7/17: Open Game Thread

A sweep is in order

If a crappy lefty like Ho-Ram can keep the Orioles to 2 runs a lefty like Washburn should be able to shut them out. I don't care how good Bedard is, we're good for 2 runs off him.

the deal with the Orioles? They're horrible and worse than us! HAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If you can't tell the difference

between Cubs fans and Red Sox fans, you are not paying attention.

by G_ on Jul 17, 2007 4:54 PM PDT reply actions

Red Sox fans now

have little in common with Red Sox fans before 2004. I don't want to see that happen again.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 4:56 PM PDT up reply actions

The sad part is that I'm a Cubs sympathizer

and you are so right.

The best part of the Cubs, if the assumptions are correct, is that they're National League, so they won't be frequenting M's games much.

by tworsandtwols on Jul 17, 2007 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions

The only time I ever rooted for the Cubs

...was during the 2003 LCS.

The Marlins aren't a real team, and (expletive) David Sampson doesn't deserve to win championships.
I don't like seeing old people cry.

As long as the Cubs flame out during the regular season, no one gets their hopes up, and in turn have no reason to cry.

by JI on Jul 17, 2007 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, but . . .

Sampson was even less loathsome than Loria.

by Paytheline on Jul 17, 2007 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh, there will be bandwagon fans, but they will disappear about as quickly as the White Sox bandwagon fans. The problem with the Red Sox bandwagon fans is that they assumed the same entitlement attitude as pre-2004 Sox fans. They then remained visible thanks to the ESPN-fueled Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. The Cubs lack both (the Cardinals rivalry does not play outside of those two states).

by G_ on Jul 17, 2007 5:13 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't think they'd be a flash in the pan.

A Cubs post-title bandwagon, to me, would have way more staying power than the White Sox version.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 5:16 PM PDT up reply actions

There would be more of them

but as soon as the Cubs inevitable return to .500 occurred, they would disappear. And there is no ongoing rivalry angle to keep sitrring the pot.

by G_ on Jul 17, 2007 5:19 PM PDT up reply actions

I hope you're right.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 5:24 PM PDT up reply actions

Umm... quick point...

BoSox fans didn't have a sense of entitlement before 2004. Just an acute sense of doom-in-the-making, sensing late-inning/season/series collapses way ahead of outside observers.
Cubs fans root for perennial losers. Sox fans root(ed?) for perennial chokers. There's a difference.

David Ortiz > God

by Brian Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions

Not mutually exclusive

A sense of entitlement and a sense of doom are not mutually exclusive. Before the 2004 Series, when you sat next to a Red Sox fan, you would hear for the first eight innings about how the Red Sox and their fans are better than the other teams (the Yankees in particular), how Red Sox players (Manny/Pedro/et al.) deserve to win the MVP/Cy Young every year, and how the Red Sox deserve to win the Series more than anybody else. But then in the ninth inning, you would only hear about how much the current Red Sox reliever sucks (Urbina/Timlin/Kim/et al.) or how the Red Sox might lose the game.

by G_ on Jul 18, 2007 1:05 PM PDT up reply actions

I disagree...

I think Guthrie is legit. If he's overachieving it's only by a little bit.

I know a lot of Cub fans in Chicago

and the worst part about them is that ever since the Red Sox in '04, they've been convinced that their time has almost arrived. Every winter they go on about how they're the "yankees of the NL", and how their latest acquisition (Soriano, Piniella, Kendall, etc) is going to push them over the top.

They're barely over .500. That wouldn't be shit in the American League.

It's interesting because

One of the tenets of Mormonism is that anyone can receive revelations from God a la Joseph Smith. The problem is when a bunch of crazies decide they have received revelations contradicting what the LDS church is telling them.

True

but the average member doesn't know much about the Church's history. They Church has amazing powers of PR and revisionism.

As someone who is heading down the apostate path I'll say this:

The theoretical principles of the LDS church are some of the best of any Christianity based religion. The problem is they aren't really practiced right and some people get way too carried away.

I agree, they aren't

As an FYI, the term Mormon Fundamentalist is not really correct. They aren't Mormon at all, as they aren't members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons).

