You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Boy am I glad I spent the weekend out of town.

The 2008 Seattle Mariners: [COATHANGERS] and [FECAL MATTER] since late April.

In an ideal world

Ichiro, Lopez, and Beltre all succeed and we still lose.

Hey, we're the home team!

Why don’t we just bat Ichiro and Beltre back to back all the way down the lineup and use ghost runners when they get on?

I've obviously missed a meme.

What is up with this “Home team” stuff?

by BrianL on May 11, 2008 2:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Someone wrote a diary

Asking why certain American League teams don’t do away with the DH when at home, and why certain National League teams, like the Rockies, don’t use the DH more often for their home games.

Ghost runners would be amazing.

We’d need to sign Casper though. He’s got great wheels

Go skipper!

That would have been awesome if he ran out there, ignored the ump, and just squinted at the bag for ten seconds in silence, and ran back to the dugout.

but the M’s haven’t blown one late in a while so they’re going to try something new today.

God, i really wanted Clement to get called up

and immediately start crushing the ball.

someone needs to blindfold him or drag him to the clubhouse
during the Vidro/Bloomquist/Cairo at bats/abortions.

by lyleleander on May 11, 2008 3:00 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I wanted him to, too...

But then I woke up and realized that every time he climbed up a rung, it took him awhile to get going. So, I sorta expected him to take some time to adjust.

Note to self

Avoid Safeco from 5/26 to 5/28.

by BrianL on May 11, 2008 3:04 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

My worst ever Safeco experience came at the hands of Red Sox Nation.

Yuni hit a home run against the Sox, couple of their fans sitting behind me decided to take their anger out on me. Both gave me a beer bath for some odd reason.

Yeah I am not at all a fan of their fans

Shit if one of them poured their beer on me I would probably snap

Not that you would have...

but i’m pretty sure spitting or throwing drinks in someone’s face is like third degree assault.

So you could have, if you so desired, called the police.

Eh I had the ushers remove them.

Didn’t feel like associating with them further.

I love how Sims was calling for Mariners fans to fill the stadium

I’m surprised no one else gave him props for that.

I cannot honestly criticize McLaren for using Rhodes

If Rhodes were unable to strikeout hitters, I’d hate it. But really, he’s been pretty decent.

by kentroyals5 on May 11, 2008 3:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's probably no

otherwise you can just induce the run/down and the runner will always score.

by lyleleander on May 11, 2008 3:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No...go tag the base..force out.

But if the player chases and ends up tagging the guy, it’s not a force out and maybe the run counts.

by kentroyals5 on May 11, 2008 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, but then there's an unfair

inequity between that happening at third and second…
as there are two fielders close to second instead of one.

what a conundrum.

by lyleleander on May 11, 2008 3:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think it does

I’ve seen similar scenarios before and they’ve counted the run.
