Luke French appears to have discovered invisibility.

WOOOOOOOOOOO GO MARINERS
For some reason, Luke French reminds me of this. Not sure why.

That makes little sense.
But the video you posted reminds me of this one.

Funny because I keep thinking someone is going to start calling French "Freedom Pitcher".
I am ashamed for even typing that.
I plan to implement this immediately

Endy in the house.
He was at the park for team photo day — per Shannon, Beltre must be feeling better as he carried Endy from behind 2b to the clubhouse, with Rick Griffin trailing behind, toting Endy’s crutches.
Did Bill Krueger walk in on his wife blowing three computers or something?

With a deft cultural reference about cash for clunkers.
Which, by the way, ended. Way to be with it, Bill
Oakland is losing so Moneyball was wrong.
Well the M’s lost 100 games with “veterans” so getting veterans must be the wrong way to go as well.
SBN, like seemingly everything I touch today, has decided to be a fuckard.
So no lineup widget for now.
Why are you touching things?

Griffey has some pretty awesome cars.
I work where he takes residence in Seattle with his family and he pulled out in some sort of Mercedes sports car I’ve never seen before. He also has a suped up Bentley sports car.
Illegible
By the way ....

Ja. Wilson is also a chiropracter.
He was just adjusting Hannahan to be sure his back was not askew after that awkward catch.

Wow.
Is this the smallest gap in age for a pitching matchup?
And holy crap Lopez.
We should definitely try to resign him now...tell him he has to play for the minimum because we are the only team that would make him look good.
And then laugh and not sign him for even that.
Looked like he swung to me. Plus that was a bad pitch to even offer at. Just want
to see a little more offensive production.
Then he should buy him a Snuggie.
I fucking hate you Mariners

Wow, Elvis Andrus is one sexy SS
Snagged a grounder up the middle and nailed A-Rod trying to score from 2B.
Do you follow Atlanta much?
I’ve always admired their minor league development. But my impression is the new GM is floundering a bit, I don’t know if that is correct.
He nailed A-rod? Niiiice.

I caught a Mariners game in Japan two summers ago
and they had the raw feed in between the innings on TV. It was great!

Is it just me or did he kind of leisurely push that one to the warning track?

I was going more with the fact that black sounds like Jack and they fill similar roles.
Fuck Anaheim.

Wait, Miguel Batista? I don't think Don Wakamatsu likes getting sweeps
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
The thing about Miguel this season is that he can suck so badly
but than he goes and does that. Its so weird
No clearly im the only one unbiased here
But that was a strike, no question.
He's thrown 10 pitches to get 4 outs
Oakland’s offense may be rated better than ours but it still sucks.
I guess it might depend on how many of them were Mexican.
by Matthew on Aug 26, 2009 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
Because if a lot of them are Mexican
there is a good chance at least a couple have good carpentry skills and can thus build some expansions to your house to better accommodate the large crowd.

That seemed silly to send him, but I'll take it
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Seems like this year, we've had more people thrown out by a mile at home.
Maybe it’s just me, if so, nevermind my comment.
Completely subjective, I'll admit.
But sending both Johnson and Lopez today did not seem like good decisions live, and there have been several other decisions like that this year by Hines, in my opinion.

Are there decent stats out there on RAA in situations of trying to score from 2B on a single?
Quick Google perusal leads to BP’s EQBRR, and I’m assuming EQHAR (Equivalent Hit Advancement Runs) is the relevant component, but obviously this doesn’t narrow it to 2B→home situations. I assume baserunning RAA formulas won’t likely have the same impact as hitting, pitching, fielding, but it is at least a consideration of minor interest, no?
How does Josh Fogg keep getting employed?

I wondered why Jakubauskas was on the pre-game show
“Chris Jakubauskas threw another bullpen session today. He will probably pitch Friday and Sunday for Tacoma in Portland, and be called back up when the rosters expand on Tuesday.”—Baker’s blog

Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles
I love Aardsma, but he drives me nuts when he won't throw his slider.
If the fastball gets the job done, it’s fine. Just a personal pet peeve.
To be fair neither of them were hit hard

Hard to believe (and great) that we are still technically in it.
7.5 back of the Sox, 5 back of the Rangers.
I hope the Yankees (I hate ’em though) continue making the Sox their bitch.
I want to be friends with Mike Sweeney
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Awesome.
And Sweeney continues to amaze (with his off field contributions, that is).
And more Awww
“Mike Sweeney went so far as to give Ichiro a “C” to wear as captain of “L Ben Show” and was thrilled to see him embrace his temporary role."—Drayer.
Holy crap
Seriously. We’re not going for any pennants this year, but could our team BE cooler?
I think not.
~I'm on the DA~
It could have Nick Swisher on it so yes.

Nice
Maybe that dog up there can get in the action also.
5 games left, 4 against Royals.
3-2 equals a losing bet from Robert.
I wrote the dog comment and then started feeling sorry for him.
I mean that dog could rip his jewels off
