Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals, Jul 12, 2008 4:10 PM PDT
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.

But Hulett as DH in the same game? Awesome.

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.

Not all his fault.
Vidro messed up the first play. Teahen could’ve GIDP, but ended up being only one out. And then.. Grudz just had a good swing, and Gordon got lucky and fought one off. Or at least that’s what I’d tell an opposing scout/gm who was looking at J-Rod.

My 4year old just learned out how to sing "STRAAASBURRRRG!"

I wonder what the appropriate melody for that would be.

On that note, it's officially drinking time.

I don't understand this waiting thing.
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 6:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Unofficial drinking time started at 4:10 today.

Woke up and continued from last night.
Screwdrivers are magic.

I recommend a bloody mary.
Spicy!
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 6:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah... not fit to drive.
And I live in bloody PA where nothing is within walking distance. So OJ it is!
by JuliaHope on Jul 12, 2008 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What is in the OJ?
That is the question.
by Smith18 on Jul 12, 2008 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I meant this morning.
Please move on to more womanly drinks now.
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, but morning was 1pm-ish.
Didn’t get home from the bars and such until 5 am. Good night. :) Everything I said I wanted and more. And I really shouldn’t be saying this here…. it’s the vodka talking ( and now see above question).

This is why you check your email before typing.
And don’t drink so much you have the urge to fan post.
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ignore that last post.
Drunk posting= AWESOME. See: Graham.

She's too damn coherent when drunk.
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah?
Now check your email. And I can’t think of anything baseball to say after that last game which as depressed me to no end….I think it was the Horam win that did it. Last straw and such.
by JuliaHope on Jul 12, 2008 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I can spell when drunk.
See: now. Woo hoo tequila and Flor de Caña.
by eponymous_coward on Jul 12, 2008 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh yes..I think I remember this.
by NOLAmarinergirl on Jul 12, 2008 7:17 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Pity there are no direct MSY-SEA flights.
I’d share the Flor de Caña. ;)

The curse of my life.
I had one ounce left. Unfortunately it’s the US version, which is lesser proof and less smooth.

I see.
I had a snort out drinking last night for a preview, but yeah, this stuff is better.

Also:
It does seem there are flights through Denver and Atlanta…
by eponymous_coward on Jul 12, 2008 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly. I can get home--I just have to go board one, two or even three planes to do so.

Last Thanksgiving was awesome for me.
NOLA to Charlotte to Vegas to Portland.

Does being padawan to a gnome ever bother you?

Someone's getting too big for her stalking boots
by Graham on Jul 12, 2008 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
You could challenge him to a drinking contest.
I hear Graham likes port. And gingles.
by eponymous_coward on Jul 12, 2008 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or you'll get my contact details off Facebook?
Terrifying
by Graham on Jul 12, 2008 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I used to be a prospect researcher.
ie—stalking for a living.

You and Robert should have a stalk-off

I scared him when I turned the tables on him.
I would win in five seconds.
