That was an awesome first M's game for my wife, she'll never forget that.

11 runs, some weird bunt shit, a couple nice defensive plays, and a nice night by Ichiro!

This is the team that Z built.

There’s still some changes I’d make (Griffey, Sweeney, Johnson – but it’s still early) and hey, PLAYOFFS!

During this game Rob Johnson

Let a ball hit him. Not a foul tip. Just a normal pitch. It was stopped not by his glove but by his body.

What catcher does that??

Oh and Playoffs!!!

It won't be long before the pitchers who feel like he calls a good game,

got to have him, etc, realize that Moore is the way to go. RJ is not long for this team. Although he did do a good job of getting on tonight. If only this catcher could catch.

We may well be OK.

We are not set up to be an offensive powerhouse, but if pitching and defense play out the way they could, we’ll be fine.

Wins we get when this team is crippled are much, much more important than wins we get when we're at full strength

It’s probably luck, but it’s luck that effects our playoff chances supremely when our worst ttrue talent roster overperforms while waiting for our best true talent to be ready.

I'm an old woman.

What the heck does this mean? Do you not believe that we could go to the playoffs with this team? I don’t think we can (we need to have Lee and Bedard and we need to lose Griffey and Sweeney) but I think Jack Z knows how to fix this. I’m purposely trying to be as confusing as you. Let’s straighten this out.

by TrustBaseball on Apr 17, 2010 12:28 AM PDT up reply actions  

It means we got lucky

And even an old woman should appreciate that.

by short on Apr 17, 2010 12:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

I can appreciate luck.

I honestly don’t think that’s what the game was tonight. It wasn’t luck. It was the team that Z fielded. It won’t perform this way offensively every night like it did tonight, but it has that potential against some teams. And Z thinks that the pitching and defense can do this against a whole lot of teams. Personally, I think that Jr., Sweeney, and Johnson don’t have a place on the team that takes us into October baseball. and I don’t think GMZ does either, but they are here for now and we are looking at an almost .500 team. We’ll get there and beyond. It’s going to be fun.

It means that our crappy players replacing our good players overperformed

And if they overpeformed in their limited time here, it means that even if their better replacement regulars perform exactly up to their expectations, the overall result will be better than then projections expected. To what degree, we don’t know. Or maybe our natural replacements underperform, but we know that the most likely outcome puts us ahead if we assume our normal people perform exactly as their projections suggest. When the replacements do way better than they were supposed to, it changes our ultimate yearly outcome.

God, typos

Hope you get the point anyways, otherwise I will elabortate.

I must say I was rather impressed with the crowd tonight.

It got loud a few times, lots of people seemed fully aware of how awesome Felix was (the groan when he gave up the first hit was much more pronounced than it ordinarily would have been) and it just seemed more involved than usual. It’d be nice if that becomes a trend.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 17, 2010 12:32 AM PDT reply actions  

I was at the game, and it seemed like the crowd was definitely more into it.

It didn’t seem like there needed to be much prompting from Big Brother (the scoreboards) for cheering to happen.

However, the bitch in the Cubs t-shirt in my section that tried to start a "Let's Go Cubbies" chant

and also attempted to start the wave every two minutes and was paying so little attention to the game that she cheered loudly for the Tigers after cheering for the Mariners all game, should be impaled on the top of smith Tower.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 17, 2010 12:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

eh, don't be too hard on her, she's a Cubs fan

She probably thought she was attending a Cubs game.

Come on, man.

It’s not like she dissed on Milton Bradley.

But aren't all Cubs fans retards?

Someone needs to drive a truck full of real bears into Wrigley field. Torch wielding midgets wearing Milton Bradley masks could rile them up! That would show those Cubs fans.
