for him.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Dude seriously...
Did your wife leave you today or something?
dkulich - April 13, 2008
He's backtracking from his endless ridiculous defense of Morse
and parlaying it into a subjective hatred of Potatoes.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
And people who read blogs.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I get my opinions from Jim Armstrong
thenatural - April 13, 2008
I've got a feeling this is the last game we'll see Potatoes for a while.
Hello waiver-wire gascan.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
or Dickey?
Fin - April 13, 2008
I highly doubt it.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Or Sean Green until his arm explodes
Gomez - April 13, 2008
wuts up guyz im st3v3 kl1n3
JI - April 13, 2008
Did we have the infield in there?
For the love of God, why?
ack - April 13, 2008
You really thnk they would have gotten to that?
Garces - April 13, 2008
If the infield is at normal depth, yes.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
You're high.
Garces - April 13, 2008
it wasn't hit that hard, they might have at least kept in the infield
but that's not the point. Down 5-0, Yuni and Lopez should have been at DP depth. Not that any of this matters
ack - April 13, 2008
It was straight up the middle
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
quit forming his opinion for him
JI - April 13, 2008
Watched the replay, you're right.
Still wasn't indicative of a bad performance though. More bad luck.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Right
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Squinty.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Some bad luck right there.
Teej - April 13, 2008
ground ball of the glove = base hit
poor EOF, he's getting the Shaun Alexander treatment.
MFAN - April 13, 2008
But isn't Shaun not that good
I'm not as educated on football.
Fin - April 13, 2008
yeah, Shaun is awful
MFAN - April 13, 2008
After the speed left him, his cutback style failed to work.
Get ball, cutback, dropped for a loss of six.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
You forgot the part where he lays down first
Garces - April 13, 2008
Shaun Alexander does suck though.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
I'm with you there
Still love the guy, though.
Garces - April 13, 2008
That analogy doesn't work
Shaun Alexander genuinely does suck now.
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
I'm seriously afraid O'Flaherty is going to come off the field, head to the locker, and weep like a baby
esoteric - April 13, 2008
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
What's with the booing?
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Mariner fans trying to show
they aren't just sheep that follow what the scoreboard says????
MfaninAlaska - April 13, 2008
People are upset they skipped church to watch this offense
Garces - April 13, 2008
Wrong, nobody's ever upset they skipped church.
Liebkartoffel - April 13, 2008
Amen to that.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
They paid to see Bedard.
And instead they got this. I'm booing at home. Not at EOF, just at the whole spectacle.
Teej - April 13, 2008
Fuck this shit.
hcoguy - April 13, 2008
So can we call EOF's start to the season "The Potato Famine"?
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Yes
Unfortunately I've yet to find any good famine pictures.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
I humbly offer this
http://www.lostwackys.com/wacky-packages/lost-wackys/1990s/mr-potato.htm
Nick S - April 13, 2008
How about this:
http://www.dovate.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/vultureJPEG.jpg
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Not a potato famine
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
True, but that's how this team makes me feel
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Young?
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Hopeful
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Eh
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
This AB with Vlad is NOT going to end well.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
aaaaaaaaaaaaaugh
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Crowd cheers!
dkulich - April 13, 2008
That was unexpected
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
He's decided to let the defense out of this
dkulich - April 13, 2008
Just put Yuni, Ichiro, and Lopez out there
Fuck the corner OF.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Finally.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Whatever happened to the Hargrove decision tracker?
There would be so much more material for the McLaren equivalent
ack - April 13, 2008
You know what's awesome?
Not this.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
8 run-rally capped by a 530 foot grand slam by Cairo
I feel it in my bones.
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
Your bones are clearly hammered
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
That was the least spectacular bad inning in a long time
Singled to death.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Just like that disaster start from Jeff Weaver against the Royals
Gomez - April 13, 2008
That set my liver back 15 years.
JI - April 13, 2008
I left that game after about the 6th
I found a nearby bar and drank heavily.
Gomez - April 13, 2008
in the good news department
EOF just lowered his ERA by about 10
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Nah, it went from like 20 to 19.
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Great outing!
O'Flaherty lowered his ERA one WHOLE point!
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Slopez!!!!
CapSea - April 13, 2008
sammy - April 13, 2008
?
redwolf75 - April 13, 2008
Baked potato
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
So that's the problem!
Potatoes is baked! He'd be doing better if he laid off the herbage.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Just need nine more of those
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Hey, we can get those hits, too.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Wait, that's not right... what's his new nickname?
