Balentien had a real nice approach tonight in his ABs. Wouldn't mind seeing

him out there again tomorrow, with Gutz struggling right now, and Endy in the midst of his regression back to normal.

Wish we’d spread these runs and hits out instead of exploding then going idle for a couple games.

Russ Branyan should also hit his homeruns less far so he could hit more of them.

I think it was a hope for more consistency rather than an attack on clutch hitting

HOLY SHIT I WITNESSED THE BEST GAME EVAR

Even the Yuni-getting-four-hits thing. Which was outweighed by the Russell-getting-five-hits part.

I shouted out to Paul Konerko that "FELIX WILL ONLY THROW FASTBALLS" while he was in the hole.

He turned around and smiled at me, acknowledging what I said.

Then Felix struck him out with a nasty breaking ball.

I think we heard you on TV, then.

Dude no way

Sounds like me.

I’ll have to check to be sure, though.

I was trying to introduce a co-worker to the Felix-fastball conundrum

and he threw like 3 out of 4 breaking balls, made me look like an ass but caught someone looking.

Hard to tell who, the tv at the bar we were watching was at a bad angle.

by hcoguy on Apr 28, 2009 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions

It was Konerko, and it was the at-bat I described above.

Konerko was caught looking on a great breaking ball, fell right into the zone, he looked foolish and he clearly knew it walking out of the box. I blame myself for feeding him bad information.

If I recall correctly, that was a changeup.

Looked curvy to me, but then again I was drunk and hollering stupid shit most of the game.

I fit right in with the home team crowd.

I'm tempted to head on over to the stadium today and shout "ERIK WILL ONLY THROW PAIN" to the Sox batters.

See if I can’t push my luck.

I think that comment got buried somewhere at the end of the first game post for the nightcap.

I laughed hard.

Yeah, I posted it, then Jeff closed comments like 20 seconds later!

Hay guise

Look Raul Ibanez plays great defense!

by appleshampoo on Apr 28, 2009 10:01 PM PDT reply actions

Well, now he takes pride in his defense!

The real Raul will be back shortly.

by Sinking Away on Apr 28, 2009 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions

I like how unnecessary that little skip he did at the end of the second catch was

That ball was fairly routine.

by OlSalty on Apr 28, 2009 10:09 PM PDT up reply actions

With Endy out there, the first catch would have looked totally routine too.

Raul is slow.

I really liked that one time we had an infield of Beltre, Betancourt, Bloomquist, Brousard, and Burke.

That was good fun.

By the way, despite my previous dismissal of hockey as a sport for homosexuals, I am now on the bandwagon for my home team of the Washington Capitals.

About tickets...

So I am coming into town in a few weeks for a game or 2, and I am wondering…Does anyone know, is the ticketmaster feature on the Mariners’ website the only way to buy tickets through the team? Because the ticketmaster interface is the most offensively frustrating to use piece of garbage that I have ever encountered. It takes like an hour to browse for different types of tickets, and gives you very litle control of where your tickets actually are. Is there another way to go about this, outside of buying tickets secondhand? Appreciate the help.
