Listen live at 12:05. Or, for the first time this year, watch on MLB.tv! All your favorites will be there, including Bryan LaHair, Prentice Redman, Denny Stark, and Reegie Corona. This is like turning on FOX to watch House, but instead of House they're airing a re-run of Saved By The Bell, and instead of decent Saved By The Bell it's one of those episodes with Tori instead of Kelly, and you try to change the channel but the battery holder falls off of the remote, and your popcorn tastes like goulash because dammit who put paprika in the salt shaker? That's what this is like.

Paprika on popcorn is fucking amazing. And House sucks now.
Your analogies need work. Frankly, we might have to hold you out of the WBC to work out more with the team.

Jeff Sullivan - March 2, 2009
I have to second House sucking
Goodnight sweet prince.
JI - March 2, 2009
Better.
But seriously, paprika is amazing on popcorn. Try it some time.
Matthew - March 2, 2009
Do you also put butter on it?
Corco - March 2, 2009
Yeah is it butter and paprika
or just paprika?
bluemax - March 2, 2009
sans butter
Matthew - March 2, 2009
hmmm
I might try this
Corco - March 2, 2009
I hate that the writers refuse to make any story arc
last more than one episode.
Except the Foreman/Thirteen thing which sucks. I don’t care if it is supposed to be a parallel to House’s life or whatever, it sucks.
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Tonight on House: Wilson is flying back from a conference in Chicago when Air Traffic Control loses contact with his plane.
Everyone assumes the plane has crashed and start mourning Wilson. House shows real emotion at the loss of his friend. With 10 minutes left in the show, the FAA announces that the plane just went through some electrical storms and that toyed with transmissions. House then punches Cuddy in the uterus and drinks an entire bottle of Scotch while taunting 13 with black dildo.
abender20 - March 2, 2009
Congratulations, you can be a season 5 House writer!
Corco - March 2, 2009
The worst part is how most of the stories have looked like they were setting up for a significant development
and then it just evaporates at the end.
Foreman’s fired! No, he’s not.
Thirteen’s dead! No, she’s not.
Wilson quit! No, he didn’t.
House is off vicodin! No, he’s not.
It’s like they’re writing the episodes so they’ll work better in syndication where they’re often seen out of order. It’s a wonder Fox is letting Dollhouse have a story arc at all.
Llewdor - March 2, 2009
That's an interesting point. These recent episodes are tailor made for syndication.
abender20 - March 2, 2009
My DVR cut off the last 60 seconds of last weeks episode.
What did I miss?
Robert - March 2, 2009
LUPUS!!!
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I call bullshit
Robert - March 2, 2009
Well-called
Never watched House, but I know enough to know (at least from .gifs and .jpgs here), that Lupus is never the answer
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
The series imploding.
BrianL - March 2, 2009
Never, ever watch those last 60 seconds
Corco - March 2, 2009
Never watch those last 60 seconds and assume it was the series finale.
JI - March 2, 2009
It's also a lot like watching crappy baseball
Bearskin Rugburn - March 2, 2009
As always
Gameday, for people who like their action with a 5 to 10 minute delay.
Mariners are the only undefeated MLB team (pardon the redundancy) left in Spring Training. This is apparently their best start since going 5-0 in 1994 (per Bob Condotta).
Almost time for Washburn TV.
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
Does this undefeatedness tell us that the Mariners do have a good farm system, despite popular belief?
Fin - March 2, 2009
I think Wak says it best
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
We certainely don't have a better farm system than Texas
I think our players are simply trying to come out of the gate fast, since very few people are 100% sure they will get a roster spot.
Ezzra - March 2, 2009
You'd think MLB.com would let you listen to spring training game radio for free.

Bearskin Rugburn - March 2, 2009
I'm watching for free.

Does anyone know how good Woodward’s defense is at short?
pumpkin - March 2, 2009
No, but I would assume sub-par.
JI - March 2, 2009
He flirts with being average according to UZR
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1329&position=SS#fielding
200tang - March 2, 2009
Woodward sucks
Jeff Sullivan - March 2, 2009
Crabbe in LF? Weird
Corco - March 2, 2009
Interesting, I can't imagine he has the bat to stick there.