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Good start = crappy bounce off homeplate infield single
dkulich - April 13, 2008
Loafy!
Now I remember.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Somehow
if Richie homered here, a 7-2 deficit would seem more depressingly insurmountable than 7-0.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
7-0 is hilariously awful.
7-2 is just depressing.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Sexson is often both.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
But he drinks beer and is a nice guy!
Lay off will you!
dkulich - April 13, 2008
I literally just told my friend that..
I don't want a HR here, just a bunch of hits..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
BB
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Time for another Vidro DP?
Greg Norton on deck for Morse!!!!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Joe Saunders isn't good
it'll be awesome when baseball realizes this.
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Woooo no more Morse!
DL DL DL DL DL DL!
BrianL - April 13, 2008
AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA!
sammy - April 13, 2008
DFA?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
DFA DFA DFA DFA DFA DFA DFA
JI - April 13, 2008
11 walks for Richie already?
thenatural - April 13, 2008
JoVi...
Get on this.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
AND HERE COME THE MARINERS!
JI - April 13, 2008
Just in time to hit into a DP.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Greg Norton has a chance to make one hell of a Mariner debut here
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
By grounding into a double play right?
Because that's what Mariners do...
dkulich - April 13, 2008
dammit slopez
i woulda made it home...
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
Well, I'm all caught up. :(
ThundaPC - April 13, 2008
Norton: .637 career OPS vs. lefties
ahahaha
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
sweet tits!
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Take that!
dkulich - April 13, 2008
Huh...
I hate it when this team gets my hopes up.
CapSea - April 13, 2008
I agree with this statement
BUT WOOOOO NORTON!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Norton!
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Greg Norton, alright!
ThundaPC - April 13, 2008
NORTON!!!!!!
ThundaPC - April 13, 2008
wooooooooooooooooo false hope
JI - April 13, 2008
Well that was quick
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
NORTON!!!
CapSea - April 13, 2008
Hey look shutout over.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Woooo!
Jimenez'd!
Garces - April 13, 2008
Yay...a bench player who isn't worthless!
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Holy crap
You just blew my mind. What is this concept?
joof - April 13, 2008
Shut up Blowers.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
oh yeah Cairo
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Inning over.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
PH KA NEVER GIVE UP HOPE
JI - April 13, 2008
Atta boy.
Teej - April 13, 2008
Thank God
no SO
thenatural - April 13, 2008
What's up with every announcer in the world having a massive hard-on for veterans?
JI - April 13, 2008
They all lost their jobs to younger guys, and they're pissy about it.
Teej - April 13, 2008
all analysts
were, at one point, veterans themselves... and usually mediocre ones.
sammy - April 13, 2008
They know how to pronounce their names.
hcoguy - April 13, 2008
pinch hit here, gotta pinch hit here, right?
ack - April 13, 2008
How bad is Beltre's hammy?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
BEEN THROUGH WARS
dkulich - April 13, 2008
nice honeymooners reference Sims
you're so damn white.
MFAN - April 13, 2008
holy shit we're allowed to score too
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo EGYPT!!!
CapSea - April 13, 2008
GREG NORTON
Corco - April 13, 2008
Beltre?
Kevman22 - April 13, 2008
Norton > Morse
hcoguy - April 13, 2008
I hate to be optimistic
But...we just broke into the Angels bullpen.
This thing is a flying piece of melted shit.
We aren't COMPLETELY dead yet
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
you forget
its facing the mariner offense
MfaninAlaska - April 13, 2008
Unfortunately Speier is good, Cairo is not
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Brian Bocock has a higher OBP than Ichiro
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
That's depressing.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
That deserves another beer
cwel87 - April 13, 2008
Ichiro has not yet faced Joel Pineiro.
JI - April 13, 2008
good job Saunders
that's what you get for walking 3, striking out 1 and throwing a 1:1 strike to ball ratio.
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Can we just hope Cairo walks?
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Prepare to have your hopes crushed.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Hmm
Cairo looks like Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan.
joof - April 13, 2008
Stop swinging at balls, you ass.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
good time to PH Wilk
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Thats what I was thinking
Mac is saving him though, apparently
ack - April 13, 2008
Really, why isn't Wilk hitting here?
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Who plays third?
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Greg Norton
or Willie Sauce
Corco - April 13, 2008
Willie?
ack - April 13, 2008
Nevermind.
