9/5: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners Regular News

First Pitch: 4:05pm PDT

                   

Ichiro CF Damon LF Vidro DH Cabrera CF Guillen RF Jeter "SS" Ibanez "LF" Rodriguez DH Beltre 3B Cano 2B Broussard 1B Duncan Troll Johjima C Giambi 1B Lopez 2B Betemit 3B Betancourt SS Molina C ---------- ----------

Washburn (9-12, 4.37)       Hughes (2-3, 5.65)

I'm posting this early because, once again, we're facing the most important game of the season.

It's not really a must-win; even if the Mariners lose, they'll still have more than three weeks to pick up three games on New York. But really, there comes a point at which your chances of making the playoffs are so slim that it's hard to keep hope alive, and that's the point we're approaching today. Lose this game and our odds of taking the Wild Card drop below 10%, taking us from a contender to a long shot. For the sake of comparison, our chances would be similar to those of Colorado winning the NL West. We'd still be playing meaningful baseball, but there are few things more demoralizing than trying to play catch-up at the last minute against a better team with a cupcake schedule. The margin for error essentially becomes zero for the rest of the season, and this isn't a team that's shown the ability to consistently play at a high level for more than a week or two at a time. Put simply, it would not be a favorable position.

And so our hopes rest on the delicate shoulders of one Jarrod Washburn, a guy whose mincing fastball and homer-proneness make for an uncomfortable matchup at the best of times. Not that Phil Hughes has been anything special since coming off the DL, but at least when Hughes sucks he still strikes people out. Jarrod, not so much. Against the best lineup that baseball's seen in years, Washburn's going to need good defense, better luck, and great run support. This is it. Pray for Mojo.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

hahahahahaha
this has all the makings of:

-Ms up 3-1 after 6, Wash at 89 pitches
-Mac leaves Wash in to start 7th
-Wash yields 2 to tie and leaves with 2 runners on with 2 out
-Mac brings in Rick White and you know the rest

Are you Joking?
This is the first time in years that the M's are playing anything meaningful in September, even though they're choking I'm loving every minute of this fight for a playoff spot baseball.  I'd have quit caring by the start of last month the past few seasons.

This is what its all about in my book.

by MfaninAlaska on Sep 5, 2007 11:38 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yea, I'm mostly joking.
This definately beats spending September looking forward to the end of the season while putting up with boring games vs. non-condenders as a non-contending team.

Make no mistake, no matter what happens, this has been a fun season and I've enjoyed almost every minute of it.

by ThundaPC on Sep 5, 2007 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

I was hoping
that you were joking.... yeah it sucks to be the team choking down the stretch, but its so much better then being the team already thinking about what they need to do in the off-season and watching the callups get run out there daily.

GEORGE_ZIMMER 08/13/05(Sat)21:07 No.23

HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE. ONE DAY, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS HOLDING A MEETING WITH MY COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXPLAINING THE IMPORTANCE OF DEDICATION, AND QUALITY IN THE SALE OF OUTRAGEOUSLY DAPPER SUITS, WHEN I NOTICED ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WAS, IN FACT, A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL BLOND FEMALE, HER BEAUTY MATCHED ONLY BY HER PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND ABSOLUTELY ELEGANT SUIT. THIS COMBINATION OF STIMULI GAVE MY MONOLITHIC CROTCH CANNON NO CHOICE BUT TO AUGMENT AND OBLITERATE MY PANTS. WITHIN MOMENTS MY MY MEMBER HAD DESOLATED THE BOARD ROOM, THE TABLE HAVING BEEN SMASHED UNDER THE SHEER GIRTH OF MY PELVIC PULVERISER, AND THE WOMAN IN QUESTION WAS IMPALED ON ITS GARGANTUAN TIP, HAVING THROWN HERSELF IN ITS APOCOLIPTIC PATH OF DESTRUCTION IN AN EFFORT NOT ONLY TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HER COLLEAGUES, BUT TO EXPERIENCE FIRSTHAND THE QUASI-RELIGEOUS EXPERIENCE THAT IS ZIMMER. AS MY TROUSER TRUNCHEON EXPANDED, DEMOLISHING WALLS AND DISPATCHING THE INTERNS WHO ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES RATHER THAN THROW THEMSELVES AT THE MERCY OF MY THROBBING FLESH MISSLE.
MOMENTS LATER MY PHALLUS HAD KNOCKED OUT MANY OF THE BUILDING'S SUPPORT BEAMS AND THE FLOORS OVERHEAD CRASHED DOWN, THE FORCE OF THEIR MOMENTUM CAUSING THE ENTIRE BUILDING ITSELF TO COLLAPSE IN A NIGHTMARISH MANNER NOT UNLIKE A FAMOUS DISASTER FROM A FEW YEARS AGO. RISING FROM THE RUBBLE, WITH THE STUNNING BOARD MEMBER STILL ON THE TIP OF MY GOD-SHLONG CRYING ALOUD FOR MERCY, HER SUIT AS WELL AS MINE UTTERLY RUINED BY THE AFFAIR, AS WELL AS A DOZEN OTHERS STILL CLINGING TO THE SHAFT. i LET OUT A THUNDERING ROAR AND LET SPEW FORTH MY SEED WITH SUCH AWE-INSPIRING FORCE THAT THE LOAD SHATTERED THE SOUND BARRIER, VAPOURIZING MY LUSTY ASSOCIATE, CRUSHING EVERYONE IN SIGHT AND SHATTERING EVERY WINDOW IN A 5-MILE RADIUS. IN THE AFTERMATH, STANDING NAKED AND COVERED IN CEMENT DUST, AND SMILING CONTENTLY AT THE DEMOLISHED, SEMEN-COVERED RUINS BEFORE ME, I SPOTTED A SMALL DOG, STUMBING IN THE DEBRIS, ITS EARS BLEEDING AND GASPING FOR BREATH IN THE HUMID MUSK. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. WITH A LOUD THUD MY ELEPHANTINE MAN-HAMMER HAD CRUSHED THE ANIMAL LIKE A THICK, MEATY FLYSWATTER. I GUARANTEE IT

