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!

I miss Thursday off days

It would appear that the Mariners took one anyway!

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.

Lets just stop rebuilding the USS Mariner

It obviously wants to stay on the ocean floor.

HAUL IT TO THE SURFACE

RUMMAGE FOR GOODIES

KERMIIIIIIIT...?!
This ain't no salvage job!
The welds are bad, aren't they?
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE?
SEE WHAT BEING THE LOWEST BIDDER GETS YOU
Jeff, you've found that sixteen year olds boat.
OH MY GOD

THERE IS A FLOOR!

Just wait until it falls into the subduction zone
That's the cruel thing

There is no floor.

Seafloor is still floor
We're going to get attacked by a giant squid!
Can the squid give better hugs than Sweendawg?

If so, make him our new DH.

On the bright side,

The Orioles won, and this puts the Angels another game back.

Biggest contribution +3%

Kickass

We've had worse
I'm not sure if that makes me happy or sad
I think Guti lead the team with a +0.1% at Oakland earlier this year.
I am glad I missed most of this shit for a delicious dinner.
If an un-injured Michael Saunders does not play 90% of the games from here on out

There will be consequences.

If he doesn't get all of the starts in LF, I'll help with the consequences. This is a no-brainer.
What's Wakamatsu's address?

Let’s send Robert.

I have about 17 people to kill before I would ever consider hitting Wak.
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.

Like Matthew would say, just look it up.
I mean more like... how does something like that happen.

It’s ridiculous.

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?
Lookout Landing.

Come because we pissed you off. Stay because you just can’t get enough.

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….

Well it's not like he's wrong...
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.

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!”

@hyphen18 RT @ozzieguillen I going to play the mega ball please god help me iam a good person very good person lol
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.

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.

They look like they anticipate bad luck.
Unfortunately, you often get what you expect.
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.

Well this was a fun filled few days

And RRS’s tweets honestly make this worse.

We get to play the National League next!

It should be fun to watch our pitchers hit.

Well, Figgins probably won't have to bat 9th.
Felix dinger time!
Apparently Vargas is good with the bat
Vargas better not be anywhere near a bat.
I bet he can't wait to get into the box
Wouldn't that be something to see the pitchers lead the team in hitting during that stretch.
Well, it wouldn't be surprising
The guy on the postgame show right now sounds like someone from Chatterbox (GTA3).

He wants Jack gone already.

I had the opportunity to hear that guy.

Apparently everyone but Cliff Lee sucks.

So what's below the Tropic of Cairo
The Tropic of Rene Rivera, maybe?
Remember when Quinton McCracken was a Mariner?
We barely knew you, Greg Colbrunn :(
I don't think you understand what "Tropic of Cairo" means
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

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

You people are killing another joke
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!

I have a fantasy that you have this all charted out in a spreadsheet and update it weekly.
The deciding factor is people I have rec'd more than once over a two-week period
Well poop.
LL Stock Exchange
I guess this one is just over my head because I have absolutely no idea what you mean
Unbelievable
Goodness, Corco. Get ahold of yourself, man.
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

Stare at this again

Well now I feel stupid
At least I enjoyed your position on it
You're a pretty literal guy.
In fairness that is a very abstract, although legitimate use of the term "tropic"
*90 degrees south
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.

It is about your fantasy or imaginary teams that no one in fact cares
The Islet of Bloomquist
Or maybe

this.

But Langerhans is fun.
I don't think you understand what "Tropic of Cairo" means
The Sea of Sexson?
I don't think you understand what "Tropic of Cairo" means
It means "let's beat a lovely little joke into the ground"
Which is different from every other LL meme how?
I retain hope that one small green shoot will emerge from the concrete
There is no floor.
A Tree Grows in BrookLLyn
We have preserved a select few of them
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.

Mariners Trench
A rut so deep you could hang posters.
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
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.

He was high when he said that.
"The Mariners are cooked and we plan to overlook them in the future"
That would have been an excellent quote
It's possible!

8/29/2007

“I think this series probably put in their head that they have to worry about the wild card, not the division,” the Angels’ Orlando Cabrera said after he went 2-for-5 and scored twice. “[We’re] just leaving no doubt we’re a better team at this moment.”
“With them on the road and us at home, we’re looking pretty good right now,” said Weaver (10-6), who allowed seven hits, all singles, in eight innings while walking none and striking out five.
Maybe he was misquoted;

We do have a lot of race on our team.

News from Tacoma:
  • Jack Wilson was 1-for-2 with a HOME RUN. Try not playing that, Wak.
  • Adam Moore was 1-for-2 with hey no passed balls.

It’s a shame I don’t even feel up to ironically shouting “PLAYOFFS!” anymore.

Are the fences even 300' in Tacoma?
Cheney is a known pitchers park?

Its factor is 84 of 100 on home runs.

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
This is all his fault
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.

What kind of dark shit
More like dank shit

what what

But dank shit wouldn't result in bad karma
Fucking up the rotation is a party foul. It must be like that.
One man's dank is another man's tree in the front yard lit on fire
Eric Byrnes isn't a Mariners fan
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.”

They can be the guys they show in black and white on the infomercial
It's had substantial returns on the minor league level.
Case in point,

a lot of our AAA players that have outperformed our MLB players

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANDATORY EVERYWHERE
YEAH FUCK HIM WHY DIDN'T HE MAKE IT MANDATORY
"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.

Cue Rendonmania?
The Orioles are so goddamned terrible, though.
They have Wieters and Tillman and others.

We need something good too.

Correction

Tied with Pittsburgh for second worst.

So long, Mariners, see you after the World Cup

Thanks for sending me out on a note of “yep, we don’t give a damn either!”
