That can be signed for the league minimum.

So I have no cable TV thus I have KOMO radio
and Rizzs has a kid in the booth. No wonder there’s so many pedo jokes about him. I didn’t know he was doing this regularly.
Didn't Jeff do an Evil Rick Rizzs convo once?
Where is that link?
I hate that
Does anyone actually want to listen to that? The kids don’t even seem to care most of the time
Doesn't work.

And the inning is over so Rizzs threw the kid out ASAP
That was interesting. I’m torn between figuring Rizzs a pedo and figuring him as a dick for railroading that kid out so quickly.

So Jeff Passan as a writer has his value, both positive and negative
Among other ideas, he proposes allowing teams to ‘draft’ their interleague opponents. What do people think of this? I find it intriguing.
I read that. His WARP went up to 5 or so. Writing Above Replacement Piece.

Sorry guys...
I turned on the game just before Bedard started to suck.

Have a look at recent ballpark splits in other parks
He was horrible early in his carreer in Texas...
But i bet he would put up top 8 or so 1B #’s at this point… With how poor the postion is right now, and how much PETCO kills his power #’s, his #’s would get a healthy jump in a neutral park. His away splits theis year, .327 .355 .606 with a .961 OPS.
Hey Michael Young made a Web Gem.
HE’S SO UNDERRATED.

mariners games remind me of meatloaf songs
they start off with potential and then you realize it’s going to be a long fucking song. and you are going to lose minutes of your life while it’s on
fuck you meatloaf

After the love comes a darkness in hell,
A demon inside you like a bottomless well
Nothing is safe and everything is a lie
Love doesn’t last, no matter how hard you try
Burnin’, burnin’, through your brain

I took some pancho on a camping trip one time and I also ate some fire hot doritos
Things were coming out every orifice 2 hours later, I vowed to never drink tequila again.
Suffice to say I still drink it, vowing never to down it again every time.
In my younger days,,,
I woke up on back to back nights on the roof half naked with a chick i didn’t know the next morning. For some reason now that im going to get married, Tequila isnt quite as entertaining.
San Diego's 326 team strikeouts is 2nd in the NL to Florida
These are the only two teams with 300+ team Ks.
This is comical...
M’s can’t even win dominant pitching performances.
If I didn't love this team,
I would spot-start every single pitcher facing the Mariners.
(I don’t think this comment is against the rules because it’s not about my fantasy team and more just a standard LL-style insult.)
You'd be surprised.
A/C is not standard around here. I just bought one for my apartment, but for three years I didn’t have it.
San Diego is cooler than other parts of SoCal, though.
That's bullshit.....
that’s a job lost for an American!
I want to talk smack about that's spring weather in Vegas
But being out in this shit for 2 hours destroyed me today so I have no right to talk.
GO GO GO GO GO!!!
ICHIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahaha....
that was an awful baserunning decision….
Lucky as a mofo there.
Humm....I got a good one for 3 shots,,,,

If this is to riske, please remove it. I think the tequila is effecting my brain to keyboard function
I've been burned on that deal before
I don’t like turning off the filter, too many pictures of people pooping on eachother and vomiting and such. Me no likey
Power swing Beltre...
Can’t tell if this is a strikeout at bat or a homerun at bat yet…

So then I guess Beltre in the two spot will illogically continue.
A bloop and a blast? Ichiro’s hit was a rocket.
Oh WTF???
If that pitch is a strike Meredith should pitch 200 scoreless innings.
Anyone else see...
The scoreboard saying Meredith had not allowed an earned run in his last ten appearances? I know I saw that.
