On Gil Meche, from the M's Notebook:
Uh huh.
The first inning tonight could take longer than the entire Washburn shutout a few days ago.
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Screw Felix day, tonight is Weaver v. Meche: two "men" enter, one "man" leaves.
Train Wreck Baseball at its finest.
Is it just me or is RR getting a hell
Good thing the national media took a break from our non-stop action to showcase a Yanks-Sox game today. I forget, where do they play?
It is, but they do great stuff over there so
It's good to see the Yanks and Sox

funk 'n' pucks
Still, I was sitting here watching the condensed game from last night, and it's all too apparent that the Funk Blast designation is not reserved for Richie Sexson. That considered, surely not every blast can really be a funk blast, right? I think if every Mariner blast is indeed a Funk Blast, there has to be a scale of funkiness. For instance, if Sexson or Beltre reaches the $7 seats in centerfield or hits Royal Brougham, that's a definite 10. If it's a fly ball that looks like a flyout off the bat but flies over the fence anyway, the Funk Quotient goes down. Funkiness could also be adjusted for the given situation during the game.
As for the Sens, an Ottawa/Buffalo series would just be out of control. It'd be the same two teams from the brawl earlier in the season, and every game would end with a score of 5-4 or thereabouts. Too bad Martin Biron isn't with the Sabres so he can come out and fight Ray Emery again.
And remember, kids, good things happen in overtime when you throw the puck into the net. If you're Jeff Cowan last night, you throw one onto the net and it squeezes in between J-S Giguere's right skate and the post. All hail Cowan the Brabarian! That clip's worth sitting through just to see Willie Mitchell's 63-inch (hockey) stick with the, ahem, debris on it.

We're not gonna need Morrow to close tonight.
Weaver is just part of Hargrove's plan
Except White's warming up.
Hargrove... plan? What was I thinking..
you can hear it in the annoucer's voice
Yeah no shit.
Now we're just missing a homer.
Let him give up the Slam and then bring Morrow in.
In Weaver's defense

The hockey game is closer than the ballgame.
Jesus, even Ichiro can't get a hit off Meche. I don't like where this is going.
Weaver might be on suicide watch, but I won't feel nice if Meche throws a complete-game three-hit shutout.
And with the D-Backs starting, I'm out.
I hope we pound Meche, but I doubt we will.
No one sitting next to Weaver.
Only reason Weaver has 7 K's in 11.1 IP

Scott Freaking Harriston
A great example of what a competent offense looks like. Carlos Quentin right before that, worked a 7 pitch walk. He layed off some close pitches than any non Turbo Mariner would of swung at.
Then Harriston shows when the right time to be aggressive. New reliever coming in, everybody knows he's throwing a fastball and he does right down broadway. Harriston swings and it's 5-4 D-Backs.
I think my son's Coach Pitch team
