Powell: So I couldn't sleep last night. Had the worst dream.
Wakamatsu: Yeah?

Wakamatsu: haha
Tuiasosopo: A river!

Thank you
Sec 108 - May 13, 2010
I am so grateful for this site...
If I wasn’t laughing about this and the Morgan Meme, I would be crying. Thanks for keeping it light…ish.
Sass - May 13, 2010
Funny stuff.
SeaKoala - May 13, 2010
This is the best description of the Seattle Mariners and their woes I have read all season.
katal - May 13, 2010
No better way to start the day
Than a giant Fuck You loss from the Seattle Mariners
wetzelcoal - May 13, 2010
I feel like this signifies a turning point in the Mariners' season.
I don;t think they can hurt me any more. Not this year.
Bearskin Rugburn - May 13, 2010
Yeah I feel the same way.
I am begging to slip in a dangerous state of blissful numbness. I am just apathetic.
Mariner Melee - May 13, 2010
Coming soon: Game Thread Empathy

I would have liked to hear Dave do his famous grand slam call today.
Because even though it was Luke Scott and he in on the other team…it might be the only time I get to hear it this year. Thank Rizz for taking up valuable radio space on the Lopez Grand Slam.
Mariner Melee - May 13, 2010
Why do they have to score runs?
If they would just stick to the whole “no offense” thing, I could totally stop paying attention and be a happier man… This “scoring runs” deal they try every once in a while is damned inconvenient, as it makes me want to keep rooting for them. As a side note: PANCAKES! (Mariners collapse – Carb-induced blood-sugar crash?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o-u4IwXkbE&feature=fvsr

Please use the link button.
melenious - May 13, 2010
Oops, sorry! First real post here
I’ll learn the ropes fast, I promise…
NWade - May 13, 2010
No worries.
Welcome to LL.
melenious - May 13, 2010
The worst day I've had as a Mariner fan.
esoteric - May 13, 2010
wow you've led a pretty charmed life
pdb - May 13, 2010
He is one year old.
Eyebrows - May 13, 2010 via mobile
You mean this year right?
Please tell me you mean this year,
Mariner Melee - May 13, 2010
Of course I meant this year. And of course I left it out by accident.
Although it’s been a crappy day all-around, that’s for sure.
esoteric - May 13, 2010
At least no one got injured.
EnglishMariner - May 13, 2010
Well actually on reflection there are several players I would like to see maimed on this team.
EnglishMariner - May 13, 2010
No _player_ got injured...
…I wouldn’t be surprised if a few fans gouged out their eyes.
NWade - May 13, 2010
Is anyone actually emotionally invested in this team any more?
I quit over a week ago.
EnglishMariner - May 13, 2010
My emotional investment counselor told me to move my liquid emotional assets
to a safer low rate of return.
Sec 108 - May 13, 2010
I'm invested, just not in wins, losses, and position in the standings anymore.
Mariner Melee - May 13, 2010
NOW my Daughter is watching the Cubs!!!!
Someone tell me this is all a bad dream . . .
I will wake up . . .
and we will be in contention . . .
for something other than the first draft pick.
quidveritas - May 13, 2010
We aren't even in contention for that
Cantu Easley Winn - May 13, 2010
What a silly dream our hitting coach had
This is great
tootthekazoo - May 13, 2010
and then when he woke up his pillow was missing!
pdb - May 13, 2010
Is that... is that a Mary Poppins reference?
Terminator X - May 13, 2010
I think the marshmellow pillow joke predates Mary Poppins.
JAH - May 13, 2010
Well, we lost, but
DINGERS!!
Cantu Easley Winn - May 13, 2010
We get Dingers, they get Salami
As it turned out, I think the O’s were OK with getting the lunchmeat…
NWade - May 13, 2010
Even thought we watched I thoroughly enjoyed watching Saunders today.
Mariner Melee - May 13, 2010
Yikes.
Terminator X - May 13, 2010
Did Langerhans ever get his coffee?
seattlecougar - May 13, 2010
1 for 4 (2B) with 2SO.... Not *enough* coffee!
Saunders and Ichiro, however, got Espresso.
NWade - May 13, 2010
Sweeney's Dinger...
…was the most depressing part of the day for me. The way Wak is hanging on to under-producing players, I fully expect to see Sweeney back in 2011 as a reward for that solo shot! sigh
NWade - May 13, 2010
Pancakes are just waffles that didn't do anything with their lives
Cantu Easley Winn - May 13, 2010
I'm going to put this on my business cards
pdb - May 13, 2010
This is strangely profound
Torrid - May 13, 2010
I couldn't get through this without you, Jeff
royalcurve - May 13, 2010
I imagine about half the players hitting themselves in the chest with a limp wrist saying "Durr..." and using inappropriate pronouns.
CapSea - May 13, 2010
Best game recap I've ever seen. Hands down.
JamMasterJesus - May 13, 2010
The dialogue is perfect, but I'm imagining that they're oblivious to some larger tragedy taking place.
I’m envisioning the players carrying on with this cheery, vacuous conversation oblivious to the hotel/restaurant structure burning down and collapsing around them.
Chris Hafner - May 13, 2010
Me, too.
But I was picturing it as they ended up not realizing that there was a game going on and Jeff was really trying to tell them that they needed to get to the field, but then realized it wouldn’t make much of a difference, so he just decided to yell “YOU SUCK” instead.
GhettoBear04 - May 13, 2010
I interpretted it as the Mariners invading Jeff's breakfast and ignoring him while eating his food.
Terminator X - May 13, 2010
This has the unusual effect of making me both hungry and sad
Nick S - May 13, 2010
Now you know how fat people feel
LonelyintheBleachers - May 13, 2010
Except for the ones who are sated and happy.
Sec 108 - May 13, 2010
Fat people are never sated
Cantu Easley Winn - May 13, 2010
Food's on the table and Griffey isn't there. Something's amiss.
Maybe he’s napping?
