So what does this mean for Wak?
How would any of us have any idea?

Something. It means something.

I meant purely on the speculation side of things.
I get the sense that Jeff doesn't think there's much value in speculating about that.
How would you have any idea?

Something. He thinks something.

Assuming Wak benched Figgins for the bad play at second

I think benching Figgins mid-game was the kind of snap decision Wak may come to regret. Given all the crappy plays M’s players have made recently, it just smacks of singling a guy out. First of all…he needs to hear Figgins’ side of the story. Then, if what he hears isn’t satisfactory, he may choose to give him a day off.

Chone may not like it but at least nobody ends up with Russell Branyan’s foot up their ass. Or, more importanly, with a lot of embarrassing questions from the media. I really think this doesn’t reflect well on the manager. But what Z thinks of it…who knows?

Baker says Z isn't happy.
Really?

I thought Jack Z would be overjoyed. I mean, rubbing his hands going “WHOO HOO! I’ve got a bunch of people we’ve invested a lot of money in that are 23 games under .500, hitting like they should be on the roster in Tacoma, showed the collective IQ slightly lower than a baseball this week, and now they are getting into fights! Man, it don’t git no better ’n this!”

What would Figgins's side of the story be?
Perhaps he did not see the ball.

This excuse would also help to justify his average plate appearance this season.

There was a difference in what Figgins did (or didn't do)...

Figgins didn’t “hustle” after the ball, he just let it go by without attempting to retrieve it. Just stood there and watched. The baserunning mistakes were brain farts, but weren’t lazy, they just were not attentive. I think that’s the difference in Wak’s eyes. I love that Figgins got benched but wish Wak would’ve at least done the same to Lopez because his “error” was more egregious.

I thought you would be the expert on it, Mr. Mariner Melee
More Hot Pockets!
Great graphic. This game was all kinds of f#$%@ed.
You know, I really do think Milton Bradley's counseling sessions are working like a charm!
I'd like to see Lopez wearing Andy Capp's cap.
That was quite the kerfluffle
Now on pace for about 536 runs.

Which is kinda low.

Justin Smoak had his first walk tonight. Progress!
Whoa Branyan quotes are amazing. There is so much composure.
Is this like the time when Adrian Beltre picked Ryan Franklin up by the throat, slammed him against the wall, and threatened to kill him?

Because that was awesome.

I want to buy a Bryanan tee shirt.
MRINERS
This was back when I thought that he had strangled Lopez.
