8/24: Open Game Thread

Tiny by Jeff on in Regular News Comment 827 comments

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!!

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?

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 was hoping back in July that we'd trade
for him. And considering the FA market, he might be an option this winter (although I'd love to go after Prior or Clement on the cheap).

That said, he doesn't look good so far tonight.

There are cheaper, better options available.  Like Tomko for instance.

Err

Didn't mean to say Tomko is a better pitcher than Millwood, but he's a lot better than HoRam and we can probably get him for nothing so he'd be a better option.

David Wells might be old, broken-down, and expensive, but there is one stat he's off the charts on - his NBT ranking is 112,073%! The NBT, of course, is "Not Brett Tomko". If Wells is pitching for the Blue on Sunday night, that means Brett Tomko is not pitching for the Blue on Sunday night. Considering that at this point, I'd take Dave Dravecky over Tomko (what, too soon?), this is a huge bonus.

I wonder if he'll
Be a September call up. Probably less likely now that the roster is completely full. All I can say is, it can't hurt when the roster expands.

like one of those tunnel holes in miniature golf that sends the ball from an elevated location down to the green.

please stop with the work it out commercial. It's really getting on my nerves.

No way
Then there's the awful Red Hook commercial, or "Tried rehab? It didn't work? Try our rehab center!" rubbish.

argh!
I totally faked him out like it was a walk off grand slam. Dude bought me a red hook for my effort. Nice guy, but I think he was copying me too...

<cue slurring Pat O'Day>
are youa drunk?!? wanna stop? why?! come drink with me!!! we'll get hammered and kill some hookers.
<cue static>

okay, the second one is just always how I hear that commercial. I'm sure it's quite different in reality.

UGH
I absolutely loathe that commercial. Does that ever actually happen? Who really needs to be cued to know how or when to cheer?

True, those two are terribly annoying.
But I can just tune them out for some reason.  

Anyone know anything about that rehab center thing?  Is it a quackworks or something?

by esoteric on Aug 24, 2007 6:12 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

who knows?
I've heard they get you drunk one last time and then put epikak syrup in your drink so you get sicker than you ever have in your life and do something like that for the next 2 weeks so you don't want to ever think about drinking again. I could be wrong, but that's what I've heard.

Question
I see first basemen always catching a ball tossed to  them from the dugout after an inning, then throw the ball from that ended the inning into the stands.

Why can't they just toss the ball into the stands and go and sit down?  Why?!

by StevenH on Aug 24, 2007 6:04 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well
The way I figure, some of those balls are thrown very poorly.  But the rest of them are good, so if you take out the poor ones practically all of them are good.
