Hey remember the speculation that we hoped moving Lopez to 3B would increase his trade value because he might show he’s able to play multiple positions?
for saying this to my frie— Oh. I get it. You’re making fun of the fact that his parents don’t have a base—- wait — I’m still going to gut you like a goddamned fish, you GIF WIELDING BASTARD.
In complete seriousness, where is the line between inane and not inane? It seems like a lot of inane happens on these threads. Though I do remember your post about cutting down on the comments in the game threads, and that would definitely include comments like mine.
I get unceremoniously fired, have to drop out of school because I can't afford it, and end up panhandling on the streets exchanging proofreading for half-eaten McDonald's hamburgers.
This is a simple question but I'm not sure which way is right
In a low scoring environment is batting at the end of the 9th more of an advantage or less of an advantage compared to the current run scoring environment.
I don’t like it when it goes around 10 times or when I miss important events and people need to give up when they try to start it 18 times but there is something about the wave that makes me smile.
Seems to be what Rob Johnson's going for lately.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
The offense is bad but they've had some incredibly terrible luck these past few games as well
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Very true.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
And also some hilarious luck. Lopez's double, Griffey's single to short, etc.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
One could argue its bad karma rather than bad luck
In which case the Ms ARE to blame!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Working on a post for that right now!
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I have a love-hate relationship with that theory.
Let’s practice with Sweeney as a small sample.
1L - May 2, 2010
Let's just hope his bad back allows him to never swing a bat again. Ever.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
He injures himself swinging so I don't like it
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Maybe Doug Fister can win the Cy Young award this year
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Seriously what the fuck is going on
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
STEEERRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
ReJoyce in weird strike zones!
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Well that's a ball.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
But suWHEET
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Don't think so
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
But the chaser agreed with him.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
That was a strike.
That fastball has movement. I don’t care what anyone says
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
Lopez would certainly be more productive
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
And again!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
It didn't work out very well for Murphey.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
No e
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
2-seam for the win?
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
David Murphy looks like the guy who plays Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Alan Ruck
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
They already decided that he is the Gold Glove winner.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
I mean why not
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson is calling a heckuva game
Schuxu - May 2, 2010
Fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
"A flybal... for the gold glover... or soon to be later this year."
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
HOW THE FUCK DOES HE KEEP DOING THIS?
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson
Graham MacAree - May 2, 2010
First glance I thought this was Fogel
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Intense visualization.
themanleyman - May 2, 2010
Do not question this; follow Doug Fister blindly.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Clubhouse
chemistry!
GermanMariner - May 2, 2010
He does this, and Strasburg gets pummeled today in AA
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Looks like the Rangers are trying to follow Matthew's strategy.
And failing against Fister.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
Tougher against a strike throwing machine
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
The thing is, the guy is throwing ~80% fastballs. You would think they would know what to swing at.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
Drayer's poll question for today: Which is more likely to happen?
A. Guti batting title, B. Fister Cy Young, C. Lopez Gold Glove.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
A
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Bias!
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
But only because there's no way Lopez gets that kind of recognition this year even if he is great all year
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Why?
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
That's not how Gold Gloves work
See: Gutierrez 2009
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Because the people voting for Gold Gloves are dumb
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
This is the only acceptable answer.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
I think Guti's 2009 season is a pretty good example of why
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Because he has a reputation as a kind of poor fielder, he doesn't do anything flashy out there
and he’s against some legitimately great 3B in the AL.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
I'd be pretty shocked if it didn't go to Beltre or Longoria
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Which is fine because they are good, unlike Adam Jones last year or Torii Hunter
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Beltre will cost himself the GG with his early errors.
Writers will care.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Aren't the Gold Gloves based off of manager votes?
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
BBWA
abender20 - May 2, 2010
No it's managers I'm pretty sure
I could be wrong though
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
You are correct, it is managers.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
You're right.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
And they're even dumber at things like that than the writers are
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Trey Hillman would rather have Chris Getz and Mike Aviles than Alex Gordon, and he likes Yuni.
He isn’t qualified to vote on flavors at Baskin Robbins
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Longoria has the bat and the glove
Right now, Beltre’s just got the glove
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
He's not much of a hitter
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
He doesn't hit well enough, and Fister probably won't strike out enough guys
Even if by some miracle he maintains. A sub-2 ERA might get him noticed though.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
A sub-2 ERA is never ever going to happen
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
That would be the miracle.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Hate to mention this in a game where he's pitching
But he’s posting a, uhh, 0% HR/FB ratio right now.
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
It's a miracle!
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Ichiro!
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
It's Angels In The Outfield
Mariners style.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Without a shadow of a doubt C
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
C
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
C; at least his looks sustainable.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
He won't hit well enough to get it.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
He has a nice hollow average and power numbers.
He also has Evan Longoria to contend with.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Probably not, but still most likely
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Shockingly, C
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
At least they are all very unlikely to happen.
I would think C though.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Enjoy it while it lasts
See Zach Duke c. 2005
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Did you look at PitchFx?
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
Well at least we have the most feared 7-8-9 in the league coming up...
themanleyman - May 2, 2010
That .100 line been breeched yet?
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Now it has
themanleyman - May 2, 2010
I said it would at the start of the game.
And there it is!
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
I wish we still have Ronny Cedeno.
svart aske - May 2, 2010
Did Sims just call Jack Wilson CJ Wilson?
Alto - May 2, 2010
He was probably referring to CJ Wilson.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Yes.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Our only run so far has been a doiley as well.
If it stays 1-0, the Rangers will have a taste of how we felt on Friday and Saturday only worse.
EnglishMariner - May 2, 2010
Saturday, maybe
There’s no way they’d feel worse than we did on friday.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
I wish he dropped it and threw out Byrnes at 2nd
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
FUCK YOU ERIC BYRNES
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Okay, now I'm sick of Eric Byrnes.
JLC - May 2, 2010
I've been sick of him since we signed him.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
I got some early entertainment value out of him, but he seems legitimately awful and I don't want him to get a lot more ABs if we start DHing Bradley.
JLC - May 2, 2010
I wasn't and actually liked the signing at first.
Now, not so much. I miss Langerhans.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Fister is currently 1st in the AL in ERA
spencer peaty - May 2, 2010
Sell high!
stredarts - May 2, 2010
Well even though Fister obviously isn't this good
He’s 26 and doesn’t even hit arbitration for a few years. Kickass.
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
He can't keep this up
but it certainly gives me hope that he can be a decent back of the rotation guy for a few years.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
(coughWashburnandSilvasigningscough)
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson looks genuinely disappointed when he's forced to swing.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
.341 wOBA!
