I'm sick and fucking tired of Rob Johnson.
This is horseshit. I feel betrayed as a fan. This fuck-suck better get the fucking boot. I hate this motherfucker.

After 14 innings, the umps start stripping
and then putting on jackets
Shhh
You might give the grounds crew new ideas for their dancing.

I am deeply impressed by the fortitude of members of this blog.
Generally my heart has exploded by the third extra inning.
We survived last season
It was quite the conditioning

It would be cruel and would certainly net us a loss
but I want to see them bring in Silva.
How many people left in the 13th
And wish they hadn’t?
K here. 1 out.
AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget
It's Washburn's throw day right?

Duh

I think Matthew’s right on it being Silva

The tops of these innings are like overtime playoff hockey on the penalty kill.
I just want to curl up into the fetal position for the next two minutes until it’s over.
Kind of like a rash on your ass.....

I appreciate the wishful thinking for adding "two minutes"
Clearly, you couldn’t have written this while Batista was in.
Good thing:
Felix and Bedard are going the next two days. That’s a chance for the bullpen to rest up.
Why is everyone worried? If the A's score here we'll just get the run back in the bottom of the inning.
Enough to tie it again, but not to win.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Batista is proven to suck
Vargas is still an unknown

We're going to get to see some Denny Stark tomorrow

Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Stark, Lowe, Kelley, Aardsma and White should all be good for 1 inning
and Felix is starting
We’ll be fine
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I would actually prefer they pinch-hit Felix for Johnson or Yuni
then let them swing away. Somehow I trust Felix with his eyes closed more than those two with their eyes open.

Jason Vargas did that with some swagger.
He just turned his back and stood there for about two seconds before throwing.
This worked to rally the Brewers today, maybe you can use the help as well?

Sorry
Didn’t know this was a small image blog. My apologies.

The game started as I went out, I’ve seen four bands, got a tny bit drunk, missed a train, got my train and sobered up.
Come on Ms!!

Walking Ichiro
The only way you don’t win is an unassisted triple play.
AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget
This is the Mariners
I trust their ability to lose in new and interesting ways.

A double play still scores a run doesn't it?
So why?

If we can't do it here, we are truly sad.
I think we’re better than that, though.

Dave's sheer incredulity at the inability of the A's outfield to catch that shallow can of corn is making him laugh his ass of.

I'm happy Yuni gets a spot.
Appropriate that it says ERROR next to his name.
Also, that’s the closest Betancourt has been to 2B all season.

I would hate to be on their side right now.
But then again, we’re the Mariners and we’ve experienced that in excess, so fuck ’em.
I almost feel bad for them...
…because the AN folks are good people, for the most part.
But yeah, we’ve been on the shit end of the stick countless times, so I’m not too sympathetic.

went from something like -36 to -26, weird that it didn’t go more positive.

That ending was fucking awesome. I'm watching it again.

Vargas looks kind of like a young Al Capone

Even more so when I can get a screen cap of todays game.

Wow what an anti-waste of time!
They won without Krueger's keys to the game?

Mt. Dew or Root Beer for me!
I have been known to wear a skirt though, sometimes, during Ultimate games.
I find the grating voice in the old one to be worse.
Old one also makes me like bacon a little less.
