Somebody said that Sean White isn't terrible.

Who the fuck was that guy?

Don Wakamatsu.

He has real numbers, too.

Wait, aren't there numbers above? What numbers is Wak looking at?
Real numbers that only MLB folk can see.
Ah, right. Thanks.
I hate all life.
Kotchman! Figgins! Kelley!

Numbness :(

What a painful loss.

Give it to me if you're not gonna do it!
Not enough damn pills.
If Schick Shadel really wants to help me stop drinking they should make the Mariners better at baseball
Schick Shadel is for profit.

They need the Mariners to suck for their client base to remain.

Maybe they are behind all of this

Its rigged!

The good news

is that Baltimore won today! The bad news is Houston lost.

Shit.

I was waiting for another couple losses to start this…..

Sorry
It was inevitable. Not your fault.
Lets not fuck this up like we did with Strasburg.
We're not going to be bad enough to get Rendon
We can't do anything right.
Hehehe, you are absolutely correct!

We have bad but we won’t be quite terrible enough.

Are, have what the fuck ever.

Apathy is here.

Why do you have to kill the only hope I have left for this season?
Oh please, not another season like this.

I can’t handle it if we must start thinking like this before Memorial Day.

Ah, the opening bars of the M*A*S*H theme
Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice

Pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Suicide is painless...
The team might actually be worse than the FSN commentary

Coors Light Freeze Cam!

Having not seen the end, what did Tui do?

Or am I just dumb?

Tui has no business in a MLB uniform.
The Tuiasosopo family has no business in sports, period.

Fucking suck at everything they do.

I wouldn't go that far as I remember a Tuiasosopo leading the Huskies to something, but

this particular one has no more value than WFB. Yeah, he might be a fan favorite, but keep him off the field.

Dove and missed a ball up the middle he couldn't get to.
Groundball towards the SS side of second

Tui got a really late jump, missed the ball, winning run comes in.

Fantastic.
And it was with two outs, so a passable shortstop ends the inning.
Especially if RJ hadn't let a ball skip by him

advancing the runner to 3rd… Before I started coming here, I kinda liked Rob – in a charming/fan sorta way. Now I have been shown the incredible error of my ways!

Shouldn't Walkamatic have intentionally walked Suzuki to set up the force play at any base?

It’s not as if Suzuki mattered as a runner anyway.

Exactly, but who knows what's going on with Wak.

They say a manager has very little influence in a game, but there seems to be quite a bit of evidence to the contrary. There are plenty of wrong calls that have lost close games this year. I wish the sabercats would re-check this. Re-check the line-ups, the calls to the bullpen, the running game…

Do you trust League to not walk in the winning run?
Why was League even out there to pitch that inning?
Pen was down to Colome and Aardsma.
Uhh, did I miss something with Tex?

(I didn’t see anything before the 8th inning)

He allowed a broken bat single, beaned a guy, and promptly got yanked
So guys like Tex and League get a short leash if they start a little slow

but White’s OK to flail. Hrm.

Hey man, it's not his fault he came in with two base runners on!

He did the best he could, that’s what you gotta admire about him. It’s one of those outings where you just have to look at whoever was the one who put those guys on. We have to believe in Sean White, he had a great ERA last year in a lot of tough situations. We can’t go pointing the finger at him now, not in a situation like that. Gotta stick together and just play this slump out.

Its not about White as much as it is about when White's being used!

It doesn’t take statistics to understand that you want ground balls when there are runners on base. Other pitchers on this roster are better at inducing ground balls and weak contact. Its as simple as that.

Sorry, forgot to close my snark tags
Nah, I was just blinded by rage. I don't deal with frustration well

that and i’m still new around here – not sure yet who’s who.

Hold the phone. It's an old expression, but I'm old.

It can’t be over before Memorial Day. Even the Mariners of old weren’t out of it by then (OK, some of them were). GMZ can still fix this, but he doesn’t have much time left. We are still in a very weak division. Temperatures in Texas are not yet that high. Griffey, Sweeney, Tui, RJ, and those two goofy pitcher whose name I have forgotten have got to be replaced by whoever is a decent, but versatile replacement player. Dave Cameron, Jeff and Matthew probably know who those good replacement players are. MB and the good Wilson have to come back and we could still win the division. But changes must be made very soon. If they aren’t, we’re gonna suck until the end of the season.
