Detroit Tigers @ Seattle Mariners


Lineup

Detroit Tigers @ Seattle Mariners

06/01/08 1:10 PM PDT

Detroit Tigers Seattle Mariners
Curtis Granderson - CF Ichiro Suzuki - CF
Placido Polanco - 2B Jose Lopez - 2B
Carlos Guillen - LF Jose Vidro - "DH"
Magglio Ordonez - RF Raul Ibanez - "LF"
Miguel Cabrera - 1B Adrian Beltre - 3B
Jeff Larish - DH Kenji Johjima - C
Edgar Renteria - SS Jeremy Reed - RF
Ivan Rodriguez - C Miguel Cairo - 1B
Brandon Inge - 3B Yuniesky Betancourt - SS
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Miguel Batista 3-6 12 11 0 0 1 0 55.2 70 40 37 5 34 37 5.98 1.87

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jeremy Bonderman 3-4 11 11 0 0 0 0 64.1 63 36 31 8 36 39 4.34 1.54


Between 2003 and 2007, Bonderman was a textbook example of a huge idiot, routinely running ERAs higher than his solid peripherals because he just didn't understand certain parts of his job. Now he actually sucks and yet he's posting the second-best ERA of his career. The lesson here is that people don't make their own luck. Luck does whatever the hell it wants to whomever the hell it wants, and none of us humans have a say. Get used to it. It can be both a wonderful gift and a wonderful excuse.

You know who could use some good luck? Miguel Batista. Because Miguel Batista is bad.

Carlos Guillen is starting in LF?

Wow, he may actually have less range than Raul. Pull the goddamn ball!

by marinator on Jun 1, 2008 12:26 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes he is.

Do not get confused by hits and runs allowed.

Also, Jay Bruce is pretty good.

by Matthew on Jun 1, 2008 12:31 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I meant just for this start

3 Ks in 5.2 innings and it looks like a bunch of the hits he gave up were line drives

Alright sorry for jumping on you.

It was just a question

In a not yet-lively Game thread, I wanted to know who else here likes Morrissey because I’m listening to a really really good song by him.

Cairo at 1B again

This is getting excruciating.

by Alex B on Jun 1, 2008 12:39 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

McLaren's decision boils down to...

A tall guy who strikes out a lot, is a stump at first base, and gets booed…

A short guy who can run but can’t put the ball in play…

Or WFB. It’s not easy being squinty.

Jason Ellison, your Seattle Mariners legacy will not be forgotten.

Again, I don't mind Cairo.

I think he does take a little more heat than he deserves. I explained myself yesterday I think.

I'd appreciate to not be compared to Coach.

Cairo is not good.

He should not be on an ML roster. End of story.

It was all this great lo-fi music

I mean, the typical indie film score. But it was really really nice.

If you listen to Daniel Johnston at all, it was something like a little higher quality stuff by him.

I'd appreciate to not be compared to Coach.

Have you seen Old Joy?

It's a pretty weird but nice film

All filmed in Portland and area. They’re these two guys on this road trip to like a hot springs. Stars Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy) himself.

But that’s okay.

Most Indie music is the same as modern pop/rock crap.

The same old chord progressions, the same tired lyrics, the same used themes.

Only difference is the mainstream musicians make money off that crap.

Indie rock and Punk rock are different.

I'd appreciate to not be compared to Coach.

No, but you cited all the ingredients of Punk rock.

While speaking of the banner of Indie rock.

This crap is no different than mainstream garbage.

Do you actually remember the soundtrack?

Or are you just saying that because you think I’m dumb.

I'd appreciate to not be compared to Coach.

I said I THINK THAT'S DUMB

Not “I think you’re dumb”.

Yes I remember that soundtrack and I do not find anything particularly special about it.

I was shying away from the possibility of rickroll

So I waited for someone to reply. I’ve seen all those cartoon character Get Lows. Fun shit.

Have you seen Spongebob +Soulja Boy?

I haven't.

I did see the Teletubbies one, but I can’t recall what song.

The Spongebob one's pretty badly done

I mean it’s basically spongebob clips where his lips move in the ballpark of what the song is saying.

Is it a shock that I've never actually seen that?

Yet I still crack jokes about it to friends in science class?

We just had to do a project last class

Where we had me, and two other girls at my table like float a balloon over whatever on a string, and there was a cup beneath it. Was supposed to exemplify Newton’s third law of motion or something.

Thus, the two girls one cup joke.

Depends on your definition of

“worth watching.” Under my definition, which is basically not being one of the worst teams in baseball…potentially as soon as next year.