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
I get the same look when he swings to
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I now hate Byrnes way more than Rob. It's miraculous.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
It's strange not being able to hate on Rob.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
I still dislike him strongly. He's just not the Ace of Spades.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
That's because he has come to the realization he blows at hitting the ball
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Ahaha Michael Young does it again
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Defense!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Good throw Mike!
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
HOLY SHIT HE SLID INTO FIRST!
JACK WILSON LISTENS TO THE LL PODCAST
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Did you discuss that being the one play where you ever do that?
abender20 - May 2, 2010
YES!
Matthew - May 2, 2010
BOOOM
abender20 - May 2, 2010
You guys are witches
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Please
Warlocks
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Seriously Jeff finds 5 dollars with Sweeney's name out on it then he just magically gets hurt, now this?
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
A duck!
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
Michael Young.
Alto - May 2, 2010
Michael Young!
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
One of the few times sliding into first is reasonably legit!
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Wheeeeee!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Offense...so boring.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Ichiro crappin' it up at the plate today.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Is he?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
"Won't see that often, Michael Young is about as solid as they get."
Career -12.6 UZR/150 at 3B
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Mike Blowers "you don't usually see that from Michael Young"
For god sakes Mike
Matthew - May 2, 2010
We saw it like three times yesterday
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
No, Blowers is right. Usually he throws it past the first baseman.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Hey
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Why does everyone always skip over Michael Young when talking about the worst contracts in baseball?
Almost 4 years left on his contract and by 2013 he probably won’t even be able to play a defensive position.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Everyone doesn't
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
He's white.
w00tah - May 2, 2010
Plus, he can be there DH.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson has the second highest wOBA on the team.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
We are terrible, yes.
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
sigh.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
That is both an indictment of the team and a testament to Rob Johnson
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Why the hell does he continue to be borderline mediocre.
WE WANT ADAM
the other side - May 2, 2010
Not is Rob Johnson has a .341 wOBA we don't.
That’s not borderline mediocre, especially not for a catcher.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Or for this fucking team offense
He might as well be the catalyst
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
He should be leading off!
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Just a piece of the bigger picture.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
If they fixed him I'm still going to hate him out of habit.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
And who will blame you?
abender20 - May 2, 2010
There's always that one guy.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Plus Bynres.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Whatever.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Grrrr.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
I'm right here, you know.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
That's why I keep looking over my shoulder
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Your hair smells like strawberries.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
This seems unlikely.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
He should have said my hat, more believable.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
There ain't much, but you do have hair.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
At least you know you don't have to stab him.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
There's always tomorrow!
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
He's still a liability behind the plate.
the other side - May 2, 2010
The first line I have no idea.
The second line makes sense.
the other side - May 2, 2010
We get it, you really like Rob Johnson
JLC - May 2, 2010
No I don't.
But people should realize that he hasn’t been a problem at all this year.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Well not at the plate at all.
I know there aren’t any defensive metrics for catchers but he looks legitimately terrible behind the plate.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
I don't think catcher defense matters all that much.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
.
It’s not much, but…
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
He's making me hate him less and that bothers me
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
I'm with you.
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
I was joking, but you probably knew that.
I also agree that he hasn’t been a problem offensively.
JLC - May 2, 2010
He's swinging at less pitches and walking an abnormal amount, his BB% can't last and he's K-ing way too much.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
If he hit like this all the time, I might almost put up with his defense
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Or if he walked like this all the time, I should say
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Did Rob just get nailed!!!!!!!!!!!!
the other side - May 2, 2010
Fisted, perhaps?
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
I actually get disappointed when Jack Wilson gets on base with two outs...
Because it breaks up the top of the order for the next inning.
Jeremariner - May 2, 2010
Some people need to learn when to take a strikeout looking.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Ouch Rob.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Jim Joyce never learned how to bend at the knees
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
I don't think I would be able to resist killing Jim Joyce if I were a player
I wonder if he gets a higher swing% than other umpires?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I'm so glad Garko isn't the Ranger with the hit
Graham MacAree - May 2, 2010
Throws to the chest!
Goose - May 2, 2010
Jose Lopez has a hell of an arm.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
So how many people are still pissed that we dumped Ryan Garko?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I'd still rather have him than Sweeney.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
It depends on how closely related his dumping was to Sweeney being on the team
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
I like his splits against LH bats
But I don’t know much
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
Eric Byrnes has good splits against LH bats too
Doesn’t stop people from hating him
Matthew - May 2, 2010
LH Pitchers*
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
At least he can fake a defensive position.
We would never have started Tuiasosopo at first base if Garko was an M instead of Sweeney.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Just be careful with this Smoak guy. Been hitting you hard all day.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Well
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Ok that had some crazy movement.
Goose - May 2, 2010
Aww
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Damit Smoak
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Smoak is going to be a problem for a long time.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
MLB.com headline writers are all sporting wood.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Unlike the writers for LosAngelesAngels.com
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Name puns are generally verboten where I work, but they're so much fun.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
I know people that take care of problems
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Why the fuck are Sweeney and Griffey still upright then
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
I need to receive 50% up front
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I'll give you 50% of their home runs.
Or 50% of their extra-base hits, rounded down.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
$50,000 up front, $50,000 upon completion
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Will you solve my kitchen remodellig problem?
rickpo - May 2, 2010
Yes
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Are we speaking hypotheticly
Or should I get my checkbook
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
Hypothetically you should get your checkbook
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
What happens if my check bounces?
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Bad things!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Oh nevermind.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Come on... I can find decent hitmen for a rack of Bud Light. Seriously.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Liar
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Besides decent is a bad standard to hold ones self to
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
My sister used to work at a jail on an Indian reservation.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
She probably deserved it
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
You know, my life sucks. Both of my sisters can handily kick my ass.
And no, she didn’t deserve it. And the job paid really well.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
This sounds like a potential Fanpost topic!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
It's not my fault, dammit.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Dayton Moore
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Man, it would be nice to have Smoak.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
By far and away my favorite draft prspect at the time.
kevin_ess - May 2, 2010
Andrus, Feliz and Holland would be nice too.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Ok this at bat has me all kinds of nervous,
Goose - May 2, 2010
Oh snap.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Will Wak let Fister throw 120 pitches?
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
If he gets to 120 pitches
then he’s given up runs.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
He's already at 100.
One more inning
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
I'm aware of that.
If he throws 20 pitches in an inning, chances are good that runs have scored or are scoring.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Scared.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Vlad Guerrero - perennial Mariner killer.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
BABIP noooooooooooooooooo
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Jesus christ.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Oh god.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
It's ok everyone, Borbon is up.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Yikes.
