Listen live at 1:05. Here are your lineups. I can't believe I used to think Dayton Moore was smart.
By the way, apparently Wakamatsu has been reasonably impressed by the work of Shawn Kelley so far, so there's another name to keep in mind as far as the bullpen mess is concerned. He's not going to break camp with the Mariners, but as a reliever blessed with control and good stuff, he could jump up awful quick. Kind of like Mark Lowe, only without the oh my god my cartilage my cartilage really hurts

I hate this non-broadcasting of games.
the KC station’s feed has switched to Fox radio rather than stream the game.
msb - March 11, 2009
Didn't KIRO used to broadcast most of the ST games as recently as last year?
Thingray - March 11, 2009
Radio only, I think
I’m not sure all ST games have really ever been broadcast – it’s typically one or two a week. Maybe they aren’t spending the money because a lot of the big name players are at the WBC.
pdb - March 11, 2009
KOMO had worked up to broadcasting almost every one, so I have been spoiled.
KIRO is pretty much just doing the weekends, I assume because they are not a full-time sports station yet.
Apparently they feel someone wants to listen to Dori.
msb - March 11, 2009
Dori wants to listen to Dori.
Vatinius - March 11, 2009
I'm sure his mother loves him and wants to hear his voice
pdb - March 11, 2009
They used to broadcast every game except for the charity game.
JI - March 11, 2009
All right Mike Sweeney AB!
ST is awesome!
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Gil Mech bases loaded
this situation feels familiar.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
I hate how every opposing announcer
has to mention that Tuiasasopo is a big name in Seattle.
Do people really still give two shits about that family?
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Yes.
msb - March 11, 2009
Ask Robert
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
Not I.
But yes, people do.
Teej - March 11, 2009
I guess not going to college in Washington
has made me not care as much about them.
Now my undying rage for the Huard’s will never end.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Rage for, or against?
msb - March 11, 2009
Against even
bluemax - March 11, 2009
But they are so wholesome.
msb - March 11, 2009
But
Fuck Puyallup High School. Watching them suck after their dad retired was nice.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Speaking of the dynasty
there is a video up on the Softball site with Ashley (freshman, Softball), which includes side-by-side shots of her swing with Pujols’
msb - March 11, 2009
More then you could ever imagine.
Robert - March 11, 2009
"We haven't heard a bad thing about him yet"
The Royals announcer on Willie Bloomquist.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Left unsaid:
we haven’t heard much good about him.
pdb - March 11, 2009
Actually I think he explicitly said
that he’s lived up to all the good things said about him so far.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
there goes my joke then
pdb - March 11, 2009
Sorry
bluemax - March 11, 2009
It's pretty easy to live up to nothing
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
the soft bigotry of no expectations
pdb - March 11, 2009
I like the Spork moniker for Willie
He is to baseball what the spork is to cutlery.
Big Jared - March 11, 2009
Obligatory
appleshampoo - March 11, 2009
"I thought he was a bargain for the Royals"
Rick Rizzs on Gil Meche’s contract.
“He’s a guy you can build around, he has great stuff.”
bluemax - March 11, 2009
To be fair
He does have great stuff…he just hasn’t put it all together for great results yet. I think he might still. He’s just kind of a head case….but with Greinke in KC I guess he can probably shake the “head case” label.
appleshampoo - March 11, 2009
I think Graham or Matthew recently demonstrated that he turned out to be worth his contract
johnbai - March 11, 2009
His contract still has a ways to go
Jeff Sullivan - March 11, 2009
Should have qualified:
Thus far.
johnbai - March 11, 2009
The Royals' play by play guy
is Jim Lefebvre’s son.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Rick Rizzs is in love with Bloomquist
bluemax - March 11, 2009
So, wait....
Is there an actual listen link that doesn’t make me pay for it? Am I blind?…
section331 - March 11, 2009
Not that I've found.
msb - March 11, 2009
MLB loves money.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - March 11, 2009
I hate them.
I hate them so bad.
section331 - March 11, 2009
Feel free to support one of their many competitors then
or as they say in Selig’s office FUCK YOU AND GIVE US YOUR MONEY
pdb - March 11, 2009
I support the Iraqi National Baseball League!
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
That league is total Shi'ite.
abender20 - March 11, 2009
I don't know whether to rec or flag this
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
no politics but well played

