I would kind of like it if they scored so we could walkoff versus Fuentes.

Then again, that would make me very nervous, so just score some damn runs Mariners.

Their midfield passing is absolutely terrible.

Once they get scored on, they seem to completely lose all cohesion and go for the punt-and-pray approach, which is what frustrates the hell out of me. AND Fucito got put on IR (or whatever it’s called). GOD! FUCK! SHIT!

Don't worry guys! I am sure that Mike Sweeney will save the day

If Mike Sweeney is on this roster tomorrow....

…just close the book on the season. And don’t open it again. Sell your tickets, get a refund on your MLB.TV subscription even though that’s totally not possible, and then contemplate suicide. A team that bats Mike Sweeney in high leverage situations just doesn’t want to win enough.

Right now I'm dreaming of Carl Crawford. Maybe next year...(or this year at the trade deadline)...

This is worse than an abortion.

After an abortion, you’re no longer pregnant. After this, we still suck.

FUCK THE MARINERS!

Oh good, it's up to Rob Johnson.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?

Rob Johnson is a rare talent.

I am in awe of his pure physical abilities every time I witness his Greatness.

Who would we pinch hit with?

I'm trying to be really, really angry right now.

I’m mostly just apathetic, though. We need to win, so I can get angry when we lose the next eight in a row.

Post game interview with Wak...

I was pleased with the effort the guys gave- they never stopped fighting. Sweeney had a nice long at bat, and hit the ball hard, so we’re moving him up to the clean-up spot tomorrow. Rob Johnson was just great, he really showed what an athlete he was getting that pop-up, so we’ll start him tomorrow too- hitting third. I’m not worried, we have a belief system.

The time has come to give Barry Bonds a telephone call.

The fucking umpires are already trying to shit us up as much as they can because of Bradley or because the M’s were preseason favorites and the powers that be dont want that.

Adding the hated BB would make no more trouble for us and at least Barry, even a Barry who hasn’t seen active play in 3 or 4 years and is probably close to 50 or something, could probably hit better than any Mariner now not named Ichiro or Gutierrez.

Boo...

Don’t you have a ground ball to not field that an average third basemen scoops up while you flail away as Elvis Andrus saves your ass by making a play that would make God himself fist pump?

It's an internet meme.

Started on 4Chat, as usual. The idea is that someone with an abnormally small penis and adequacy issues comes to a blog, website or forum and types in #6org. Kind of like “Hai” for “Hi,” the number 6 is short for “Sex.” The “ORG” is:

Orgasms
Really
Gayly.

The # symbol is because of Twitter. Like: #Sex, and then “O-R-G.” So basically, the meme is that the user with the small penis advertises that he has really gay orgasms. I know it’s pretty stupid, but it’s kind of like those flashers that run into alleys and then open their trench coat to reveal their swollen member and then runs away. Just ignore it.

...and now I'm here

I'm just going to assume you're right.

knowyourmeme has failed me in this instance.

I take some responsibility for this.

I wondered aloud (in type) what the reaction would be if someone just came over and posted this here.

I didn’t expect anyone to actually do so. Sorry.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

I was watching at work and I said all Mike Sweeney needs to do is not swing and we’ll win. Once LA scored that run, I just sat there watching, knowing we weren’t going to win. I really do want to cry at this point.

Thanks...

At first I was thinking it was bizarre that the entire crowd had gotten in on it. It was terrifying. Then I heard the song playing at the same time and I was less unnerved.

It still ultimately sounded like the crowd was trying to summon something from beyond.

I'm so glad I become a season ticket holder this year!

I’ve never been happier for the team to leave town. This has been extremely painful.

So after tonight.

Anybody for putting Saunders in left and just DHing Langerhans? At least he can take a pitch. (I’m only half serious.)

So I fell asleep in the 8th inning. What happened?

Hey wow I just woke up after shutting off the game in the 4th inning. We had a lead and blew it, losing in extras? AWESOME

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

FLOORLESS.

Today's lineup features Saunders in left and Langerhans at first.

So that’s something.

Griffey DH?

He always plays on Mothers Day, pink bats and all that.

Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.