funny story
about 2 years ago I was at a house party back in Philly with some friends of mine, one of whom is a diehard Red Sox fan and has better than average baseball knowledge.

Turns out one of the girls at the party was a cousin of Derek Jeter. When he found out, he, assisted by alcohol, proceeded to spend the next hour+ talking trash about Jeter as loudly as he could. He would not stop. She tried to issue some comebacks but he was belligerent and loud. She gave up and left.

WASHINGTON - A B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states last week, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.

"Mistakenly"?

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 5, 2007 5:11 PM PDT reply actions  

what is being fired like in the USAF?
is that layman speak for court-martialed or re-assignment or what?

by Matthew on Sep 5, 2007 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

He will be reassigned
Removed from the personal reliability program and never allowed to work with speacial weapons again. More than likely if he is past 20 years he will be "asked" to retire.

If he isn't past twenty and wants to stay in he will see a shitload of crappy assignments.

Actually
You will probably see him on CNN as one of the "experts" next time there is anything to do with nuclear weapons issues.

by Ben in Va on Sep 5, 2007 5:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes.
The warheads were not supposed to be attached to the cruise missles but were instead supposed to be carried next to them. A standard procedure that several people fucked up. Still no danger of them going off though.

by Ben in Va on Sep 5, 2007 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

What's the real difference here?
Either way if they fall off the plane, or the plane crashes, the warheads can't detonate anyway.

Is this more of a tracking issue? As in they had no idea where these warheads were?

Maybe we can trade for Raffy Soriano
Probably would cost a top prospect, though - only an idiot would give him up for less.

by Jordan of Boise on Sep 5, 2007 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

We know exactly how.
Lopez is lazy and troublesome, the bullpen is inexperienced and lacks leadership, Washburn gave it all he had but was let down by the rest of the team...

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 5, 2007 6:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

What more could we have asked
than a 3 hitter from Washburn?  I said take him out, but even if we had, could we find a reliever who could find the strike zone???

by LongBeachDave on Sep 5, 2007 6:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm not blaming Washburn
predictable home run aside.

And Sherrill threw strikes. They were called balls.

by Jeff Sullivan on Sep 5, 2007 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah...ignore him the next few days I think
Although, the guys we were going after all sucked (Gagne and Reyes) or are on the DL (Dotel)
I fucking hate you Mariners

This was the first thing in 4 years during the Mariners part of the year, to look forward to, and now it's come crashing down on us. I'm sorry.

RICK WHITE SUSPENDED!
Almost worth this whole game if that happens.

How sweet it is!

Bavasi shouldn't be fired. He should be knackered.

by EireDuck on Sep 5, 2007 6:53 PM PDT reply actions  

Rick White
Flipped off the ump after a balls/strikes call and then got chucked.  He threw the ball at him, so he may get suspended, which is the only thing that can save our bullpen.

Holy guacamole
He THREW A BALL AT HIM?

Why would he be suspended for that?  I mean come on now, a ball thrown by Rick White would be five feet off target.

Whats hilarious is that before the extension,
Yankee fans were practically fitting Ichiro for pinstripes.

Now that he's not going to be a Yankee, now he's an overrated piece of shit.

I have to say
it's not like the umps weren't fucking the Mariners on ball/strike calls all series, so yeah, Rick White was speaking (er... flipping?) the truth.  Good on him... even if he's still a horrible MLB pitcher and will be gone forever after this.

But still... the Mariners just caved in this past two weeks.

kinda like Jason Ellison?
take one for the team Rick. stick it to the umpire

by CKel on Sep 5, 2007 7:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think I've ever wanted anything more...
than to wake up and see that the Yankees team plane has crashed into a razorblade factory and rolled into an unstable explosives plant.

Maybe that their plane and the Angels plane collide in midair. That would be good as well.

God, you better get on that, because all this shit you've put me through this season deserves nothing less.
