Adrian Beltre - 3B Ken Griffey - DH
Jose Lopez - 2B Paul Konerko - 1B
Jeff Clement - C Nick Swisher - RF
Wladimir Balentien - LF Alexei Ramirez - 2B
Bryan LaHair - 1B Dewayne Wise - CF
Yuniesky Betancourt - "SS" Juan Uribe - 3B
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - R.A. Dickey 3-7 23 12 0 0 0 0 97.0 108 53 53 12 46 55 4.92 1.59

Best Lineup of the Season

I suppose that means you won't be making me porridge tomorrow morning, Ian?

by JI on Aug 20, 2008 10:10 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Put Tex at 1B and Furcal at SS

and regress Clement and Beltre’s luck and that’s a fun enough lineup to watch.

by Matthew on Aug 20, 2008 10:17 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

Although you could probably get a .280/.350/.450 performance out of 1B for next to nothing and you could invest in center, and Sheets/Burnett/CC (although CC isn’t realistic)

by JI on Aug 20, 2008 10:22 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd be fine with that too.

If only we’d traded for Andy LaRoche.

by Matthew on Aug 20, 2008 10:34 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Depends on how much obviously

and an overall strategy being in place this winter, but it’s an option I would look at for sure.

by Matthew on Aug 20, 2008 10:38 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

In that situation I would hope that no GM is stupid enough to go 4 years.

I’d even go 3 if the price wasn’t too outrageous, like some sort of vesting option based on the first two or if the contract was under ~$60m.

by JI on Aug 20, 2008 10:41 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

There was a recent article

suggesting that Boras thinks Manny can get something like a 4 year/$100 million deal.

by G_ on Aug 20, 2008 10:56 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Boras also said that Beltre would get 10/200

don’t take any of his figures seriously

The point is that Manny will take it seriously

as much as Manny can take anything seriously.

Floyd

I bet one of Bill Bavasi’s first acts in his new job was writing a report to Walt Jocketty on how the Reds should offer four of their better prospects to the White Sox for Gavin Floyd this offseason.

by G_ on Aug 20, 2008 10:27 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yukiko Ueno

So this girl from Japan threw 21 innings and threw over 310 pitches in 2 games on the same day (giving up 7 runs total) and could be pitching in the Gold Medal game in the next day.

Oh what, there a Mariner game coming on?

by ThundaPC on Aug 20, 2008 10:36 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

If I were the Sox

I’d hit Swisher or Thome second and move AJ down the order.

by JI on Aug 20, 2008 10:44 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

No way

Neither Swisher nor Thome can bunt worth a damn.

by G_ on Aug 20, 2008 10:54 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Tony LaRussa does not know what he is doing

You bat a high on-base percentage guy in the 8th hole, not the pitcher, because he serves as a second leadoff hitter.

by G_ on Aug 20, 2008 10:59 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think it's a good idea

because if you are hitting Ankiel/Glaus/Ludwick second to get them more at bats, it makes sense to move the pitcher further away from the 2 spot.

by JI on Aug 20, 2008 11:00 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you are in the NL

you should bat the pitcher second because he is always the best bunter in the lineup.

by G_ on Aug 20, 2008 11:03 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That area under the bus is running out of room
The Yankees are 3-7 in the games Pudge Rodriguez has started since he came over from the Tigers. He is 8 for 35 (.229) with one RBI. Andy Pettitte threw to him once then asked not to again.

Hopefully not until 2009 at the earliest.

No reason not to have him catch everyday in 2008 and see if he can become satisfactory because he has so much more value. C to 1B or DH is 20 runs worth of defensive value and opportunity cost. He’d have to be really really bad to make more sense at DH than C (in a vacuum).

I will top this.
Then, as the buildup intensified and we looked at a potential for a 3-way deal that would make us better and cheaper, we get this. A guy who has worse peripherals than Joel “Fucking Sucks” Pineiro did last season.

It’s like having sex with a blowup doll. Sure, it’s fun and everything, but eventually you realize that you’re loving something that will never love you back. The Mariners will never repay my fanship with success except by blind luck. They’re the Special Olympics kid who somehow made his way into the actual Olympic track meet. Sure, there’s a chance he could win, and that would be great, but expecting it to happen or even hoping for it to happen should be automatic grounds for commitment.

I’m not leaving, or even going to stop rooting for the team, I have too much loyalty to the city I love (and really, that’s the only reason I root for the Ms. It’s too bad they didn’t move in retrospect. Then I’d be free.) to stop, but I’m just going to not care nearly as much because what’s the point? I can suffer through losing, as long as there’s hope at the end of the tunnel. But if there’s no hope then I might as well just go root for the fucking Cubs.

Sure wish Dickey would use that magical knuckle power to reduce his BABIP.

If you take away the 6 runs he gave up

he’s pitching a shutout.

I can’t even find this funny anymore.

True, he did pitch better than the results, but even a 3 run deficit in the first inning feel insurmountable by this team.

Ichiro is selfish and only cares about himself.
Could Ichiro wind up back in center? “The makeup of the ballclub is going to determine that. I’m pretty sure Ichiro prefers to play right. I know for the team he would go to center.”

Not knowing what he said, I got thinking:

Wouldn’t it be awesome for Dave to get so frustrated one game during the third inning he stands up and proclaims “I’m done, fuck this team” and takes off his headset and walks out. I hope this is the way he retires.

I think you guys are catching on.

Dave’s entire career has been a career of heartbreak. Yes, there have been a lot of amazing moments, but they can be singled down to 4-5 years. And in those great 4-5 years, never once did he taste a World Series appearance.

I guess I shouldn’t hope for him to retire this way, but I wouldn’t blame him if he did.

Has Larry Stone taken over official gameday duties at the Times blog?

Hmmm, Ichi has a good game

and the M’s have a shot at history. This may be my favorite loss of all time

what is our shot at history?

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

Give up runs in every inning

Assuming they can score every inning

it’s only 8 innings, since they are the home team. Would that still count?

Maybe the M's will have a massive comeback in the 9th

but I’d assume that’s how most games of this type go

It was?

The game hadn’t even started when I went to lunch, I come back and it is 15-3 in the 7th.

I blame Batista.

He was throwing junk balls up there and the Sox didn’t know how to react.

Hey wow guys, we suck.

Just turned on the game. My god we’re unredeemable. Any highlights?

We had more interesting prospects

Edgar’s last year, Ichiro getting the hits record, BUCKY JACOBSEN

2004 was the best 99 loss year ever

So, if someone were to tell you on August 20th, Clement, LaHair, Wlad, Reed, and Hulett were playing

in a game that featured Dickey, Woods, Corcoran, and Batista…what the hell do you think had happened in the world? Mariners team plane had crashed and the Rainiers became the Mariners?

I fucking hate you Mariners

I don't care what you say

I <3 Hawk Harrelson

My childhood was spent growing up in suburban Chicago listening to him rant- because of him I will never hate the White Sox and because of him everytime I see a home run my instinct is to yell “CAN YOU PUT IT ON THE BOARD???? YES!”

Christ!

In gif form he really, really, truly looks like a hawk. I never noticed before….perhaps because I avoid him like I wish I could avoid McCarver.
I can just see him digging his talons into some poor rodent while shrieking, “Put one on the board for the good guys!”.

The weirdest part is the batter making the fist after the fall.

Jake Peavy vs Dan Haren. Pitching duel right? No it's already 6-4 Arizona after two innings.

Baseball is weird.

And it ended up being an 8-6 final.
