Win vulture means he came in and allowed the game to be tied but then the offense still manage to bail him out.
You got slurved!
My bad
Still it’s funny that he has 10 decisions already.

WPA is kind of broken if Ichiro can strike out three times and still end up leading the team by a fair margin.
But… WOO!
I can't resist clicking "Rec" when I see a post with four [of them] already.

Okay, cool.
It makes sense. It just seems weird to me, I guess. It’s counterintuitive to my regular baseball logic.

He got a run at a time when it was most important that we have runs
If that makes any sense.

So was the RJ PB the most damaging play of the game?

Ah yes, of course.
I’m blaming that on Rob’s pitch selection. Fuck you Rob.

Jeff would have to build WPA database out of play-by-play logs for the last 33 years...
Rob Johnson may not have most suckfests, but I don’t care. I want to burn him.
So is Scruffy saved or forever doomed.
He’s the last one doing the challenge right?

It would be longer than extended edition of Lord of the Rings.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Except one is enjoyable to watch.
That had to be Peter Jackson’s wet dream, then he found out they would let him do it.

This was straight a Milton Bradley victory tonight.
Guy willed the first run. Lee was dominate of course, but Milton was just incredible to watch this evening.

I didn't watch the ending,

They can still tie.

Some Haitian needs to put a voodoo hex on Rob Johnson that makes him pass one kidney stone for every passed ball.
He'd be out for a couple seasons.
Ah…I now see the genius of your plan.

That's incredible. The pain both of them went through, during the game, is incredible.
Incredible is the wrong word, but I don’t quite know what to say.

Early in the game, after Milton's single through the right side...
they had a brief shot of Ichiro in the dugout. He’s usually so chill, passive. But I swear the expression on his face was like a lost child. He was sitting alone again—not with other players, like he did with Junior—and he just sort of glanced around. It was really sad to see.
Small sample size? One shot of him in the dugout? Yes. But still.
Can't forget the three K's
Ichiro is taking this hard, even though he won’t outwardly express it like Milton did. I think Junior in the end will be Ichi’s most closest friend in baseball. I hope they remain friends even while Griffey is retired and back in Florida.
I hope they have a reunion like Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins had at the end of Shawshank Redemption.
Have you seen the YouTube clip of them meeting for the first time, when Ichiro was a rookie in Japan and Griffey was still God?
Also, when Junior was here as a Red in 2008…Ichiro’s always idolized Griffey. He was legitimately in awe of being around him. It was a lot of fun to watch. I don’t think that relationship is going away.
Yeah I did see that video
Its crazy to think Ichiro had no idea he’d one day be a teammate of Griffey’s. I’m glad baseball brought Griffey back to Seattle not just because he’s a franchise icon, but because of what he did for Ichi.
Bahahahaha yes.
Griffey gives him a game-used jersey and he sniffs it. Classic.

I couldn't watch the whole game, and I'm fucking exhausted right now.
But I have it recorded. I’ll probably go back and watch it. I heard Blowers and Sims talking about Milton crying in the 2nd. I know it has to be an emotional night. That plus the victory…it seems a game worth watching.
Yea, it's a dull day for baseball.

By the way, are they shooting for a 35 man roster or something- they still have two spots on the 40 open when they dfa'd Colome and Tex, now Griffey.
I'm holding my breath for some Z magic.

Two major ump fuckups, Griffeys fat ass retires, and the M’s win.

Last nine starts, in innings:
7.0, 7.0, 5.0, 8.0, 8.0, 4.0, 7.2, 7.0, 8.0
We could go with a five man pen
To be fair, that glove is obviously still open.
And shielded like that, the ball could very well be hitting the ground. Not nearly as bad as the Joyce call.
Not at all. I'm just happy it led to this ammusing body shake:

Yeah, look at it from the other angle.
The ball is hitting the ground before going into Hardy’s mitt, that gives another half a second for Wilson’s hand to make it. It is a lot closer than we think.
Fans are typically idiots.

Bad call
But a tough call from that angle. Joyce’s was blatant.
And he knows it. =/
The audio clip is kind of awkward.
Thank you, Mr. Griffey. You saved baseball in Seattle.
I personally lived for your call-up as the M’s were hopeless until you got here. I remember listening to your first game as a Mariner. I was soaking my feet in a child’s wading pool in my driveway. You were the best thing since sliced bread. My thank you today is for your retirement. You’ve done your part and it was time to leave. I love you # 24. I wish you the best in your retirement and I’ll be present for your HOF entry. Thank you for saving baseball in the pacific northwest and giving us a place to watch it..

Cliff Lee said, "I am really impressed with just how nice the Montana Tractor is and I still can’t believe I own such great pieces of farm equipment; it’s like Christmas for me today. I’m really looking forward to working with both the new tractor and the UTV." Lee continued, "The folks at Montana have been great to get to know and to work with. I’m excited about the opportunity to build a relationship with Montana and I’m looking forward to being a part of their aggressive growth."
