Do you have to forward it to ten friends or your sweetheart won't fall in love with you?

Brian Floyd - May 7, 2010 reply

Look out kid, it's something you did.

God knows when...

but apparently I’m doing it again!

AKR:AWLSJR:LGJ: :)

er :(

I hope my roommate is drinking tonight.

Wow. Ichiro. Struck out swinging.

It’s just one of those games.

It's been "just one of those games" for like the last 7 games

2010

One of THOSE seasons.

Our hitters are selective until they see a bad pitch they like

Jim Edmonds also has the HHH theme song as his walk up music.

Goose - May 7, 2010 reply

9 OUTS TO GO

Cantu Easley Winn - May 7, 2010 reply

until the nohitter ends?

perfectstrat - May 7, 2010 reply

At least there's no way he throws it already at 89 pitches

Matthew - May 7, 2010 reply

Little victories

4 pitch innings?

You may be underestimating our capabilities.

Big Jared - May 7, 2010 reply

Smooooooooooth sailing from here

Our plan is working!

kentroyals5 - May 7, 2010 reply

If Jered Weaver completes his no-hitter, it will symbolically be on the at-bat that lowers Chone Figgins' average below the Mendoza line

I LOVE IT.

I hope Figgins breaks it up

Halos Heaven would BLOW UP.

OceanBird - May 7, 2010 reply

That would be delightful.

I hope we return the favor tomorrow night!

This is a good idea.

Haha, that guy is awesome

Rudy4three - May 7, 2010 reply

You know, it is one thing to be no-hit by Dwight Gooden....

Yeah whatever. What's this about blow under Griffey's arm?

Doc Gooden - May 7, 2010 reply

FSN should interview that "bad dancer" guy

That’d be more interesting than watching this game and it would probably still suck.

Were they showing him?

Did he feel the need to come out?

Yeah they showed him running around the stadium

I guess.

okay who called the no hitter earlier?

Kenny Knows Sports - May 7, 2010 reply

It might actually be better if they get no hit

It justifies the bitching I will do after this game.

Might as well at this point right?

Kenny Knows Sports - May 7, 2010 reply

Yeah if you are gonna suck you might as well do a good job at it

No-hitter will get broken up this inning.

I hope we get it off a bunt just to be annoying

There ya go.

Yeah that takes foresight

Not really though.

I think we all saw this coming.

Remember when we had bases loaded in the night against Texas last Friday..

We were a medium fly ball away from first place.. Since then, this has been most rotten stretch of games I’ve ever witnessed

Rudy4three - May 7, 2010 reply

I turned off the television just now, sorry Mariners,

BigR - May 7, 2010 reply

Does no caps indicate that you have calmed down?

Reply fail - meant for msb comment.

I think that we are numb.

suddenly i don't even want to bother hitting the shift key

He just did a 360!

and the fucking rangers won

rangers - May 7, 2010 reply

Who gives a shit, we suck.

kentroyals5 - May 7, 2010 reply

This is why the Richie logo never got changed, huh.

Never forget.

Benne - May 7, 2010 reply

Correctomundo!

I think we should change it now

It represents all of us.

We were doing fine until Matthew got his helicopter license

Yeah but Matthew can roadgeek via helicopter

Which from what I understand is absolutely magical

Should we hope for a Vic Morrow scenario?

So what you're saying is Matthew can fly an Apache and strafe the Mariners dugout?

Vic Morrow got decapitated during the shooting of some film about Vietnam

by a flying helicopter blade. At least, that’s my memory. 2 Vietnamese got it too.

It was the Twilight Zone Movie

and involved some fake explosions and the chopper crashing. I remember reading about the lawsuit.

abelard - May 7, 2010 reply

Heh.

@ JPosnanski
Zack loses. Yuni drops a pop-up, and I can’t help but wonder if it will actually get worse. http://bit.ly/ccp5Nn

Time to hit it?

I'd hit it.

Yes.

I'd tap that.

Was there no podcast this week?

I lost my voice for several days

Did you find it??

It was in a can with Prince Albert

phew i was really concerned!!

It would probably be the two of them saying FUCK the entire hour.

Better start charging boys!

I don't think that boys should listen to salty language like that

It’d be PG-13 at least. Besides, I’m not sure if boys have access to their parent’s credit cards/paypal accounts.

abelard - May 7, 2010 reply

They'd throw in shit to mix it up a bit

Do you really need a podcast to tell you the M's lost again?

We do a little more than report news

Is there a stat for luck?

