PrintNext to the phantom tag at second base, that rule about making an attempt to avoid a beanball is the least enforced rule in the game. Kudos to Jason Giambi's fat sorry ass for knowing this ahead of time and taking advantage.

I know I'm really late on this, but
I’m trying to remember the last time Baseball Prospectus DIDN’T think the Angels were overachieving. Saying Baseball Prospectus thinks the Angels are overachievers who will regress to the mean any day now is like saying the sun will rise in the east tommorow.

I know, but I'm just saying I don't remember having looked at the
adjusted standings and seeing the Angels underachieving. It’s possible I’m mistaken, but I think their adjusted standings have consistently said the Angels should have done worse every year for atleast the past 4.

Meh
I’m quite contrarian in nature, but I’m not the only one who thinks Trigun is a confusing series.
I’m not saying it’s not worth sitting down and watching because it’s still fun and has it’s good points, but putting it amongst the other good to great anime like Escaflowne, Evangelion, All of Miyazaki’s works, Planetes, etc… it just looks worse.

I wouldn't say that
It’s just highly criticized, and rightfully so. A lot of Eva’s problems are more related to things outside the show itself.

Why does no one believe me
when I say Derek Jeter sucks?
It makes me feel better to think he sucks.
Why must you make me cry, Jeff?
he's not
but they have his introduction of Jeter recorded so they play it whenever he comes to the plate.

Sheppard isn't at Yankee Stadium today.
Probably won’t be for a while.
With Sexson and Vidro off the books the Mariners will be able to sign M-Tex
About 20M right there, am I right?
Including Kenji we'll drop over 30 million this offse--OH FUCK EVERYTHING

We need that money

no but on the bright side
it means Vidro’s not available to pinch hit for Clement or Wlad if they get that far in the 9th.

PH for burke

Because it's completly unacceptable for Burke to take a walk
He must be disciplined.
Shame on you.
Vidro has enough money to get hookers.
hmmm... I see a hot dog

The difference between a Burke out and a Vidro out
One of them brings us 1 PA closer to having Vidro with us again next year.

Ahahah
YES showed our boxscore, because they know as well as we do our offensive night is over.
Okay, as much as that failed miserably
That’s exactly the role Vidro SHOULD have been used in.

ICHIRO HURTS THIS TEAM

yeah Derek, jump for that ball 30 feet over your head
what a gamer.
Jose Lopez really need to hit a HR.
it’s been way too long.
I wanna see Jason Ellison

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sang that song in my head when I read that
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Don't hate on dance

For some reason
this song just segued into “In the Air Tonight” in my head.
If Jeter makes that catch I'll say he deserves his GGs
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.

Hey Jose, take the first pitch
and please, please don’t pretend you might swing.
...and now I'm here
Hmmm
I bet McSquinty does a switch to DH for Vidro and Clement moves to C. It will make him feel smart.
Not possible
Can’t move the DH off DH without making the pitcher have to hit.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Nope.
If you move someone DHing into a fielding position, you lose the DH.
Yeah, if you make your DH a fielder at any point the pitcher has to hit.

Jabba's mass blocked Ichiro's view.

Remember back when Jose was willing to take ball four?
Oh, three weeks ago.

I don't remember that.
His walk rate hasn’t changed, he’s just seeing more pitches

MLB.tv headline
“Tribe bumps Gutierrez to no. 2 hole”
DUDE
NOBODY ELSE NOTICED THAT STOLEN BASE?
Please tell me someone got a picture of the position Ichiro was in, getting up, and how Cano was positioned himself.
I can’t believe I’m the only one who noticed it.
does it seem to anyone else
that the other team always seems to foul off good pitches in 0-2 counts alot more often then the Mariners do allowing the hitter to stay alive?
Midnight Baseball - No Lights - Only in Alaska!
don't beat around the bush
give me your opinions, you were so vague with your response….. heh

Yes, you are correct in your assumptions and I agree with your opinion.
Better?

Unless you think RRS
looks like your creepy next door neighbor who’d give you a dollar to sit on his lap when you were growing up, no.
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
Woah, I'd save that one for the therapist.
I mean psychiatrist.
My next door neighbor
is a hot ass coed, so that doesn’t exactly apply for me.
true
but it probably applies to her.

You're right.
They weren’t spraying hits up the middle.

Took a funny picture on Vaca in SF.
I just found it while going through photos. Do you think they’ve taken these down yet?
Well he only needs to throw about no pitches till there's nothing left.

Nice sinker there.
Man I hate this team so much.
Yesterday's Pants

I was close
our pitchers yield a 160 OPS+ (split) on 0-2 counts.
If only we had the starting pitching we have now...
... last year, when our offense was more or less acceptable.
Fuck that camera man
he sucks at his job
Hmm... Needs more Bonds.
This would make me really mad if I wasn't expecting it.
Now I just take my Bedard jersey off, hope to see a few players I like get hits in the 9th, and play some GTA IV without feeling anything.

Less boring
Plus, slim hope of mounting a comeback
Bonds will not play in MLB again
its not just the M’s that won’t sign him…. there’s a bunch of teams that could use his offense but no team is going there with him… fair or unfair.

It amazes me how much we won last year
With the ballclub arguable worse than this year (with the SP)
You know what has to suck.
Getting called up to a team with a struggling offense where the 2 of the first 3 pitchers you face are undefeated.
