Jack Wilson hasn't played since last Wednesday, and isn't likely to return to action until next Monday. This team could really stand to be more vigilant about putting people on the DL.

There are easier things
Batista is still taking up a spot on the bullpen.

Rally Fries needed to go away last offseason
Maybe if they switched it to something more healthy I’d be more into it.
I'm not a big fried food fan but rally tofu would just make us look like pussies.
Mike Scioscia is fat.
Bill Hall! That also was weird, Sweeney is crazy today!
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Yes, and the comment was in response to me saying "Sweeney is crazy today!"
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Well fuck, nothing he could do there really
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
So I was thinking about Sweeney always batting fourth.
Guess what our cleanup spot in the lineup has produced this year.
.222/.288/.384

Oh,
And our #2 hitters have somehow managed to put out a .295 OBA.

Did you know that he was born John Paul Bonser?
Why the fuck would you legally change your name to Boof

I was just about to type exactly that, but I decided against it

I don't have photoshop but if I did the first thing I would do
is make a picture of Jose Lopez with his head on the top of a Pez dispenser. Lo-Pez, it would be golden. Someone with 10 minutes and suitable software should do this.
I looked up Jose Lo-pez on Google, and it was mostly women in bikinis

Turns out I am deficient in the shortning arena.
I think it will be the first “wacky cake” I’ve made since high school.
That's what it is called ...
chocolate cake made with flour, sugar, cocoa, vegetable oil & water, with soda and vinegar to leaven it.
Ooooo...
And where is it that you live, now? ;)
I need to learn how to at least make rice crispy treats or something…
~I'm on the DA~
He couldn't handle a short hop on a line drive single earlier. He's only gotten like 2 chances
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
3 chances actually I think, spaced out on that fly ball just now
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
I don't understand this, but I love it
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
That one was the least pathetic looking of the 3
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
I said pathetic looking
There’s a big difference
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Pathetic looking as in, the swing looked clumsy and you don't undertsand how it got out
It doesn’t mean the home run was pathetic
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Pathetic looking as in his first 2 Mariner home runs
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
I actually thought that one looked quite nice

Franklin is so sexy.

Well shit and shove me in it.
Look at our shiny offense.

So
Do I parttake in the pre-order of post-season tickets NOW, or should I wait until we get our asses handed to us tomorrow?
~I'm on the DA~
Also: don't buy it (unless you want to?)
Not sure if you live in their jurisdiction, but I just checked and the King County Library System has the translated version! Seattle just has the Spanish one.
I usually buy books
Because I am a really slow reader; I just don’t have a lot of time to read, so I prefer to buy them so I can take my time. I think you can get it in paperback for like $12. Not too bad.
~I'm on the DA~
I like that French is cheap, young and under club control for 5 more years.
And that Washburn is a free agent in 2 months. That trade is just pure excellence. Plus we got a minor leaguer, and we got to witness Kenji’s revenge.
Preach it!

Am I the only one that thinks Progressive Field,
just the actual baseball field part, looks a lot like Safeco?
The wall shapes, lawn pattern and dirt landscaping seem similar.
Isn't it the first stadium that kicked off the modern design for stadiums?
Or was that Camden Yards? And the success of the sellouts was the cause of other cities willing to pay for them.
In his gameday photo, Bill Hall looks estatic to be in a Mariner hat.
The Yankees suck-a-doodle-doo!
It was kind of like "Here, this guy's in our minor league system, and he's an OK pitcher with lots of wins."
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Tuning into a 7-1 game is really great.
But I wonder how the bullpen going to try to screw us.
Theyll put Batista in.
The Yankees suck-a-doodle-doo!

Recinded.
You just better hope we have some runs scored on us before the unspeakable happens.

I thought he was referring to runs being scored, not Batista coming in.

Yes, that will be a different (and another darn hell effective) way from the past few days.
Is Carlos Silva available?
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Gutz has the best UZR of any player in baseball
That’s awesome
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Well he's been on top for CF's for awhile now
But this is the first time I’ve noticed him as being on top of everyone
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Among the top 10 in UZR
you have five or so playing at premium positions. It’s crazy.
I'm curious as to how far up Adrian Beltre would be if not for missed time
He’s 20th as it is
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Nyjer Morgan has a 15.2 UZR
Gutz has a 16.9 UZR
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
It's because of playing time, but I'm choosing to ignore that
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Saying Gutz is the best defender is basically like calling Joe Mauer the best hitter because of his BA
Even though Ichiro has more hits. I don’t think it’s a great analogy though because it doesn’t totally make sense
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
No, it's like saying
“Mauer as a higher average” to a comment of someone saying “Hey, Ichiro leads the league in hits.”
Well...
now that Olsen has been sent down and Batista hasn’t shown up for 10 days…we might still be unscrewed.
Our 0.5% playoff odds think you're crazy
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Let's not give this lead away please
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Sorry, I'm watching Nadal on my tv and baseball on the laptop.
I have a bet on Nadal winning the second set.
Seems to have the base running skills of Yuni.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Ball beat him by a mile....you'll never get that 'safe' call in baseball.
I fucking hate you Mariners
How dare Josh Wilson go for third base
when it took a perfect two throws to make it close and he was actually safe!!
French is a swinging strike machine tonight
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Hey dumbfucks..talk.
I fucking hate you Mariners
And you should always be wary of the SS

Hannahan was at a really awkward angle for that play
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
3 TRUE OUTCOMES!
I fucking hate you Mariners
His load is probably replenished by now
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Bill Hall sounds like the name of a fundamentalist evangelist.
What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
There's some guy running for Shoreline city council named Will Hall.
But it does have a sort of Fred Phelps ring to it.
Has anyone else noticed
Hannahan’s thick, muscular thighs?? I was sitting about 20 rows back from first base and…They are like tree trunks!!
Whale.

Think of it this way...
On this date last year, we were more than 30 games back in the division and 27 back in the wild card race!
None that I recall. They generally only interview players who had a positive contribution
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Except, of course, a tiny baby counting every grain of sand in the world in a single second
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
As much as he scares me every time he goes out there
I would hope he could. if he blows this…mannnnn if he blows this…
Can he be sent back to Tacoma? We should keep him for emergencies methinks
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Look at Bill Hall
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.

Haha
Tell me about it! I’m playing bejeweled, listening to the Giants game, and watching the M’s…procrastinating on studying for my finals!
Thanks for all the tips everyone!
I watch almost every game, and I’ve been following this forum but this is the first time I had the courage to join in!
Cheers!
WIN!!!!! FEELS GOOD!!!
M's sent me my post season ticket payment info today...
It was kind of bitter sweet.
On the other hand...
….after the Bavasi era, getting that when it’s still relevant (even though VERY unlikely) is really kinda smile inducing….
It'll be so satisfying when we make the playoff in the next couple years
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
I resisted a black joke because I'm not like that unless someone else does it first
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Yoyogi apparently isn't here today so don't expect any blatant racism
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Yoyogi not here, and Hannahan goes 0/5...
Coincidence?
Yay!
A repeat of the RRS interview on FSN, and Pittman has managed to drag himself away from Seahawks practice long enough to take back the postgame show from Vinnie
Real small sample size here, but I'm beginning to wonder why we'd ever pay Jack Wilson 8 million dollars
to play SS, when that money could surely boost up other areas of need.
I don't either. But a Hall/Hannahan shortstop platoon could be league average, and give us
a chunk of money to maybe bring Beltre back or use that 8 million to get a guy or a couple of guys to bolster the rotation, or other problem spots
Hall/Hannahan 3B platoon and money to spend on some other shiny new things.
ie trade Lopez plus prospect for Brian Roberts.
