Saunders goes by Michael, not Mike.

You know your team suck
When you allow fatass griffey to score
by Jose Lopez's swing on May 11, 2010 5:41 PM PDT reply actions
Really?
I seem to remember him being worse than Kenji last year, and given his other skill sets being, well, lacking, I assumed it was just another hole.
I'm a big Kenji fan.
No need to tell me. I just didn’t realize Rob was at least passably good at it. Confirmation bias rearing its head, I’m sure.
Griffey looks like the Uncle on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Kind of.
Right now I'm dreaming of Carl Crawford. Maybe next year...(or this year at the trade deadline)...
You're right
it must have been someone else. Hmm….
Right now I'm dreaming of Carl Crawford. Maybe next year...(or this year at the trade deadline)...
I'd go with Carl Winslow from Family Matters.
Griffey needs to pack on just a few more pounds though.
Carl Winslow and Uncle Phil had sex once and it created a black hole in the center of the universe.

There's no way they can demote Saunders now.
Or Langerhans or Wilson for that matter.
Bye bye, Sweeney.

I really do feel bad for Griffey
It’s gotta be tough to come to terms with no longer being good when baseball has been your entire life for 20+ years. He really needs to though.
My Mariners blog SodoMojo, My Twitter Feed
They mentioned that on MLB Tonight
I feel bad for him too.. but not that bad.
Correction.
…when baseball has been your entire life for 20+ years.

Based on his prior comments about stepping aside for a better hitter, I think he's come to terms with it.
It’s management’s job now.

The poem is Jabberwocky, but the creature is the Jabberwock.

So what Gamecast is telling me
- Cliff Lee hasn’t struck anyone out
- Loafie has been bad
- Michael Saunders clearly needed to get out of AAA
- Josh Wilson is still good
Cliff Lee has K'd two.
Otherwise, fairly accurate.
"Loafie has been bad"
You needed to look at Gamecast for this?
This is like when Christy Mathewson told the other team he was only throwing fastballs
and then tossed a 1-hitter.
So that's not a bad time to bring in a quaity reliever, right?
What're ya gonna do with those pies, boys?
