PrintOur line drives get caught. Their 0-2 just trying to foul it off swings go for doubles. Can we at least lose a game 10-11 or something? You know, for variety's sake?

Carl Crawford gets to third
Faster than I could get to first
I feel like our WE is at about 90% right now. Anyone? Anyone?

Even when our WE is 90%
It might as well be 50%.

It's fucking amazing. He has the Griffey curves, although a lot less, but runs like hell.

There's an 18.51% we don't give up the run

Shocking.
It would be cool if we ever caught a fucking break. I mean, really? This is such shit. So many games we could have won, but something like this happens.
This happens frequently when you score very few runs.

Cliff Lee is going to look back on his career someday and think
“Remember those couple of months when I was a Mariner? Ewwww.”
You're dead to me.
But what about all the fun times he had in the clubhouse?
He will cherish those memories for life.

"Cliff Lee deserves a much better fate than this"
Yes, like the Yankees or Red Sox come next season?
Can the Sox afford him?
Another +30 starter signed to a long-term deal. Glad WE didn’t sign lackey though.

8 innings, 10 strikeouts, 1 walk, 2 runs, and he's going to get the loss
He must love pitching for the Mariners

This sucks and all, but the Rays are one of the best teams in baseball, Matt Garza is really good and their bullpen is really good.
It’s not losing games like this one that pisses me off.
It doesn't piss me off in theory.
But in practice, this game on top of the 20 other games exactly like this one pisses me off.
Yeah, I'm not pissed off.
Just exasperated. But if you want to be pissed off, just go search twitter for #6org
Can -someone- Rob Johnson please give Cliff a reach around?
It is the least we can do we fuck in ass repeatedly.
This whole statement confuses me.

This is a good idea
I think they should do this.
That should be Griffey's plan from now on.
Walk up to the plate without a bat.
If Langerhans doesn't hit this inning Wak is retarded

Would Griffey have success in Eric Byrnes' softball league?
I’m thinking no
Can't stay back on the curve ball.
Can’t lay off the splitter.
Can’t wait on the change.
It’s probably easier to list the things he can do, at this point.
I wish we were facing HoRam right now instead.
THANKS BAVASI
I just realized this makes no sense.
Please disregard.
Please stay in Florida you turd.

Is Griffey enjoying himself this season?
IS HE HAVING FUCKING FUN?!
I can't believe he's making $3 mil
I bet Lincoln bought AEG stock for its 2005 price last week.

I looked up earlier and saw it was 1-0 late in the 7th. Then I just checked back and it was 2-1 Rays.
And I laughed. I really did. I laughed out loud.

I'm not worried about the M's.
We are better than our record shows. 5.5 back is nothing.
That's my grammar
They are like half off in May.
It’s still 5.5 games back
How far were the Rockies back this time last year?
I’m just saying, the season isn’t over.

So do all the Japanese players

Yeah
It wouldn’t be so bad if our starting pitching wasn’t by and large absolutely phenomenal followed by wonderful defense (again, by and large). That we are a mere 1-2 runs a game from being a good team is ridiculously tough to swallow on a nightly basis.
Yes.

Grienke feels the pitchers pain
Pitch Brilliantly and get a ND/L
So would we get more for Lee
if we dealt him now? Look at his shiny ERA… and a full season? We could house a better offensive team with what we’d get in return.
Maybe his price drops so much
We have a chance to bring him back
No GM is going to look at W-L record. I just think the media, who is hung up on W-L record
will bring it up.
Well you can hold onto that hope if you would like.

I feel like we're almost to the point where it's comical.

GRIFFEY HANGING UP HIS FUCKING CLEATS. I CAN’T CONTROL THE CAPS, SORRY.
At least Cliff Lee is awesome to watch.
That was the best pitched game I have seen from a Mariner all year [admittedly I have watched about six games so far].
He was on fire today.
The huge strike zone helped.

What do you think it would take to bring luck back?
Poythress, some shame, and some cash?
Why did Griffey play today? Because he lives in the nearby area?
Glad to see we’re serious about getting back in this race..
Lefty against Righty.
Because he is obviously the better matchup than Sweeney.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.
by the other side on May 16, 2010 1:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Sweeney has been DHing against righties the last 3 games, and he's homered in all 3.
Reading one of the blogs Wak made it sound like Griffey played because he lives near Tampa, and had friends and family there.
I thought he said matchups during the pregame interview. You are probably right though.

Sweeney and his ludicrous reverse platoon split.
Why did he get most of his PAs against lefties as a Mariner when the career-long trend for him is hitting righties far better.
Tortoise and Hare approach
We’re waiting for the Rangers to stop and showboat.
was he just talking about pitching?
There’s no WAY he could think that about our offensive execution. Or maybe his standards have plummeted so much that seeing a few hits and walks by Saunders and Bard made his day.
by universalguru on May 16, 2010 1:45 PM PDT up reply actions
He certainly wasn't talking about baserunning.
I’m not one to rag on Guti, I would have his children if I could, but you don’t make the third out at third base, NOT EVER. Especially on a team that rarely sees runners get to 2B.
by TrustBaseball on May 16, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions
How did Figgins, Lopez and Kotchman...
lose every bit of offensive talent they ever had?
