Tampa Bay Rays @ Seattle Mariners

Edwin Jackson is sort of like Vicente Padilla if you take Padilla's glacially slow game pace and fill all the downtime with balls.

So Carl and Evan have both been hurt this series.

I think we were tight guys, what’s going on here?

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?

So the White Sox are just pounding Clay Buchholz.

Their lineup reminds me of the Griffey/Jay/Edgar/A-Rod days.

I have a dream.

I have a dream where the White Sox or the Twins keep both the Yankees and the Red Sox out of the postseason (via the WC).

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.

Why does Joe's Tracer still exist?

Shouldn’t it be Pitch F/X sponsored by Joe’s? Because their ‘tracer’ is a piece of shit.

I hope Ichiro....

goes 0-fer in all of Silva’s starts for the next 4 years. When Silva flips out about it, Ichiro should tell him that he’s trying to hit homeruns for him because 2-3 singles are considered mere “stat padding”.

Umm Dave?
One that is Reed and two the good jump means it is someone other than Ibanez.

BJ Upton doesn't bother eating because it requires too many muscle groups.

He just lies down in his hyperbaric chamber-bed and hooks the IV up to his arm.

I suppose so!

That thought hadn’t even occurred to me. I’ve been assuming that the Rays will prevent either the Yankees or Red Sox from being in the playoffs, but for both to miss out on October? The mind boggles.

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.