Vlad.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Oh god
Alto - May 2, 2010
We should have signed Vlad solely to protect our pitchers
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
Well, at least Vlad didn't homer right?
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Dive for that shit Figgins!
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
I know it was a bullet :(
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
COME ON DOUG!
Goose - May 2, 2010
Normal service is about to resume.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Anyone warming up in the pen?
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Lowe.
James F'n X - May 2, 2010
So it it going to be a two run double or a three run home run?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Neither
Suck it Fett.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Fett42 declines
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Oh.
:(
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Please.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Isn't Robert free right now?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
No I don't think he is home.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Well let me know if he doesn't return tonight
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Will do.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Somehow throwing almost exclusively fastballs to the Rangers
worked for Fister until now.
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
So, did Texas lose the DH?
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
No.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
8 IP!
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! FISTED!
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
SAVED!
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
FISTY
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Wheeeeeeeeeeee
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Wish I was there right now just to give Fister an ovation
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
WHEW
FIGGY.
1L - May 2, 2010
Woohoo!
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Nice game, Fister.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Lopez doesn't have the range to get to that.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Doug Fister does it again!
Goose - May 2, 2010
I LOVE FISTER.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Thank Jesus.
Aardsma. Nervous.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Was it Guerrero that fucked up Soriano?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Yes
Matthew - May 2, 2010
What an asshole
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Tommy Lasorda too.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
WOOOOO CHONE!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FISTER!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Judging by the congrats he got in the bullpen
Looks like we will see the DA.
kschimke - May 2, 2010
Woops
Dugout…
kschimke - May 2, 2010
I love defense.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
Hah. Just keep Guti in the OF and play with seven IFs
in Fister’s starts.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
That Ichiro fella was pretty important today.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
ICHIRO must also play.
TrustBaseball - May 2, 2010
He can play short on the right side of the infield.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Fister for Cy Young
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
We need to score one more run to counter Texas' solo homer off the DA in the 9th.
tintin - May 2, 2010
Oh God, Aardsma to face the top of the order if they go to him
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Royals optioned 3B Alex Gordon to Triple-A Omaha.
Make it happen Z!
w00tah - May 2, 2010
GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
DH?
Kirk - May 2, 2010
I'd go for that
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I think I would too.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
You think?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Maybe.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
In half a second
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
You could use the other half to pleasure yourself at the thought!
Matthew - May 2, 2010
You pleasure yourself in half a second?
Kirk - May 2, 2010
That's almost impressive
…Almost…
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
I was implying that OlSalty could
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Else I would have said "I could use..."
See the difference?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I hate you sometimes.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
That's because you're a cat
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I'm not a cat.
Cats dress funny.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
It's a lot easier when you're in scoring position.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
I've been banging this drum for a week. Chris Getz! Chris fucking Getz!
abender20 - May 2, 2010
God I love that team.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Don't we like our infield?
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Bench
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Sure, but we hate our DH's.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
We're obviously not going to replace the left-handed part of that platoon.
If we do, we’re obviously going to put Bradley at DH and put in Langerhans or Saunders in left.
Maybe I shouldn’t say “obviously,” given this year’s developments.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
I think Griffey to the bench is pretty likely
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
My point about there being a lack of space for Gordon still stands.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
He can be stashed in the minors!
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Until we trade Lopez!
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Sorted!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
We'll cash in on his defensive reputation!
I cannot believe that’s sort of not a joke.
Hey remember the speculation that we hoped moving Lopez to 3B would increase his trade value because he might show he’s able to play multiple positions?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I do!
And I still think he’s likely to be traded.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
His defense is actually good, though!
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Wouldn't the cost be really high to just stuff him in Tacoma though?
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Probably not.
The Royals obviously don’t like him.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
It's not like we have a DH prospect who would be a better hitter than him right now
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Or a third base prospect that's a better hitter than him
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Alex Liddi? Carlos Triunfel?
*Note: I’m not a big follower of prospects, so take this post with a grain of salt.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Years away
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Gotcha.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Only one I could think of is Mangini.
w00tah - May 2, 2010
Not Tui
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
The Rangers are playing real baseball now.
:)
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Insurance, PLEASE
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Happy Fister Day!
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Niehaus says the Rangers lost the DH.
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Garko to first?
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
I can't figure out a good non-political response.
You win.
kevin_ess - May 3, 2010
CJ Wilson back for more?
Bad, bad idea.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
4th time through the lineup... Bad, bad idea. Always a bad idea.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
It is not always a bad idea
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Virtually, 3rd and 4th times through the order are pretty scary, replacement level relievers are usually better.
Unless the starter is exceptional.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Can you back this up with data?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
I don't have hard data, but OPS against between all starters the third/fourth times through the order and relievers the first time is quite a spread.
2009, 2008, 2007
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Where do you get this from?
Kirk - May 2, 2010
Good idea from a Mariners perspective
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Thanks, Ron
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Frabklin!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
*Go Frabklin!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Padres shutting out the Brewers again.
This is funny.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Are they for real?
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
Well I haven't personally seen them play,
but I do believe that this is not some massive practical joke and the Padres are in fact real
Matthew - May 2, 2010
This is SoCal we're talking about...
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Are you saying that the Padres players have fake breasts
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Not in so many words, no
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Well good, because I take issue with that
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
At this point I want them to win the division just because of the hilarity of it.
Goose - May 2, 2010
Boy will your face be red
When it turns out it’s an elaborate ruse with a projector and a recording of some old baseball games.
ungoreatstefan - May 2, 2010
Bonds for DH?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Fishing for a Bradley joke...
stredarts - May 2, 2010
In reality, it would take all media scrutiny off of Bradley.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
FIGGY!
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
I don't know which is more amazing, Tampa Bay or Boston
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
I'd go Boston.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Man, Boston are 7 games back. We're only half a game back if we win this and we've sucked
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
They're also in a much tougher division
I’m glad they’re 7 back though. I’m tired of the Red Sox.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
We don't have the Yankees and Rays in our division.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
I wasn't comparing us to them in terms of ability, just standings
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
And Tampa Bay has been rolling. I just didn't expect that much disparity in the standings
I think I agree with the Professor, Boston being that far down
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
What a lucky steal.
TrustBaseball - May 2, 2010
Figgins moves well across spacetime
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Did he get a glove full of Figgy?
1L - May 2, 2010
Figgers on the move today.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Please bunt
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
Come on Loafie
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
I like fast players on base.
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
GOD
WHY ARE YOU SWINGING
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Because he can
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Well this is a deep conversation
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Why ask questions when we already know the answers?
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Because you can
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Well this is a deep conversation
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
Well that sucks
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Sweet, more bad luck!
