Kelley sounded decent in the first inning he pitched.

Unfortunately I was listening on the radio, how did he look?

Pretty good although his first inning was better than his second
The K to Thames was pretty great. Haven't seen the pitch fx velo, but it was fast.

K to Cabrera was nice too.

Gave up some fairly deepish FBs in the 2nd inning.

The caller has no confidence in Wak as an in-game manager.
Vinnie agrees he tends to stick with pitchers too long.

Why. Aardsma after that first hitter, should have come out of the game.

That's laughable.
Yeah, he's a "coach's coach."

Whatever the fuck that means.

Or did he say that Wak SHOULD be a coach's coach...

…whatever, it’s still fucking stupid.

I thought he was a player's coach, not a coach's coach.

I liked the fella who thought he needed to play more ‘small ball’

I should just turn the radio off immediately following the game

but the idiocy…draws me like a moth to a lightbulb.

Why do people demand small ball?

Are they under the false impression that bunting and hitting the ball to the right side of the infield creates more runs or do they think that clutch small-ball runs are worth more than moneyball runs? (reaching into the book of Hendu there)

Vinnie thinks you need three or four John Oleruds in your lineup.
I'm pretty sure I don't want four 1Bs in my lineup.
Well, Cammie, he used to strike out a lot, but because you had John Olerud, and Stan Javier and Edgar to make up for him.
I irrationally loved Stan Javier in 2000/2001.
I don't think it was irrational.
I'm pretty sure I want 4 1Bs in my lineup if I get someone else to field for them
That would be fantastic and have nothing to do with small ball.

Assuming he meant 2000-vintage Olerud.

I prefer the 2002 model

Or 1993 Olerud if money in no object

I swear they only let the worst ones actually call in.

My only problem with him is his penchant to not pinch-hit but that’s really not that big a deal. It seems like too many people have short memories.

Heh

Our offense consisted of four homeruns and a double.

Thank you for nothing!

Please consider this properly-formed sentence a token of my appreciation for your baseball club’s ineptitude!

Be thankful that your team is still in contention despite having the exact same record as our team.
Maybe if your team got the job done

 South-siders wouldn’t have to concern with those pot-smoking hippie Mariners.

I'm so disappointed that we weren't able to help out a team who has Hawk Harrelson as their broadcaster
What the fuck is with all these White Sox fans coming over here?
The lesson, as always, is that fans of other teams should piss off back to their dumpsters.
If it weren't obvious where they came from

I would guess they were Portlanders based on their level of PA-ness

hey now
Even Jesus hates Portland. He said something once about getting the Timbers out of his eyes.
and look what happened to him

he’s dead.

Say....

Didn’t the White Sox win a game due to an Aardsma blown save?

sure freakin did

Not that the Mariners deserved to win it based off the gargantuan single run they scored… but fuck the White Sox for ruining the only Mariners game I got to see. God, I fucking hate them.

Eww, White Sox fans.
-0.8! Solid.
He'll drop about 12 places on the WPA leaderboard for relievers.

I’m really surprised his numbers have stayed so good for so long. I mean the strikeouts are there, but the dude throws almost 90% 94mph fastballs and couldn’t get an off-speed pitch over to save his life. I don’t see how he’s any different than he’s been his whole career, aside from being more lucky, pitching in a big park, and having an amazing outfield defense behind him.

Hall

Does it make sense to anybody that he didn’t get a start at 3rd with a LHP starting instead of Hannahan? I would think Hannahan’s defense would still make him a reasonable starter, but didn’t they get Hall for just this reason, and had him available for today’s game?

Hall arrived early this morning on a red-eye so Wak wasn't going to start him.
k

sounds good… i had read all morning that he would be available, but I would have to agree with Wakamatsu on that one. However, I would desire to have some speaks with him about the whole bunting in the first inning with your best right-handed hitter thing.

Please capitalize
WHERE IS YOUR FLIPPER NOW WASHBURN HAHAHAHAAHA!
In the stands.
Bonzer.

“Tough one today!My calf had just turned into a cow!I left my command in the dugout in the 5th n 6th.bout 2fly 2 cleveland!”—hyphen18

He needs to post on his blog more often.
jeff has been flirting with shannon drayer on twitter

and hyphen18 seems to be a different person to the guy on the mound who delivered the biggest f bomb ever uttered on a baseball broadcast after issuing a walk.

I find their flirts adorable.
We're getting awfully close to being within 5 games of .500 by September 1
If only some one would make me a graph
I wonder if I can change the site url to Loafiefororgandonor.com
If the M's aren't within 5 games of .500, you'll be needing one of those organs.
He should get in contact with Beltre's guy
