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.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

He's a bit pricier, but his bat is still genuinely good.

Although I imagine he’ll collapse against lefties next year.

Feierabend has topped out at a mesmerizing 87mph so far

This game only makes it all the more difficult to figure out why Campillo is doing what he’s doing.

Even the routine ground balls are basically stung line drives the just happen to be on the ground right at an infielder.

rightly spend any time arguing for his having a full-time spot
in the lineup, so you need something to do.

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.

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.