Maybe he’d work in CF, eventually? I don’t know how that would work for the Mariners but it’s interesting as he’s a former Brewer prospect who was blocked by Rickie Weeks his whole time there.
Jack Moore - March 2, 2009
He's probably best off at 2nd
This is just a temporary fix because we’re out of OFers though I’d bet.
I’d put Cedeno or Corona out there though because they’re more likely to be on the team and it’s good to see if they can do spot duty out there if necessary
Corco - March 2, 2009
This is a weird broadcast.
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Well that was positively Mariner-esque
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
Well that was strangely similar to 2008
Corco - March 2, 2009
We may not be able to score 10 runs today.
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
Oh goody mlbtv is already frozen.
JI - March 2, 2009
Washburn had arm problems?
Did I just forget this?
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Great commentary
“We may or may not see balls get lost in the sun”
Who are these hacks?
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
The non Hawk Harrelson White Sox broadcasters
Corco - March 2, 2009
Radio crew?
Because these guys suck
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Yep
Corco - March 2, 2009
Gotta say, I'd rather have Hawk
Then again, I like Hawk
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I'm with you
Hawk is my favorite announcer ever
Corco - March 2, 2009
Hey now, I loves me some Hawk
But… NIEHAUS??
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I was a White Sox fan first
Corco - March 2, 2009
Fair enough
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Or Vin Scully
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
Over Niehaus, Sims...hell even Rizzs? Or Fairly? Or Levine?
Raible and Calabro are pretty good as far as local announcers go
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
Speaking of which, Calabro got a gig with ESPN basketball.
I thought he was just going to stay local?
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 2, 2009
I'm all for it
I finally get to hear him do games again. He makes every NBA game he announces that much better.
TheTank123 - March 2, 2009
You've heard the story
nostalgia and all that jazz. Hawk was who I listened to as a little kid I hadn’t even heard of Dave Niehaus until I was 11 years old
Corco - March 2, 2009
Bob Uecker
Even if you’re not a Brewer fan, just imagine watching Major League for every single game ever.
Jack Moore - March 2, 2009
I didn't know Hawk had fans besides Corco
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
My girlfriend LOVES him
Big sox fan… loves the homerism
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I tend to think mild homerism is ok.
Hawk has no long-standing reason to be a homer, being that his “career” with the Sox started as a broadcaster, not a player.
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
He's been their announcer or GM for like 20 years
How could he not be a homer for them?
JI - March 2, 2009
He's always been a homer, though.
It seems a bit fake when his relationship with the team started as a broadcaster. I mean, yeah, Niehaus started with us as a broadcaster but 1. he never played, and 2. he’s not really too much of a homer.
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
Meh
I don’t see why having played for the team gives you any more or less reason to be a fan. Hawk’s a White Sock through and through
Corco - March 2, 2009
There's nothing like a broadcaster calling his team the "Good Guys"
and the other team the “Bad Guys”…
On any fly ball decently deep… “Stretch! Stretch! Stretch!” etc.
abender20 - March 2, 2009
Eh. That's the one thing about him that doesn't bug me.
Good Guys/ Bad Guys is funny.
JI - March 2, 2009
I've had this argument before
I think “White Sock” is the proper sounding singular, but I think they actually say “He’s been a White Sox”
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
White Sox sounds way cooler.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Though the incorrectness of the grammar
Makes me twitch
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
It would bug me if they weren't spelling Sox with an X.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Soqucs?
JI - March 2, 2009
That's Montreal's next team.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Psawchks
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Remember Elvis' hit
“All Shaken Up” ?
JI - March 2, 2009
Niehaus is a total homer
he has a fucking heart attack every time the Mariners hit a homerun. Not so for the visitors.
JI - March 2, 2009
This cheered me up.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
Nah, it's always SWUNG ON AND BELTED unless it was say Guardado blowing it to Ozuna and said "And he did it again...we're tied"
Dave doesn’t call us the good guys or them the bad guys either. Yeah he gets excited when we go deep, but generally he gets excited for ANY good play by either team.
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
While that may be true
I reject your premise that Harrelson shouldn’t be a homer for the Sox because he never played for them. It doesn’t make any sense.
The team’s broadcasters are hired to promote the team. By definition they are supposed to be homers.
