Assuming they’re from British Columbia, you know, which isn’t all that far from Seattle, why are they rooting for a team on the other end of the Country? Do they just think they’re nationalist or being extremely Patriotic or what? Stuff like this bugs me, its SERIOUS business.

Thinking Johnson had a walk off homer!
Thinking Lopez won the game!
Hoping Washburn isn’t traded!
I love you, your silly hats, and that cute way you jump to conclusions and embarrass yourself.
And what it does is collect links about ideas that probably won’t happen but are interesting to think about. Reading it is fun. Thinking that what you read is going to happen is a bad idea. And reading the comments is a flat-out awful idea.
Does MLB have that kind of power over MLB transactions?
Also, does this mean that a team can sign a player whenever but not ANNOUNCE that they have signed him until MLB says they can, or does that mean that the team can’t SIGN the player until MLB says they can?
Here’s what manager Don Wakamatsu said: “I just found out. I’m sitting here trying to get out of a four-game losing streak. If anything happens, I trust our organization in Jack Zduriencik’s hands. I don’t know any details beyond he was pulled,”
but he’s been on the “What are we going to do about 2010 without Washburn!! We need to re-sign him!!!” kick that the rest of the Seattle media has been on.
But he's been really fair when others call in to argue that Washburn should be traded.
I don’t expect radio personalities to be perfect. The fact that he’s willing to listen to other schools of thought and admit that they’ve got a lot of merit is a huge improvement over what the Seattle market used to have.
So how about that Saunders guy?
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
I bet he just has cramps or something
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Per Divish
I’ve been informed that Jeff Clement has been pinch hit for in the third inning of the Rainiers game tonight in Reno. I have it on pretty reliable source that it is not injury related.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Please tell me it's Roy Halladay
Poochie - July 28, 2009
It's Roy Halladay.
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
Woo-hoo!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Wait did Bedard pass the 'has girl parts' label off to Clement by pitching through pain?
I missed that memo
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
It's pretty sexist to think that all cramps must be related to cycles
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Sore subject?
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
This is how you spell vagina
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
My aunt flo just kills me
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Well I am going to go ahead and call T.M.I
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
He was never fast enough for a triple. Liar.
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
*LaHiar
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
I'm pretty sexist
wait, sexist means sexually appealing, right?
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Well what's wrong with being sexy?
levnclf - July 28, 2009
Brignac Escobar Brignac Escobar Brignac Escobar Brignac Escobar
Please be one of the two.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Brignac please.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Either way, I'm thrilled.
katal - July 28, 2009
Yeah I feel it will not be one of these.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Clement and Lopez for Weeks!
katal - July 28, 2009
Both
we need depth
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
I'm still hoping for Brignac, even though it's become a longshot.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
I like that Bartlett is crushing the ball this year.
But I don’t like the smart Rays FO.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Bartlett's still under control for two more seasons and Tim Beckham should theoretically be ready within three.
But I will miss Brignac dearly if he’s dealt.
R.J. Anderson - July 28, 2009
How are you so quick on the draw
in these threads? Jeeezus
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
ACBlue emailed me.
R.J. Anderson - July 28, 2009
Double agent?
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Hoping he knew something
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
He's a robot.
It is an automatic response system. Whenever ‘Rays’ is posted on the internet, the bot sends a message in response.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
I have Rays of sunshine coming out of my ass
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Doesn't he also respond to "BJ Upton" + "Lazy" ?
BrianL - July 28, 2009
I'm not entirely sure of everything the bot is programmed to respond to.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Don't make me break the furries out.
R.J. Anderson - July 28, 2009
If you ever need a new home blog, we will welcome you with open arms
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
They have Beckham waiting
and he’ll be better than Brignac (probably). They do not need Brignac.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
I can't remember if this was supposed to be dis toward women or not
Poochie - July 28, 2009
We're winning!
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
Chris Woodward is one of my least favorite Mariners ever.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
You know what? Franklin's bobblehead looks more like Woodward that Guti.
It’s lame.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
So 7 innings 1 earned.
Trade the mofo.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
I'm not so sure about these Blue Jays fans...
Assuming they’re from British Columbia, you know, which isn’t all that far from Seattle, why are they rooting for a team on the other end of the Country? Do they just think they’re nationalist or being extremely Patriotic or what? Stuff like this bugs me, its SERIOUS business.
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
Fuck them
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
That's been my motto lately.
katal - July 28, 2009
They show Blue Jays games across Canada and Seattle is the closest MLB team to more than just BC.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
If there was only one Baseball team in the USA...
Wouldn’t you root for them?
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
I don't know that I'd cheer for them over Vancouver's baseball team.
katal - July 28, 2009
I'd root for whoever was closest to me
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
Yes.
Teej - July 28, 2009
If there was a team in Atlanta
And a team in BC, you’d root for the Atlanta team?
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Saunders was a fan of the Jays growing up.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
So Saunders gets a low borderline pitch called a strike?
w00tah - July 28, 2009
That inning happened
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Washburn really pitched poorly. Only thrown 57.8% of pitches for strike.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Missed an awful lot just below the bottom of the zone
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Better than missing up!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
I shouldn't say poorly. But the defense saved him again.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
So this game is really going to reset the tone for the season
after those blowout losses. Way to stick it to em, guys.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Chris Woodward has a .521 OPS
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Good to see that we can work the pitcher.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Impressive
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Raul Ibanez practically has the same OPS as Chris Woodward + Ronny Cedeno
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
It's like facing Rivera!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Fuck
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
This was predictable.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Why in the world is Scutaro so good this year?
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Yes, how did that happen.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Because Mark Lowe is bad?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
He has a .365 wOBA. It's not just Lowe.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
That would explain why his wOBA is 45 points over his career average.
Teej - July 28, 2009
If Washburn were on the mound
Ichiro would have turned that into an out.
katal - July 28, 2009
So, fuck Marco Scutaro?
MFAN - July 28, 2009
So is Lowe on the Randy Johnson career path?
100mph but no control until one day he gets it.
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
Except he's not a starter and his fastball is straighter and his slider isn't nearly as good
But yes, besides that.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
I don't know, has Lowe had a career-altering discussion with Nolan Ryan yet?
Gihyou - July 28, 2009
Don't know... but I think we should put in a call just in case.
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
Lowe can't even miss bats though
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Fuck you Mark Lowe
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Well there goes Mark Lowe's trade value
JLC - July 28, 2009
Well this is fascinating.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
So I hope Lowe was not supposed to be showcased.
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Funny
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
It is imperative that we get Jarrod the win
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
It's the difference between Escobar and someone else's Jeff Clement
Poochie - July 28, 2009
You diabetes fuckers are all the same
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009

