He is not yet dead
So put him back in bed
Keep him off the cart because he’s not yet dead.

Biggest Contribution: Miguel Batista

Now how many times have you written that all season, Jeff?

Now how many times have you written that all season ever, Jeff?

Term may apply more often off the field.

Biggest contribution with regards to befriending creepy saxophone players, for example.

Shannon just reminded us that Guti has been playing on a sore knee all season

on top of the most playing time he’s had so far

Six degrees story on the postgame.

Shannon asked Adam Moore if anyone in the clubhouse had talked with him about all the firsts he was experiencing, and he said that Sweeney had told him to take it all in, and as an example, mentioned that he had a ticket stub from his very first game, framed and on the wall of his home. Shannon then tossed the story over to Matt Pittman, because, as it happens, he was the one who gave Sweeney that game ticket.

As a kid he was at the KC game at the Dome where Sweeney made his debut, and hanging around after the game hoping for autographs, Sweeney swapped him some signed cards for the ticket stub. Pittman said he went home, got a few more stubs from the game from kids he knew had gone, and was back the next night to hand them off to Sweeney— who sent them to his family.

He told Sweeney the story at the start of the year, and Sweeney said “How old are you!?”

What a great story! Thank you.
How do you keep up with all things "Mariner"?

I’m very impressed with your knowledge of all the behind the scenes stuff. Thanks for posting for all to see.

Great story.
I like our post-game radio people, Drayer & Pitman.

Subject line please.
They are indeed awesome

And are fun on twitter too. Salk’s not bad when he fills in. NY Vinny…ehhh…

We're still doing charts?
Charts are fun!
I think Ichiro just passed Stan Musial for consecutive games without back-to-back hitless games

(I post it in the “Batting Title” thread below, but heck why not here as well.)

It’s not DiMaggio’s record but it is nice again to see Ichiro in a list with past baseball greats.
Ichiro really evokes history. Look at the list!

1. 216 (1900-1902) Nap Lajoie
2. 209 (1896-1897) Willie Keeler
3. 198 (1928-1929) Lloyd Waner
4. 191 (1934-1935) Doc Cramer
5. 175 (2008-2009) Ichiro Suzuki
6. 174 (1943-1944) Stan Musial
7. 173 (1922-1923) Rogers Hornsby
8. 164 (1923-1924) Earl Sheely
9. 164 (1920-1921) George Sisler

I love how this means opposing teams are unable to hold Ichiro hitless for a string of more than 8 or 9 at bats. The man cannot be contained.

I didn't even know this record existed.

Figures he would break that one eventually.

And look at the dates all those guys played!
Good stuff. I bet he checks out old records and makes them goals.
He's baseball's version of an Xbox achievement whore.
Ichiro himself most likely doesn't know (or maybe not even care) about this record

It’s his fans and the media who find out where his feats line up in history.

79-72

- 7 games over .500
- 596 runs scored

Who-hoo!

They couldn't be more on pace for the 630-650 we were projecting to open the year
597 runs scored would be a pace of 640.49, which would round down

SO YOU’RE WRONG!!!! THEY COULD BE MORE ON PACE

Maybe we would be doing better if Jose Lopez started contributing.

That assbag.

It's amazing that this late in the season we haven't been mathematically eliminated from the postseason yet

Reigning AL champ Tampa Bay was eliminated by us yesterday.
Sure we might be eliminated today, but I mean jeez, there’s only 11 games left to play in the whole season.
Pretty respectable (and fun!) for a team which lost 101 and was dead last in the league a year ago.
