7/12: Open Game Thread
Seattle Mariners @ Kansas City Royals
The pitchers I used to hate were so much more fun than the pitchers I hate now. Oh, Gil, you and your brain were always so wacky...
Speaking of Gil, anyone still think we missed out by not re-signing him to a big deal? Because his tRA is currently worse than Brett Tomko's.

according to Baker
Tuglett gets the start at DH for this game. Vidro plays first base.

They must be scrambling while they wait to call up Craig Wilson.

Ahahaha I didn't think you could get any more hilarious than Vidro batting cleanup
But Hulett as DH in the same game? Awesome.

Riggleman and the coaches might as well wear paper Strasberg masks in the dugout

Depends
if he’s actively trying to lose, then he’s brilliant.

Except him being successful in that endeavor is good for the future GM.
It’s very very bad for keeping your job.

If they wanted to keep losing they would have kept Johnny Mac.

But they also had to trick the casual fans into thinking they care.
Firing Mac does just that.

Howie and Chuck can't identify sunk costs.
I don’t think they know what’s good and what’s bad at all.

So would playing Clement at DH, Tuglett at 1B, and Vidro at hot dog stand have been too bold of a move?

So I hear that nothing is more beautiful and satisfying
than an honest and mutual understanding.

I never thought Gil Meche was a bad player
But I find it hard to believe that anybody could be upset that we didn’t offer more than 5 years and 55 million. Are there actually people out there that consider that a problem? For a two or three years and like 4 or 5 mil a year, I’d probably have kept him. Unfortunately that’s just not what mediocre pitching costs. Unless it’s young, but of course, as the entire Mariner front office knows, young pitching is terrible and inconsistent. If only there was a way to take young, cheap pitching and make it way older, way more expensive and not as good. I’m predicting in about four years, the Mariners sign Cha Seung Baek to a four year $40 mil deal and bring back Gil at 4 years, $60 mil cuz you know, he’s gonna want a pay increase.

In last night's case
I think it was just the thread that everyone seemed to post there at once, which quickly turned off topic and a bunch of youtube links. Its unfortunate the author of the fanpost took offense and deleted the thread. I am not sure how tonight will work out, if there is one.

Yeah, I woke up at 8 this morning, and read
most of what was posted… You guys were up WAY too late, having either way to much or way too little fun.

You should just do what my little brother does.
Get your parents to buy you two new guitars by promising them that you’ll play it all the time. Then when you get it, be too lazy to play it.

There are only certain times of the day I can bring myself to leave the house.
I anticipate in a couple hours I will no longer melt when I go outside.

Gil Meche is sure pitching just like the Gil Meche I remember.
1 inning, 1 hit, 21 pitches.

I like Grudz
I think if we’re going to get not too expensive veterans who don’t suck and can play good defense, we should get guys like him.

What happened to that 1b
that the Royals had that they traded for from Colorado? Big Hulking slow dude who never hit for enough power.
by LantermanC on Jul 12, 2008 4:34 PM PDT 0 recs
Dammit, Washburn's trade value is going to diminish
since his rep to go deep into games will probably not hold up do to this 35 or so pitch inning.
