These games are so much more fun than nailbiters

I love the picture.

I keep rotating the chart 90 degrees clockwise
It looks like a person laughing.

Can't unsee!

Hopefully Figgins does for Seattle what Abreu did for the Angels last year
and helps them learn plate discipline
Punkhazard - April 16, 2010
Plate discipline may be contagious.
Allen Wu - April 16, 2010
Winning streak?
Winning streak!
Wilder. - April 16, 2010
That was an awesome first M's game for my wife, she'll never forget that.
11 runs, some weird bunt shit, a couple nice defensive plays, and a nice night by Ichiro!
lailaihei - April 16, 2010
This is the team that Z built.
There’s still some changes I’d make (Griffey, Sweeney, Johnson – but it’s still early) and hey, PLAYOFFS!
TrustBaseball - April 16, 2010
ha ha YES!
waldo rojas - April 16, 2010
I like how the biggest suckfest scored 2 runs and drove in 1.
svart aske - April 16, 2010
That should work everyday.
TrustBaseball - April 16, 2010
During this game Rob Johnson
Let a ball hit him. Not a foul tip. Just a normal pitch. It was stopped not by his glove but by his body.
What catcher does that??
Oh and Playoffs!!!
short - April 16, 2010
It won't be long before the pitchers who feel like he calls a good game,
got to have him, etc, realize that Moore is the way to go. RJ is not long for this team. Although he did do a good job of getting on tonight. If only this catcher could catch.
TrustBaseball - April 17, 2010
We are playing for .500 ball tomorrow
Suck on that, early season depression.
OlSalty - April 16, 2010
So this is what unbridled happiness feels like.
Fuck you, first week of the season.
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
Also, free sex for all!
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
Sorry I missed this beating of the Tigers.
Had a rock concert to go to. It was amazing.
James F'n X - April 17, 2010
Only half a game behind the Nationals!
aguay - April 17, 2010
That's just cruel.
TrustBaseball - April 17, 2010
Bryce Harp...
Oh wait.
Hopefulmsfan - April 17, 2010
I feel like I have not adequately expressed how awesome this stomping was
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
THIS IS THE WEAKEST TEAM WE WILL FIELD ALL YEAR
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
AHHHHHHHHHH
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
We may well be OK.
We are not set up to be an offensive powerhouse, but if pitching and defense play out the way they could, we’ll be fine.
TrustBaseball - April 17, 2010
Wins we get when this team is crippled are much, much more important than wins we get when we're at full strength
It’s probably luck, but it’s luck that effects our playoff chances supremely when our worst ttrue talent roster overperforms while waiting for our best true talent to be ready.
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
I'm an old woman.
What the heck does this mean? Do you not believe that we could go to the playoffs with this team? I don’t think we can (we need to have Lee and Bedard and we need to lose Griffey and Sweeney) but I think Jack Z knows how to fix this. I’m purposely trying to be as confusing as you. Let’s straighten this out.
TrustBaseball - April 17, 2010
It means we got lucky
And even an old woman should appreciate that.
short - April 17, 2010
I can appreciate luck.
I honestly don’t think that’s what the game was tonight. It wasn’t luck. It was the team that Z fielded. It won’t perform this way offensively every night like it did tonight, but it has that potential against some teams. And Z thinks that the pitching and defense can do this against a whole lot of teams. Personally, I think that Jr., Sweeney, and Johnson don’t have a place on the team that takes us into October baseball. and I don’t think GMZ does either, but they are here for now and we are looking at an almost .500 team. We’ll get there and beyond. It’s going to be fun.
TrustBaseball - April 17, 2010
It means that our crappy players replacing our good players overperformed
And if they overpeformed in their limited time here, it means that even if their better replacement regulars perform exactly up to their expectations, the overall result will be better than then projections expected. To what degree, we don’t know. Or maybe our natural replacements underperform, but we know that the most likely outcome puts us ahead if we assume our normal people perform exactly as their projections suggest. When the replacements do way better than they were supposed to, it changes our ultimate yearly outcome.
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
God, typos
Hope you get the point anyways, otherwise I will elabortate.
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
I must say I was rather impressed with the crowd tonight.
It got loud a few times, lots of people seemed fully aware of how awesome Felix was (the groan when he gave up the first hit was much more pronounced than it ordinarily would have been) and it just seemed more involved than usual. It’d be nice if that becomes a trend.
Aaron Campeau - April 17, 2010
I was at the game, and it seemed like the crowd was definitely more into it.
It didn’t seem like there needed to be much prompting from Big Brother (the scoreboards) for cheering to happen.
seattle_since_81 - April 17, 2010
However, the bitch in the Cubs t-shirt in my section that tried to start a "Let's Go Cubbies" chant
and also attempted to start the wave every two minutes and was paying so little attention to the game that she cheered loudly for the Tigers after cheering for the Mariners all game, should be impaled on the top of smith Tower.
Aaron Campeau - April 17, 2010
eh, don't be too hard on her, she's a Cubs fan
She probably thought she was attending a Cubs game.
OceanBird - April 17, 2010
No, she was a retard and deserves death
Aaron Campeau - April 17, 2010
Come on, man.
It’s not like she dissed on Milton Bradley.
Fearless Frog - April 17, 2010
But aren't all Cubs fans retards?
Someone needs to drive a truck full of real bears into Wrigley field. Torch wielding midgets wearing Milton Bradley masks could rile them up! That would show those Cubs fans.
OceanBird - April 17, 2010
That's showing some class
Sam Regens - April 17, 2010
I don't know what happened to LL's ability to interpret sarcasm but we need to put that shit on the side of a milk carton posthaste
Aaron Campeau - April 17, 2010
Seriously what is wrong with people.
People need to learn what LL is about and quick.
OlSalty - April 17, 2010
What is LL all about?
JAH - April 17, 2010
I didn't think it was sarcasm and I still agree.
Faux - April 17, 2010
No one really cheered unless the scoreboard said too, the crowd was pretty tepid even when Felix had a two strike count
But they did come alive when Gutierrez tripled and that was neat
