This team is murder to my blood pressure.
Same here, and I'm not even 20.
I cannot imagine what September will be like if we stay in contention.
You and me both brother
I'm beginning to realize there is no point in watching the first 8 innings of Mariner games
except then I can't see how we've possibly only allowed 1 run on 11 hits
At least it's an interesting season

Though I’d like some more blowout wins

So does this mean you're expecting extra innings?
So you are watching
Let's do this M's! Error + bunt + blooper = WIN! DO IT!!!!!
On the plus side

The Rangers just had an inning as frustrating as our last chance was yesterday. Rangers fans everywhere are cursing.

If Kelley was closing this game would be so boring.
Boy that was some witty comment I made just as the thread closed.
I missed it. Do tell.
Holy shit.
This will be so retarded if we win
Hits:

11 to 1 so far

Walks:

3 to 1, we’re ahead. Flabbergasting.

I'd hate to be Kinsler if the Mariners win this one.
I'd love to be Ian Kinsler.
I'd hate Kinsler is the Mariners win this one.

Or lose.

I can't believe we're being outhit 11-1
Really?

You can’t?

We were bound to get a hit eventually
We've already got one

so we’re fucked

Wait

did he just bring in the guy that got cut by the Nationals?

I hate baseball so much

At least last year was relaxing

Last year was horrible. This is fun, stressful but fun.
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS FUN
GRIFFEY PH WALK-OFF
YES YES YES YES
Except Wak doesn't do that whole pinch-hitting thing
Well, it's not the best think in the AL.
That was tons of luck

WIth anti-control like that I don’t blame the Umpires for giving him the suck-on-it of the doubt.

Submariners frighten me
They shouldn't

The Mariners are much better

Darren O'Day?

It’s the bottom of the 9th and the Rangers turn to a guy who was DFA’d two weeks ago. By the Angels.

Watch him shut us out.
This is Mariner logic.
We're the home team, duh.

They have to use our logic.

And it's working!
As long as he's still right handed...
O'DAYYYYYY O'DAY O'DAY O'DAY

O’DAY O’DAYYYY

Nick Adenhart was DFA'd by the Angels a few weeks ago and he wasn't a terrible pitcher
Ha-HA
Wasn't Gameday Premium supposed to come with MLB.tv Premium?
Pretty sure it does.

Just log in.

I'm logged in and watching MLB.tv Premium right now

but no gameday

You have to log into MLB.com as well.

Click on one of the blue “Premium” words and it’ll give you a login prompt.

Does for me and I don't have MLB.tv Premium
God damn it Ichiro
One hit by Vincente fucking Padilla.

So, are Clement and Ronny Cedeno on fucking milk cartons yet?

GOD.

And that was Loafietime
It's Darren O'fucking Day. Come on guys.
what
Nice AB Yuni, I mean Lopez
Nice AB, Lopez.
No lucky pop fly for a hit for Meat Loaf today.
Again:

IT’S DARREN O’FUCKING DAY DO SOMETHING ASSHOLES

How many one run games in a row is this?

5?

This could easily not be a one run game.
We scored five runs last night
that's nice
Oh wait I get it.

Whoops-a-doodle.

Too soon to say that.
12/26 one run games, plus two 2 run games.
So what happens if Sweeney hits a walkoff?
The internet will explode
I shit my pants.
A moral victory for veteran grit
If Sweeney can get on the Muscle will win this
It was always going to be a big if.
I really doubt they let O'Day face him
There's Kelley!
My new Broberto blingee probably won't help for a rally.
I don't follow.
Post it anyway
Never know if you don't give a spin!
No way, man. I'll just look at it and cross my fingers.
Share share share please please pleeeeeeeeeze!
Check your email.
NOT AGAIN
Well, I don't think this one is going 15.
Why not?
Texas can hit.
So can we
WE CANT HIT SHITTY PITCHING
TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Shawn Kelley yay!
Curse you, Andrus.

Curse your excellent range and slick fielding.

