That sac fly
just bought Clement another two months in Tacoma.
Whoa WT[s] happened?
I quit when [Smurfs] got pulled and we’re not [smurf]ed yet?
Come on richie
take one for the team you puss
Uh... 14K/1BB... and Richie at the plate
Do I need to say it?
he's gonna pop it up
I fucking hate you Mariners
Yay.
Another Funk Sac Fly.
This team is a grit machine.
...and now I'm here

Hey I had a friend who fell in the shower
And smurfed up his entire back, had to get it sewn up.
Be careful what you say (hehe, isn’t this ironic.)
Sims ain't bad.
Better than Rizzs, at least.

I think we're now the ML leaders in SFs
we were down 3 to start the day
The guy I learned this game from, Rob Sposato, one of my true heroes
Was from New York, and he spoke the same way. So I guess I know where Mr. Sims may be coming from.
Wow.
This guy isn’t very good right now. We shouldn’t make a rash decision that could easily have waited until we know how he’s going to do.
...and now I'm here
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
...and now I'm here
I'm having a really good laugh saying "Willie Broomstick" out loud by myself
I’ve never heard this one before… Thank you
Buh? That was a weird reaction by Johjima.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
Baek deserves the win tonight
and I can’t believe that someone hit our 8 million dollar man
someone is going to pay!
that would be us
....HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
...and now I'm here
Impending doom?
Or just that really bad outfield sign?
Norton is a pinch hitter
and they bring in Wilkerson who’s been struggling all year….. typical.

Whoa Cha Seung Baek

Huh??
Baek is not a bad pitcher.

The reason it is important
was because he’s the reason we didn’t NEED to make the Bedard trade. Something that was clearly overlooked by Bav.
...and now I'm here
Ironicly, the Korean emote for laugh out loud is 'kekekekeke," each syllable sounded with a long A sound
If I could go to M’s games when Baek pitched, I would take a sign that is a giant Zergling, and a string of “ke’s” would come out of the mouth to celebrate his strikeouts.

You know...
It can be hard telling your wife what Wilkerson plays for the Mariners.
I think it’s the fourth or fifth “fuck” that shuts down the female brain.
four or five "fucks" in one day?
damn, thats impressive
After you've had a kid...
That’s impressive in a week.
aww... they didnt show his singing
I guess they never show the 7th inning stretch
Dear god no...
Anyone who denies bacon can tell me nothing of heaven.
Im not sure how I feel about that
It combines my two favorite things (well foods at least), but it sounds pretty gross at the same time
If you threw those files my way...
I could make it fit a bit better. Noise ninja and oversharpening of the Smurf, plus a motion blur to the M’s logo, could pull it all into something that looked much more natural.
That would dilute the point, of course, but it could be done.
Your second paragraph really nailed it
The enthusiasm was appreciated, but catching yourself was even moreso.
You know what sucks?
Having to leave your beloved (-ly terrible) Seattle Mariners to go take 2 huge friggin Antibiotic pills for your sinus infection.
You know what sucks?
...and now I'm here
Time for Ichiro to tie it up again
Only to lose it in the bottom of the inning
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

But Raul is hitting regardless. Face of the franchise and all.
Yeah, I agree.
We don’t have addtl outfielders anyway. He has to stay in.
...and now I'm here
Do we have anyone on the team to hit?
If we had anyone on the bench who could hit they’d find a spot in the linup.
Well, if we had sane management. And in that case, the team wouldn’t look remotely like this.

happy thoughts
pre-surgery Lowe is a good idea
He corks his bat.
It gives him the power to hit one up the middle into the gap. His problem, though, is that when he tries to take it home, he all too often gets caught in a rundown and loses his hot streak.

Vidro is done
If he plays for us next year… well of course he will play for us next year, thats what happens
So we pinch run Vidro if he makes it to 2nd?

...and now I'm here
Bavasi can't.
Lincoln and Armstrong aren’t going to keep anyone on staff who doesn’t agree blindly with what they say.
Then FUCKING QUIT
You’re a fucking whore if you don’t fucking do any fucking job. If you’re just their fucking puppet, quit the fucking job and get their hands out of his fucking ass.
...and now I'm here
He's pulling a paycheck by just saying "yes" all the time.
Can’t say I blame him.
As long as Lincoln and Armstrong are here, this club is never going to have sustained success.
But that's what makes him a whore.
If Bavasi was not a whore, he would not be a bad GM, and thus he would get a job with a better team and possibly bonuses
Because he is a whore, this is his only job.
Also, I still think he sucks at everything. I don’t think he’s whoring himself, I think these are his poor decisions, the same bad decisions he made with the Angels.
...and now I'm here
It really doesn't matter
the only GMs that are going to be hired here are whores and shills for Armstrong and Lincoln.
That's fine. I'm okay with that statemnt
But Bavasi gets no free pass, nor should any of the blame not be on him. He deserves all the crap he gets for being that whore, even if he was hired for that reason.
...and now I'm here
No one in this organization deserves a free pass.
It’s fucked from top down.
So "Bavasi Can't"
Is really “Bavasi Can, but because he doesn’t, he’s a fucktard.”
...and now I'm here
I'm not going to argue with that.
Every word is true.
You and I get along really well.
I’m glad you’re here.
...and now I'm here
Frankly I can't bring myself to care.
This team will forever be incompetently run.
it was only a mild case of suckitude
he’ll be back
Hilariously ironically we currently have a +8 run differential
I think I’m going to go play FIFA and get drunk. Smurf the world.
poor Krueger, our prophet true

