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.

No it isn't

You’re just using it badly

Okay, cool.

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

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

No

The Cuddyer home run was.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 2, 2010 10:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ah yes, of course.

I’m blaming that on Rob’s pitch selection. Fuck you Rob.

So is Scruffy saved or forever doomed.

He’s the last one doing the challenge right?

It is voided.

We made sure of that loophole when we made the challenge.

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.

Z on the post game!

I didn't watch the ending,

but my friend texted me and informed me that we were the beneficiaries of an anti-Jim Joyce call.

"Mayhap a hidden door lurks nigh. Let us search the environs."

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.

by harkening on Jun 2, 2010 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by E-Lizz on Jun 2, 2010 10:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by harkening on Jun 2, 2010 10:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by E-Lizz on Jun 2, 2010 10:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

Perfect day

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

by OlSalty on Jun 2, 2010 10:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Rays, wasn't it?

The Rays aren’t really a bandwagon anymore though.

Holy cow

Is that Beltre in a mariner uniform on tv?

by LeftArrow2 on Jun 2, 2010 10:48 PM PDT reply actions  

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.

by harkening on Jun 2, 2010 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by The Typical Idiot Fan on Jun 2, 2010 10:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

Bad call

But a tough call from that angle. Joyce’s was blatant.

by E-Lizz on Jun 2, 2010 10:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

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..

Cause I will buy the fucking tractor, whatever you want.

Yup.

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."
