I seriously forgot the Mariners were even playing today until I jumped on Twitter 20 minutes ago.
I guess that’s where I’m at!
Teej - June 10, 2010
I miss Thursday off days
It would appear that the Mariners took one anyway!
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
You probably didnt miss much.
I’m going to be honest I was avoiding checking to see how the Mariners did today. This was the last of the websites I check when I get home, when its normally the 2nd or 3rd. I knew with RRS struggling to get command with the ball there was no way we could have won.
I miss the Mariners, I was too young to remember the good years, but at least I have 2001.
LeftArrow2 - June 10, 2010
Lets just stop rebuilding the USS Mariner
It obviously wants to stay on the ocean floor.
OceanBird - June 10, 2010
HAUL IT TO THE SURFACE
RUMMAGE FOR GOODIES
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
KERMIIIIIIIT...?!
Fett42 - June 10, 2010
This ain't no salvage job!
Kermit. - June 10, 2010
The welds are bad, aren't they?
abender20 - June 10, 2010
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE?
abender20 - June 10, 2010
SEE WHAT BEING THE LOWEST BIDDER GETS YOU
Kermit. - June 10, 2010
Jeff, you've found that sixteen year olds boat.
Jack Swan - June 11, 2010
OH MY GOD
THERE IS A FLOOR!
Omerta - June 10, 2010
Just wait until it falls into the subduction zone
Crystal for DH - June 10, 2010
That's the cruel thing
There is no floor.
pdb - June 10, 2010
Seafloor is still floor
eponymous_coward - June 10, 2010
We're going to get attacked by a giant squid!
JY - June 10, 2010
Can the squid give better hugs than Sweendawg?
If so, make him our new DH.
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2010
On the bright side,
The Orioles won, and this puts the Angels another game back.
FairWeatherFred - June 10, 2010
Biggest contribution +3%
Kickass
Fett42 - June 10, 2010
We've had worse
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
I'm not sure if that makes me happy or sad
Fett42 - June 10, 2010
I Like Mike.
TrustBaseball - June 10, 2010
I think Guti lead the team with a +0.1% at Oakland earlier this year.
MFAN - June 10, 2010
I am glad I missed most of this shit for a delicious dinner.
the other side - June 10, 2010
If an un-injured Michael Saunders does not play 90% of the games from here on out
There will be consequences.
Manzanillos Cup - June 10, 2010
If he doesn't get all of the starts in LF, I'll help with the consequences. This is a no-brainer.
TrustBaseball - June 10, 2010
What's Wakamatsu's address?
Let’s send Robert.
JLProck - June 10, 2010
I have about 17 people to kill before I would ever consider hitting Wak.
Robert - June 10, 2010

Janic - June 10, 2010
Having missed the game can somebody please explain
.1 innings, 4 hits, 4 runs, 0 ER? That’s the most ridiculous line I’ve seen.
Kenneth Arthur - June 10, 2010
Like Matthew would say, just look it up.
Janic - June 10, 2010
I mean more like... how does something like that happen.
It’s ridiculous.
Kenneth Arthur - June 10, 2010

Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
The Howard Stern effect is in play here
i hate you all, yet I can’t stop reading.

