This makes it seem like we still had it locked down in the 9th
I was scared we were gonna blow it.

Yeah, this is definitely one of those times where the chart does not accurately reflect the general feeling of dread.
You're dead to me.
Although what the hell were the Rangers doing letting Murphy and Treanor hit?
by Jeff Sullivan on Jun 7, 2010 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions
Well obviously the two homers Treanor had the other night made him a good hitter?
Right?

They forgot to inflect.
This sounds way more like sarcasm. Inflection is so interesting

HAHAHA! There has never been a better chart.
Not even close. Merry Cliffmas.
Holy shit.
Did you just coin a new term for Cliff Days? Merry Cliffmas? That’s genius.

I feel like this happens all too frequently.
Missed sarcasm, that is. Or am I the one missing the intentionally missed sarcasm? Mind=blown.
Me too. At work. And then I had to look around uncomfortably
Jeff gets me at least twice a week.
Because I couldn't tell what it was
I thought Lee broke his leg, or something.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh
That isn't leg humping but I was afraid it would be confused for leg humping

Stalactites make me concerned, too.

This is a game we needed badly.
Although, to be fair we need victories in the next three games too. Go M’s.
Even with wins in the next 3...
ah fuck it, Go M’s!
FUCK THE MARINERS!

I was actively hoping the Ms would go down in order faster so that we could get back to Cliff Lee dominating.
It was both sad, and relieving to not care weather they won or lost.
My 2010 Mariners team depression is transitioning into "Cliff Lee isn't coming back" depression.
I think I’m more upset about that then the team as a whole now.
This is really hard for me as well. CLIFF FUCKING LEE is such a good pitcher.
For all our futility, we deserve him. How can we let him go? What can we do to make him stay? I wish there was a plan.

Our owners have plenty of money, just add more payroll!
Matthew, Jeff, you guys are magical, make it happen.

If being unhappy causes him to go 3-4 and play spectacular defense
we need to get Josh Wilson and Rob Johnson to give him a good nut-tapping before every game.
Figgins is a pro. He's not going to let this interfere with his game, but you have to question
whether moves like this are worth it. I imagine he wasn’t pleased moving to 2B full-time, however, that move actually made sense.
This lineup juggling is just a desperate and pointless attempt to jumpstart a below average team/offense.
And while Figgins shouldn’t be so caught up in where he hits in the lineup, we all know that professional players are sensitive about things like where they hit, and this surely is a slap in the face to Figgins.
I actually feel bad for Figgins, and I don't think that he "deserved" to be dropped in the lineup
But at the same time, I don’t blame Wak for trying something, ANYTHING to try to find an offensive combination that works.
I’ve not heard anything one way or another, but I wonder how secure Wak’s job is.
He's secure. I just don't buy into moving guys around in the order.
The offense is what it is. It’s not going to become a good offense suddenly because Bradley is batting second and Figgins ninth.
It just doesn’t make sense to me. Why exactly is Bradley going to catch fire because he’s hitting second? What’s the rationale there?
Will likely see more fastballs with Ichiro on base

He'll see more fastballs, but if he's not going to catch fire until he quits pressing.
He’s swinging at those stupid low, inside balls that can only break his bat. That’s all he’s going to see until he stops swinging at them, no matter where he bats in the order.

I'm curious what it would actually take to keep Cliff.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a team would give him a 5 year deal. I wonder how important it is to him to play for a contender?
5/100? More? Less?
Loved the Cliff Lee postgame comments to Brad Adam's stupid question, "Do you see yourself as a stopper?"
To paraphrase, “I expect to win every game I start whether we’ve won or lost the game before.”
I love Cliff Lee knowing full well he's going to break my heart.

Summer romances are bittersweet.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
See, some people would chalk that up as him not being a team player.
In my book though, it just makes him that much more awesome.
I think I’m going to continue to be a Cliff Lee fan wherever he ends up going, now.
It was a stupid question and Lee appropriately gave the right answer.
We have CLIFF FUCKING LEE pitching for us. That is so awesome. I’m going to miss him.

Best chart ever.
I know you’re leaving Cliff but um, PLEASE STAY. :’(
It won't be voluntary.
That would imply the first choice wouldn’t be to just bring him back. I believe that’s the hope of the front office, but it’s probably not a realistic one.
We need to find a way to keep him. I'm feeling so desperate, I'll stop now.
It would just be so incredible to keep him. What a pitcher that man is. I don’t want to see him in a Yankees jersey ever. Ok, now I’ll stop.

We'll get better, Cliff! Honest! Really!
And how much money do you need to live like a medieval prince in Arkansas?
Oh. That much. Huh.
ignacio
Yeah...thats...wow that is a shit load of money.

Oh Criff.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
I just realized that today isn't the first day of the Brumley/Tinsley experiment.
Tinsley was over at third base yesterday too. I’m just now watching yesterday’s game.
He was there yesterday because Brumley was attending a graduation or something
Some Rainiers coach coached first. Then they made an official switcheroo today.

Instead of dwelling on the inevitable, I'm going to savor each of his outings.
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to keep rooting for him, regardless of what uniform he’s in.
Amen.
Each one of his starts have been a masterpiece. Utter domination. I’m gonna HATE to see him leave, but no matter where he ends up, I’ll still be rooting for him.
Karma police, arrest this man.

Agreed.
And if there’s one reason to still make it up to Seattle for a game this summer, its to try to see him pitch before he is gone.
"Ahhhh.. that's a BINGO!"