Are you feeling cloudy or sunni?
johnbai - March 11, 2009
I don't know whether to rec or flag this
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
If that pun didn't serb your purpose, why don't you croate your own?
johnbai - March 11, 2009
Not sure why haters always balkan at the puns.
kevin_ess - March 11, 2009
If Jihad a dollar for every one of these puns...
hcoguy - March 11, 2009
It would mecca dollar
Kermit. - March 11, 2009
I'm the only one listening to this
aren’t I?
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Probably.
I can’t stream audio at work so I’m just sitting here hoping Arsenal/Roma doesn’t go to penalties. I hate penalties.
pdb - March 11, 2009
Eh, Arsenal has no English players on the pitch.
They should be fine in penalties.
marc w - March 11, 2009
Penalties terrify me
Ever since Bergkamp’s miss in the 1999 FA Cup against Man Utd I pretty much can’t watch penalties.
pdb - March 11, 2009
I expect the worst from penalties, and usually receive exactly that.
Given recent history, I’m a little bitter.
The one GOOD memory from PKs = Seattle’s first A league crown a few years back. Good stuff.
marc w - March 11, 2009
Given recent history I am bitter right along with you.
royalcurve - March 11, 2009
Croats apparently suck at PKs too
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
yes they do
pdb - March 11, 2009
c'mon manuel make a save
pdb - March 11, 2009
Well this is tense
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
Yep
marc w - March 11, 2009
I'm glad my team have never had penalties in the CL
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
Congrats on the win Paul
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
Damn. Nice win, Gooners.
marc w - March 11, 2009
Ugly but effective.
pdb - March 11, 2009
it feels more like an avoidance of a loss than an actual win at this point
but I’ll take it.
pdb - March 11, 2009
The national team should stop playing in Spurs colours if they want to stop being terrible
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
They tried playing in Man U colors
and the only result was that Man U couldn’t make PKs either.
marc w - March 11, 2009
Entirely acceptable
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
Hey.
royalcurve - March 11, 2009
I am also offended.
(I think?)
Aaron Campeau - March 11, 2009
Quit talking about soccer
WE GET IT ALL READY YOU LIKE SOCCER WHOOOPDIE SHIT

Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009

So, uh, did the game stop or something?
Box score hasn’t updated in quite a while.
marc w - March 11, 2009
Halftime, duh

So Miguel Cairo went deep AGAIN?
marc w - March 11, 2009
This is actually crazy.

You fucker why didn't you take roids when you were on the Mariners
JI - March 11, 2009
Mike Morse's mom didn't teach him how to share
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
What a whore
JI - March 11, 2009
You know Rizzs
I don’t think that Griffey is really smiling that much these days.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
his pained grimace looks like a smile so that's something I guess
pdb - March 11, 2009
It is weird that this is the Royals broadcast
and they’ve talked more about the M’s.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Well, you have to consider this question:
Who really wants to talk about the Royals?
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 11, 2009
Apparently, the answer is "everyone at Fangraphs."
marc w - March 11, 2009
Yes but those people are FAS babies.
JI - March 11, 2009
FAS babies who looooove to talk about the Royals.
marc w - March 11, 2009

THEY NEEDED A POWER HITTER, THEY DIDN’T GET JACOBS TO GET RID OF BUTLER, THEY WOULD WORK GOOOOOOD TOGETHER, WHAT SHEALY WILL SHOW UP, WILL KA’AIHUE TURN INTO A STARTER, WE DON’T KNOW SO LET’S GET GOOD PEOPLE LIKE A POWER HITTER AND WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO GO GET HIM OFF FA LIST SO BE HAPPY AND HOPE FOR MORE!!!!!go royals
JLC - March 11, 2009
Matthew only likes to talk about the Angels.
Further showcasing his obvious bias.

He's been dragging the site down for too long.

Joe Posnanski
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
Also, Dayton Moore
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
The Royals appear to love the M's. In the worst way possible.

