Mariners are winners in my book

PrintPlayed on a summer baseball team with a bunch of "at risk" types and tonight I was reminded by Big Richie of one of my favorite baseball quotes: "It's not who wins the game, it's who wins the fight in the parking lot after the game." Richie got the teams hardest hit in weeks.
Look the Mariners might not be kicking ass but the are taking names. The season is over barring an improbable miracle but at least the Mariners will be able to audition a new first baseman while Richie serves a (minimum) 10 game suspension.

Ironically...
We actually don’t really have first base options. So Sexson actually managed to make this team even worse, in this instance.
...and now I'm here
Amendment -
Unless the put Raul in 1st and call up Jeremy Reed. That’d be super.

We HAD first base options...
One’s in Atlanta right now.

Yeah, this is true.
And I’d be all for that. Just saying they’re not really considered “options.” More like “defaults.”
...and now I'm here
Yeah
This is not to say either one is an answer, or even ready. But what the hell else are you gonna do at this point?
Great quote from Ron Washington
“I thought that was bull,” Washington said. “How tall is he, 6-13? Then you go out there on a little guy and throw a helmet?”
Kason Gabbard is 6-3, 200 lbs. Apparently to Ron Washington, being the second biggest player on the field makes you a little guy
Washington is just pissed
That Richie didn’t let it slide. I think he misses the turn the other cheek Mariners of years past.
Hardball Review Because we need another blog about the Mariners.
I still think it's funny he referred to the guy who was probably the second biggest on the field as a "little guy"

Agreed

Okay, but the 6-13 part is pretty funny.
I like Ron Washington, though.

Not that it was super close, but a fastball to the head does a lot of damage too.
And he’s whining about a plastic helmet?
I fucking hate you Mariners
The fact that he charged the mound
on a ball a foot or 2 from his head, tells you why his batting average is where it is. Lasic is your friend, Richie.

Presumptuous bastard.

Ahem. Your assertion is provably false.
The Mariners are included in “everybody”.
The Mariners do not win.
Ergo, everybody does not win.

I'm hoping for Cairo time
needs something to complain about
Well...
That’s a tremendous downer, considering he was traded to Texas so that he could spend more time with his family.
...and now I'm here
Well, now he can!
He doesn’t have those annoying games to go that kept getting in the way of family time. He’s made more than enough money, I’m sure.
Is it just me, or is this AJ trade looking worse every day?

didn't he get a two-year deal?
Getting Broussard for nothing might be a good idea, but I’d rather go with Jac Jones or Jim Edmonds and stick Raul at 1B. Hell at this point Lehair or Reed might be a good idea.

I think you're reading your book upside down.
That’s why the lines on the graphs look like they’re going up.
