Go Rays!
Oh, wait, I just read that was a no no.
...and now I'm here
I stand by my decision to no longer be that invested.
But these games aren’t very high on entertainment value either. They go pretty slow and generally fall apart at the end.
...and now I'm here
I would argue that this has incredible entertainment value for A's fans
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 27, 2008 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions
I was thinking that, actually
And I’m not sure. You may be right. I’m not invested in the A’s either. But at the same time, this isn’t the most exciting comeback. It’s just… you know… good.
...and now I'm here
Considering what Felix looked like this is pretty great for them

Yeah, you're right, that's a good point.
Winning against Felix has to be a thrill.

What do you expect, it's typical AL baseball
These games are getting ridiculously long.

Shoulda pulled Felix after the first walk.
Not that it would have helped.
Favor the Bold
Shouldda pulled the plug after the first walk.
For Felix. And Morrow.
Favor the Bold
I don't think it matters.
Offense should’ve scored more runs. Not to mention the bullpen hasn’t exactly been lights out.

McLaren and Bavasi should both be sacked and raped by the Iron Sheik after this one.

I would have pulled Felix when he walked the first guy.
His PC was already over 100 by that stage, including quite a few high leverage situations.

Just sayin’

Your favorite meme is dead
Well the Rainiers game sucked
so at least I have the end of Felix Day to look forward ok what the FUCK
It would be nice not to need to hold a team to 1 run every game just to win.
4 runs wouldn’t be a bid deal if we… you know… had offense.
...and now I'm here
Glad I spent
most of my time watching Nascar instead of this game…..

Great.
Nothing like the absurdity of striking out on a pitch above Richie’s head to drive the point home.

you should start with hoping he actually gets the bat on the ball first.

their draft kinda sucked

I said 'kinda' sucked
I fucking hate you Mariners
Like their last 3 drafts?
We didn’t get Laws or Brohm or anything, but I’m not about to say that it “sucked” purely because we reached for players we didn’t expect Ruskell to grab. I can’t find anything overly sucky about it.
I'll say it now since Felix day is ruined

Street's windup
Where he moon-walks off the pitching rubber… seems suspicious.
I like how only Felix shows emotion..no one else seems to care
I fucking hate you Mariners
well fuck all, we lose
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Man, Felix was fucking pissed in that dugout shot
Slamming his glove into the bench like 5 times
1-2 punch bonding moment.
Felix slams his glove a bunch of times. Bedard’s like, “offense sucks, it’s all good, man”

Fuck everything

I'd just like to say
This is all your fault Wilkerson.
Felix wasn't all that good today.
10 baserunners in seven innings, the hits were line drives, couldn’t find the strike zone when he needed to.
Yeah, the offense was bad as usual, but it’s not like they wasted an amazing start.

Save for the 8th inning
That was a better-than-average Felix start. Hard to call 7.0 innings, 4 hits, 10 strikeouts of shutout ball “Not good”.
The 8th inning is part of the start, though
McLaren shares the blame for leaving him in too long, but you have to judge the entire start, not just part of it. Overall, it’s a decent start, not a great one.

You were talking about the seven innings though.
He was quite good those seven innings. And those “line drive” hits featured.
- Single to right.
- Single to center.
- Single to center.
- Infield single to catcher.
Three of those hits came in one innings.
Yes, you have to judge the entire start but even then, calling it just decent doesn’t make much sense to me. It’s like using ERA to judge overall performance. It doesn’t tell the whole story.
This was probably his best start of the season until the 8th (An inning which even Felix ends up giving credit to A’s for making adjustments). Quite a shame too.
No, I was talking about hiw whole start
which totaled seven innings since he only got 21 outs.

Another reason McLaren is a bad manager
For I swear like the 10th time this season, he sends his starter out with a high pitch count and does not start warming someone up after they’ve put the leadoff runner on base.
It makes no sense, Felix was at around 100 pitches after he walked the lead-off man in the 8th; there is no reason to not start at least warming someone up then. Then if Felix gives up another baserunner you’ll have someone ready to replace him before too much damage has been done, and if he doesn’t you’ve still got your guy warmed up to come in in the next inning. But no, instead he waits until Felix has put the second guy on with nobody out (and with Felix visibly fatigued) before he even starts warming up Morrow, meaning Felix has to face TWO MORE BATTERS with a 105+ pitch count and men on second and third with no outs while our pitcher gets ready. So he walks Barton to load the bases and his pitch count is over 110, yet what do you know, Morrow isn’t ready yet, Felix has to stay in long after he clearly needs to come out.
This has happened so many times this year, it’s really starting to piss me off, McLaren does not plan ahead at all for these possibilities, he just sits there and waits for a disaster to get dumped on him then reacts way too late.
Wait 'til 2009!
The M’s should go nuts and sign Dunn and Teixeira for one last valiant push for playoffs. Did anybody see Nintendo’s last quarterly report? It’s not like NoA is hurting for cash. Then, burdened with massive contracts for the next three to five years, we can watch Ichiro wilt away at the end of his Hall of Fame career and lament Dunn’s transformation into Richie Sexson 2.0.
This should set the team back five to ten years and let Felix walk through Free Agency.
Fun times to be had by all!
no on Dunn
no no no no no no no no no no no no
Off-day tomorrow!
Then again, House tomorrow!

I’m going to try and score the ep early via hulu or torrent
Torrents are proof that even an angry God has a little soft spot for humans
If you want I can send you a series of text messages that ruin the episode before you get to watch.
by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 27, 2008 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions
I already couldn't help myself
and checked the episode summary on wikipedia. They have them filled out for the rest of the season. Be forewarned if you try to go there to find out episode dates. I was dissappointed a bit.
Anyways, what would the text messages be?
9:02pm: Jeff to Matthew – House insults someone
9:05pm: Jeff to Matthew – Cameron is weak
9:13pm: Jeff to Matthew – Foreman acts like House
9:15pm: Jeff to Matthew – Someone thinks it’s lupus!
9:22pm: Jeff to Matthew – House insults someone
9:24pm: Jeff to Matthew – House is wrong about something
9:29pm: Jeff to Matthew – Wilson lectures House
9:30pm: Jeff to Matthew – House insults Wilson
9:34pm: Jeff to Matthew – House is wrong about something
9:38pm: Jeff to Matthew – House makes a passing insult about Cuddy
9:44pm: Jeff to Matthew – 13 acts mysterious
9:47pm: Jeff to Matthew – House is wrong
9:55pm: Jeff to Matthew – House insults Wilson
9:59pm: Jeff to Matthew – House gets it right!!!! (It wasn’t lupus)

I think this is the seldom-seen Perfect Comment.
I don’t even know how to respond, except by saying that the fact that we enjoy House probably explains why we get along with Graham.

That is absolute genius
and the amazing thing about House is that even though that’s the template for every damn ep it’s still well worth watching.

any long term romance would kill the show. But a 3 or 4 ep story arc? Fits perfectly.
Dunn is, like, collapsing before Cincinnati's eyes right now
The only thing he’s got right now, aside from power when he does manage to make contact, is an astounding walk rate.
