I was just so amazed I got the reference at all I nearly wet my pants
Then the happiness all came crashing down when I caught up to the GT and found out I was LATE!! Fun game thought eh? This team might reset my doom and gloom meter, lord knows it needs it.
Last year he was fine until he pulled his groin (check out his splits by half) and his command has been at least average since coming here this spring.
I just feared that every pitch would either be miles out of the strike zone or be stroked.
Since he basically just gassed 95 mph fastballs the whole time. He got the job done but it was not the least stressful ninth inning I’ve ever experienced.
Hi!
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
How are you?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Good!
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
It's GLORIOUS in SoCal!
abender20 - April 12, 2009
YES!
it’s so weird how it can rain one day and be absolutely glorious the next
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
It was actually gorgeous here yesterday too, but Friday was "crummy"
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Well yeah, that's what I meant
it drizzled on Friday and traffic got so awful
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
It's shameful how poorly people react to the most minor volumes of moisture
abender20 - April 12, 2009
HI!
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
SHUDDER.
That was beautiful.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
I politely request that you
TAKE A FUCKING SEAT.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
So Erik Bedard is a pretty good pitcher
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
Yes.
Eyebrows - April 12, 2009
I give all credit to Rob Johnson. Nobody can score when he catches.
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Yes!
I just got home to see Beltre score. I hate to curse Easter, but the fact that I missed the first 6+ innings of this game is a shame.
katal - April 12, 2009
You didn't miss much, apparently.
Eyebrows - April 12, 2009
Except amazing pitching.
katal - April 12, 2009
I'll gladly curse it for you if you don't want to
Indigo_Satellite - April 12, 2009
it's probably much more fun to watch when you know we won't be no-hit
ermac - April 12, 2009
This is when having a baseball loving dad as the pastor is quite helpful
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
Let's go Erik
Make that one run count!
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
Jack Cust
Take a motherfucking seat.
JBell523 - April 12, 2009
So Erik Bedard is good after all.

Heydude - April 12, 2009

okdan - April 12, 2009
No reason for him not to at this point that I can see.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
I love how the A's just stack lefty after lefty
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009

Matthew - April 12, 2009

Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Well he's certainly been going for speed

Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
I was just so amazed I got the reference at all I nearly wet my pants
Then the happiness all came crashing down when I caught up to the GT and found out I was LATE!! Fun game thought eh? This team might reset my doom and gloom meter, lord knows it needs it.
Kermit. - April 12, 2009
Agreed, it was a helluva game
This reassures Seattle sports fans and brings them back from the edge a little. If nothing else I think we’ll be a fun team to watch.
I feel the same way about the reference. I thought I was part of something but it turns out that something was really down thread. Lousy thiefs!
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
In his time of need
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009

Kermit. - April 12, 2009
No chance.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009

He's all alone?
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
All alone.

All alone. In a time of need.

appleshampoo - April 12, 2009

khmer luge - April 12, 2009
This thread had more moxie.
ermac - April 12, 2009
You totally did.
But apparently you didn’t do it better.
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009

Shrug - April 12, 2009
Stick with him. The A's havent even come close to getting to him
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I think he's doing superbly, but he won't go nine.
Shrug - April 12, 2009
He's done enough.
I mean, why not?

BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
I don't want heart palpatations today, though!

