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.
The artist formerly known as Katal
Also, Bill Simmons' podcast with Joe Sheehan is pretty good
A lot of stats talk and why people who say that stats suck are morons
Go Nova
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?
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.

He, Swisher and another dude are doing it for Mother's Day/Breast Cancer Awareness

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.

THAT WAS A BAD CALL
Send that fuckwad bush league ump back where he came from
OMG
a lead?
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
This is like the 3rd time we've come back from down 2 runs..
At any point in the game. Ew.
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
Go Nova
:(
We’re not even good at being terrible

Loafie does good things at the plate
when he ignores Jeff Pentland.
Clement has quite an eye
Please don’t trade for Griffey please don’t trade for Griffey please don’t trade for Griffey
Joe's Tracer
gives me a mental image of Michael J. Fox playing darts.
I don't much care for the NBA
but Kobe and the Lakers suffering makes me smile.
So this Howell guy on TB
is doing pretty well. It’s too bad we never wanted him. Like if only someone had written about him…
Go Nova
What the hell
why does the FOXBOX say SEA 3 CHI 2?? The other team is supposed to have the bigger number.
Pop goes the buttsy on the left hand side!!
Technical difficulties.
The AV crew is working on it.
Even the Seattle Times
has waived the white flag on the M’s….. no blog updates or game thread for today.
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
No Wlad.
No bunting. You are not allowed to do this.
"It's stuck underneath the cushion"
that’s what she said
yeah for pussy hits!
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Especially since Millwood went on the DL today
so kiss that opportunity goodbye.
That can fixed.
The worst part is I distinctly remember photoshopping in the 11.

nope
just temporarily leading.

That's more than they've done all week
I hear that teams that finish games with the lead actually win them. Y/N?
Yes
but the M’s haven’t blown one late in a while so they’re going to try something new today.

Also
Cairo starting at 1B: Way to come up with a contingency plan for the Richie suspension, you losers.
Part of me is thankful their not giving extra ABs to Vidro.
A larger part of me wants to strangle someone for allowing Cairo to be on the roster.
Dear Floyd,
Regression to the mean sucks, doesn’t it.
Signed,
Jarrod Washburn, Miguel Batista, and Carlos Silva.

Dear Jose
You’ve been doing well today. Pulling the ball really suits you! Could you try that again soon?
Signed,
Everyone but Jeff Pentland and Squinty
Damn!

I HATE BEING A MARINER FAN
FUCKW_@)
I fucking hate you Mariners
BURN IT DOWN!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Worst legacy in baseball too
Fucking savannah of a left field.
Ibanez moves with all the elegant grace of a wildebeast too
by Graham MacAree on May 11, 2008 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Isn't it going to be great
when we have Ibanez and Griffey as our corner outfielders? Fucking awesome.
Oh shut up
It’s a fucking Tits start. I’m grasping for some excitement.
Or went down on the Pink Panther
I fucking hate you Mariners
Dave Sims always gets worked up
on a fly ball to left.
You know what would be hilarious?
A Kenji funk blast.
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.
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.

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
I like the team and they way they operate
I hate their fans. I loathe and despise their fans.
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.
Yeah, way to go
Congratulations on your restraint, too.
I love how Sims was calling for Mariners fans to fill the stadium
I’m surprised no one else gave him props for that.
And NOW you get someone up in the bullpen..awesome
I fucking hate you Mariners
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.
strikeout
redeemed.

Why do we let our starters shit themselves before we take them out?
I fucking hate you Mariners
Squinty naps in the dugout.
Relievers get late warmups as a result.
there were only 2 people standing
in that video….

two guys standing = standing ovation
for Miguel? hahahaha
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
Well Arthur
feel free to fuck me up the ass for doubting you.
If he didn't apply the tag before the runner home scored
would that have counted?
If the runner scored before he actually tags him, does it count?
It wasn’t a force out.
I fucking hate you Mariners
I beat you...get it right.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Yes/No? No one knows?
I fucking hate you Mariners
It's a damn interesting question though.
I fucking hate you Mariners
It's probably no
otherwise you can just induce the run/down and the runner will always score.
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.
I fucking hate you Mariners
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.
I think it's a vegetable.
I fucking hate you Mariners
4:30 start tomorrow
excellent. I don’t have to break the speed-limit to catch the game in time.
Paint Miguel Cairo yellow...
and you’ve got the bad guy from Sin City
You could be a part-time model...but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job
I'm going to destroy Safeco Field
I fucking hate you Mariners
Fuck you Safeco Field >:(
Beltre is getting screwed.
I wonder if this makes him less likely to re-sign here?
He has to be aware of it.

Not only that
these guys talk to their friends around the league about shit like this.
So how does Oakland get guys like Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley?
McAfee Cavern has the same problem, but to all fields.
There's a lot of white people in Utah.
I mean, like, the whole entire audience. White.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
People keep talking about Utah...
What’s happening down there? Some basketball game?
Question
Omar Vizquel really isn’t that good of a shortstop anymore, is he? His range has to have vanished by now.
Release Clement
I fucking hate you Mariners
i really dislike Orlando Cabrera
The Mariners are a good reason why i believe Karma dosent exist.
Mariners= humanitarian team but get terrible luck
Even if this were true
Garland sucks and Cabrera is good defensively at a premium position. I just can’t fathom the thought process that went into that decision.

Well done.
Although, to be fair, using a lyric from a Germs song as a rallying cry is kind of cool.

I hope so.
But I kinda’ doubt it.
