Are we allowed to freak out? Just a little?
x

I thought Z had one of these

True story

There is one of those in the roof control room (saw it at FanFest).

I have one at my desk
I know it hasn't even been a month, but

Ichiro is on pace for 16 RBI’s.

I don't think Ron Washington understands snow.
Isn't that a picture of him?
gasp

there’s white powder everywhere!

Even WPA agrees...

…this game was lost entirely by the offense tonight.

When Rob Johnson is the biggest contribution to a Felix loss, then someone

is doing something horribly wrong. Wak, could it be you?

This game sucked.
I think it's safe to say this was the worst game of the year so far....

Now we get to look forward to Greinke vs. Snell!

Greinke vs. Snell couldn't possibly be as bad as this.

Unless Yuni homered four times and somehow injured Felix and Guti in one fell swoop.

It's more likely Yuni gets them sent to jail

People Killed By Yuni: None, as far as I know
People in prisonl b/c Yuni: 1

Endy Chavez had his season murdered by Yuni. I think that should count.
You should have seen the last series
This has been a terrible four games.
Ok Z, we've had enough of this.

Just DFA Sweeney and Colome, bring up Langerhans and Hannahan, stick Bradley at DH, and limit Griffey to less than 100 more PAs over the course of the season.

Seriously. It's like everyone knows this.
I don't know what is stopping him.

He seems like the kind of person to do this without hesitation, but someone (coughWakamastucough) must be holding him back a little. I could be wrong, and likely am, though.

I think Sweeney singling in the 9th buys him another 3 months
I think the fact that he hit the ball hard that one time

should give him the edge over Griffey.

While I obviously agree with your message

How is this the appropriate thread? Sweeney had an RBI single. Griffey was only 1-4 but he didn’t strand any runners. The real problems were Lopez, Figgins, Kotchman, and Wilson, and none of them are going anywhere.

Slow and steady failure. The most boring kind of failure.
True.

On the other hand, we had the much more exciting kind of failure all weekend, fast and sudden.

So enjoy! Variety is the spice of life, after all.

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: SPRING TRAINING GAMES DON'T MATTER

oh wait

How can you have said it a thousand times if you've said it once?
You can say something after saying it one time
You can say something after saying it one time
I'll rec this when you get to a thousand times
But then my rec/comment ratio would plummet
Unless he rec'd it every single time.
Our biggest problem was that we couldn't chain up rallies

I wonder why. Could it be because of the ordering of the lineup? I mean, with Lopez and Griffey batting 4-5, what could go wrong?

Ken Griffey Jr. left zero runners on base today
Apparently Griffey is supposed to go 4-4 every time he is in the lineup.
Homerun once a month would be fine by me.
Homerun soon would be fine with me, I'm missing my red meat.
I'm just stoked he only hit one GB to the right side

That, my friends, is progress. That is the belief system at work.

Our biggest problem tonight was "not enough doilies".
Well I said I'd be realistically happy if we were .500 when we got Lee back.

If we can win the next 2 that’ll be true. This is the only thing keeping me from being really, really upset.

Clearly you guys don't have faith in the Belief System...

look on the bright side- all of our relievers are fresh, which is good, cause according to Wak, you’re only two days away from needing a 7 man bullpen. Second, Yuni is no longer on the team so he won’t go barreling out into left field and take out Milton’s knee. Third, Cliff Lee will soon join the team and get to enjoy losing 2-0 and 3-0 games. Fourth, the team’s lack of offense makes these games go so much quicker- I was able to have time to do the dishes and start a couple of loads of laundry with the extra 25 minutes or so given to me by a 2 hour and 45 minute game.

Wak just needs to tell the guys to get some KC BBQ, get shit faced, skip BP, and shuffle the line-up- replace Griffey with Tui, throw Byrnes in left and go with the all bunt offense against Grienke. Maybe when he tries to field the fourth or fifth one he’ll slip and blow an achilles.

Are you saying that M's fans

should Trust The Process?

Awwww

Another loss. Maybe next time.

Maybe the time after next.

I was able to go to one game last year and it was the Greinke start at Safeco. This offense does not strike me as more potent than last years’.

Not sure if it matters

But the weather was awful. windy out to right center, cold, rainy, eight hundred people in attendance. Miserable.

So frustrating.

But not panicking yet.

I'm blaming Tim Tschida. His being on the field was the reason we lost.

Oh, and Rob Johnson.

After these losses, Jeff's good humour is the only thing keeping me going.

The Kyle Davies face thing was great, can still make me smile again even after such a sucktastic game.

RJ with the biggest contribution...I dont...I just...Oh boy, Im going to bed.

Poor Felix.

Look at it this way:

the Red Sox and Dodgers, two teams that every expects to be really good this year are also two games under .500.

Yup plus the Sox have the Yankees and Rays to deal with.
Yes, but we're currently playing the White Sox and the Royals

we need to beat the crappy teams because these should be easy wins.

Oh well, it’s not nearly time to panic yet. Four straight losses, but four very winnable games. If we go 9-153 with a -150 run differential, I would say we were a lot more unlucky than just bad

Brad Thompson has gills

Icthyosapien!

I think you mean Thomson
Come on Figgy

The walks are nice, but the dude’s on pace for 170 strikeouts when he’s usually somewhere around 100. I know his BABIP is low, and if you bring it up to his career level he’d be hitting ~.264. Even worse is that his line drive % is down and fly ball % which probably won’t be getting him to his career .340 BABIP. He’s not the biggest problem, and 20 game sample size, but dammit I want the annoying Chone Figgins who hits .300, not the one that hits .190

Drayer had a note

about Figgins and Ichiro, this morning