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
NOOOOooooooo!
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
FUCKING LOPEZ!
Jesus H.
James F'n X - May 2, 2010
How is that his fault
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Acblue, you just don't understand baseball.
Maybe if you spent a little more time on the diamond and a little less time in your mom’s basement, you’d get it.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
My parents don't have a basement
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Fine, subterranean ultrafort.
Whatever it is you nerds call it to make yourself feel better.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
You must have had a horrible childhood.
(Don’t worry, my houses all had axles.)
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
My parents have a very nice house but the land it is built on is not conducive to basements.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Sort of like the Lopez siblings' houses.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
But the siblings themselves are in the ground's basement this very minute.
katal - May 2, 2010
Multiple houses, huh?
Rich kid.
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Divorced parents.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Those aren't mutually exclusive
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I'm learning we suck.
kevin_ess - May 3, 2010
I'm going to gut you like a goddamned fish
for saying this to my frie— Oh. I get it. You’re making fun of the fact that his parents don’t have a base—- wait — I’m still going to gut you like a goddamned fish, you GIF WIELDING BASTARD.
kevin_ess - May 3, 2010
Oh fuck that
Alto - May 2, 2010
That was literally the worst thing that could happen
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Nah.
Triple play would have been the worst thing. That was the second worst thing to happen.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
He's right, you know.
You should think these things out, TWownsU.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
I guess Ichiro self-combusting in the dugout would have ranked up there, though.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
That would really cement his legend-status
CKel - May 2, 2010
I would hate for this to happen
but I would love to see a photoshop of gif of this.
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
OH COME
THE FUCK ON
1L - May 2, 2010
Well that was fucking retarded.
Goose - May 2, 2010
Damn.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Wow, fuck you Ryan Garko.
Heydude - May 2, 2010
Of course.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Ryan fucking Garko
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Wow what the fuck Garko.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Are you going to add that to your post about the bad luck of the offense, Matthew?
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
Should've bunted
JLC - May 2, 2010
We do people get mad at a player when he gets unlucky?
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
I like At Bat's / Game Day's batting info on Lopez.
Loves to face: 4-seam Fastball
Hates to face: Fastball
stredarts - May 2, 2010
At least that wasn't a triple play?
JY - May 2, 2010
Meh.
99 times out of 100 that’s a base hit.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Fewer, I'd think
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
But 99 time out of 100 that hit to Ryan Garko is a basehit.
themanleyman - May 2, 2010
Probably more like 80-90
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Still unlucky though
gmcm2000 - May 2, 2010
Not relative to, say, a Virgina or Utah miner
I feel we throw around the word luck to haphazardly on this site!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
LOPEZ
Why do you hate it when our team is doing well?
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
Tough break, don't hate on Loafie.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
That wasn't his fault in the slightest.
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
That was about 2 inches away from probably being a 2 run double
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Still
Except for his grand slam earlier this year, I havent enjoyed Lopez playing. The only player I dislike more is Tui.
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
He has been awesome in the field!
Come on now, struggling at the plate, but just a tad unfounded.
Limerickx - May 2, 2010
Sure, his fielding has been great
But he needs to hit just a titch better for me not to dislike him.
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
Holy fuck stop the bitching, Lopez hit a line drive.
tintin - May 2, 2010
DA PLEASE DO NOT BLOW THIS.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Here...we....go...
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Heart attack time!
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Good thing I wasn't paying attention because that inning seemed frustrating
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Game terrifying
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Oh my god Aardvark time.
svart aske - May 2, 2010
Please DA.
Close the case without theatrics!
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Extra innings!

Don't
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
No
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Why?!!
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Oh my god, you just jinxed it!!

Shut your damn fool mouth.

Good news!

More innings for the money!
JLProck - May 2, 2010
We must be getting the same feed
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
We're not playing in U.S. Cellular, so I'm at a 6 out of 10 on ther nervous meter
JLC - May 2, 2010
I'm at about 2 out of 10. After the last 2 games, I've used up all my nervousness
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
I hate those fucking Miller Lite commercials
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Elitist.
katal - May 2, 2010
I don't understand why being and/or prefering something that is elite is bad.
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Well aren't you all hoity-toity.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
That term is too unsophisticated for me
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
It's all about the common man, man.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
He must be a terrorist.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
This is definitely correct
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
9/11 was not an inside job.
I know you did it.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Actually that would make it an inside job
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
The subject line and content of this--what acblue said
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I didn't say it was!
katal - May 2, 2010
I didn't say you said it was!
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Touche.
katal - May 2, 2010
Agreed.
I can’t actually see them on the MLB.tv but they’re on ESPN Player all the bloody time.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Four more comments, and you'll have 6666
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
You're a regular detective, mattlock!
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Remember the tip I told you about last thread?
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Sorry, didn't realize that was a not ok thing to say
Won’t happen again.
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
It's just inane
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Ok, sorry about that.
In complete seriousness, where is the line between inane and not inane? It seems like a lot of inane happens on these threads. Though I do remember your post about cutting down on the comments in the game threads, and that would definitely include comments like mine.
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
There is no line
but that wasn’t part of any subthread and nobody cares about someone else’s post count
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Point taken.
Thanks Matthew.
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
Here comes the panic now.
JY - May 2, 2010
Hey guys remember that one time against the White Sox when I pretended like I was five minutes ahead of everyone?
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Well, Genie, what do you see in the Mariners' future?
James F'n X - May 2, 2010
We already won
The walk didn’t matter
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
How about that steal?
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
Nope
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Whew, that's a relief
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
You sir
Are a liar
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
No
I’m just really far ahead
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Well now I'm just intrigued
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
If you want I can send you an IM and spoil it for you
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Tempting...
But I wanna watch us lose first
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
We didn't lose
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
YOU'RE SCARING ME DAVID
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
That only requires that he walk near the mound.
JY - May 2, 2010
We have got to win this damn game.
Rays coming.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
THROW SOMETHING OFFSPEED!
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
He tried. It went in the dirt.
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
Have any of our starters thrown (significantly) more than 100 pitches this year?
I’m guessing Felix’s complete game. But that is it.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
Oh Jesus
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
No whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy

Goose - May 2, 2010
Gameday has that pitch in the middle of the strikezone.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
It was definitely low in the strike zone
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
I was about to say the same.
Was it that close?
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
You're a right cunt, Jim Joyce.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Hamilton 2 out 2 run homer?

Here we go!
Thanks for the call ump. Oh joy Michael Young!
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
I really hate that prick
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
Where the fuck was that pitch?
Sure looked a strike on At-Bat
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
Game over!
