Shawn Kelley threw nine pitches in the strikezone and got two strikes out of it. Kenji Johjima comes to the plate and gets himself in a 1-2 count on three pitches out of the zone.
"Shawn Kelley threw nine pitches in the strikezone and got two strikes out of it. Kenji Johjima comes to the plate and gets himself in a 1-2 count on three pitches out of the zone."
It’s been interesting behind the plate this season.
Foul balls are not an official statistic of Major League Baseball so there is no record of who faced the most pitches/ hit the most foul balls in one plate appearance.
Baseball didn’t start keeping track of every pitch of every game until the late 1980’s. According to Bill James – noted baseball authority – Roy Thomas who played 100+ years ago supposedly hit 22 foul balls in one plate appearance.
More recently – and well documented – is Alex Cora who on May 13, 2004 hit 14 consecutive foul balls before hitting a home run.
Wonderful
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
Well that makes it sound bleak, Matthew.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Clearly Yuni needs to win this.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Promising start to this inning
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
SUCKANCOURT
chinn - May 1, 2009
Yuni=Hack
forte40 - May 1, 2009
Just keep swinging fat boy
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Wow, discipline.
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
Swing swing swing swing Swing swing swing swing Swing swing swing swing Swing swing swing swing Swing swing swing swing Swing swing swing swing
Matthew - May 1, 2009
Monkey punch this one out of the ballpark.
russak - May 1, 2009
WHERES RONNY
JI - May 1, 2009
Wak said tomorrow, I believe.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
NOT SOON ENOUGH
JI - May 1, 2009
If this game goes into enough extra innings, it might reach to tomorrow.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
I'm sure that's what he meant
JI - May 1, 2009
Getting closer.
ThundaPC - May 1, 2009
I find more members of this team hateful than I usually do.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
So who is taking bets on the number of Yuni walks at the end of '09?
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
7
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Optimistic.
AtomicGarden - May 1, 2009
Too many ;)
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
1
He’ll get hit by a pitch.
SethGrandpa - May 1, 2009
That wouldn't count.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
It should count for him though.
SethGrandpa - May 1, 2009
That's not a walk
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
I think less than 5 is entirely possible.
russak - May 1, 2009
He'll be out of the lineup if he doesn't get to 5
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Nothing seems to get Yuni out of the line-up
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
I'll honestly say zero.
And we are talking unintentional walks here I hope
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
Yes.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
What kind of fucking idiot would intentionally walk Betancourt?
seattlebruin - May 1, 2009
1 or 0 out, runners on 2nd and 3rd.. depending on who is after Yuni, it could happen
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2009/5/1/862331/5-1-open-game-thread-part-3#15143412
seattlebruin - May 1, 2009
Also, Ichiro always hits after Betancourt
seattlebruin - May 1, 2009
Ah good point.
Don’t know why I would think he would hit anywhere but 9th..
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
He's hit sixth this season.
Gutz has been at the bottom, which works just as well, burying worse hitters with some speed.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Kevin Jarvis?
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Wrong.
He should’ve already had one, but the ump called a strike on a 3-2 count.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
So.. that still makes zero right?
My math is bad
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
Yeah, but he won't go the whole season without one.
Unless he never plays again (wouldn’t be the worst idea).
But it’ll happen. He’s not a cartoon character.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
This is what would happen if Yuni was cartoon character
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
God fucking dammit Yuni.
BrianL - May 1, 2009
Good pitch to hit there nice job
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Worthless Cuban.
russak - May 1, 2009
Morrow?
forte40 - May 1, 2009
EAT MY COCK BUT NOT IN A SEXY WAY IN A CHOKE ON MY COCK IN A VIOLENT FASHION RAPEY SORT OF WAY
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
I second this
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
YES YES YES YES
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
That makes you gay as well.
JI - May 1, 2009
Its not gay if its rape
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
But it serves a practical purpose too.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
Totally fine
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
RAPE IS NOT ABOUT SEX IT IS ABOUT VIOLENCE
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
This is true.
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
I'm not actually a fan of raping
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
A dude is still sucking your dick so hide behind your rape barriers all you want
JI - May 1, 2009
There would be very little sucking going on in this context.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
They may not understand you ac, but I do.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
You want a man to touch your wiener
JI - May 1, 2009
Only to humiliate and inflict pain.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Excuses...
JI - May 1, 2009
You might have a better case if I didn't make myself look gay without remorse at least once a day.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Homo
JI - May 1, 2009
Well said.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
Betancourt is a gigantic, hairy cooter
JLC - May 1, 2009
Yay for swinging at balls!
faceplant_04 - May 1, 2009
That inning was gayer than a french horn
chinn - May 1, 2009
Honk!
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Gayer than Paris in springtime
chinn - May 1, 2009
Gayer then Coldplay?
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
Can an inanimate object be gay?
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Phanny-pack.
SethGrandpa - May 1, 2009
Les gai!
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Gayer than Paris in the the springtime.
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
Dude you're late as hell
chinn - May 1, 2009
Yeah, but you wrote it wrong.
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
Is Cedeno still out? I mean really.

