WILSON and wilson.
Seems to effectively clear that up.
Floyd Gondoli - June 24, 2010
Oh fiddlesnacks. The Cubs have discovered our weakness.
ThundaPC - June 24, 2010
Wow... our lineup was ridiculously terrible today.
Even though wilson had a terrible day at the plate, I was impressed by his play at 1B. He made several fairly difficult plays.
wyte_lightning - June 24, 2010
He's a SS, he should look good there
Jose Lopez looked good there last year too.

Marinerfanjake - June 24, 2010
Wow, -104.2% by lineup...
joey90 - June 24, 2010
I'm always amazed
At how so many of these close losses are (partially) due to gross mismanagement of resources. Josh Wilson facing Carlos Marmel? Sean White getting high leverage innings? How many times are we gonna do this bullshit?
TheBishop - June 24, 2010 via mobile
I think it's fairly obvious, Wak.
SEAN WHITE BLOWS!
MikeCarp'sNose - June 24, 2010
That was a bad performence from our line up.
At least Felix pitched well
beastwarking - June 24, 2010
So the lineup effectively lost two games.
I Lick Squirrels - June 24, 2010
The great 2 for 1 deal
Marinerfanjake - June 24, 2010
How is repeatedly bringing in Sean White not grounds for firing?
This isn’t the crux of the argument for his firing but Wakamatsu repeatedly bringing in the team’s worst player not named ‘Rob Johnson’ to hold games in the balance provides a nice and tidy summary of why he isn’t capable of in-game management. If the team were to let him go at the end of the season, or sooner, I’d have no second thoughts about it.
hova9 - June 24, 2010
What is that a picture of?
Cubs are reclining on the bed and the Mariners are eating Chinese food, and the game is in a treasure chest?
The Awesomest - June 24, 2010
It is a very sloppy way of saying no one wanted to take the game
Jeff Sullivan - June 24, 2010
The M's should put the game behind them?
While the Cubs are enjoying contemplating how lovely it is?
Or maybe it represents the M’s letting the Cubs have this one.
short - June 24, 2010
The Cubs stick figure clearly is waiting for a blowjob
lemonverbena - June 25, 2010
The Cubs stick figure is clearly Carlos Silva in his own fantasy land
He’s skinny, has plentiful chinese food, and is about to get a BJ… all in the presence of an important M’s game he doesn’t give a shit about.
HititHere - June 25, 2010
So much for our playoff bid
Poochie - June 24, 2010 via mobile
Not sending up Langerhans for Wilson v. Marmol is a criminal offense
Poochie - June 24, 2010 via mobile
We still have langerhans?
Marinerfanjake - June 24, 2010
Wak is hereby charged with ciminal negligence.
wyte_lightning - June 24, 2010
*Criminal
wyte_lightning - June 24, 2010
I predict one day a headline will read "Done Wakamatsu"
Kenneth Arthur - June 24, 2010
Fuck Cubs fans.
Robert - June 24, 2010
As I said walking out of the game, when the Mariners are good opposing fans never take over
the stadium. So fuck the Mariners for sucking because I am tired of going to games and being outnumbered by the opposing fans.
Sec 108 - June 25, 2010
This was beyond outnumbered
This was a full-on takeover, and it was unbelievable. But yeah, if the M’s are a good team this doesn’t happen.
pdb - June 25, 2010
I hate Sean White so fucking much
But Wak continues to go to him. And seriously, use Langerhans as a PH against Marmol you fuckface Wak.
aussie_chop - June 24, 2010
I couldn't see the game.
Was stupid Rob Johnson responsible for Felix’s wild pitch?
Thurston24 - June 24, 2010 via mobile
Yes
Snuffleupagus - June 24, 2010
Figured as much
I couldn’t watch but had Gamecast on my computer while in a meeting and when I saw “Wild Pitch” pop up on Gamecast I reflexively yelled, “Fuck you, Rob Johnson, you cocksucker” in the middle of the meeting.
