This thing was finished about half an hour after I got home and turned it on, so I can't exactly pretend to have any insight. As such, something more substantial and completely unrelated is in the works for a little later on.

Again...I'm gonna make the case that it was ok to enjoy the Wilkerson HR...

1. Irony is a bitch.
2. It’s not like we need wins at this point.
3. It was a crappy player we got rid of homering of a far worse player we’re stuck with for years.
4. Without Wilk we wouldn’t have had that squirrel image that’s one of my favorite (cue someone posting it, please!).
5. He was able to say “Fuck you” to the front office in a way we can only dream about.
6. I enjoy taking pleasure in Silva’s pain.

Side note: Why do the Mariners take Lopez out of the 2 hole when he’s producing near All-Star 2B numbers? It happened last time he was good and it’s happening again. I think we all remember the massive fail of the last attempt.

Hey look

Greg Norton blasted a ball into deep left center. He may actually be better than Sexson at this point

Since this doesn't quite merit a 'Fanpost', here's how the Mariners have ranked in the AL in on-base percentage

2008 – 14th in OBP
2007 – 7th in OBP (fluketastic!)
2006 – 13th in OBP
2005 – 14th in OBP
2004 – 10th in OBP
2003 – 4th in OBP
2002 – 2nd in OBP
2001 – 1 in OBP

Basically, it’s been 4 years and they’ve been unable to find anything close to an adequate replacement for Edgar Martinez.

Man that '01 team was good.

But that is one hell of an indictment. How do you fail to find a league-average DH? Come on, it can’t be that hard.

Our DH production was at one time

worse than the Diamondbacks’ pitchers.

Micah's in a slump.

"It didn’t really bother me at all," Johnson said. "If it would have, he’d probably be in a stretcher and I’d be out of the game."

Man Milton Bradley is tearing it.

Must have something to do with playing in Arlington.

Yep.

.388 / .504 / .837 in Arlington.
.295 / .411 / .457 elsewhere.

Not that he’s incredibly horrible outside of Texas, but his numbers in that retarded ballpark are pretty telling.

His overall .387 BABIP doesn’t hurt either.

Fans are typically idiots.

25% line drives, tho

I guess that doesn’t hurt.

Even his road split look better than the DHs overall sats

Why does it seem that so many of the DHs are having off years this year?
