From an article on Mariners.com:
Bill Bloomquist: consummate failure.
With Adam Everett's injury ruining their team defense, the Astros officially don't have any strengths, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that retarded porch in left field is going to give Felix all kinds of trouble tonight. Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence are physically incapable of hitting on the road, but fortunately for them they don't have to worry about that today, now do they?

Mediocre Felix Day!
by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Jun 15, 2007 1:20 PM PDT reply actions
With that porch, we might even see a true Willie
And no, I'm not kidding. I could hit a homerun out of the crawford boxes.
this in one stadium
Richie should hit a few out this series
Ibanez will if he keeps up that oppo swing
Betancourt and Lopez will too
Ichiro seems to have deep fly ball power to LF these days, so maybe he'll get his first opposite field HR here.
Felix might hit one out if he makes contact.
seriously, its ridiculous that they get to play in this place, while the mariners have to play in a park where you need to hit a bomb to get HR, haha.
Don't forget Johjima
He'll rock a few out
I think he'll be the best player in the series.
I just forgot about him, haha.
Fun fact (that I've mentioned before):
415 feet, i.e. far up in the first section of Safeco's LF box seats.
I don't know whats better

Relax.
Nobody here actually hates any of our players. The fact is, Willie does get too much attention. Vidro is fat. Vidro is slow. Vidro is a bad DH. Vidro is miscast as a contributing everyday player. Vidro is a problem in the lineup. There's nothing wrong with pointing this kind of stuff out, considering we're all still rooting for the guys to succeed.

Madritsch Facing Surgery
Results from an MRI indicate Goldeyes starter Bobby Madritsch will need surgery.
Madritsch dislocated his left shoulder last Sunday while pitching in St. Paul. He was examined and released that day from Regions Hospital in St. Paul and further examined this week in Winnipeg. He underwent an MRI that revealed he had torn his labrum....
Damn, man. Damn.
Makes me so sad.
I really rooted for him to succeed.
Hmmm.
by PositivePaul on Jun 15, 2007 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions
Hmmm
Too bad, I really liked him for a couple of weeks.
that really sucks
My friend had that surgery 2 years ago.
Now this is a great story
Well, that's going to change next month.
The 35-year-old Burke, who is batting .421 (16-for-38) as Kenji Johjima's backup, spent part of his Wednesday with representatives from Upper Deck, the company that's producing the card, which will become available to the public in July.
"I'm excited about it, just because I grew up collecting baseball cards," Burke said. "I have a lot of 'em, including Mark McGwire's rookie card. Having my own is going to be pretty neat."
Ha
Good for him. A lot of guys play forever and never get that far.
My first reaction
My first reaction
My first reaction
Remember, he spent most of his
Heheh
I wonder how hard it'll be to actually get one of the Burke cards though. Pat Neshek can't even seem to get all of his own cards...
Has it been mentioned...
How about that the players had a team meeting to vote on whether they would accept Julio Mateo back? Isn't that vote supposed to be by his wife, and it has to be unanimous? I can just see Bavasi now "Hey guys, I have a chance to sign Barry Bonds and it won't cost us a cent more than we're paying now. I know he could really help the team win some games and all, but what do you guys think? 'Cause I won't do it unless you say it's ok."
Sorry if I didn't see these topics elsewhere. Call me lazy!

Seriously, the Astros aren't doing shit this year, let Biggio have his 3000 hits for gods sakes.
USSM is absolutely ridiculous now.
USSM wasn't terrible then, but its so hilariously fun here that I needed to stay, haha.
Same here.
People there seem cranky.
They need to take down comments
I'd hate to see the USSM comments go...
It comes with the territory...
Imagine if Dave and DMZ weren't so quick with the comments sledgehammer. They get a lot of flack for being so 'rude' and 'elitist' for doing just that, and for calling people out who are saying stupid stuff. But it's their blog, and they're doing their darndest to keep as big a lid on the crap as they can. We should all be thankful that they're as patient as they are, and don't go back to the old days of no-comments. There's still a fair bit of value in the comments, so I'd hate to see them gone all together. It's a tough balance to maintain, though...

Well
Also, huh, you unbanned them? Interesting. You're a much nicer person than I am.
I thought I ran across a comment from them,
It's a problem
It's getting difficult to have any reasoned discourse on their threads.
I just don't read or write comments anymore.
Which I guess is sort of a shame, since I used to feel semi-useful over there, but I dunno, I read a new post, then I see "140 comments" and I think "Hmm... I'm probably not going to add anything to the firmament of discussion anyway..." and don't bother clicking.
(prospect/Future40 posts aside, of course)
It makes me a little sad though. On the other hand, these days if I really wanted to talk to Derek or Dave or Jeff I'd probably want to ask about bikes or cameras or Japan or something anyway, not baseball, so it's just as well.
Ha
And yes, I'm not gonna jump headfirst into the next Future Forty thread. I don't want Dave to worry every time that he make a FF post that I'm gonna jump in and raise some sort of hell. I don't participate on Mariners blogs to raise hell (in fact, I read them to get away from that sort of stuff) and I'm trying to take it easier and be more diplomatic at this point.
Yeah, I don't read all the posts at USSM either.
LL is just so much more user friendly with threads easily being able to go off topic without ruining the rest of the conversation on the thread that I find myself reading way more posts than I originally intend to.

