I hope this is the last game we have to wear them.

I think Masterson's name would be more amusing if he were black

It’s like getting Roseanne and Rosie O’Donnell at the same time.
I'm still furious about the series finale but on the whole that was a great show

The whole thing was a book she was writing that had been accurate until Dan had a heart attack.
He died but in the book she made him live and then cheat on her. Also, in “real life” Becky married David and Darlene married Mark. They also never won the lottery, which was a stupid storyline anyways.

Huh, I just remembered she played a lesbian cop in a movie as well
Why do weird facts like that stick but I can’t find my car keys
I forgot about that.
That was fucking annoying because Roseanne’s mom being a lesbian was one of my favorite things about the last few years of that show.

So NESN stays with the 7th inning for God Bless America just like YES.
So far its a NY and Boston thing.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.

It's more fun to take you literally and then mock you mercilessly.
You could also think about asking rhetorical questions, those are really fun to answer
Oh now we get a pitching change.

But White has been terrible, and you need someone to pitch the 8th

Gameday says that the balls were all perfectly acceptable ball calls.
I just got in, so maybe I’m missing something. Is the ump using an inconsistent zone?
I don't know how to stop.
Yeah the balls he were throwing are borderline bt he's giving the calls to the sox.
You got slurved!
Free Tommy Hanson! [FREED]! Free Jeff Clement! Free Michael Saunders!
Gameday showed 1 and 3 in the strikezone for me.
Those were called balls. Pitch 4 was swung on and missed. Kotsay should be struck out.

I see two pitches in the zone
one that was just outside, and another that was hit into play.
Oh well. Just got back from vacation to this.
Should’ve stayed in Montreal.
I don't know how to stop.
Another series victory where we come out with a negative run differential

Well, time to wrap it up, 5-4 road trip is still a success.

Knee high on the outside corner? That's a strike to me.

Kotsay's single.
I’m using the At-Bat app on my iPhone, which plots with pitch F/X as far as I know. On the online version, they look much more borderline. I’d say 1 is still a strike though. Even though 3 was clearly outside on the MLB.com version.

For Chrissake
The guy was all over the place. I know we’re all for computers, but if he has no idea where the ball is going, you can’t argue with not getting a borderline call.
(though I'm not talking about this particular at-bat)
I just think the whole idea of punishing a guy who can’t throw strikes is retarded.
Hm, I guess one isn't as close as I thought.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
But if you're using humans, for better or worse
There comes a point where a pitch could reasonably be called a ball or a strike. If a pitch is on that border, it’s going to be called a ball if the guy hasn’t thrown anything else close.
If a pitch falls in a location that is described by the rulebook as being in the strikezone
it should be called a strike.
So there's no such thing as a borderline pitch to a human eye?
I call bullshit
No, but guys who are having control issues should not be given a smaller strike zone than someone who has his command.
That’s ridiculous.
This is what I'm saying
Given the system we have now, it happens to everyone. Acting like we got robbed is ridiculous.
I have no idea why BJM is pretending otherwise.
Gameday clearly indicated they were balls.
I don't know how to stop.
Pitch one still looks like a strike to me, which would make Pitch 5 a strikeout pitch.
But it is a borderline call.

Now that I think about it the only pitcher that I would trust in the situation Lowe was in would be Kelley since he throws strikes why Wak didn't bring him in depresses me.

I wouldn't trust Kelley more
Lowe or White was probably the right move.

Halman
6-10, 4 HR’s, 2B in the last two games. Certainly would be cool if he could rebound from his disaster of a first half.
Maybe the bullpen was just trying to make Dan Wilson feel at home.
Imploding for a loss, and all that.
The umps want to go home.
Human element, and all.

I will quit baseball if they take the umps out and replace them with robots.
It wouldn’t be baseball without them, Dammit, man!
They can stand there and do their amusing little schtick as long as the calls are being relayed to them by computers!

I sure do hope we beat them.
2.5-3.5 games back after that trip, with the Angels and Rangers playing each other next!

I thought at least Branyan would get a mod.
O well, I am pretty sure if someone gets injured, that Branyan should be next in line.

Here is a question.
If you were standing in the video store, clutching a handful of dvds and visiting with one of the clerks, and the other clerk asked you out of the blue, “say [your name here], do you still have Sports Night out?”, wouldn’t you ask more than “It isn’t due yet, is it?”
If the pleasant-looking person also standing at the desk then added, “no, I was wondering when they would be returned”, wouldn’t you at least turn towards said desk (if not actually make eye-contact with anyone) and say something like"Gosh, what a funny show" or “Almost done with volume one” or even, “Wow, what a coincidence”?
