So we can't beat a rusty John Lackey nor Mike Palmer
Stay tuned for 9 innings of Ervin Santana shutout ball.
So... maths time...
Mariners at 18-22, 6 games back. Rangers at 23-15.
If the Rangers play .500 ball the rest of the way, they end up 85-77. The Mariners would have to play .549 baseball (67-55) to tie. We’re sitting at a comfortable .450 pace.
Anybody else feel like it’s 4th down on the 50 yard line yet?

The Rangers were projected to be about a .450 team at season's start.
Not totally sure whether that would still stand, but that’s worth mentioning.
It is.
It might explain why the Angels inevitably win the AL West again. Part of all this is the Mariners playing better than they are. A .550 clip the rest of the way doesn’t seem likely right now.

Losses are team stats.

Felix sucked in general.
Or at least it looks like he did from a cursory glance at his line.

I'm counting on Bedard
Although I’d love a win tomorrow since I’m going to the game

I can't wait till a year from now...
Lopez and Yuni will be gone.

I hate to say it but losing Beltre will probably be good too.
We need to free ourselves of these “aggressive” hitters.

Man...
It is sad how lost Beltre looks at the plate right now. It’s almost like he knows he isn’t going to make contact, so he’s guessing. It is impressive how he can manage to still play such a solid third base even while he struggles offensively.
Then post alternatives.

You're dismayed that we're paying for him to suck.
Come up with alternatives for this season… that is, for the now… or you’re just paying him to suck until free agency.

Weird?
While true I don’t really feel like we should pay for his decline
Said in response to Matthew’s factoid about how much value Beltre has been to us.
Things easy to infer from that statement:
Beltre is being paid by us
He’s not the same value as the past
You’re not happy about either one
Logical conclusion: You think he’s done being valuable and it bugs you we’re paying for a declining player.
I don’t really care what you think about Beltre. What I said was that if you have alternatives, I’d love to hear them. I’ll say it again: “whining is easy… coming up with solutions is hard.” The solutions on what to do with Adrian are even more difficult considering the team’s current situation and roster construction.

Also, I find it strange that you are singling me out for whining about Beltre
since I’ve never once called for him to be benched or traded.
If I wasn’t clear enough I apologize, since I in no way meant what you think I meant, but I thought it was pretty clear we were talking about him leaving as a free agent.
First of all,
I disagree completely with your logical conclusion. I found it pretty clear that the context was free agency and even without that, the included clause “while true” is a pretty big indicator that Poochie was agreeing with me that losing Beltre puts the team in a tough spot and therefore, the remainder of his sentence naturally falls under the idea of re-signing him.
Furthermore, rosterbation is frowned upon here and encouraging it is even more frowned upon.
Finally, your attitude in this subthread is far from optimal.

Rubbish.
If you’re going to use that logic, you might as well ditch Ichiro first.
If we are going to lose Beltre it’s going to be to the benefit of the team’s overall long term future health, not to “free” ourselves from an unattractive style of play.

Yuni and Jose's style of play is very unattractive.

I'd like Gutierrez to field a train.
Too much? Yes, no, maybe?