Hint: Jose Guillen, Willie Bloomquist, etc
.Taylor - March 11, 2009
Jokes are almost always better when you explain them immediately after saying the punchline
JI - March 11, 2009
Really?
I always thought that the mark of a bad joke was having to explain it to other people.
Shows what I know.
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
Hint: I was being sarcastic here; that's why it's funny
I was saying something that was exactly the opposite of what I actually think!
seattlebruin - March 11, 2009
But that's lying!
shinallsrevenge - March 11, 2009
it's like you're lying but in a humorous way
pdb - March 11, 2009
Oh, so when used for humorous effect, lying is no longer sinful,
but in fact inhances mirth
shinallsrevenge - March 11, 2009
enhances dammit
shinallsrevenge - March 11, 2009
Too late
you’ve ruined this subthread with your typo.
johnbai - March 11, 2009
I was hoping for some sort of flowchart or diagram but words will have to suffice
pdb - March 11, 2009
Correction:
Jokes are sometimes funnier when you explain the punchline but only when said punchline is incredibly foul and you wait for a few seconds after the audience quits laughing.
JI - March 11, 2009
the best example of an explained joke being funnier ever?
“the hammer is my penis”.
pdb - March 11, 2009
That is a good example
JI - March 11, 2009
Yes.
royalcurve - March 11, 2009
ahhhh.

Wlad walked.
It happened a while ago. It’s still worth noting.
JY - March 11, 2009
I was pretty impressed when I saw Jakubauskas had held a lineup hitless through three innings, but then I realized that Bloomquist was the #2 hitter for that lineup.
pumpkin - March 11, 2009
It's Spring Training.
.Taylor - March 11, 2009
Still a nice game for him
It’s not murderer’s row, but it’s not a split squad, either.

Gameday:
Link
I saw that a Royal hit an ITP HR to right field and instantly knew Morse was playing today.
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
He has a lifetime UZR of +15.5 in the OF
JI - March 11, 2009
Clearly Endy needs to grab some bench.
Big Jared - March 11, 2009
UZR counts hurting himself and therefore being unable to keep playing as a huge boost in his favour
Graham MacAree - March 11, 2009
Were the 4 balls that the royals hit the RF balls that should've been caught but MIke Morse sucked and didn't get to them?
Slurvey - March 11, 2009
Amazingly only one word needs to be changed for this question to make total sense.
Can you guess which word it is?
johnbai - March 11, 2009
Sucked?
It should’ve read: Were the 4 balls that the royals hit TO right field balls that should’ve been caught but Mike Morse sucked and didn’t get to them?
Slurvey - March 11, 2009
I was just teasing
because I read the question about 4 times trying to figure out what the heck you were asking? Then I realized it was just one little word away from making total sense and was sort of amazed.
johnbai - March 11, 2009
I re-read my comment as well and at first I was like wow this doesn't make a lot of since what am I missing?
Slurvey - March 11, 2009
Well
at least Jeff Clement has 2 hits today.
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Man Lincecum made mincemeat of the Japanese lineup.
pumpkin - March 11, 2009
I agree that Timmy needs a less... um... retarded... nickname
But I’m not sure I can get behind calling him “Man Lincecum”.
johnbai - March 11, 2009
Especially as he is so teeny.
msb - March 11, 2009
Timmy Timmy Fizzlepants
Jeff Sullivan - March 11, 2009
You should get a Giants jersey with TT Fizzlepants on the back.
pdb - March 11, 2009
Wait what happened?
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Apparently the Japanese lineup has been reduced to a disgusting sandwich filling
pdb - March 11, 2009
When did they face Lincecum?
bluemax - March 11, 2009
Exhibition tune-up.
msb - March 11, 2009
and I see that
Larry Stone went over to watch
msb - March 11, 2009
Today - an exhibition game.

Ahh thanks

"Mike Wilson remains in the game as the shortstop"
What?
Malcontent1 - March 11, 2009
!
They should had kept Truinfel!?! in there.
Slurvey - March 11, 2009
I don't know if anybody else can see it or if it's just me
Apparently GameDay just exploded on Mike Wilson’s position. I think it’s safe to assume he’s actually in the outfield and not linebackering up shortstop
