You know it's bad when we can't even get a "Happy Felix Day"

because nobody is paying enough attention to the M’s to notice.

by Jed MC on Aug 29, 2008 3:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Hmm

Felix on MLB.tv

or Army and Temple on ESPN 360.

Army is running the option this year aren’t they? Sold!

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

you shouldn’t have to play anymore.

I wouldn't mind a rain out.

That way I wouldn’t have to balance between a Felix start and a Seahawks game. Although normally they shouldn’t overlap.

But I think Seneca is healthy enough to go if needed as well.

I suspect that if there was a regular season game today, Matt would be playing.

From everything I’ve read, it sounds like he’s healthy enough to take the field. Of course, this is a meaningless game. Why bother?

Speaking of meaningless games and needless injury risk, Bruce Bochy is an idiot.

by BrianL on Aug 29, 2008 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly

I want Hass nowhere near the field until the games count. Preseason is bullshit in the NFL anymore, and I don’t even like the thought of any of our other starters playing tonight, after just a couple days rest

After the strike, my Avalanche became a shell of their former selves. As such, I’ve needed a new team. Go Sens!

I was on board with the Avalanche way back in the mid 90's or so

But it is very hard to follow Hockey here in Seattle, and after the strike I lost touch with the NHL. When they got back to business, the whole team was different. I’m glad to be able to latch to a team that sounds like it will let me down any time now. My comfort zone as a sports fan in Seattle

“Next Gen games look fine on Standard Def.” but once I went Hi Def I have a hard time going back. Hell I’m stuck with an old TV at work and the difference in how our game looks in HD is tangible.

I don't even have that great of an HDTV

I see pictures people take of games I have on their sets and feel I’m missing out.

Probably mostly due to me not having my 360 running on HDMI, only the PS3 gets that treatment for now.

have the Kings done anything besides hire a new coach? I know their was a god awful rumor about trading Kopitar but that was the last thing I heard.

The new coach.

Kopitar is still there. I had no idea there were Kings fans, no offense.

Its cool

I lived down the street from Staples for 5 years and got FSN so it was easy to pick them up as a team (I got the Ducks games but rooting for them made no sense).

The Kings have some young talent, if they can hold on to it and develop a Goalie I think they’ll be good in a few years.

by Slica on Aug 29, 2008 5:32 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I had arguments with another Mariner fan

About whether Wlad was better than Jones. This is within the two months following the trade.

I won that argument over him like a breaking ball over Wlad’s bat.

I gues the bright side is that Adam Jones would demand a trade within the next year or so anyways. We already kept him on the bench instead of playing him for a chunk of time last year, and im sure we would do the same again here.

Thats how you know when the Mariners aregoing to trade a good player. They wait until he struggles, bench him, and then sell at lowest possible value. Its called ‘sucking at front office ABCs’.

Raul!

He’s always diving at balls 10 feet in front of him.
The roll added some extra panache though.

Cock-ran?

Aren’t the home announcers given pronunciation guides to the road teams?

We haven't won yet?

Hmm.

Seahawks winning, and Howard Schultz dropped his lawsuit against the Sonics.

Rays wrapping up the Orioles right now.

I'm surprised that it doesn't get by him,

seeing as how his eyes were closed almost the whole time.

Does he ever have his eyes open?

Seriously, it’s like he’s playing LF blind.

I haven’t seen one of those in a while.

Apparently, use of instant replay is the Crew Chief's call only.

Which means we might as well not even have it around.

So I just got back from the batting cages hitting like 500 balls.

Yeah, I’ve got blisters popping everywhere. The pain is much better than sitting through a Mariners game, even with a Felix win.