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=87190497657
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Yes.
SethGrandpa - May 1, 2009
Fucking genius
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
It feels like the score is sooooo much more lopsided than it is.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
I'm terrified of this inning, anyone else?
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Betancourt sure isn't lazy about swinging at every goddamn pitch ever
JLC - May 1, 2009
They all look so good
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
the top of the 8th was terrifying to follow on mobile gameday. be more concise M's till i get to a real computer.
Robert - May 1, 2009
A let's go Mariners chant...I feel like we're in the Kingdome again.
Sadly, the feeble home crowd failed to fuel it and you could actually hear a “Let’s go Oakland” chant countering it.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
I see betancourt is still a fuck, no?
Robert - May 1, 2009
More of a shithouse
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Yes.
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
What are you French?
russak - May 1, 2009
FUCKING FRENCH FAGS FUCK YOU FREEDOME FRIES WOO

Nice Kelley.

I'm actually getting a stomach ache from watching this.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
yup
mark sobba - May 1, 2009
me too, but I think it is from the pizza and ice cream
forte40 - May 1, 2009
It feels like swine flu to me.
Sinking Away - May 1, 2009
That swing was Kenji-esque
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Sean Kelly is a sexpot
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
no he is a human being.
Robert - May 1, 2009
Whatever, sex cannon.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Russell is a thunderous muscle
Robert - May 1, 2009

Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
sexpoet?
Matthew - May 1, 2009
I thought they shut that place down.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Well, they're not getting my $5 then.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
SICK SLIDER
Decatur - May 1, 2009
Holliday seems like he might be a particular thorn in our side
Robert - May 1, 2009
Finally. Someone who can throw strikes.
(Also someone who throws something the umpire recognizes as strikes)
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Damn
Kelley is all up in Holiday’s grill
JLC - May 1, 2009
SEX ME KELLEY
BrianL - May 1, 2009

Filthy.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
I MADE IT
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Back from the land of banishment?
Matthew - May 1, 2009
Yeah I contacted the people who control the blockings and fortunately they didn't read the gamethreads
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Very fortunately.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
HOLY FUCK
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
God, I love me some Kelley.
russak - May 1, 2009
Sean Sexy!

Shawn Kelley = sick
forte40 - May 1, 2009
"Shawn Kelley threw nine pitches in the strikezone and got two strikes out of it. Kenji Johjima comes to the plate and gets himself in a 1-2 count on three pitches out of the zone."
It’s been interesting behind the plate this season.

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART, KELLEY

I fucking hate impressed people.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
Kelley makes hitters look silly sometimes.
apsve - May 1, 2009
What gaywads do we have coming to the plate?
chinn - May 1, 2009
Ichiro.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Ichiro-Endy-Sweeney
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Russ Springer
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
If Ichiro hits a HR the game will end
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
That is correct
seattlebruin - May 1, 2009
Nuh-uh.
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
I call bullshit.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
GRIFFEY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

SPRINGER IS A GOOD MATCHUP
JI - May 1, 2009
I want a walk-off IchiBomb.
BrianL - May 1, 2009
The M's have distributed their hits very evenly.
They even gave Yuni two.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Come on Chi Chi. Do it for us.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Or do nothing. Like that.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Ichiro is slow
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Fuck Giambi and his height
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Should've bunted
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Why not use Wlad here?