msb - July 28, 2009
I think Mark Lowe is just making Washburn look better by comparison.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
But Washburn needs to get a W out of this game.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Vernon Wells is pretty bad.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Wells or Silva
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
for*
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Absolutely not.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
No way, it's about 28M vs. 126M.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Jays pay money of course.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Two Silvas
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Why don't we ever pitch Aardsma for more than an inning?
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
too many one run games.
He would always be out there
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
I will not challenge the challenge

Yeah Dave that's a big out
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
swing at 3-0?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
FUCK YOU MARK LOWE
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Well there goes the win.
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Ahahahaha
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Booooooo
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009

kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
Extras!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
We're too bad to make it that far
calim - July 28, 2009
We have a better than .500 record and more win than Team Canada
Poochie - July 28, 2009
No surprise there.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
Bad
JLC - July 28, 2009
The hell?
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
Yeah my heart goes out to Jarrod
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
There goes the Neighbourhood.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
Hey was Lowe getting traded?
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
There was interest
Rosenthal has someone looking at White too… Twins I think
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Walkoff wins are always exciting.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Teams will now want to rescue Washburn from this injustice.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
Damn, no win for Washburn.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
I really hate Mark Lowe now.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
New person to hate each day!
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
Keeps me coming back for more.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Washburn to Lowe, after the game: "Hey, thanks, dickhead!"
Gihyou - July 28, 2009
That pitch was up and in and he hits a double down the line.
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
If we take Lowe out of this game it's because he has been traded
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
What if the game goes a full nine innings?
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Where is Loafie by the way?
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
Stiff back
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
I miss his shining face
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
I think you spelled shining wrong. It's spelled C-H-U-B-B-Y
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
This would be a fitting end to Washburn's career as a Mariner
Terrible run support throughout his tenure, capped off by the bullpen blowing it in his last game.
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
At least he held out his end by being kinda crappy
Poochie - July 28, 2009
A fitting end to his Mariner career
would be him giving up 7 runs then complaining about run support and throwing Kenji under the bus.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
A fitting end would be being hit by a bus leaving the ballpark.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
Yes change-ups throw more of them.
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
I love how Overbay has a .259 batting average and .364 wOBA.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
How is that strange?
Poochie - July 28, 2009
He didn't say it was strange, he just said that he loved it.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
Eh, most casual fans will dismiss him as terrible.
I certainly wouldn’t mind having him.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
And is still a below average player
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Thanks for that GIDP Johnson, you fucking dick
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Why do ya'll care about Washburn winning?
Seems like a loss here would just make it easier to justify the trade to players
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Trade value, I suppose.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
But he pitched 'well'
this is why you scout him, right? So you don’t have to go by W-L.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Washburn is getting dealt either way.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
I was joking
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Now he looks like he knows what he's doing...
Malcontent1 - July 28, 2009
I miss Mark Lowe the rookie.
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Too bad Hargrove ran him into the ground
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Not Hargrove, but...
I sometimes wonder what Bobby Madritsch is up to.
JY - July 28, 2009
Yeah that was a sweet story for half a season
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
This was a sarcastic comment
Poochie - July 28, 2009
You have to pick your spots
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
I work so much better as a sidekick. >:(
Poochie - July 28, 2009
The chops have ruined him.
That and a bum elbow.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Those were the days.
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
Ichiro!
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Ichiro!

