Fuck off Lopez
It is time to go back to retard land and stop sucking it up from cleanup. No one (that matters) likes you. Go choke on a donkey’s dick.
Just getting it out there early.
I hear Celestino is his good friend.
Word has it that when Lopie realized that Yuni had no interest in baseball matters, he began hanging with Adrian and Felix instead.
As I said before...
Jose Lopez thinks Yuni is lazy. That’s damning.

Milton Bradley is my hero.
Blowers' Keys to the game.
RRS has to keep the ball down.
The team has to play good defense behind him.
They have to score some runs.
It all sounds too hard to me.
So to recap
The pitching has to do well.
The defense has to do well.
The offense has to do well.

Lopez still batting fourth, taking strike one from outside the batter's box.

Milton Bradley tried to steal and was thrown out, advanced to third on a weak groundball, and scored on a pitch that Cash whiffed on.
That was embarrassing even by Mariners standards.
Damn it hyphen, either Start pitching better or stop being so god damn likable
I can’t take this anymore.
Yep.
How embarassing that has to be for a pitcher. “Oh, I thought he popped that check swing up.”
Hey, Kevin Cash is batting .139
He sucks worse than Rob Johnson and catches about as well.
He is hitting .139 with 40 PAs in Boston and .200ish when he was with the Astros.
Also, I do not really care that you made an error because it doesn’t disprove your point, I am just bored and wanted to look it up.
...and now I'm here
It is kind of too bad that the Sox made that deal with the Astros.
We have a nice, shiny, Rob Johnson on the lot. Bad wheels, no breaks, but low mileage.
I have never once met a person that didn't already have a name.
And yet baseball has dozens of players to be named later every year. Unbelievable.

Langerhans had 2 hits yesterday.
But he’s not in the lineup today. I guess this was predictable. We need Kotchman’s defense so badly. Belief system.

Somebody had to get benched for all the baserunning crap.
So yeah, fuck you guy who’s always on the bench anyways.
You may be on to something.
Maybe every time a Mariner fucks up Langerhans doesn’t get to play. It would explain his lack of playing time.
I realized today that Kotchman is still on the team and it surprised me.

This is actually his fourth start in a row.
I think the M’s are intentionally putting out a less-than-optimal lineup every night in order to drop a few extra games.
The troubling part about this comment....
is that they are probably putting out their optimal lineup.
He has posted a season of over 1 WAR twice, while posting 3 seasons where he was worse then replacement over a 9 year career.
He’s only been worth .5 WAR this year.
33!
So we get a player to be named later or we get Kevin Cash.
I will take the unnamed player.

So now that guy has started streaming the games with an intentional lag so that people will pay for the clean stream.

Someone should get a copy of it.
Then when we suck again in like 4 years we can pull it out again in game threads.
It's like double-play in our favor.

RRS is really getting a lot of groundballs
just like he planned.

And all the fly balls are hanging out in the in field

Bradley walked

Hawkins is correct, but for fun baseball technicality stuff it's not actually a no-hitter.
Because he only pitched 8 innings on account of losing on the road. A no-hitter has to be 9 innings, so thus Ken Johnson of the Astros is the only person to actually lose an official no-hitter.
by drblacknwhite on Jul 22, 2010 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes.
He walked 13% of the time in Texas. Something has changed.

by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 22, 2010 8:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Despite his frustrating performance as a mariner
I still think he has more potential to walk 80 time in a season than anyone else in the organization.
Compared to everyone from the bullpen that has been demoted or released...
6 guys so far this season? Kanekoa, Colome, Cordero, a couple Sean/shawn guys, Snell… He’s not good, but by comparison, he’s not the bottom of our Barrel
And he did pretty well for us at one point in time, so Wak is hopding out against hope

And RRS is not the #2 or #3 in the rotation....
Those 80’s teams had some real crap on the mound from top to bottom (excepting a couple guys). I remember seeing Beattie pitch a no-no through about 6, get in trouble, turn the game over to Ed Vandenberg just in time to face Reggie Jackson, who promptly deposited a second deck grand slam into the right field stands. Ed just had to establish the fastball….
RRS the person is awesome.

