At first I laughed at the exchange between Felix and Carlos

Then I got mad.

What a boring looking game.

I’m not even upset I missed it.

Felix wore some gay shoes the day that picture was taken

Because 'Los thieved his extension money, dammit!
Before Carlos

This picture was taken at Fanfest on January 27th 2007

I know.

I was kidding.

Coach loafers aren't really all that gay.
if you're an Italian socialite.
My issue is much more with the flared jeans than the loafers.
Yeah, they're both bad, and in combination even worse.
Better than that urban wear look.
wow..

How did Seattle fail to score in Texas with some crap pitcher going for the Rangers? They must’ve gotten the Strasburg memo.

You HAVE watched this team this year, haven't you?

They can fail to score against anybody, at any time.

We drew zero walks.

I don’t really want to look that up, but we’ve done that like 30 times this season haven’t we?

I bet Nippert had a hard time locating today
Today was the ninth time this season we were shutout.

Proof!

Right above win/loss splits.

Okay, so I looked up the wrong thing.

I’ll go search for this now.

Fifteen times, including today.

April 16 (W)
April 18 (L)
April 19 (L)
April 23 (L)
May 4 (L)
May 28 (W)
June 30 (L)
July 8 (L)
July 11 (L)
July 20 (L)
July 21 (L)
August 7 (W)
August 8 (L)
September 2 (L)
September 3 (L)

Overall: 3-12

More interesting/random:

Four times in there (8 games) they didn’t draw a walk in back to back games.

Indeed.

Also, failing to draw a walk three times in four games between April 16 and 19.

I’ve emailed a few researchers who might be able to find out the record for walkless games in a year.

the lumber

curiously enough, just today mlb.com mentioned that the M’s have been hitting .292 since the break, second in baseball. Thank God there’s only one Nippert.

Jeff, you have an enormous power.

I know this isn’t true, but it seems as if every time you knock a pitcher for being shitty, he shuts down the Mariners lineup, or rather the Mariners lineup lays down for him.

The pitchers ARE shitty

The M’s have a knack for making shitty pitchers look good because they routinely swing at shitty pitches that miss the zone. This leads to outs. I think it’s the power of hacking at work.

I'm not arguing the pitchers are any good. Just saying that Jeff has ridiculous power.
I gave him crap for that in the game thread, but seriously: Nippert *should* be a good pitcher.

It’s perhaps not surprising that he can be successful for a start here or there.
I feel much worse about the Jeremy Sowers loss(es), or the Doug Waechter abomination.

Felix gives up 1 run and loses.

Silva gives up 6 runs and doesn’t.

Awesome…

I'm blaming this loss on Marlon Byrd
600 people showed up for the Braves/Marlins game today.

I wonder how a team like that survives to 2011

(Assuming their stadium gets built by then without further delay.)

Well, they did "sell" 11,211 tickets today.
Revenue sharing.

And a sub-$30M payroll.

Revenue sharing ensures the Marlins will never go away.
Wow.

Even the Expos rarely had fewer than 2,000 fans attend.

Definitely not a first for the Marlins.

They played already?

Slept right through it.

I got woken up to the text message from ESPN alerts with the final score.
Apparently so did the rest of Miami-Dade County
I didn't think this team could surprise me

but this game snapped our 4 game win streak which is (so far) .the longest of the season As bad as it has been I could have sworn they had a few 5 or 6 game streaks …. sigh….

Technically yesterday snapped that streak, but nonetheless, yea, we suck.