Did you ever get your stash back by the way?
FairWeatherFred - June 10, 2010
Lookout Landing.
Come because we pissed you off. Stay because you just can’t get enough.
JLProck - June 10, 2010
Oh, Ryan.
@ hyphen18
Still have 100 games to go! Guys on this team are way better than what is happening! Just ran into a very hot team….
msb - June 10, 2010
Well it's not like he's wrong...
lailaihei - June 10, 2010
This is why he's a baseball player
And we are fans. I wouldn’t be tweeting happily after getting killed two straight nights. I would be depressed an not returning texts or phone calls.
E-Lizz - June 10, 2010
I think I'd be concerned about him if he started acting differently on twitter
“Still have 100 games to go! Wish I didn’t suck so much! I don’t know what I’m doing anymore and the team is imploding! Yikes!”
Gihyou - June 10, 2010
@hyphen18 RT @ozzieguillen I going to play the mega ball please god help me iam a good person very good person lol
CapSea - June 11, 2010
We gave up twelve runs and the game was over in 3 hours. Pretty impressive.
Didn’t see today’s game, but it sure does seem like this team isn’t trying anymore.
That’s fine with me. I’m a big believer in if you’re going to be bad, you should be really bad. Gotta work on that draft pick.
Rudy4three - June 10, 2010
We know they're trying
But I don’t see any life in this team when they’re on the field. It’s like they’re not totally into it while it’s happening.
E-Lizz - June 10, 2010
They look like they anticipate bad luck.
ignacio - June 10, 2010
Unfortunately, you often get what you expect.
TrustBaseball - June 10, 2010
Not that I blame them.
By the 3rd inning of the last two games the team had already given up 8 and 7 runs respectively. Although Game 2 featured sloppier play from defense, it has to be deflating to have to score 9 runs or more to have a chance. They’ve only done that TWICE this year.
ThundaPC - June 11, 2010
Well this was a fun filled few days
And RRS’s tweets honestly make this worse.
E-Lizz - June 10, 2010
We get to play the National League next!
It should be fun to watch our pitchers hit.
killer_ewok18 - June 10, 2010
Upgrade!
Faux - June 10, 2010
Well, Figgins probably won't have to bat 9th.
ignacio - June 10, 2010
Felix dinger time!
I Lick Squirrels - June 10, 2010
Apparently Vargas is good with the bat
aussie_chop - June 10, 2010
Vargas better not be anywhere near a bat.
TrustBaseball - June 10, 2010
I bet he can't wait to get into the box
Nick S - June 11, 2010
Wouldn't that be something to see the pitchers lead the team in hitting during that stretch.
jbpalm - June 11, 2010
Well, it wouldn't be surprising
d0nkey - June 11, 2010
The guy on the postgame show right now sounds like someone from Chatterbox (GTA3).
He wants Jack gone already.
chezbergrur - June 10, 2010
I had the opportunity to hear that guy.
Apparently everyone but Cliff Lee sucks.
JLProck - June 10, 2010
So what's below the Tropic of Cairo
aussie_chop - June 10, 2010
The Tropic of Rene Rivera, maybe?
Corco - June 10, 2010
Remember when Quinton McCracken was a Mariner?
OceanBird - June 10, 2010
We barely knew you, Greg Colbrunn :(
Corco - June 10, 2010
I don't think you understand what "Tropic of Cairo" means
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
A tropic is an arbitrary circle of latitude
So unless the Tropic of Cairo is 0 degrees south, there can easily be a tropic of any other arbitrary name below it.
That said, one can state with near-certainty that the South Pole is below the Tropic of Cairo
Corco - June 10, 2010
And the assumption that something worse than Cairo is below the Tropic of Cairo is discriminatory towards the Southern hemisphere
The Tropic of Ichiro could easily be below the Tropic of Cairo as well
Corco - June 10, 2010
You people are killing another joke
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010

Aaron Campeau - June 10, 2010
Can we talk about Eli Whiteside now?

I can't believe you have made it into the best 10% of commenters on the site
But kudos!

Teej - June 10, 2010
I have a fantasy that you have this all charted out in a spreadsheet and update it weekly.
Eyebrows - June 11, 2010
The deciding factor is people I have rec'd more than once over a two-week period
Jeff Sullivan - June 11, 2010
Well poop.

