I am sorry for going too far with the “pretending that Suzuki is Japanese when we all know he’s like a 3rd generation Hawaiian”. It’s clear that I’m too much o a newbie to be ironically racist.
Weren't the A's projected by BP to win, like 3 or 4 fewer games than the Mariners?
And this was on the road. I know the Mausoleum is a craphole that no fan goes to but IIRC home field advantage has more to do with just playing in another, unfamiliar city than it is about decibel levels.
We may be the new Angels, but the A's will always be the A's
The team, their fans, their players, they can all jump off the Bay Bridge for all I care. Not like they’d drown, what with being fucking wizards and shit. Hogwarts America over there.
Lee and Bedard will be making Suzuki cry for his mommy. I’m trying to not freak out too much because we could easily be 3-0 right now, you can’t win EVERY game and we’re only three in, and the A’s always do this shit.
I was thinking of a "I am more concerned with X" statement but with 3 games in, even then I can't make it.
Rob Johnson is crap but we knew that coming in. Jack Wilson looks really bad with the stick. What’s new? Milton Bradley got a jack, which is nice, but may be pressing, which isn’t… but again, 3 games.
It's actually kind of surprising that there aren't more Japanese-Hawaiians in pro sports.
That’s a very significant ethnic group in that state. I guess WRT baseball it may have to do with Hawaii not being California, Texas, or Florida, but still… it’s actually pretty common.
Dave Cameron makes a great point about the 6-man bullpen.
This is the worst time possible to be using it with Lee on the DL.
But then again, with Hannahan out, it’s “damned if you, damned if you don’t.” It’d be nice to have fresh arms for the back-half of the rotation, but one nick to Adam Moore, or a pulled hammy from Jack Wilson and suddenly you’re fucked.
I really hope those two guys come back quickly so we don’t have to deal with this awkward situations for too long.
Meaning the M's would be able to use him as a PH vs. righties off the bench in games Griffey is DHing, or as the #2 LH PH in games where a lefty is starting.
I like the idea of using Milton at DH vs. LHPs but that means that Sweeney’s spot is superfluous right now.
Last play of the game aside. The reason all the stat guys want him to DH is because he’s so freaking injury prone. The M’s are almost guaranteeing themselves Bradley will miss 30-40 games by playing him in LF 2/3rds of the time.
Eh, sorry to reference Earl Weaver twice in 20 minutes..
…but it’s always the case that a 4 man pen is too many guys when you’re doing well and 6 men isn’t enough. I get that it sucks to have to go deep into the ‘pen when your starters seem physically incapable of throwing more than 5 innings, but it’s not the end of the world. I really don’t see how a smaller pen really lost this game.
Of course, you'd be sending down Langerhans, not Tui or Johnson.
Personally, I like having 5 OFers because it means the team can use one of them to PH or run and still have an adequate backup for the inevitable Bradley injury. Plus, Bradley himself can get removed in a blowout without leaving the team without a backup out there.
Okay
Shit.

Steven Baron is supposed to be a good defensive catcher
seattlebruin - April 7, 2010

Wak used to be a catcher when he played.
How does he not see how awful Johnson is?
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Must be because he's Japanese.