Kevman22 - May 1, 2009
Nope.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Too bad. It would make a lot of sense
Kevman22 - May 1, 2009
An Endy walkoff would be amazing here.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
But that will suffice.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
So they have actually outhit the A's tonight, right?
msb - May 1, 2009
Yes.

No, just getting a day off.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
DON'T FUCK THIS UP SWEENEY
WHAT IN GOD’S GREEN EARTH ARE YOU SWINGING AT?
JLC - May 1, 2009
Sweeney that swing was a moral failing.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
Good swing
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
Disagree
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Stealing would eliminate the possiblilty of a DP

gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Still three hitters away from anyone I have the slightest confidence in.

YOUR BAT IS SLOWER THAN THE RETURN OF YOUR SAVIOR
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009

This is the nail in the coffin for me
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009

Ugh

I hope you break your hip on the next swing.
russak - May 1, 2009
He doesn't like fastballs
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Sweeny is swinging like Happy Gilmore
looks like he’s running up to the plate and almost falling down.
SFMariner - May 1, 2009
Jesus. That looked like a strike to me.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
TAKE A WALK FOR ONCE
TRY IT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT
JLC - May 1, 2009
That's his third walk.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
Of the game.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
Out of five attempts.
Matthew - May 1, 2009

JLC - May 1, 2009
YESSSS.
That pitch looked good but hey the ump’s zone has been small all game
dbroncos31 - May 1, 2009
Lucky Sweeney.
Bring this one home King Awesome.

Well great, here comes another no talent hack.

Anyone who likes this guy is a fag.

Thanks ump!
Who complaining about Kelly’s calls now?
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Less swinging at curveballs please?
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Single to the OF wins it Adrian,
that’s all we need.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
How about a bunt?
That seems like a good call…
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Just don't GIDP
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
I think, and maybe, maybe this is just me but. But I think it is
Beltre homer time
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Once again it's just you

Well it was pretty fucking close.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
MAKE CONTACT ADRIAN
BrianL - May 1, 2009
He's never gonna hit a HR.
russak - May 1, 2009
A...single will suffice, sir.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Come on Ades
dbroncos31 - May 1, 2009
Damnit, stop swinging for the fucking fences
Indigo_Satellite - May 1, 2009
3 walks by Sweeney this game.

That's what the nickname was for the life of me I couldn't remember.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Not a popout I suppose
Indigo_Satellite - May 1, 2009
I thought that was it. Cocktease.
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
It couldn't be scripted any better
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
Steal home
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
Here's an obvious IBB
JI - May 1, 2009
Yeah, then Griffey time?
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
No
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
GOD I HOPE

Well, hell.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
rob johnson time?
superJAYdude - May 1, 2009
He's due
superJAYdude - May 1, 2009
YES. This team has a hitter that is feared enough to draw an IBB.
russak - May 1, 2009
Just let us win!!!!
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Lopez be the hero
Mariners116 - May 1, 2009
I SAY THIS WITHOUT IRONY
GRIFFEY TIME GODAMMIT
JI - May 1, 2009
I agree.
He would be patient too.
Matthew - May 1, 2009
you can't get him when you want him
forte40 - May 1, 2009
We have a LH power hitter that strikes fear in the heart of the opposition!
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Maybe they'll get confused and intentionally walk Lopez too...
Matthew - May 1, 2009
He'd swing
JI - May 1, 2009
HEY LOAFIE
A WALK WINS THIS GAME
BrianL - May 1, 2009
So why no Eveland?
Did both teams just agree to not use good pitchers tonight?
yuniform - May 1, 2009
And away we go.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
I believe in Jose Lopez.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
LO-PEZ! LO-PEZ!