Matthew - June 11, 2010
I guess this one is just over my head because I have absolutely no idea what you mean
Corco - June 10, 2010
Unbelievable
Poochie - June 10, 2010
Goodness, Corco. Get ahold of yourself, man.
abender20 - June 10, 2010
I'm a geography major and obsessive
And the word “tropic” is being misused on this blog- especially the notion that being below a tropic is somehow worse than being above the tropic
Corco - June 10, 2010
Stare at this again
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
Well now I feel stupid
Corco - June 10, 2010
At least I enjoyed your position on it
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
You're a pretty literal guy.
abender20 - June 10, 2010
In fairness that is a very abstract, although legitimate use of the term "tropic"
Corco - June 10, 2010
*90 degrees south
Corco - June 10, 2010
Funny you should mention that because he's my starting catcher on my Mariner team for MLB 2K7 on Xbox
He’s hitting like .250, but he’ll go 0 for 21 then get on ass crazy 8 for 10 streaks over 2 or 3 games. This is what my life has become- playing MLB 2K7 at night instead of watching the Mariners play. And in my fantasy land Rene Rivera is a better catcher than anyone the Mariners currently have.
RustyJohn - June 10, 2010
This is very uninteresting

It is about your fantasy or imaginary teams that no one in fact cares

The Sea of Sexson?
Benne - June 10, 2010
I don't think you understand what "Tropic of Cairo" means
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
It means "let's beat a lovely little joke into the ground"

Which is different from every other LL meme how?
eponymous_coward - June 11, 2010

I find this interesting.
Marcus Thames and Gary Sheffield were both on the Detroit Tigers a couple of years ago. Thames River is a river in England and Sheffield is a city in England. I know this doesn’t really relate but I had to put it somewhere.

If you're gonna hang a poster, make sure you hang 'em high

Brilliant.

One little letter and it would be so perfect

Time for the "What can we get for Lee?" post
Justin Pieper - June 10, 2010
Ron Washington believe that we're not out of the race and that we'll be heard from at some point
this season.
Fucking moron.
Rudy4three - June 10, 2010
He was high when he said that.
RustyJohn - June 10, 2010
"The Mariners are cooked and we plan to overlook them in the future"
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
That would have been an excellent quote
Rudy4three - June 10, 2010
It's possible!

Maybe he was misquoted;
We do have a lot of race on our team.

News from Tacoma:
It’s a shame I don’t even feel up to ironically shouting “PLAYOFFS!” anymore.
JY - June 10, 2010
Are the fences even 300' in Tacoma?
d0nkey - June 11, 2010
Cheney is a known pitchers park?
Its factor is 84 of 100 on home runs.
JY - June 11, 2010
So Dr. Whats-His-Name is going to have a hard time selling his new sports strength training program using the Mariners as an example
Fett42 - June 10, 2010
This is all his fault
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
No I think its clear that some Mariners fan(s), somewhere, somehow racked up some incredibly bad karma
I mean some really dark shit must have gone down.
Fett42 - June 10, 2010
What kind of dark shit
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
More like dank shit
what what
Jeff Sullivan - June 10, 2010
But dank shit wouldn't result in bad karma
Reno Polyester - June 10, 2010
Fucking up the rotation is a party foul. It must be like that.

Eric Byrnes isn't a Mariners fan
Griffin Cooper - June 10, 2010
For the eighth time in the last three days
It was only mandatory for the minor leaguers, and optional for the major leaguers, most of whom said “this is weird, fuck it, I’ll do what I’ve always done.”
JY - June 10, 2010
They can be the guys they show in black and white on the infomercial
killer_ewok18 - June 10, 2010
It's had substantial returns on the minor league level.
JY - June 10, 2010
Case in point,
a lot of our AAA players that have outperformed our MLB players
killer_ewok18 - June 10, 2010
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANDATORY EVERYWHERE

YEAH FUCK HIM WHY DIDN'T HE MAKE IT MANDATORY
Slurvey - June 10, 2010
"See, I've got it right here in my contract. It says, 'I don't have to do any calisthenics that I don't feel are necessary.' So what do you think about that?"

Huh.
I didn’t realized that we have the second worst record in baseball.

The Orioles are so goddamned terrible, though.

They have Wieters and Tillman and others.
We need something good too.

Tied with Pittsburgh for second worst.