cwel87 - April 12, 2009

Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
The best part about Wakamatsu is that he taught the players how to hit situationally. Something that chokejob McLaren never could.
joof - April 12, 2009
Or they're just hitting better
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Pfft! Like thats a solution.
joof - April 12, 2009
Since Morrow was in last night
Who comes in for the 9th, if Bedard can’t go the distance?
okdan - April 12, 2009
Morrow can't pitch back to back?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Stamina not up right now, may or may not be available, I'm actually not sure
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Aardsma, no?
Or Tits.
Eyebrows - April 12, 2009
It will be Morrow probably. Corco and Aardsma will pitch the 8th if Erik gets tired
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Morrow can pitch again he needs to learn to pitch 2-3 days in sucession. Also we have an off day tomorrow.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Truth. I guess he did get the first OAK game off...
okdan - April 12, 2009
Well, he warmed up in game 1, pitched game 2, pitched game 4, and pitched game 6.
He’s been up a bunch, and has not pitched much. I won’t fault him or Wak if he’s not used today.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
So is Bedard our best pitcher?
I’d still say Felix is due to his better stamina, but Bedard is not far behind.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Maybe
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
Possibly
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Perhaps
ColeFitz88 - April 12, 2009
Too early to say
Shrug - April 12, 2009
I like having both of them on our team
I won’t really complain about either
cwel87 - April 12, 2009

The fact that I can picture this so easily and clearly makes me a little sad.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
That's because his mountains just turned blue.

Real heartbreaker isn't it? Better let me hold those tickets for you while you shake off the disappointment

And you’re just now complaining about it?
Fuzz - April 12, 2009
I'm way behind
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Cedeno looks pretty pathetic with the stick
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I see Erik has been wonderful today.
Anything else exciting thus far?
BrianL - April 12, 2009
Branyan stole a base!
abender20 - April 12, 2009
No, really.
BrianL - April 12, 2009
Cahill had no clue
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
That's hilarious.
BrianL - April 12, 2009
Am I missing something?
C-Nage - April 12, 2009
We're winning
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Sweeney has put a couple nice swings on the ball
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Ah, take a pitch please.
okdan - April 12, 2009
Cedeno has consistently looked overmatched at the plate.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Russ Springer is 40!?
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Yes.
okdan - April 12, 2009
HE'S A MAN!
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Holy nastiness
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Why is every guy taking violent swings?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I'm surprised Endy doesn't hit the ball harder, swinging as hard as he does
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Endy!
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
Something is wrong with Springer's head in the gameday photo?
ermac - April 12, 2009
GIDP time!
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
That would be impressive.
BrianL - April 12, 2009

SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Symmetry does not care about the game situation
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
In the 8th?
joof - April 12, 2009
How the hell did Chavez hit that pitch
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
Yay unsustainable sucess!
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
There ya go Endy, that is your game. No need for the wild power swing
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
That was the slowest line drive I've ever seen
tootthekazoo - April 12, 2009
I'd never seen a seeing eye line drive before
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Endy Chavez is the best baseball player to ever live apparently.
joof - April 12, 2009
FACT
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
FUCK ENDY CHAVEZ
Fuzz - April 12, 2009

Oh Endy, you sure love to (hit the) ball!
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
My E Chavez is better than yours
ha!
MsinDC - April 12, 2009
I feel bad, but I don't like when Gutierrez is in there
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
BAHAHAHA
they have Ichiro’s jersey hanging in the dugout!
Is he like dead or something?!
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
They've had it hanging in there since the season started, since he's on the DL.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Proving how much everyone hates him in the clubhouse.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
He is selfish to take focus away from the games by having the team think about him while he is on the DL.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
I just think it's hilarious
he’s coming back, and it’s not like he’s gone for long
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Eh I think it's a nice gesture
since it’s killing him that he’s on the DL, it shows that they’re all behind him.
Eyebrows - April 12, 2009
I think he's felt them back there for awhile now.
Kermit. - April 12, 2009
First time EVER on the DL.
I think it’s appropriate.
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009

And since he has a .400 BABIP on 16% LD
compared to a .340 BABIP on 20% LD in 2006 I am going to come to the conclusion that this year’s Endy is even BETTER than 2006!
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
And oh yeah, he still rapes defense