And your youthful, innocent laughter.
Can we get Jon Daniels really smashed and convince him to trade us Andrus for Yuni?
Free baseball time.
Maybe the M's can hit the free baseball better than the paid one?
I've got to be at one of these games! I love extras in the stadium, better still a day game!
I'm pretty pissed I skipped on this one.
Fuck you Sweeney.
WE HAVE 1 FUCKING HIT.
And I don't really think we've come particularly close to getting a second one
I want to kick our offense in the nuts.
Extras!
Well crap
Wow, that's a shock, he got through the inning in 10 pitches.

GOD.

OH GREAT NOW I REALLY NEED TO GO TO BED AND THIS HAPPENS
There had better be a fucking Shawn Kelley sighting here
Sounds graphic
Hope they keep O'Day in for next inning

I have a feeling Beltre would do ok with him

You know if our offence and run prevention didn't take alternate days being appalling maybe games would be less fucking stresstastic
I hate this new Rangers-play-defense thing.
Where is Matt Kata?
You have to admit it's pretty easy playing defense against us.
Remember when we had guys who could hit?

Bone, Gar, A-Rod, Grif….wait…

Thisisnotaonehitterthisisnotaonehitterthisisnotaonehitter
Im getting frightened thinking about the future of the Rangers.
Can't wait for the epic Silva-Poson matchup. Wow.
Every single MLB game going on right now is tied.

Granted, all the others are in the first.

Red Sox just scored
So did Pittsburgh...

Detroit, Cincinnati and Texas.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK NOW
Is Cordero ready yet?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
thank god its not his arm
Oh this is just lovely
FFFFFUCKKKKK
Oh shit this is the good Shawn isn't it
Yes this just gets better and better!
WHY DO THE BASEBALL GODS HATE US SO MUCH!
We are in first place....
You're in first place. Shut up.

They hate the Angels, clearly.

You have won a world championship, so at least they've liked you in the past.

But point taken for this year.

Get back to me when the Mariners (or for that matter, Seattle) actually win something
Just saying the Mariners can't even claim top bitching rights about injuries in their own division.
Fair enough.
Oblique?

Please no

Can anybody watching on TV tell me what happened?
Torn oblique
How can you tell?
Watch where he grabs
Yeah, that really looks like an oblique injury

Usually those take months. Fuck.

Hard to tell
WHAT JUST HAPPENED
Kelley is super hurt
NO NO NO NO NO
It looked like he was shot
Was he hit by a liner?
Bring in Batista.
Is that Zdurenciek
Let's get Starkers
Shawn Kelley is injured...
Please explain.
Shawn Kelley's arm just came off

and he’s gushing blood out of the stump and it’s really making a mess for the groundskeepers. They have to reform the mound now.

You're a bad person
Well, as long as they freeze it...
The Ministry of Silly Walks has walked into the Black Knight :(

Jason Bay just humiliated Joba
Doesn't Joba usually humiliate Joba?
I think his mom usually humiliates him
WTF happened

How and why and WTF OH DEAR GOD KILL ME NOW

Yay! Now the failed prospect is gonna come in and lose the game!
Well, once again, God pees on us.

First Lowe, now Kelley. :(

I hate that fucking dog.
If it weren't for God we would have already lost.
USE THE SUBJECT LINE!

AHHHHHHH!!

I can imagine seeing you on a street corner on December 20th 2012
Where's Jamie Burke when you need him?
How badly is Kelley hurt...
OH GOOD, IT'S TIME FOR DENNY'S.
No TV Here.

What happened to Shawn? What’s hurt? How? Just pitching?

From what I heard on the radio feed

He collapsed after throwing a pitch, and was clutching his left side. Possibly an oblique injury.

Carted off or walked?
Walked off, but Niehaus made it clear he was in obvious pain.
Walked. But needed a few moments to sit and collect himself.
Yeah

The pitch previous, he stepped off and walked around, kinda stretching funny. The ump even stepped to the side. Then he toed back on, pitched and fell over. could be a hernia or something. He was limping as he walked off. Groin? Hip? who knows.

Thanks for the details Benne, sammy, and 88.
Glad he tried to pitch through it!
Yes

Very gritty of him.

DENNY STARK????? YOU'RE JOKING ME
Denny is STARK RAVING AVERAGE
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh

Sports bar / no sound, what happened?

Hooray it's Denny Stark
Kelley was rubbing his hip after the second pitch.

