How can managers not get it
after all these years?

First the mansion
then the women and piles and women in piles.

That's erotic in a Hostel 2 kind of way

Although I guess you were probably talking about piles of money, not piles of women

I think it's difficult to swim through a pile of whole women
...you’re gonna dream tonight, that’s for damn sure.

I thought we had a monopoly
as far as managerial incompetence.
God I miss Bob Melvin.
Doesn't he have to actually do something first?
I mean, I know he’s awesome…

No matter what happens, this is gonna be an interesting fangraph.
I also regret missing the hijinks that got certain posters banned from posting photographs. I like being there when idiots attack.
Green pitches to one hitter
burning relievers in a tie game late?

Bradford's pitches seem to sprout up out of the ground on gameday
like he has a cannon buried under the mound or something.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I wish I was a Diamondbacks fan right now
They are owning.
And their home run song...
Is the part of Won’t Get Fooled Again where Roger Daltrey yells real loud. What’s not to like?
dammmmmmmmmmm.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Our bullpen is a friggin' mess
I never thought that would be the case this year…
Someone say something witty.
.................................................
WHY IS RYAN ROWLAND SMITH JUST STARTING TO THROW NOW NICK FUCKING MARKAKIS IS UP
Because he obviously is not suitable to pitch late in games.
Because he gave up 1 homer.
Ichiro hurts the team by not knowing when everyone else has agreed to throw the game,
apparently.
~Till the Halo burns out...
The key to Batista's success.... LOL
What success… anyone else see that?
Batista said he found some secret after his start on Sunday and that he wouldn't tell anyone
by seattlebruin on Apr 24, 2008 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Seriously
how do you go 1-6 against the Orioles?
GOOD JOB WHOEVER LEFT GREEN IN
HE GOT MARKAKIS OUT
Look, I don't really care about the whole one out guy thing
I’d rather just let a guy pitch
BUT DEAR GOODNESS, why the HELL would you let someone with such horrific platoon splits to continue to pitch to left handed batters???!
For what it's worth Roberts doesn't really have that much power
but on the other hand, yeah…
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 24, 2008 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, that was just bad luck
but Markakis??
by seattlebruin on Apr 24, 2008 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions
So yeah...
Scrappy the Scapegoat obviously took over managing duties… Fuck Scrappy.
Someone do something other than Ichiro
I’ll have my grandma bake you cookies.
Someone say something witty.
I have a dream
that one day my favorite baseball team will be competently run.
You'd better just toss yourself off a bridge
it’s less painful than holding out hope for that.
Game over.
Just not quite the way we’re used to.
Wil they swing
At least ONCE at Bradford?
Fuck me,.
5-6-7-8
this part of the order will make Bradford look like Cy Young while giving out moustache rides
Maybe if we start making Bonds tall tales...
Sims will read it, buy into his magic, and tell the front office.
Dear Kenji,
This would be a nice time for you to hit a home run.
Thanks,
Lookout Landingnot PH Norton or Wilkerson
for a struggling Joh…..
Just waive the White Flag.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Go to your room and think about what you just said.
I’d rather have a Johjima hitting .021 than WIlkersuck up.
If Bloomquist gets another chance to bat in this game, I'm going to scream.

Strictly speaking,
Sexson was not “going the other way.”
He was late on a meatball.
IT'S TOO BAD KENJI DOESN'T RUN VERY FAST
or he’d be on second
Oh my God
Someone has the brains to use the bench!!!

Umm Kenji hitting the ball to that side of the field?
Is that legal?
WTF?
This team doesn’t deserve to have fans.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Please, not Sherrill
I’m so sick of these various types of stomach-punches. I never ever want to see Baltimore again. Never.
Willie obviously historically owns Bradford...
3 for 5 is good!
Sherrill wasn't warming up they had some righty up
there’s a chance he’s not available today

If this is how we play against Baltimore...
I really don’t wan to see Boston or New York
At least you aren't going to end up spending a few hundred dollars
to drive a girl from McCall all the way out here in July to see her favorite team the Boston Red Sox play

I cannot fucking wait until next year
when the Sounders are in MLS and I can cheer for a team that isn’t run by complete fucktards
Draft day with Tim Ruskell
is fucking awesome.
The weather's been fair for about 5 years now.
I think it’s safe to just be a general fan.

