And I had a few things to say about last night.  I'm only half serious, so don't get too upset.

They've showed it a dozen times the last week or so.

LOU!!!!

ahahahahaha

We'll take the double.

Damn you Beltre.

Awsome.

In fact, I'm gonna stop by Subway.

BOOOOORRRRIIINNNNNGGGG!!

I blame Willie...and Hargrove.

And hey, at least we're not 1-5 like some other team in this division.

BIG BIG BIG ovation for Lou.  If Bavasi was somehow able to bring Lou back (won't happen; Lou lives in Tampa and loves it), he would be a hero for life.  Lou is still considered holy in Seattle.

Met Deanna and the other attendees for the Book Club meeting, which digressed into other interesting topics, though the book du jour, Out Of Left Field by Art Thiel, was a good retrospective on the organization's beleaguered past and I recommend it for anyone into the Mariners and not as familiar with their history under George Argyros and Jeff Smulyan.

SUPERSTITION NOTICE: I think my purchase of CF bleacher tickets are bad luck for the organization.  Now that I think of it, I don't think the Mariners have won a single game where I was sitting in the CF bleachers dating back to 2005.  I almost don't want to go tomorrow.  Go figure I watch Tuesday's game from View Reserved, listen on the radio, they start hot, but then I take a seat over CF and suddenly they can't hit.

Moyer was Moyer and about what I expected, despite his belabored warm up tosses.  Unfortunately, the offense didn't show up to back up their end of the bargain.  We were a Mark Kotsay catch from being no hit.  My one solace: Kiko Calero is on my fantasy team, and provided 1.2 IP of some ERA and WHIP slimming power (not that it helps at this point; my pitchers, save for Dave Bush (VALUE PICK), have gotten shelled.  THANKS to Julio Mateo for those 6 walks).  Oh, and THANKS to Kevin Millwood for getting lit up again.  Would the Postseason Beards like me to brown bag that fantasy baseball league win?

There are so many more drunken assholes at Safeco than I saw last year.  At least I got to sit with a crew of funny ones.  It's always better when you're stuck with funny drunken assholes, especially when you get nearly no-hit by the A's.  If it seemed quiet on the tube, that's because the CF bleachers aren't miked.

Bench Adrian, bat him 9th, send him to Tacoma for a week, DO SOMETHING to shake him the fuck up, because his performance is now starting to piss me off.

Zito plunked two guys to produce our only rally, meaning Zito got more hits than our entire lineup.

I'm glad we helped Zito get back on track.  WAIT, no I'm not.

Speaking of which, whoever predicted "Richie Sexson, 1-4, Kotsay aided 2B", you're tonight's lucky winner.

Oh, speaking of Kotsay, his home run off Jamie?  We knew it was gone right off the bat.  The only question was where it would land.

The big screen, when a Mariner comes to bat, shows a favorite something of that particular hitter: Raul Ibanez's favorite road city, Reed's favorite actress, etc.  Someone should ask Carl Everett what his favorite dinosaur is.

Mariners get Sexson on 3rd, no outs... don't score.  Film at 11.

Maybe the M's spontaneously decided to try to get Grover fired.

Jawing with rljaws in this thread might have been more fun than watching tonight's game in person.