It seems they are pimping the merits of “the nation” as much as possible — during the beer walk around Safeco, the cute girls in the upper deck, random fans all over the place — is this making M’s fans want to come to the ballpark the next couple days?
No, not really
I have no desire to compete with red sox fans, and I know that I can sell my season tickets for the Red sox to some fan for full price. It’s tough to give away tickets to games I can’t go to otherwise… so I’ll take it, They can have their overcrowded games, I’ll go watch the Aquasox when the Red Sox are in Town

The hook is sort of intimidating sounding, I suppose.

No it's catchy and thats it.
Not imaginative or anything. The distortion makes it sound heavy but it’s really basic. Maybe that’s why it caught on so big.
And, it sounds lame when it's just piped in by the PA

Money at some point isn't enough to field a useless player.
That money is already spent, may as well put the best team on the field.

Yup, I officially don't care about the ending of this game now. Just end.

Imagine if this game mattered!?!? I can't get too worked up. It's kind of funny really.

I'm about as excited for this as i am for the Aquasox game that's in the 13th inning.

That's a great way of putting it. And a loss probably makes me happier in the long-run. DRAFT PICK!

Exactly. It doesn't matter. It was a no no until Bard got a hit in the 7th.
Somehow we tied it in the 9th. We could beat the Red Sux, or not. It’s kind of fun.

Young player development just ain't his thing.
The 2001 team was like his best case scenario, steely vets and all that.
Griffey!
Lou Pinella wanted to draft a reliever over Alex Rodriguez.
With the number one pick in the draft.
33!
It was thought that A-Rod might not sign
by lemonverbena on Jul 22, 2010 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions
As I recall he had hinted that he would have preferred to be drafted by the Dodgers.
And might not sign with the M’s if they picked him before the Dodgers at #2.
by drblacknwhite on Jul 22, 2010 11:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Which would be why he had to try to scare the M's into passing on him.
Seems like a silly bluff, but A-Rod.
by drblacknwhite on Jul 22, 2010 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions
He wanted to use him as a reliever
"I remember Lou Piniella saying, ‘Now let me get this straight. Darren Dreifort is close to pitching in the big leagues right now, and we need bullpen help, right?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ And Lou said, ‘Then why are we even talking about that guy in Florida?’ I said, ‘Because he’s special.’"
33!
UGH

It’s almost 2 AM out here in NYC and I’m still tuned into this game. Although I may drink myself to sleep after that last inning.

Of course I have no reason to get up in the morning.

It just seemed like that was more of a Lopez being Lopez thing.
Lopez (home-grown talent) and Bradley (emblem of all the mistakes the Mariners org has made in recent years) couldn’t cash in one of the easiest situations. What’s worse, they didn’t even really come close, with back-to-back pop-ups.
But yeah, yesterday was bad. Go Rendan’s surgeon!

Bradley is an emblem of all the Mariners' mistakes?
He is Carlos Silva’s replacement. He can pretty much do no wrong. He is an emblem of things heading in the right direction.
It’s Rendon, by the way.

Wakamatsu bunting Figgins on a 2-0 count when Lopez and Bradley would be up if Guti was IBB was a pretty big load of stupid.

Though I suppose Jose Lopez works too.

Despite the draft picks,
I still hate losing to the Red Sox and hearing all their fake fans cheering
Dear Lord Baby Jesus,
I want to thank you for this wonderful meal, my two beautiful son’s, Walker and Texas Ranger, and my Red-Hot Smokin’ Wife, Carley, and thank you for making this game end.
We should have signed Will Ferrell and had him pitch in that last inning.
At least he would have been entertaining.

THE HELL
I turned the game on in the top of the 9th and they were down 6-1. Now I find out it went 13 and ended 8-6???? What the shit!
Look at the bright side.
At least Jack Hannahan didn’t beat us in the late innings.
