…playoffs?

...playoffs?!

Wakamatsu's favorite word is "awful"
“These guys have done an awful lot this year,‘’ he said. "We’ve went through touch stretches this year and the point is we are going to stay strong and stay together and get back on the horse. We’ve got Felix (Hernandez) going tomorrow, We talk about belief systems and we have to maintain that.’’
He got the awful part right.

Seriously, Wak seems like the perfect guy managing this team. It is a refreshing change from McLaren.

Olson very pitched nicely today.

So...

Who still thinks defense isn’t important?

We're just lucky the big three are going against Texas...

Otherwise I’d say this season is OVER.

We're running out Felix-Morrow-Wash-Erik so I like our chances of winning at least 2 games.
WHY THE FUCK WERE PEOPLE TRYING TO DO THE WAVE IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH????
I'm pretty sure the opposing team has scored every time the crowd has done the wave in that same inning this season.

It sure feels like it anyway. It just makes the ensuing runs even worse :(

I don't even understand why you would do it then.

Isn’t the point to rally the home team? We didn’t really need to rally in the top of the 9th. And if it’s because they’re bored, why are you at a baseball game if you’re bored in the top of the 9th when your team is winning?

Have you seen the segments when they ask people to spell the names of the players?

I think that explains a lot.

I hate the wave.

The wave must die!

This was, unfortunately, my high school mascot.

At least Lopez is becoming somewhat useful at the plate.

Hes creeping up on Griffey.

God I went to the gym with the 2-0 lead in the 7th.

Come out of the gym and check my phone (I have MLB alerts from espin) and saw that I had 4 new messages from the game. I immediately knew it was bad but what the fuck.

Whatever Felix will stop the bleeding

Hopefully Felix can overcome cheezburger night.
Oh Jesus is that tomorrow?

Poor Mariners

thank god I have no photoshop.

Felix can has cheezburger.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF BLUE FUCKS HAPPENED
The wave

and shitty defense. And Aardsma regression.

Pretty much sums it up
So... Andruw Jones is hitting a HR every 10 at-bats

and we can’t get a replacement level SS… fuck this sport.

How are these two related?
Jones is freely available talent

and he’s golden.

I suppose he is freely available.

He just doesn’t seem like a SS candidate is all.

Yeah, a HR ever 10 at bats is nice, very nice, but we need a SS.

That’s a serious hole for the M’s. Are you suggesting Jones for DH? That’s a different story. That would be an upgrade on Griffey and Sweeney, but what about the leadership, the veteran grittiness, the pies, the smiles, the tickles, the hugs, the kisses, and the physics (is that what we’re calling it now)?

There was a guy who wanted to sign him during the offseason

and word around the campfire is that gentleman was pretty handsome.

Whoever that sexy guy was, I was fully with him.

Jones is not a guy you give up on. Not with that track record, and not at that age.

Fortunately, the Rangers are kicking Angel's butts tonight 8-1 top of the 8th.

I think the M’s will be in a good (dis)position to take 3 of 4 from Texas in the coming days.

The Texas won 8-1 and are now in 1st place.

We are 4 1/2 back and our next four games are here with our best pitchers starting. Beats the heck out of our 4th place position 18 games back last year at this time. Today’s loss was tough, but this is a new year.

NEW DAY NEW WAY NEW DAY NEW WAY NEW DAY NEW WAY
NEW DAY NO WAY NEW DAY NO WAY NEW DAY NO WAY
Olson is looking pretty good

I hate the stupid Orioles. They lie down for the creepy Angels and then have to show up against us. Bums.

We should have let them get a 4 run lead in each game, that's when they're the weakest
I didn't see the game

Only occasional updates from a mobile Gameday. For those who saw, how was Aardsma? Was it pretty much just the defense that screwed him over?

He wasn't great but the IF defense lost the game.
