I feel like I've gone out on a date with Jarrod Washburn and at the end of the night he takes me home. He goes in for a kiss but I reject him, giving him a courtesy hug instead because the date hadn't gone so well.
So he stands there for a moment and I say “Bye.” He says nothing and is still there.
Finally, I can’t stand it anymore as I open the door and scream “WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!?!?! GO!!!”
How funny, you think Rob Johnson is a better hitter than Johjima.
And even funnier is your “labor under the mistaken belief” comment. You’re no Matthew (or even Graham! just kidding).
I should say that, if you think Rob Johnson is a better hitter than Johjima, then “I don’t know what to say to you”.
1.) It does make it more likely that they can overtake the Angels this season, which would be sweet.
2.) It harms them in the long run, which helps the Mariners.
We met some time ago

Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009

gregrabble - July 30, 2009
Nice throw.

That was actually a great throw by Johnson.
Fuckmikereilly - July 30, 2009
Oh my God the Cubs totally fleeced us
Aaron Campeau - July 30, 2009
What makes you say this?
Dewey N - July 30, 2009
Yeah, I wouldn't really cry for Aaron Heilman.
It ain’t exactly Jones/Tillman/Sherrill
esoteric - July 30, 2009
That's like saying Aaron Heilman is valuable.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 30, 2009
I know!
I would even say that this takes a lot of the shine off the Putz trade.

I predicted 5 runs and yanked in the 4th inning.
I’m a little miffed that I was off by the one run.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
What's funny is that I expected Olson to give up three homeruns today.
And what was Vizquel doing over there?
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Rob Johnson is Johnny Bench
Just infinitely more shitty.
ScottBrowne - July 30, 2009
He's like Kenji except intangibles!
Fearless Frog - July 30, 2009
For "intangibles" read "whiteness"
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Why, it's astonishing he doesn't need a translator when he goes up to chat on the mound!
Fearless Frog - July 30, 2009
I'm a bit concerned about our chances of scoring 10 runs today.
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
I feel like I've gone out on a date with Jarrod Washburn and at the end of the night he takes me home. He goes in for a kiss but I reject him, giving him a courtesy hug instead because the date hadn't gone so well.
So he stands there for a moment and I say “Bye.” He says nothing and is still there.
Finally, I can’t stand it anymore as I open the door and scream “WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!?!?! GO!!!”

What are you talking about?
They’re in a close pennant race and are 13 games over .500
gregrabble - July 30, 2009
Aside from being in the race and having a lot of great prospects on the way?
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
Hell no.
Wilder. - July 30, 2009
Bahahaha fuck you perfect game!
I will miss you Hannahan.
Fuckmikereilly - July 30, 2009
We get no-hit for four innings the game after no-hitting someone else for six.
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
That was some really shitty effort
by the Rangers middle infield, especially considering the perfect game going on
Trenchtown - July 30, 2009
They both have awesome range
there’s no way they get to that.
Fuckmikereilly - July 30, 2009
I didn't say they could get to it
I just thought the week jog was sad effort for the circumstances
Trenchtown - July 30, 2009
Zero chance in hell.
Teej - July 30, 2009
HAHA, fuck off Holland.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
He'll probably still shut us out.
But I’m glad we pissed away his perfect game/no-hitter with a meaningless dink single.

So if we trade Wash, who starts Sunday?

Snell
GoCougs - July 30, 2009
Going to make a couple of AAA starts is the word
calim - July 30, 2009
Would he still make the starts if Washburn gets traded?
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
I don't know
I just don’t know of another obvious option, other than maybe Morrow.
calim - July 30, 2009
Olson.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Snell, I imagine.

Nope. Lord of the Rings.

Man, that fucking HURTS when you get hit in the head by a foul tip.
I was umping a 14 year old game, pitcher was throwing roughly 70, and a foul tip gave me a concussion. Didn’t knock me out, but that shit hurts.
Jack Moore - July 30, 2009
Was this 14 years ago or are you some sort of timelord?
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
14 year old players =\
Jack Moore - July 30, 2009
Rec'd because you used the word "timelord"

Robots wouldn't need all this protection they're talking about.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
True, but umpires won't
develop rapidly improving artificial intelligence and one day learn that true freedom can only exist in a world without humans — their creators.
And umpires wont develop their own weapons systems and organize an army with its sole mission to completely annihilate humanity.
And umpires will not develop cyborg assassins to travel back in time and destroy our leader.