I mean... Way to go Ichiro!
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
tsk tsk
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Ichiro makes me a-happy.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
If guti homers
Does wash run out and hug him like felix?
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
No, because it's still a no decision.
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Why should he give a shit he's in the NL
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Or Lowe!
calim - July 28, 2009
Washburn doesn't benefit from us winning now.
Other than that he is on the team.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
I'm not sure Wash would be that happy for Mark Lowe to get the win.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
GUTI!
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Damn...almost.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
I love when people boo checking the runner.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Remember when people booed Feierabend for trying to hold Griffey on?
I wonder how that went over in spring training.
JY - July 28, 2009
Com'on, Shelly.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Probably, much like the Yuni trade
we will not know anything until tomorrow. That kills me.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009

There were two outs
calim - July 28, 2009
That was a funny looking ball earlier
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
The one that was almost perfectly superimposed over the called strike (in the middle of the plate) on gameday?
yeah it was funny
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
It smells like a funeral in the Mariners dugout.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
I'm disappointed Sweeney didn't bunt
It would be nice, at this stage in the season, to be bunting with the DH again.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
It's almost like Don Wakamatsu understands how to use his bullpen!

I will ban you so fast!
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
Who was traded?
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Ichiro and Felix to the Nationals for Jim Riggleman.
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Well, for the current rumors along with Clement being pulled, etc.
Divish had his thoughts, for example, and they’d be fun to talk about.
CapSea - July 28, 2009
Who wasn't
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Potentially Clement, I think is what's being referred to
Malcontent1 - July 28, 2009
Until I put up a Clement thread (if I do)
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Cito seems to like pinch-hitters.

Whoa, how long has that Twitter thing been on the MLB.TV screen?
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
Are you referring to the in-game highlights?

No the Twitter thing along from it, next to the player tracker.
I don’t use Twitter so I’m not that interested, I just hadn’t noticed it before.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
Oh, well now I am just noticing it.

There is ketchup hidden somewhere near the tarp and he squeezes some into..
His face secretly, and he gets #1 Web Gem.
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Bottom of the lineup coming up. What's the chance that we will score at the bottom of the 9th?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
101%
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
That's unpossible
calim - July 28, 2009
So are Loafie and Bunyan available for PH duty?
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
Loafie's not
we’re trying to give the Jays a chance, Loafie would just hit a walk-off homer
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
This is the worst version of the Rocky Theme ever
bluemax - July 28, 2009
The best being?
BrianL - July 28, 2009
A-capella
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Hmm good question
As a trumpet player I’m partial to the Maynard Ferguson version.
bluemax - July 28, 2009
That's a fantastic cover.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
I think the USC Marching band version
is based on this one.
bluemax - July 28, 2009
I thought I remembered this from somewhere.
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009

He's a HandyMan!
msb - July 28, 2009
Bunt you son of a bitch
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Bunt time?
calim - July 28, 2009
Jack Hannahan has 3 hits?
When the fuck did this happen?
JLC - July 28, 2009
no bunt?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Did Rob use up his Homer for the year?
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009

Poochie - July 28, 2009
WOAH

I can't wait for Jose.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Loafie up
game over.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
So close
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
HOLY aw
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Why is Johnson not bunting?
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
He had three doubles in a game once
and it’s gone to his head.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
Rob Johnson will never hit a ball that hard again.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
He might if he gets another amazingly bad pitch like that again
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
He hit a 400 ft homer earlier this season
Poochie - July 28, 2009
That's one more 400 ft homer than Loafie has =(
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
No better time to get one then now.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
That ball was obliterated
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
I saw it with my own two eyes and can confirm that it did indeed happen
Poochie - July 28, 2009
awwwwwwww missed it by thaaaaaaat much
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
That looked good off the bat.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Man that looked good at first
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
Well, these are actually good swings. That's fun to see, if nothing else
CapSea - July 28, 2009
why isn't he bunting?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Two strikes.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Because he needs to hit into a dp here
TrashiDawa - July 28, 2009
Johnson's day so far.
Strike Out Swinging
Strike Out Looking
GIDP
Please, mix it up, get a hit for once.
Heydude - July 28, 2009

Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
Or a SAC
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
A walk is fine here too.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Lined to Center?
CapSea - July 28, 2009
I might have missed that, just trying to repeat what they said on TV.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
I'll take the walk.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Fuck Gary Matthews Jr.
Seriously.
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
You've got to be fucking kidding.
Team of destiny, apparently.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Who gives a shit anymore
calim - July 28, 2009
STOP SHOWING OLD FANS!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
Yes show us some hot young trim
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Back to the girls now, order has been restored.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
This is the weirdest complaint in the history of complaints
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
OK CAMERMAN WE'VE ESTABLISHED THERE IS ANGST IN THE BALLPARK THANK YOU
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
Except the people they kept showing looked more unconscious from the heat ...
msb - July 28, 2009
Wak'ed em
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Oh, you.
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
Why does it keep showing fans who look like they can't wait to go home?
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
Depressed about the potential Clement trade
JLC - July 28, 2009
Jays fans?
msb - July 28, 2009
Funk walk!

gregrabble - July 28, 2009
That was a fucking atrociously awful bunt
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Ah-whoops!
msb - July 28, 2009
But he made it!
Results based analysis ftw!

JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
A lof of teams have a huge hole at pitcher defense.
CapSea - July 28, 2009

Bases loaded for Saunders!!
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Never mind, make that Lopez!
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Ahahahaha
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
NO DAMNIT...I WANTED SAUNDERS
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
Saunders walkoff time!
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Or Loafie.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Mr. "Clutch"
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
This is gay
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Jose Lopez walf off time!
bluemax - July 28, 2009
How many walk offs will this be for Lopez?
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
9
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
5x10^11
JLC - July 28, 2009
Lopez is going to hit an infield pop-up.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Pop-up time.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
SALAMI
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Hit him in the back
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
YES
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Sweep the leg
bamfor - July 28, 2009
His back looks stiff.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Are they trying to increase Jose's trade value?
JLC - July 28, 2009
no
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
There have been rumors of a Ricky Weeks trade.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009

Teej - July 28, 2009
Why does Lopez get all the walk-offs? I want Saunders!
MFAN - July 28, 2009
PINCH HIT GRAND SLAM! 500 FEET! LET'S DO THIS!
CapSea - July 28, 2009
THERE IT IS
DOWN THE LINE BUT FOUL
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
THERE IT IS! FOUL!
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
AHHH
Sims is killing me this inning!
bluemax - July 28, 2009
Grand Slam.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
Because what someone with a bad back needs is to get pounded on by a bunch of happy ball players.
msb - July 28, 2009
THERE IT IS.....
lands 25 feet foul
Eldukey - July 28, 2009
Dang it, I got all excited for nothing.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Stop doing that, Sims.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
Walk off GIDP time!
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
There it is!
But foul.
katal - July 28, 2009
Dave Sims does not understand physics
BigWood! - July 28, 2009
yay we almost win
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
Bahahahahaha
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Unclutch
bluemax - July 28, 2009
Ronny will do it!
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
DAMN IT LOAFIE
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
He suddenly remembered Felix would start kicking his ass in happiness.
msb - July 28, 2009
shit
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Well now the scouts won't think Lopez is clutch anymore
JLC - July 28, 2009
Would have had Lopez by a mile at first.
Teej - July 28, 2009
Nuts
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Why would you not hit a grand slam there?
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Seems like a questionable call on Wak's part.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
We end up losing somehow?
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Bahaha this is going to be the best DP ever
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
ronny!
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Wait, what, extra innings!
Since uh, CedeNO is coming up.
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
[Unsurpriseface.jpg]
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
GS GS GS GS
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Ronny is 0-24?!
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Good God.
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
This is what happens when I don't watch a game for five days
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Squeeze
Squeeze squeeze squeeze
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Bases loaded
Poochie - July 28, 2009
If he pushes it...
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Go Ronny!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Here comes the Cedeno double play
JLC - July 28, 2009
WOOOO.
FREE BASEBALL.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
I wanted to see Saunders hit a walkoff GS
oh well
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
Me too.
…Me too.
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Suicide squeeze!
Just kidding.
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
We're not scoring here are we?
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
All Ronny has to do is hit a fly ball
Poochie - July 28, 2009
I can't say I'm at all confident.
Teej - July 28, 2009
And there we go!
Teej - July 28, 2009
This game is over if Saunders is left in.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
I thought it was kinda silly to PH for him there. But oh well.
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
DO IT FOR AMERICA RON!
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
How do you let Cedeno hit here
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
Everyone else is injured?
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Because Russell Branyan is our backup SS.
Decatur - July 28, 2009
Woodward!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Cedeno K, followed by an annoying Ichiro groundout.
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
Just hit it to the outfield.
russak - July 28, 2009
Now i want them to get out of the inning with no runs
just for the novelty of it
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Keep the bat on your shoulder.
Don’t swing. Don’t hit into a double play.
katal - July 28, 2009
I think I would've let Saunders hit
and PH Cedeno.
bluemax - July 28, 2009
At this point I'd rather :(edeno just stuck out
and hope for Ichiro to work his magic.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
And there we go.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
Good god I'm amazing.
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
ahahahahahaha
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Fucker
Mariner Melee - July 28, 2009
Fucking pathetic
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Why didn't they PH for Ronny?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
No one available to play shortstop.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
Woodward to SS, Loafie to 2nd, Cedeno to LF
I’d assume
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Langerhans!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Woodward!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
With what?
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
CLEMENT!
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
GRIFFEY!
Eyeball Kid - July 28, 2009
Oh shit
Pessimistic Optimist - July 28, 2009
Maybe that was Cedeno's last at bat!
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Trade them all, Jack! Trade them all!
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
TRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
I want to see Ichiro get the game-winning hit and run away from the mob.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
He tried!
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
I was hoping he'd run all the way to the tunnel in center.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
Fucking hell
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
I can't believe Wakamatsu didn't ban Ronny from swinging that whole AB
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Or have him bunt
which he does very well, actually
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
Hee hee
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
The fact that everyone is cheering makes it much worse
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
:(:(:(:(:(:(edeno
calim - July 28, 2009
Yeah... this had the feel of extras as soon as we loaded the bases.
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
I really hope we're getting Brignac
russak - July 28, 2009
Unlikely!
Teej - July 28, 2009
Me too, even if it's probably not going to happen.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Here it comes.....Ichiro grandslam
CSD - July 28, 2009
Send Ronny on the next plane to West Tennessee, please.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Here comes the game winning Ichiro hit
JLC - July 28, 2009
Oh, just hit it out and be done with it.
msb - July 28, 2009
I remember Scott Downs from when he sucked
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
So four minutes ago?
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
You mean two batters ago?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Like getting Lopez and Cedeno is some display of mastery
Bearskin Rugburn - July 28, 2009
SSS and all that, but from what I've seen of him this year, he's looking nasty.
Teej - July 28, 2009
He was traded for Mike Morgan!
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
wut
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Scott Downs has been around for a long time
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
I-CHI-RO
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Ronny Cedeno is a living embodiment of the "there is no floor" concept
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
Steal home it's our only bestest chance
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
Oooh
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Ichi-Tastic!!!!!!
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Ichiro looks terrible.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009

Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
ICHIRO!
BrianL - July 28, 2009
HE'S IN THE MOB!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOSING STREAK OVER
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
ICHIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
That's how it's done!

Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
THERE IT IS WEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAHAHAHAHAHA
ICHIRO MOB
JLC - July 28, 2009
...and now to find out where we sent Jeffie!
Poochie - July 28, 2009
Damn, how did Sweeney get to Ichiro so fast?
ThundaPC - July 28, 2009
He had to get out there to make sure no one else wallopped him
It turned into hug time, not GBH
msb - July 28, 2009
Intangibles
JLC - July 28, 2009
HAHAHAHA
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
YES YES YES YES YES
russak - July 28, 2009
I didn't think that was going to happen.
katal - July 28, 2009
Thanks Jarrod... see ya around.
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
My world is right when that man smiles.
Xux - July 28, 2009
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Did he smile before he hit that!?!?
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2009
Ichi~
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Ichiro is so uncomfortable.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Did you see him willingly give Sweeney a hug?
BrianL - July 28, 2009
Sweeney has that effect on people.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
HOLY ASS GIBLETS THAT JUST FUCKING HAPPENED
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
YES! I don't think I've ever seen an Ichiro walk-off.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
Didn't he have one in the WBC?
Or am I misremembering?
calim - July 28, 2009
Not a walk-off, but drove in the go-ahead run.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
WBC hit was in the top of the 10th.
Sumio - July 28, 2009
I've always felt that he avoids getting walk-off hits cause he wouldn't want everyone touching him.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
SHOW LESS JOHNSON AND SHOW MORE ICHIRO
JLC - July 28, 2009
Ichiro's first EVER walk-off hit for the Ms!
Sumio - July 28, 2009
SO CUTE
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Yippie!!!!!!
SethGrandpa - July 28, 2009
Where's the tickle monster?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Ichiroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
bmxnw - July 28, 2009
Jarrod is the name of a jewel store?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Jered.
You obviously didn’t go there.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
This comment was not appreciated.
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Fastest I have ever seen sweeney move
Was out there in a flash for mariner hug time
Whoopetydoo - July 28, 2009
He subs as first base coach sometimes.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Banging.
Slow Country - July 28, 2009
Will Brian Fuentes blow a consecutive save in the 9th 2 nights in a row?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Nope.
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
bases loaded, no out.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Bulger in to face V-Mart
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Before Jeff yells at us. Cut it out!
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
I thought game threads were the proper place for this?
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
No idea. Just being cautious.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
I think the gamethreads are ok.
This is where we should be talking about the Angels game.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
Indeed
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
I think she is referring to Fuentes being pulled.
But those runners are charged to him if they score.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Capitalise
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Just doubted we'd be that lucky.
But I appreciate that you guys gave me more credit than I deserve!
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
Bases loaded, no outs, 7-5 Angels
Perhaps.
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Only 6.5 out of the wild card!
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
You have to start somewhere!
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
All-Star closer!
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Fuck the Indians
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
I wish Ichiro had just flat sprinted away. No one would ever catch him.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
Holy shit I didn't see that Saunders catch.
Hot damn!
BrianL - July 28, 2009
I was late too.
And I bet that was like redemption for him.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Was a trade announced? USSM seems to have crashed..
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
=o
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
That just happens sometimes.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
A ship can only stow so many.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
No, based on Peter Gammons, Jack Z is about to announce they extend Jarrod Washburn's contract.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Positively not funny
calim - July 28, 2009
Yet probably true.
Then Jack is going to blow our collective minds with a move the media never thought about.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Divish's line was:
“But remember many of the perceived deals that we thought Jack Z was going to make, end up being different than suspected. "
msb - July 28, 2009
Really? Because I totally expected that 12 player three team trade. Won me a steak dinner.
He’s so predictable it’s annoying
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
Fag.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
What are you doing, isn't is Tuesday? I thought that was bathhouse night for you
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
And where are you, doll?
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Waiting at the bathhouse you bitch, I'm not used to being stood up
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
Mr Ess is too busy watching the Xanadu clips on YouTube
msb - July 28, 2009
Like getting a chest wax and fake wings is difficult, this is Seattle
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
A million lights are dancing
and there you are, a shooting star, an everlasting world, and you’re here with me, eternally.
My wife told me that and then said, "You’re such a faggot.’ SIGH.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Now that I'm here, now that you're near ...
msb - July 28, 2009
In Xanadu.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
