By The Way

Print(Because my last post like this worked out so well)
The Seattle Mariners, after everything they've been through, are 11-11. They're one game back of Oakland for the division. The entire spread in the AL West is only 1.5.
The next Mariners game is at home, and will be started by Cliff Lee.
The following Mariners game is at home, and will be started by Felix Hernandez.
I don't know if you're one of those people that needs some time to get back into the swing of the baseball season, but if you've been taking it lightly so far, it's time to start paying attention. Cliff Lee, King Felix, and a division rival. This weekend, our 2010 season begins in earnest.

For those who may have missed the Jack Wilson play from earlier, I'm attaching the .gif after the jump.

No shit.
I didn’t see this at all until now. When Jeter does this play it’s a ball hit 4 feet to his right…this was like 10 feet!
I fucking hate you Mariners

I told myself when the season started that if we were within a game or two of .500 and within five games of the division lead I'd be happy.
Yeah, there have been some really annoying losses over the first few weeks of the season but we’re still in it and we’re getting Cliff Lee back. I’m excited.

Wow. Just.....ridiculous.
Oh by the way, I finally saw the Mariners bullpen commercial with the painting. I was laughing my ass off. Instant classic. Wish I got those commercials (and games!) down here in S.D.
They're all on the M's official site. The Ichiro/Jr. commercial is amusing as well.

No problem. Here's all of them.
There have been some pretty good ones over the years. Lou the Therapist and Road Trip are definitely worth a look, among many others. Link.

Doh, I'm going to the game on Sunday (my first Safeco game ever, not sure why it has taken me this long).
I guess I’m watching one of Ian Snell, Fister, or Vargas?
Now with more lemon bars!
It has been an exhausting first month, that is for sure
Cliff Lee and Felix against the Rangers makes me so freaking pumped.
What is that throw, 120 feet? 140 feet?
And Kendall isn’t exactly slow, although he isn’t what he used to be.
Amazing play.
Unreal throw, and did Kotchman camouflage the play by stretching at the very last moment?
Or am I just a slobbering fanboy for Kotch’s defense. Both maybe.
by lemonverbena on Apr 28, 2010 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions
I wonder if Kendall might have thought the throw was going to go to 2B maybe
Although it looks like he’s trying to hoof out the throw.

Ya in fact we have like three of them.
It’s getting fucking ridiculous honestly.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

That may be the best play I have ever seen a Mariners SS make.q
Granted, I have only been able to watch the team since 2007, but that jump throw was incredible.
And a couple other highlights

Sadly, there’s nothing on YouTube of his Mariner days. >:(

You'd think the last out of Bosio's no hitter would be there somewhere.

The second play he made in the video you linked to was when he was on the Mariners.

I'm not watching a highlight reel of his Indian days.
That just makes me sad.

Wow.

I was expecting one of those plays to be better than Wilson’s but none of them were. What’s up with that?

Perhaps Vizquel is crying because he isn't nearly as amazing.

I agree. I don't get all the fuss with diving plays.
Sure, the odds of you making that play are lower, but you brought it upon yourself. Range > fancy diving plays.
Or fall on your ass plays because you backpedal like a damned little leaguer.
They showed the replay of Willie Baseball doing that THREE TIMES on the condensed game. It took up about forty seconds of the condensed game’s time. Seriously. In baseball, if you do a backwards somersault, you’re doing something WRONG.
If you take all the other shortstops in MLB
and plug them into that play for Wilson, do any of them make it? Criteria:
Have to make it to the ball
Have to jump and turn in the air
Have to have the arm strength and accuracy
Thanks for the .gif
I missed the game due to this thing called “employment” and fell asleep before the replay last night. Two words concerning that play: fucking sick.
He may not have a pretty face but man that is a beautiful play.
Thanks for posting the gif!
Jack makes this play in his sleep
Not even exaggerating, I was not all that impressed by this play. I have been spoiled by Jack’s defense for many years. This play will struggle to crack his personal top 5 list of 2010.