I can't stop laughing at this

seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
ARGH
JetersNeverProsper - April 7, 2010
WHY DON'T OUR LINE DRIVES EVER HIT THE GROUND?
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
LIKE I SAID
FUCK!
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
Okay now I'm scared all over again.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Damn this is gay
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
I'm staying up for one more batting round for us ....
… I hope.
Ender15 - April 7, 2010
So, uh, who else is feeling like this is pretty much a lost cause?
Or at least another 20 minutes of stress
OceanBird - April 7, 2010
I'm watching South Park and reading the reactions.
So yes
beastwarking - April 7, 2010
We got 158 more of these, don't give up yet
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
159 even!
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Not counting a rainout in Cleveland that won't be made up
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
Understandable
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
If we were playing Detroit or Baltimore this wouldn't be bad
I’d much rather face Cabrera or Adam Jones over any of this crap Oakland has. We’ve dealt with this shit for a good ten years now, will it ever end?
OceanBird - April 7, 2010
Well they are in our division, so I doubt it.
MFAN - April 7, 2010
I knew it would be a loss after M's brought up Lowe
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Damn, this is fun.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
"With leather so smooth it has seamless seams. Wrap you head around that concept"
Who writes this crap
Kermit. - April 7, 2010
What the hell?
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010
Crappy radio ad for a truck.
Kermit. - April 7, 2010
That pitch looked like it was right down the middle
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
JEEZE.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
God damnit
Why can we not hit line drives like this?
Ender15 - April 7, 2010
FUCK YOU SWEENEY
Why can’t our Sweeney do that?
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Can he get some freaking playing time
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Good god I hope not.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
Preferably not...
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Aw shit
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
Boned.
Goose - April 7, 2010
Everything they hit is falling
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
I hate the A's.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
So do I.
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
I'm starting to not care about the outcome of this game
Not sure what this means
JLC - April 7, 2010
Baseball!
Jeff Sullivan - April 7, 2010
Welcome to Fogeltopia
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
This is awkward
Jeff Sullivan - April 7, 2010
Is it?
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
Population: 2?
Faux - April 7, 2010
Is is close to flavor country?
ErictheRed - April 7, 2010
Can we get a DP?
ThundaPC - April 7, 2010
Can you imagine if the playoffs were like this?
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
We're boned aren't we...
Slurvey - April 7, 2010
Why would Geren not know if Kouz can bunt?
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
A's deserve this one. They've made a helluva lot better contact than we have.
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
The A's deserve shit.
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
They say Bayer can save your life during a heart attack
I’m going to Costco tomorrow.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
What are the odds of having Bayer on hand?
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
I watch Mariner games
Therefore the odds are very good.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Wow what a move!
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010
LOWE
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Scared the SHIT out of me Lowe.

Whoa!
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010

lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
NICELY
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
STUPID BUT HUGE

YAY LOWE
beastwarking - April 7, 2010
Lowe!
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
LOWE LOWE LOW

sanford_and_son - April 7, 2010
HOLY FUCK
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Oh sweet mother
Alto - April 7, 2010
Wow, what a risky play
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
MARK FUCKING LOWE
JetersNeverProsper - April 7, 2010
YES LOWE!
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Finally something goes our way!
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Shit that was risky.
Bicycle Rider - April 7, 2010
Mark Lowe is SO baller
JLC - April 7, 2010
Lowe has to be way more careful there...
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Wow.
That was potentially disastrous.
ThundaPC - April 7, 2010
NICE
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Ahahahahaahahahahahahhahahaha
OlSalty - April 7, 2010
Kickass Mark Lowe
He’s my favorite Australian
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
I didn't think he was an Aussie?
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
He looks Australian and that's all that counts
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
If Houston is in Australia
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
*Hawaiian
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Must be third-generation.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Or Texan.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Japanese
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Oh God that could have turned into a very annoying error.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Can we not bring Texeira up this time?
I am going to stop waching if he will be up next
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Why
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Because he will pitch terrible and I might wet my pants again.
As I did last night. I might have to go find a diper…
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Texeira is still tired.
ErictheRed - April 7, 2010
Who is going to pitch in extra innings?
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Ichiro
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
YES
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Buy Lowe, Sell High!
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
I'll keep that in mind
cwel87 - April 7, 2010
Let's not sell him
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
For A Gon?
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
Sage advice.
Bicycle Rider - April 7, 2010
Good play.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
Nervously awating a passed ball.
TheBishop - April 7, 2010
Wow, they have a graph up there that shows horizontal and vertical break
Educate us!
beastwarking - April 7, 2010
STRIKE
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
THAT WAS A STRIKE MOTHERFUCKER
drblacknwhite - April 7, 2010
that was a strike
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010
That's a fucking strike
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
ROBOTS
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Hosed by the umps!
I’ve seen this episode before!
JLC - April 7, 2010
Well fuck that strike zone
Slurvey - April 7, 2010
THROW THE PITHCER A FUCKING BONE UMP
Benne - April 7, 2010
Shit he was on that...
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Is Tim Tschida umpiring again?
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
NO
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
GET UP ADAM GET UP
BrianL - April 7, 2010