I hope you hit that high note.
msb - July 28, 2009
Girl, you KNOW I did.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
He hit that high note
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
Punk bitch.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
People on mlbtraderumors
Are saying something about Jed Lowrie?
Patton - July 28, 2009
Bavasi isn't the GM anymore.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Sounds like a deal he would have made.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
If those people are named anything but Tim Dierkes then who the hell cares.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Probably just 'cause of Ichiro.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Nothing that I'm aware of, people are just spamming refresh/comment buttons tonight.
Jeff Nye - July 28, 2009
Could be speculation about Jeff Clement
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
Oh Simms!
Thinking Johnson had a walk off homer!
Thinking Lopez won the game!
Hoping Washburn isn’t traded!
I love you, your silly hats, and that cute way you jump to conclusions and embarrass yourself.
OceanBird - July 28, 2009
It's Sims.
And he is awesome.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
STOP SELLING WE WON.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
CLEMENT, MORROW, TRI, AUMONT AND RAMIREZ FOR HALLADAY!
MAKE IT SO!
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
NO FUCK YOU - PLAYOFFS, BABY.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Halladay will quickly crush any hope you might have.
houseofprime - July 28, 2009
Them is fightin' words, Canuck!
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
My immediate thought after this game
Was that Ichiro badly deserves to win a WS
JLC - July 28, 2009
Great game
I don’t care if we’re ten thousands games back, this will always make me happy:
maalox - July 28, 2009
MLBTR is fucking nuts. Can't tell is its people trolling or telling the truth.
russak - July 28, 2009
Assume trolling.
Fuckmikereilly - July 28, 2009
99% of the time, trolling.
seattlesundevil - July 28, 2009
You mean the front page, the comments, or both?
Decatur - July 28, 2009
The front page isn't as blatantly terrible as the comments are
Pure trash. ugh.
Karma Police - July 28, 2009
The front page is fine for what it is, which is a link aggregator.
As long as you’re not a moron, it’s fine.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Thank you.
Teej - July 28, 2009
The comments in the Jeff clement rumor.
russak - July 28, 2009
Why even go there.
SBN has their own rumors site now.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
MLBTR is really, really good at what it does.
And what it does is collect links about ideas that probably won’t happen but are interesting to think about. Reading it is fun. Thinking that what you read is going to happen is a bad idea. And reading the comments is a flat-out awful idea.
Teej - July 28, 2009
You know there's a rule that if you visit that site you have to smoke the kind bud, right?
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
I actually almost shit my self. Then read the Darvish comments.
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Tricks of the trade with Ronny Cedeno?
This will be the best tricks of the trade show since the Rob Johnson one.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
They're covering turning a double play from the shortstop position.
Ronny seems okay at that.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
They should just have Franklin do all of them.
msb - July 28, 2009
I'd be cool with that.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
The best thing he did this game was to strikeout and not GIDP at the bottom of the 9th.
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
Ronny Cedeno's tricks of the trade:
SWING SWING SWING SWING
OlSalty - July 28, 2009
Sigh.
Fuck the Angels… again.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
But Boston lost, so we picked up 1 game in the wild card race.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Seriously, fuck them.
Texas, too. Neither team has any business winning that many games.
Fearless Frog - July 28, 2009
Well, neither do we.
But we can’t catch a break these last two weeks.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
We have Gutierrez.
That’s reason enough to win 116 games
Fearless Frog - July 28, 2009
Sorry about the quality but I'm on a bad connection
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Was Sweeney the first base coach?
Please tell me yes.
Decatur - July 28, 2009
It's still beautiful.
LauraBu - July 28, 2009
If we hear that Ichiro suffered some kind of injury from that I'm gonna go crazy.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
The best part is Sweeney goes for the high five and Ichiro just hugs him...
SebastianPruiti - July 28, 2009
This is JI bad
Poochie - July 28, 2009
I hate wireless
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Side ways hugs.
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Awww. That's nice. In person I didn't notice.
royalcurve - July 28, 2009
I don't know if this has been brought up recently, but does anyone know how the Dustin Ackley signing is coming along?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
No news until August 17. Boras style.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Yes it's all Scott Boras and totally not MLB refusing to sign off on way above slot deals until the signing deadline
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Oh, is that what is taking so long?
Seems strange trying to keep players from getting back on the field.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Holding out for more money?
Heydude - July 28, 2009
How would MLB be holding out for more money?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Sorry, I misread the comment.
I thought Boras was holding out for more money for his clients.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Announcing a massive above slot deal might mess with negotiations for the rest of the league
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Yes.
Even if teams and agents have reached agreements, MLB won’t let them announce it for fear of the news inflating the market.
Teej - July 28, 2009
Does MLB have that kind of power over MLB transactions?
Also, does this mean that a team can sign a player whenever but not ANNOUNCE that they have signed him until MLB says they can, or does that mean that the team can’t SIGN the player until MLB says they can?
Decatur - July 28, 2009
I'm not positive on the specifics of what's officially within the rules, but from what I understand, that's the way it's gone for years.
Teej - July 28, 2009
Why couldn't they just keep the numbers secret until the the deadline?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
