I mean more he was rather good at having one foot on the bag and managing to stretch his way to wherever the throw was coming in.

I don’t remember him being especially mobile otherwise.

But there’s no way he’s replacing Griffey as the every day DH. So what’s the point? There isn’t one. Hugs ain’t enough for me.

Think of it this way:

Griffey K’s, we lose the ballgame.

Milton gets a hit, we tie the ballgame. Milton gets injured running the bases. We lose Milton.

I’d rather lose the ballgame than Milton.

They're not bad, they can play over.500.

The team we had out there this weekend is actually kind of average, with Tui, Byrnes, Sweeney, Griffey, Moore, and Johnson not being much better than replacement players. Combine that with the fact our bullpen had a bad weekend (even though are starters weren’t bad), they’re just going have trouble winning in that park with this team. We could have won at least one of those game, too.

Someone couldn’t choose a worse series to judge the M’s.

by refuse2lose2010 on Apr 25, 2010 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Right

If Wak knew how to make up a lineup and he and Jack knew how to construct a roster.

Comiskey (yes, I know it’s not Comiskey) didn’t beat us. Wak and Zduriencik did. Plus a shitty effort by the bullpen.

We really didn’t deserve to win any of the three games with the lineups that were out there. Also, we’re 9-10 with magnificent starting pitching so far and during an easy stretch of our schedule.

I like it on the Bill Murray factor, but it’s one of those movies where it runs a bit long without enough funny, even though the funny is fantastic when they get to it.

I was trying to find Bill Murray movies for a friend.

He hadn’t seen Ghostbusters in about ten years, so we had to do that, and it still holds up I have to say. Stripes, not so much, but there are great moments in it, like the recruitment office and the on-field demonstration, it just largely falls flat in the second half.

I’ve been trying to think of others to watch. He’s not so much into the Wes Anderson thing though, which I can understand, and Lost in Translation, while good, is not especially funny. Broken Flowers was another possibility, but again, it’s not outright funny.