Ack!

Watching this from gameday is just painful
AtomicGarden - May 2, 2010
That was a strike, shiteyes.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
We're going to blow it
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Pitch 9 is clearly a ball!
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
It wasn't there.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
That's definitely wrong
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Can't get much worse than that
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
This must be what it looks like to get hit by a paintball shotgun
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
It was definitely lower than that.
But a wider zone and Aardsma probably gets the call
JLC - May 2, 2010
It wasn't THAT much of a strike
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
EVERYTHING IS FALLING APART!!
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Is MLB.com gameday lagging for anyone else?
Or is it just me.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Gameday is lagging for everyone everyday.
How are you not on justin.tv?
1L - May 2, 2010
Good question.
I was for the first few games of the season, but then they weren’t on for a few days so I kind of gave up.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Yeah, I definitely don't like David Aardsma.
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
That was a strike and we are quite probably boned.
JY - May 2, 2010
Note to people: gameday was wayyyyyyyyy off on that ball to Andrus
It was a legit ball.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Is it common for gameday to be off?
I was under the false impression that it was as good as pitch FX.
tintin - May 2, 2010
Yep, figures
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
Great, Fister's gonna get gypped.
svart aske - May 2, 2010
The Rangers may be a roving band of people, but they're hardly gypsies.

My nervous meter just doubled
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
12 out of 10?!
We’re boned.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
When I die of a heart attack, Aardsma,
I’m having my estate fucking sue you for damages.

I'm just crying out for affection.
Oh, the Rangers just scored? Cockmuffins.

It’s only worked once as a cry for affection. At least on this site.

Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Lights out ..... Aardsma
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Except the opposite of that
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
BS
rickpo - May 2, 2010
FIST ME
Jeremariner - May 2, 2010
SHIT TITS
Alto - May 2, 2010
Shitting dick nipples?
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
FUCK THIS FUCKING TEAM
WHO WOULD HAVE FUCKING THOUGHT THAT BLOWING EASY RUN SCORING OPPORTUNITIES WOULD HURT US
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Shit
gmcm2000 - May 2, 2010
FUCK ME UPSIDE DOWN
DAVID GODDAMN MURPHY
JLC - May 2, 2010
Hell.
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
I'M SO SORRY DOUG
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
DAVID FUCKING AARDSMA EVERYONE
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Can't expect him to convert every save when we keep only giving him 1 run to work with
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
And he just throws fastballs
kentroyals5 - May 2, 2010
Ah, fuck, now I'm going to be late to work because this game is running into extras.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
We all have seen the ending to this movie before
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
I get unceremoniously fired, have to drop out of school because I can't afford it, and end up panhandling on the streets exchanging proofreading for half-eaten McDonald's hamburgers.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
OF COURSE.
OF FUCKING COURSE.
1L - May 2, 2010
Can the Rangers FUCK OFF?
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
IT SUCKS TO ROOT FOR THIS TEAM
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Fuck you, Aardsma.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
I don't think Fister likes Aardsma that much.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
Here comes the part where we get swept.
And I’m not watching it.
Goose - May 2, 2010
The DA just Fisted Fister.
Heydude - May 2, 2010
Man it sucks to be David Aardsma
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
CASE DISMISSED!
Big Jared - May 2, 2010
Mistrial!
Goose - May 2, 2010
Poor Doug, gotta feel for him.
TrustBaseball - May 2, 2010
FUCK
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Fucking AMAZING.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
"It's enough to make a grown man cry."
Damn straight Dave.
Damn straight…
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Newsflash: Everything is still horrible.
JY - May 2, 2010
Good thing we're at such an advantage with a DH
Corco - May 2, 2010
This is true.
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
DA is stupid.
kentroyals5 - May 2, 2010
POOR DOUG FISTER
LOOK AT HIS FACE DA. LOOK AT HIS FACE AND SEE HOW YOU FAILED HIM
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
ROB'S THE MAN.
TrustBaseball - May 2, 2010
Does that count as redemption at all?
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Appropriate?
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
I think Griffey needs to update Carl Everett.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Griffey, Carl Everett. Same difference at this point.
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
Does Carl Everett even believe Griffey exists?
I thought he didn’t believe in Dinosaurs.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
Or the Dinosaur
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Somehow comforting
JLC - May 2, 2010
Game over. Fuck this shit.
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
Bad decision by Murphy.
But good throw RJ.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Whatever
Just hit a walkoff
ThundaPC - May 2, 2010 via mobile
SOMEONE BETTER HIT A FUCKING WALK OFF HOME RUN.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
I vote Kotch Rocket.
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Home run?
AHAHAHAHAHA!
Goose - May 2, 2010
Griffey?
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Cookies!
RunningFool - May 2, 2010
Havent hit one in a week.
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
WE'RE DUE.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
We're due for a lot of things on the offensive side.
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
When was the last time this lineup had one go over the fence, in fair territory?
Seven days ago?
AtomicGarden - May 2, 2010
We'll get a run
… Next week! Hey-oh!
katal - May 2, 2010
I was full on expecting Byrnes to do a backflip there.
Kirk - May 2, 2010
This weekend fucking sucks
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Should of just left Fister out there.
Such bullshit.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
And the offense fucking sucks for not scoring more runs when we had men on 2B and 3B with 0 outs.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Brynes blew it again, the retard.
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
Put him in a Rocket and fire him into the sun.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
You would need that dimensional thingy they put Zod into in Superman 2
to hold Eric Byrnes.
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
He took two unhittable pitches that were not in or especially close to the strike zone.
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
What was his pitch count?
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
100
I would have left him in
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
100
RunningFool - May 2, 2010
100.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Who cares?
Matt Harrison threw like 130 pitches yesterday.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
127 to be exact.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
Oh ok everyone should throw that many then.
Nice reasoning.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Oh it's not going to kill Fister to throw 20 more pitches.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Do you really believe that 100+ pitch Fister is better than David Aardsma?
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Yes
Yes I do
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
Then you are silly.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Next time Fister gets to pitch the 9th.
I don’t care what his pitch count is at the time.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
Who hit the last HR?
I honestly don’t remember.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Franklin
Rowsdower - May 2, 2010
For the M's? Guti
JLC - May 2, 2010
Guti in Chicago, a week ago today.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
It was Guti I believe
in Chicago
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
What's a HR?
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
Guti
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
Fuck the cokehead Rangers!
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
At least their pitcher has to hit in extras
Corco - May 2, 2010
Aardsma for Alex Gordon.
Woooo!
w00tah - May 2, 2010
We could probably also get Soria.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Fister for Gordon and Moustakas
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
I'm gonna call it here and now.
