8/17: Open Game Thread
Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins, Aug 17, 2008 11:10 AM PDT
For as long as he's been floating around, it's hard to believe ol' Big Nose only turns 23 this week. He still has a chance to become an actual Major League pitcher, which is easy to forget when his name seldom comes up in conversation. Now if only he could find some more talent. Then we'd really have something special on our hands.

He sucked so hard last year. He is a true Mariner fifth starter.

Not that he will.

He's a bit pricier, but his bat is still genuinely good.
Although I imagine he’ll collapse against lefties next year.

If IbaƱez will get ~$10mil to DH/4th OF next year
Why is Aubrey Huff’s contract so bad? Isn’t it relatively close? And he’s got a 900+ OPS this year.

Actually - my psychotic break notwithstanding - it is pretty funny in a dark, dark way.
What pisses me off the most is that I’m going to see Tropic Thunder with my girlfriend tonight right when the Rays game is beginning, and will be without internet afterwards. Right now the Rays are my only meager baseball consolation.

It's always great when your favorite baseball team(s) make you wonder why you ever liked this sport in the first place

Exactly.
In between the M’s failing to dump Washburn and the Nats failing to sign Crow, and the continued legendary fail of both teams, I’m wondering why I couldn’t have gotten into football or basketball instead.

Hockey is for people who fetishize bizarre Canadian rituals.
I consider the entire country to be an informal annex of the US.

w/r/t beer I agree. w/r/t everything else, including free speech and health care, I disagree.
But oh shit NO POLITICS and let’s close this subthread right here and leave it at that.

BRMC or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Another thing that the three guys who agree on everything agree upon. Except Jeff can’t go to the show in Seattle and so Graham is taunting him, which you will see above.

I hope Jeff does a Top 50 worst Mariner moments this off season.
And that Matt/Graham use their wizardry to work out, to the nearest hour, exactly when the M’s lowest point of the season was.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.