oscartehgrouch - April 7, 2010

qrsouther - April 7, 2010
O God
I thought it was Rob…. shit
oscartehgrouch - April 7, 2010
No problem, I would have responded likewise.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
YOU ARE FORGIVEN
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
You're pretty sick.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Sorry
oscartehgrouch - April 7, 2010
Great Moore is dead.
Ender15 - April 7, 2010
OH FUCK
Goose - April 7, 2010
NOT MOORE
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010

lailaihei - April 7, 2010
OH SHIT THE WRONG ONE GOT INJURED
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
Oh shit...
JetersNeverProsper - April 7, 2010
OH FUCK TUI?
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
No
There’s no way we’re the ones who run out of catchers first.
Jeff Sullivan - April 7, 2010
Oh shit no.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Oh God no
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
NONONONONONONONONONONO
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Oh god Moore not Moore please Moore
Alto - April 7, 2010
YOU FUCKING JINXED US
Robert - April 7, 2010
WHAT THE SHIT
WHY ISN’T THAT ROB JOHNSON?!
JLC - April 7, 2010
Damn.
For a second I was gleeful, then I remembered Rob Johnson was removed last inning.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
FUCK FUCK YOU CANNOT BE HURT MOORE
Benne - April 7, 2010
ROB JOHNSON SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THERE
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
We need you Garko
Jeff Sullivan - April 7, 2010
GAME. OVER.
yakvalleycardinal - April 7, 2010
DROP BASEBALL, BASEBALL DROP YOU
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
I am sorry Mr. Adam Moore
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
THIS IS NOT FUCKING HAPPENING
Benne - April 7, 2010
Uhhh... Fuck.
Garko time? Oh.. yeah.
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
SHOULDNT HAVE GOT RID OF GARKO NOW SHOULD YOU?
lailaihei - April 7, 2010
Apparently Tui is our emergency catcher
I thought it was Sweeney.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
Can Sweeney even get into a crouch with his back?
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
I think you need a back to be a catcher.
yuniform - April 7, 2010
ARE YOU JOKING
WHY WASN’T ROB STILL IN
cwel87 - April 7, 2010
Emergency catcher!
Goose - April 7, 2010
This is not good.
rickpo - April 7, 2010
SUZUKI FUCK YOU!
OceanBird - April 7, 2010
Are you fucking kidding me
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
Oh phew that was Adam Moore
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
HAHA
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS CHANGE TAKE PLACE
JLC - April 7, 2010
Langerhans pinch hit
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
JESUS CHRIST NEVER DO THIS AGAIN, WAK
JLC - April 7, 2010
Langerhans pinch hit for Johnson last inning
seattle_since_81 - April 7, 2010
Is Mike Sweeney putting on the vest?
ThundaPC - April 7, 2010
Tui is stretching out.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Can his knees even bend?
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Tui is gonna catch
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
STAND UP
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010
Oh thank god.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
Jason Phillips 30 minute contract!
w00tah - April 7, 2010
Damnit! Why does this have happen to Moore and not Johnson?
russak - April 7, 2010
Come on Adam.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
Byrnes!!!
MFAN - April 7, 2010
I like how Suzuki put his hand on Moore. He's a nice guy.
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
"Tui's getting loose inside the dugout"
Uh
Nick S - April 7, 2010
IT WOULD SURE BE A GOOD THING IF WE HAD RYAN GARKO AROUND
Benne - April 7, 2010
Adam Moore's blond hair looks purple
Jeff Sullivan - April 7, 2010
Super Saiyan Moore
lailaihei - April 7, 2010
He'll be fine.
JetersNeverProsper - April 7, 2010
What happened for those not watching?!?!?
Scrupio - April 7, 2010
Moore dropped
We don’t have another catcher, it was gonna be Tui. Moore’s good now
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
Moore got hurt briefly. He's still in though.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Foul ball caught Moore in the wrong place.
seattle_since_81 - April 7, 2010
Ah shit balls, when and why did the pull Johnson? Missed that part
Kermit. - April 7, 2010
Langerhans pinch hit for Johnson
ChristopherA - April 7, 2010
PH for him with Langerhans.
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
Thanks! Never would have thought of that one.
Kermit. - April 7, 2010
PHEW
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
I wanna see Eric Byrnes catch...
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
a bullet in the chest.
Goose - April 7, 2010
Anyone else, wouldn't have rec'd
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Rob's looking awfully smug there in the dugout for a bubblehead.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
I agree
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
bubblehead?
Dewey N - April 7, 2010
And the legend of Kurt Suzuki grows.
tintin - April 7, 2010
Rob Johnson somehow caused that to happen.
Fuck you, Rob Johnson.
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
That's some testicular fortitude
oscartehgrouch - April 7, 2010
Moore is even more attractive than Johnson, too.
russak - April 7, 2010
Johnson looks like a fucking tool
KarateManChan37 - April 7, 2010
Looks like?
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
Well, in his defense...
tools are objects used to accomplish a task. Johnson can’t really accomplish anything. So, yeah, looks like.
harkening - April 7, 2010
We're never pinch hitting for Rob Johnson again.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Longest at-bat ever
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
Sextras please.
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
Swung at ball four
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
I hate base ball
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
Change up!
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
What a battle.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
seattlecougar - April 7, 2010
FUCK FUCK FUCK
Mikky - April 7, 2010
I'm gonna throw up.

Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
I fucking hate Kurt Suzuki.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Moore totally got hit in the nads.
Back in the day, cups were made of steel so whenever you got hit there everyone in the stadium could hear it. I yearn for those days.

Now that was a doily!

Shut up
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
DEAD!
Slurvey - April 7, 2010
No
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
Sure was!
OlSalty - April 7, 2010
I'm beginning to think that things are made up just to see if people run with them...
Faux - April 7, 2010
Every pitch needs to go to Kurt Suzuki's nuts.
Even when he isn’t hitting.
tintin - April 7, 2010
We're gonna be like 2-5 by Monday with Anderson tomorrow and then Texas
Rudy4three - April 7, 2010
It was right in his fucking glove. That was SO fucking catchable. I'm sick.
Ender15 - April 7, 2010
Mariners!
Nick S - April 7, 2010
And the crowd of 235 goes wild.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
At least our Suzuki is cooler than yours.
He makes all-star teams, biotch.
jullberg - April 7, 2010
I'm too stunned to actually get angry and use caps.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Stop blaming Bradley peeps
Maybe he could have caught it but we should have HIT THAT DAMN BALL tonight.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Where in my post did I blame Bradley?
It was the most inexplicable walk-off moment I’ve seen in years, and it wasn’t because of Bradley.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Whoops wrong reply button. Gah.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
No worries.
We’re all pissed, and people do dumb things when pissed.
Benne - April 7, 2010
5 runs is a pretty impressive showing for this team.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
Would have been a really nice win, this one.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
I FUCKING HATE THE A'S
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Lights?
oscartehgrouch - April 7, 2010
Nice hit and run execution.
If A’s can do it, why can’t M’s do it???
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
I'd rather just not see the M's run the hit and run, like, ever.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Well, I am saying when Rob Johnson isn't batting.
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
I'd settle for just the hit part.
Rich Langford - April 7, 2010
That wasn't a hit and run.
Teej - April 7, 2010
Wasn't it?
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
He had to have been going on contact. He rounded third when Bradley threw the ball in.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Then it's run and hit?
I am confused.
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
The run and hit is basically when you jump on the windup.
As though you’re going on a steal. Earl Weaver preferred those to the hit and run.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
He stopped at second and waited
Then he bolted.
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
I feel like he must have been going before the ball fell. The ball was not on the ground for very long.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
Actually, it might have been.
A’s announcer hinted that he was running on the pitch.
Teej - April 7, 2010
I seriously just want to throw up.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
God this team sucks.
Goose - April 7, 2010
HOW THE FUCK DID YOU NOT CATCH THAT BALL?!?!?!?
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
It's Milton Bradley.
He’s not Guti, you know.
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
He was pinned right up against the wall
BrianL - April 7, 2010
I thought you were talking about Rob still.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
F'n A's
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
Late.
Fin - April 7, 2010
Yeah you were.
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
I'm outta here. Fuck this.
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
Alright talk to you later bro
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Our whole season just flashed before my eyes!
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
F the A's!
Fin - April 7, 2010
FnA's?
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
NOT SUSTAINABLE!
ThundaPC - April 7, 2010
Ugh.
That was just a weird game. I don’t really know if the M’s can say they deserved it, but Oakland looked kind of crappy too.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
GOTTA catch that.
seattlesundevil - April 7, 2010
Where are the Sonics?
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
I hate you
lemonverbena - April 7, 2010
Totally not fuckin' cool.
Matt Erickson - April 7, 2010
FUCK
w00tah - April 7, 2010

