8/24: Open Game Thread

Tiny by Jeff on in Regular News

BEWILDERED UPDATE: evidently John McLaren's idea of giving the regulars rest is to field the exact same lineup every day.

First Pitch: 5:35pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Catalanotto LF Vidro DH Kinsler 2B Guillen RF Young "SS" Zombie Shakespeare "LF" Byrd CF Beltre 3B Wilkerson 1B Sexson 1B Botts DH Johjima C Saltalamacchia C Lopez 2B Murphy RF Betancourt SS Metcalf 3B ---------- ----------

Hernandez (9-6, 3.94)       Millwood (8-10, 5.39)

That didn't take long:

Reliever Mark Lowe has experienced soreness in his surgically repaired elbow while pitching for Tacoma and has been "slowed down," McLaren said.

I guess there are some important baseball games today. Kinda hard to keep track though, y'know?

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

GREAT!
If he has to end his very promising career because of this darn elbow injury, I'm going to go McCrazypants.

Also, if Felix wins tonight.
He'll be our second starter to win ten games, and then if the Washburnator wins tomorrow he'll be the third SP to win ten games on our team, this year. That doesn't happen very often, does it?

In the interests of efficiency...
Wouldn't it be easier if Will just changed his signature to "John Olerud sucked"? Think of all the wear and tear on keyboards it would save.

Baseball-Reference is your friend.
Hell, it's already happened for the Red Sox, Indians, A's, Mets, Cubs, and Brewers in 2007.

if only...
John Olerud's BR page was up for sponsership, I'd buy it, write "John Olerud sucks" and then come back here and post that even BR isn't CO's friend. Then I'd laugh.

alas...

I think you guys misunderstood
me. I mean the last time pitchers won their tenth game on back to back days. Not three pitchers with ten wins on one team. Of course I know that happens a lot!

I don't have the time to look that up
but did you know that on April 3rd, 2007, Julio Mateo recorded a win and by doing so, he and Felix both won their first game of the year on back to back days?

creepy huh?

Posts like these just prove to me
that the John Olerud sucks comments have no end in sight..

by seattlesundevil on Aug 24, 2007 4:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

man, just looked at milb
Lowe has sucked in the 3IP he's gotten since he returned.

The good news is that he's pretty much barely thrown at all this year. So if this is just normal soreness rather than surgery didn't take soreness, he should be pretty fresh next year.

If not... Hello Brandon Morrow, it's nice to see you in the bullpen for the next non-ice age eon.

I can't believe I'm saying this...
but I'm actually starting to feel bad for Willie Ballgame, not to mention Broussard and Jones.  McLaren really takes the phrase "riding the pine" to its farthest extreme.
Still not making fun of Willie.

"Riding the pine"?
More like "Humping the pine" mirite?

If you have the urge to capitalize your words
and spell 'THE' as 'TEH' you have coachitis.

So
A dude told A-Rod he'd give him $1,000 if he hit a homer.  And when he did, he didn't have the money?

I guess that's cool, FSN.

So, that weird start that
I was talking about, the one where two pitchers on the same team won their tenth game on back to back games hasn't happened this year. I guess I showed you guys.

what ever happened to that guy, I know he played a small part in Shallow Hal, but that guy was pure comedic genius, he should've been in tons of stuff after that.

Does it tell you anything about anyone? Maybe it is the final proof of how Olerud sucks...

I actually stopped the remote on Fox News, and watched the last three minutes of the O'Reilly Factor.
