That picture is 100% appropriate.

I feel so bad that Felix has to put up with this crap.

I don't even want to think about what happens when a person drinks Drano.

Or clear them out.

Hopefully that’ll take care of any clog issues he may have been facing.

I think death is probably one of the listed side-effects.

And Felix makes his case for the Cy Youg stronger. He only gives up two hits, one

of which was a homerun (to the leader in that category), and throws his 6th CG.

You guys I don't think we're going to make the playoffs.

Poor Felix, he doesn't deserve this.

by Heydude on Sep 23, 2010 12:35 PM PDT reply actions

So, what would be best for Felix tonight?

CC gets his usual 5+runs of support and a win?

CC gets a Felix-type loss?

by msb on Sep 23, 2010 12:37 PM PDT reply actions

Probably the run support and a win.

If he loses a close one it will be a “Gusty performance in a game with playoff implications played in the pressure cooker that is Yankee Stadium”.

No matter where you go, there you are.

CC gets shelled for 13 runs and gets the win.

NOOOOOO FELIX!

Um

nice game story

sigh.

Eric Koreen, National Post:

The Cy Young case goes like this: the New York Yankees’ ace, C.C. Sabathia, is the favourite. He leads the league in wins, with 20, and has a 3.05 earned run average to go along with that.

But Hernandez had the league’s lowest ERA entering the game (2.35) and the most strikeouts (222). It is not his fault — unless you count the fact that he re-signed with the team this off-season as a negative — that he is stuck with the woeful Mariners.

(A sample: on Thursday, the best Mariner batting average beyond Ichiro in the starting lineup was Josh Wilson’s .239; Jose Lopez and Justin Smoak share the home run lead with 10 apiece.)

Gaston, not surprisingly, thinks the award should go to Sabathia.

"Unfortunately, that’s baseball," Gaston said. "Wins are what everybody counts. Pitchers have to depend on guys playing defence for them, guys driving in runs for them. So there is a different way of looking at it. When they were little kids, they should have told them, ‘Hey, don’t be a pitcher.’"

If you like winning don't pitch.

Good advice.

This is by far the worst argument I have ever heard for anything, ever.

Does his last sentence NOT apply to both CC and Felix? Does he not think anyone should ever be a pitcher? This is not even remotely coherent.

I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.

Love the vapor out of Felix's mouth

You can see the soul being sucked out of him

The most depressing thing about this game was how all our hitting prospects looked awful.

I know, SSS and all, but it’s just … depressing.

by EnglishMariner on Sep 23, 2010 1:25 PM PDT reply actions

Sitting a bit behind home plate...

(a very attainable luxury at the empty Rogers Centre) the prospects’ poor plate performance was all the more apparent. I admit that I made no attempt to look into Shawn Hill going into the game, but it didn’t look like his stuff was as deceptive as the team was making it appear up there. You think they’d take a page out of the Jays’ book and swing from their heels at anything thrown over the plate, especially in an environment where Jose Lopez can hit three dingers in a game. Bautista’s shot even seemed to carry barely over the fence with the wind.

It also made me realize how long it’s been since there was any real reason to be excited about a Mariners prospect at the plate – understandably as many were being immediately sent off in bad trades, but depressing nonetheless. I recognize the SSS here and hold out for more time to develop at the major league level, but even Smoak and Saunders didn’t give a threatening feeling when they came up to bat at any point today.

This loss is exactly why Felix should win the Cy Young.

Wins are the worst stat ever.

Stupid early east coast games.

The game was already over before I noticed it had started. Really got to pay attention when the team is on those road trips east. But come on, 12:37EST on a Thursday? What’s the point of that?

It makes it easier not to watch

by pdb on Sep 23, 2010 2:37 PM PDT up reply actions

The thing is,

this was probably the most interesting game left on the schedule, as a Felix start, and with Ichiro reaching 200 hits. This season has given enough reasons not to watch that I was kind of looking forward to this one. I guess it’s all for the best since this game is frustrating enough without even having watched it.

by quacker27 on Sep 23, 2010 3:55 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh, Ichiro:

“After I accomplished 200 hits and I looked to the dugout, everyone was celebrating, everyone was very happy. They were showing congratulatory feelings,” Suzuki said through a translator. “That’s when I finally felt I could express my feelings in a good way and say I’m happy for what I’ve achieved.”
