Washburn meltdown in 10 seconds.

This had better not be the start of the Jarrod Washburn Meltdown
From now on, I’m referring to that as the JW90PM
Sounds like an oil filter.

"Nice to see the Mariner bats come alive. 4 runs on 3 hits in that inning"
I believe 4 runs on 6 hits would imply more life.
Baby Steps
its the Mariner offense after all.

I need to take issue with the behind the catcher camera
does anyone EVER like that angle?
I do actually
not all the time, but as a changeup to the usual angle.

I like it for panorama purposes
I don’t like it when pitches are thrown. It’s like the behind-the-goal camera during hockey games.

You will upset Washburn. He LOVES balls.

Don't question Squinty.
When he’s not napping he is constantly planning ways to deceive the enemy. Willie is a trick to make the opposing team complacent.
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?
People that don't understand concepts like randomness
must find life to be eminently bewildering.

Yeah. It was the evolution of the commerical.
Eventually, rather than simply being “not pretentious” it turns out they were actually stupid. I consider that a progression in logic rather than simply 2 separate points.

It's not just me, right
Loafie is hitting the ball really hard this season and it’s only a matter before he goes on an absolute tear?
I think I'm seeing it too
but I haven’t looked at the numbers. Can someone shed some light onto this?
New strategy:
If we can’t wear down the pitcher, we’ll wear down the 2B.

I went through a phrase like this?
Probably inspired by that one Family Guy where Stewie goes on and on about it?
So how's your novel coming?
The one with the characters?
The antagonist and protagonist?
Where some conflict leaves the antagonists better off having had the experience?
Wash done
Gotta say McLaren doesn’t run him deep in pitch counts like last year.

Great play Lopez
Umps have been terrible this whole series.
Woah I thought that was an infield pop-up
And I was baffled about how nonchalantly KA tossed it over to 1st. Then I was like “YES!... ohhh.”
Alright I'm tired of Johjima.
Get rid of him. Clement for C!
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
pussy hits

We had that run coming, what with Washburn’s evasive maneuvers earlier.
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 24, 2008 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions
it should be
Morrow going to AAA to pitch as a starter (especially since White left Tacoma’s game with an injury)..... Lowe and Corcoran can handle Morrow’s duties.
But… it’ll probably be Corcoran.

by MfaninAlaska on Apr 24, 2008 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions
I've long since given up hope that Morrow will ever be a starter.
I’m hoping he can turn into a dominating closer or setup guy.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

I doubt it.
EOF is still on the shitlist and moving Hyphen would only leave one lefty in the pen.
I'd just like to return quickly to say
The 1st base umpire should be declared legally blind.
Also, Richie Sexson has gone back to sucking again.
Dear Kenji,
Please stop popping up and grounding out to third.
Thanks,

Wasn't Rhodes the dude who went 8-0 as a reliever some years ago for our team?
...and now I'm here
In one season?
I must have missed that year
...and now I'm here
Ok, I'll say it.
I feel mildly comfortable with Rhodes here.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
I feel far less comfortable with our DH.
So yes.

It was GI Joes.
You all sadden me beyond belief.

The only similarity between Arthur Rhodes and Greg Maddux
is that they’re both black.
Yes, Rhodes, load 'em up
and let Millar hit into a triple play.
I have to say
According to gameday, three of Rhode’s pitches are pretty close to being strikes. Especially the 2nd one.

"An actual alert here people, this is an emergency:"
Me: ?
“Mark Lowe has gone…”
Good thing I felt the sameness with yesterday awhile ago
and already mentally prepared for the loss.
Its sad
but I would have been more comfortable with Morrow coming in then Lowe.

Seriously, Joe's Tracer and the strike zone need to make up
and get back together so we don’t have hilarious images of strikeouts with no strikes in them
Alright it's 12:30 AM
I’m going to sleep.

Well Lowe
hoped you enjoyed your three weeks on the ML club.
and they're just now
Getting Green up? WTF are they all sleeping?

Seems like J.J. and RRS are the only ones with a sack in the pen these days
Someone say something witty.
Please don't hit anything here Jones
I’ve long gotten used to the M’s not being on Sportscenter but I desperately don’t want to be an O’s highlight OMG this is not happening….

Unfortunately.
Go to hell mariners.
Except Yuni, Beltre, Felix, Putz, Ichiro, and Lopez. the rest can burn.
This does good for my fantasy baseball team
BUT GOD DAMMIT HOW CAN YOU FUCKING LOSE TO THE FUCKING O’s 6 OUT OF 7 TIMES???
guy is chasing off-speed
so throw him a grooved fastball…... this team sucks.

I hope that Bill Bavasi
is curled up in a corner crying right now.
Funny thing is...
That’s a homer at Camden Yards, bet he’s glad he was traded.
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
At least you can tell Baker that this loss is totally his fault
Clearly, Jones read his comments and took them as a challenge.

I couldn’t make it all the way through.
I see wut u did there...
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
But Mike Hampton would be on the DL
for his third year straight, and Big Papi would be batting somewhere in that line up too.
So lets see
Mariners have bad defense. bad offense, bad bullpen. That’s 3/4 bad.
We need an Ichro funk blast in the worst way.
