6/22: Open Game Thread
Chicago Cubs at Seattle Mariners, Jun 22, 2010 7:10 PM PDT
Remember Starlin Castro's six RBI debut? Since then, he has a .632 OPS. Surprise!
Chone Figgins was scratched for some reason. This is really important news.

Being a minor league owner seems like it'd be full of frustration,
unless you don’t care about the team, and just focus on promotions.
This is what he said:
“Sports is – outside of entertainment – my passion. … Clearly I’m not going to be playing for anybody in my lifetime, so to be involved on the ownership level is the next best thing.”

All my "sources" to catch tonight's game won't work.
So I’ve spent the last 20 minutes finding this gif for you guys as ammo in case my brethren come by here to troll. It’s of a play that was a bucketload of fail. Tie game, bottom of the 10th, runner on 1st, and nobody out. The Brewers sac bunted their runner to 2nd. Not satisfied with trading just an out for a base, the Cubs decided to not take the out and instead give them all 3 bases, the run, and the win.
That’s right…. a walk-off sac bunt with a runner on 1st.
Anyways, enjoy. I’m out.

Reminds me of the story about Soriano that showed up in SI when he was a Yankee.
It’s when I knew that he is retarded. He apparently ate a lot of ice creams out of the freezer every day. He’d be polishing off Choco Tacos and Creamsicles and all that shit, bowls of ice cream, etc. Stuffing his face. The attendant walks into the clubhouse and asks how many it was on the day and Soriano held up 8 fingers.
Creamsicles are fucking awesome.

As a player, that means something.

Absolutely. But look at Doc Rivers and Mike Brown.
Rivers was about to be fired for sucking cocks until they traded for Garnett and Allen. Suddenly he’s a genius. Mike Brown slams into the Out door at grocery stores and nearly has a ring.
I'd put basketball close to baseball in terms of how much it matters.
In football (both American and otherwise) I’d argue the coaching is fairly important. Hockey I don’t know as much about but it seems like it’s kind of somewhere between the two.

He doesn't have great range
But he doesn’t really have a protoypical CF body. The dude is built like a brick wall.

I guess he has reinforced my faith, but other than games against the NL, he’s not a world beater. He’s just solid.

What do you all think of Aardsma?
I’ve never trusted him in the closer’s role when I go to M’s games. But that may be my bias from when he was on the Cubs and not nearly as solid as he is now.

He's a known commoditiy, which isn't frightening.
I just assume any hit ball that doesn’t immediately touch dirt is a home run.

Throws high heat strikes out a lot of people but will scare you with the fly balls.

I like Aardsma.
He’s a pretty good reliever. Downside side is that he gives up deep flyballs and he doesn’t have much aside from his fastball but it gets the job done. Also, as we’re seeing right now, he sometimes has control issues.
Can people shut up about Silva already?
I swear, the comments online and on the radio about “if only” – implying we could still have them. NEWS FLASH: Silva would still be sucking if he were here. And we tried to get Branyan back but he and his agent were foolish about his contract.
I missed the whole Lincecum rage thing, but I’m getting a sense for what it must’ve been like…
My prediction that 8 total runs would be scored in this series is looking good so far
