man Bedard is dealing
not Striking as many people out as he should but looking at that GB/FB out ratio is making me smile.
So who do we want to see pitching the 7th?
I say Hyphen.
Who do we think Squinty will go get? I say Green.
by Gomez on Apr 26, 2008 7:43 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Bedard has given up 9 hits in 17 innings
Albert 3 HR and a ridiculous BABIP. But whatever.
He's like a big strong Edgar Martinez with gold glove defense
I think you’d like him.

It's wierd to actually
want to see Morrow come out of the bullpen next inning.
Oh, and fuck that guy from THT. Hip labrum tear my ass.
That's gonna be a Duece.
Well said Sims.

If by fired you mean...
Invited over here, then yes. She’s fired.

Not so much
I knew a girl from my old work who used to be ball girl for the M’s. Apparently Yuni had asked her out.
aren't ballplayers not supposed to do that?
or is that basketball players and dance teams?
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
I am not sure, she told me to keep it a secret
I think it was when they were in Baltimore a year ago, so she said she would know when he gets back. I guess nothing happened, since she is in college in SoCal. Also apparently the ball players, including “family-friendly” Ibanez, spread rumors that she had sex with some of the ball players. She said it was not true, and they were a-holes. I don’t know what to take from it, I prefer not to make judgement.
two hits out of the DH slot

Yeah if he's not gonna hit for power...
He should lose the weight and be defense Yuni again.
Yeah...
Yuni’s was chosen because it said “Cuba” a lot. Good enough reason for me.
Haha.
They use the player’s name when they comment except for Johjima. Maybe they should just be straight forward and say “translator’s comment.”
Also, I hate the reasoning behind Raul’s and Yuni’s songs.
I think it's pretty common for fans to be irritated as to how little thought players put into their walkup songs
I think any good fan has lost a lot of sleep thinking about what would be their walkup song.
Amon Amarth – The Beheading of a King would be my walkup – but I would make sure to keep Felix in the clubhouse when they played it.
by Jordan of Boise on Apr 26, 2008 8:28 PM PDT up reply actions
I prefer when the players make the selections.
But for Raul’s and Yuni’s, they didn’t make the selection. The stupid people in the booth did.
Also, my song would be the guitar solo at the beginning of
“Good Enough” – Honor By August
Or maybe “The Kids Aren’t Alright” – The Offspring
I don't know his walk-up music
but when he singles they play “Whine Up” and when he gets extra-base hits they play “I Like The Way You Move”.
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 26, 2008 8:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Should we be worried about Ichiro doing that shit.
He seems to be doing it a ton this year.
so Yuni proves it for him.

I am actually excited to see Morrow
If he pitches
Me too...
if it’s 2 years from now and he’s starting
pretty good
probably be better if the font matched up a little better
damn
and I’m so lazy…
Well then disregard my comments… I Love it
Uhm, a nice jump on it?
He moved about 5 steps to his left
Even when Raul makes a decent play...
he looks bad doing it.
That was a queer camera angle.
They’re not seriously letting that little shit actually do this are they?

Mark Kiger's season line as of this morning: 205/354/295
So shut up about his 9 game hitting streak, FSN.
What the fuck does Jeff Clement need to do to be called up
Could his bat be any more ready?
They don't want to disrupt the chemistry...
that Vidro brings to the lineup.
Jeff you know all about chemistry, help explain.
You need to balance the light and heavy elements
removing Vidro swings the balance too far to the left.

You can just freeze that in place.

Yeah but he's very overrated.
His batting average isn’t good, and he hasn’t had 100 RBIs since the steroid year in LA. He’s a one-year wonder and is probably the worst contract in the AL.

Jose Vidro Who?
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Nice hit
but Clement just got another 2 months in Tacoma
No save for Putz.
My fantasy team is mildly disappointed.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
I just hope Norton continues to be awesome
so we can flip him for an uberprospect to a national league team at the deadline
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
He wouldn't go to the National League being a DH.
Also, it’s Vidro who needs to be traded or released at the deadline. Norton is the best move Bavasi made this offseason.
That's just not true
It FREQUENTLY happens, but not USUALLY
Also, explain Dave Hansen/Lenny Harris/much of Greg Norton’s career thus far/etc
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
Two of the greatest pinch hitters of all time
Usually = more than 50% of the time
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
So what is frequently eqaul???
And “greatest pinch hitters of all time” is such a ridiculous debate. Mark Sweeney would have his name thrown in there and we won’t remember who he is in 5 years.
Frequently = less than 50% of the time but still a good amount
That’s beside the point though. I don’t care who the greatest PHs of all time are, I’m just saying that guys who can’t really play defense and aren’t good enough hitters to be starting DHs frequently find themselves PHing in the NL
Determined, Jonesing Commentor

OT: Watching the Dodgers -Rocks game,
Plate Umpire Kerwin Danley was knocked out cold by a 96mph fastball by Brad Penny and passed the glove of Russell Martin, hit Danley in the neck under his face mask. They just took him out in an ambulance on the field. I’ve never seen that happen before.
Glad to see the Mariners doing better!

i love the uncensored episodes
The actual Vern Fonk is dead
He was an insurance salesman, and his chain of insurance places is still going today. But these guys have been doing commercials for him since forever.
They were doing them even well before he died
I’m still not exactly sure what the premise is for these guys doing these commercials for Vern Fonk in the first place.
Also, needless to say, the Vern Fonk guy in the commercials isn’t him.
Though the nature of wins, ERA, and sample size are all against this being relevant
It’s nice to say our Top 3 are 7-0 with a 2.19 ERA combined.
I'm really starting to believe
Felix will be the Cy Young winner this year. If he has mastered that changeup as well as he has shown so far there is no contest, he could be the best pitcher in baseball with such command of that pitch. Lefties do not stand a chance against him with that and he already owns righties, so it is completely unfair to any hitter to face him.
Of course, Bedard may end up in the top 10 as well, tonight gave me some serious hope. This season isn’t over yet, as crappy as our offense is.
Not if his record is 7-0
The BBWAA only understands W-L and ERA, and you have to have both… no matter how lights out Felix is (and he definitely is), he’s a victim of shitty offense
