PrintMariners! Padres! One charity will taste the sweet freshly-squeezed orange juice of triumph, while another will sample the bitter and rotten leftover mayonnaise of defeat! Listen live at 12pm as dreams are fulfilled and hearts are broken. You shall remember this day until the end of the day.
Baker's got the lineups. I'm hoping Jake Peavy lasts long enough to face Reegie Corona, just because, owned.

It would help
if I actually read the whole post wouldn’t it.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Wait I'm confused by MLB's site
I had MLB.tv premium last year, and it said today that it is going to auto renew me for this year.
Can I use my account for Game Day audio?
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Hmm
Looks like it is trying to charge me another $15.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I can't figure out how to make this work

I made sure my auto-renew doesn't happen after a debacle with MLB.com two years ago.
Their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with.
I went to MLB.com, logged in, then went to Watch/listen
Then clicked on the alt/away radio station and it worked.
Going to mlb.tv it tried to charge me to listen.
OK, go to MLB.com and click on the TV icon next to the SF-CLE game.
Then navigate over to the audio.
Alternatively log in
go to the scoreboard page, click on the Audio link above the game and it should work.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
The only part of the lineup I don't really like
is Morse at RF and hitting clean up. But it is a charity game so whatever.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Curse mlbtv for not carrying the game I wanted to see!
Those bastards!
I’m so angry I could write an entire fanpost!
"bitter and rotten leftover mayonnaise"
Which reminds me, it’s also lunchtime…
I’ll be listening to KIRO – Niehaus should be on, right?
It's the economy, Manny!
A-Rod hit a homer
guess he’s unphased.
Also this guy talking on whatever feed that is supposed to be the M’s game is bizarre.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
O COME ON WAKO!!!!
I’m the biggest Mike Morse homer in the world, and he should never play the friggin’ field!!!
What are you an IDIOT too, like the guys you replaced! FIRE THIS GUY NOW!!!!
(even GTE needs a tune-up, I guess)
This signature space for rent.
*outfield...
Morse should never play the OUTfield. He’s serviceable at first and third.

It's a shame that the game's not televised
Morse’s fielding antics are one of the greatest sights baseball has to offer
by Graham MacAree on Feb 25, 2009 11:58 AM PST up reply actions
I've seen bad outfielders. I've seen TERRIBLE outfielders (like, say, the one we stuck in LF in recent history)...
And Morse stands out in a class of his own beneath all of them…

Dave did
But he also said Yuni was our first baseman
Niehaus said it.
I wouldn’t put too much stock into it
It would make things a lot more fun if Balentien shows up and starts to rake.
That is if he ever makes it.
I don't have a radio on my desk at work.
Also I’m in Los Angeles.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Well it seems I can't hear the game
no radio and the stream isn’t working. Or is it just me?
the other angels fan
I'm not getting anything either.
Just a bunch of shit about how I should invest in a van full of janitors or something.
Right? One janitor and a puppy will do just fine.
61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?
Actually this really weird, but I just found my original birth certificate which lists me as Roberto Clemente Beltre.
Apparently we were separated at birth, yet I’ve always found it to be a struggle to get to third base.

Ahhhh.
The class lunch runs for at least the first half of the game, so I get a little springtime.
Eckstein? I missed he was once again a hated rival.
I am surprised that all ST games aren't shown live via mlb.tv
If Baker can stream a blogcast from Peroria, surely MLB can stream this game.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

I called them once already

Kind of a bitch in times like these.
But hey, it’s spring training. I’ll get over it. I was just really looking forward to hearing a few innings of baseball, no matter which scrubs are playing. I can wait a day or two, though.
How to tell it's spring training:
Mike Morse gets a hit

I like the way he hits the ground and shatters his bones.

Argh!
I could listen on XM if I didn’t have Sexual Harassment training downstairs in about 30 min. Of course, my XM radio is currently in my car and I forgot to bring it in.
So, I gather Yuni still sucks, Tui is no Beltre defensively, and Clement still can’t hit.
I know all I need to know, then ;-)

They should have never released Hoffman
If Bell can’t handle the second inning, ho could he hope to handle the ninth?
Whenever I see a player's name in caps and with many repeated letters, I can assume he hit a homer.

Is the box score accurate? Did the M’s score 5 in the 4th?

Hanley Ramirez sucks.

by The Typical Idiot Fan on Feb 25, 2009 7:45 PM PST up reply actions
Well, basically he stands there while the batter gets into position,
then he lifts his leg up, pulls his arm back, and somehow moves his arm forward fast enough to let the ball go at (usually) just the right moment. After that, the batter swings, and he slowly turns around to either watch the ball fall somewhere in an unoccupied space in the outfield, or sail helplessly out into the great beyond.
I’ve got a blog coming soon – stay tuned.

