9/25: Open Game Thread
Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners
I'll just come right out and say it - for a while now I too have wanted to give Ichiro a nice swift punch in the head. Mostly because I tend to hurt the things I love, but also because I want him to feel the way I feel. I want all of them to feel the way I feel. Forget about your seasons, Mariners. Forget about your careers. This is about me. Think about what you have done to me. Legally I'm pretty sure you can all be tried as purveyors of torture.

Yeah same here
except he was decent before and after his M’s stint and catastrophically bad during. That pissed me off along with my inability to spell his name correctly

Eh he wasn't catastrophically bad
He wasn’t even close to the biggest problem on that team- they just wanted to let young SS Jose Lopez play and it was a lost season so they scapegoated him

Barring reports otherwise,
I would assume this is a game MLB would just let Washington and Florida skip making up since it has no playoff implications.
If so, that effectively buys the Ms an extra half game on the Nats for first overall.

If the Nats played today and lost
and we won, Nats would then be ahead of us for first overall.
With them rained out, even if we win today, we still have a half game lead over them.

Hmmmm....
Bakerland, regarding Riggleman’s retort to Ichiromania.
Remember, though. Riggleman was not the manager earlier on this season. He also wasn’t around at all last year, when the team had a meeting at Tropicana Field to discuss gripes, including some directed as Ichiro.
Pardon Me, but what the hell is this “last year” garbage about? I thought last year’s team had “Chemistry”?
Can’t have it both ways…unless we’re blaming Ichiro for last year’s collapse as well.
