Only thing I can think of
Is that they had this planned already before today, so they use Baek again in back to back games knowing it isn’t a big issue and the results be damned.

He pretty clearly didn't have a role on this team
We’re no worse off without him, but I do hope he’s able to land somewhere with a team willing to give him an extended look in the rotation. He deserves that chance.

I agree but not
I didn’t have a problem hanging onto Baek, but with the 7 man bullpen we’re obsessed with keeping around, he was virtually pointless.
I agree that he should have all the chances in the world with someone else. Christ if Kyle Lohse can find work, Baek can.

Baek just isn't a bullpen guy
he needs to be starting to have any value, and since he wasn’t about to go back to Tacoma, this is the only option. For two months he’s served no real purpose.

Yknow, with the obvious difference between the leagues
I often wonder why it’s so much harder to put together a good team in the NL… just take a few AL 5th starter throwaways and you’ve got magic in the making!

Thanks Wikipedia!
In 2002 he celebrated the first anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by allegedly hooking up with a 16-year old girl who worked at the concession stand at Angel Stadium. Washburn was investigated by local authorities in Los Angeles for this incident, which his wife did not enjoy.

As an eight-year Major League veteran who had just completed what he thought was a great season (8 wins), he felt he deserved a lucrative multi-year contract. The Angels, however, were a smart team and were not interested in making such an expensive commitment to a shitty pitcher like Washburn.

This was actually my first idea.
I was going to take the LADIES… picture and put “Little” in front of it on a Washburn picture. Second idea was to paste Washburn’s face onto Pedobear.
But then I found that above picture of Washburn and I just thought… “oh god, this is too easy”. The real clincher was finding that picture of the little girl. I don’t know who she is, but I just want to say that whomever you are, I am sorry that you are forever associated with Jarrod Washburn and pedophilia and I hope that you have a long and rich life free of Jarrod Washburn and pedophilia.

At least Bavasi can do one thing well.

As much as I despise Bavasi the General Manager, I can’t deny he’s a good person. The team doesn’t get any worse without Baek, and now both him and Dickey have the opportunity to be happy and contribute to ML clubs.

I'm not saying that he's a good GM, you're twisting my words.
The point I’m trying to make is that it is possible to be happy for someone.
Baseball aside, Bavasi has taken care of his employees. From an employer/employee viewpoint, he’s a good man to work for. If he was my boss, I’d probably be very happy.
I can’t stand Bavasi the GM, but Bavasi the human being is a pretty nice guy. I’d have a beer with him.

especially if Bavasi comes and talks to you guys again, he’d probably get a kick out of it actually.

Fortunately
We don’t play the Royals for about another two months. By then Ho will likely no longer be on the team, so we won’t be subjected to watching him shut us down.

I know
I don’t really totally know what I was saying with this. Maybe its fine we got rid of Baek cause we had gotten rid of these guys too. Our bullpen is already doing fine so its no big loss and I guess I can’t really be complaining. Just interesting.
Oh Matt Thorton is also kinda good somehow it appears. I didn’t want to believe it at first but it might be true.

I don't have video-grabbing capability
but a cleaner .gif of Raul’s attempted dive (immediately following Thames’ grand slam) would be clutch. It’d be nice to have an assortment of Raul defensive .gif’s for our own amusement.

But it’s still enough.
I swear, the seattlemariners.com forums are rife with people who want to defend Ibanez’s defense. I wish I could post pictures there so I could remind them of EVERY MOTHER FUCKING SHITTY PLAY he makes.

They're starting to listen, actually
Not about Raul, but after this disastrous season, they’re at least willing to accept that some of the warnings I’d been preaching about weren’t all hooey.
It’s been slow and painful, but winning over the moronic masses is starting to bear fruit.
