10/2: Open Rays/White Sox Thread

in Seattle Mariners Game Threads
Email
PrintWhen Ray Bourque finally won his championship, he was still a good player and actually worked hard to earn it. So dammit Griffey, if your stupid White Sox end up winning this series, it had better be because you did something fucking majestic. This I'm-terrible-and-simply-riding-the-coattails act is embarrassing for everybody.

He doubled and got pulled in the seventh inning because he sucks

Only Kenny Williams oculd assemble a team where his worst outfielder plays center.

After watching tons of Reds games this year,
I’d say that Griffey cost more runs from RF then he does from CF.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
Say what you will (and most of it is true)
I would be happy for him if he finally got his ring. He may suck now, but he was the greatest I ever saw play (in person) back in his prime. You never left to go to the bathroom if Jr was coming up to bat.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
Griffey was indeed fantastic
it’s just a shame that his shot at a title is coming when he’s fat and worthless.

I don’t care about him getting a ring if he’s not a useful player.

I saw that.
I’d still love it if he could somehow make a great catch, or get a key hit to end up with a ring. I’m nostalgic like that.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
He's an icon. I'm rooting for the Rays, but if the White Sox win, all bets are off.
I don’t like the White Sox but Junior is the best sports icon we’ve ever had in Seattle. .750 OPS level lead glove or not, I would love to see him get the ring he deserves.

His career deserves the ring
Griffey has really put in enough to earn a championship. It’s just too bad that if he does it, it’ll be when he’s embarrassingly bad.

Yeah, you either have to hate them both or love them both.

Of course
but then A-Rod did a lot more for us than he did for most other cities in the league.
by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 2, 2008 12:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah he was pretty freaking awesome
Even if 99% of M’s fans seem to block this from their memory
I hate him for the Boeing thing
not for taking a huge payday from Texas.
Anyone would have taken the payday.
But as far as that Boeing thing goes, what the hell Alex?
So A-Rod was totally worth the money Texas gave to him, right?
Or at least close to it, I’d imagine. Hell, I’d have given Bloomquist $25 mil a year if it meant the M’s couldn’t hamstring themselves with stupid contracts like they’ve done recently
The answer to your first question is yes.
The willie thing is remarkably stupid, even for hyperbole.
Lighten up
I was exaggerating just a bit, as you noted
I bash A-Rod because I don't like him.
He’s like a boring robot. If I never had to hear him speak, or see him in a commercial or on SportsCenter, I’d be fine with that.
He’s an absolutely amazing player, maybe the best of our generation I respect him as a player, but I don’t have to like him.
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
Too cliche, always says the "PC" thing...
Kind of…
I'm back to liking midgets too much.
So, what's he saying here?
I’m not the best at lip reading, but it looks like he could be saying something along the lines of either “I really haffa go poopie” or “I really want to stick my face in your boobies…”
This signature space for rent.
See I agree with this.
To me it seems like he’d get Vidro’s 2007 OPS in a different way as a DH. But when he plays the field he’s such a detriment. But I mean he’s got a 21% LD rate. Even if his power is gone, I think he can still run a .750-.780 OPS. That’s good enough for some dumb team that’s not as dumb as the White Sox to use him as a DH where he’s only below average instead of incredibly horrible. It sucks that his only chance to get a ring is when he’s terrible…but if he got one I’d still be happy.

Well, his bat ended up ~average
so it comes down to how bad his defense is. I know it’s horrid, but wouldn’t Daric Barton (15 runs below avg at 1B!) and Wily Mo give him a run for that title?

Buh?
His bat was terrible and he played 1B. I would have thought that came out to a lot worse than that.

Call me stupid
but I am going to harbor some hope that Yuni comes back in 2009 about 15 pounds of fat lighter. If Raul is serious about Yuni joining him for an offseason of workouts, we might get passable Yuni back.
I see no reason to trade Lopez
unless you get something awesome in return.
Yeah

I've been on record hundreds of times
saying I want them to trade Yuni if they can get something for him. I just doubt they can this winter.
They're not going to sign Furcal
So I don’t see how it makes sense to be realistic on this end, while we’re playing fantasy baseball on the other.
9=8

The Ms can afford to sign Furcal.
It’s isn’t fantasy baseball to speculate on what the Ms could do in reality. Speculating on what they will/will not do is more fantasy than this.
It doesn't make sense to hold on to Yuni in this situation
unless you are being offered nothing in return. The Mariners just don’t bench regulars like that. They move them elsewhere.
9=8
by JI on Oct 2, 2008 11:12 AM PDT up reply actions
What the Mariners did in the past
is not an indicator of what they will do in the future given a potentially new front office.
The reason I try to move both of them
is that they are two somewhat lazy players who are the most hacktastic hitters in a terrible hacktastic offense. Signing Fucal solves one spot, and if you convert Lopez’s power into a lefthanded or switch hitter that can get on base you it to change the culture of this team.
As for Yuni, if you can’t get value that’s one thing, but if you can you should trade him because it’s wrong to block a guy who could play everyday. A lost season endangers his career.

I'd rather potentially waste a little resource (Yuni)
and for sure have Furcal on the team then either
-wait on signing Furcal until you trade Lopez thereby risking not signing Furcal afterwards
or
-sign Furcal and then trade Lopez no matter what because you’re unwilling to put Yuni on the bench

Precisely the reason for the first time in my life I'm rooting against him.
The big fucking baby wanted to play center so bad he’ll ruin his team’s chances of winning. I may never root for another player like I rooted for Junior back in the day, but he really pissed me off this year and I’ve never wanted stupid roster construction to fail more.
Maybe I may have misunderstood.
But I still want bad general management to be denied rewards.

getting a scratched cornea (which BTW causes insane light sensitivity) and having to walk to the ER on a bright sunny morning the night after it snowed 18 inches. So I had to move very slowly and the it was the brightest it had ever been in the history of mankind.
