Replay of Dave's intro to the game, they put the Lollipop song over it.
.

JamMaster-Rod, always there in the clutch.
Jam Master J would roll over in his grave if he saw that.
Yeah, that was pretty weak.
Pretty much offensive in every single way.

I hate A-Rod.

No way.

; )

Master baiting, Kermit!
Except not really... I just wanted to say that.

How do you link to individual comments?

Uncle, you got me.

On a Mac, it’s control-click on the time date stamp. Click on properties, copy the location and paste that into your link. Right click for Windows.

Did you have the FELIX 500 graphic prepared before the game Jeff?
Does this image bear the hallmarks of preparation?
No

But it is instantly one of my favorite clumsily mocked-up chart images of all time

The more I look at it the happier it makes me.
Good point.

Well done sir.

Felix.

18 wins.
10 no-decisions, 6 that went into extra innings.

King Felix!

Not a Cy Young, (congratulations to Greinke) but a very good year for Felix, and his value is ours for 2 more years. I trust that Jack can do something with that. Congratulations to Felix also. That seems kind of cold. He pitched his heart out at times this year. I guess that’s how it works. He’ll get paid, and the M’s will suffer thru, as usual. I wish he could get the award this year and I wish we could re-sign him, but logic will always prevail.

King Felix: A new age has begun, an age of winning. And all will know that the .500 Mariners gave their last breath to defend it.
In their defense, this is the first year they were in a position to defend it.

This is a best defensive team the M’s (or maybe anyone has put together) that could defend their offense). No matter what they have provided the defense.

It is a quote from 300.
Yeah that movie was pretty good when no one was talking
This will not be over quickly and you will not enjoy this. I am not your queen.
On true talent, is this team better than the 2007 team?

I know both overperformed, but to what degree, I’m not sure.

This team is better.

There is actually a core to build on this offseason.

Oh I'm definitely more confident than I was after 2008.

But I’m wondering if this team is was better — just in 2009 — than the 88-win team.

Yes, by my quick estimations the 2009 team is at least a couple wins better in talent.
I wonder if Felix will be brought in for a relief appearance if the M's are up in the 5th inning.

If so, he could conceivably make his way to 20 wins. I know wins are meaningless to us, but they mean something to the people who vote on the Cy Young winners.

I imagine that they will do anything he agrees to to capitalize on the award.

I just don’t think he’s going to get it this year. Grenkie has a lock on it, he deserves it. I don’t think another win by the King would give him the award, but I would be happily surprised.

I am pretty sure those potential vulture wins would have no impact on the voters.

They would know those last two wins were vultured.

Good Point. They'll know and it will make no difference as it should.
If they're dumb enough to vote based on wins, there's a chance that it would make an impact on them
You act as if the voters do research
They should if there's no health issues
That game was a blast to be at.

The few fans that were there were into it. Beltre got commended for his fine defensive efforts, the Griffey homer was celebrated by an uproar, and the crowd was REALLY feeling King Felix.
One of the more pleasurable games I’ve been to this season.
