It doesn't really do me much good anymore to say "hey this pitcher sucks" if the offense refuses to take advantage of it. So

 

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

I have a good feeling about this game.

Not only is Felix pitching but it’s our first gamethread with “Jeff” back!

Cheeseburgers are delicious.

Gotta be a mistake.

He didn’t start last night, yet it says he’s started every game he’s been in.

Cheeseburgers are delicious.

Kason Gabbard

Finesse lefty, not Jack Benoit.

Finesse lefty

no control righty
hard throwing veteran

Doesn’t matter, they own us all.

I love how in my BBM09 game, he got traded

right back to Boston.

Cheeseburgers are delicious.

Fearless prediction of failure:

Felix pitches a 10 inning CG on 120 pitches and loses on an unearned run.

As soon as I officially lose all hope (I'm a game or two away),

I would love to see WFB play every game this season, just so at the end of the year I don’t have to read another “I just want a chance to prove myself” quote. Give him 400 at-bats of .250/.300/.300 awesomeness and dare him to whine more. He still probably would anyway, huh?

We can’t win.

When you have as much grit as Willie does,

you never have enough playing time.

Cheeseburgers are delicious.

Today's game brought to you by the Pink Ranger.

As well as Willie’s scrappy Mighty Morphin brother

Man I just can’t bring myself to get excited for this game…

I'm not sure how I failed

but I’m not surprised. I’ve been failing at all sorts of things today. The fried server at work being one fine example.

by BrianL on May 8, 2008 6:36 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

WIllie's fucking scrappy mighty morphin brother

If this doesn’t work I’ll commit ritualistic seppuku.

things I want to see today:

groundballs from Felix
a good K/BB ratio from Felix
no HRs allowed by Felix

Runs scored?

Do you want to see the Mariners score runs?

by BrianL on May 8, 2008 7:11 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm hoping for a Mariners win, 0 to -1

Clearly this was how Bavasi thought we’d win games this season.

I guess sitting in the freezing cold watching WFB strike out wasn't enough for the mariners.

Now I have to sit at home and watch his retarded ass all game.

Thanks, M’s. I fucking hate you.

Adam Jones throws him out.

At least we don't have Zito's contract.

T/F

Felix’s pitch counts this year have affected his control

Even Dave knows we're boned after 2 runs have been scored.