On the third, he immediately collapsed in obvious pain, grabbing around his left hip area.

WHERE IS SCRAPPY???
Looked like he knew he was hurt and kept going

Hope he didn’t hurt it worse than it would’ve been with that next pitch.

What was hurting him?
Im stuck listening to the Rangers broadcast.

They are very angered by the disparity in hits. Yet a 1-1 game

This makes me feel better
Well, Kelleys never gonna be the same after this,
He'll be back in business in 2011
Not his arm

not his arm, not his arm, not his arm

AT LEAST JOBA IS GETTING BUTT FUCKED
Shouldn't you say, Buggered?
Kelly went down like this:

http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/6494/1241326416475.gif

NOB
Oh its painful to be an Englishman right now!
Meh, I couldn't care less about Hatton.
I should have just posted it directly

I enjoy watching this repeat
It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Like a Branyan funk blast, or an Ichiro single.

Rec'd for accuracy
Time for one of our patented 7-game losing streaks!
Dude, we haven't even lost yet
Why do you think this?
This image is cheering me up

Oh my girlfriend love pugs

I do not see the resemblance though.

PITCH THROUGH PAIN YOU GIRL
Does this mean Bedard has to give up the Girl Parts nickname?
Sheesh.

Walk away and all hell breaks out.

Could the kids stop doing the wave?

Oh yay, this game is still going.

An Kelley injured. Good grief.

HEY PITCH DOWN IN THE ZONE PLEASE BEFORE YOU RUIN MY NIGHT
Did Kelley hurt his arm? Or what happend there?
Oblique
Christ. He was really establishing himself as the second best arm in the pen
Looked like a side muscle, oblique

he tweaked it on the pitch before and looked really uncomfortable, then dropped like a sack of potatoes on the next one

I felt that it was more of a hip, groin thing

Do oblique injuries make you limp?

Yes
Well

There you go then. Thanks, I’ve never had one of those before. The others – to which I can attest – also make you limp.

Balls I thought we had Jayson Stark.
Young bomb.
"You traded me for Cirillo. Sabotage time, assholes."
"I had to play in Coors Field 'cuz of you."
Sweet.
Stark doesn't just pitch to contact

He pitches to Ichiro… Brilliant!

Lets keep the ball in the park please.
Denny Stark has the whole

hard line drive right at a fielder thing down. Seems sustainable.

These guys are getting good swings off this doofus
Hopefully Kelley recovers since the last time our relief ace went down it was Mark Lowe.

But Lowe had surgery on his arm and Kelley has a problem with his Oblique/Back/Side so hopefully he isn’t out for long.

Back spasms?
Colon Infection?
Why the hell was that guy in the Rangers jersey standing and clapping after a flyout?
Denny Stark is pitching and he knows a win is inevitable?
This can't go well
Andruw Jones seems less fat
Every ball hit hard.
Why is Wlad playing on the warning track?
Aaaaand our bullpen's 2-out dominance continues
In fairness to Stark. Outs 1 and 2 were tatooed
Balentien playing at the wall. Nice.
HI I'M DENNY STARK AND I LOVE GIVING UP LINE DRIVES BECAUSE I'M AN ASSHOLE WHO SUCKS AT BASEBALL
13 hits
1 run
We surrender.
Take Morrow off th DL and throw him in.
Oh, this is going well.
I HATE BASEBALL
Oh good.

Game is almost over.

Game. Series.

Night.

FUCK YOU Stark.
god dammit
Hooray!

We lose!

Yes, Denny Stark sucks.
It's like a recurring damn nightmare with this bullpen lately

Two outs and then a fucking disaster

To be fair, it was pretty disastrous during the first two outs two

a long flyball and a warning track line drive.

You can tell the Rangers haven't been in contention in years.

There play by play guy is going nuts

Choke on a dick Denny.

On the other hand, Wlad has quite a gun.

Seriously.

Fuck.

Denny Stark is still not very good
Oh God so we have to choose between:

Kahn/Gaby Hernandez/Luis Pena/Vega/Thomas/Olsen to replace Kelley unless we call-up a position player if Kelley goes onto the DL.

That second option sounds good
We should call up a position player
If only we had a LH bat in our minor league system who was at least a ~ MLB hitter.