= babip - batting average

or maybe the other way around

I know that.

I mean for the whole team.

Still works

This team sucks. Luck isn’t the problem

= pythag wins - wins

maybe

I wonder what will happen this inning.

Home run

Come on Griffdawg

He'll catch Willie even if it kills him.

Big Jared - May 7, 2010 reply

It's going to kill him

Any good info on Ackley?

I’m jonesing for something

He's starting off slow.

Doing better lately.

.303/.452/.485 in last ten games coming into tonight, five game hitting streak after tonight.

.400/.538/.600 in May!

Groundball to SS, flyball to right center and pop up

Dave Sims thinks Weaver is pitching well.

He hasn't been terrible.

Fuckmikereilly - May 7, 2010 reply

He has a no-no going. Just jinxed it :)

Is a no-hitter against the Mariners something to be proud of?

I can’t really decide.

If it were any team but the Angels or Red Sox I'd be OK with it

Do it Gutz

Shove the bat up that umps ass. You know you want to.

Yeah that was a strike.

X

Griffdawg!

ThundaPC - May 7, 2010 reply

FUCK.

HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT.

Except it was not really a weak grounder.

YOU FUCKING CALLED IT

Wow dude, A+

Next time try to predict something better ok?

Are we winning yet?

YES

You clearly must be talking about our fantasy team because the Mariners are clearly not in the lead.

what???

What game are you watching?

Angels Mariners

What day is it?

Friday

Oh God no it's Saturday

It's Saturday!!!!

Happy Ocho de Mayo!

May the Eighth be with you :)

I hope so!!

FUCK YOU GRIFF

GRIFF

DAWG

Whelp, Griffey will be in the lineup for another month now

Fine by me.

Not like we’d win anyway.

True

but if we are going to just give up trying I want to build a team with a midget at DH.

GRIFFDAWG I DON'T UNDERSTAND?!

Didn't you call this earlier?

Oh fuck this.

BAHAHAHA GROUNDER BETEWEN FIRST AND SECODN

LonelyintheBleachers - May 7, 2010 reply

Where?

You know how Junior always does something on his special days

That’s as close as he can come to a home run these days.

Well that was a nice end to the inning

THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE

Coach Owens - May 7, 2010 reply

Lopez is clearly still playing like the game is close

He tried to hit into a double play

Fuck you Griffey.

Now I have no reason to watch.

HOW IS THAT A COMPLAINT

Of all the things to have happen, that was one of them.

I disagree

So you're saying that what we just saw happen was not among the list of possible things to happen in this game, ever.

Boy am I glad I tuned in.

Thanks for this

I call 'em like I sees 'em.

Cantu Easley Winn - May 7, 2010 reply

50 WALKS INCOMING

Cantu Easley Winn - May 7, 2010 reply

He did something!

Big Jared - May 7, 2010 reply

MORE.

Breaking up no-hitters with 40-year old DHs has to be worth 8 or 9 runs, right

Alto - May 7, 2010 reply

That actually pisses me off a ltitle. It was the only reason I had to keep watching this game.

Goose - May 7, 2010 reply

This is a very valid statement

And Griffey's avg needs to be below Mendoza to reflect how awful he's really been

so the dumbshit fan can understand

Completely agree. I just turned it off.

But Blowers cautions us that “even in the blowouts the at-bats are just as important; Guys are trying to hit their way out of slumps, get back from injuries, all sorts of things. Just because the team is down by 9 runs doesn’t mean there isn’t meaningful baseball going on out there.”

Vomit.

Yay! we broke up the no-no it's almost like winning a game but not really

I just didn't want the no-hitter to come at the hands of Jered Weaver.

Alright, fuck it.

With the no-no gone, I have nothing to watch for.

Goodnight, everybody!

Benne - May 7, 2010 reply

Did we seriously field a lineup today with only two starter hitting above .220?

Yes we did.

It's the only kind of lineup we can field

Yeah, dammit Wak!

Should've only used one

Holy crap Dave has been calling games for a long time

He called a no hitter for a guy that went on to marry Mamie Van Dorn

Mamie van Doren.

Star of Girls town, one of the finest films to show up on MST3K

Wasn't she beheaded in an auto accident?

Pink Goddess or something, I can never keep her and the other one straight

I could always google this bit of trivia

Let me Google that for you

I didn't think you'd ever do this.

Is this a sign of disrespect?

