Our strategy is apparently to lull our opponents to sleep.
And the strike while the iron is hot. Still in the fire, should reach an appropriate temperature any month now.
Every pitcher we play against is "impressive."
Yes. Or we suck.
So how far behind is my feed... Sweeney just fould on a 3-3 count.

This is just like 2001.
There, I said it. 2001 was kind of boring.
I blame 2001 for luring me into full-on sports fandom.
Which has, of course, resulted in nothing but pain living in Seattle.
Until the moment before we lost the playoff run.

Yes, please. But I will never be party to rooting against my teams for any purposes. Who are we, the Nats?
My bad, Harper.
Getting my newb catchers confused.
Simple lapse in memory.
Trust me, I’ve spent more time than is appropriate looking at Bryce Harper footage. Check youtube for the Tropicana Field BP/HR derby clip.
According to Fangraphs, we're in a better position than Philadelphia over the long haul
Or something like that
But then it'd just be like any other "power rankings"
The organizational rankings did something different.
So current talent is going to last forever?
Because that’s about the same leap of logic that you just took with my statement.
Unfortunately that happens a lot in an online discussion
I could point out that your “Shockingly” comment was a subjective interpretation of what I had said.
Philly’s current talent outweighs any advantage our organization might have in the FO or in the farm system.
I like USSM.
But this place is just… funnier. Being mean to stupid people is more a duty than it is a taboo in my book. Note that I didn’t even read the above micro-thread. Just saying.

Hypothetical:
If Fister continues like this, keeps getting lucky with his starts and doesn’t regress too much, could he make the all-star team? It seems hard to argue with his numbers, but he doesn’t have any kind of positive track record.

So figgins was perfect through the first 6 batters, and the last 14, with 3 outs to go?
But somehow managed to squeeze 5 hits and 3 ER in the middle.
Fuck, Fister, not Figgins.

You know, as much of a jerk as Milton Bradley is supposed to be, I suspect I'd still rather have him as my teammate than Hanley Ramirez
From a personality standpoint, strictly speaking.
Embrace floorlessness.
See, this is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping to avoid by spelling it out in my post.
We get it: Hanley’s a better player. But from everything I have read (both about this current incident and before) he is a colossal douchebag of legendary proportions. Apparently his teammates pretty much hate his spoiled ass.
Embrace floorlessness.
But do baseball people really give a fuck about personality? When the player is good enough I think that just all PR.

Right, but a lot of people who cross US to Canada only went to those two countries and had no need for a passport

He got SO fucking excited
Try not to take me too seriously
Yeah
He sounded like he was going into his homerun call.

Yet I'm still going to go to games.
If any of you season ticket holders gave up, I’d love to take your tickets for free :)
Griffey was the fucking key to all of this.
He’s essentially a guaranteed out these days. Why the fuck are we wasting at bats?! UGHHHHHHHHHHH. WHY CAN’T I JUST NOT FUCKING CARE?
Anyone want to guess what our record was after 40 games in 2008?
No peeking on Baseball Reference!

Ding!
And 8.5 games out.
So much for “but it’s a weak division”.

Balls. I hate being right.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
You know what I hate?
a- this is so blatantly obviously a better team than 2008 it’s not even funny.
b- yet, somehow, the Mariners DESERVE to be sporting an awful record.

This is what pisses me off so much--our FO is smarter than they were 3 years ago.
At least in ‘08 we had the schadenfreude kick of seeing Bavasi’s arcane methods fail miserably. But now we have guys in charge who know what they’re doing, and they sit on their hands while the season crumbles. It’s so maddening.

So worth it.
Even if I had to watch the build team do another lame myth.
Why do the losses still physically hurt?
Seriously?
I'm getting a PBR right now
No reason to waste a good beer on this loss.

Surprise surprise, had a perfect chance to pinch-hit Saunders in that situtation and didn't do it.
It’s not like he would have done any worse.
I can't wait to see Phase 2 of Dave's fury unleashed soon.

@ LookoutLanding On a 2-0 count, with the game on the line, Mike Sweeney was looking dead-red and swung at a ball in the dirt
@ d_a_cameron Twice.
Indifference hasn't come yet
This still pains me…

Can't wait for the sanctions to come in next year

I hope Kentucky eliminates UW in the NCAA tournament.
Go Cougs :D
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
I hope the Cougs field at least a Pop Warner-level squad this fall.
But then again, I am an emotional masochist… as my membership to this site shows.
We were 11-11 with Cliff Lee coming back and starting a 9-game homestand.
>:(

By the way, I blame the organization more than Griffey
95% of professional athletes don’t know when to admit they suck and retire.
Post-game press conference
<Wak, in his low, monotone voice> “We really liked a couple of swings Sweeney put on the ball, especially that last one. In any other ball park that’s a home run. We’re gonna keep running Mike out there in the clean-up spot.”
Even if this season continues to suck in this manner, I'll be happy if:
1. Saunders pans out, and
2. Bradley finds some peace in that mind of his
Milton apparently just got back from a posh English boarding school for young girls.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Fuck this.
I’m just going to go pretend my fictional M’s franchise in The Show is the real M’s team.

Defeatist!
Let’s pull some Stalinist shit on this saboteur! Ice-pick, Trotsky style?
Just got to the end of this thread finally.
I’ll be watching tomorrow. I like afternoon games.
I had a dream last night that the Kid hit a home run...
