23-42

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 10, 2008 7:31 PM PDT in Seattle Mariners Game Recaps

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.

Biggest Contribution: Jeremy Reed, +10.2%
Biggest Suckfest: Jose Lopez, -17.6%

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

May? At this point?

Carlo's W-L record went from 3-0 to 3-7

Hey now.

At first I read that I thought it said Cairo's W-L record went from 3-0 to 3-7

Jeff: You mixed up the contributions from the pitchers and the position players

Telling me that is Matthew's job

I retract my statement

You did perfect

That's not automated?

Wow.

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.

by BrianL on Jun 10, 2008 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions

We have one in LF.

by JI on Jun 10, 2008 10:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Designated Hitter.

We’re doing it wrong.

by BrianL on Jun 10, 2008 10:38 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm pretty sure that half the AL has a worse than league average

DH…