FUCK YES BITCHES ITS BACK AND THIS TIME ITS TUI!'S TURN TO FUCK SHIT UP
LETS ROLL
Soriano into deep right, Ichiro back, at the wall...Yankees win!
Clement threw somebody out, he's already better than 2008.
And Corcoran 3 BIP, 3 GB
from those two things I can be sure of this..
we’re going to the World Series!
I am not use to listening to the game on the radio. I am finding it difficult to follow what is happening.
It also doesn’t help there are names I don’t know.
I'm having the same problem
Niehaus keeps going off on tangents, and not being 100% familiar with everyone just yet is somewhat confusing…today’s game is like someone just closed their eyes and made a salad using random ingredients…
It's the economy, Manny!
Yeah...
I couldn’t listen last year because I had a….job. Unemployment makes being a slack-ass confused fan a lot easier…still, it’s nice to see that apparently our situation has not improved much since last year…I’m a huge fan of finishing what I start…
It's the economy, Manny!
Heh I think I started listening to spring training games back in 7th grade
Mr. Uhl’s class Gault Middle School. I had his class at around noon/1ish and there was an old radio in the portable right next to my desk. Being such a good student he would let me listen, that and he was a former baseball player.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Lucky
I got to oil paint during 4th grade spelling…haha! I grew up in a very small town that didn’t have anything exotic like major league baseball, so I didn’t get into it until a few years ago. I’m kicking myself now, of course….
It's the economy, Manny!
Oil paint!? Really? Are you sure you don't mean watercolor or fingerpaint?
That’s freaking awesome. Like almost as awesome as when I got to use the arc welder in my 8th grade shop class.
Oh, you're not
I lost track of pitchers in between Corky and Messenger. Bah.
It's the economy, Manny!
Damn... hoping for a Halman FB
And yes, to those listening on the radio, this probably happened a half hour ago.
C’mon Oswaldo. Shock the world.
I don't remember
All the fancy angles and 360 stuff, but I could be wrong, too . It feels like forever…
It's the economy, Manny!
I don't remember having the option to change the angle of the pitch viewer.
I guess it isn’t that different after all. It’s been too long since I’ve tracked a baseball game with Gameday.

Seriously
I’ve been trying to find it all game
They don't normally put the links up for game day
until the middle of ST or so.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Extra innings?
I didn’t think they bothered with extra innings during the ST games?
It's the economy, Manny!
They do one extra inning
Then call it off.
"What is Jumanji?" --Jason Owens
Nice to see
it’s one extra inning for a loss. Thumbs up, KAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNN!!!!
It's the economy, Manny!
10 innings is common in spring training
During spring training games, managers are allowed to agree to one extra inning of play if they want. They often do this to allow them more field time for non-roster types. So even when the game isn’t tied, they sometimes play an extra inning. However, I don’t think they typically play more than 10 innings, even with a tie.
Spring training is all about the training. A game too short doesn’t give enough opportunity, a game too long gets in the way of tomorrow.
See? Greg Halman can take a walk.
He just didn’t feel like it in the AFL.
Was I the only one who heard this from Rick
“Greg Halman, kid from the Netherlands… Mariners very high on him…”
Haha, high on a kid from the Netherlands… I hate my life.

Interesting.
Does gameday do velocity in a spring training charity game?
I want to see WE chart
If the game ends in a tie.

Someday I am going to meet dave niehaus
and tell him I am lactose intolerant and eating 3 servings of milk every day would make me very unhappy.
I forgot how much he pimps milk every game.
I hope he's wearing a milk 'stache as you say this to him.

If Kahn does make it to the major's
I wonder if the Mariner’s will be able to use the Star Trek 2 footage. It would be a neat way to finish off a strike out.
Maybe he means
Kahn in the original episode from the 60s?

Foul ball.

Spring training losses don't count.
Soriano into deep right, Ichiro back, at the wall...Yankees win!
And this loss doesn't even count as a Spring Training loss
This is as meaningless as it gets. But still, Strasburg!
Actually the more that I think about it the less this comment makes sense
If Strasburg was to be draft eligible in 2010, there would have likely been some sort of catastrophic injury that caused him to go back for his senior year. If that was the case, I would be really hesitant to use our #1 pick on him. I understand that you are a fan of this particular athlete but if you can’t separate enthusiasm with proper judgment, then perhaps I should be looking towards somewhere else for my baseball analysis. It’s a shame Graham because you used to one of the Mariners blogosphere sharpest minds but it appears that time has turning you into a flailing drool-happy fanboy and that makes the moon shine a little less bright at night.

Actually......
He could be drafted by the Nats, tell them they suck ass and that he doesn’t want to give Bowden some of his signing bonus money and tell them he’s going back to school and enter the draft in 2010
So now we just have to lost 101 more games and Strasburg will be ours!
by seattlebruin on Feb 26, 2009 4:09 PM PST up reply actions
I don't know, I heard he was on record as having said he would not play for the Nationals or Mariners and would sign only with the Padres.
by Aaron Campeau on Feb 26, 2009 4:12 PM PST up reply actions
God dammit
now San Diego is going to win the World Series on purpose, just to shove it in the face of the rest of baseball that they can get Strasburg even with the 30th pick of the draft
