I, for one, did not expect this. And while taking Morrow, Washburn and Vargas into New York doesn't exactly fill me with courage, who even knows what's what anymore? Get ready for some dingers!

Russell Branyan ...
pop up … into right field … all the way out of this tiny stadium. Go M’s!!!
HitKing69 - June 28, 2009
He may hit 15 HRs in the series.
SethGrandpa - June 28, 2009
Wouldn't that just make ESPN lose it?
mark sobba - June 28, 2009
3 games over .500!
ThundaPC - June 28, 2009
What the fuck is that thing?
waldo rojas - June 28, 2009
Branyan's condom.
CapSea - June 28, 2009
Some trophy that George Costanza
dragged behind his car to get fired.
marinerdan - June 28, 2009
Dingers are much better than the horrifying secret of why MLB is spying on us!
Sportszilla - June 28, 2009
It's a damn shame the fucking Angels won't lose a god damned game or else this would be even sweeter.
But seriously, 2/3 from the Dodgers is awesome.
Zwakamatsu - June 28, 2009
Does anyone else think that ichiro is a legitimate contendor for MVP?
Slow Country - June 28, 2009
If we stay in it
Ichiro and Felix are going to be in the running for MVP/ Cy Young. Waka probably wins AL manager of the year.
Robert - June 28, 2009
Griffey wins ROY.
CapSea - June 28, 2009
And the anti-triple crown
mark sobba - June 28, 2009
It's between him and Sweeney
Really-good-guy Of the Year.
nickmo - June 28, 2009
*Retiree
CapSea - June 28, 2009
That makes even more sense.
My bad.
nickmo - June 28, 2009
Waka probably would be AL Manager of the year of the Mariners made it to the playoffs.
Fin - June 28, 2009
I really hope so.
When he didn’t win it in ’04 AND Vlad won it, one of the most disappointing choices I can remember..
Slow Country - June 28, 2009
I think he'd be a near shoo-in if we make the playoffs.
JLProck - June 28, 2009
Well, provided he continues to hit .375
seattlebruin - June 28, 2009
Who gives a shit about that
Sweeney for Spirit Award
Bearskin Rugburn - June 28, 2009
MLB needs a "Fairest and Best" award.
msb - June 28, 2009
I'd say Evan Longoria is still the favorite right now.
Wak, on the other hand, has to be considered front-runner for MOY. The baseball writers simply can’t resist a “take team from last place to playoff contention in first year” story.
Benne - June 28, 2009
Just what this team needs. A series in a wind tunnel!
I bet Cedeno hits one out. I’ll bet the first person who replies a dollar.
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
I'll take that bet
gregrabble - June 28, 2009
Okay. If he doesn't hit one, I'll literally mail you one dollar.
I expect the same in return.
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
I prefer paypal
gregrabble - June 28, 2009
I'll e-mail you shortly.
Fuckin….paypal my ass.
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
If he wins, don't short him. He needs that dollar
Kermit. - June 28, 2009
You usually have to be able to hit the ball in the air to hit a homerun
OlSalty - June 28, 2009
It's the New Yankee Stadium
Bunts that get popped up, can clear the left field wall.
CSD - June 28, 2009
I thought right field was where all the homers were going.
JLProck - June 28, 2009
Yup. The wind tunnel sweeps everything from the third base side, to right field, then over the wall.
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
He's hit two.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 29, 2009
Your subject line is clashing with your sig.
Kermit. - June 29, 2009
This love is tough, I'll admit.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 29, 2009
What if we went like 7-2 on this road trip
gregrabble - June 28, 2009
That would obviously be very good.
JLProck - June 28, 2009
I'd be ok with this..
seattlesundevil - June 28, 2009
I would say shit.
Zwakamatsu - June 28, 2009
I would(almost)
literally shit.
hairofthedawg - June 28, 2009
I would literally almost shit.
Zwakamatsu - June 28, 2009
I would say shit, literally shit, then say shit again.
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
I would literally almost say shit
but stop myself at the last minute.
Zwakamatsu - June 28, 2009
This went on a couple too many replies.
Mariner John - June 28, 2009
Why can't you just be a Jovial John?
JamMasterJesus - June 28, 2009
I would hope...
You would do that at least once during 9 games. Not that I care, but if you’re waiting for those kinds of situations…that can’t be healthy.
Sidi - June 28, 2009
I would poop
Jeff Sullivan - June 28, 2009
That's true for me no matter what happens this road trip.
CapSea - June 28, 2009
Et poo, Sullivan?
OlSalty - June 28, 2009
Texas gets shut out 2-0.
Goose - June 28, 2009
Too bad the D-Backs played HORRIBLE defense with Scherzer on the mound against freaking Palmer..
Slurvey - June 28, 2009
I like how you guys think you can bait me.
Goose - June 28, 2009
Actually I think he was complaining about the Angels not losing which is relevent to our divisional standings
Graham MacAree - June 28, 2009
Now if only the Angels would stop winning....
Seriously, though, taking 2 from the Dodgers is fucking huge.
Benne - June 28, 2009
Bahahaha K-Rod just walked Mariano Rivera with the bases loaded.
BrettJMiller - June 28, 2009
Well that's something new.
Eyebrows - June 28, 2009
How does John Sterling not embarass himself?
msb - June 28, 2009
Because he knows without him there, the alternative is 9 innings of a mewling Suzyn Waldman
Spoomeister - June 28, 2009
Jarrod will do fine,
he always Washburninates the Yankees.
appleshampoo - June 28, 2009
Most boring playoff team ever
Poochie - June 28, 2009
IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE OUTLANDISH CLAIMS IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT
The burden of proof is on the person who makes the assertion, and the wilder your assertion, the better your evidence should be. 1920 Brooklyn Robins were far more boring, and it’s not even close.
CapSea - June 28, 2009
Zach Wheat and Burleigh Grimes were pretty exciting.
Mariner John - June 28, 2009
Zach Wheat was an overrated hack who sustained success for 19 years due to an unsustainable BABIP.
Plus, let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. A player that nearly doubles his home run rate going his age 34 season? I’m not saying he didn’t, but we can’t rule out the obvious just because we don’t like what we hear.
CapSea - June 29, 2009
But.....but....
Griffey! And Sweeney! And Rob Johnson! They’re carrying the team on their backs! Through sheer willpower!
Benne - June 28, 2009
Ronny didn't earn biggest suckfest!
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 29, 2009
It's a five man suckfest rotation.
Griffey, Sweeney, Cedeno, Betancourt, and Johnson all need to take their turns. Lopez sometimes makes a spot start.
