Injury report.
Beltre fouled a ball off his foot, out.
Sweeney fouled a ball off his foot, out.
Gutierrez fouled a ball off his foot, will play.
Ichiro fouled a ball off his shin… will play.
from the TNT:
“What manner of pitch, exactly, was it that Ichiro hurt himself on?
"Some kind of fastball," Ichiro said.
Someone mentioned that Ichiro rarely did such a thing.
"If I did it often, that would be a problem," Ichiro said.”
Come on, Ian!
Let’s fuck some shit up old school!

Purcey has the badass slightly-askew hat.
But I imagine it is due more to left-handedness, than to any innate baddassery.
That is not the expression of a badass.
Unless it’s like one of those creepy badasses, like Texas Chainsaw style, where cutting people into pieces makes them think of flowers and ponies.

That's Matthews technique
I prefer to build up from within and make trades that seem retarded at the time but always end up being a major win for me.
I think LL's literacy test should be that new posters have to control a team and not become Bill Bavasi
Many of our current members fail this test!
Great.
Now I have to write a book in 2010.

Sadness. There is no leftover chinese food for breakfast.
Which happens when you feel the need to eat the leftovers 3 hours after you ate the rest of the meal.
It seems like hotwings
Would make a nice early morning baseball breakfast.

Blowers has such a flat accent.
I wonder what a linguist would make of it … with the German mom, latino step-dad, army base & Spanaway upbringing
How will they decide who loses a start so that Felix gets an extra one this year?
highest ERA?
Fewest wins?
rock paper scissors lizard spock?
Two popouts and a groundout!
He’s finally turned the corner!
Not a happy surprise

Snell has walked only one?

My hatred for umpires just grows more and more each day
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
I know, right?
I’m still a little hazy on why he was tossed.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
He drew a line in the dirt with his bat
That will get you ejected just about every time, it’s considered trying to show up the umpire.
You can't draw a line in the dirt with your bat as a demonstration on why the ump was wrong
I remember seeing Rickey do that, and it’s pretty much an automatic ejection.
by drblacknwhite on Sep 26, 2009 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions
He took his bat and drew a line next to the base to show where he thought the ball was.
which counts as showing up the umpire.
Of course, Runge is the ump who was suspended last year for bumping Jerry Manuel…
Thanks all
I figured it was some showing-up thing, but with Jack Wilson remaining in the game after throwing some temper tantrums at the plate, I thought that perhaps there was something else I was missing, outside of the line. So many others have protested far more violently than that and NOT been tossed.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
I've been surprised that it hadn't happened more
not with Ichiro, necessarily, but as I understand it, the umpire in Japan is (or at least was up to a few years ago) treated with no respect whatsoever— insults, physical intimidation by players and managers …
That seems strange to me...
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Robert Whiting has written about it in The meaning of Ichiro:
which I see is available via Google Books. Page down to MikeDiMuro’s story…
Bookmarked!
I’ll take a gander at it later this evening. :D

Now I just want to beat these fuckers.
And send their fans home with a loss.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
So I missed the first 3 innings - has Snell looked as good as his line does?
My Mariners blog - SodoMojo Twitter Feed, Fuck the fucking Angels!
And the rest of him, I hope...

My game is broken.

Snell apparently missed the relay on a double, so Overbay is at third.
"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett http://mvn.com/marinersminors/
And now he scored on a groundout.

I mean just in general
It was a lame attempt at a joke, I guess….

Right.
That just happened to coincide with GameDay being broken for a few minutes.

I saw an interview with Ashley Tuiasosopo where she was asked what her nickname was...
she got this expression on her face like, “you have to ask???”
That is odd.
Why would anyone ask that? People refer to their entire family with that shortened moniker!
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
That seems like a strange thing to hope for.
Or maybe it’s just me.

Olson was in the pen
With Snell, I’d guess yes.

If they gave away the RRS Tyrolian hats, and had him throw out the first pitch
I might be tempted to go to the Oktoberfest game.

A majority of the time it appears to be pointing towards the plate.
I’d say 75% of the time.

His last AB in the 6th was a good example.
When he started off 3-0
All the balls the foot was pointed towards third. Then corrected it on the next 2 pitches (Stike and Fly out)

Lowe's sideburns
Are obviously blocking his field of vision.
"Let this big fucker come in and walk the world here." - Dave Niehaus on JJ Putz
Things we have learned so far.
Brian Runge does not appreciate having his shortcomings pointed out to him.
Leaving many RISP is not a good idea, unless you are the pitcher.
Mark Lowe is not a 2-inning pitcher.
I am now prepared to lose this game.
And somewhat annoyed about that.

But good sir we must first make our opponents get three outs without scoring a run, so extras or "sextras" are not quite inevitable.

Despite that, Runge should try to stop acting like a douchebag.
