So, even though it was a loss...

Bedard’s back, right? Because Adam Jones has a .408/.489/.769 (9 extra base hits!) and there needs to be some sort of consolation prize.

There is no consolation.

by msb on Apr 18, 2009 9:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes, Bedard is back.

But, the trade was still stupid. But we need to get over it, it’s done. We don’t have Jones and we didn’t get Varitek/Lowe in their glory years. But that’s what happens with bad trades.
We’ve got Bedard. Hopefully, he’ll be around long enough that we enjoy a September to remember.

There is no consolation for that trade.

Just get over it, and enjoy Erik.

To be fair though, this isn't about wallowing in despair

It’s about being mindful of a trade that may still cause significant damage to the Mariners. Of course the trade cannot be reversed now, but the possibility of salvaging something from it is still playing out.

I still...

hate losing!

Frustrating night with no run support.

by mwalter on Apr 18, 2009 9:54 PM PDT reply actions

I was at the CF bleachers at teh game but it looked like EriKKKKKKKK was being squeezed the enitre game can anybody say yea or nay?

It was a tough night and the crowd got bored in the top of the ninth and we just did the wave until the inning ended.

You got slurved bitch.

by Slurvey on Apr 18, 2009 10:09 PM PDT reply actions

There is never, ever, ever any excuse to take part in a wave.

But yes, Erik did seem like he was getting squeezed. It wouldn’t have mattered though, because the offense was absolutely offensive.

Ronny Cedeno should get an open tryout for short very soon.

by cwel87 on Apr 18, 2009 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions

I also believe that Clement should be getting some time in as well.

I’m getting pretty tired of Yuni right now and while Cedeno isn’t the answer he should at least be given a chance at SS especially since tomorrow is a day game and all and that would be a excellent time to put him in.

You got slurved bitch.

Hey Jose Lopez, you want to start doing some of that shit you were doing in the WBC?

Anytime now, bud..

And just wanted to point out one more time how DONE Mike Sweeney is

by Rudy4three on Apr 18, 2009 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions

That was one of the more ugly games I saw everybody was taking bad swings at pretty much everything.

And…

EriKKKKKKKK was solid, his pitch count got the better of him though. Corco was K-ing guys and getting flyballs. White is doing the impossible as well.

You got slurved bitch.

So I only caught glimpses of that game

What the fuck was Rob Johnson doing trying to steal second in the 8th?

by Graham MacAree on Apr 18, 2009 10:41 PM PDT reply actions

Being aggressive!

Wak Ball!

by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 18, 2009 10:41 PM PDT up reply actions

When I saw him take off I knew it was gonna be bad.

You got slurved bitch.

by Slurvey on Apr 18, 2009 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Right after Sims commented on not seeing the percentages of Johnson stealing that late in the ballgame when down.

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

by JAH on Apr 18, 2009 10:49 PM PDT up reply actions

Aggressiveness is good

However, down two with one out already in the 8th – we don’t need the extra base that bad

by mwalter on Apr 18, 2009 10:50 PM PDT up reply actions

He had some explanation involving Jackson being slow to home plate and expected him to throw a ball in the dirt

by Rudy4three on Apr 18, 2009 10:51 PM PDT up reply actions

At least he had a reason?

by Jeff Sullivan on Apr 18, 2009 10:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Its always good

to bank on the pitcher throwing the ball in the dirt

by mwalter on Apr 18, 2009 10:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Well, it was Edwin Jackson.

by Matthew on Apr 19, 2009 7:42 AM PDT up reply actions

He is still a catcher though.

You can call him a “speedy” catcher but he’s still a catcher and shouldn’t even be stealing bases.

You got slurved bitch.

RE: the wave tonight

I hate the wave…absolutely hate it. Want to shoot everyone who does it. But some creative section in LF decided to have a counter-wave occur while the first wave began. So there ended up being two waves going in separate directions, and it worked amazing. Did I mention I hate the wave? But it was damn impressive. That is all.

I fucking hate you Mariners
