Seriously.

We should have kept Adam Jones as collateral
We’ll develop him, and when you’re ready to contend Baltimore, you can have him.

Is Erik's command off in addition to his slight loss in velocity?
I can’t see the game, so is he being squeezed or is he not commanding his FB.

Im just glad the rangers have stopped playing the Fox Baseball theme in between outs.
Pop goes the buttsy on the left hand side!!
Pezzer keeps doing things to make casual fans like him more.
I kind of don’t like it.
NEEDS LESS SUCK
I wasn't in the other thread so apologies if it's been stated
but has everyone heard about Asdrubal Cabrera’s unassissted triple play?
the other angels fan
No?
But I can bet it will be SC’s #1 play tonight…

I know that...
I was trying to think of a quick comparison based on talent, without the starter or reliever distinction. I guess it’d be fair to say Bavasi wouldn’t make that same trade.
But Richie is suspended right now.

Holy fuck, where the did that ball land??
GameCast has it off the map, literally
That guy is incredible. Did everyone read that article on him getting heckled
by asshole fans all the time on ESPN?
Yeah, I didn't it was his best work
I’d much rather see and Ankiel or Grienke story than a Hamilton story, to be honest

repost.....
20mph winds SSW…26mph gust
Not good, Texas was alot of warning track powert hat will get out with this type of wind
Quick, somebody check the receipt.
We need an extended warranty on the trade.
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
Yeah, but he can't repeat it at all. His arm consistency is awful.
That homer Hamilton crushed? 88mph. :/
He isn’t repeating his throwing motion at all and has no command either. Unless he is purposfully pitching around Brandon Boggs. And in that case he needs to grow some balls.
You know what is going to be more enjoyable than this?
A beer festival.
I’ll be back for House.
Bedard doesn't look like he wanted to pitch today
Or does he always look so ‘meh’ on the mound?
I fucking hate you Mariners
Soooooo he'll miss his next start with hip inflammation, no?

Or am I thinking of another medical drama…

How much of this is related to the ridiculously small strike zone?
I say 400%

I don't like Boston either
but you have to admit LeBron is pretty bad. I can’t believe he’s still the one dimensional offensive player my boss and I debated about 6 years ago.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
"puts out"
heh
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
We're boned
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
Holy fuck this game is pissing me off
NEEDS LESS SUCK
Talk about an off night
Well to be fair he’s only had one other bad start, and in that one he didn’t give up many runs.
Lebron almost got destroyed again..rough fouls
I fucking hate you Mariners
and fuck the mariners
I fucking hate you Mariners
Is the wind blowing out?
Wind blowing out + Ameriquest + Small strike zone = 17-14 M’s loss.

Probably because he's kind of a shitty pitcher
Not horrible, but let’s just say he’s not my first choice for rotation filler.
Hopefully he improves enough that we can get some decent prospects at the deadline.
At least we don't have Zito's contract.
So, yeah..I should have known by now but..
kind of assumed we would win with a 5 spot in the first inning and our “ace” pitching.
Someone should throw up that cockpunch picture.
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand!
You know, for the German Duran AB…. forget it.

Bedard and Felix were supposed to be our Unit and Schilling
Ibanez was our LuGo. It’s a clusterfrak of a death spiral now. Somebody turn out the lights.

Only a woman who you don't have to pay for sex.
Maybe buy them a drink, stick a roofie and bam. Not that I ever have to resort to that of course.
60-100 Top Ramen Oodles N Noodles
Depending on where you live.
That would require that Bedard speak words
by Jeff Sullivan on May 12, 2008 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions
He's got "yes" and "no" down pretty good.
Too bad he didn’t focus more on “strike” and “out”
Offense
Don’t we do this all the time? Have an early big inning and then get like 2 hits the rest of the game? What’s up with that crap?
I fucking hate you Mariners
But when we do.
I fucking hate you Mariners
But last year we did this and very early in the year we did too
Scored 3-5 runs early then fell asleep till we fell behind late.

Has to be Yuni’s Double Play victim, and Wlad is the least likely to a single on the team.
I was going to correct you, but...
Yuni has 5 GIDP already this year. Previous totals:
2007: 10
2006: 10
What happened to the Yuniwheels?

Apparently Jim Knox is in terrific shape
I bet he uses that line on all the high schoolers he sits with.
God damn these announcers make me hate the world
“There’s almost no way to measure how far a home run would have gone.”
Except for physics, asstards… Check out hit tracker…
In the name of the Bedard, the Felix, and the Ichiro, amen.
I think the things you'd want to fuck
would be far outweighed by the things you didn’t want to fuck.

You'll see it, I'm sure.
Got ejected, got in the umpire’s face, took off all his gear and left in on home plate, yelled some more, walked away.

Asdrubal triple play???
Which veteran presence did we get for him again?
the Mariners defeated the White Sox 9-0.

If I fail to get my chem degree I can always go into journalism
Eduardo Perez #33 of the Seattle Mariners waves his helmut to the crowd after tripping and falling down and being tagged out by A.J. Pierzynski of the Chicago White Sox on September 21, 2006 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois.
wow..almost Yuni..wow

Every strike is sacred
Especially so with our staff
Fuck Lopez, hold on to that one.
