I'm away all day, but I'll try to update the LL Twitter if anything happens. Chances are, though, should something go down, you'll be able to hear about it sooner somewhere else, so stay on your toes.
Meanwhile, hey guess what else Beltre and Bedard don't have in common.

Because of Beltre being back soon and no trade happening yet, I'm just going to keep hoping we can gain on the Angels
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
We need to gain on Texas first
It’s less demoralizing to look at the distance between us and the Rangers.
Chicks dig the long ball.
Kevin Millwood was pulled from his start with an injury
something says the Rangers are dangerously close to joining us non-contenders.

Especially now that Vicente Padilla has swine flu!
Which is fucking hilarious. Because come on, if you had to choose one MLB player, going on their official photo alone, who looks like they would catch swine flu…it’s Padilla.

Goddammit. The only thing that would even remotely cheer me up about the AL West was the Rangers beating the Angels for the top spot.
Fucking Angels. Every year, every goddamn year, it seems.
I don't know how to stop.
Seriously
Why is it so hard for Wakamatsu to hit a non-DH in the clean-up spot. Gutierrez needs more at bats.
We are going to pick up a game in the AL West standings today,
dang it! We are. Believe it.

You know, I just want to say that I was totally wrong about you, and I apologize.
Although Chicago Law pwns Columbia Law six days of the week and twice on Sunday. RIGOR!
(Sorry, I can’t help law school trash-talk, it’s second nature.)
I don't know how to stop.
Well thank you for that, at least the first sentence,
but don’t jump to any conclusions yet. I am still fairly likely to make a distasteful post soon and swing the pendulum the other way.
And, with all due respect, I don’t care much for Chicago Law. Their students tend to trash talk by saying things like “pwns.”

No, that's just me. And to be fair, I graduated a year ago, so you can't lay that on their doorstep.
Seriously though, I was too harsh on you in that Felix post. I misapprehended your intent (I thought you were “pulling a JI”) and that’s on me. And I don’t care how many distasteful posts you subsequently make — your modern day “Casey At The Bat” has earned you a bagful of mulligans.
I don't know how to stop.
No worries,
I was pretty obnoxious in my Felix post. And I chose to make the post about Felix because I knew that was a topic that people would get a bit riled up about (as I would).
And, in truth, my obnoxious posting days may have come to a sad premature end. Now that I don’t have a secret identity, I feel a bit constrained.

The following commentary was pretty sweet, and my natural position is the straight man
Graphs not so much. I could use Crayola markers on big sheets of paper, and post a picture. Good enough?
Cliff Lee is going to no-hit us.
Deep in my heart, my fears are going to become reality.

Getting hits off of him wasn't a problem last time.

God, don't remind me about that game.
The freakish distribution of the hits only made it that much more enervating.
I don't know how to stop.
Good to see Vargas back with the big club.
I like what he’s done as a starter and think he’s could be an excellent #5 guy, but I wonder if he might have a brighter future as a high leverage reliever (he has a pretty pronounced career minor league platoon split and major league platoon split, but he can still get righties out well enough to not be a loogy). For now, though, I’m happy to see what he can do in the rotation.
He can be a LOOGY that can work through righties
that’s way more valuable. if you have two lefties sandwiching a righty in their lineup, it’s no problem.

It makes a cracked sort of sense if you've seen him during his occasional mound outings.
It probably won’t amount to anything, but credit to the Royals for doing what internet wiseguys have joked that they should for awhile now.

I know he's been okay pitching
somehow the idea of him appearing as anything but a joke just makes me laugh.

My prediction: 3-0 Indians. Lee doesn't no-hit us but suppresses us something fierce.
I don't know how to stop.
Lets make this interesting
If the Mariners are within 5 runs either leading or trailing at the end of game I get to control your facebook for September 09. If not than get to cockpunch me once at the of time and venue of your choosing.
Making multiple cockpunch bets at one time seems like a recipe for disaster.

This doesn't bode well for the three-way talk:
The Dodgers and Indians are in serious discussions about a blockbuster that would send left-hander Cliff Lee and catcher Victor Martinez to Los Angeles for first baseman James Loney, one of the Dodgers’ young starting pitchers and prospects, according to major-league sources.

It makes no sense
the division is as close to locked up and their rotation would actually be better in a short series than it is during the regular season.

I think someone was hit by pitch, but Rizzs is shutting my auditory processors down.

He’s making it hard to follow who is doing what.
It's about the same
