Wohooooo go M's...

Sigh Free Clement… Free Saunders… Free Cedeno… Free Vargas…

We need a bailout… I’m probably overreacting a little since but when you fail to hit the fuck out of Padilla/Ponson/HoRam/Niemann/Jackson you know there is something wrong with your offense.

You got slurved bitch.

I don't understand why our GM is content with our current catching situation.

I also don’t understand why we haven’t seen Cedeno the last couple games at SS. He’s healthy isn’t he?

I know this team has shortcomings and a .500 season would be a big accomplishment for this roster.

If they would just commit to:

1) Cedeno in at least a split duty role at SS
2)Clement in a platoon with Johjima at C
3)RRS or Vargas in place of Silva

I could live with whatever happens on the field.

These moves can be made and would help the team reach it’s limited potential.

So does this mean Silva is out of the rotation?

As far as I can tell he has not confirmed it yet.

But it was implied in his last speech to the press, and is currently expected in the satire piece at USSM.

...and now I'm here

Wasn't confirmed still I think

Baker said Silva is awaiting his fate.

Drayer said he pitched himself out of the rotation

I think Wak pretty much confirmed it. The team took one for Silva today.

The team isn’t going to take anymore. Confidence be damned. We’re going to win if we can. Now I hoped he’s had that same little talk with Yuni, although I doubt that Yuni would understand. Sit him already and let’s let Cedeno have a shot at it.

Waiting to spit out the "Doublemint Twins".

Here's the latest.
But there’s a growing sense in the organization that having Silva step away from the rotation for a while could free his mind from the turmoil he’s put himself through. Few Mariners are feeling the daily pressure Silva has, given his poor results last season, his desire to please his teammates and an angry fan base, and his frustration that nothing he’s tried seems to work.

Other issues will come into play, like how Chris Jakubauskas does in his next outing on Friday. But this latest Silva loss, giving up six runs on eight hits, a hit batsman and a balk, could make him the first domino to fall.

“We’ll talk to Jack and the staff the next day or two and see where we go from here,” Wakamatsu said, in reference to general manager Jack Zduriencik.

How about stepping away from the organization?

Not just the rotation. We should just do what Arizona did to Russ Ortiz.

Anyone notice that when ESPN analysts expected us to be good(2008) we then suck.

When much isn’t expected(beginning of this season) we flourish. We begin to look good and Eric Young and Kurkjian say we’re gonna be in contention and everything collapses. Stay away from us you unlucky bastards.

by russak on May 6, 2009 8:56 PM PDT reply actions  

Same people who say that the Cubs are going all the way before every season.

Seriously guys at ESPN/SI/Fox Sports/Any other mind numbing “analyst”, please stop talking.

by Fin on May 6, 2009 10:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Is the balk gif-worthy?

Sadly I missed it and want to know how shittastic it was.

by Brian Floyd on May 6, 2009 9:22 PM PDT reply actions  

You would expect that sort of AB from Yuni

But not from Branyan. Man, what a let down.

by Fin on May 6, 2009 10:37 PM PDT reply actions  

Six pitch at bat with three takes?

I think you’re talking about a different Yuni

by seattlebruin on May 6, 2009 11:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ok, yes, I agree

You would’ve probably seen him swing at the balls going in the dirt.

by Fin on May 7, 2009 12:15 AM PDT up reply actions  

Does this mean that Silva is now a veteran who has been through the wars?

Or was the carnage not enough to call it a war? Maybe it was just a minor border skirmish.
