It's weird to think that this is a matchup of two teams in first place considering how much terrible is littering the lineups.

Isn't Silva on a short leash?
I thought I read that if he doesn’t produce in this start that Wak is gonna smack that ugly ass grin off his face. I could be wrong.
Supposedly
but I get the feeling this is not Silva’s last start, even if he does get knocked around.
Absolutely. A grin that just screams, "I ATE SHIT!"

MMMMMMMMM NOM NOM NOM TASTY SHIT.
That, ladies and gentlemen … is how you earn yourself a shit-eating grin.

You must be mistaken
The Series Preview mentioned nothing of Carlos Silva pitching today. If you insist on jumping into a game thread I urge to at least make use of that valuable resource or else you might be in over your head here.
If only I had a link to the article on hand and the players involved.

Oh I am definitely moving to Utah now. What's next? Not buying any liquor, that's for sure.

I was hoping it might stick around at least for the game tonight,
but I think I already hate it.
I troll by attacking the lifespan of your memes
also, I hope Silva gets a complete-game shutout today
I like Ryan Divish
From Wakamatsu about Ronny Cedeno before the game — “We’re definitely going to get him in on this road trip.”
I went to school with him at U Montana.
We worked at the student paper together .. he’s awesome.

Would anyone like to type out what the keys to the game are?

If I don't want to see your comment I can't collapse it
For something like this it’s harmless, but do it anyway to make it habit

It's mostly a problem with gifs and pictures I think.
No subject line means you can’t collapse the message which can be the cause of problems for some people’s computers.
And things with excessive swearing/sexual references
For those of us at work

The last ten minutes before a game starts always seem to go by the slowest
it’s not just me that thinks this, right?
I completely agree. As for this Keystone Light commercial ...

Wish our offense was less horrible
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Well Silva is off to a dandy start
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
The perfect scenario today is for Silva to give up 7 runs in 4 innings and for us to win 9-7.
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
I wish I could bring myself to blame Silva for that but it was just bad luck
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Exactly, he doesn't have any stuff.
Like the graphic before the game said, as a Mariner.
5-17
6.59 ERA
Is Willie Ballgame coming up to the plate with Sweet Child of Mine playing?
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
LETS GO SILVA DO YOUR CONTINUED THING
Oh no Dave just compared Silva to Grienke.
So Silva has emotional problems
wonderful
HOLY SHIT
THE IGNITER! They used that for Willie’s graphic!
What?
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
FSN showed a pic of Wille and his season stats
and at the top of the screen it had the title of “The Igniter”
screenshot please
How did I miss that
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Oh OK
It wasn’t on the batting average/stats thing it was on a secondary screen
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
And we're off:
I love DeJesus with a passion.
I hate Silva with a passion.
All is right in the world.
This game is off to a fantastic start
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
I see this as a loss that will help bring more wins later.
The further Silva gets from starting, the better the team will be long term.
I have zero faith that we make the playoffs after the last two days
by Graham MacAree on May 6, 2009 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions
You had the same amount of faith on the day before the opener
so whatever it’s far for the course
by JI on May 6, 2009 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I have less faith in our playoff hopes now than I did before the season
Yay being reactionary

Sidney Ponson is a fat piece of shit as well
so we have that going for us
by JI on May 6, 2009 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Hoping Olson, actually
then we don’t need to burn Vargas before an expected start (whenever Silva’s next turn would be)
Nice play Branyan
I expected a 3 run HR
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
No he puts it in the zone.
The Mariners get themselves out on pitchers who throw outside the zone.

WHOA?!?!

If that would have gone out I would have turned off the TV.
Please get out of this inning with just the one. Please please please.
I won't turn off the TV until Miguel Olivo hits a home run
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Well it looks like Silva's done
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
So I just flipped on the game to see -- what else? -- Silva's giving it away in the first inning already!
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
This is the moment where Mike Jacobs shits all over the Mariners' first place hopes.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
It was so obvious I'm inclined to not give myself any credit for it.
Because frankly I was expecting Jacobs to hit a monster home run. That’s what he does to shit pitchers like Carlos Silva.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Everything you predict comes true
please predict four homers for Frabklin now. It’s our only hope
Jacobs is a two outcome kind of dude. I wonder which one we'll see here?
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Why are the Royals' last names direct printed? That looks icky
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
That's for sure. He does NOT sound like a happy Mariner camper.

This game is more fun to watch using NexDef on mlb.tv
You see the reactions in this game thread and then sit back and watch Silva implode on the delay
SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA SILVA
I would love if the defense refused to field any balls until Silva is taken off of the field. Or if Silva refused to pitch until Yuni is replaced. Or both.
Fucking....ugh.
I hope Wak is a man of his words. Silva is a bag of shit.
If Vargas comes in to do long work instead of Olson or Batista then I think we can be pretty confident
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
If Silva repeats the 1st inning again in the 2nd I can't imagine that we won't
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
The worst part is, Ponson made the Mariners look stupid in the top half.
This game should be a slug fest, but it’s going to be a blowout instead.
Lately, everyone makes us looks stupid in the first four innings.
Waiting to spit out the "Doublemint Twins".
Gotta love the game being over after one inning
What with the shit Silva is shoveling up to the plate and our piss-poor offense
I'd rather know a little about a lot than a lot about a little
I didn't do it to be a dick, but a lot of people have been misspelling it.
I figured, as one of the major regulars, you would appreciate knowing how to spell his name.
PULL HIM AFTER 1 INNING!
"Get up you crazy black man, I'm gonna make you drink my piss!" - Will Ferrell.
Silva's probably thinking about the clubhouse spread right now
and this isn’t even a fat joke
Carlos Silva's current WPA = -.226
in one inning of work, he lowered our chance to win by 23%. IN THE FIRST INNING.
How is Sir Sidney Ponson still a Major League Baseball Player?
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Niehaus
Can anyone tell me why Simms takes over after the first few innings?
I’ve been wondering this forever, just never thought to ask/find out.
Thanks!
I think Niehaus just prefers the radio so he spends most of the game over there
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Thanks, I knew he went to radio just wasnt sure why.
Is there no other reason that he just likes it better?
I'm pretty sure that's it
What Niehaus says goes

Just in case
How fast does ISO stabilize typically?
can Junior run a .140 ISO the whole season?
It is weird that losing this game may mean the Mariners have better playoff chances.
That’s what happens when you subtract a negative.
...and now I'm here
This is a good thing
most people like having jobs
It's like subtracting a negative!
...and now I'm here
Let's layoff Silva!
Sorry, Carlos, we can’t afford to keep you on. You do great work, really, we hope you land on your feet.
My presumption was the worse Silva does, the more likely he is out.
Though yes, winning anyway would be nice too.
...and now I'm here
Well he's already pitched poorly out of the gate so losing won't help much
by JI on May 6, 2009 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions
I wouldn't mind a WFB homerun.
THEN let’s win the game. Make sure to really rub in the point before it is rectified.

Wait Yuni is standing nearer to second?
Fucking finally.
I think, but I'm not sure, that I would rather watch a
Beluga Tits start. He is stupidly slow though, so I’m torn.
This pleases me.
I was just trying to show how much I hate Silva starts by saying what other horrible things I would prefer.
It's going to be funny as fuck when
those two switch places.

Does DFA stand for Designated for Assignment or Down for Anal?
Urban dictionary seems to think both are applicable.
