Beluga Tits (10-7, 4.32)    McCarthy (4-7, 5.53)

I'm probably going to be out of the house all night, which means I'll either miss another loss and be happy, or miss a win, causing people to say "you're bad luck!" and asking that I never watch another Mariner game as long as I live. Well tough shit, that's what I say. I'll do what I want.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

OT look
Ok here it goes this is going to be a league I should call it "MLB.COM BOARD Poster-Player League-" Ok what we are doing here what this thread was for is we are getting Managers for the league these Managers once we get the "16 Managers" we need,(I will not be participating)we will have a draft thread where the 16 Managers all take turns drafting until they have the required number of players,oh before the draft the 16 Managers will name their teams.I will be making a website that will have the schedule on it, the stats,and the Standings and more!Ok so once the people are drafted the Managers will set how they wan't their lineup to be and send it through an email that I will provide,and also there starting rotations,people can change their lineups after every game,people are required to be there so If they need to do Pinch-hitters and Substitute pitchers in I will make a place where they can ask And I will have them changed.

Then for the players:I will make a thread for the players to sign up If they want to be players and be draft eligible,and when they sign up they will have to give 3 stats that they want there player to be good in such as Power hitting 1st Baseman with Great fielding and Good eye,etc and for pitchers If they are Power pitchers or Finesse Pitchers,and name three pitches that they have. So that means you players will pick your position,etc.

The gaming part:So people will not actually play they will be played through a sim that I will do,that is why I am not participating in it,and I will keep it updated through a kind of Gameday environment.

Sound fun?
Any questions,also sorry If you didn't understand it all.

There is the required number of Managers now 10

Just got a junk email from ESPN
suggesting possible trades to make:

Trade No. 3: Carl Crawford for Juan Pierre

One gets tons of love and one gets no respect, but over the second half of the year, Juan Pierre is going to be the better fantasy player. I'm sorry. Continue to be the better fantasy player. You saw me mention Pierre briefly in last week's newsletter but let's put those numbers into even more of a perspective.

From June 1 through July 22:

Juan Pierre: 27 R, 24 SB, 0 HR, 12 RBI, .335 average
Carl Crawford: 32 R, 19 SB, 1 HR, 23 RBI, .278 average

The power is better for Crawford, but it's not significant in the grand scheme of things and that's not why you have either guy. Otherwise, they are basically the same, with Pierre hitting over 50 points higher. You could get Pierre plus something else for your Carl Crawford and not suffer any drop-off at all. Again, we play with numbers, not names.

Here is evidence that they are pretty stupid.

by Edgar for Pres on Jul 25, 2007 4:28 PM PDT reply actions  

I would take Pierre or Crawford over
any position player on our team not named Ichiro

by TheMarinator on Jul 25, 2007 4:31 PM PDT reply actions  

What are you talking about?
Juan Pierre is damn good.

Damn good at making outs that is. He has ranked first or 2nd in outs made every year since 2003 and currently is #1 in 2007.

Nobody cares how many bases you steal if your OBP is .317 and you have a 72 OPS+.

What a fantastically horrible contract.

I think we can all tell who has been fucking us in the ear lately.

Oh...and I'm not saying we should do it but WFB (career): .261/.313/.334.  I'm just saying is shitty defense worth 60 pts of SLG...ADAM JONES!!!

Okay.  So, yeah, I can see them not wanting to bench guys like Sexson and Ibanez, hoping they will get it going.

But why the hell do these idiots put their worst f'ing hitter in a spot generally reserved for the best hitter.

I wouldn't've bitched about having Vidro batting third, even though in general that's a really bad idea too.  

I'm SOOOOOO TIRED of idiotic decisions.  Do the leaders of this team pay attention to ANYTHING logical and reasonable???

I'm not really disagreeing
But right now we have, like, 2 or 3 hot hitters right now in Beltre, Guillen, and Vidro. Everyone else is hitting like shit, and we don't have enough hot hitters to break up all the shit clogging up our shitty lineup. I guess my point is that it doesn't really matter. It's shit either way.

Texas announcers saying that having Adam Jones, another great center fielder, may present a fun problem in that we'll have both he and Ichiro.  They also mentioned this will be a problem "in a couple years" -- which is seeming more and more truthful.

I'm just amazed that he has only 3 HR's this year, but 2 of them were in April. I'm also amazed that a pitcher that obviously was the worst in the history of anything is still in the league after giving up 2 longballs to the April version of Vidro.

He sees the team parading out Raul and Sexson even though they are clearly over the hill and incapable of doing their jobs, and realizes that he can comfortably end his career here well after his skills circle the drain, and that the team will not only not kick him to the curb or bench hit, but will probably keep batting him leadoff.

by ThundaPC on Jul 25, 2007 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

I might be missing sarcasm
but because of a couple outings that didn't go so hot, he's reverting back to meh JJ?

I expect that from 70% of the posters here, but not from you MFIA. You're the voice of reason more often than not...

by Trent on Jul 25, 2007 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

normally
but JJ just hasn't seemed right since before the all-star break.  His split hasn't been anything like it was last year, and he's been getting away with alot of fastballs.... its got me concerned.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 25, 2007 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree with you on that
I was chalking it up more to fatigued than anything else, so obviously, I hope you are wrong.

But his splitter disappeared after that elbow injury earlier in the year. Whether that's a factor or not, well, let's just hope its not.

by Trent on Jul 25, 2007 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't know
If its fatigue.... or if the elbow still bothers him when he throws it... or if he's just lost the feel for it.... but without it, he's not the same pitcher... he's that guy that was not a fan favorite in a setup role.

I hope he figures it out... because with just his fastball and not that good splitter its not a good thing for the rest of the year.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 25, 2007 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

look
how long he went between outings.  probably has some rust in the arm from watching so many losing games in a row.  i dont quite think he has gone all mike schooler on us yet he has blown this one save all season.
Spider pig, spider pig does whatever a spider pig does.

by wadswerth on Jul 25, 2007 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm not basing it on this one outing
it was also the struggle against the BlueJays... and the fact that his splitter hasn't been nearly as effective as it was last year...
His K rate is down this year... his k-bb is down.. and he's gone from an extreme gb pitcher last year, to nearly even this year... those are the factors I'm concerned with in regards to JJ.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 25, 2007 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

texas has
got 4 out of the 5 earned runs he has given up all year, the only other one run he has given up was against the angels and that wasnt in a save situation. as well texas has all of the homeruns against him this year.  texas just has his number we should be glad its texas and not the angels.

Guys - J.J. Putz is an amazing closer. He just blew a save. It happens. All the great ones have blown a save or two over their careers. Yes, this one hurts because of the fact that our team is playing like a bunch of girl scouts. But take a deep breathe. J.J. had a bad day at the office. It's allowed.

and wasted the bullpen away...brough him in too early.

I haven't posted since the winter
And I mostly slowed down to not at all because of work, life and my general negative attitude toward everything Mariner. I still watched, but my mom's always said if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

However, the M's got me interested. This mildly entertaining team had me cheering. My interest was back and now, I fell like I've been shanked by Guillen and I'm pissed. I'm anticipating a rant post soon. Really soon.