JI - March 2, 2009
All I'm saying is that Harrelson takes it too far, and is ridiculously over the top in his homerism to the point of annoyance.
I doubt a non-Mariner fan would be frustrated with Niehaus’ take on the action. The not having played for the Sox thing is just one reason why he shouldn’t be SO homeristic for a team that he had minimal affiliation with before he became their broadcaster.
BrettJMiller - March 2, 2009
I didn't know it was possible to be worse than Hawk Harrelson
JI - March 2, 2009
There's a reason many White Sox fans don't think the Hawk is THAT bad
maybe they just have low standards
Corco - March 2, 2009
There is some competition
Big Jared - March 2, 2009
Not worse, can speak english.

He might have before he got hurt.
JI - March 2, 2009
If he didn't get hurt, he would have warranted a decent amount of votes
At least according to what the voters usually go for.
hcoguy - March 2, 2009
Before he got hurt doesn't matter though
He got hurt, he didn’t deserve the MVP.
200tang - March 2, 2009
Well that was their argument.
IF he didn’t get hurt, he would have deserved it. That’s what they were saying.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
My mistake then
:)
200tang - March 2, 2009
GOO
JI - March 2, 2009
GOODBYE BASEBALL
JI - March 2, 2009
Whoopsy Daisy.
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
Yay DJ is in the booth
Corco - March 2, 2009
Yikes
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
What is this concept
“decent Saved by the Bell</em”? I am not familiar with it.
The Ancient Mariner - March 2, 2009
Blast it all, why isn't there an edit/delete function?
The Ancient Mariner - March 2, 2009
Saved by the Bell was amazing.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Yes, but not in a good way.
The Ancient Mariner - March 2, 2009
Amazing is amazing
JI - March 2, 2009
Ah SRV nooooo!!!
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Sing it sister
JI - March 2, 2009
Let me further elaborate
That thought Hendrix and SRV have influence some of my favorite musicians, their songs are unremarkable.
JI - March 2, 2009
I would tend to agree but I like Hendrix well enough. SRV is torture.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Oh yeah, I'd take Hendrix for sure
He has some decent songs
JI - March 2, 2009
Not a good day for RRS
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Suck it Robert

JI - March 2, 2009
Sizemore should have won.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
.2 of win is well within the margin of error
JI - March 2, 2009
He's still better.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Sure, but the MVP is based on a 1 year sample.
JI - March 2, 2009
Right but Sizemore was more valuable last season.
Even though their WAR was practically the same, I think Sizemore was more valuable based on his other numbers.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Fuck his shitty average and his boyish good looks.
JI - March 2, 2009
At least he's not an oompa loompa.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Sizemore ... dreamy.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
See what I mean?
JI - March 2, 2009
Goddamn it is a beautiful day today
at least here in Seatac.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
Yeah we got 6 inches of snow here in DC today
Goddamn groundhog
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Beautiful here in the CD was well.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
The weather is dreary in LA today
after a gorgeous weekend.
I went to the beach.
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Mike Sweeney is making the club?
JI - March 2, 2009
Spring Training decides everything.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
These booth guys are making all sorts of really unpleasant noises.
The color guy sounds like he’s rubbing one out and the play-by-play guy keeps bruping.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Sexy.
JI - March 2, 2009
Eww. Rubbing one out?
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
I refuse to believe that this offended you.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Explains the heavy breathing
JI - March 2, 2009
It absolutely doesn't offend me, it's just the phrase that makes me squirm.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
Excellent.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Maverick!
PositivePaul - March 2, 2009
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Goddamn this song
The recent remake really killed it…
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Ty Walker!
JI - March 2, 2009
Holy crap his ass is huge
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
It's probably the camera angle
JI - March 2, 2009
That's always my excuse.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
Some people like huge asses
JI - March 2, 2009
Unh, double-up
unh-unh.
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 2, 2009
Or the fact that he's got a huge ass.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
It's amazing how the games speed up when there are no commercials.
Look Bud, we solved it! Just like the Good Ol’ Days!
JI - March 2, 2009
Suck it AJ
JI - March 2, 2009
Bwhahahahahaha!
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
Haha fuck you A.J.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
Way to hustle dicknose.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
hahahaha
JI - March 2, 2009
Technically he wasn't running
JI - March 2, 2009
Baaaaaaaaaad Baserunning
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Har!
