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?

Screw you, Riggleman.
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.

Blastings Thrilledge!
Or rather, dink Singleledge! 1-0 Nats.

We 18 games away from being the first team eliminated from the playoffs.
At least we have a 9-game lead over the Nationals in this category.
Actually, I can always get mildly enthusiastic for the Dicktator.
Just try getting me into it for Washburn, Silva, or Tits.

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.
Noooooooooo
They can’t let Willie go! He’s from Port Orchard!
Holy Hell...
there are pitchers dropping like flies. If Lee P can’t flip Wash’s contract for something moderately juicy at this point he’s a bloody fool.
Get thrown out stealing....
but get called safe?
Do you feel like he's going to hit enough to hold down center?
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
He's gonna do it until your worst hitter hits a HR off him.

I hope Ichiro....

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.

Fantastic.
Jose Lopez being punished for not being Tug Hullett?
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
Yeah
Because Lopez is the biggest problem on the team right now.
I know this is a common complaint among bitching fans,
but the Mariners seem to be way more effective at the plate against good pitchers than they are against shitty ones.
When you swing at everything,
you hit strike-throwers better.
speaking of which
For a guy who walks a lot of guys, Edwin Jackson certainly isn’t walking a lot of guys today.
Riggleman is sending a message.....
"When I'm a evaluating a player the first three things I look at are: Character, character, and character."
-Charles Armstrong esq.
What angered me the other night
was on Friday, when Riggleman shit on the performance of LaHair, Wlad, and Clement after they all had solid games.
They aren't veterans though
He’s probably not too happy having to start 3-4 “kids” every game, and not including having RRS in the rotation now and not having much experience in the bullpen.
JI/Robert '08!
Lopez since the break
.352/.379/.528
Mariners: Still dumb.
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
Watch as he's traded this offseason
and Yuni stays.
Mind you..on that play Yuni just stood at SS instead of backing up the throw...Fuck Yuni
I fucking hate you Mariners
I ask this as a serious question:
A healthy Willie at 2B makes that same play. Any benching?
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
If he's being punished for yesterday, why did he start?
by Jeff Sullivan on Aug 10, 2008 2:29 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm trying to find some sort of justification for the benching
all I’m finding is more confusion.
Willie has had PLENTY of defensive disasters.
I recall one in CF about a month ago that had me laughing my ass off.
Punishment avoided because it’s easier for him to talk to Riggleman after the game?
Fuckin' Richie Sexson man!
I wouldn't really call it disastrous
He should’ve made those plays, yes. But a lot of them were pretty difficult.
PETE ROSE WOULD HAVE WALKED.

But if we’re sending messages he’s played like balls today. Might as well yank him too

This is all bullshit.