That would be a concession that the player's union hasn't given up so I don't think that's allowed
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
I'm not following.
Are you saying the player’s union is negotiating for the players and not the agent?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
CBA rules govern the way the draft works
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Poythress just signed, JY said Franklin's pretty close (I think), but Ackley's going until the 17th of August by all indications.
Decatur - July 28, 2009
I wish more draftees were like Chipper Jones.
Sign a respectable contract and get yourself on the field to stay on top of development.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
That would be stupid on their part.
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Nick Franklin is an 18 year old who will hopefully never have a summer vacation again until he'sin his late 30s.
It’s not always about money.
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
This is a really good point, that I've never thought of.
It’s funny how baseball players (and athletes in general) are kinda viewed as robots.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Could always sign and give a date when to report.
Happens all the time in the business world.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
And then you'd go back to the no development time thing
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
I am more concerned about the player signing and being committed.
Instead of taking everything down to the wire.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
From what I understand there's no indication that Franklin will not sign, and that the cost will be reasonable
Therefore what’s the problem?
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Franklin isn't who I specifically asking about (although it is good to know).
Everything cool on the Ackley front?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Ackley definitely won't be announced until the 17th
If he doesn’t sign for $5.5-6.5M I will eat my hat in Jeff Sullivan style
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
What's slot for 2nd overall?
$3.5?
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Actually. yeah. I heard that you have a year or two to sign, somewhere. I think it was the Jake Locker situation.
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
...
signreportJamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
Franklin the 2b from UNC?
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Nvm, hes the high school kid?
w00tah - July 28, 2009
HS SS.
Slurvey - July 28, 2009
Switch-hitting HS shortstop.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
You're thinking of Kyle Seager, the left-handed UNC second/third baseman.
Decatur - July 28, 2009
Who is already signed
calim - July 28, 2009
And has struck out twice in two weeks
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
The Mariners won, but my ass still hurts as a fan.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
If anyone cares....
Kazmir sat at 92-93 today….
But I somehow doubt that the Rays would have let him throw 113 pitches if he was out the door.
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in LAAanheim
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Wash had 102. Not as bad but still quite a bit.
Are you saying that we’re not going to trade him?
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Ok...
Washburn doesn’t have an extensive injury history….
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
113 isn't that many pitches
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Not in this day and age of baseball?
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
No
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Even for an oft injured pitcher?
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
No
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Wash is 35.
Not exactly unbreakable.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Ok you win....
Any team looking at an oft injured pitcher that is being thrown in as a salary dump should be elated to have him ridden for 113 pitches….
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
Also want to prove he can throw that many
calim - July 28, 2009
Well shoot...
why were we idiots by pull Bedard after 80? I’m sure he had 30 more left in him. Would have sent a solid message to the league.
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
He was hurt and ineffective
Kazmir was neither, and that game was very important to the Rays to boot. They’re also still in a pennant race.
calim - July 28, 2009
Why not?
calim - July 28, 2009
I am not in Seattle. Did they interview Jarrod Washburn? What did he say?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
I doubt he would say anything outside of the typical fluff.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
Did we even consider that Clement might be coming up? As opposed to being traded?
MFAN - July 28, 2009
Why would you take him out of the game for that?
argystokes - July 28, 2009
You still don't want him to get hurt
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Standard operating procedure for callups and trades.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
That's a possibility. Salk just said "from what I've heard, he's not getting called up" though
gregrabble - July 28, 2009
Considered but unlikely
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
Jack Z does the impossible.....Trades Kenji for goodies
CSD - July 28, 2009
To the Royals, no less.
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
With Griffey and Branyan on the roster?
Doubt it.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
Was thinking that Branyan could be going on the DL or something.
MFAN - July 28, 2009
I'd think they'd call up Carp before Clement in that scenario.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
He doesn't have really any place to play, does he?
The Mariners seem rather reluctant to do anything with Junior, first base has Branyan and we already have two other catchers.
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
But who are you taking him out for?
Still reeks of trade
calim - July 28, 2009
Err
calling him up for
calim - July 28, 2009
Could DL Griffey
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Don't be a party pooper, Graham. :(
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
I'm kind of hoping Clement stays
I want Graham to live
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
Besides, we all know that Baron is our new catcher of the future. ;)
Coach Owens - July 28, 2009
Baron has been awful
Graham MacAree - July 28, 2009
Moore!
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009