Even if he sucked at a defensive position where we’re playing complete sacks of crap.

I'd take Olsen.

Better than Stark.

Call up a position player and go with 11 pitchers? Yeah like that'll happen
Is anybody on the waiver wire right now?
Not too bad a trow by Balentein
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was really hoping Denny Stark could be a warm fuzzy smile story, but nope
DFA Stark. Everything is smashed off of him.
I WOULD FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT THIS IF OUR OFFENSE DIDN'T HIT LIKE LITTLE, LITTLE GIRLS
This sucks.

Time for another comeback.

5 straight line drives
So, where's that Josh Fields asshole?
Playing third base for the White Sox.
That one also probably pitches better than this cockknuckle.
Fuck this.
Can someone remind me again why Denny Stark is on the major league team?
Remember Sunday!

Rangers == A’s

Needs more rally rash
If there's one thing we don't lack for,

it’s bullpen-depth.

If you define depth as having

an unlimited supply of mediocre guys pulled off the scrap heap, then yeah

Fuck its Cruz.
Hello

My name is Denny Stark and I’M A BUTTFUCKING BRADY BUNCH

He looks more like Eric Stoltz to me.
Fastballs right down the middle are not a good strategy against the Rangers, Denny
It's torture watching this guy pitch.
Weeeeeee....
Fuck you Yuni...
Oh good.

We’re definitely not winning this game.

On the plus side, I think Yuni has gotten himself cut.
Oh hey, another Yuni gaffe.

In other news, the sun rises in the east.

Holy shit we have 1 run on 1 hit. They have 3 runs on 15 hits.

I haven’t been watching, but this is DEFINITELY a game we deserve to lose. Texas must have like 30 LOB

Rangers announcers

“In Betancourt’s defense he has a library of spectacular plays”

Maybe he could watch them and learn something.
Ha ha, they made a funny.
All of them were made in 2005 though :(
And much like a library, most of those plays are very old.
Must be an awfully small library if he keeps it in his defense.
They obviously haven't uptaded their library since 2005.
Ummm

I guess that’s true, considering it’s probably possible to download copies of all the ESPN web gems from somewhere

Even if that were true

it still wouldn’t make sense.

"Spectacular" doesn't necessarily mean "good"
They should realize that most of those came when he wasn't fat.
He's not really fat he's just fucking lazy.
His face is like a melon, okay
I believe I sawe that Yuni's favorite food was ice cream on a scoreboard, once.

I wasn’t surprised.

Sure, from 2005.

The last couple of years, not so much, unless you consider Derek Jeter-style waves at balls up the middle “spectacular”.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Did Yuni botch that? I missed it
No.

He couldn’t do much with it.

He didn't have a play.
If he had made it it would have been a good play

But you probably couldn’t expect him to make that play.

No Andrus play for Yuni
Branyan/Beltre back to back HRs please...
Didn't seem like a bad play by Yuni.
15 hits to 1 hit

I’m not watching this fucking shit anymore

FUCK THIS I QUIT YOU STUPID FUCKING MARINERS
ME TOO
LET'S GET DRUNK AND SWEAR FO NO REASON INSTEAD
more Mariners for me
DFA THIS ASSHOLE
And sterilize him so he can't reproduce and produce future Mariners to get knocked around!

Wait, what?

So if JArrod Saltnefefbehfb hits a GS I'm outta here.
Have a nice day, then.
This game is a booger.
The Denny Stark Experiment is over.

Back to Tacoma, sent Olson our way.

Stark has no business being up here
And it continues!
This is a multi-year rebuild

Bavasi left essentially zero lefty bats in this organization despite a ballpark that destroys righties… Today is the day the canary sang in the coalmine…

YEAH SEASON OVER WE LOST A GAME FUCK IT EVEN IF WE ARE IN FIRST PLACE FUCK THIS I'M NEVER WATCHING ANOTHER MARINERS GAME AGAIN
dude calm down it's only one game
FIRE ZDURIENCIK BLOW IT UP THIS FRANCHISE IS HOPELESS.
Michael Saunders.
I don't think your using that reference right.
If the canary is singing in the coal mine, that means that all is well and the air is reasonably safe.

