So I got slammed at work and missed the past few innings.

Can someone explain why we don’t have a real DH anymore? All the bench bats used?

Seriously.

Am I the only Mariners fan left? At least its not more of the “play to lose” for draft picks.

Seconded

I don’t think the M’s performance this series will decide that, though. This series more like choosing between two delicious flavors of ice cream.

I do want them to win

But Batista losing it is oddly funny.

I like walks.

It says to the opposing team, “fuck you. We don’t need no stinking positivity.

This is currently my signature.

It probably gets to a point

where winning or losing doesn’t matter, just watching the dramatic conclusion.

Not trying to be annoying.

I’m just not a fan of playing to lose, and that has become a common attitude lately.

One player won't change anything.

Hiring an intelligent GM that doesn’t piss money away on useless pieces is a much more productive way to build for the future.

You know what, I'd like to see a fan boycott!

I’ve been wanting this for about 3 years. Just pick a game, non NY or BoSox, obviously, and ban that fucking thing. Originally to get rid of Bavasi, but now to get rid of Chuck A. and that other guy. Lee?

Once we realized he couldn't get the win it just made sense to root for the Rays

in the grand scheme of things, there was more satisfaction to be gained from a loss than from a win.

by Jeff on Aug 9, 2008 11:45 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have mixed feelings.

I of course am totally excited about the Rays possibly going to the postseason, but I seriously dread listening to all the bullshit if they lose.

“Don’t have experience in the postseason” and other mindless quotes from the “analysts”.

Well, that was a crappy ending.

If completely predictable once Batista came in.

Can’t wait to see him close tomorrow. Hope Dickey’s got a CG in him.

Thanks.

Riggles had him in the post game interview, said he’s hurting. Guess all that playing time caught up to him. Shit shit shit shit. I’m now down to 2 players, and a bullpen that is surprisingly entertaining.

Haha

The White Sox on Saturday optioned third baseman Josh Fields to Class AAA Charlotte and traded minor league outfielder Paulo Orlando to the Kansas City Royals for veteran lefthander Horacio Ramirez.

That Paulo Orlando, he’s no Rafael Soriano.

Also:

Silva leads the AL in losses
Batista is tied for second
Washburn is fifth.

Conclusion:

Signing a bunch of mediocre and expensive FA starting pitchers that pitch to contact, and then putting a crappy defense behind them gets you fired as a general manager.

Heh, fitting...

I just found out that I have an indirect connection directly to Batista (through one of my wife’s friends). Fitting that he got the loss…

Bwahahahahahaha. Terrible…

I didn't take it that way, which is why I responded with the sob thing.

Then remembered sarcasm doesn’t read well, hence the apology/explanation above. It’s just how I talk, my redneck roots showing. If I think people are being a prick I generally don’t respond at all.