Wilkins!
w00tah - July 28, 2009

Wait.. What?
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
How many boxes of wine did you have tonight?
Wilder. - July 28, 2009
Valle!
w00tah - July 28, 2009
Salk saying basically SOMETHING is going to happen.
Might be Morrow, Washburn, or possibly your Postal Delivery Person. News at 11:00.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
11pm news?
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Bitch, it's 11;00 when Salk says it's 11:00.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
2 more minutes.
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
I'm on Eastern time here
and I’m friggin tired. Any idea when any announcement will be?
ManifestDestiny - July 28, 2009
No
And things usually aren’t announced this late anyway.
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2009
So, you might as well go to bed :)
msb - July 28, 2009
WE JUST TRADED TRIUNFEL AND MORROW FOR IBANEZ AND BLOOMQUIST.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Whoopsie - My browser was set to "silly."
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Fuck that.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
the midnight trade deadline was way more fun
argystokes - July 28, 2009
About this Brignac guy? Is he a good hitter?
M'sin.. - July 28, 2009
Looks pretty solid to me, but they are far smarter people on here who know more.
Heydude - July 28, 2009
Brignac may cause LL to melt down if he's acquired
seattlebruin - July 28, 2009
THE END!!!
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
For a SS, yes
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
.350 wOBA in AAA
Aaron Campeau - July 28, 2009
Doesn't seem to walk much.
brian_sun - July 28, 2009
Whoopdie goddamned doo he's well above league average for his level and is a good defensive SS.

My bad
I know about it, but the pretrade jitters make me stoopid
argystokes - July 28, 2009
From Stone
I don’t think we’re getting any news tonight.
calim - July 28, 2009
I really do like Wak.
And it seems that he trusts Jack and Jack trusts him. That’s important.
The Typical Idiot Fan - July 28, 2009
Mike Salk has got to be the best postgame guy the Mariners have ever employed.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
Sarcasm or no?
Should I not be turning my radio off immediately after the game?
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
He really is quite good.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
That's the guy? He's pretty good, much better than Pittman/Hudler, phonetic spelling so nobody freak out
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
Please.
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
You idiot! This is the biggest deal I've ever encoutered on the web!
JamMasterJesus - July 28, 2009
You sir are an internet warrior of the first order! I graciously retire, the field is yours!
Kermit. - July 28, 2009
My god you're like Hellen Keller.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
With more awesome boobs,
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Not sure whre that comma is going - I'll eave it for someone else.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Fuck my keyboard.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Salk is good...
but he’s been on the “What are we going to do about 2010 without Washburn!! We need to re-sign him!!!” kick that the rest of the Seattle media has been on.
PLU Tim - July 28, 2009
But he's been really fair when others call in to argue that Washburn should be traded.
I don’t expect radio personalities to be perfect. The fact that he’s willing to listen to other schools of thought and admit that they’ve got a lot of merit is a huge improvement over what the Seattle market used to have.
BrianL - July 28, 2009
And why not re-sign him?
Oops.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Mike Salk is awesome.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2009
Ah, the first "Every guy who's left the Mariners has flourished" caller.
