8/10: Open Game Thread
Tampa Bay Rays at Seattle Mariners, Aug 10, 2008 1:10 PM PDT
Willie --> DL with an exploded hamstring, Tuglett recalled
Edwin Jackson is sort of like Vicente Padilla if you take Padilla's glacially slow game pace and fill all the downtime with balls.

Silva's contract was terrible as is.
I had no idea he would make it seem insufferably worse by being such a cancerous asshole. Does anyone know if he pulled this crap with the Twins?

I just want to point out, before everything goes to shit, that John Lannan is a badass lacking control.
No-hitter through five versus the Brewers. But 6K to 4BB. Still, he’s the one pitcher in the Nats rotation who I can see as a part of the franchise going forward. Very nice rookie season.

Today is a very, very sad day.
Meanwhile, Willie Bloomquist was put on the 15-day DL with a right hamstring pull he suffered running out a double-play ball in the 10th last night. Tug Hulett was called up from Tacoma to take his roster spot. Jim Riggleman said before the game, “It’s a very significant pull. I don’t know if we’ll see Willie the rest of the year.”If that’s the case, that could be the end of the Willie Bloomquist era in Seattle. He is a free agent after the season and has made noises about exploring an opportunity in the National League, where playing time might be more plentiful.
Per Larry Stone.

But it won't happen.
I am sure, one of the teams will get “hot”, and make it to the postseason. Kind of like how Boston got “hot” in the ALCS last year and made it to the world series.
