"Oh yeah. Grr"

Perfect way to sum up that game.

Kotchman should share the - wpa with Meals.

Half assing it around the bases like that has no defense. I drank a half rack in celebration the day Rojo was sent down. The day I never have to see Kotchman in an M’s uniform again I may just go out and buy a keg.

Dude, Kotchman is slow as hell.

Could he have made it home? Maybe, but still I’m glad he played it safe (after getting thrown out multiple times over the year)

What did Meals do?

On running

Why can’t Lopez or Kotchman run? It would seem that someone could become a competent runner. Not necessarily with Ben Johnson speed. But perhaps they could run enough sprints of varying distances (90 and/or 180 feet for example) to not look like total jackasses. Maybe the Mariners could rent that Prefontaine movie with Billy Crudup and Donald Sutherland in it to see how people lift their legs and place them forward at a regular stride and such. Or maybe they could just wait until it is “Kids Run the Bases” day at Safeco and watch three year olds run. Fuck, even a three year old can run. Why can’t Lopez or Kotchman. Fuck, even Forrest Gump ran. And he was retarded.