If we don’t walk off next inning, we lose the game
Allen Wu - May 2, 2010
So we haven't hit a home run since last Sunday
Now would be a good time for our weekly home run.
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
DA CAN'T EVEN LOOK DOUG FISTER IN THE EYE.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
I have never watched the M's hit a walk off homerun live. Today would be a nice day to change that!
EnglishMariner - May 2, 2010
That can't happen here :(
Corco - May 2, 2010
Oh wait
Corco - May 2, 2010
So this is what "small margin for error" means...
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Eric Byrnes walkoff
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
Just kidding, he doesn't walk anywhere
OlSalty - May 2, 2010
He rides his bike.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Walk back to the dugout
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
Eric Byrnes bikeoff
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Sprintoff!
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Pranceoff
TrustBaseball - May 2, 2010
GOD I HATE YOU ELVIS
Corco - May 2, 2010
Eric Byrnes. All my hopes and dreams are crushed before he even gets to the plate.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Hey look a line drive that isn't a hit
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
Kotchman
Is really good at those
Malcontent1 - May 2, 2010
ARGHNDRUS
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
This is just the fucking worst
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
God hates us
And we didn’t even put Jesus through waivers…
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Seriously, Mike Sweeney can't even pray properly.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Byrnes gonna stare at 3 pitches again.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
SWING THE BAT
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Thanks...
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
wait
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
DFA Byrnes now.
He’s proven himself entirely useless. There are a multitude of better options out there.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
SHUT UP HE PUTS A SMILE ON SOME OF OUR FACES
Corco - May 2, 2010
Can one be flagged for absurdity?
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
Someoner with an average over .100 would put a smile on some of our faces.
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
There is a much better option inside the organization itself
Two, even.
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Agreeeee
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Would Arizona still pay his contract?
Minus the ~400k we’re paying now?
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Yes.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
Thanks.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Yes
Corco - May 2, 2010
Thanks?
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
And he is the ultimate competitor...
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Byrnes the lefty masher!
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
I'm not surprised
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
God that's shocking.
Byrnes looks terrible.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
BYRNES!!!!
shakes fist
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Damn.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Get the FUCK out of Seattle Eric Byrnes.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Wow that was ugly
Corco - May 2, 2010
At least you're smiling for some reason
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Exactly!
Corco - May 2, 2010
No
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Byrnes should ride his bicycle back to the dugout
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I've been thinking this.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
He should ride it into a volcano
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Byrnes' bicycle could probably hit better than him at this point
Alto - May 2, 2010
No.. Rob Johnson will not hit a HR right now..
he sucks
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Most hitters are unlucky when they hit below .100.
Byrnes appears to have earned most of that.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Byrnes is now hitting below the Byrnes Line
rickpo - May 2, 2010
Why do we even bother....
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
My love affair for Eric Byrnes is increasingly looking like it might be short lived
Corco - May 2, 2010
At least Byrnes is the fans' new whipping boy instead of Milty
Brian Floyd - May 2, 2010
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
Mariners.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
WHAT A BOUQUET OF BULLSHIT
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
YES YES RUN WITH THIS ONE
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
ME LIKEY
abender20 - May 2, 2010
THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT STAIN
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
GOD WE CAN'T FUCKING DO ANYTHING RIGHT
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS AMIRITE
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS IT IS, KERMIT
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THESE COCK SMEARS CAN'T HIT THE BASEBALL
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
Not really. Griffey is old, Sweeney is old, Byrnes is a bucket of tard, and Loafie has learned nothing in 5 years.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
YOU ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD AT THIS AND I CAN ONLY LIVE IN YOUR SHADOW
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
I AM GOING TO GO KICK A CAN DOWN THE STREET
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
I'M GONNA FIT BYRNES WITH A SET OF CONCRETE GALOSHES, SEE?
Kermit. - May 2, 2010
The belief system happened
tait644 - May 2, 2010
The Rangers Mariners'd us
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
GOD
royalcurve - May 2, 2010
Aardsma happened.
Big Jared - May 2, 2010
Oh, just the usual
JLC - May 2, 2010
Aardsma gave up a run.
The first batter walked and stole 2nd base. Then Young struck out. Next batter singled home the run.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
On the bright side Texas' bench will be emptied as of next inning
Corco - May 2, 2010
Ours was empty at first pitch
abender20 - May 2, 2010
I predict this game ends on a Rich Harden walkoff home run
Corco - May 2, 2010
*not walkoff
Corco - May 2, 2010
You know what this team needs:
Scott Spiezio
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
YES
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
I have a feeling we lose next inning, and I'm usually an optimist
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
The DA didnt have the evidence
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Whatever happened to Brad Fullmer?
Corco - May 2, 2010
Old player skills and got past 30?
abender20 - May 2, 2010
Yeah but what is he up to these days?
Corco - May 2, 2010
If Sweeney is 6-4-3
and Junior is 4-3,
what does that make Byrnes?
tait644 - May 2, 2010
K
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
3
Teej - May 2, 2010
Bingo
Goose - May 2, 2010
Backwards K.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
K
Brian Floyd - May 2, 2010
Male
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Kan of Korn?
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
He does clearly have issues.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
A Goddamned retard
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
IFFB
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Correct.
AtomicGarden - May 2, 2010
6
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Dave is begging for a HR
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
If Rob Johnson walks here, we will pinch-hit for Jack Wilson and no runs will be scored.
JY - May 2, 2010
And thank goodness we managed to avoid that.
JY - May 2, 2010
That was the douchiest kid I have ever seen
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
At least Ichiro bats next inning
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
At which point we will be trailing.
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
All aboard the extra inning train!
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Good AB at least Rob Johnson
Did I really just say that?
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Cameraman had me convinced that was in the gap
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
Rob should DH.
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Yes.
He actually should.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Kudos to the camera guy for showing the left fielder, on a fly ball to the center fielder.
Heydude - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson has hit the ball hard.
I will temporarily stop ripping on his offense.
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Johnson has a couple long outs today
He actually hasn’t been that horrible
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
All I have to say about this weekend in sports is :(
Mariner John - May 2, 2010
I'm going to go take a shower.
Too scared to watch League.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
League is good though
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
But that will destroy the evidence!
JY - May 2, 2010
Rob Johnson has the best AB of the day
there is your nutshell
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Hey, a flyball.
ignacio - May 2, 2010
Lee and Fister are going to start a support group
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Zach Grienke will never miss a meeting
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Unless he's crying in his basement while norting Xanax.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
So is it just what I am now comparing him against,
or has Rob Johnson actually looked like a decent ballplayer today.
themanleyman - May 2, 2010
He has indeed looked decent.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Whoever decided on Safeco's dimensions knowing the Pacific Northwest climate is not conducive to HR's sucks.