If the canary dies, that’s when you start to worry.

idk why wak brings in these guys with the game on the line.

like having batista in with the game on the line vs oak.

We needed somebody to eat innings and we were out of pitchers vs Oakland?

This time I have no idea

we had vargas. one would think batista would be the absolue last option.
Vargas hadn't pitched in the majors yet

Sort of an unknown commodity- I would have gone with Batista too

The ump wants to go home
No shit

Strike 2 was NOT a strike

And ball 2 was a strike

So I guess we’re even now.

I can't blame him. I want to go home and I'm at home already.
Im getting sick of this little fuck Josh Lewin (or whatever his name is)

That little bitch is getting cocky about his precious little Rangers finally being a remotely respectable team.

My first game ever at Safeco...

Wow look what Denny Stark did.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN DENNY STARK HOW HAVE YOU BEEN

Whoa.. Halama, Cloude, Stark, and Paniagua..

Memories

Don't forget Joe Table!

Yayyyy I got to see him in person!

It would be fucking hilarious if the M's came back and won this

on a bunch of ‘Matt Kata’ plays. I miss Matt Kata

I do not look forward to playing our remaining games against the Texas Rangers
2R, seems a whole lot worse.
It's going to be heart breaking when we fall out of first place again.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
DENNY STARK WAS CALLED UP WHEN MORROW WENT DOWN? WTF WTF WTF???!!!?!?!
Well then, time to turn this clusterfuck off
Nice call SB
Much better.
AHAHAHAHAHA!
THERE WE GO!
YOU CAN PUT IT ON TE BOARD

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Fucking Fuck it all to Fuck
Later, Slurvey.
hahahhaahha. Saltamachia? Please tell me Stark = DFA
That's pretty funny.
Are you kidding me?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Denny Stark, laides and gentlemen.
So I'm thinking Stark sucks.
Ron Washington. Sit down you clown.
Fuck this game.

Denny Stark can go to hell. Im out.

I hope Stark needs more Tommy John surgery.

I mean come on…

He needs Tommy John surgery to detach his face from his nutsack
I feel much better now.
Ok I just jinxed us so I'm gonna leave.

So if JArrod Saltnefefbehfb hits a GS I’m outta here.

I love rooting for this team
FREE GARRETT OLSON
My balls. Oh shit my balls.
I blame my blingee
fucking baby back bullshit
Fuck the Rangers and their powerful lineup.
I really hope we somehow win this
Can we trade him for Cirillo again?
This hurts the ol' pythag
To top it off, I think Kelley is due for the loss

Fuck you Denny Stark

Maybe they should've changed pitchers? Nah, that's crazy
Nope.

Denny Stark was clearly the right choice with a 1-1 tie in extras.

DENNY STARK IS A FUCKING FAGGOT
Might as well have him pitch his arm off

Before they DFA him

What a miserable effort
Time for a 1, 2, 3 inning so we can quickly go into mourning.
i have a 100% fuck stark expectancy
It would suck to work your way back to the Majors after all that time only to realize you still don't belong there
We only need a grand slam and a two run homerun to tie this up!
Well, Denny, if you're going to do that

You might as well let them bat around.

GOD.

I leave for 10 minutes, and WHAT
So it's YOUR fault!
I'm never missing a game EVER
6 runs with 2 outs
So, will we still be above .500 by this time next week?
What a crappy series

With Felix and Bedard going, there’s no reason we shoudn’t have swept the Rangers. Gah.

Welcome to "this really is a ~.500 team!"

Population: Seattle Mariners. Enjoy your stay!

Time to do a big trade with Tacoma.

To Tacoma:
Denny Stark
Yuni
Batista
Silva
Rob Johnson

To Seattle:
Garrett Olson
Andy Baldwin
Jeff Clement
Chris Woodward
Eric Hull

Tacoma would never take it

Even if we agreed to eat salary

Though I would love to see Phat Andy up in Seattle
Z's going to have to work his magic.

I agree, tough sell.

Rosterbation.

That will never happen. That’s about as likely as one of AK1984’s Weaver, Sexson, Batista for A-ROD proposals.

I know, it's just a dream.
Callbacks like this are best left to people who were around and posting at the time it occurred.

Otherwise you come off as a party-crasher.