JetersNeverProsper - April 7, 2010
And tomorrow it's Fister vs. Anderson
Good luck Fisty
Scrupio - April 7, 2010
Ah fuck
lailaihei - April 7, 2010
Well that's just adding insult to injury.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010

Punkhazard - April 7, 2010
GOD
Aaron Campeau - April 7, 2010
The sky is falling after 3 games! On the road!
Oh noes!
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Ugh.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Good luck with that.
I think they have about 13 players on the team.
MFAN - April 7, 2010
I too hope this is true
Robert - April 7, 2010
Kurt Suzuki
was a major pain in the ass for the Rainiers, so why am I not surprised hes still a major pain in the ass for our major league team?
By the way…the umps were terrible in this game. And unlike the others, it was completely one sided this time.
Oh well, we will kick their asses tomorrow for the split.
Slica - April 7, 2010
Season over.
Go SOUNDERS!
d0nkey - April 7, 2010
Go Sounders!!
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
SEATTTTTLLE
SOUNNDERS!
kentroyals5 - April 7, 2010
The Sounders lost at home to a team that hadn't won on the road in 23 games and won zero matches last year.
Aaron Campeau - April 7, 2010
BAHAH, you got me.
I really don’t give a shit. Thanks though!

Um...Storm?
yakvalleycardinal - April 7, 2010
That's not a sport
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
Thunderbirds?
yakvalleycardinal - April 7, 2010
YES
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
GOD
Robert - April 7, 2010
Jesus fuck people it's three games.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Have you not been hit by any of the stars? Cause the sky is falling.
kentroyals5 - April 7, 2010
A star just ripped off half my face damn it.
Its all Kurt Suzuki’s fault. And Mark Ellis’s.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
And Rob Johnson.
Can’t forget him.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Eric Byrnes must somehow be blamed as well.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
I can give you that.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Doesn't make losing a game any less frustrating.
Wilder. - April 7, 2010
In similar fashion in two of the first three games. That's all.
qrsouther - April 7, 2010
But it's best of 7 isn't it?
Hopefulmsfan - April 7, 2010
Isn't this yesterday's thread?
Shit.
melenious - April 7, 2010
Put the gun down.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
Oh well,
Time to go read Dave Cameron’s recap.
ThundaPC - April 7, 2010
Holy crap, it's up.
MFAN - April 7, 2010
Where have alll the Chicken Little's gone?
Here that’s where
Scrupio - April 7, 2010
3 games in and I'm already emotionally exhausted.
This season is going to be hell.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Me too.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
The good news, I think we'll get used to it.
Opponents won’t though, and it’ll be part of the massively annoying nature of this club.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
But we're having a hard time with the A's. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAs. Jesus Christ we're doomed
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
Weren't the A's projected by BP to win, like 3 or 4 fewer games than the Mariners?
And this was on the road. I know the Mausoleum is a craphole that no fan goes to but IIRC home field advantage has more to do with just playing in another, unfamiliar city than it is about decibel levels.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Another hat for Dave.
Kevin Casey - April 7, 2010
2 ONE RUN LOSSES WE ARE DOOMED!!!!
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Hopefully RRS blogs about this soon.
Fin - April 7, 2010
He will be on the twitter cussing out how horrible the game was.
and how boring the game was
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
His twitter is very entertaining to read.
Will be even more in the morning.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Debating whether to throw something across the room.
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Do it. I just did it
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
This is why my hair is graying.
Slurvey - April 7, 2010
