PrintMariners! Padres! This time it counts. More than yesterday. But less than the regular season. A lot less. Like 100% less.
Listen live at 12:05. Lineups from Baker. Also of note: it isn't yet certain whether Ryan Feierabend will have Tommy John Surgery. It's all but guaranteed that he'll have some sort of procedure, but he's going in next Wednesday to let Dr. Yocum figure out the extent of the damage. If it's just scar tissue, he'll be out one or two months. If it's worse, then yeah, peace out 2009.

I hope this is Felix's year.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

Thanks for the sunshine and lollipops
It almost makes this feel like a real baseball game.
Free Stephen "Awesome" Strasburg!
Fuck it.
Today I’m pretending anyway. Happy Felix Day!!!

C'mon Halman and Wilson!
Do something with this opportunity.
And let Jakubauskas pitch an inning, please.
I have a feeling
MLB Audio is not gonna cooperate again.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Dammit
I’m not going to be able to listen.
This makes me sad.
Also, Zduriencik is a sneaky liar! He said Fear was going in for surgery! Oh well. I should have known better than to believe anything before there was a press release about it.
It's the economy, Manny!

yeah.
It’s not great, but I don’t know if I want to shell out money for the actual audio, since I plan on doing most of my paying attention with radio/TV this year; so I suffer. Woe!
It's the economy, Manny!
Slooooowww and buggy.
Random pieces of innings are missing. I think the MLB web developers use ST as a a testing ground for new features and untested code, given how hard it is to get to it and how crappy it is.

Bahaha win that roster spot you sonofabitch
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
is this game on FM radio at all today?
It was nice having it on 97.3 yesterday, but it doesn’t seem to be there today.
Wow.
“Their new manager is a guy named Don Wakamatsu, who is obviously part Japanese, but you could never tell by looking at him.”
Fucker.
But you left out the “amazing” bit, which was the kicker.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
From the SD announcers:
“The new manager of the Mariners is Don Wakamatsu, who is obviously Japanese but you’d never know it from looking at him – amazing!”
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Waitaminnit...
How can you be obviously part Japanese, yet people can’t tell by looking at you???
“Amazing” is right….
It's the economy, Manny!
The Mariners are clearly going to romp to the playoffs this season, if today is any indication.
Because if you can score 2 runs off the Padres in Spring Training, you can do anything.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
We're going to the World Series! This is the defining moment in the season, clearly.

Which is better/worse, “Reegie” or “Chone?”

I don't think that's a reasonable reason for liking Hawk Harrelson.
Maybe being his kid would be a reasonable excuse. MAYBE.

I just like his folksy style
It hearkens back to an earlier day
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
To each their own I guess.
I just see Harrelson’s “folksy” attitudes not being “old-timey, Americana values” folksy and more as “Pickup truck with a confederate flag, shotgun, missing teeth, beats-my-wife” folksy.

Meh, it's not like that was even open for argument. "To each their own" and my opinion of Hawk doesn't seem like an opening for an argument.

What?
Does Seattle really have three runs already, or is it more of that stellar mlb.com programming?

We actually have 3
Padres have 2 now.

LaHair in Left Field!

Listening to this makes me wonder what the games will be like next week when I go to ST.
If LaHair could be in LF then Griffey could be put in CF.
I think putting LaHair in LF is a not so subtle indication that he's not really in contention for a roster spot
No way they put Griffey in center
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I don't think they're going to play anybody important out of position though
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Griffey doesn't even want to play center. He almost didn't go to Chicago because of that.

Quite a few, actually.
Kansas City’s #1 draft pick in ’01, the #9 overall, was a guy named Colt Griffin who supposedly threw 101mph all the time. He basically did nothing in the minors and was out of baseball in 2005.
The Padres had both a Colt Hynes and Colt Morton in their org last year. Since the former’s a P and the latter a C, there’s always the possibility of a 2 Colt battery.
Well, then....
I’ll be dipped. Thank you for the information….and the delightful pun!

I hate you, GameDay
Is it just me, or does Edwin Moreno look like Pepe Vidro?

I just heard Sunshine, Lollipops and rainbows on ESPN.
But it was for a golf commercial.
BOOYA! You got Slurved!
OH MY GOD CALL THE COMMISSIONER THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
ST games often end in ties – they’ll usually play a 10th inning but then it’s up to the two managers whether they continue or not, and most don’t bother.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Oh, I'm not outraged
Just a teeny bit annoyed, and amused that this is sort of what happened yesterday, ie; we had it kind of in the bag until the very end. They outhit us today, though, it looks like….mlb.com says it’s still in progress….
It's the economy, Manny!
From Drayer's Blog...
Just got back from talking to Felix. He talked to the group and then granted me a chat after as he usually does. He told us over and over that he was just trying to establish the fastball. When Washburn heard this he agreed that he was doing the same thing and joked that he hadn’t thrown anything but the fastball in his bullpens.
“If my fastball is on, my fastball makes the other pitches better,” said Felix on the importance of the fastball. He will however have to work on the other pitches and he will have to work on those away from the Mariners as he leaves for the WBC March 1.
Hmmm…
This signature space for rent.
More like...
The other pitches make his fastball better. Christ, when will he get it?
It's strange that he watched and idolized Pedro Martinez (behind Freddy) and he still thinks the only way to pitch is to establish the fastball.
