I want to feed Woodward some food.
Did you fall in love with Miguel Batista? And he rejected you?

SO, if you are the ump, do you feel abashed when Ichiro gives you that look?
The way you should have been, had you gotten it from Edgar?
Wow Washburn is pitching very well tonight.

I know he's meant to be a stopgap
But I’m totally fine keeping Langerhans next season. We have plenty of other holes to fill, and we could do worse than a patient lefty with good defense and a low average.
We'll see how Saunders does but I'm with you
and Langerhans is under team control.
by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2009 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions
At the very least Langerhans is a good 4th outfielder

I think I'd prefer him as a fourth OF to Endy
And if we don’t have Griffey/Sweeney, he could DH sometimes.
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 6, 2009 8:49 PM PDT up reply actions
We probably could though
If we wanted to.

It was after that game that I stopped lurking and joined
because I hated Mike Reilly so much. It’s not exactly topical anymore but I’m too lazy to change it.

I'm so happy that if the Nats were going to be stupid they were stupid with the Mariners.
I don't know how to stop.
He's a hell of a lot better than Mike Morse.
Still such an unbelievable trade.

and they haven’t figured out how to say Wakamatsu yet. And they haven’t even settled on a single mispronunciation. It’s like,
“…and mariners coach Whack-ah-matsi…. uh, whalkel-metsu…. uh…”
hey, all you need to know

Evidently Wash struck out Ty Wigginton on 263 pitches.
You got slurved!
Hehehe Mark Reynolds is so awesome.
Can anyone tell me about Anthony Varvaro?
I remember us drafting him a couple of years ago. He would have been early round talent, but had just had TJ surgery. We just converted him to relief, and he’s been pretty good in AA, but it could be a complete fluke. Any minor league experts?
OK I have to mention this
Is there some sort of kid guest PA announcer thing going on?
Whenever anybody steps up to the plate, I keep hearing this ominous, mysterious kid’s voice. And it’s impossible to tell what theyre saying

speaking as a Wisconsonian. Although the Brewers’ OF defense isn’t as good(Braun, Hart, Cammie) they still need all the rotation help they can get.

What do we make of this guy?
For a guy on a 43 game hitting streak in the Cal League, his numbers aren’t THAT impressive.
Is this like Ryan Franklin throwing back to back no hitters? (of the 7 inning variety)
Damn.
Regardless of HD, it’s impressive. Longest in any professional league since Pete Rose.

A reliever who throws hard but can't throw strike why isn't he a Marin- oh shit...

Called a great game.
You know its a good night when the 'man hugs' come out.

Holy shit, so Jarrod Washburn was one hit away from a perfect game.
Holy shit.
I don't know how to stop.
Hmmm..
As much as I’d like to have him traded do you really think Jackie Z has the balls to get rid of Washburn after a performance like that?
He will deal anyone if the price is right
by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 6, 2009 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions
Another start like that
and Wash will have a sub-3.00 ERA, oh the bounty that could be had

It's so much fun to see them having fun.
Although a shaving cream pie doesn’t seem like much fun to me.
Nice
1 hit and 0 walks. Excellent! I didn’t realize it was so close to a perfect game until the game ended.
I can’t find a video of Ichiro doing the fake toss to the yankee fans. Anyone have a video of that somewhere?

Man oh Man...
You get shredded on Baker’s blog if you mention trading ANYONE on the current roster.
People are truly convinced that this team is the real deal. They don’t realize that keeping this team in tact is only going to cost wins in 2010 and possibly 2011.
Fortunately Baker's posters don't influence Zdurencik's decision making.

Only if we can't trade Bedard's glass ass for a SS.
Otherwise, Washburn for a new SS to fill a badly needed hole.
Well, I figure Washburn, unlike Bedard, has actually pitched in September in recent years.
The stuff may not be as good, but if I am a GM, I have to take that into consideration.
Plus, Hyphen!

Or Olson.
Either way, they are much more expendable than everyone else.
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 6, 2009 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed.
We need to fill the hole that is Yuni/Cedeno with either of them. And of course you’re right, when was the last time Bedard pitched in September? Any GM will know that answer before a trade is even considered. Bye Wash.

Franklin Gutierrez-OF-Mariners Jul. 7 – 12:57 am et
Franklin Gutierrez went 3-for-4 with a double in a win over the Orioles on Monday night.
His bat has heated up as of late. This was the fourth time in his past nine games that he has notched three hits, and he’s hitting .500 during that span. He’s raised his seasonal average to .293 with the hot streak, and figures to remain in the middle of the lineup as long as he keeps raping.
Trade for Ian Snell.