Meh, I'll likely be dead by then.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
That is what an undercover cyborg assassin would say,
to throw us off the track
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
The craftiest cyborg assassin would be the one raising the alarm about cyborg assassins.
He’s the last one you would suspect…

Derek Holland looks really good
it’s not just the M’s lineup. The Rangers are gonna be good.
Fuckmikereilly - July 30, 2009
He really doesn't.
Nothing he is tossing looks unhittable.
thewyrm - July 30, 2009

He's had great control and dozens of minor league hitters would beg to differ.
He’s a good pitcher.

Ugh.
Eyebrows - July 30, 2009
sorry, that was bad indeed.
Sam Regens - July 30, 2009
Hard to focus on Saunders when everyone looks helpless.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Yes, you're right. It's not just Saunders but the whole lower half of the line-up is so feeble it can get aggravating sometimes
Sam Regens - July 30, 2009
Especially with Rob Johnson in there instead of Johjima.
Sam Regens - July 30, 2009
You seem to labor under the mistaken belief that Johjima is any better than Johnson.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
How funny, you think Rob Johnson is a better hitter than Johjima.
And even funnier is your “labor under the mistaken belief” comment. You’re no Matthew (or even Graham! just kidding).
I should say that, if you think Rob Johnson is a better hitter than Johjima, then “I don’t know what to say to you”.
Sam Regens - July 30, 2009
No, Johnson isn't better than Johjima, but the difference isn't great.
And neither are any great shakes defensively.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
They're both pretty worthless at the plate.

I just picked up a new one yesterday, Dick’s Brewing Company out of Centralia. Has a really sharp bite, I like it.

I did-- I was surprised by the hoppiness, but I like it.
And I got to use my brand-new Budgie bottle opener from Australia
msb - July 30, 2009
Should be charged to Shelton.
Wilder. - July 30, 2009
Shelton has to stop that ball.
That’s not even a difficult play.
Jack Moore - July 30, 2009
And we got Hannahan for his glove, right?
I know, Shelton should have had it, but still.
Heydude - July 30, 2009
He has a great glove
It’s his arm that’s questionable.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
I gotcha, that makes sense.
Heydude - July 30, 2009

Snell assigned to Tacoma but will make a stop here to throw a bullpen before reporting.
Jack Moore - July 30, 2009
And during that session Jim Moore will stand off to the side calling Snell a pussy and making fun of him for feeling depressed.

Well, we could use him up here.
But I am guessing Jack Z wants to test him out in Tacoma first.

Okay, I'm done.

Holy crap, ANOTHER HR?
Heydude - July 30, 2009
Well, the Mariners are getting a thorough ass whooping from the Rangers right about now.
Fin - July 30, 2009
I am utterly annoyed by this stadium.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Somehow I don't think it's the stadium.
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
It's a combo of the stadium and Jak and Olson's lack of talent.
Heydude - July 30, 2009
It has to be.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Only if they have some kind of wind generator
that they can turn off during the first half inning.
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
That would be just cheap,but a nice idea.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Don't worry they'll be exhausted tomorrow from all the slow trots around the bases

Regardless of what happens at the end of this season, I’m downing a bottle of champagne, because I know I will have seen the last of this.
section331 - July 30, 2009
Realistically, I think this game is over. Optimistically, we are going to win this 10-9!
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Optimistically someone will overpay for Jarrod Washburn tonight.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 30, 2009
It's sad, but my mind is kind of brainwashed to think that Washburn has improved.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
He has, a little
just not nearly as much as the defense around him has.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
And, I also think that if we get rid of Washburn we will lose more.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
We probably would be slightly worse in 2009, but not enough to reall worry about.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
How much worse would you say?
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
I mean what would you expext our record to be?
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Honestly have no clue, I would guess we'd be a win worse or something.
Maybe not even that, depends on who replaces Washburn.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
You take away the homeruns we gave up.
We’re actually throwing a shutout. [/McLaren]
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Wahahahaha
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
I apoligize for posting another comment, but..
He actually said that?

He would.
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
Not that specific line but some variation of it.
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
He said it about Horacio Rameriez.
Something about if you took away the bad pitches he threw, he pitched pretty well.

Bearskin Rugburn - July 30, 2009
We've only gotten one hit.
And we were able to get to Halladay.

