Thank you, Justin Smoak, for being exciting enough to make me watch this awesome game.
Even though you sucked.
Smoak looked horrrrrrrrrrible.
But he’ll be fine. I imagine he was pretty nervous.
Yeah he had the change going all night and he had a great game plan for Smoak.
I just kind of expect young guys to completely whiff at the off speed stuff and I expect to see a lot of it in the future. Smoak did look really clueless tonight.
I was at the game on 1st base line.
When he first came on the field someone yelled at him and he literally blushed and then avoided looking at the crowd during his workout. He was nervous and I’m sure it affected his concentration.

I've always mentally translated <3 as
“teabag.” I mean — it really looks nothing like a heart, which looks more like &.
Theirs are always upright
the sideways one is so…equivocal.
Doesn't something like <=3 make more sense

The fact that Jose Lopez always looks so nervous and lost made his cockiness all the more enjoyable.

It barely cleared the fence.
And he acted like he’s Mark fucking Mcgwire. Dude can’t even hit a grand slam correctly.
...and now I'm here
What a fuck-up.
Even when he does something right, he does it wrong.

He looked like Milton Bradley on that swing.
Swing as hard as you can, slam the bat to the ground while doing your best statue pose, and then walk a few steps with some swag.
I actually enjoyed his cockiness

Well, me too
But sometimes stupid things are enjoyable.
...and now I'm here
I beg to differ
A GS is the same anywhere – give him credit for getting a win out of the lame offense we have. Safeco is a pitcher’s field.
Smoak was as bad
as Lee. I think we chalk up both thier performances to the sheer madness that must have been the last two days for each of them.
I just hope Cliff Lee is not hurt too badly by the park in Arlington. It would suck if he was the big loser of the whole trade.
Maybe he will pitch terribly and his price will come down to the point we can re-sign him.
I wouldn’t mind if it went down like this.

Cliff Lee will be fine.
Meanwhile, I’m glad that Justin Smoak got to be part of our team on an exciting Saturday night game with Felix pitching.

I hope Lee is hurt badly by the park in Arlington
And I realize I don’t know shit about baseball compared to most others here, but the commenter here http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-mariners-smoak made even me shake my head in disgust
Love Jobaville getting bombed!
The fact that every Yankee cocksucker thought that guy was Clemens incarnate and now his big fat drunk ass sucks elephant dicks makes it even more delightful.

Wow.
Not that I don’t agree with the general sentiment, but…wow.

I grew up in NY- my dad was a cop at the four-four precinct and we used to get in to all the games for free...
this was in the late 70s and early 80s. The past couple of years, though, I’ve come to absolutely despise my former hometown team. I don’t know if it is because the tore down the real stadium, the fact that there are only a couple of players left over from the 90s championship years, or because I’m so far removed from NY now I see how gross and disgusting Yankee fans are, but I loathe the Yankees.
I still hate the Red Sox, and their fans, more though.

I did, however, enjoy the salty tears of all the Yankees fans.
There was one group of them that was shouting at people to sit down after Lopez homered, heh.
I was sitting infront of a pair of Yankee fans that were on my case the entire game.
I didn’t say anything to them, just took it. When Lopez hit the slam I simply turned around, smiled, and watched them flip me off.

I was surrounded by scouts.
Seven of them that I could identify!
Who were they scouting?
According to my calculations, your problem doesn't exist.

I couldn't tell for sure, they were a bit too far away for me to really hear what they were saying.
I have some suspicions, but that’s all they are.

Moira (aka Mariners Housewife) had to explain to the “Yankee Fans” sitting near her who Swisher is.
In the last game of the WS last year, I had to explain to a "Yankees Fan"...

Here's the Lopez slam in 420fps high-speed.

I might try Diamond Club seats later this year.
Never gotten them before and they should be relatively cheap this season!
Oh, they're absolutely fantastic.
I was with my mom, dad, and my friend. Amazing seats and experience.

Joba, you couldn't have served up a grand slam to a more miserable hitter.
Here’s to more similarly embarrasing failures in the near and distant future.

If there were scouts in attendance (as said)
then that grand slam by Lopez might have been very timely.
ignacio
I imagine there are scouts at almost every MLB game right now
I wouldn’t read too much into it, it was just sortof neat to see.
Wasn't the grand slam just the epitome of Jose Lopez though?
God awful patients (two pitches seen) terrible sense of the strike zone (the ball was at damn near his nipples), yet the crazy strong/fast hands to turn it barely over the left field wall. Where the ball traveled the classic Wall + 2 feet distance?

I was at the movies. Looks like I missed something mildly interesting.
Predator was totally worth it though

Joba is clearly an idiot.
Throw three sliders low in the zone and Loafie is out. Throw a high fastball in his wheelhouse? Whoops.
I was just looking at the numbers
Lopez has a contact rate on pitches out of the zone as Ichiro. That surprised me. It would be interesting to see what his numbers were on pitches out of the zone compared to Ichiro though.

I'm not quite following you

I bet my ladyfriend $1 that Lopez would hit into a double play.
Fuck you Lopez you owe me a dollar
