Seriously. They had to go back and do something to all the stock. IIRC, they just called it "Bat night" without a name or something.
Didn't Olerud have a jersey night after he was DFA'd, too?

My buddy and I got our picture taken in front of a gigantic picture of Jeremy Reed outside Safeco. I found it hilarious. When it's those borderline guys who may or may not make the team, you're probably better off just leaving them off your list of candidates for 10-foot-tall posters outside the park.

There's no guarentee that Batista would implode
or that EOF would locate his pitches.
Once Batistia started to struggle he was pulled. Our bullpen is a batter to batter proposition in a close game. It doesn't make any sense to start churning through relievers until you have to. Especially when theres a three game series with Anaheim starting tomorrow.

You know, I'm glad I forced myself to sit through most of the 2004 season.
Games like today would absolutely infuriate me otherwise.

so what happens to Potatoes?
option 1: Rhodes can come off the minor league DL today but he hasn't pitched out side of Arizona yet....
option 2: Jimenez (who is bad) has gotten off to a good start for the Rainiers 2ip 4k (small sample size), and there was talk in the middle of ST that McLaren liked him....
option 3: He stays and tries to get it turned around.

Option 4
The farm system is traded for the LHP equivalent of Rick White.

nah
I just can't recall any trades he's made this early in the season..... closest was picking up Jason Ellison last year.

Hopefully, Option 3; however, he gets his confidence back by pitching strictly in mop-up games
which may never happen considering this offense.

Hold on, let me predict what Squinty will say in the post-game interview.
"That was a tough loss."

"How do I reach these keeds?"

Ah, right, you're not watching it on TV.
The "required weekly test" made the game crash on the 2-2 pitch.

Yeah, I can see that being a real
bummer in a game that was, you know, close. >_>

At least Batista gave them 6 innings. Let's move on the to the Angels.

Sometimes early games are a blessing in disguise...
Like when you sleep though most of it and have a class for the other part.

So we just got shut out by Edwin Jackson
Obligitory Barry Bonds mugshot, anybody?
Also, I'm awfully curious as to when Seattle is going to offer up a Carmona-like deal to Felix.