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
Holy Shit
Earl Weaver baseball is being ported to the iPhone.
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Digital reverb on drums is the worst thing ever.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
For some reason I always wanted to hear Dance Song with electronic drums
JI - March 2, 2009
It's the themesong of food service workers everywhere
JI - March 2, 2009
That was a fastball?
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
"He really likes to pitch on the mound."
Good news!
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
First person to make a "hey I know why the Orioles are interested in Sherrill" joke gets slapped.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Why are the O's interested in Sherrill?
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
It's the deadest of dead memes.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Just thought I'd play straight man
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
These lyrics are horrifying.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
I was going to tell a story
But I’ll just say that it ended with this guy Wayne had a CD that had “WAYNE’s CREED” written on it in black magic marker. He listened to it when he was in the mood for rock.
JI - March 2, 2009
I do not approve of these commercials
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Seriously was that the rallying cry for the KKK or something
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
What the hell is this bumper music?
BrianL - March 2, 2009
Hahaha Baseball Prospectus baiting
Corco - March 2, 2009
They haven't even read it
Corco - March 2, 2009
Jeez, guys, look at a roster for two seconds
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
Jesus Christ look it's called a breathe right nasal strip you fucking pantload.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
What did they call it? I didn't hear.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
They didn't call it anything it just sounds like the color guy has a mic up his nose.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Right. Got it.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
He's alluding to the constant heavy breathing.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
hehhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhh hehhhhhhhhhhhh
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
But I like the stairs!
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
That's great stuff.
abender20 - March 2, 2009
You have mentioned Mike Carp three times now.
We get it. Mike Carp is at first base.
BrianL - March 2, 2009
*first place
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
It's spring training - he's just fishing for something to say.
Jed MC - March 2, 2009
They don't really care. This game is just being broadcast for the halibut.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
In Salmon chanted future
We will be rid of these puns
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I hope not. That would be really crappie.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
The next person who makes a fish pun is gonna get a Sockeye
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
I've haddock up to here with these jokes
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I cod not help myself.
hcoguy - March 2, 2009
Well, quit floundering about
Especially at work, or you’ll never get that rays
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I severely trout that...
abender20 - March 2, 2009
Argh bring back the fuck brown people song.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
For those of us who aren't listening, comments like this are pure comedy gold.
marc w - March 2, 2009
Screenshots!
JI - March 2, 2009
What was the title?
JI - March 2, 2009
The gist of the song was "We're taking our country back"
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
...
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
I'm pretty sure he had a song about chocolate pie in the early '90's.
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
Apparently it's about how bad country music has become but I think that's just talk.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
He just saved it with one bold stroke right there
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
Why doesn't he just play good country music.
mark sobba - March 2, 2009
Maybe they're taking it back fromt he people who hate the brown people.
JI - March 2, 2009
Seems likely.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
How do they go from John Anderson hayseed music to this?
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
GOD DAMN IT IT'S REEGIE
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
In all fairness it's not really a name.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
...and mlbtv shits itself
JI - March 2, 2009
.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
In the good version Crow's eyes fly right off his face.
JI - March 2, 2009
Also, Gypsy's scenes in that episode are unwatchable.
JI - March 2, 2009
There goes the feed
15 bucks well spent
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Especially considering how I was watching it for free.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
I had to renew my mlb.tv subscription to watch
And this is the bullshit I have to put up with? Outrageous, I demand satisfaction
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Come back poor excuse for baseball
You’re all I’ve got
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
One of the few phrases in baseball lingo that I've yet to figure out is "he throws a heavy ball"
Every time I hear that I flash on Professor Brown in Back to the Future giving Marty shit about saying heavy all the time. Anybody care to explain it to me while mlb fixes their shit?
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
Batters find the pitch difficult to lift
Graham MacAree - March 2, 2009
then they start using back braces and weightlifting gloves
performance enhancing is a slippery slope.
pdb - March 2, 2009
I thought that referred to a good sinker.
Eyebrows - March 2, 2009
I always thought it was any pitch that had a late drop on it, but I'm not sure about that. Like a Freddie Garcia 2-seamer at the knees
Some of those old phrases get misused a lot, lose their original meaning. Or make any relevant sense at all, it makes my eye twitch now and then.
