Cha Seung Baek was just DFA’d.

at last

our crushing offensive problems at 1B and DH are solved!

wait.

Why?? He pitched well today
Honestly, I didn't see that coming

DIckey up, I’m assuming?

I predict whoever picks him up will use him as a starter

and he will shut us out the first time he faces us.

At least everyone he hate sucked.
Hahaha I love the quote.

So I guess Johjima isn’t the reason you suck, Wash. The reason you suck is because you fucking suck(asterisk)

(asterisk)Could be the 85 mph meatball, too

Mariners media questions for McLaren

Nothing mentioned about catcher compatability.
Someone mentioned how well Baek did for the team.
Nobody followed up with “why was he DFA’d then?”

It's kind of a typical Mariners decision.

Makes no sense. Similar case to that of Norton. Guy plays well, gets DFA’d…

Ooh... Washburn comments coming up

update us on what he says
Washburn is delusional.

But didn’t say anything of substance.

So nothing new, then.
Nope.

Didn’t blame anybody, at least. Seemed to be bewildered that his “good stuff” was being hit. Nobody asked him about Johjima vs Burke.

Said he wanted to stay in and eat innings, at the very least. McLaren said no.

Said he watched some video and the Tigers were hitting balls, not strikes. Judging by the Gameday shots up on USSM, that’s partially true, but partially false.

Said that all the pitchers are going through a streaky bad phase.

In other words, still not admitting he sucks, but at least he’s not throwing around the blame.

An 85-87 MPH fastball is hittable even on the inside corner.
Like I said

He’s delusional.

Chris Young just took a Pujols line drive to the face.
wow.
I'm pretty sure he's alive.
I figured it couldnt be that bad
I dunno, that's the one thing in baseball that could seriously kill a guy.
I was at the infamous Soriano game in 06.

I thought I was going to throw up after that liner hit him.

Jesus Christ

How bad is it?

Not as bad as you might think

but it’s not good

They didn't have to carry him off on a stretcher.
As long as it isn't Brice Florey bad.

Just tuned in, lordy Pujols looks horrified.

...and a smooth transisition into the pastor Mike pepsi commercial.
Jake Peavy's out with a bad elbow

Chris Young isn’t that subtle

worst team in the majors with those two injured?
Depends on severity
Check back later.
Just watched the replay a few times.

Looks like he got it right on the bridge of the nose. There was blood coming out . . . not crazy bad, but I imagine a DL stint is likely.

They'll have to wait to see if he has a concussion or some other complication.
Lol I imagine there would be some blood.

haaaaaaaa

Washburn evaded about four line drives today.
I have him first in the death pool.
Holy crap NL West teams - except Arizona of course - suck
And Arizona is just mediocre on the road.
They are such an awesome team
They're not being awesome right now.
It'll come.
Awesome to watch

They have so much great young talent. Lots of speed, contact.

Contact? What team are you watching?

They strike out like it’s going out of style.

Okay I totally take that back, I know pretty much nothing

I’ve watched parts of two games, and I don’t remember seeing a lot of Ks. So I really know very little.

Now Pujols severely injures Bard.

Motherfucker doesn’t fuck around.

Vasgerian

“That’s not the way the human leg is supposed to go.”

He's out to win a pennant by himself.

Though he should probably worry about teams other than the Padres first.

I like this one for two reasons

1) That’s what my handwriting would look like if I were 6 years old.
2) I found the lone black man in St. Louis.

That's what my handwriting looks like now

on a good day

Good lord, you serious?

I need to be watching this game.

Pujols' WPA for that inning has to be

something like 3.405

Over/under on when the Mariners take down the "Mojo Risin' " logo from the website

30 days.

I don't see why they would take it down

It’s just their season motto, and all of their commercials have it.

Although they should take it down, because it is awful
Yeah, I just figure it's going to be embarrassing when July rolls around and they're 17 games out.
Well by that point it's embarassing enough as it is, motto or no motto
Great Futurama reference!
Futurama?

That was straight up classic Simpsons.

Damnit.

There’s a very similar Futurama quote when Farnsworth and Hermes’ kids get a hold of the machine that can make anyone sound like the professor.

The episode is The Route of All Evil. But yes, I suck.

You can always tell.

Simpsons = butt
Futurama = ass

Easy.

Who

is the monster?

Good to know that Mel Stottlemyre is on top of the situation (and not delusional, say)
“We need to get a good outing [from Miguel Batista] tomorrow. He needs to give us innings. We’re one good start from going on a good streak. I really believe that.”
And I'm one good fan letter from dating Jessica Alba

I really believe that.

She's damaged goods.

You don’t want that shit.

Plus, she has herpes.

Washburn's next scheduled outing is on the 26th vs. Boston

I know that rooting for the Red Sox is generally non grata round here but I for one would love to see them pound that fucker until his arm falls off.

Give the bullpen the day off and hang Wash out to dry, pitch counts be damned.

Washburn is doomed.

John Hickey article written before yesterday’s Detroit game:

Tough 4 starts ahead for Washburn
(Lefty to face Tigers, Red Sox twice each after 9-day hiatus)

He's gonna get Sele'd
I only wish it were in Fenway.

Bad lefties in Fenway is always entertaining.

I had a burger and a Hale's at De Luxe

came home at 8, passed right out and didn’t wake up until 6 this morning.

Apparently, it’s a good thing I did.