okdan - April 12, 2009
Yeah, guys, I wouldn't count on Erik coming back in the 9th.
Insurance run would be nice though.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Nobody is warmed up yet.
okdan - April 12, 2009
I'd love to be wrong.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
ERIK XIV!
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Oakland had a lefty up, does Tui get his first PH appearance...?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Wooo!
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
Not gonna happen
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Given Bedard's 100 pitch limit, I've got a feeling that it's Morrowtime.
But then given Morrow’s 30-something pitches yesterday, it may still be Eriktime.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Who said he's got a 100 pitch limit?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Lowe!
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Quite a condundrum
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
I'd start Erik in the 9th with a pair ready to go in the pen.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
This.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Who says Bedard's on a 100 pitch limit...?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Was mentioned earlier by the broadcast. Not sure if that's official.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
Neihaus says nobody up in the pen
ermac - April 12, 2009
WOOO WOOO!!!
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
I like this.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Are they going with a righty against Griffey?
Gameday says Bailey’s coming in, a RHP.
Jack Moore - April 12, 2009
Yes they are indeed.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Griffey is freaking late on 90mph fastballs on the outer half.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
That pitch looked FAT
Jack Moore - April 12, 2009
Also, how about Kyle Lohse?
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
And Harang. He'll be nasty this year.
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
3-1, come on Junior!
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Griffey is gonna hit like .230 this yr.. at least he can still walk
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I'd say it's much more likely that he hits above .230, given his splits vs. RHPs in recent years and the fact that he will rarely face LHPs.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
He seems to be playing vs alot of lefties. Maybe that is why he doesn't have many hits. Hopefully
he’ll get a steady dose or right handers soon, and will match his numbers from the last couple yrs vs righties..
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Fuck
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I hate this ballpark.
BrianL - April 12, 2009
Oh lame.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Fuck that
IceStormV1 - April 12, 2009
Oh man, that was almost incredible.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Great catch.
katal - April 12, 2009
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
C-Nage - April 12, 2009
DAMMIT
tootthekazoo - April 12, 2009
Griffey!! Sheeeeeiiiiiiiteeeee. Dang
Kermit. - April 12, 2009
Mother fucking Sweeney.
joof - April 12, 2009
FUCK YOU OAKLAND COLISEUM
I thought he had that.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Only in the fucking Coliseum is that not a home run
Fuck this place
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
Flyball
in Detroit
Hit4TheCycle - April 12, 2009
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I thought he had it.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
Damn,
he just got under it.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Dang it, I wish our Sweeney had that kind of range.
Heydude - April 12, 2009
How the fuck did that not leave the yard
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Bad luck by association with Adrian Beltre
Malcontent1 - April 12, 2009
That was gone
in 1997.
TrashiDawa - April 12, 2009
Better way to think about it: That would've been gone in Fremont.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
AHHHHHH FUCK
okdan - April 12, 2009
If Griffey hadn't homered on opening day I would have just died.
Robert - April 12, 2009
DIE DIE IDE
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
German for the the the?
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
The the ide.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
My mind read it as three die's,
I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t said that.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Poor Griffey
phil333 - April 12, 2009
When Beltre smiles I am happy.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Me too.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
When Beltre reaches and poke pops out I am sad
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Somehow this is gross.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
I can see that, in retrospect.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
What kinda swing is that AB
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Nobody up in the pen?
The hell Wak? At least have someone ready.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
Yeah, this makes me exceedingly nervous.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
Confidence! Swagger! Lack of foresight!
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Sure, okay.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Is Bedard going to go nine?
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Si.
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
*crosses fingers*
I can’t get Pedro Martinez and Terry Francona out of my mind.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
You mean Grady Little?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Oh Graddy...silly, silly man.
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Yes. My fault.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
So I guess this was the Bedard that the Mariners traded 5 players for.
Fin - April 12, 2009
No one warming up.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
That's just stupid.
Why not at least warm somebody up?
esoteric - April 12, 2009
I hate one pitch Abs
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
That's not really Branyan's style.
That pitch was right down the middle though, you almost have to swing at it.
Jack Moore - April 12, 2009
Wow, I can't believe they'd let both Griffey and Branyan face a righty with a 1 run deficit.
Jack Moore - April 12, 2009
What? Sarcasm?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
You're thinking of lefties.
ermac - April 12, 2009
He's thinking of the A's
why didn’t they bring in a LHP
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Actually I think he's talking about Oakland.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
