Yeah, I doubt it. This year has been a statistical Easter egg hunt, and I still haven't checked in the garden.
Willie Bloomquist, Seattle Mariner: .263/.322/.324
2010 Seattle Mariners: .236/.298/.339
That bench player we all couldn't wait to get rid of out-hit our entire team.
Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes you end up with Josh Wilson.

I was trying to get this week off to a good start, goddamnit
pdb - October 4, 2010
It's a cheery fact in that 2010 is now behind us.
Eyebrows - October 4, 2010 via mobile
Come on this is funny
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
Willie Bloomquist!
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
I love being a Mariners fan.
This really is funny.
Eyebrows - October 4, 2010 via mobile
He could've been a starter!
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
He could have been MVP
pdb - October 4, 2010
But not a contender.
At least the Reds give him that.
abender20 - October 4, 2010
I comletely forgot he went there.
Eyeball Kid - October 4, 2010
You're not alone here.
perfectstrat - October 4, 2010
See! Converting to Ms fandom was the right move.
JAH - October 4, 2010
I agree 100% with this comment.
It’s hilarious.
I mean, really, Princess Willie outhit our team. The one with Ichiro on it.
eponymous_coward - October 4, 2010
I didn't say it wasn't funny
pdb - October 4, 2010
Well at least we had more power.
DINGERS!
dkulich - October 4, 2010
101 dingers, 101 losses.
And the best part was that at the game, on the video board they showed a woman who was at the game celebrating her 101st birthday. It was perfect.
Eyebrows - October 4, 2010 via mobile
Hope you enjoyed the last baseball game you'll ever see. 2010 Mariners baseball!
Eyebrows - October 4, 2010 via mobile
Assuming she maintains her good health, we'll have no choice but to make RRS our ace.
abender20 - October 4, 2010
She just might. We thought she looked great for 101 years old.
Sec 108 - October 4, 2010
Well Jose Lopez sure did screw up those projections of us having fewer homers than losses
seattlebruin - October 4, 2010
Of course, by the time I respond to sb, you've done this.
JY - October 4, 2010
Of course he out-hit our team.
This is what you all get for wanting to change the site logo. Are you happy now, bitch?
abender20 - October 4, 2010
At least Josh is grit-free.
msb - October 4, 2010
And look what happened!
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
If anything, we have learned that we need more grit.
JY - October 4, 2010
I saw a preview for a movie last night called True Grit and naturally assumed it would be starring Boom Boom.
abender20 - October 4, 2010
This recalls a very old meme
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
How can you win without grit?
I think this proves it. Science.
perfectstrat - October 4, 2010
I have even better news. Willie Bloomquist is going to be a free agent!
abender20 - October 4, 2010
I bet you he's the next Jose Bautista.
He just needs someone to give him a shot at starting regularly.
Eyebrows - October 4, 2010 via mobile
I would wonder if Josh Wilson is the next Mariner turned Royal.
But they’ve been strangely competent recently, or at least their farm system is no longer bad. What they do with that is another matter.
JY - October 4, 2010
The scary thing is what happens for them when Moustakas, Hosmer, and Montgomery come up.
They could actually be relevant.
abender20 - October 4, 2010
Myers and Lamb aren't exactly slouches eiter.
Whether Myers can catch or not, no one knows exactly, but he can certainly hit.
JY - October 4, 2010
Has it been 2 years already?
quacker27 - October 4, 2010
Yuniesky Betancourt out-hit the team as well
We could build a solid roster of shitty* players that are better than the collective Mariners
*Shitty meaning that your thought after hearing the player’s name is That Guy is Shitty!
tootthekazoo - October 4, 2010
How many of you would have turned your nose up at Alberto Callaspo or Kevin Kouzmanoff for third? Guess what!
How about Juan Uribe or Miguel Tejada at short? That would not have looked appealing, right?
abender20 - October 4, 2010
Man, in about a week this will all seem hilarious to me
tootthekazoo - October 4, 2010
I would have taken Uribe!
Poochie - October 4, 2010
I manually calculated the Mariners hitting stats without Ichiro.
I used the BR stats and their formula for calculating OBP and SLG.
Non-Ichiro Mariner totals: .224/.287/.332
Jed MC - October 4, 2010
*entire fanbase barfs*
Jon S. - October 4, 2010
At least no one likes Josh Wilson
Poochie - October 4, 2010
At least Josh Wilson was cheaper
Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for Jack Wilson.
The Ancient Mariner - October 4, 2010
And just like the Mariners, Willie Bloomquist also won't be playing in this postseason
Robert - October 4, 2010
Boom Boom plays for the Reds.
Fucking A.
harkening - October 4, 2010
He was acquired too late to be playoff-eligible
Jeff Sullivan - October 4, 2010
Was he left off Cincy's post season roster?
He first came up in 2002, so he never made the playoffs with the M’s.
quacker27 - October 4, 2010
Well there's my Monday morning kick to the crotch sponsored by Lookout Landing.
Thingray - October 4, 2010
I want to flag this for abuse.
