Strasburg Standings

 

 

 

 

 

 

The good news is that the Mariners, being the only AL team represented here, have a better chance at losing games in the second half than their NL brethern simply by dint of playing the harder schedule. And the Ms second half schedule is a tougher version of their first half, but they're going to have to take advantage of that and start rolling over to these stronger teams. They can begin tonight by having Ichiro take Riggelman up on his offer for a day off. Do it for Strasburg Ichiro.

I have a bad feeling the Clement and Reed are going to sink this ship.

Vidro is going to have to man up and bear down big time to make this happen.

He's going to have to keep on batting clean up to help us.

Sexson, Vidro, and Batista could help us do this easily

But management is against the idea of having all three of them in a game at the same time.

This is the exact opposite of last year.

No one thought that team was good enough to get into the playoffs, but they got just close enough to fool everyone into having false hope. I don’t think many people thought this team was the worst in the majors, but they’ve been bad enough so far to make everyone salivate over Strasburg.

We literally cannot win for losing.

How big is the dropoff after Strasburg?

So I can be appropriately displeased with the M’s having a pick between 2 and 5.

Supposedly it's a very good draft class of college pitchers.

Also there’s a 2B named Ackley from UNC who’s really good.

Weaver to the Indians

Now there was someone who could’ve helped us chase down Strasburg.

I hate to say it

But Washington is really really bad. -119 before the all-star break? That is epic.

Damnit, We need to come through in the clutch!

Where is your team pride, Mariners? Take that third strike and smile a little more, bobble
that routine grounder with a little more grit, groove that 3-0 fastball that much more up and in the wheelhouse.

The funny thing is, amongst all the Princess Willie, Vidro and Cairo slamming we’ve been doing, I wonder if the team management really isn’t just a few steps ahead of us and are actually right there with us, setting sail together on the USS Strasburg Goldenthong.

Actually

Ichiro can help us even more by going 1 for 5, jogging out grounders, taking plays off with RISP and not diving. If he wants to pad his stats, he can wait until we’re down 5 runs and then go to town, as he often did in 2004-2005.

So now

Can these standings replace the AL West standings in the sidebar now?

WOOO!! GO WASHINGTON!! STRAAASBUUURGG!

God it hurts to root for these two shitty teams.

I root for the two worst teams in baseball, non-ironically.

Side note...watching the New York/Boston game

Varitek might be the worst starting catcher (offensively) in all of baseball

I fucking hate you Mariners

Johjima/Clement

are almost 100 points below him in OPS though.