Sorry. I was just angry in general and I thought the trade explained itself. I'll keep that in mind.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT RUSS LEADS OFF.
Not even Russ Branyan can save us now :(
OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH
Carlos Silva starts tomorrow.
Branyan with a lead off 6 run funk blast!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have church giggles

The priest touched you there too?
I laugh so I don't cry.
Oficially an Oblique strain

He’s out for months.

It's an Oblique strain.

Just confirmed.

LATE HAHAHAHAHA YOU FAGGOT!
Huh?
So Stark has a -.497 WPA...
wow...I didn't know they went that high for pitchers
They go that low but I don't think they can go that high
And I figure 0% odds of being on the roster in about an hour.

Since the bullpen’s kinda shot right now, might as well DL Kelley and send Stark back to Tacoma.

Rizzs says Kelley has an oblique strain.
Dave Simms thinks Lats are Obliques
What's our win expectancy now?
Still 0%
Check. Now at 1%
How bout now?
2%
How bout now?
OMG it just jumped to 300%
I call bullshit
What is it really at?
Pi
Is it really 3.14 or are you just saying that?
How hard is it to get a straight answer around here?
It's about as hard as drawing a walk.
The walk that Robert Johnson just drew seems to a lot easier than getting a answer out of you
Ok, it's harder than getting a consistent strike zone
What the fuck is the win expectancy you little bitch
I can't take another beating.
It's 0% right now
It was 1%

Happy?

Why would I be happy after the Mariners lost?
Wonderful timing on that double
AHAHAHA DOUBLE!
Where was this last inning?
Beltre still has no HRs.
Denny Stark - SO WHAT?
Not like we needed this an inning ago.
why couldn't we do this the last 9 innings
Here we come!!!!
WE GOT THIS
SEASON BEGINNING
KEEP GOING M's KEEP GOING.
Thanks for getting hurt Kelley
Seriously.

What a dick.

Yay we're at 1%WE!
And Yuniesky is currently the tying run.
That's impossible! It was 100% in the Rangers favor last half inning!
Now we've got a 1% chance of winning!
You nimrods better not make this a 1-run game.
I would take 8-7
Do we send Stark back out for the 8th?
I mean 11th.
He'd give up the 8th run if we send him out.
Come on guys! We can do this!

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!

That GS kinda hurts now.
They usually do hurt
Francisco would have been then
"Rob Johnson's on deck"

My heart: “Oh fuck this”.

Are we sure Rob Johnson isn't Scrappy?
TAKE TAKE TAKE
I just got home a short while ago

:|

Balantien's approach is once again excellent, despite the result.
I don't like him swinging at that trash he swung at 2-0. That was ball 3 for sure.
True. But he's still miles ahead of most of our hitters.
Yeah other than that it was a nice AB and I'm enjoying watching what is hopefully a real improvement.
6 more doubles...
Yay Bob Johnson
Good thing Wlad swung 3-1 with a 5 run deficit

High IQ on these M’s…

Do you think the asians or black ones have a higher one?
He swung at a belt high pitch in his wheelhouse.
I woner if I have a wheelhouse.
<3s are in your wheelhouse.

<3

Mariners' don't have wheelhouses

They have bonerzones

(not a good thing)

We should probably consider calling up Steven Shell
Oh darn

they actually know how to change pitchers. We’re screwed.

Okay, this is highly unnecessary.
Pitching change for Rob FUCKING Johnson?

I hate you Ron FUCKING Washington.

They don't like the matchup
Has he ever seen Rob Johnson before?
Washington's just trying to piss off M's fans.
It worked.
Why bring your closer in with a 5-run lead and the bottom of our lineup up?
So it's 7-2 and it doesn't really matter

but can we get Wak some healthy position players so I can go ape shit on him the next time he decides not to pinch hit for Rob Johnson?

Yes, this clearly calls for a pitching change.

IT’S ROB FUCKING JOHNSON.

I like how the Schik Shadel guy sounds like he never actually quit drinking.
Hey!

Pat O’Day is awesome!