Back on-topic:
Guthrie looks like he has good movement on his fastball and breaking pitch. Am I not seeing it, or is he not throwing many (any) change-ups?

Used to be, anyway. But I've been wrong before.

Hehe, sadly true

I have read a few scouting reports on him in the last couple weeks. Most were gushing about the good velocity and movement of his fastball, and how he has vastly improved compared to his last couple years in the Indians system. Didn't learn much else.

Was able to fly down and watch the Mariners play the Pads a few years back, before the new stadium was built.
We directed the cabbie to take us to Qualcom Stadium. He replied, "I can take you to The Murph, but not to Qualcom."

Speaking of the Pads, I saw the Rainiers and Beavers play in Portland a couple weeks ago. Jones, Balentien, and Clement all looked good. The poor Pads fans - there wasn't a single player on that squad with a major league skill set.
Case in point: Horacio shut 'em down.

The Padres have a terrible system.

Like, it's really, really bad. Barfield and Kottaras are the last two passable players it's had and they've both been traded away.

Which is the real Johjima?

I mean it's not like he can just suck one year defensively then be great. He's over 30 years old so it's not like he's still learning how to throw baserunners out.

I'd like to think that this season's Johjima is the real Kenji.

Truth probably lies somewhere in between

He was supposed to be an above average defensive catcher in Japan, so we'll see.

by Gomez on Jul 17, 2007 9:37 PM PDT reply actions

The part that I've watched.

But mostly O'Flaherty, with a second place nod to Felix's awful command against an awful lineup.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions

El Duque has a 2.96 ERA

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:37 PM PDT reply actions

Not too long ago

The Mariners and White Sox were up by two, and it looked like we'd be tied for the Wild Card.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:41 PM PDT reply actions

Erik Bedard

I'm not worried, he's good so we'll crush him.

by JLC on Jul 17, 2007 9:41 PM PDT reply actions

Hey!!, was that...

Hargrove there in that brown shirt, with yellow stripes, and the sunglasses in the O's dugout?

RRS = 10 strikeouts in seven innings

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:42 PM PDT reply actions

That is because

the ball is spinning the opposite way since he is from Australia.

by ppl4life on Jul 17, 2007 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions

It's a good thing he doesn't hit

because runs don't count the same if you go clockwise.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions

and I guess it is good

that he doesn't just throw to second all the time instead of home

by ppl4life on Jul 17, 2007 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions

That must've been an awkward transition.

Although I bet he has a phenomenal pickoff move because of it.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Is this what we get for winning a HoRam start?

by ThundaPC on Jul 17, 2007 9:45 PM PDT reply actions

Holy shit

does every Orioles middle reliever have a perv 'stache?

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Sort of what I was going to say...

they had to do something for team unity...

by ppl4life on Jul 17, 2007 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Elsewhere

Good news for the A's: They've scored 4 runs.
Bad news for the A's: Their opponent has scored 9.

Sexson walkup song = Notorious B.I.G.

at least he has a sense of humor.

Sometimes their love just hypnotize him

which would explain all the K's.

Morrow in

Double-Digit time.

Question Jeff...(with AC/DC references)

Why do you have one road of the bullpen (or set of relievers) that is on the way up (all the way up to Thunderstruck for JJ), then you have one set of relivers on the "Highway to Hell"???

by ppl4life on Jul 17, 2007 9:52 PM PDT reply actions

Speaking of AC/DC (and, well, music)...

Why the heck does GS52 NOT have an intro song yet??? I got an e-mail from someone who knew I was a huge GS52 fan, and he asked me what song he came into.

I know we've briefly gone over this before, but we need to resolve this. It was cool and all not having our "FREE GEORGE SHERRILL!!!" cheers drowned out by the PA system as he strutted in from the bullpen, but at the same time it was LAME LAME LAME that he doesn't have an intro song.

Baseball is 90% Mental. The other half is statistics...

by PositivePaul on Jul 17, 2007 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Do middle relievers ever have intro songs?

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Does it matter?

Sorry, but the appropriate response was

"human ones don't."

Morrow needs to shave

You aren't edgy enough for the shadow look.