Maybe Felix likes Rob as his catcher because it is more challenging for him…kind of leveling the playing field when you know your catcher will allow the runner to advance in a key situation every game. When does Bard come back?
RustyJohn - June 24, 2010
Kind of
Jeff Sullivan - June 24, 2010
That pitch wasn't terrible hard to block though.
He knew what was coming and failed to get in front of it with more than part of this right leg. Pretty sad attempt at his job if you ask me.
Kirk - June 24, 2010
And just like that I feel better about the imminent Cliff Lee trade
we don’t deserve him.
Snuffleupagus - June 24, 2010
Seattle sports fans deserve all good things to happen and great players to stay
Regardless of any current malaise/mismanagement.
lemonverbena - June 25, 2010
The fans aren't responsible for bringing in the White Flag
Nor are we responsible for going 3 – 16 with RISP.
HititHere - June 25, 2010
I wonder is Sean White and Rick White may be related some how.
Fin - June 24, 2010
Wow, fuck Rick White
I cannot believe he only pitched in 6 games for us that season. To me it seemed like he was going to make damn sure we weren’t going to make the playoffs that year.
OceanBird - June 24, 2010
Why are we so angry about the usage of Sean White?
Just to be clear, I don’t like White. As the manager’s terrible faux-groundballer security blanket, he’s Wak’s Julio Mateo. Which, obviously, isn’t good and makes him easy to hate.
But what’s the gripe in this specific instance? Wak had already used his two relief aces, Aardsma and League, in earlier high-leverage situations. He even used Olson ahead of White. Is the complaint that he didn’t leave those guys in long enough? Is it that Kelley would have been such better option that the White choice was an outright blunder rather than a debatable choice that turned out badly? Or is it just that we’re venting because we’re frustrated about a season in which nearly everything has gone wrong and we’re probably about to lose Cliff Lee?
Please help me understand so I can generate the appropriate level of outrage.
Chris Hafner - June 24, 2010
Among other reasons, Kelley being available makes it a bad decision yes.
Jeff Nye - June 24, 2010
Thanks.
That was my guess, but I wanted to make sure I understood before generating some righteous indignation.
Chris Hafner - June 24, 2010
In my view it was that White sucks and literally anyone else would have been better.
Putting Olson out there for two batters when he’s our only real long reliever was retarded, even if he is a lefty.
Somewhat unrelated, but boy, what an impact Brian Sweeney has made.
Mariner John - June 24, 2010
Part of the frustration is that White is even on the team
White has an xFIP of almost 6. And he keeps getting put in ground ball situations, when he clearly is not actually a ground ball pitcher. He has walked twice as many batters as he has struck out this season. (5:10 K:BB).
Meanwhile, we cut Kanekoa Texeira (xFIP of 4.39, 22:14 K:BB and pitching well for the Royals) and even Jesus Colome’s FIP is half a run better than White’s, with much better K:BB numbers.
Since Kelley was unavailable yesterday I (halfway) understand going to White after Olson was already burned (which was dumb). But the fact that White keeps getting opportunities at all is idiotic.
HititHere - June 25, 2010
Random question...
I blew up my wrist on Tuesday and looks like I need surgery. I’m researching my surgeon and it looks like he worked on Rob “PB” Johnson this offseason. I can’t decide if this a pro or a con for my treatment.
:)
doublemazaa - June 24, 2010
PBJ?
joey90 - June 24, 2010
Maybe you should put this in the off-topic, as more people who might know something about it would see it there.
Decatur - June 24, 2010
Dear Cliff Lee fans
Philly still likes him more
Robert - June 24, 2010
SSS
bamfor - June 24, 2010
I suppose it's probably worse for them
Poochie - June 25, 2010
What with the World Series title and all
Matthew - June 25, 2010
They got it before he even came there
Poochie - June 25, 2010
The City of Brotherly Love can kiss my ass
lemonverbena - June 25, 2010
That game does not stand alone in this regard, but if any game represents the first three
months of the 2010 season it was that one.