Maybe something weird will happen.
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009

You're a genius.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009

gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Yeah, only one of these pitches has been bad, says Gameday.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Niehaus is crushing it right now.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Kelly's strike zone was 2x smaller.
ThundaPC - May 1, 2009
The Dodgers won 1-0 on a walk-off BB today

Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009

BrianL - May 1, 2009
That was also a ball
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Amazingly he's had worse at bats.
JI - May 1, 2009
That was also Ball 3
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
Stop swinging.
russak - May 1, 2009
THE LAST THREE PITCHES HAVE BEEN BALLS
THIS GAME SHOULD BE OVER
BrianL - May 1, 2009
The strike zone has been a fucking joke.
He has to protect.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Okay fuck you Jose
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
At least he's only fouling these off and not popping up
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
For fucks sake.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Blowers is giving him a lot of credit...
Decatur - May 1, 2009
So he's probably doing something wrong.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
God.
JLC - May 1, 2009
Lopez looks terrified.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
I think you guys can stop complaining
He’ll swing at anything close from here on out.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Or apparently anything within reach of his bat.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
FUCK YOU LOAFIE
BrianL - May 1, 2009
That was the forth consecutive potential ball
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
He has to make a mistake now
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
There's been at least 6 balls this AB
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
'Nother ball
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
HE'S THROWING NO STRIKES AT ALLLLLL
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Nice AB, Lopez, regardless of the outcome.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
This looks unpromising
Bearskin Rugburn - May 1, 2009

BrianL - May 1, 2009
DAMMIT JOSE.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
5 straight balls swung at
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
STOP SWINGING THESE ARE AT YOUR FUCKING HEAD
spikefriedman - May 1, 2009
THAT was one worth complaining about
d0nkey - May 1, 2009
My balls say this next one is a hit.
I have one signed by Morrow, and bite marks on the other on from Sec108.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
Ugh that one wasn't even close!
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
WHY WOULD YOU SWING AT THAT ONE?
tootthekazoo - May 1, 2009
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU ENDY
STRAIGHT STEAL HOME BECAUSE LOAFIE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ZONE LOOKS LIKE
BrianL - May 1, 2009
OH MY GOD HE'S GOING TO SWING AT A PITCH THAT HITS HIM IN THE NOGGIN
JLC - May 1, 2009
Oh my goodness
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Take the pitches near your eyes.
russak - May 1, 2009
All these pitches look like they are in the zone according to Gamecast
Toxicadam - May 1, 2009
False.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
NO
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Well, they are all being thrown somewhere near homeplate.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Only one has been far out. The rest are close.
SFMariner - May 1, 2009
Jesus at some point you have to accept these aren't strikes.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
STOP SWINGING AT BALLS
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
Six in a row
Now I just want to see how far this can go
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
I'm agree I've stop being nervous and am now throroughly amused.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
I'm surprise Springer hasn't wasted one away yet.
ThundaPC - May 1, 2009

Toxicadam - May 1, 2009
Don't think its close
Fett42 - May 1, 2009
9 now
Eyebrows - May 1, 2009
I think Nomar Garciaparra

The 1-0 walk off walk had a higher leverage index.
But it doesn’t sound as exciting.

Can’t be.

It was
Could be a turning point for the Ms…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
Considering that the Mariners are 5 games over .500 and 3.5 ahead in the AL West a turning point would be a bad thing.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
I mean a launching pad
FOR A LONG WINNING STREAK!
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
Dance Party.
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
Aw shit, Sweeney already defending Silva.
Wilder. - May 1, 2009
That's fine
when we’re winning, we’re better off with a happy clubhouse. Even if Silva is a horrible person and pitcher
seattlebruin - May 1, 2009
14 IS THE LUCY CHARM FOR JOSE!
YES!
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009

Wilder. - May 1, 2009
Fair enough
Still awesome, that was insane..
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
Nevermind, maybe it was 14.
Wilder. - May 1, 2009
There is NOTHING like a walk off. Absolutely nothing.
Man. That is a salve for the soul.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
2nd already this year
Opening day too…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
We earned this one though
BRKLN M'S - May 1, 2009
This coul dbe a real launching pad
For a streak…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
That will earn you a kiss from Mike Sweeney.

