by eponymous_coward on May 26, 2008 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Mariner front office right now is a study in cognitive dissonance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

“In simple terms, it can be the filtering of information that conflicts with what one already believes, in an effort to ignore that information and reinforce one’s beliefs. In detailed terms, it is the perception of incompatibility between two cognitions, where “cognition” is defined as any element of knowledge, including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance states that contradicting cognitions serve as a driving force that compels the mind to acquire or invent new thoughts or beliefs, or to modify existing beliefs, so as to reduce the amount of dissonance (conflict) between cognitions. Experiments have attempted to quantify this hypothetical drive. Some of these have examined how beliefs often change to match behavior when beliefs and behavior are in conflict.”

So, naturally, the players suck, but the GM who built the roster? Doesn’t suck.

Hmm, not quite sure what you mean by this question, but I will recommend you find:

- the newly-leaked (6 mo. ago) 16-track sampler of the 12/31/75 show. Incredible and professionally done, for a live album that never materialized.
- 4/24/73 The Main Point: incredible sound, incredible early/rare setlist.
- 1/6/74 Joe’s Place: same as above. Perfect sound, great show, great setlist.

If you're still reading this, one more great recommendation:

1/29/74 – Muther’s Music Emporium, Nashville TN. (excellent SBD)

An all-time classic show, Springsteen playing to a mostly-empty room but putting on the show of his life. Includes near-definitive performances of “Blinded By The Light” and “Kitty’s Back,” plus the first-ever performance of “Incident On 57th Street.” A humdinger of a doozy of a concert it is.

Post game show

They’re declaring 2008 over and thinking we should blow it up and start over, taking umbrage with free swinging hitters who don’t work counts and get on base, and generally thinking that there’s a lot of changes that need to happen. Hasselman is convinced that Vidro’s option will not vest, period. Even Shannon Drayer was hostile.

Progress?

Fans are typically idiots.

by The Typical Idiot Fan on May 26, 2008 11:11 PM PDT reply actions  

Drayer was impressive

Proclaiming that aside from guys like Ichiro, Beltre, Felix, and the other “franchise” players (Bedard, Johjima) the rest of the team should be considered for replacement. She was saying that the middle infield guys shouldn’t be considered unexpendable just because they’re under contract, nor the starting pitchers. She was convinced Vidro would be back, but the other two sounded very sure that Vidro’s option wouldn’t vest.

Tom Glasgow said that Raul would probably be DHing in 2009 if he came back, so he was speculating that the M’s need to find replacements in LF, RF (maybe), DH, 1B, and Catcher. Hasselman agreed with him.

Not sure what to think about this except that Drayer’s a sexy bitch when she’s rosterbating.

I refuse to believe that all three of them just decided to talk about 2008 being over and blowing up the team on their own.

This is Bavasi or the FO putting out “feelers” to see the fan reaction to the idea of rebuilding or blowing up this team to start over.

Fans are typically idiots.

Yup, wearing the Rays cap tomorrow.

I get the added benefit of being able to rub in that they're the reason Boston is in second in person.

By the way, what Rays shirt do you have? Player/number, or what?

Generic gray Ray's shirt

couldn’t find anything really sweet for a decent price. I’m not ready to drop $200+ on a Sonnanstine jersey given that I can’t imagine when I’d ever wear it.

Well the good news is if you ever get out to that awesome new stadium

You’ll have a lot of good players to choose from. Kazmir, Shields, Pena, Upton, Longoria, Crawford, Price, and your boy Sonnanstine….man, I’d love to have one player not named Felix as good as those players.

For a player/number shirt, of course.

It was this game.

The next night I ended up in left field, where Cardinal nation had taken over, and I was wearing Mariner gear.

The parenthesis thing happens to me a lot.

And yeah, M’s fans get cocky when we’re way ahead, but otherwise they just don’t get drunk enough/hate confrontation so much they avoid talking to people and attempt to shush people as nicely as possible (which comes off ruder because you know they’re just afraid to be mean)

Oh speaking of Raul...

Pedroia’s double. From my vantage point he looked a step or two away from catching it. Reed snags it, right?

Also, Felix’s “walk” to JD Drew looked like a strike to me. Did my eyes deceive me?

Wore mine to work on Saturday.

I won a bet with an A’s fan over who would win a recent series, so I got to rub it in her face and get the can of pop that I earned.