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
Yeah, clearly a bandbox would have been better
We’ve seen how good Cincy has been since GAB opened…
tait644 - May 2, 2010
I'm thinking Safeco's dimensions has saved more games for the Mariners than lost it.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Easily.
It turns pitchers like Doug Fister into very good pitchers.
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Do you feel the same way about people who decided on the Mariners lineup?
Because I feel that has a larger effect.
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
This is a simple question but I'm not sure which way is right
In a low scoring environment is batting at the end of the 9th more of an advantage or less of an advantage compared to the current run scoring environment.
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
Is this team gonna wait 'til we are 5 games back
to make any changes?
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
No, they're going to wait until we are 15 games back.
Ian Smell - May 2, 2010
Yep, it'll be this inning
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
This will end well.
katal - May 2, 2010
I see what you did thar
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
It did.
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
Nice to have Ian Kinsler back so he can murder us
JLC - May 2, 2010
Let's bring back Richie Sexson. He produces on par with the rest of the team
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
I hear Al Martin is in the best shape of his life
ChaseB - May 2, 2010
not sayin much
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
He's been playing for USC
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Routine GB for a hit
meanwhile our last two LDs have been right at someone
tait644 - May 2, 2010
I don't want another condescending post after this game about how now is not the time to get angry about the team.
This team has problems that need to be addressed, stat.
katal - May 2, 2010
Yuppers.
abender20 - May 2, 2010
I already wrote a venting thread
Matthew - May 2, 2010
My bad, missed it.
katal - May 2, 2010
There it is.
Thanks for saying what you did.
katal - May 2, 2010
Time to bump that shit up.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Doesn't the team look kind of "hangdog"?
That looks like the prevailing chemistry to me. Hopeless looks on their faces,
ignacio - May 2, 2010
Hmmm. Which M should I vote for for the All-Star game?
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Can you vote for the Moose?
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Write in vote.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
I doubt Sweeney's still around by the All-Star Game.
Teej - May 2, 2010
You can vote Ichiro for the Home Run Derby, right?
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Fister!
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Sweeney, for old-timers sake.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
I did Ichiro, Guti, Bradley, Figgers, and Griffey for hilarity.
w00tah - May 2, 2010
Byrnes for sure
He’s SO good
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
Ichiro
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Franklin and Ichiro.
katal - May 2, 2010
Griffey if I'm a fan of an NL team that wants home-field advantage in the WS
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
And now time for a GB up the middle to bring Kinsler home
Either that or a jam-job blooped into RF
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Throwing error by the pitcher.
drblacknwhite - May 2, 2010
Can we ever catch a break?
Over the past decade it seems like we’re always losing these games we absolutely need.
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
You're right.
The Mariners just couldn’t win any games in 2001.
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
Must have been all those bad breaks.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
And they had such a terrible record in one-run games last year.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll, we didn't win the last game of the regular season, which would have pushed us to 117.
And then there were all those October games in NY.
katal - May 2, 2010
Or the Indians game that we were up by 13 runs.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Does this qualify as an "absolute need"?
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Yes, being 1.5 games back with 135 games or so to play is insurmountable.
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Honestly, it's starting to feel that way.
katal - May 2, 2010
Atleast wait til we lose this game!
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
That sac bunt raised our WE by 2%
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
If we can't retire Garko/Treanor/Blanco
We deserve to lose
Corco - May 2, 2010
You mean bunting is stupid about 95% of the time? Huh.
tait644 - May 2, 2010
This is a reply to Griffin Cooper
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Pleeeease do not give up a run.
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Why not?
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Because a lose would have been the result.
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
Oh that makes sense.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Just came in, Doesn't seem like we miss much did we?
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
It's like a "choose your own adventurer" novel
that always leads to the same ending.
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Yeah
always ended up in that damn alligator pit.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Fister was his usual self
unfortunately so was the Mariners’ offence and Aardsma
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
It's scary we can call this "his usual self" now
Brian Floyd - May 2, 2010
We can?
Mariner John - May 2, 2010
Ichiros got it
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Crisis averted
?
Mariner John - May 2, 2010
If I had a library of Simpsons JPGs
this is where I would post the one where a dog saves the Power plant while Homer is sleeping.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
Isn't it just maddening when you want to post a Simpsons image but just can't find it?
Eyebrows - May 2, 2010
It very much is.
I can’t even figure out which episode that was in. What possible search terms could I use to figure that out? Just hopeless.
Matthew - May 2, 2010
It's a shame you don't because I would probably rec that picture if I saw it.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Phew.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Thank Christ
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
I don't see what Colome had to do with that...
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Please stop
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Wait - I'm the one who gets called on the incessant Jesus/Colome routine?
tait644 - May 2, 2010
This one doesn't even work.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
My heart stopped
Kaorikaze - May 2, 2010
Well that terrified me
We’ve gotta get it done this inning. Seriously.
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
That almost gave me a heart attack
JLC - May 2, 2010
Sometimes it makes me really happy when Gameday is ahead of the audio stream.
Seeing in play (out) helps a hell of a lot in these situations.
stredarts - May 2, 2010
WHEW
1L - May 2, 2010
Phew.
I thought that line drive was going to touch down.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Whatever happened to "Ef the yankees"?
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Suffering from PTSD?
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
We haven't played them yet this year
Which means we hate them 12.8% less than usual
Fireball309 - May 2, 2010
I'm talking about the commenter
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
He probably got mad that we jacked his Off Topic post about Cal Ripken, Jr. wanting to come back to play.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Oh, right. Forgot all about that
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
DO NOT PINCH HIT FOR JACK WILSON
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
No, don't.
ignacio - May 2, 2010
How will we ever see Griffey do something awesome if we never let him play?
Corco - May 2, 2010
I want to see Griffey at short. Oh God that would be amazing.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
It would be amazing if Griffey
let us never play him
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
You mean that he retires? Yes, that would be awesome.
And he takes out Sweeney on his way out of the building.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
ICHIRO!
Corco - May 2, 2010
walk off HR, calling it
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
Rich Harden is going to hit the home run that wins this game
I’m positive of this
Corco - May 2, 2010
Nice call.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
I'm so glad you did this
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
Jack Wilson walk off HR.
If he actually gets to bat that is…
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
Little short...
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
PLEASE DO NOT PINCH HIT.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Griffey Sighting? Nahhh
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Griffey needs more ABs, to reach that 650 HR goal
by 2015
ErictheRed - May 2, 2010
Sounds like a good time for SWEENEY
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
DO NOT TEMPT HIM
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Im suprised those fan comments don't mention griffey or sweeney
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
What the hell is this Fan Pulse thing...?
