That picture is 100% appropriate.
I feel so bad that Felix has to put up with this crap.

Nice of Loafie to show up today.
the other side - September 23, 2010
I don't even want to think about what happens when a person drinks Drano.
Janic - September 23, 2010
It probably dissolves your internal organs.
Coach Owens - September 23, 2010
Or clear them out.
Hopefully that’ll take care of any clog issues he may have been facing.
Charles Gipson - September 23, 2010
I think death is probably one of the listed side-effects.
the other side - September 23, 2010
And Felix makes his case for the Cy Youg stronger. He only gives up two hits, one
of which was a homerun (to the leader in that category), and throws his 6th CG.

You guys I don't think we're going to make the playoffs.
abender20 - September 23, 2010
Poor Felix, he doesn't deserve this.
Heydude - September 23, 2010
So, what would be best for Felix tonight?
CC gets his usual 5+runs of support and a win?
CC gets a Felix-type loss?
msb - September 23, 2010
Probably the run support and a win.
If he loses a close one it will be a “Gusty performance in a game with playoff implications played in the pressure cooker that is Yankee Stadium”.
KC Mariner - September 23, 2010
CC gets shelled for 13 runs and gets the win.
joof - September 23, 2010
NOOOOOO FELIX!
There are numbers you can call if you’re feeling blue.
Charles Gipson - September 23, 2010
Um
nice game story
msb - September 23, 2010
sigh.
Eric Koreen, National Post:
The Cy Young case goes like this: the New York Yankees’ ace, C.C. Sabathia, is the favourite. He leads the league in wins, with 20, and has a 3.05 earned run average to go along with that.
But Hernandez had the league’s lowest ERA entering the game (2.35) and the most strikeouts (222). It is not his fault — unless you count the fact that he re-signed with the team this off-season as a negative — that he is stuck with the woeful Mariners.
(A sample: on Thursday, the best Mariner batting average beyond Ichiro in the starting lineup was Josh Wilson’s .239; Jose Lopez and Justin Smoak share the home run lead with 10 apiece.)
Gaston, not surprisingly, thinks the award should go to Sabathia.
"Unfortunately, that’s baseball," Gaston said. "Wins are what everybody counts. Pitchers have to depend on guys playing defence for them, guys driving in runs for them. So there is a different way of looking at it. When they were little kids, they should have told them, ‘Hey, don’t be a pitcher.’"
msb - September 23, 2010
If you like winning don't pitch.
Good advice.
JY - September 23, 2010
This is by far the worst argument I have ever heard for anything, ever.
Does his last sentence NOT apply to both CC and Felix? Does he not think anyone should ever be a pitcher? This is not even remotely coherent.
HititHere - September 23, 2010
Love the vapor out of Felix's mouth
You can see the soul being sucked out of him
Bearskin Rugburn - September 23, 2010
The most depressing thing about this game was how all our hitting prospects looked awful.
I know, SSS and all, but it’s just … depressing.
EnglishMariner - September 23, 2010
Sitting a bit behind home plate...
(a very attainable luxury at the empty Rogers Centre) the prospects’ poor plate performance was all the more apparent. I admit that I made no attempt to look into Shawn Hill going into the game, but it didn’t look like his stuff was as deceptive as the team was making it appear up there. You think they’d take a page out of the Jays’ book and swing from their heels at anything thrown over the plate, especially in an environment where Jose Lopez can hit three dingers in a game. Bautista’s shot even seemed to carry barely over the fence with the wind.
It also made me realize how long it’s been since there was any real reason to be excited about a Mariners prospect at the plate – understandably as many were being immediately sent off in bad trades, but depressing nonetheless. I recognize the SSS here and hold out for more time to develop at the major league level, but even Smoak and Saunders didn’t give a threatening feeling when they came up to bat at any point today.
harrylime - September 23, 2010
Moore had two hits
Bearskin Rugburn - September 23, 2010
One of them really shouldn't have been a hit though and I didn't see the other
Dewey N - September 23, 2010
but it was a ground ball so it's not like he was driving the ball
Dewey N - September 23, 2010
Unless it was a hard hit ground bal lin which case he was
Bearskin Rugburn - September 23, 2010
This loss is exactly why Felix should win the Cy Young.
Wins are the worst stat ever.
ARock - September 23, 2010
2010 Mariner wholeheartedly agree!
Bearskin Rugburn - September 23, 2010
GOD FUCKING SHIT ASS POO DAMMIT YOU PIECES OF FUCKING SHIT
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
I love you Felix
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
chinn - September 23, 2010
Look who it is!
Coach Owens - September 23, 2010
Stupid early east coast games.
The game was already over before I noticed it had started. Really got to pay attention when the team is on those road trips east. But come on, 12:37EST on a Thursday? What’s the point of that?
quacker27 - September 23, 2010
It makes it easier not to watch
pdb - September 23, 2010
The thing is,
this was probably the most interesting game left on the schedule, as a Felix start, and with Ichiro reaching 200 hits. This season has given enough reasons not to watch that I was kind of looking forward to this one. I guess it’s all for the best since this game is frustrating enough without even having watched it.
quacker27 - September 23, 2010
Oh, Ichiro:
Coach Owens - September 23, 2010
And the obligatory "he is selfish" text comes into 710
msb - September 23, 2010
And despite the negativity surrounding him, Figgins now has the second-highest batting average on the team
at .258… sigh
NWade - September 23, 2010
Pretty awful sign
When your “prospects” or as I like to call them “future castoffs” get completely owned by a long reliever and a super shitty starter. Small sample size, but it is starting to slowly add up that we’ve got a bunch of busts.
I used to be able to find some humor in the situation, but after today, there’s nothing funny anymore.
Oh well it’s just a game.
FUCK!!!
cjhenry41 - September 23, 2010
Today?
Today was your breaking point?
Jeff Sullivan - September 23, 2010
Yeah fuck these guys going 0-for-4 and 1-for-4 at the plate.
Now Greg Dobbs, he was a champion from day one.
JY - September 23, 2010
We shall see.