BEDARD!!
C-Nage - April 12, 2009
I AM WRONG!
Joy! Never, never last year would we have seen him in the 9th. I am so happy!
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
He did have a torn vagina last year, so we never really got to see him pitch at his best.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
They should have someone at least warm up.
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
Agreed.
JBell523 - April 12, 2009
I never thought I would see the day Erik Bedard pitched a complete game.
This is awesome.
Heydude - April 12, 2009
erm not happened yet
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
I don't know about it this early in the season, I know it's not 130 pitches or anything. Still makes me nervous
Kermit. - April 12, 2009
*attempt to
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Every game we can win in this fashion makes me really really really excited.
C’mon Erik. Do this.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
There should be two people warming up here, not none.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
He's been totally dominant
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
He also has a tendency to fall apart around 100 pitches.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
He's at 100 pitches, too.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Top of the order!
okdan - April 12, 2009
Maybe this is to give Erik some early-season confidence in his ability?
That’s about the only reason not to at least warm somebody up.
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
I'm all for confidence boosting.
But if Bedard gets into trouble we’re doomed.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Jail bait.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Yay hands team!
BrianL - April 12, 2009
DEFENSIVE REPLACEMENTS YES!
ermac - April 12, 2009
Defensive subs!
ColeFitz88 - April 12, 2009
That's a strike ump
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Solid defensive substitution
spikefriedman - April 12, 2009
I am nervous but excited.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
I love the defensive substitutions
pretty much every close situation. It’s nice to have a manager that understands that.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
WARM SOMEBODY UP
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Fuck not Aardsma
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
...Aardsma is good?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Aardsma is terrifying
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
For what reason?
Last year he was fine until he pulled his groin (check out his splits by half) and his command has been at least average since coming here this spring.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
I just feared that every pitch would either be miles out of the strike zone or be stroked.
Since he basically just gassed 95 mph fastballs the whole time. He got the job done but it was not the least stressful ninth inning I’ve ever experienced.
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
Aardsma warming up
Shrug - April 12, 2009
AARDSMA UP.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Oh mother fucker
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Oh, balls.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Oh god
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
Nice job Cedeno
kentroyals5 - April 12, 2009
A little late with Aardsma.
Better late than never.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
FUCKSTEAKS
abender20 - April 12, 2009
That's a double last year.
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
Dead meme
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Things that are true are not dead memes.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
Disagreed
Silva actually is rather fat
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Past tense on that one.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
He still weighs like 250.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
Last I saw he was portly but not obese like last year
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Things that are not on the official dead meme list are not dead memes.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
That's a triple with Raul in left
ColeFitz88 - April 12, 2009
yiiiiiiiiiiiiikes
spikefriedman - April 12, 2009
That's a triple with Raul.
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
That's a clear double with Raul in LF
Seriously media, defense matters.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
And a guaranteed .gif.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Damn it!!
C’mon Erik, now is not the time to show us your girl parts!
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
Bedard can do this. This is why we traded for him.
Not Loving Batista - April 12, 2009
Word.
angrybeltre - April 12, 2009
Nice piece of hitting
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I like how Ichiro's jersey is hanging up in the dug out.
Fin - April 12, 2009
In loving memory
ermac - April 12, 2009
It's kind of like when Gandalf died and came back even more powerful than ever.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Ichiro The White?
That’s totally racist
ermac - April 12, 2009
Bedard's laughing.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
I love this.
JonF - April 12, 2009
BEDARD JUST SMILED!!!!
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Erik finds this situation amusing
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Did Bedard just smile?
Heydude - April 12, 2009
Seeing Branyan rub Erik's shoulder makes me .... um... I like that.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Sick?
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Hawt.
joof - April 12, 2009
Bedard almost looks happy
I have a good feeling about this
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
I'm confident in Erik.
okdan - April 12, 2009
The Interview just laughed! Wonderful.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
COCKY SON OF A BITCH
I LOVE IT. Now finish this.
JBell523 - April 12, 2009
That smile is hilarious. It's a "Stop talking and let me pick mother fucker" sort of smile.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
pitch*
abender20 - April 12, 2009
Thank you A's. We'll take that
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
OK K right here.
C-Nage - April 12, 2009
And the 12 A's fans in the stadium go crazy
Shrug - April 12, 2009
HUZZAH!
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Wait wait wait wait what.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
I thought the A's didn't bunt.
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES
spikefriedman - April 12, 2009
Awwww....no.
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