We may be the new Angels, but the A's will always be the A's
The team, their fans, their players, they can all jump off the Bay Bridge for all I care. Not like they’d drown, what with being fucking wizards and shit. Hogwarts America over there.
OceanBird - April 7, 2010
Maybe their shitty stadium can go with them.
Fin - April 7, 2010
FUCK
DOUBLE FUCK
killer_ewok18 - April 7, 2010
This ain't good
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
It's not ideal
but it’s only three games in to the season.
Eyeball Kid - April 7, 2010
I will be pissed if we miss playoff by one game behind from Texas/LA
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
I will be even more pissed if we lose it one game behind Oakland
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Eh, we'll be shoving it up theirs soon enough
Lee and Bedard will be making Suzuki cry for his mommy. I’m trying to not freak out too much because we could easily be 3-0 right now, you can’t win EVERY game and we’re only three in, and the A’s always do this shit.
OceanBird - April 7, 2010
I was thinking of a "I am more concerned with X" statement but with 3 games in, even then I can't make it.
Rob Johnson is crap but we knew that coming in. Jack Wilson looks really bad with the stick. What’s new? Milton Bradley got a jack, which is nice, but may be pressing, which isn’t… but again, 3 games.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
We probably held off a Bradley explosion by at least a week.
Which makes this all the worse.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Hmm
You know, on second thought…
Last year the teams that started off great were Mariners and Blue Jays. Didn’t really mean much did it?
Allen Wu - April 7, 2010
Might've kept the Jays from trading Halladay until after the season.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
And the Marlins' 11-1
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Well there is nothing wrong with starting off great, but it's a long season and we still have 159 games to go.
MFAN - April 7, 2010
Ok now that I'm somewhat calm...
Damn that was depressing the A’s are freaking annoying. Let’s split this motherfucking series FIST ’EM!
Slurvey - April 7, 2010
THIS IS ALL ROB JOHNSON'S FAULT
killer_ewok18 - April 7, 2010
Suzuki's laughing at us!
ErictheRed - April 7, 2010
He's Japanese not Hawaiian
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Pretty sure he grew up in Hawaii.
the other side - April 7, 2010
With Texeira?
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Yep I think he even knew Texeira somehow.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Suzuki coached Texeiras little league team
seattlesundevil - April 8, 2010
He's of Japanese ancestry, born and raised in Hawaii.
Teej - April 7, 2010
It's actually kind of surprising that there aren't more Japanese-Hawaiians in pro sports.
That’s a very significant ethnic group in that state. I guess WRT baseball it may have to do with Hawaii not being California, Texas, or Florida, but still… it’s actually pretty common.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Hey guys I wasn't serious
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Now you tell me.
the other side - April 7, 2010
It seemed like we hit the ball hard a bunch today but nothing was dropping.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Dave Cameron makes a great point about the 6-man bullpen.
This is the worst time possible to be using it with Lee on the DL.
But then again, with Hannahan out, it’s “damned if you, damned if you don’t.” It’d be nice to have fresh arms for the back-half of the rotation, but one nick to Adam Moore, or a pulled hammy from Jack Wilson and suddenly you’re fucked.
I really hope those two guys come back quickly so we don’t have to deal with this awkward situations for too long.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Sweeney is going to get cut or put on the DL before long.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Or minors?
I think M’s signed him for a minor league contract
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
I thought they agreed to let him go if he wasn't on the team.
the other side - April 7, 2010
I have no clue.
I am not sure
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
Once you're on the major league roster, by definition you have a major league contract.
