I really am glad Clement's out that's gone RICHIEEE!!!
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Maybe Joh
will get on and Wlad will hit a 2 run shot?
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
FUNK BLAST!!!!!!!
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Great, I click open the new thread and already know that
AWESOME IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel so warm and fuzzy whenever we get a chance to post Richie FB photoshops
It reminds me of a time when Big Richie was our obvious go-to guy for the longball. Seems so, so long ago these days.
you expect JJ
to blow the save?
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Sadly, it has happened before.
Get your JJ Cockpunch photoshops at the ready.
(remember, you set your expectations low so that you can never get truly hurt)
While I'm not expecting it
This will be his first outing since he got nuked and nearly blew that big lead.
I shouldn't be knocking Bavasi since his pops just died...
...but ain’t it just like him to make an utterly inexplicable/inexcusable move for every decent one? I mean WTF? Why now of all times to extend Kenji?
I think we're giving him the benefit of the doubt that this was ownership mandated
but, man those terms suck
Ownership mandated? What, Nintendo demands more Japanese players?
I’m actually not entirely averse to overpaying slightly for Japanese players – I like the Mariners’ international flavor a lot, actually – but at some point it just becomes self-immolatingly stupid. The Sasake extension being my favorite example.
Here's to hoping Richie hits another 100 with us
When Bavasi gives him a 4 year extension (You know it’s happening)
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
The suckfest continues
With Wilkerson eliminated, who will win? Kenji vs. Vidro
Cairo's suckfest "Q rating" is diminished by the fact that he's only a bench player
Only Kenji and Turbo are really in the running here.
By a TON too: He has a .454 OPS
That’s the lowest I’ve seen for a regular for an entire month.
By the way, what would Kenji have to do to get to 100 OPS+ this year?

Assuming the same playing time, 5 months of a 114 OPS+
by Jeff Sullivan on May 1, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Considering last year he was 101 with a line of .287/.322/.433
Then (depending on league averages) wouldn’t he have to hit like .310/.345/.465 the rest the way? I’m just guessing, no math done here.

Here's to hoping Wlad doesn't get the golden sombrero.
Nope, but he nearly killed the pitcher with his bat shards.
That has to scare the shit out of you.

Well, 4 pitch K looking.
All strikes. Not bad, but it’s 1 batter.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
.... 40% of the HRs have occurred in the last 33% of the game in a tiny sample size
surprised? Not at all.
By the way, sometimes I really want my guys to succeed and I offer
money if they do something. (ie. Mike Richards if you score on this PK I’ll send you $20, etc)
I said to Richie right before the pitch that I’d give him $20 if he went yard. So do I pay up, even though he’s banking $15.5 mil? I kind of want to stand by my principle but on the other hand it’s $20 and thats a lot to send to him.
Go Nova
And by donate it to LL
you mean your personal beer fund, yes?
Yeah, that might work
But I was really hoping to eventually be able to send like Yuni or someone $20 as a semi-joke.

thanks
blew that first attempt
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
JJs mentality makes him a great closer
Not the 98 mph fastball or splitter
it's his large intestines!
they are made of win!
I'd rather face the White Sox then the Indians in the playoffs.
That’s the reason. Really. >_>

on second thought
just keep throwing splitters. no fast balls, unless they are way out the strike zone.
Woo?
A strikeout! This is progress..yes, this is progress.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
If we were Indians fans we 'd be roasting Blake on a stick right now.
Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.
he has to, he can't pitch a fastball for a strike
or blow anyone away with his 93 mph crap, cept hafner with the “high heat”
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
Has he ever thrown this many splitters?
He has 0 fastball.
I'll regret saying this eventually
But fuck you, JJ.

warm up dickey, this could go awhile.
oh wait
anyway, I’ll give Putz some credit got getting out of that jam that he got himself into… with a shitty fastball and no command. But fuck, man, fuck.

Heh, Baseball Tonight says No Worries!
“JJ Putz is back but looks a little rusty still and a lot of guys in the Mariners bullpen are in different roles than they’re used to, I think once JJ knocks the rust off he’ll be fine.” – Chris Singleton, Baseball Tonight
(Kinda paraphrased a bit)

The highlight of Chris Singleton's career
was getting plunked during a Red Sox-DRays beanball war and nearly charging the mound before he was held back.
I remember last year there was a big love/hate relationship with this team.
This year it’s pretty much hate so far.
