Dallas Braden looks like he's been standing around smelly people for so long that he's becoming nauseated and faint.
Kenji's going to be out for 6-8 weeks, by the way. When it finally becomes evident to everyone that we aren't going to complete, I fully intend on blaming Rob Johnson for everything.

I think he's the first pitcher that actually succeeded at looking scary in his photo
Instead of the usual “Look he’s trying to be intimidating how cute”
I think it looks like a prison photo
Washburn better not drop the soap…

It kinda looks a little like Robert if he could grow facial hair.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Every time I feel like saying Jarrow Washburn now,
I want to say Jarrod “FUCKING” Washburn, but strangely, in a positive way.
How long until we DFA Sweeney?
I’m ready to see if Shelton can do any better.

At the beginning of the season.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
Woooooooooo they've freed Wieters!
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
Earlier today I read a blog post on some Phillies fan's website.
He said that the Phillies needed Bedard and he wished it would only cost Dominic Brown, Jason Donald, and Joe Savery, but because Donald hasn’t done well so far this year, he figured they’d have to throw in Antonio Bastardo too. I know the Phillies have made some nutty trades in the past (the Blanton deal stands out), but that’s absurd, right? I mean, there’s no way Bedard’s worth all that. I can’t believe anybody in Philadelphia would be excited at the possibility of making that trade. Hopefully, that site was run by Ruben Amaro and he’ll be making the call shortly.
Anyways, I guess my point is, thank you Seattle blogging community for not being as stupid as that Phillies blog I read.
I threw up when I read that.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
Though Wallace has about as much of a chance to take Pujols' job as I do
so a move is probably in his best interest.
I honestly don't know
I just that much of what I’ve read says he’s a longshot to make the majors as a 3B and even a longer shot to stick
What do you guys think of Carrasco?
Brown looks like a better prospect for me. Not saying we’re dying for more outfield, but I’d take him.
Well there are a couple weak base hits, I'll take em though!
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"

Dear Mr Braden sir:
Keep it up, please…
~The Official LookoutLanding Poster Who Dreams Of Doing Naughty Naughty Things To Russell Branyan~
I really really really want to stop watching the game.
And leave myself in a good mood for the next couple hours
Oh gosh, Sweeney fell down
Roll out the wheelchair
Will Ferrell once said, "Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!"
Uh
Sweeney FELL DOWN WHILE RUNNING?!?

Mike Sweeney and professionalism
1) He admires his pop fly and barely makes it to 2nd on what should be an automatic double
2) He trips rounding 3rd base
Let’s bring up Dennis Raben already
HAte to say I told you so...

Thanks for falling down Sweeney
And a special thanks to Lopez for sucking

I will even fill the clips for you
And write their names on each bullet
I'd be worried about missing them
But after their displays of athleticism this season I don’t think they’re getting away
I don't remember it either, because I was going to school in the midwest the first few weeks of the season.
I finally get back here, ready to watch games, but by then the magic was gone.
I, for one, think it's ok that he didn't take a bite of ATM
Because ouch and yuck

Speaking of Rob Johnson
Drayer said that Rob said he has to ‘stop being an idiot’ — that he’d been taking everything out to the field and messing up his offense and messing up his defense….
I'd kind of like to see him try for a bunt hit ... to watch him running up the line
it might rival Mike Sweeney
Clement is back at a .300 batting average.
And Michael Saunders is tearing it up right now.
Where did Kurt Suzuki come from? I'd never heard of him until he came up to the bigs
and now he’s hitting way better than any of our catchers. Sheesh…
Um.
Did Giambi just age 10 years this past winter?

If his defense were actually as good as advertised it might’ve been possible, and could still be. But he’s not good enough to play with regularity anywhere.

He's an outstanding hitter right now against lefties.
He has the best plate discipline on the team, and he has much more power potential than he’s shown thus far (he had a .200 isolated slugging in 2007), He’s only 26, and just entering his prime. If he puts everything together he’s a well above average hitter. And he just mashes lefties as is.
That's like Willie Bloomquist homering!