Sweeney was a NRI, meaning he didn’t get signed to anything before he made the team.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
I hope you're right.
One old past-his-prime DH on the roster is one too many. God knows we can’t afford to carry two of them this time of year.
Benne - April 7, 2010
In my opinion this would've worked better if Sweeney was left-handed.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Then he really is just the white Griffey.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
Except for the whole first ballot hall of fame thing.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Meaning the M's would be able to use him as a PH vs. righties off the bench in games Griffey is DHing, or as the #2 LH PH in games where a lefty is starting.
I like the idea of using Milton at DH vs. LHPs but that means that Sweeney’s spot is superfluous right now.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
That's what Langerhans is here for.
BrianL - April 7, 2010
The perception, anyway, is that Langerhans is more of a defensive guy.
I do like having 5 OFers.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
I think this means you're calling Bradley a capable outfielder.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Uh, Bradley is a more than capable outfielder.
Last play of the game aside. The reason all the stat guys want him to DH is because he’s so freaking injury prone. The M’s are almost guaranteeing themselves Bradley will miss 30-40 games by playing him in LF 2/3rds of the time.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Ya, I think I'm just generally angry right now and his throws are annoying me.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Isn't that Langerhans' job?
I’d love to keep Sweeney around as a coach, but he has no purpose being on the actual roster.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Eh, sorry to reference Earl Weaver twice in 20 minutes..
…but it’s always the case that a 4 man pen is too many guys when you’re doing well and 6 men isn’t enough. I get that it sucks to have to go deep into the ‘pen when your starters seem physically incapable of throwing more than 5 innings, but it’s not the end of the world. I really don’t see how a smaller pen really lost this game.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
Mostly I wish Brandon League will get his shit together, and fast.
He did not impress me at all tonight.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Yeah, isn't he supposed to throw around 7 mph faster than he was tonight?
I could have sworn he can get it up into the high 90s.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
The real problem is he's refusing to throw his splitter for some reason...
The pitch that was the biggest reason behind his good ’09 year.
Benne - April 7, 2010
Rob "4 seamer" Johnson was catching tonight.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
"Catching" is a bit generous.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Of course, you'd be sending down Langerhans, not Tui or Johnson.
Personally, I like having 5 OFers because it means the team can use one of them to PH or run and still have an adequate backup for the inevitable Bradley injury. Plus, Bradley himself can get removed in a blowout without leaving the team without a backup out there.
Johnny Slick - April 7, 2010
On the bright side.
Both the Angels and Rangers lost.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Doesn't that mean the A's lead the division?
They are just too good.
magistermilitum - April 7, 2010
Oakland is in first
Brian Floyd - April 7, 2010
Oh God. Baseball Prospectus is RIGHT!
E-Lizz - April 7, 2010
Well shit that ruins it.
the other side - April 7, 2010
Know who else hit a walk off hit tonight?
Ronny Cedeno.
Allllllright.
sanford_and_son - April 7, 2010
Cedeno is a beast
Ef the yankees - April 7, 2010
YES
Aaron Campeau - April 7, 2010
Why the hell did we trade him.
the other side - April 7, 2010
He's hitting 1.436 since we traded him with 193 home runs
Griffin Cooper - April 7, 2010
Ha!
sanford_and_son - April 7, 2010
Thats not updated as of tonight.
the other side - April 7, 2010
NL.
MFAN - April 7, 2010
I was 4 exclamation points off with RR-S.
Mariner John - April 7, 2010
Wow.
