First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Owens CF Ichiro CF Fields 3B Vidro DH Thome DH Guillen RF Dye RF Ibanez Reanimated Corpse Pierzynski C Beltre 3B Erstad 1B Sexson 1B Podzilla LF Johjima C Uribe SS Lopez 2B Richar 2B Betancourt SS ---------- ----------

Danks (6-10, 5.22)          Weaver (4-10, 5.64)

1. dank     

sticky, hairy, stinky, and highly potent marijuana.

'I took two hits of that dank and was nearly transcendent.'

This pitching matchup is appropriate.

(Thread opened early for extra scoreboard-watching goodness.)

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Anyone watching the DET @ NYY?
Is that a win-win situation, or lose-lose? Go Tigers!! (for two of the three games)

Actually NVM, he's probably 1000x better than Ho, so I shouldn't make fun.

Cameron Maybin
Maybin got his first major league hit in the top of the third. Worth watching the game just to see his debut.

He sorta Jones'd a ball in the 2nd.
The similarities between his and AJ's story are crazy. Both very young, CFs who got moved to LF, etc. Maybin is like 3 years younger though...

kinda random and late
but Geoff Baker on KJR this morning about the bullpen said (paraphrased): "We don't know how a Green or Morrow is going to handle the pressure of a pennant race so they had to bring in a veteran like Parrish."

Not only is that argument stupid even if Parrish came from the Yankees, Parrish came from the Orioles who haven't been in a pennant race since '97. I don't see how Parrish has been able to experience that pressure.

If he wasn't left-handed
He'd have been a top 3 round pick as a hitter, and potentially a first rounder.  He hit .355/.470/.719 in his junior year at Tulane, and a few teams liked him better as a hitter than a pitcher.

In the minors, he hit .377/.381/.525.  No joke.  Kid can hit.

He still has alot of work to do as a pitcher.
This is the best start I have ever seen from him.

His problem is that until recently, he hasn't had much of a third pitch. But he's been working on a change that seems to be coming along nicely.

Observations
  1. WOW!  The M's are never on in my market!  This is great!
  2. They've been telling me that the M's can't take a pitch all year.  It's totally true.  Ten batters and they must have taken all of three pitches.
  3. Why did Ozzie leave that guy out there?  What a moron.
The throw to the plate will be... LATE! The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship! I don't believe it, it just continues! My Oh My!

Say what you will about Weaver's body language
but he's handled those situations remarkably well this year. He's more mature and professional than he looks.

It kinda looked like he was caught with
a 14 year old girl.  He looks at the cop.  "What?  What did I do?"

i agree...
that commentary was great.
however, i've been semi-lurking all year and didn't come to fully appreciate your work until the first Red game.  i was at the bar w/ my one mariner-friend and he was laughing about Red.  Buti was thinking he was awesome.  When i got home, the first thing i did was check this sight to see if anyone else noticed him.
You noticed, and i instantly became a full-time lurker.  I recently began posting...
for no reason.

Jeff Weaver...
Is basically this Mariners' season in a nutshell:

Start with Low Expectations

Alternate "suck" with "wooo" at a ridiculous and unpredictable pace

Succeed despite and without regard for logical analysis

Not really.
The massive SUCK was all in April/May. Since then he's been pretty decent with typical variance in game performance.

Well, that was tough...
Gameday shows both balls were strikes.  Figures I guess.  The first one definitely looked like a strike.  Had to go fastball down 2-0.

Both pitches have been 91 mph fastballs down and in.

About not risking a bomb?  To his credit, Ichiro did get up there after it.

Another thing
Ichiro actually almost had that.  If he had jumped the wall two feet to the left, he makes the catch of the season.

said that he's been waiting for ichiro to catch one of those some day. &n