Yuck

Just got home from work and well, fuck Jay Gibbons, founder of the Reggie Willits All-Star Team (players with racially ambiguous names).

HAHA Blow

Sure, put him in the rotation next year... in West Tennessee.

by Gomez on Jul 17, 2007 9:58 PM PDT reply actions

Morrow in the rotation would be a disaster.

Not that we haven't become accustomed to disasters.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:59 PM PDT up reply actions

At least we're not the A's.

2007 rallying cry!

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 9:58 PM PDT reply actions

Rally time.

by ThundaPC on Jul 17, 2007 9:59 PM PDT reply actions

sims talking about

morrow in the rotation next year...no doubt about it....what's he smoking?

by gblady on Jul 17, 2007 9:59 PM PDT reply actions

Hey

I'm surprised we kept all our regulars in.

by ThundaPC on Jul 17, 2007 10:00 PM PDT reply actions

wooooo!

err....wait...nevermind br

by sirbrianwilson on Jul 17, 2007 10:02 PM PDT reply actions

Man

they're really trying to make this the most dramatic rally ever.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 10:03 PM PDT reply actions

Start comeback right

.........................................................................now

by Robert on Jul 17, 2007 10:03 PM PDT reply actions

Oh God

We surrender.

by ThundaPC on Jul 17, 2007 10:04 PM PDT reply actions

And that was awful.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 10:05 PM PDT reply actions

Oh boy

This REALLY feels like last year's loss to Colorado.

by ThundaPC on Jul 17, 2007 10:06 PM PDT reply actions

They all sort of feel like that

I think it's because subconsciously none of us are ready to accept a Mariners team that wins.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions

That loss invovled more loved ones being yelled at

by Robert on Jul 17, 2007 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions

I HATE losing!

Since I only have mlb.tv

I won't be able to hear the essay on "Vidro's Importance." But I am curious. Inspiration for fat jokes? Friend for Willie Bloomquist? Massage therapist?

So do bad teams.

So do red teams. So do blue teams...

NO KRUEGER

HE DOES NOT NEED TO GO BACK TO THE FASTBALL. STFU.

AND BILL KRUEGER SUCKED.

by Gomez on Jul 17, 2007 10:09 PM PDT reply actions

Bill Krueger wants us to suffer

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 17, 2007 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions

Last night

I had suggested wandering down to the beer garden after the game and yelling, "BILL KRUEGER WAS A TERRIBLE PITCHER."

by Gomez on Jul 17, 2007 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions

Now Kreguer has made it personal

Suck my balls Bill, no one cares what you think you think you're hot shit, I have news for you buddy you a hack who works for a regional cable network. You can eat my left asshole too while you're at it.

by JI on Jul 17, 2007 10:23 PM PDT up reply actions

You didn't listen to the rest..

you heard fastball and started putting your fingers in your ears and yelling "nah nah nah"

He said fastball, good curveball and changeup.

He needs to do something and be consistent. The pencil that hit the HR through the Hit It Here Cafe definately didn't help.

by ppl4life on Jul 17, 2007 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions

The look on his face was priceless though

by Robert on Jul 17, 2007 10:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah yeah

But he started with 'fastball'... which is consistent with a particular faulty philosophy.

by Gomez on Jul 17, 2007 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions

I think I'm missing the joke somewhere

WHAT ARE YOU DOING JOHNNY MAC?!?!

by MFAN on Jul 17, 2007 10:40 PM PDT up reply actions

Like 6 years ago

Vizquel made Arthur Rhodes take out an earring because it was blinding him at the plate in a SEA-CLE game.

Can't remember if that was THE GAME or not, one in the series maybe.

ahhhh

I remember that game, I get it now,hehe.

It was a random August game in Seattle

After THE GAME in 2001

by Robert on Jul 17, 2007 10:46 PM PDT up reply actions

That wasn't The Game.

This one was at Safeco. Rhodes threw zero pitches and we won in extras.

Said Arthur:

``A little short hitter like him,'' he said with a snort. ``A little midget. I'm not worried about him. I'll go right at him if I face him again. A buck 25. You think I'm scared of him?''