Ah, a mod queue?
If they weren't already so busy, I'd recommend moderating all comments.
Yea a Mod Queue
I would give a few commenters moderating positions w/o the ability to post actual stories. Make everybody "junior members" and have them prove themselves before they are allowed to move out of the Queue.
They'd probably have to charge
It's got to be extremely frustrating that people always are ripping on them and saying they aren't M's fans. Why else would they go through so much effort if they didn't love the team as much - if not more - than people who read it?
Those accusations are ludicrous
C'mon, they read, write about and watch the Mariners everyday. How they can not be huge diehard fans?
The cult of positive people
They act like if you aren't a Positive Polly just like they are, you aren't a good fan or an idiot. They want you to join their Positive Cult, or be damned to the hell of negativity.

I sort of thought that maybe having some people there who would be pre-approved to comment would work too, except we have these two rabid Hanshin Tigers fans who are both knowledgeable and great guys, EXCEPT when talking to each other, then it becomes all bickering and yelling and ballooning out of control :)
Mod points and post scores.
Of course, feasibility is certainly a question.
It's even getting to the point
The comments just need to go away on that site, to be honest.

heheh, totally
I think it'd be funny
This is pretty much how I feel about USSM
I still really enjoy reading their posts, and I check out the comments (mostly looking for Dave's responses), but it does seem to have become a bit jaded over there.
But as someone said earlier, USSM and LL are really to dramatically different sites, even if they share some of the same members.
Which is weird

That Bloomquist article is pretty sad
It's that hard-headedness that still doesn't allow Willie to accept his role as a utility player.
"It eats me alive," Willie said.
Does it really bother him that much? I've always thought of Willie's desire to play full time as being being pretty normal. We all like promotions and we'd all like more recognition for the work we do. But if really eats him alive, and causes him that much grief, that's worrisome.

And, no, King Obvious, the Red, Felix does NOT need to be more aggressive against this 'weak' offense. As has been shown time and time again, even weak, borderline MLBers can hit Felix's fastball...
And, no, Mr. Brillkreme Kreuger, Felix shouldn't necessarily cut down his repertoire to three pitches. He needs to change it, however, to focus on three pitches: curveball, 2-seamer, change. The 4-seamer is the last pitch he should throw...

Did anybody see Dave's notes
"I mentioned that Dan Fox was doing some really cool work with the advanced gameday data from MLB.com, and that he was going to have some great stuff about Felix shortly. The article I was referring to was published at BP yesterday. If you're a subscriber, it's required reading. If you're not, here's the basic summary - everything we've said in the Charting Felix series is demonstrably true, and Felix's velocity and movement is significantly down from his opening day start against the A's. The pitches just aren't breaking like they did in his first start, and he's not throwing as hard. It's something to be concerned about, honestly."

These announcers are just throwing out cliches
I hate regression.
Dave on USSM:
The four seam fastball is 94-96. He's topped out at 97 once, but the velocity is clearly down. The two-seamer is 91-94. The slider is 88-90 and has no bite to it. He can't get the change-up down in the zone, and he's thrown that mysterious meatball pitch that Sledge hammered last game a couple of times.
The stuff is still way better than an average pitcher, but it's not as good as we're used to seeing Felix's stuff be. And he's not getting anything extra on his stuff when he needs to, so I'm not buying the coasting argument tonight. He got Luke Scott 0-2 and couldn't put him away.
If he's pitching through pain and hurts his arm, we're screwed. And this version of Felix isn't that great anyways."

This is thoroughly embarrassing.
All of his starts since he came back

Jeff, you neeed to do a video analysis on Felix
I don't think I'd find anything.
Oh, and, y'know, all the bad pitch selection. Don't need video to see that.

Maybe, but,
I think that's better suited for Enhanced Gameday
Felix's stuff tonight was as bad as it's been all year, though. That much is certain.

Hmmmmm
I was just thinking if we could look at the Boston tape, and then see how his breaking balls and FB compare now.
I'm just not seeing the movement.
I'm starting to wonder if there might be a nerve problem in his hand.
One angle I've seen that seems believable
Another is that he's still in pain, but I don't want to think about that one.

Hmm.

Looks like his pitches are breaking fine
Yeah, about that...

Wasn't a fastball

Felix is out.
At least this'll get rid of the trolls!

Hmmm.
The graphics/computer data person reads USSM and LookoutLanding, and is feeding prompts to Fairly.
No way he's that un-obvious...
I can't imagine how bad it would be
I wouldn't even watch, I'd just take the L and move on.
In other news...
Knock this piece of shit out of the game

Pence would have to run into the pole and die.

Reading through the game thread,

It's funny
So of course their starter goes 7 2/3 innings.
Sigh
NOW WAS NOT THE TIME TO BE PATIENT
Wheeler is such a forgiving pussy.
Biggio is gonna kill us this series
Well
Note to Red:
(No, not the cool Red)
Been awhile, but...
Felix, please get fixed :-(
Not necessarily.

Oh, c'mon, he's such a nice guy!
That's a good father if I've ever seen one.
...
Also, LOL.
No he's not.
And we're back to the losing.
Psst...LL...
The A's should do us a favor and hit him in the
Actually Crosby hit a liner off his glove
I'm telling you Jeff,