I love you Kermit :(

I don't know anymore

But that’s nice of you to say : )

You are my favorite Hasselbeck/Enigk lookalike

Oh geez he really does look like Mr. Enigk. How had I never noticed that?

D'awww. If you still looked like Gil Meche I'd hug you

Seems backwards

Manhugs are awkward

C'mere you

.

Wait, are you hugging too?

I'm not sure.

I’m still trying to process the lift of the clown ban.

I still respect you I think?

Jeff stopped caring because he realized it was pointless

I hope

Okay, now I super respect him.

I have a reason for everything I do

It doesn't have to be a good one.

No, that was Jayne Mansfield.

Sadly, known more these days as Mariska Hargitay’s mother

Here is Jayne

I get that all the time

One of my favorite photos.

Our bullpen is throwing a no-hitter.

ThundaPC - May 7, 2010 reply

Amalgam no no!

The Houston Astros bullpen threw a no-hitter a while back.

That just means we'll have to endure countless cries of:

“But the takeaway is that the bullpen threw a no-hitter! Just think of the potential if we ever gave them a lead!”

Yea, we tried that. It didn’t go too well.

Will we?

No

Countless = My coworkers

And it’s already happened.

When the game is like this the mop-up guy has it easy

The Angels just want the game to end, get to the hotel, something to eat and drink and call outcall escorts

I DONT EVEN CARE IF ITS GOOD OR NOT ANYMORE JUST DO SOMETHING FUCKING INTERESTING

Hey 2 outs already

Texeira works fast

Right, I'm out. Iron Man awaits.

Just for the symmetry, let's keep the Angels to 8 runs, so we can lose 8- for the third game in a row.

Hey our relievers haven't been too bad

Yeah i'm really glad we used out second best reliever while we were down by 8

I’m going to be so mad tomorrow when the game is tied and the angels have the bases loaded in the seventh and League is unavailable.

This is also why I suddenly hate Wak.

I wouldn't be so annoyed if they looked like they were trying to fight back.

But they way we seem to just roll over as soon as the other team scores a run is absolutely pitiful.

This. This is why I suddenly hate Wak.

You guys want to start talking about something cool like volcanos or something?

Anybody hear anything recently whether they are actually gonna clone woolly mammoths?

I want fucking Michael Saunders to hit a HR.

Just to prove that he can.

/robbed

I appreciate Rizzs' dedication to remaining enthusiastic

It cools the blood boil

He's a professional

To a point

There is optimistic and then there is delusional. Sometimes i think it would be nice to hear a broadcaster say something like “you know Rob Johnson just isn’t a major league catcher” just so i know its really true and I’m not just going crazy.

I was being completely sarcastic

THEY'RE BACK

In that case

I especially enjoyed Dave Sims in like the second inning saying the Rob Johnson has been doing great for the Mariners behind the plate this year.

I guess

Josh Wilson did not play well

He can't

Hannhan's played second two days in a row now.

Progress?

He's also made like nine errors already

Ten, actually.

One tonight.

My stars

We should call up Dennis Raben

Free Carlos Peguero

Nice discipline Buck!

Aw at least do something with a pitch right down the middle

I have a random question.

For any of you out there who has an iPOD Touch, what are your opinions of them?

This game is so dull that when something happens, the loud noises scare me.

Why are we talking about Moyer? He wasn't on the 1995 team if I recall correctly

Merkin Valdez is pitching for Las Vegas now.

It makes me happy I follow a sport where a man is named after a pubic wig.

Sorry, Pubic Wig and Oil Spill.

Free association.

Rob Johnson is hitting .133

The sun also came up today.

327 OBP though

It's true.

Thank god I've been drinking tonight ...

Or I might be extremely upset at the outcome of this game ….

Drinking solves everything.

Duh

Clearly it cannot solve this team being the worst in the MLB.

This must be tested

Get the team drunk too!

Jaejo - May 7, 2010 reply

Rob Johnson is hitting .133

C'mon Saunders

Michael Saunders is going to strike out or fly out

So close to action!

He pulled it!

Saunders Saunders Saunders!

You are the only thing I want to see!

Yours is the only thing I want to see

;)

Yay!

Saunders!!!

SAUNDERS!

Slurvey - May 7, 2010 reply

Alto - May 7, 2010 reply

Never send Saunders down.

RAINIERS BASEBALL!

Ooo, hey, Saunders is good too.

Tui is on fire

Tui is literally on fire and I sit here typing

Are other people helping?

Then its okay.

It's diffused responsibility.

This is the same as you killing him

I'm going to turn myself in

But who will run the website?