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
On radio they're not watching the game
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
On the radio, White Sox fan question: "Is A.J. Hall of Fame worthy?"
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
What station is it on? I thought it was mlb.tv only.
Kermit. - March 2, 2009
WSCR Chicago (Gameday Audio)
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
So is there still a baseball game going on?
Corco - March 2, 2009
There are crowd noises, but the announcers have stopped watching
shinallsrevenge - March 2, 2009
Yeah, I thought the game was over also. The White Sox announcers haven't mentioned it in about half hour.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
so they're in midseason form then.
pdb - March 2, 2009
Apparently, they really aren't
According to this
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
This is going to help MLB.TV sell subscriptions.
BrianL - March 2, 2009
Gameday is still updating
Not much happening though. Triunfel is in and hit an infield single.
sulles - March 2, 2009
I wish I could get paid to do a job
And then just stop doing it like halfway through and go eat a hamburger or something
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
you've obviously never worked for the government
pdb - March 2, 2009
Hey.
Kind of.
seattlebruin - March 2, 2009
I meant directly for the government not the quasi-government-military-industrial-complex
pdb - March 2, 2009
No politics.
marc w - March 2, 2009
Shadow governments don't make politics they subvert them
you’ll have to speak up because I can’t hear you over the crinkling of this tinfoil hat.
pdb - March 2, 2009
DJ does better on the TV where you can watch the game while he talks about something else
Corco - March 2, 2009
TV feed returns!
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
Wow.
Are the radio announcers looking at Gameday, too?
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
That's what it sounds like.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
One of the announcers just had to ask the other one what inning it is.
royalcurve - March 2, 2009
Oh boy just in time for John Denver.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Down to Brent Lillibridge.
ThundaPC - March 2, 2009
"Right now an extra base hit would help."
As opposed to all those times when it’s a serious detriment.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
Oh boy here comes the douche patrol.
Aaron Campeau - March 2, 2009
We are really good at winning meaningless baseball
OlSalty - March 2, 2009
Pretend this is meaningful and the regular season is meaningless
That’s my coping mechanism
Corco - March 2, 2009
Sure it was a win...
but only 5 runs?
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
if only these things actually mattered
pdb - March 2, 2009
Preseason titles don't matter?
Well crap…
Robert Lintott - March 2, 2009
I remember the 1995 preseason
that was the Spring Training That Saved Baseball.
pdb - March 2, 2009
I'm starting to think the M's are taking this "winning attitude" thing really seriously
and trying to run the Cactus League undefeated.
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 2, 2009
Randy Messenger continues to audition for closer!
bluemax - March 2, 2009
Spring Training Championship!
We should all pretend that the team with the highest Spring Training record wins the spring training championship, and then pretend that it matters. Then at least maybe Seattle will be able to win a championship in somehting :)
Team is looking good, but its probably meaningless. I remember that that 2001 team sucked in spring training.
AlexR - March 2, 2009
Ichiro was "setting up" the league. It was ridiculous.
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 2, 2009
I look forward to the banner raising that will commemorate the 2008 Spring Training World Championship
pdb - March 2, 2009
Good thing....
Its a good thing that that first charity game against San Diego didnt count toward the not-counting spring training records. Otherwise we’d be 4-1 instead of 4-0 in irrelevant baseball games!
AlexR - March 2, 2009
The Perfect Dream is still alive!
seattlebruin - March 2, 2009
Years from now you'll all be telling your grandkids of the epic adventures of Reegie Corona
and how they brought life to a moribund city by parading their Spring Training World Domination Championship Trophy down Bell Road in Peoria. And your grandkids will gaze in wide-eyed wonder at pictures of the Heroes Of March.
pdb - March 2, 2009
I'll also tearfully tell them about how in 2024 the Mariners brought back Mr. March himself, Mike Morse
for one more spring training with the Mariners as a NRI in hopes that he could re-kindle the old magic and lead them to the Perfect Dream II ©

Some day it will come true / Spring training still belongs to folks like me and you /
So let the voice of Neihaus ring out through the landdddd / This is Springgggg Trainingggggg

Well instead of House today we get 24!
