I love how we are watching Griffey and not the game.
Seriously, there should be a split-screen on Griffey at all times.
That used to be half the fun at some of the Dome games, watching the bench.

kinda like
Beckham cam for the Galaxy. Worked well for them.
Also, what the fuck is Kenji doing.
...and now I'm here
71 pitches--will Bedard go another inning, or is he done for the night?
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I guess he stays in unless he allows a runner
but I’m terrified now
by Bearskin Rugburn on Jul 7, 2009 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions
So does this help or hinder
our quest to trade Bedard?
Don't know.
That’s why I ask people smarter than I. This is the first game I’ve been able to watch all year that wasn’t in Boston.
I do not see anyway that it could hurt.
He’s been fantastic.

8 strikeouts through 4 innings?
Am I reading that line correctly? Dang.
The Mariners won by five runs 22 hours ago.

So couldn't you make that a strategy?
Throw your bat at the bunted ball.
Actually, I take it back
Chris Pronger lacks the warmth and depth.
Fuck Anaheim.

Him breaking McAmmond is grounds for murder
by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 7, 2009 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I did a quick YouTube search for McAmmond.
Poor guy, 2 of the first 3 videos are him getting wrecked. Although the other one is a GWG in the Finals so there you go.
PS. Good God that Downie hit was ridiculous. If I was McAmmond I’d still be knocked out
Go Nova
You probably should've specified who or what we were supposed to be praying to
Because I think we got it wrong.
I'm listening to radio, is FSN still crapping out on you guys?

Also, Jak is in.

At least you got to miss the stinging Matt Wieters line drive single.

I'm not seeing anything odd.
Broadstripe issues?
I doubt it since the other channels were fine

And apparently PITCHf/x is down now.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
.287/.356/.497, .365 wOBA in his last minor-league stint with the Marlins in '08.
It’s his major-leauge numbers that suck.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
And holy christ good numbers in Albuquerque do not count as good numbers
by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 7, 2009 8:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I didn't look any further than Fangraphs.
His walk rate in ‘09 is absolutely breathtaking. Glad we’re not the only team in the league with SS issues.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Play Willie Bloomquist at SS!

This reminds me
some dude was chanting this at the last M’s Angels game I went to. I’d never heard this at a baseball game before.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
I keep watching expecting him to do a roundhouse kick afterwards.

Are we supposed to be watching the umpire, or the butt-thrust?
It’s sexy

A bit off topic
but does anyone have that old pic of Griffey blowing a big pink bubble? I had it saved somewhere on my school harddrive but don’t have access right now, can’t find it online for some reason.
"Part, fools!

No, it wasn't that one, unfortunately.
He was looking straight at the camera and had a bat in his hand.

This search makes me realize how much I despise Google Images.
I originally saw it on there less than a month ago, where the hell could it have disappeared to?

"Digging for Second"?
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
I wouldn't be at all surprised if all of the balls Lopez hit for doubles or homers
were pitches thrown at the same speed in the same spot.
Hendrickson ain't givin Griffey no respect

My gf was trying to get me to remember his name
the other day by describing him as the guy on the Dodgers last year who sucked and struck out all the time and it took me several minutes to remember that he had played on the Dodgers and I’d seen him in person.

Nomar?

Yeah but a lot of that was due to the broken wrist.
Jones just went from good to suck overnight
Go Nova
Bobby Abreu's stolen more bases than Ichiro
by Bearskin Rugburn on Jul 7, 2009 8:52 PM PDT reply actions
He's played longer
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
His stolen base total this year
is one of the most baffling things in baseball to me.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
It's like he decided that the whole power/patience/average thing wasn't working
and decided to become Juan Pierre
by Bearskin Rugburn on Jul 7, 2009 8:55 PM PDT up reply actions
I saw a repeat of the 2005 Home Run derby the other night
and remembered that was the point when his power disappeared.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
?
Juan Pierre has only taken more walks one year in his career then Abreu already has this year
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
That was a bad comparison, you're right
I dunno… Figgins?

Rickey Henderson lite
Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
He's at .300/.400/.440 this year.
Early 90’s Tim Raines?
Yup...not where he meant to throw it so the ump said 'ball'
I fucking hate you Mariners
So odd
Lackey’s line until 15 minutes ago: 4.2IP 4H 0BB 6K 80 pitches.
Then he proceeded to cough up six runs.
by Bearskin Rugburn on Jul 7, 2009 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions
He couldn't get anything against Murphy
something about giving up a homerun to an overweight has been seemed to have wounded him

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Now I really don't have a good feeling about this.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Was it me..or did Cedeno have a real good chance at getting the runner at 2nd on that slow hit ball to him?
I fucking hate you Mariners

The Lopez error?
Because, yeah okay, Lopez blows.

Was it the 'hit by pitch' and 'Trembely freaking out' though, or Bedard?
I fucking hate you Mariners
Albert Pujols syndrome.
They got too used to a great thing.
Pujols is appreciated in general, but not nearly enough.
He doesn’t get 3 times the attention Ryan Howard does even though he’s 3 times the player.
He did misplay that.
That’s one he usually gets that we scream about. Damn, he’s human.

Wasn't really ours to begin with
and was a lost cause pretty much as soon as Jaku was brought in. Olsen would have been a better bet, I think.

Righty-heavy lineup
Jak was the right move.

So that's twice this inning an umpire hasn't called strike 3 and the batter has gone on to fuck us

The umps are so impressed they award him an extra two runs.

Rob Johnson, Chris Woodward, and Ronny Cedeno
Is what I was getting at. That’s more than one person.
by Pessimistic Optimist on Jul 7, 2009 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions
That misplay by Gutz was just really shitty luck.
He read it to his right off the bat and it sliced to his left, just enough to force him to turn, which cost him his bead on the ball. Shame
Line drives to straightaway center are impossible

Rob Johnson is a waste of everything that is human.