okdan - April 12, 2009
Huh?
Aardsma in vs. Giambi? What what what?
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
WAIT WHAT
kentroyals5 - April 12, 2009
Do not make this move
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Why do I feel like he should stay?
But no
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
Aardsma in.
Uh-oh.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
What the fuck
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
NO LEAVE HIM IN
Lefty vs Lefty!
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Keep Bedard in there!
okdan - April 12, 2009
Wrong move.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Well done, Erik Bedard. Well done.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Yes. You deserve this one.
Not Loving Batista - April 12, 2009
Agreed. *Standing internet ovation
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
SHIT BALLS, KEEP HIM IN WAK!
okdan - April 12, 2009
Uh, why not let Bedard get Giambi.
Then go to Aardsma for Holliday?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Wow, at least wait til Holliday
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
He wants to stay in
Let him!
tootthekazoo - April 12, 2009
Where's Towlie?
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Giambi unFunk Blast coming up
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Aardsma? Really?
Damn it. I wanted a CG. I don’t understand this.
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
Spoke too soon about the complete game.
Go finish this Aardsma
Heydude - April 12, 2009
Bedard wanted that CG.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
He looked peeved.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Understandably.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
Whether or not the run scores...
Great outing by Bedard today.
IceStormV1 - April 12, 2009
Now I'm scared.
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009
I don't think Aardsma is bad but he's not left handed.
This makes no sense.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
So it's all gonna fall apart now, isn't it?
esoteric - April 12, 2009
I have a terrible feeling about this.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
I like Aardsma, but I agree.
WHY bring him in against the power Lefty
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
That was a bullshit hit to RF. Wasn't hit solidly or anything.
No reason to pull him out at all, let alone for a RHP against Giambi. If Giambi goes walk off right now I will not be surprised.
Zwakamatsu - April 12, 2009
Aardsma vs Giambi, Holliday, Cust.... you just blew the game Wak
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Please Aardsma! Morrow cost Bedard his last win, don't fuck him now.
abender20 - April 12, 2009
That has to be one of the worst situations to have bunted in
Yesterday, they let the guy have 2nd base, now they’re giving up an out for it.
Malcontent1 - April 12, 2009
It was not a one run game yesterday.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
He was just laughing!
People with tired arms do not laugh!!!
okdan - April 12, 2009
No TV
is morrow warming up?
angrybeltre - April 12, 2009
Nope.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
No
Matthew - April 12, 2009
No back to back apparently
spikefriedman - April 12, 2009
or no 6 of 7 days pitching
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
Oh Lawd.
JBell523 - April 12, 2009
Maybe the '100 pitch count' thing did it.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Someone rationalize this
only way I can would be if they walked Giambi, which would also be dumb.
Zack - April 12, 2009
WELL DONE ERIK GREAT PITCHING TONIGHT
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Yeah, sinking feeling coming on right now.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Helluva closer we have here.. Fucking guy can't even go back to back days
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
He pitched four innings in spring training and had a forearm strain.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Our games have been really fucking stressful in late innings so far
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
I'm nervous
phil333 - April 12, 2009
Stay positive stay positive stay positive stay positive stay positive stay positive
okdan - April 12, 2009
This is really bad.
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
Really. Fucking. Bad.
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
I
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
Sorry
What I meant to type was: As long as it’s not Batista, I’m fine
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
This cannot end well.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
All because Sweeney goes opposite field with a single? Why the fuck did we pull him
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
100+ pitches
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
He can't throw 5-6 more pitches?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
I don't love it, but the single wasn't the reason for him being pulled.
Aaron Campeau - April 12, 2009
Walk him and set up the GIDP with Holliday
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Why would you bring in a reliever to intentionally walk a guy though
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
Ask Ron Washington.
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
This is already going swimmingly
Kirsten Schlewitz - April 12, 2009
I hope the fact Giambi is 0-2 against Aardsma isn't the reason the switch was made
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
I would hope not, that sample size is not big enough.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
I hope he walks the guy.
That should be the least damage.
Fin - April 12, 2009
Aw, fuck.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Holliday is gonna hit a game winner. Seems fitting given his struggles this weekend
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Shut up
okdan - April 12, 2009
No.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
So is this Wak's first noticeably bad decision?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
I'd say 2nd
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
Or not.
SethGrandpa - April 12, 2009
I don't think it's that bad.
Matthew - April 12, 2009
Turned out fine.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Walking the World!
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
There you go.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Fucking crap, throw a damn strike you fucker
okdan - April 12, 2009
Hey. Strikes.
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
This is gonna amount to an intentional unintentional walk.
Shrug - April 12, 2009
Well, a strikeout's a possibility I guess.
Shrug - April 12, 2009
Same pitch as the first pitch fuck this ump
BRKLN M'S - April 12, 2009

BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009

JLProck - April 12, 2009
That was the most BS called strike ever, but I'll take it.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Doesn't Aardsma have a nice bendy thing?
Fett42 - April 12, 2009
Got to throw 12 fastballs minimum first
Kermit. - April 12, 2009

Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Why should we be dogging Aardsma at all at this point?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009

JLProck - April 12, 2009
Will you people please get over the Morrow bashing
He only pitcher 4 innings in ST, had a forearm strain, and has pitched in 4 out of the first 6 games.
Give him some time to build endurance.
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009
It was more of a questioning of Waka's call, not a bashing of Morrow.
I forgot about his lack of a ST. Thanks for reminding me.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
The ninth inning stomach ache is back again.

ewakio - April 12, 2009
Does he have another pitch?
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009

I remember a couple days ago he threw a little breaking pitch that really surprised me.
ewakio - April 12, 2009

EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Ok who forgot we had a good defense out there and thought we had Raul playing LF?
Anyone else?
Just me?
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
Anyone know our magic number??
ermac - April 12, 2009
We were no-hit through 6 innings.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
Not like we broke out or anything
We just got a timely run and pitched the hell out of today
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
Do you mind? We're getting our groove on here.
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
Shades of 2001?
2-0, 1-0.
cwel87 - April 12, 2009
CUSTRATED!!!!
khmer luge - April 12, 2009
Scot Shields - 19 pitches thrown, 6 strikes.
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
I am SO happy for Bedard, and happy that we swept someone in our divison.
Tuesday is going to be awesome.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
God that was a sweet sweet win
Great fucking game by Bedard, I’ll have to watch the archive later.
okdan - April 12, 2009
What are the odds that those bugs are LL's next dead meme?
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Man, I love 1-0 games.
So tense.
Jack Moore - April 12, 2009
Scot Shields is currently walking the world.
Mr_Nate - April 12, 2009
That sounds familiar.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
Hey Mike Lowell, fuck you. 2 outs, bases loaded for the Sox.
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
\YESSSSSS`
Robert - April 12, 2009
Lowell fucked up right there
okdan - April 12, 2009
Varitek lines out to end the inning.
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
For a second I thought Brad Adam was about to talk to Bedard
What a topsy turvy world it was in my head for a minute.
royalcurve - April 12, 2009
Bedard still couldn't top 100 pitches...
angrybeltre - April 12, 2009
Not his fault.
JLProck - April 12, 2009
True. And i'll take 90-something going into the 9th any day.
angrybeltre - April 12, 2009
But still.
Bendy thing please. Even if Gameday loves to/hates to is SSS.
Oh well I don’t care. SWEEP!
pmc47 - April 12, 2009
NOOOO ANGELS
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
Particularly well, Mike?
JLProck - April 12, 2009
So F'in lucky.
SOO many fastballs to Cust. Heart slowly returning to normal speed…
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009
Well that was incredibly lucky
I don’t want to see Bedard being taken out for Aardsma in that type of situation ever again.
JLC - April 12, 2009
Given Bedard's track record i'm fine with him being taken out after every 7th inning if he's still in
MsinDC - April 12, 2009
Mike Sweeney making fun of Balentien.
Wlad: “Hey, LET’S WIN THE SERIES”
Sweeney: “We already won the series. How bout lets sweep?”
Wlad: “LET’S WIN THE SERIES AND SWEEP!”
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
It is cute when they are winning.
Annoying as fuck when they are losing.
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
I wonder what the Locust get for WP?
mark sobba - April 12, 2009
I heard on the radio they went out to the pitcher's mound too.
So they were equally affecting each team.
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009
This is our biggest lead since August 2003.
Robert - April 12, 2009
This saddens me a bit.