Gomez

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

You need to have a contest where someone could win a day of running this website.

Nobody wants that

Ahem

Nobody wants that.

Well I kind of do

Really? Are you sure?

I think you should have a hypothetical poll about it.

The poll would probably be more useful if it were real.

CapSea - May 7, 2010 reply

A literal poll?

Literally, a poll?

Jeff already tried that and it was simply fabulous

Robert - May 7, 2010 via mobile reply

What happened?

He'll burn down to a lean mean machine.

He’ll also be black.

Now that we got to their bullpen is gonna be an easy comeback

We're going to win since the recap post is already up on USSM

it will be a Dewey beats Truman situation.

Yeah I fuckin beat Truman everytime we play

Did a player produced by the Mariners farm system just get an extra base hit?

What the hell just happened.

And it's not even in High Desert

The crack of the bad and the crowd noise actually scared me I have been lulled so deeply

bat*

Scot Shields is looking old

Late to the party but

Where is Harry Doyle when you need him.

Drew_D - May 7, 2010 reply

It would be a good time for Michael Saunders to all of a sudden be awesome.

Stating the obvious but still any help we can get…

Scrupio - May 7, 2010 reply

What the fuck are you swinging at Ichiro?

Is anyone else using Chrome? If so, does the GT keep stalling?

Yes, no

Huh. I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.

Not for me.

Figgins should drive in this run.

Fuck Ichiro I rarely question you but what was that?

Shields and Figgins on Gameday have a nice guess-who-farted dynamic going on

I don't even care about the game anymore.

Michael Saunders FUCK YES

You just stopped caring?

You are my idol.

I also stayed at the stadium for the entire game last night.

And didn’t leave any of the games last weekend early.

In summary

I’m a fucking idiot

We rec'ed you pretty hard for it though.

Atta boy

Weaver's K/9 was less than 9

Victory!

I feel like punching a hole in a wall.

Why the fuck can’t we score just one fucking run.

yeah beat the shit out of your wall

FUCK YOU WALL

It's even funnier if said in a chinese accent

Stop making a scene you're embarrassing me in front of Michael Saunders...

Slurvey - May 7, 2010 reply

This is the final stage before reaching freedom!

Freedom from Hope. Freedom from Pride. Freedom from Joy!

You’re almost there my friend!

Doit2Julia time!

I seriously have to ask in this state of mind ...

Is this team fucking serious?

That last pop up by Figgins had me literally shaking with rage

I am so fed up with this.

Trade Lee for whoever you fucking can at this point.

Fuck these guys. They don’t deserve fans.

I kind of enjoyed it

He's so bad!

But his wOBA's still above .300 so he's one of our best hitters!

That doesn't sound healthy

Thats a good sign.

You’ve moved into the next stage of grief you are well on your way to acceptance of how awful this team is playing.

I was farther along yesterday!

I was generally accepting it. Now I’m just back to being pissed.

I can handle not winning

But come on. Take some pitches, foul a couple off, try to get on base, for the love of god do something besides flail and pop out softly.

That reminded me of an Eric Brynes AB

SEA

waldo rojas - May 7, 2010 reply

So much for Cy Young Felix this season huh?

At least the Snoqualmie commercials are here to stay

What's the mean on wOBA right now?

.336? Does it really change?

Not much

I want to hit this douchebag in the Snoqualmie commercial.

Right in his face.

The Snoqualmie Craps dealers...

Have hit in me in the junk numerous times.

BeerDrinking - May 7, 2010 reply

So, would the performance of our bullpen tonight encourage Wak to use someone other than Sean White?

I say no, because hope is fucking stupid.

Rally rally our batter's name is Casey

Now his name is Franklin

Clap clap clap clapclap

Nope. He sucks.

Kotchman's back to hitting grounders

since yesterday’s linedrives didn’t work

On the bright side, Doug is totally going to fist these guys tomorrow.

Too bad his name isn't Fistem though

2 fucking hits.

The game's not over yet!

Don't kid yourself.

Four walks though!

How does it end?

That's the spirit, sunshine

Griffey Grand Slam!

CapSea - May 7, 2010 reply

You're cute.

GRIFFSLAM

Grounder to second!

GIDP

You got it!

Too easy though

Rob Johnson isn't a league average hitter :(

He isn't? Aw nuts

How many league average hitters are on the team?

Great ending.

w00tah - May 7, 2010 reply

Felix docking with Hasselbeck to the beat of Lady Gaga couldnt even make this team interesting.
