Reports surfacing that Chris Jakubauskas has been claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jakubauskas was a decent pitcher for us this season coming in roughly average. He's not a big loss.
And here's the official press release link.

By the cincinatti reds, not the red sox.

Cincinnati
Given that we acquired Manuel from the Reds, that makes me laugh except now they get Manuel and Balentein and we get nothing

Oh, sweet, so we traded Wlad Balentien and a PTBNL for Robert Manuel, and then Robert Manuel was the PTBNL.
When Z doesn’t like a player, he really doesn’t like a player.

You mean the site that spelled Manuel and Cincinnati wrong was wrong?
:O

We had 10 spots open already
Why the fuck did we need to open up an 11th?

We need to open up a space to pick up Jeff Clement after he gets DFA'd.

LOOK AT THE WPA!
YEAH LET’S LET HIM GO BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT POSSIBLY CLAIM EDWARD PAREDES AND WE SOMEHOW MIGHT CARE ABOUT THAT IN 5 YEARS

I'm not arguing that it wasn't dumb to put him on waivers.
Just that I always enjoyed the Jakabaustrich.

Yes,
Sad Jakubaustrich :-(

As long as guys like Jakubauskas are replaceable we may as turn those guys over to keep things fresh.

...what the devil....?
perhaps I was off on my Rule 5 rules and we do need to add Ramirez and Pineda. That’s funny because I thought logic might apply and that players wouldn’t be counted until they were actually using the facilities.
Whatever. Manuel is nothing interesting. The Ostrich is a loss. I’m going to let Marc represent the outrage I should be feeling because I don’t have a lot of energy at the moment.

You're having the reaction now that I had when we got rid of O'Flaherty.

YOU'RE UGLY
YES I KNOW I’M UGLY TOO, BUT I THOUGHT YOUR COMMENT WAS TRULY INSENSITIVE GIVEN THE TIMING. TOO SOON, IS SORT OF WHAT I’M GETTING AT.

He was uglier than Jeff Clement's defence
I cannot comprehend why anyone would be upset that he’s gone

The Sex Cannon and the Sextritch are going to lay waste to the National League now.

Z is trying to get rid of some of the team's ugly
so he can sign Lackey.

We already signed some ugly to a two year contract.
I have this feeling we’re over our quota.

Should really put together an “All Ugly” team. The Mariners would already have more then a few contributions…

Still technically alive.
Minor league free agent now, though.

So.....if we have this many roster spots open, why would we feel the need to try and pass him through waivers?
Seems unnecessary.

I've been away for a while (work, family,etc) and have not been able to keep up with the Mariners on day to day followings
but if Jackie Z keeps up peculiar moves like this I am guessing his shine will come off rather quickly. This was a great guy to have around who could run a stellar ERA in spot starts. I am hoping there is much more to the PLAN.
by Right Guard on Nov 20, 2009 2:29 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I see no reason why this should change anybody's opinion of GMZ
We A) don’t know the full roster addition/subtraction story yet, and B) while at first glance these moves seem odd, we didn’t just DFA Felix

They don't even seem odd
If you’re emotionally attached to Jak, you feel sad. If you’re not, it’s a chance to annoy Marc. It’s not like it actually impacts the team.
by Graham on Nov 20, 2009 2:33 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
They only seem odd to me was because we already had 10 spots open, and we're certainly not adding 10 guys to protect from the Rule 5
and now we have 12 spots open.
I’d be fine with DFAing Jaku or Manuel at a later date once we have somebody to fill their spots, but at this point it seems unnecessary

Giving away generally replacement level players isn't really going to change anyone's opinion of anybody.

Last time people had similar reactions my brother got his toes bitten off by killer whales.

Aww man :(
Not sure why we had to put him on waivers in the first place but he’s replaceable.
Goodbye Jak, I didn’t think much of you as a player but you’re damned photogenic and we’ll always have that.
Now find me someone who’s easier to pun.

For Fogel's sake, maybe Z will sign a pitcher who doesn't lack key punning possibilities

Jakubauskas gone doesn't mean his name is hard to pun!

Sorry
I haven’t been an avid reader until recently. Was/still am a USSM fan, but picked up on this site because I’m a huge John Morgan fan and, well, it’s a part of the SBN network…

No it's okay
I’m pretty sure Paul was just referring to that from the getgo and didn’t really feel the need to point it out tiil Corco asked because I figured he hadn’t seen it before.