I see what you did there.
Mariner Melee - May 1, 2009
The look on his face was menacing when he said that.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
Now that would be quite a game to be at.
Fin - May 1, 2009
MARINERS WIN!
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
This team
Has officially got me hooked for the season.
Clown baby - May 1, 2009
Get a tournequet and join the rest of us.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
Hop on!
Tony S - May 1, 2009
This is do not understand.
Decatur - May 1, 2009
*I do not understand
Decatur - May 1, 2009
It's the bandwagon.
Wilder. - May 1, 2009
I think it is a bandwagon.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
I was hooked after the first series
When they fought the Twinkies and somehow got a split despite not playing great…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
So in case anyone is going to the game tomorrow I will be there.
I will be the guy with the M’s hat on. If you see me say hello.
I look like this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/marksobba/122463565/in/set-72057594097514369/
mark sobba - May 1, 2009

At least you will be able to turn back the clock!
Fin - May 1, 2009
Are you bringing her?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/marksobba/2700979594/in/set-72157606362681539/
Tony S - May 1, 2009
I think she's beautiful.
royalcurve - May 1, 2009
She is a hottie.
mark sobba - May 1, 2009
She is in Chicago at grad school.
mark sobba - May 1, 2009
I will actually be with my mom.
Baseball is our way of hanging out.
mark sobba - May 1, 2009
Do we het the same ump tomorrow as well?
Douchey umps follow the M’s around,
russak - May 1, 2009
Yes
But they’ll rotate who does which position, they set crews for each series…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
So basically, whichever base Jim Joyce is at tomorrow
any runner will have to put their foot on the precise middle, or else they’ll be called out
Indigo_Satellite - May 1, 2009
If he's at first, I think he might come to blows on one of Beltre's appeals.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
FUCK YOU CARLOS GODDAMNED SILVA -
EVEN YOUR SUCK CAN’T STOP US, YOU FRUIT. I WANT YOU STUFFED.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
Too late.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
never late enough.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
I think I just delivered it wrong.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
I believe you're right, but let's just celebrate.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
Celebrate by stuffing Carlos Silva?
I’m for it!
Willie Mays Haze - May 1, 2009
PARTY.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
This is how I would prefer to win every game Silva pitches.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
This is probably the only way to win games when Silva pitches.
Fin - May 1, 2009
Unless you win 3-2 on a bunt and throwing error.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Forfeit, with the other team becoming too exhausted to play from rounding the bases so much
Indigo_Satellite - May 1, 2009
This point makes me sad.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
YES YES YES YES
OlSalty - May 1, 2009
This new Pepsi Max ad: not as annoying as the last one
Still annoying.
yuniform - May 1, 2009
Silva:
Yet another reason I’m happy that idiot Bavasi is long gone….
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
Bavasi just did a nice job landscaping for me.
Then I kicked him in the fucking face.
kevin_ess - May 1, 2009
,
BWHAHAHAHA!
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Silva is an example of why tRA is better than FIP.
I cannot for the life of me accept that he is a anywhere close to a league average pitcher, or even slightly below league average.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
Russell Martin's walk-off walk was pretty epic as well.
Went 10 pitches.
Wilder. - May 1, 2009
6-3
In games decided by 1 run….. Not bad.
JBell523 - May 1, 2009
Reminds me of 2001
Really does, in a good way..
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
How could it remind you of 2001 in a bad way?
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
Al Martin?
Omerta - May 1, 2009
9/11?
Omerta - May 1, 2009
The ALCS?
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Dammit.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
Although our response to that
When we clinched was one of my best sports memories ever…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
There's only one November!
CapSea - May 1, 2009
Wait, ignore this.
CapSea - May 1, 2009
I was thinking solely in terms of the Mariners
And this season so far couldn’t really remind him of the ALCS
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
You never really know what's going on in someone's head.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Skywalker I think Omerta is accusing you of being crazy
gregrabble - May 1, 2009
I root for a team that didn't have a winning season
For the first lord knows how many years of its existence. If that’s not crazy, I don’t know what is..
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
We're Mariners fans, my friend.
I think we’re all a little off-kilter.
Omerta - May 1, 2009
Nothing can
Except the (expletive) (expletive) (expletive) Yankees. I just don’t want to jinx us by invoking 2001…
skywaker9 - May 1, 2009
Nothing about 2001 could possibly be a jinx.
Aaron Campeau - May 1, 2009
Fair enough
Best summer EVER!
