At least none of those screaming line drives hit his gorgeous face.

I didn't watch the game so I'm not too bitter that I wasted a little piece of my life (again..)
but why do you bring Batista in when you need a strike out. I’ll concede that a walk doesn’t really hurt you too badly but what quality does he possess that makes him a good fit for this situation. All I can think of is that he’s old and has an arm. Most baseball fans also possess these traits. Just retire and end the pain. Preferable a forced retirement just so that somebody says “Fuck you. You suck. Get your ass off my team.”

Stone just posted on Baker's blog that Silva ---> DL
Also, this little gem from Riggleman:
"It’s something that I think if we were in a different part of the season, or the standings, he would pitch through it,’’ Riggleman said.
Yes.. if we were higher up the standings, Silva would just pitch through the pain! What a trooper!

That could be late, but I wasn't able to take part in the game thread.. Again.
so I missed out if it was posted. News to me though
seattlesundevil - August 16, 2008
So that's how they're gonna get Feierabend into the rotation
Gomez - August 16, 2008
But they were already taking Dickey out of the rotation
BrettJMiller - August 16, 2008
Yeah, but it also solves the dilemma of getting him on the 25 man
Without having to figure out who to punt.
Gomez - August 16, 2008
Im sure im not the only one...
Who has noticed everytime our pitchers go through a major stretch of suck, they play the injury excuse.
I seriously dont trust any injury to our pitchers anymore unless it comes from Felix. Bedard gets a pass because he doesnt suck for long stretches.
Slica - August 16, 2008
I keep forgetting he's a Mariner.
Teej - August 16, 2008
Isn't it better that way? Out of sight out of mind... ahhhh.
dpseadv - August 16, 2008
Losing in entertaining fashion is better than losing in boring fashion
Robert - August 16, 2008
Does it go entertaining win vs. NYY, BOS or LAA > entertaining loss > entertaining win > boring loss > boring win?
Mariner John - August 16, 2008
At least Batista could get 20 losses if we keep doing this
OlSalty - August 16, 2008
My money was on Silva.
But the DL stint is going to make it pretty much impossible.
Teej - August 16, 2008
I was hoping for both.
Has that ever happened before?
thewyrm - August 16, 2008
Also, 1.5 back of the Nats in the Human Dead Meme race
Gomez - August 16, 2008
Alluding to a dead meme is the same thing as referencing it.
Robert - August 16, 2008
Nice job! You got the joke!
Gomez - August 16, 2008
But only 1 back in the win column!
dnc - August 16, 2008
Oh good, I'm glad I didn't miss anything interesting.
Kirsten Schlewitz - August 16, 2008
You had a 98.7458% chance of not missing anything interesting.
SethGrandpa - August 16, 2008
Yes Silva. Pitch through the pain.
That always works.
ThundaPC - August 16, 2008
That's great for ya in the long run.
That’s howya help the team!
Smith18 - August 16, 2008
Not a good start for Morrow
double, 4 pitch walk, strikeout, 2 run double….
MfaninAlaska - August 16, 2008
Yikes, against the River Cats in Sacramento, no less
They don’t necessarily suck, but this is one of the PCL’s deader parks and the River Cats aren’t known for being especially explosive.
Gomez - August 16, 2008
He's fininished for the day
his final line (not bad after the rough start)
3.2ip 3h 2r 2bb 5k 61 pitches 39 strikes… 3 ground outs 3 fly outs
Still throws way too many pitches…

Riggleman Thinks Raul Ibañez Is Really Good At Defense

Fin - August 16, 2008
What's he supposed to say?
“We know he’s terrible and we just don’t care”?
Though it is such an obvious move that I am starting to think they may leave him there just to spite the blogs. Especially because he’s told people that he would like to DH in the past.
BrettJMiller - August 16, 2008
How about just "we moved him to DH because it's a turf game"?
There’s really no need to
bullshitrave about his defense. Does Riggleman need to tell everyone how awesome Ichiro is on defense when he plays at DH?eponymous_coward - August 16, 2008
Is Riggleman asked about Ichiro's defense
when he’s at DH. What you don’t know is the context of his answer in regards to the question he was asked.
MfaninAlaska - August 16, 2008
So it's bullshit, like the "Vidro has such great at-bats" stuff.
I guess it’s all about the Mariner organizational dedication to insulting fan intelligence by bullshitting them, if it’s not Riggleman being so fucking stupid Raul throwing lawn darts is “good left field all year”.
eponymous_coward - August 17, 2008
I'm back to rooting for losses again.
Meanwhile, Seahawks!
Omerta - August 16, 2008
FUCKING BREWERS! JJ HARDY YOU WASTE OF FUCKING AIR!
Goose - August 16, 2008
OMG IT'S LIKE THEY'RE LOSING ON PURPOSE!
Goose - August 16, 2008
They've taken a page from the Mariners' note book.
Fin - August 17, 2008
Tanking to land that coveted #18 pick
Gomez - August 17, 2008
I am glad that Silva didn't say anything about playing through pain in his most recent diatribe.
Christian - August 16, 2008
His arm hurts too much to throw anybody against a wall
Gomez - August 17, 2008
It's gotta be more of a shoulder/neck issue.
Ducking from line-drives…arching his neck up to see the ball get crushed. Only 3+ years..I can’t believe we’ve replaced Washburn and that contract with him. We are one of the most fucked organizations ever, only behind Nambla.
kentroyals5 - August 17, 2008
Can we trade Silva to Namibia?
Nick S - August 17, 2008
Or maybe trade for this guy.
Fin - August 17, 2008
Gomez?
kentroyals5 - August 17, 2008
Bwhahahahahahahaha!
Goose - August 17, 2008
THAT is what's missing from my softball game
Unmitigated fury at the plate.
