And freshly dyed hair!

I wonder if he owns stock in Just For Men?

It's very sportscaster-y

Joe Buck has similar hair, but he’s going to need hair-in-a-can pretty soon.

I inferred that they wanted to know who fans thought was the best Mariner closer in their prime.

Since Norm Charlton is out of baseball and all. Putz at his prime was much better than Aardsma.

by HARRYP09 on Aug 27, 2009 7:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ah.

Was that a phone vote thing or something?

~I'm on the DA~

by section331 on Aug 27, 2009 7:01 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, it was the pre-game poll. "Which Mariners closer did you have the most confidence in?"

Norm Charlton – 17%
Eddie Guardado – 6%
Kaz Sasaki – 36%
JJ Putz – 17%
David Aardsma – 24%

by HARRYP09 on Aug 27, 2009 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, OK

I think a lot of the people who vote in those polls most likely focus on what’s going on this year. In his prime, I would far rather see JJ.

~I'm on the DA~

Yes.

And that’s coming from someone who never thought she’d say that.

~I'm on the DA~

by section331 on Aug 27, 2009 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would much rather not see J.J. Putz in the 9th.

I assume the question was about pitching, in which case, if J.J. Putz was pitching in the 9th, that would mean the Mariners, who I guess were facing the Mets, would be tied or trailing at the time.

Seeing David Aardsma in the 9th could mean many things.

by Matthew on Aug 27, 2009 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If they were facing the Mets it could be the World Series!

…or some interleague game in June.

I never really liked the old tagline.

If (like my mother was able to) I could knit without looking, I might go.

But as I have to stare at what I am doing, and count out loud, and often take back out what I have just done, I don’t think it is for me.

by msb on Aug 27, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It just seems contrary to everything I know as a baseball fan.

I can appreciate them trying to fill the seats, but it’s just strange.

As Norville pointed out, you can occupy your hands and enjoy the ballgame

I think the count is now some 20 teams doing the promotion

by msb on Aug 27, 2009 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I thoguht that I had heard that they were doing it in other cities.
I just get absorbed in the game and talking to friends about the game; I don’t even bother to take notes anymore because I just like watching the thing progress. I think knitting would be too much distraction for me. Also, clapping might prove dangerous.

Blowers says that the Royals fed off of Greinke's hot start for a while.

Huh. What do you know, he’s right. At one point this season they were 18-11. Good on them.

Fister had an obvious strike three on Pena

And then he hits a home run. Fucking gay

People say this but it is not true.

Most likely it will be roughly true, but there is nothing that states luck has to even out for a given player, or team, over the arbitrary 162 games.

Matt White

VERO BEACH, Fla. — Matt White, a journeyman pitcher trying to make the Los Angeles Dodgers, could become baseball’s first billionaire player.

It has nothing to do with his arm. He owns a rock quarry in western Massachusetts.

White, who has appeared in seven big league games in nine professional seasons, paid $50,000 three years ago to buy 50 acres of land from an elderly aunt who needed the money to pay for a nursing home.

While clearing out a couple acres to build a home, he discovered stone ledges in the ground, prompting him to have the property surveyed.

A geologist estimated there were 24 million tons of the stone on his land. The stone is being sold for upward of $100 per ton, meaning there’s well over $2 billion worth of material used for sidewalks, patios and the like.

Yes, their defense seems to be pretty bad

And with the HRs coming from unlikely quarter I guess this will be a fluke loss.
But fluke or not, we lose a chance to make up a game (Red Sox lost today) against a poor team.
