8/23: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

First Pitch: 5:35pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Catalanotto LF Vidro DH Wilkerson 1B Guillen RF Young "SS" Ibanez Reanimated Corpse Botts DH Beltre 3B Cruz RF Sexson 1B Saltaladhfaksjdfhalksjdfh C Johjima C Murphy CF Lopez 2B Metcalf 3B Betancourt SS Vazquez 2B ---------- ----------

Weaver (5-10, 5.57)         Loe (6-9, 5.56)

Why, I think this calls for another Texas Rangers Middle Infield Update!

Kinsler: .752 OPS, .665 road OPS, -21 UZR (as of a month ago), .826 current range
Young: .776 OPS, .717 road OPS, -17 UZR, .809 current range

Using the trusty RARP + UZR formula, Ian Kinsler is worth +0.5 runs above a replacement-level player over 150 games. Michael Young is at +8.1. For the sake of comparison, Jose Lopez is at +10.6 - terrible offense and all - and Yuniesky Betancourt's at +1.0.

Our second baseman can't hit and our shortstop derives some kind of sick satisfaction from throwing the ball into the dugout, yet we still have the better combo. And we won't be paying either of them $16m a year until they turn 37.

I keep thinking this is going to get old but it never does. In Mitch Hedberg's world, it's like the complete opposite of pancakes.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Yep:
"Late in the evening on March 29, 2005, Hedberg was found dead by his wife in his room at the upscale Westminster Hotel in Livingston, New Jersey. In May 2005 the New Jersey medical examiner's office reported "multiple drug toxicity," including cocaine and heroin, as the official cause of death."

Look at their staff
Andrew Miller forced into action, AAAA table scraps at the bottom... used to be they could count on soft tossing crapslingers like Maroth and Robertson to hold down the bottom of the rotation, now Robertson's their #2-3 and Maroth's in St Louis.  Camerakiller can't stay healthy, Zumaya and Rodney are/were hurt, the only guy that can stay healthy is Todd freaking Jones, who is the white handlebar moustached version of Eddie... they USED TO have a good pitching staff.

Is that, while no one seems to be mentioning it because just a playoff spot is more important, the M's are only 3.5 games out of having the best record in baseball. It would be the most hilariously great thing ever if the M's finished on top. Baseball "experts'" and media outlets' heads would explode.

As long as we keep winning, I am growing less and less irritated by seeing the same lineup. Yes, it's completely ridiculous on many levels, but what the hell.

She's okay. A 6/10, I suppose.  But she's not very well developed, if you know what I mean.  I guess I'm spoiled because I use my girlfriend as the yardstick for comparison purposes, and I punched WAY WAY above my weight in landing her.  (Thank god for the relative isolation of Hyde Park grad student dorms...)

Although upon further consideration she appears to be a baseball fan.  That's an automatic 2 point bump (my gf doesn't care for baseball, and it breaks my heart), so come to think of it...<boing>.

Realize that we're living in a world where the following two assertions are true:

A.) Jeff Weaver is now arguably our most reliable starter.

B.) The Mariners lead in the WC race and are 2 out of the division [i]in late August[/i].

In High School for freshman and sophomore years I was enamored with this girl who's last name was Overby. I tried asking her out but she gave me the "Keith, I don't want us to be anything more than friends." That stung for a while.

In Senior year we reacquainted and I accepted the fact she'd be just a friend. That was around the time OverBAY broke in.

Now? She wants to catch up with me and I want Overbay (the ballplayer) to do well. Amazing how things work out.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING JOHNNY MAC?!?!

Wait
The #4 web gem... a block at home plate by Mets catcher... SANDY ALOMAR JR?! He's still playing baseball?! Also, Ichiro's sliding catch was #5.

And that's game!

WOOOOOOOO 1 BACK IN THE DIVISION!

AND THEY FACE HALLADAY TOMORROW!

We could very likely be tied for the lead come Saturday.

Felix has been awful in Arlington.
Savor being one game back, and we'll get to a tied division if/when it happens.