I've just never been captivated by the NFL at all
prob because when I was 5 it was ‘95, and thus I got hooked on the Sonics and Mariners, and never really the Hawks.
Cheering for a team part owned by Drew Carey.
Friggen sweet.
Feel better about that...
than cheering for one part owned by Nick Lachey

left Green in to pitch against lefties.

Me when I saw that new FSN girl.....
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Dear Ichiro
Our offense sucks. Could you hit another funk blast next inning?
Thank you
Lookout Landing
He will...
I’m matched up against him this week for fantasy.
Umm...
Wow… I don’t have any idea what to say about Sims right now.
He has character
More then I can say about most other recent M’s broadcasters (excluding Niehaus).
Someone say something witty.
I think Blowers works well with him
because he’s the exact opposite.
Made reference to the Niel Young song "Helpless, Helpless, Helpless"
and then followed it up with the above.
Brett on the field
with his Bonds picture…. is that the holdup?
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
If we win this...
rally streaker… I can see it now.
So, let me get this straight...
In Dave Sims mothers womb, the streaker would not have left alive.
Sims is magical.

Come on Ichiro...repeat funk blast.
Game winning funk blast.
I’ll love you forever…
Yuni can run
he just can’t steal a friggin base.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Don't try to steal...
Yuni doesn’t do that….but he’ll probably try…and fail…
I have never rooted against George Sherrill so hard in my life
except the first four games he saved against us

Hey, at least I was BORN in Seattle
so to me, youse guys are ALL “newbies” and ‘wannabes’.
Heck I’ve not said one disparaging remark about the Mariners. All my comments are pointing out what I like!

Fuck this team.
Fuck them fuck them fuck them.
1-6 against the fucking Baltimore Orioles.
Tonight was great!
Seattle leads 5-0, then lets the Orioles score in FIVE CONSECUTIVE INNINGS!
Orioles=6-1 versus Mariners, 7-8 everyone else!

That center fielder and their closer seem awesome, and totally destroyed us tonight
I wonder if we can trade that worthless sack of crap thats been on the DL all goddamn season for them. That’d be a steal.
and then they lead off with Frank Thomas returns to the A's..
so depressing, i’m going to go pretend not to be a Mariners fan.
Someone say something witty.
So this is turning out to be
a pretty disastrous April. Wasn’t the general consensus the Mariners needed to jump off to a huge division lead during this weak schedule? Geoff I think that was you who said that.
BOY I SWURRSo what has happened thanks to today's game
Vidro’s double landed him another two months of veteran entitlement
Lowe is on his way to Tacoma
Geoff Baker will be forced to rationalize and defend his bashing of Adam Jones.
Lesson learned

This game thread was a success
not the funniest of all time, but pretty clean, all things considered. Thanks. I hope they’re all this easy to moderate.
I guess if we wanted to look at it literally it would have been when Rhodes came back
but that doesn’t fill me with much hope for the future
since you asked
3 wins… 0 losses for the affiliates.

Those wins are transferable
to the ML club, right?
Bavasi prefers only to transfer gritty loses.

Haha
So Bill James’s son is the guy who does the MLB.com Gameday for home Mariners games, if you were curious
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
He goes to UPS
I went to several games with him last year but hadn’t talked to him too much this semester but I just ran into him and I guess he’s doing that now
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
So having taken some time to look back on it all
That 1B umpire really screwed us over, didn’t he? Had that runner been correctly called out, he never would’ve scored.
I love reminiscing.
If only we picked Lincecum....
Local ace pitcher more likely to sign long term contract…2nd piece of the “1-2 punch”...still have Sherrill + AJ…
