8/28: Open Game Thread
Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners, Aug 28, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
I wonder if Bannister is aware of how hopeless the Royals really are. And if so, I wonder if he's aware of the fact that they're thinking about giving Moore an extension.

I think Brian Bannister models clothes in his downtime.
Possibly for JC Penneys.
About to toss a football around.
My head was going in this exact direction.
He looks like a guy that enjoys a fine scotch after a fine steak, while sitting with beautiful happy people. With the whitest teeth imaginable.
C'mon M's win this one!
You got slurved!
I for one will not welcome our Robert Overlords burst one open J/M/G!
Saunders being benched against a RHP
Meh I would rather see him over Hall against a righty. Still no Ichiro!

Has there ever been a player/GM?
Because Bannister should be made one immediately.
Also, I think that considering all available players, today’s Mariners’ lineup is probably the worst one all season.

And why aren't Halladay or Beckett?

CC will have 20 "wins". He pitches for the Yankees. Yankees will win their division.
CC will win the Cy Young.
That is it. Move on, nothing to see here.
This is why I will be his Chief of Staff in the new administration.
He can’t be trusted with such crucial decisions.

Wow Josh Wilson too? This lineup is horrible

Not sure I'm so fond of it.
But whatever works.

High socks!
Is it a tribute to Ichiro, or just him wanting to look better? I dunno.

Either way I'm a fan
Plus they do look a lot better.

Make him look skinnier I suppose.
Yuni did it once like last year I remember.

Hmm, it's weird.

Damnit Felix..stop being so cute against that scrub.

He does EVERYTHING hard
I feel sorry for his gf and his toilet.

I think he's married

Doesn't mean he's 100% unavailable.
At least that’s what my gf shouted when I told her he as married.

I like the way this inning is going.

“If you get an RBI on a groundball to the pitcher, you’re livin’ right.”
Yeah!
That was awesome to see.

Well I think most people can
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
Nah.
He’ll high-five the dugout, hug a few clubhouse attendents, and then buy everyone an ice cream cone from the machine in the corner
I think Sweeney would order everyone one of those gigantic sundaes
Then give everyone a spoon and make them all dig in at once.

Hahahahaha that was a bad throw but it worked the same.

I like how that throw wasn't even near 2nd base.

Umm... I think Hannahan was safe?

HD Cable is fantastic. You can easily read the lips of swearing infielders.
And Felix has freckles on his nose. I never knew.
So Grif and Sweeney are undeniably good for the clubhouse.
It kind of sucks that they’re both going to be gone next year.

I think Sweeney should be retained as a coach.
Hugathon coach.

Josh Wilson stroked that shit hard.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Bannister is going to see his tRA take a bit of a hit tonight

Oops chat speak, I meant nevermind.
Also poor Robert’s balls.
This makes me laugh every time
I think its the last punch with the polishing off stroke that does it
Not that I haven't seen this fetish about a billion times before.
But c’mon this is LL.

Speaking of Shannon...
I missed the pregame show— what was the Aardsma explanation for the gorilla suit?
To welcome back Yuni?
I fucking hate you Mariners

Did he have to explain his gorilla mask too?

I'm hoping it to end up like the Teixeira trade.
Hated it at first, came to be indifferent or mildly liking it by the end.

Another nail in the Royals coffin-- missing on Pujols.
“His rise to the big leagues is now baseball lore. He hit like crazy in high school when pitchers actually gave him a chance—”I put up sick numbers," Pujols says. “I was a monster”—but he did not even make The Kansas City Star’s first-team all-metro baseball team. He went to Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City, Mo., and in his first game he homered and made an unassisted triple play at shortstop, then his regular position. After a breathtaking 1999 season there (.461 with 22 homers), he did not get drafted until the 13th round by the St. Louis Cardinals that June.
“We all saw Albert about the same way,” says Allard Baird, who was then general manager of the Kansas City Royals. “We weren’t sure he had a position. He didn’t have a great baseball body. We all saw him the same way, and we were all wrong.”"
Wait, did Blowers just mention Jeter in MVP discussion?
Not only would that be ridiculous, but so would anyone who isn’t Joe Mauer
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Yeah, Jeter desrves it more than Tex
But it’s definitely Mauer, it’s not really close.
Fuck Anaheim.
Oh, there are a lot of articles about how Mauer should be the clear leader.
I don’t count Blow as “mainstream sports media”
Ugh. Maybe ahead of Teixeira, but nowhere near Mauer
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
Seems like a bases loaded walk is so rare for this team.
FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS! FUCK THE ANGELS!
It's actually kind of cool to watch Brian Bannister pitch.
He works in such sabermetric ways.
Fans are typically idiots.