Kreuger was overruled by the producer.

He's going to be the first one fired.
I’m banking on him getting the pink slip June 1st.
No
One of the sub-coaches will fall first – the BP coach if that component continues to hemmorhage (even if the blame can be pinned on Mac’s mgmt skills)

If this season goes south
the field manager will be the first to be fired.
Great call on KJR...guy was hilarious
Calling out “baldy” bavasi….i wish i could copy the whole call. epic stuff
I fucking hate you Mariners
Does this team realize that "Sacrifice flies" are really just a way of saying "Hey, you fucked up, but it's okay we scored."?
Why do they act like popping up is some kind of skill?

Hey!!!
It’s the JEW4YOU!!!!

And we had one friend in common on facebook. I was in!

Well this is something I didn't consider.
Good point.

Heh. Take a look at what Resin isn't Cheating posted over in Baker's blog
“If I had a baseball in the stands I would have hit Brendan Weitzman in the mouth for making a mockery of “Take me out to the ball game.”
To be fair
I’m pretty sure Logan has threatened to kill me at one point or another, so it’s not like this is some sort of shocking revelation.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh man…This guy has a completely irrational hate of statheads, doesn’t he?
Too bad he locked the really good stuff up.
His best work was when he accused Bavasi of mentally abusing Jose Lopez.
The important thing is that I have his email

Bavasi move = bad
Bavasi player = bad
Logan claims to be a Cuban scout, therefore Latin player = good (if it was his idea to play him before he made it into the lineup).
He has long held that Jose Lopez would be the saviour of this franchise, that it was his idea to sign Beltre, and that Betancourt was the FOTF, and that Ichiro is a worthless singles hitter.
His irrational hatred of Ichiro
is hilarious. Even Baker’s bloggers call shenanigans on that.
Dishonest little douche.
Couple of days ago Adam and I brought up Prospect Insider to back up our evaluation of Clement’s defense.
I thought Logie was going to blow a freakin gasket. He was absolutely livid we used PI.
That's because Churchhill embarrassed the shit out of him over there.
He wants to kill DMZ, Chruchhill, and Bavasi. It’s pretty hilarious.
lol
“I will not use sabermetrics, socialize with prospects, rely on unreliable insider information, and the word of anonymous front office executives. As a result scouting reports will not be sugar-coated or clouded.
I am passionate about evaluating players with the use of fundamental scouting techniques and raw baseball statistics you can find on the back of any baseball card.”
They still make baseball cards?
I can confirm this.

Socializing with prospects, lol
ESPN Insider reports that Jeff Clement is a boring guy, and after a few beers, kind of a racist. Sources close to the team also report that Nick Green farts all the time, and he just doesn’t care who is in the room with him, ever.

He didn't practice
He has a background in theater.

Oh my god.
There’s a poster on Baker’s blog who thinks we can trade Burke for Griffey.
There's optimism...
and then there’s whatever that guy is on.

Listen
We’re all on the same team here. We all read each other’s blogs.
Who’s getting sent down for Bedard?
Why does this team make me want to staple my nuts into a saloon door instead of watching them sometimes?
Mariner fans are masochists.
A lot of masochists enjoy torturing themselves in ways as you’ve described.
I was more pissed at the end of this game than I have been in a long time.
More pissed than when Memphis blew a huge lead in the national championship game. More pissed than when the Seahawks blew that big early lead at Green Bay. In fact, I think the last time I was this pissed after watching a sporting event was Super Bowl XL.
I think it’s because it finally sunk in that this team will be exciting to watch once every five days, with ten to fifteen minutes of worthwhile action every other game or so. The only time I felt anything resembling emotion was when Lopez squared to bunt, which caused me to fly into a rather unexpected rage.
If they were terrible and interesting, I’d be okay with that, but they’re mediocre, boring as hell and predictable in the ways in which they are going to piss me off.

I’m not going to lie, the boos and angry words for this sign are starting to taper off. I also wrote “Give us Jeff Clement” on the back of the Bonds sign too. Even common M’s fans on a bobblehead night seemed to side with me more than ever.
