Nope, that'll do it. Goodnight, Don Wakamatsu.
I hope you awake to find shattered pieces of Griffey’s bat in your bed.
What a terrible night to have a curse.

I don't like that 'psych' is spelled that way
‘sike’ looks so much better to the eye
by Jeff Sullivan on May 7, 2010 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions
and I disagree
I think psych looks smoother than sike because I don’t like the letter k
"sic" bothers me more
It always looks like a word that wasn’t finished being spelled.

Seriously, is this team ever going to win again?
I’m approaching seriously wondering this. I’ve got tickets to Saturday and Sunday’s games (have had them for months) and am actively dreading going.
I actually hope not
If we’re not going to the playoffs I’d rather see us lose really, really bad. Root for reverse-baseball
Determined, Jonesing Commentor
OH MY GOD
I just read a memo that states that the Mariners are deliberately losing.
It says that they “must bust” during the first half of the month of May.
And it was apparently penned by none other than David Aardsma!
I hope my roommate is drinking tonight.

I fucking hate you Mariners
If Jered Weaver completes his no-hitter, it will symbolically be on the at-bat that lowers Chone Figgins' average below the Mendoza line
I LOVE IT.
Jigsaw falling into place
That would be delightful.

FSN should interview that "bad dancer" guy
That’d be more interesting than watching this game and it would probably still suck.
Were they showing him?

Remember when we had bases loaded in the night against Texas last Friday..
We were a medium fly ball away from first place.. Since then, this has been most rotten stretch of games I’ve ever witnessed
I made an absolutely splendid venison pot roast for dinner.
I turned off the television just now, sorry Mariners,
you may not ruin my Friday night venison pot roast.
I think that we are numb.

So what you're saying is Matthew can fly an Apache and strafe the Mariners dugout?

You know how Junior always does something on his special days
That’s as close as he can come to a home run these days.
Lopez is clearly still playing like the game is close
He tried to hit into a double play
HOW IS THAT A COMPLAINT

That actually pisses me off a ltitle. It was the only reason I had to keep watching this game.
You're dead to me.
And Griffey's avg needs to be below Mendoza to reflect how awful he's really been
so the dumbshit fan can understand
ignacio
Completely agree. I just turned it off.
But Blowers cautions us that “even in the blowouts the at-bats are just as important; Guys are trying to hit their way out of slumps, get back from injuries, all sorts of things. Just because the team is down by 9 runs doesn’t mean there isn’t meaningful baseball going on out there.”
Vomit.
Alright, fuck it.
With the no-no gone, I have nothing to watch for.
Goodnight, everybody!

That just means we'll have to endure countless cries of:
“But the takeaway is that the bullpen threw a no-hitter! Just think of the potential if we ever gave them a lead!”
Yea, we tried that. It didn’t go too well.
When the game is like this the mop-up guy has it easy
The Angels just want the game to end, get to the hotel, something to eat and drink and call outcall escorts
ignacio
Right, I'm out. Iron Man awaits.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Yeah i'm really glad we used out second best reliever while we were down by 8
I’m going to be so mad tomorrow when the game is tied and the angels have the bases loaded in the seventh and League is unavailable.
I wouldn't be so annoyed if they looked like they were trying to fight back.
But they way we seem to just roll over as soon as the other team scores a run is absolutely pitiful.
You guys want to start talking about something cool like volcanos or something?
Anybody hear anything recently whether they are actually gonna clone woolly mammoths?
I want fucking Michael Saunders to hit a HR.
Just to prove that he can.
ignacio
To a point
There is optimistic and then there is delusional. Sometimes i think it would be nice to hear a broadcaster say something like “you know Rob Johnson just isn’t a major league catcher” just so i know its really true and I’m not just going crazy.
In that case
I especially enjoyed Dave Sims in like the second inning saying the Rob Johnson has been doing great for the Mariners behind the plate this year.
Hannhan's played second two days in a row now.
Progress?

He’ll also be black.

We're going to win since the recap post is already up on USSM
it will be a Dewey beats Truman situation.
Did a player produced by the Mariners farm system just get an extra base hit?
What the hell just happened.
It would be a good time for Michael Saunders to all of a sudden be awesome.
Stating the obvious but still any help we can get…
Figgins should drive in this run.

I feel like punching a hole in a wall.
Why the fuck can’t we score just one fucking run.
This is the final stage before reaching freedom!
Freedom from Hope. Freedom from Pride. Freedom from Joy!
You’re almost there my friend!
I seriously have to ask in this state of mind ...
Is this team fucking serious?
That last pop up by Figgins had me literally shaking with rage
I am so fed up with this.
Trade Lee for whoever you fucking can at this point.
Fuck these guys. They don’t deserve fans.
Thats a good sign.
You’ve moved into the next stage of grief you are well on your way to acceptance of how awful this team is playing.
I was farther along yesterday!
I was generally accepting it. Now I’m just back to being pissed.
I can handle not winning
But come on. Take some pitches, foul a couple off, try to get on base, for the love of god do something besides flail and pop out softly.
So, would the performance of our bullpen tonight encourage Wak to use someone other than Sean White?
I say no, because hope is fucking stupid.

Nice.
Another 14 hour work day followed by a mariners loss. Life is so wonderfull. Well..time for bed.
I bought into it
Saying goodbye. Going away.
Seems like goodbye’s such a hard thing to say. Touching a hand. Wondering why. It’s time for saying goodbye. Somehow I know… we’ll meet again. Not sure quite where, and I don’t know quite when. You’re in my heart, so until then. It’s time for saying goodbye.
…
Want to smile. Want to cry. Saying goodbye…
...and now I'm here
Tomorrow is the day we turn it around
At least that’s what I’m going to tell myself for the next 21 hours.
