So much for going to work on time.
I'd sleep at the Internet, but I've found servers don't make for good pillows.
Why do they always say "sit around wait for three run homers"
I’d rather sit around and wait for grand slams, myself

I suggest meditation.
Calms the mind

Never mind
I can’t listen and type at the same time apparently
Looks like we need another Rob Johnson.
I would like to thank the wolves that raised Eric Brynes ...
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A WILD PITCH? IT BOUNCED RIGHT OFF HIS FUCKING GLOVE
THIS IS THE WORST SPORT

Does anyone else think that this feels cliche?
I mean, we’re about to lose on about ten weak balls in play and a crucial defensive play by a guy we cut for not playing good enough defense. Seems like it’s been done.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

You do realize that we won a game in KC on a Jose Lopez infield double, right?
We get breaks, just not this series yet.
by drblacknwhite on May 2, 2010 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Good point.
We barely beat KC, after all! All things are equal!
The Ichiro catch was our break for the day, I think.

Maybe, but a strong gust of wind from the baseball gods and that's a home run.
So I’d say there is a touch of luck involved with that. Not to take away from Ichiro because it definitely was brilliant.

Jeff should be tracking our negative doilies.
Annoying runs scored against us, or runs we really ought to have produced, but didn’t.
.
Do a period or something like this.

The best part is that after the Rangers get two runs here
We get to watch the Mariners flail at the ball for three outs.

Depends on how many assloads.
FUCK THE ANGELS!

63 Griffey assloads?
Hell yes.
FUCK THE ANGELS!

No.
This would be an awful trade.

Griffey and Sweeney for some BBQ?

Not quite
We get another chance to show off our terrible offense
Yes let's trade Cliff Lee

You don't fucking trade your best player if you want to get better
by Graham MacAree on May 2, 2010 4:17 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
Hey, its just a hypothetical proposition. I'm not saying we should do it.
Do you think trading Cliff Lee would hurt us worse than not getting someone who can actually drive runners in?
2-1
The score. That’s the only thing that tipped me off to the fact that I wasn’t watching a replay of Friday’s game.
I don't blame them for anything, besides being awesome.
Just doing some un-PC venting.

Can we pair the 97 Mariners offense with this pitching please?
Get Doc Brown on the phone.
Carlos Silvelite
So I searched for the dog saving the power plant .gif and didn't find it
But I found something I’d like to drink

BAHAHA, Rob is the best
I fucking hate you Mariners
This team is fucking awful.
Rob Johnson needs to fucking go. We need a real catcher and quick. I cannot explain how much I fucking hate Rob Johsnon.
I just said that we should trade Johnson for a Dicks burger
And my grandpa said ‘might not be worth one with cheese’
Soo why are we still here you guys?

To plan our revenge on Rob Johnson.

Every Griffer groundball to second.
Every Rob Johnson passed ball.
They at least get a chuckle.

Maybe if the entire Mariner's fanbase consistently sends mail to the Mariners front office
we can get them to dump Sweeney, Johnson, DL Griffey, etc.
Perhaps by a child in goodwill?
They can’t refuse those!

You can't coach heart.
You can’t coach really shitty players, either.
Captain Planet coached Heart... We just aren't trying enough.
Plus games are won by runs, not team love.
Equations can't however.

We are definitely going to lose.
Unless we don’t.

Here's my best attempt at optimism:
Z is generally a very smart GM.
Z is watching the same thing we are.
The division is still very winnable.
Changes must be coming soon.
Right? Right?
Griffey and Swenney both blow out a knee and is on IR?

What a pussy
Felix had a bad back and still pitched.
I mean really, even in top condition, Sweeney would get out anyway, right?
I’m sure he could manage that with a sore back
Nope
The suck we know is the same as the suck we don’t quite know as well.
Either way, we suck on offense
Sweeney in the dugout with a helmet and a bat
Sounds about right
I hate how the Rangers as a whole didn't play all that much better than us
And they’re leaving with a sweep.
Thank god no more rangers for a while
I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul - Invictus
We'll just suck against other teams.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Sooner or later a rangers pitcher is going to blow out a arm

OH GOD HE WAS LOOSENING UP IN THE CAGE BECAUSE THEY WANTED HIM TO PH FOR JACK WILSON

Fuck you for catching that home run Ichiro.
That cost me an extra 30 minutes of my life.
Was Robert the one who got Lopez that grand slam?

I don't want any moves to occur..I want to see the gloves come off!

Isn't Jason Bay sucking anyway.
Results based analyses sucks, but still.

On the bright side we are like 1 game out, with the best team in baseball coming to town.

Byrnes isn't the problem.... Not the enitrety. We have a Special Olympics catcher and two AARP DHs...
Byrnes is nothing. I could bat .094.
That isn’t a joke.
Perhaps you don't understand how hard it is to hit balls the size of your fist going 90 MPH from 60 feet away
I played baseball in college.
I’ve seen plenty of 90 mph fastballs?
Not gonna win this one, might as well stop.

Or New York. Try again.
Also Division 1. What’d you play?
Don't get defensive this series sucked, noones happy.

Just kidding anyway..
I’ve heard of it. Pretty cool you played there.
This argument makes no sense.
You don’t use wooden bats in college. The competition is much worse. You aren’t still playing, et cetera
I'm glad the Mariners have good clubhouse chemistry because most teams would feel bad about getting swept by a division rival in a series where they scored 4 runs total.

Whatever. I'm too mad to care at the moment.
I’m out of here.

Well......Doug Fister!
If we had managed to score 2 runs today we would have won. 2 runs. Two. We don’t ask for much
Peace, Love and West Coast Hip Hop, Go Mariners!

I know this is a background issue compared to some of the more glaring ones, but is it time to relieve the DA of the closing duties?

After 2 blown saves on the season? Come on, dude. They've got bigger problems than the Aardvark blowing 2 saves.

This Mets Phillies game is ridiculous, three HR's in the first inning.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to have offense