If my eyes are to be believed he never did.
Fucking serious?
COME ON ROB! MAKE 'EM SORRY
Maybe Francisco won't be available tomorrow and they'll lose. That'd be funny.
All we need is a Ichiro! GS to tie it!
+ a Lopez solo FB!
Ichiro for the tie, Loafie for the win?

I’ve read this script.

Our catcher is a better bunter than your catcher
now since Laird to traded....
WHY THE FUCK IS ROB TRYING TO BUNT
BECAUSE HE'S GOT WHEELS
Maybe he didn't see that 6 RUNS SCORED!!!
Rob Johnson calls a terrible game.

>: (

He was too busy checking his CERA
It's his way of brown-nosing the coaching staff for more playing time.

Damn it why can’t Clement kiss ass like this.

He kissed the asses of the entire coachings staff's wives.
WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK
FUNK WALK!
Just fucking lose dickheads
Hillarious outcome.
Good so we're going to pull within 1 run and lose again
Not swinging is a good idea for Rob Johnson
Agreed. Walking is fine by me.
This inning seems like a good time for a Yuni-walk, too.
I hope Rob Johnson gets picked off
WHY ARE WE BUNTING
Showing bunt when you're taking is not the same as bunting.
That's what I'm wondering, we're down by 5, not 1.
John Lackey is pitching against Tacoma today.
Can we get the guys down there to charge the mound?
God why are umps so fucking terrible
Well you deserved that one Gutz

have to factor in that the umpire is totally incompetent

Oh my god Lopez is going to win it again
Wow, now this ump is giving them all the calls.

That’s great.

Strike 3...
THOSE ARE STRIKES
EVERY SINGLE ONE
Are those strikes? Really?
GOD DAMMIT GUTZ
That was a strike?
Fucking Bullshit
Thanks, ump.
If Yuni hits a home run I reserve the right to laugh
The ump wants to go home
Wow so not fucking strikes
I hate umpires so much
UTTER horseshit.
New game

Every pitch Yuni takes take a shot

It would take a decade for me to get drunk :(
Not a bad idea.
But we want to drink
But I want to get drunk. That's the worst drinking game ever!
You could be a DD and play this game!!
Every strike he takes, you dirnk. Every ball he swings at you drink.

There you go. Shitfaced by the end of the game.

UMPIRES > DENNY STARK still

but baaaarely. Jesus Christ what is this

Hey Yuni that was a ball
So was that. Why are you swinging at balls!?!
Not that I trust the "tracer"

but none of those were strikes. What did gameday have to say?

4 balls - 1 borderline, two just off borderline, one obviously outside.
Fucking stupid god damnit asses and butts.
GAME OVER.

Good.

We're still in first place I guess...
Until Silva day.
NEAR THE FENCE!
Alright, so Denny Stark is going to released now, right?
Probably sent back down to Tacoma.
That's just taking up space.

He’s basically Silva.

He wasn't doing too bad in AAA, but as we saw today, he doesn't belong in the big leagues.
But it's not as if he's going to get any better.

Just release him and sign some other free agent.

If we can find somebody who's big league ready, I'm all for it.

Otherwise, I don’t mind seeing Stark in AAA.

Just to tease us!

Goddamn it Yuni. God. Damn. It.

FUCK YOU YUNI

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU I WOULD NOT PISS ON YOU IF YOU WERE ON FIRE I WOULD NOT STOP FOR YOU IF YOU WALKED IN FRONT OF MY CAR I HATE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD AND I JUST WANT YOU TO GO AWAY

Would you piss on him if he were not on fire?
You're going soft, ac.

Don’t let him off so easily.

Do you think he would take pitches if you threatened his life? With a gun?
No. He chases when he's flustered. Counterproductive.
But then you could justifiably shoot him
The one positive I've taken from these games is that Yuni continues to blatantly suck in every facet of the game

If the FO/coaching staff doesn’t realize that he’s freaking awful than they are idiots and we are boned anyways

I want Robot Umpires!
On the plus side, EriKKKKKKK walked no one and gave up one run against a gunslinging lineup.
THIS IS THE TURNING POINT

to 90 losses.

Alright.

Time to start checking on the minor leagues. Hopefully there’s some good news on that front tonight.

I think I've found a new hobby:

Messing with the Twitter ads on the front page.

Thank goodness I'm home.

Let the drinking begin!