I thought Norton was one of those 1B/3B guys.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Ballgame
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
I believe he's sick
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Burke can play 3rd
Johjima can catch
Corco - April 13, 2008
in which case just PH Johjima
Corco - April 13, 2008
This is theoretically true.
Norton used to be a 3B.
JI - April 13, 2008
I'd put Norton at third
Burke has extensive experience at 3rd in AAA
Corco - April 13, 2008
Did McLaren give him VD?
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
Oh. I was wondering why Cairo was getting the start over him
when we supposedly acquired Cairo so we could use Willie more.
ack - April 13, 2008
Willy, maybe?
Teej - April 13, 2008
hopefully our hitters will be in'spier'ed
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Here's to hoping the angel's defense mimics the M's
Kevman22 - April 13, 2008
So...
wh's cairo batting still?
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
wh = why?
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
LEAN IN TO THAT CAIRO!!!!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
WALK INTO THAT
JI - April 13, 2008
Lean into that!!! Get hit
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
That's not good to see, Dave.
BrianL - April 13, 2008
Sims: "John Mclaren and the Ms have a little bit of a hill to climb"
sammy - April 13, 2008
K2 is a hill
Nick S - April 13, 2008
I'm surprised it's this close considering Baek+abortic lineup
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
FUCK he was safe.
Garces - April 13, 2008
FUCK I am blind.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Imagine...
The day we're hoping Bloomquist would play, as opposed to his older Latino brother...
IcebreakerX - April 13, 2008
CAIRO IS GRITTY RBI CAIRO VETERAN
Corco - April 13, 2008
only white people can be gritty
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
CAIRO IS WHITE AT HEART
Corco - April 13, 2008
OOOOO didn't think he was gonna get him
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
What's good about that?
thenatural - April 13, 2008
3 singles and a walk equals
A MOTHERFUCKING RUN
/late
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
Cairo can't the hit ball out of the infield?
JI - April 13, 2008
Come on,
The guy's got 10 years of veteran experience... Give him a break.
thenatural - April 13, 2008
I still smile when that face is posted..
Just epic.
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
I would like another one of those funk wild pitches..
Those are fun
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
These foul lines are robbing Jamie Burke of potential awesome
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
shit
JI - April 13, 2008
5.88 bullpen ERA
Ugh.
Garces - April 13, 2008
Worse than Detroit?
Jesus
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Thanks, EOF.
ThundaPC - April 13, 2008
Thanks
Outfield Defense
joof - April 13, 2008
EOF = Errors by OutFielders
Nick S - April 13, 2008
Thanks, Blants
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Cmon.... walk him!
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Also, the 5th and 6th runs scoring
were a result of the worst OF defense ever.
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
Fuck
Kevman22 - April 13, 2008
Runs like a catcher.
Oh well
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
Jason Kendall
and russell martin disagree
LantermanC - April 13, 2008
Well..
Shit
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
lame
Nick S - April 13, 2008
If Cairo were 2% faster and the field were 2% wider...
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
and if he sucked 98% less...
JI - April 13, 2008
And our front office were 100% smarter
dkulich - April 13, 2008
100 X 0 is still 0..
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Could the Angels bullpen be bad enough to blow a 5 run lead?
Possibly, on a day when Morse and Cairo weren't in the lineup.
OlSalty - April 13, 2008
More evidence that errors are retarded
The M's have 0.
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
That's just evidence that offical scorekeepers are retarded.
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Beltre needs to have a Gibson-esque PH appearance.
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
That fan handed Burke's foul double to an Angels fan
these are our fans.
Matthew - April 13, 2008
My hamstring is a little sore
I can't blog today coach
Jeff Sullivan - April 13, 2008
Speaking of which...Howie...
SethGrandpa - April 13, 2008
Interesting timing..
As Kendrick pulls up lame with a hammy problem
seattlesundevil - April 13, 2008
Norton in right??
just when you think the Defense can't get any worse....
MFAN - April 13, 2008
Is Norton worse than Morse?
I didn't think that was possible
ack - April 13, 2008
He can't dive and miss at anymore flyballs at least.
Mariner John - April 13, 2008
well, there's some good news
Matthew - April 13, 2008
At least this slideshow of the 50 best british boobs will cheer me up.
Smegmalicious - April 13, 2008
This game's already been punted.
A win here would've been gravy.
Ohh....Kendrick's down again.
ThundaPC - April 13, 2008
Kendrick hurt!
thenatural - April 13, 2008
Bye bye howei
Schuxu - April 13, 2008