This looks incredibly fake.
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
ICHIRO IS UP.
Pretend he’s Mariano Rivera.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Incoming Ichiro solo bomb
Alto - May 2, 2010
Or strike out on three pitches, that works too
Alto - May 2, 2010
Why didn't we pinch hit Junior?
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Deep fly ball out > ground ball out?
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
So, why isn't FSN showing negative comments about the lineup on the "Fan Pulse?"
tait644 - May 2, 2010
One of the texts showed a person saying
Fister looked like a young Randy Johnson. I puked.
kschimke - May 2, 2010
Because they have a vested interest in selling the team as a product
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
I just sent in an encouraging text.
I hope it shows up!
katal - May 2, 2010
BAH
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Well that was a buzz kill...
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Wooooow. 3 pitches?
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
One of which was not a strike.
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
TWO GAMES WITHOUT A HIT
DFA ICHIRO
craig3410 - May 2, 2010
Nice 2nd strike shit for eyes
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
DAMMIT SHITEYES
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
Wow Ichiro.
Ender15 - May 2, 2010
Dustin Nipper just struck out Ichiro. This just isn't our game.
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Baseball in general or today?
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
*sport
Fuckmikereilly - May 2, 2010
Nippert*
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Holy god damn.
1L - May 2, 2010
Yikes
Corco - May 2, 2010
THAT WAS A STRIKE
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
I hate Joyce
JLC - May 2, 2010
I see that Jen wants us to have a fun-filled season.
Darien is encouraging some “Sodo Mojo”, and Mike reminds us that our starting pitching has been exceptional.
I love these scrolling fan-text comments.
katal - May 2, 2010
Kaylee loves Ichiro!
Riveting.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
Katal, they forgot the damn hyphen between fun and filled.
COMPOUND MODIFIERS NEED TO BE COMPOUNDED!
thehemogoblin - May 2, 2010
And they are surely representative of Mariner Nation et al.
tait644 - May 2, 2010
Robots
Isten Maga - May 2, 2010
Figgens bomb coming up
Then a Guti double to bring him home.
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
Ehh
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Hmm...
What do you consider a “bomb” in baseball?
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
I believe he is saying
that Figgy is incapable of hitting a walk-off
yessirrr - May 2, 2010
So you are saying a Figgins bomb
would be a double? And it’s Figgins with 2 i’s, no e.
seattle_since_81 - May 2, 2010
Figgins!
I am getting pretty fed up of correcting people on this.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
We should reply to Sam Regins.
Wilder. - May 2, 2010
Hey that looks better
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
Sorry about it, but Yay! he walked.
Guti double please!
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
Figgins
He has been in the league for years now. They show his name on the screen. It is sewn onto the back of his jersey. F-I-G-G-I-N-S
Aaron Campeau - May 2, 2010
Rally caps don't seem to be working kids.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Are the Rangers bribing Joyce with crack?
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
I fucking hate rally caps
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
Better than...you know
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Rally monkeys?
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Fries?
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
I like them
as much as I like The Wave.
zeeehjee - May 2, 2010
I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like the wave
I don’t like it when it goes around 10 times or when I miss important events and people need to give up when they try to start it 18 times but there is something about the wave that makes me smile.
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
Why?
JBell523 - May 2, 2010
Not that you can't, but why?
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
Just makes people look stupid
Edgar for Pres - May 2, 2010
It looks like there's a chance we could have a historically HR-less offense.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
NL for the win!
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
AL, I mean.
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
I would take most NL pitchers over our *DHs...
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
Kids find baseball to be boring, we get it.
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
PLEASE WALK
THIS IS WHEN GUTI SHINES
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
THANK YOU
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
WOO!
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
And figgy walks.
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Steal
Base hit
Fuck the Rangers
OceanBird - May 2, 2010
I read the last line of this comment as if it were coming from Snoop Dogg in Dre Day.
katal - May 2, 2010
Time for some of that Guti sex magic
Alto - May 2, 2010
Unsatisfied
Mejeh - May 2, 2010
Fuck that slow curve
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
GOD DAMNIT
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Crap.
Omerta - May 2, 2010
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT.
E-Lizz - May 2, 2010
Awwwwwwww
TWownsU - May 2, 2010
I CAN'T FUCKING STAND THIS SHIT
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Alto - May 2, 2010
That was SO well hit... FUCK
lailaihei - May 2, 2010
Fuck you horseface
Fucking David Murphy bullshit
cwel87 - May 2, 2010
**sigh**
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
I want this game to last 20 innings so Joyce blows out his vocal chords.
JLC - May 2, 2010
Blergh
Graham MacAree - May 2, 2010
On the plus side, the banner got some nice face time
Brian Floyd - May 2, 2010
Really not our day.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
*weekend.
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
Well, we just sucked in the previous two
but we’ve been really unlucky today.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
I'm gonna go get a sandwich
Someone hold down the thread for me
Fett42 - May 2, 2010
I did
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
This is like a play by Samuel Beckett.
ignacio - May 2, 2010
Waiting for the Go-Ahead?
Jeremariner - May 2, 2010
Crappy Days? ENDGAME?
Jeremariner - May 2, 2010
Catastrophe?
You just had to get the goddamn theater major going…
Jeremariner - May 2, 2010
Should we even be surprised anymore?
This series is like some sort of cruel torture experiment
Gihyou - May 2, 2010
I think if a team plays the majority of it's games at a place like Safeco, it makes it okay to use steroids.
Who’s with me?
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
Call it an equalizer....
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
No
Matt Erickson - May 2, 2010
But it worked for Bret Boone?
For one season anyways.
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
Also, is this no joke Sunday or something?
sanford_and_son - May 2, 2010
Hopefully a Texas Ranger catcher gets injured and has to come out of the game and is healthy again tomorrow
Corco - May 2, 2010
Because I want to see Garko behind the plate
Corco - May 2, 2010
All this pain would have been averted (and Fister get the win) if Brynes had got the man in with bases loaded and 1 out
Sam Regens - May 2, 2010
Or if Brumley had sent Guti on a ball he could have scored on
Griffin Cooper - May 2, 2010
Looks like we agree.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
Did you copy and paste that from Friday?
Belom3 - May 2, 2010
That's impossible?
EequalsMc2 - May 2, 2010
Or if Aardsma did his job properly.
Eyeball Kid - May 2, 2010
He sucks at his job.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
They should have sent Guti on the fly ball before that.
LonelyintheBleachers - May 2, 2010