I was kidding.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Sorry
I’m hot and not drunk, so my regularly catlike mental reflexes are probably just off.
section331 - July 30, 2009
I prefer my fellow posters to be hot AND drunk.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Sorry
Didn’t mean to drag you down to my (sober) level.
section331 - July 30, 2009
Im hoping someone gets my comment.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 30, 2009
Luckily we've got the perfect fallout boy right here.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 30, 2009
Didn't like "The Wrestler".
russak - July 30, 2009
Good to know
Dewey N - July 30, 2009
We almost made it to the warning track!
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Thinking back to Cleveland, 7-0 is NOTHING!
msb - July 30, 2009
We have a 0% chance to win according to fg...
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
Derek Holland looks like a CGI
Dewey N - July 30, 2009
Man i wish this guy had a perfect game going
butterednakedman - July 30, 2009
SCARIEST SCREEN NAME WINNER.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
This is like Washburn but with more strikeouts.
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Rangers dealing hard for Halladay, money is no object?
Rizzs was just handed a note on the radio
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
If they trade off Elvis in a deal for Halladay I'm going to laugh my ass off.
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
It says, "Trim eyebrows."
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
You really are a funny asshole!
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
One out of two ain't bad.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
What
Rizzs might want to consider trimming his eyebrows.
Not everyone can be as baby-smooth as Brad Adam, though.
section331 - July 30, 2009
S'ok - Kermit's my pal. He's just fucking with me.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
I figured as much
But I still stand by my assessment.
section331 - July 30, 2009
This is true.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
That
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Crap, I meant to say that's what I just heard.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Oh, please do it.
russak - July 30, 2009
Get as many of those young prospects out of Texas as possible!
esoteric - July 30, 2009
So sez their version of Pravda.
here
msb - July 30, 2009
I'd like to see it happen just because
1.) It does make it more likely that they can overtake the Angels this season, which would be sweet.
2.) It harms them in the long run, which helps the Mariners.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Millwood may not start monday due to a strained ass!
Also I hope they do the deal.
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
Hmm. Would they really give up Feliz, Smoak, and another prospect?
russak - July 30, 2009
Gosh I hope so.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
I highly doubt it.
Teej - July 30, 2009
Me too, would you consider Nolan Ryan to be a bit of a wild card in the process?
All the bones he’s made about complete game type pitchers.
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
hahah
butterednakedman - July 30, 2009
I love how
When the games go bad, this forum has the attention span of a 5-year old on ritalin and Red Bull.
section331 - July 30, 2009
Huh, what?
msb - July 30, 2009
Would you like a sugar cookie, little girl?
section331 - July 30, 2009
Sure!
Can I go play in the wading pool, please?
msb - July 30, 2009
NO!
Nothing but donuts and sleep deprivation!
section331 - July 30, 2009
Fritters!
msb - July 30, 2009
Ok, that's just creepy
And it’s too long to go into, but perhaps someday we can talk about it over a beer.
section331 - July 30, 2009
im down for a 6th rangers homerun
butterednakedman - July 30, 2009
Not be "that guy," but we really care about capitalization and punctuation here.
I mean REALLY care. So in the future…
esoteric - July 30, 2009
(And of course I only notice this because the game isn't exactly scintillating)
esoteric - July 30, 2009
And I think it's best not to root for the opposition.
(Eyebrows being an exception.)
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
It must be starting to cool down a bit-- all the birds are back at the feeders.
msb - July 30, 2009
Wilson with the putout!!
MFAN - July 30, 2009
And some teasing, it looks like from the reaction.
msb - July 30, 2009
Jack attack!

Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
Do you have a job?
Pessimistic Optimist - July 30, 2009
Hallmark Card Author.
msb - July 30, 2009
I found that movie to be disappointing.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
What movie?
msb - July 30, 2009
I thought you were referring to "(500) Days Of Summer"
The main character is a Hallmark Card author.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Haven't seen it--
I assumed I would at some point, for the Gordon Levitt factor.
msb - July 30, 2009
It's very good, don't get me wrong. He's fantastic in it, yet again.
But there are huge problems with the plotting and with the motivations of the main female character.
The best sequence — which you really ought to see if possible — is set to Hall & Oates’ “You Make My Dreams.” Pure awesome.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
What are you insinuating?
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
That wasn't meant as a shot or anything by the way.
Pessimistic Optimist - July 30, 2009
Studying for the bar exam, I would imagine.
Which, if he’s anything like me, is code for “fucking off until a week before the exam and then engaging in pants-shittingly frenetic cramming.”
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Good to know our future legal system is in such well-prepared hands.
msb - July 30, 2009
I was participating in gamethreads the night before day 1 of my exam.
Unbelievably, I passed without a hitch. I even passed the Character & Fitness part!
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Nope. Just wrapped up a clerkship...
about to take a vacation
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
Do you mind if I ask whether it was federal or state?
And if federal, which circuit? I clerked too.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
N D Cal
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
Nice. Figured it'd be West Coast.
7th Circuit for me.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Do you practice in Seattle?
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
Heavens no.
Chicago. Though I’m moving to Madison soon.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Cool.
Attractive Nuisance - July 30, 2009
Chicago is fantastic, I worry that Madison will be...less so.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Hah, I guess you found something to do...
JMKaustin - July 30, 2009
Here comes the rally!
msb - July 30, 2009
Hah! Fuck you, Holland!
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
Leadoff walk is a bad omen for the pitcher.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
I love that they're booing Washington.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Hahaha
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Wait it's the 9th inning?
Huh.
appleshampoo - July 30, 2009
Funny how fast games go when you don't put anyone on base.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Fuck Texas
gregrabble - July 30, 2009
How bout, "2 outs so what".
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
That was a long time ago.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
2 down, who cares.
How about that?
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Closer.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Giminiy Cricket it's 2 outs, we don't care about these outs we'll put a rally together!
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Why so serious, Batman?
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
I don't like it, it just doesn't fit.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Um, that was a question for you, not a slogan.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
I'm serious. Because, I want a good slogan.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Second inning, fuck it what's on ESPN?
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
VH-1 Where Are They Now would have been better entertainment.
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
Heheheheh
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Goodbye shutout!
esoteric - July 30, 2009
YES NO SHUT OUT
gregrabble - July 30, 2009
HAHAHAHAHHAHA, no shutout.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
Yay! Fuck Texas!
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
We cling to our petty victories so dearly, don't we?
I’m happy too.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
After last year I like to cheer everything good that happens.
No matter how meaningless it may be.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
God last year was such a black hole.
I can barely remember huge chunks of the season.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Did he really just take him out?
I would punch Washington in the face if he tried to take me out with 1 out left and a CGSO on the line. Fuck that.
TheTank123 - July 30, 2009
He had 120 pitches.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
In theory it wasn't a bad move. In theory.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Any retard can get Jose Lopez to ground out.
joof - July 30, 2009
Fuck 120 pitches.
Rookie of the Year it and throw the damn ball underhand.
TheTank123 - July 30, 2009
Yeah, should have at least waited for a run to score, especially when you're up 7.
joof - July 30, 2009
He probably shouldn't have even been out there in the 9th considering he had yet to throw +100 pitches this year.
ThundaPC - July 30, 2009
Sweeney dinger? Please?
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
C'mon Hot Stuff!
msb - July 30, 2009
OH NO HE DIDN'T.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
And here come the M's!
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
Dude if we hit a grand slam here we only need 2 more runs
gregrabble - July 30, 2009
PINCH HITTER
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Time to find your home run swing again, Chris.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Inside the parker!
msb - July 30, 2009
From Chris Shelton, no less!
esoteric - July 30, 2009
Hard to be a catcher ...
have to put your arm around large sweaty pitchers, and lie to them.
msb - July 30, 2009
This image made me laugh
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
Rob Johnson ignited a rally!
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
He IS this team's sparkplug, after all.
esoteric - July 30, 2009
He's the ignitor, obviously.
joof - July 30, 2009
Ginge :(
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
Shelton has sort of a Tim Spall look.
msb - July 30, 2009
Really? I don't see it myself.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
I think it's the chinlessness.
Tim Spall of 20 years ago, of course.
A shorter Mark Williams?
msb - July 30, 2009
Whatever, please trade Washburn.
MFAN - July 30, 2009
Why did they have their gloves covering their faces?
I know it’s something obvious, probably.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
They don't want to catch Swine Flu from Padilla.
Eyeball Kid - July 30, 2009
So no one can read their lips.
Teej - July 30, 2009
The game is over.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
They're planning on TPing the M's hotel.
Teej - July 30, 2009
Oh!!!!!!!!!!
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
Wasn't there an M's commercial with everyone covering their mouths?
Kermit. - July 30, 2009
They were throwing up from Cirillo's performance at the plate.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Yeah, I think so.
It certainly sounds familiar.
M'sin.. - July 30, 2009
But it's rude to be seen on TV saying,
Well this series is going to be easy.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
Gingers aren't even real people
So why is Chris Shelton allowed to play baseball?
Tube - July 30, 2009
It was really hard to resist chanting
FIRECROTCH! FIRECROTCH! when he was at the plate the last time I was at Safeco. There were lots of kids around…
appleshampoo - July 30, 2009
Holland has made a murcual rise?
Really, Krueger?
msb - July 30, 2009
5 degrees.
kevin_ess - July 30, 2009
He couldn't even get mercurial out, it was murcural.
msb - July 30, 2009
Wilson looks nothing like Steve-O
Griffey really comes off as the older guy that tries way too hard to still be young and cool.
BigR - July 30, 2009
Because 30-year old males didn't watch Jackass when it was on?
Griffey has been apparently calling Wilson that for years.
msb - July 30, 2009
Just seems like a horrible reach of a nick name to me.
BigR - July 30, 2009
hmm.
msb - July 30, 2009
I don't know,
I’ll eat some crow, he looks somewhat like him, it just seems like a stupid nickname.
BigR - July 30, 2009
