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.

OT look
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.

Just got a junk email from ESPN
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.
I would take Pierre or Crawford over

What are you talking about?
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.
dodgers are ahead of the padres for #1
Pierre has every intangible you can imagine and more.
I will even overlook his Frenchiness.

Why wont he move ibanez down
Ibanez still in the 3 hole?
FUCK YOU MAC
Just thought I'd post this
Ibanez: .257/.309/.395/.704 + really shitty defense
(postASB: .140/.208/.186/.394 <= retardedly bad)
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!!!
or Ben Broussard
Reading this thread
So Ibanez should be at #3?
by Mariner John on Jul 25, 2007 5:26 PM PDT up reply actions
Didn't say that
personally I would have left Vidro at #2, put Ibanez at #5 and Beltre at #3...

I like Beltre at 2
but Id throw Broussard in at 4, and Adam Jones in at 7

Why the hell.
Why the hell.
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???
BOOOOOOOOOO
I'm not really disagreeing

and 0.9% the fact that beltre bet him two ham sandwiches that he wouldnt be on the team after July

- In the span of weeks have gone from 115 lbs to 280.

Then again, knowing Bavasi, we probably would have gone after Carl Pavano.

This team is like that movie
Beltre making McLaren look like a genius
Raul up. Select your hit:
b) Strike out swinging
c) strike out looking
d) ground out to 1st
Ichiro and Beltre
Ichiro has 2 game stretches

He played for Tacoma

I'm kidding
Oh wow
Also, this is the shortest his hair has been since Cleveland. Maybe he'll hit for a change.
Also, it's clear why the pregame head shaving didn't give Raul any mojo: he has no hair to shave off.

Sims' impersonation voices are awful

I agree with you on that
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.
I don't know
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.

look
I'm not basing it on this one outing
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.

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.
The one thing that also disappoint me
JJ did not do the cockpunch pose. That should be a JJ Blown Save trademark.

Yeah, JJ is Texas' bitch. It hurts to say that, but basically everything he's given up has been against Texas.
Its funny how our two best pitchers (JJ and Felix) struggle so much against such a crappy team.
Actually, it's not funny. It sucks
