With the trade deadline at the forefront of everyone's mind, you have as much interest in reading about this game as I have in writing about it. And so, for the next 16 hours or so, the focus shifts to the roster, rather than the roster's results. Join me on this midsummer voyage of chicanery and cunning as we set sail for the future.

I completely forgot this game.
Like, every single detail.
Aaron Campeau - July 30, 2008
So did I.
And i watched it the whole way through.
RafaelCarmona22 - July 30, 2008
Get in line.
This recap is a total cop-out.
Jeff Sullivan - July 30, 2008
That last sentence is great, though.
Aaron Campeau - July 30, 2008
I remember dirt and Dave Niehaus yelling about it
Gomez - July 30, 2008
Also, I just realized that POTATOES! could be back real soon!
RafaelCarmona22 - July 30, 2008
Hopefully it will be 2007 Potatoes, rather than 2008 Potatoes.
Fin - July 30, 2008
Potatoes is still recovering from an injury in Tacoma
Gomez - July 30, 2008
crap
RafaelCarmona22 - July 31, 2008
I can't tell if the result of having Arthur Rhodes on the roster this year
was smart, or just lucky.
Fin - July 30, 2008
I'll say lucky.

Hmmm It's rare that I miss a game whether on TV, live, or radio. But I missed tonight's. Looks like I didn't miss much.
I was in Tacoma cheering Hyphen on…glad I DIDN’T miss that…he was awesome!!!
Smith18 - July 31, 2008
We have quite a few trade pieces...
Surely Lee will find something for them. Right….right!?
ThundaPC - July 31, 2008
I have never been pleased with a trade deadline
The only exceptions were 2005 and 2004. ‘98 doesn’t count because I was 7.

Biggest Suckfest: Paul Nauert
...Ball 4 to Byrd was Strike 3….WHOOOPS!

You know what's better than this? Fucking water. Like four glasses of it. Fuck.
BrettJMiller - July 31, 2008
I just remembered yesterday that Erik Bedard plays for our team.
I was reminded while watching Adam Jones highlights on SportsCenter.

I read that last sentence as:
“Join me on this midsummer voyage of chicanery and cunning as we set sail for the failure.”
Goose - July 31, 2008
Set fail for the future!
Gomez - July 31, 2008
I enjoy chicanery.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 31, 2008
Yeah, it's good
but I’ve always been something of a thaumaturgy man, myself. Mix in some legerdemain, some subterfuge, maybe a hint of a feint? That’s living.