It saddens me a lot

Rob Johnson on Bedard "He really trusts his curveball and knows it can be effective."
You hear that Felix? It’s ok to use offspeed stuff.
Willie Mays Haze - April 12, 2009
But Bedard is a sissy Frenchman who shaves his arms.
Felix got HO’S
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
18 scoreless innings for Johnson as catcher...
Rudy4three - April 12, 2009
Felix gets more bitches
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
We've won 4 in a row.
Never thought we’d do that this early.
ThundaPC - April 12, 2009
you accidentally
added the words this early to your post
Trenchtown - April 12, 2009
Bedard's curve makes Felix' curve look like shit though.
Ever since Felix hurt himself early one season…either last year or the year before his curve hasn’t been quite the same.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Reply fail.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
I want to dip my balls in the outcome of this game.
So great.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Vlad just shit on Oki.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
So one of the options for most surprising things of the year is that the Washington Nationals are winless.
And yet, one of them is not that the Cleveland Indians are winless. What?
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
Because the Cleveland Indians are not winless, moron.
esoteric - April 12, 2009
Yes, they won today, my bad...didn't see that yet.
I’d say them having only one win is more surprising than the Nationals having none.
BrettJMiller - April 12, 2009
We've been playing especially well against the A's since we took the drubbing in 2006.
Susheel Ramasahayam - April 12, 2009
Brian Fuentes could very well win the
’World’s Ugliest Dog" contest,.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Boston gets 1 runner on, no out.
Go chowdahs!
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Mr. Mutated Mitochondria is up to bat.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
...
…
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Boston picks up a run.
1 on 1st, 2 outs.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
And HEEEERE COOOOOME the RED SOX
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009
2 RUNNERS ON, 2 OUT, ITS ALL UP
TO JD MOTHAFUCKIN DREW
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
What was he waiting for?
That’s right down the middle.
marinerdan - April 12, 2009
Whoops a doodle.
appleshampoo - April 12, 2009
Wow. Ok.
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Angels win :(
andrewgolfsalot - April 12, 2009
Has Bedard's fastball always been low 90s?
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
He was once clocked at 47 mph as an 11 year old.
As a pro, yeah 93 ave.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Yeah but he was 90-91 all day
Not saying he wasn’t effective enough but I thought he threw faster generally.
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
Oakland's gun has been very slow, as far as we can tell
I’m not worried in the least
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
gameday said the same
But yeah, he certainly didn’t suffer from it so it’s probably nothing.
Mariner John - April 12, 2009
Gameday is using Oakland's setup though
seattlebruin - April 12, 2009
I've always recalled 90-92 mpg, touching 93
redwolf75 - April 12, 2009
Webb to the DL
Sad.
EnglishMariner - April 12, 2009
Someone better check on Goose before he tears out all his hair.
.Taylor - April 12, 2009
That curveball is a thing of beauty
