Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners Regular News

First Pitch: 7:10pm PDT

                   

Hairston CF Ichiro CF Kinsler 2B Beltre 3B Young SS Vidro DH Teixeira 1B Ibanez LF Sosa DH Sexson 1B Blalock 3B Guillen RF Cruz RF Johjima C Laird C Betancourt SS Kata LF Lopez 2B ---------- ----------

Millwood (1-1, 4.91)        Washburn (0-0, 3.00)

Since I'm no good at predictions, let's consult Ironically Batless Adrian Beltre. Beltre?

Coach says I swing at too many bad pitches so he took away my bat.

It came with a bat
but it doesn't fit into his hands, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it work. So I'm going to stick with Ironically Batless Adrian Beltre, because I think the fatal flaw is what makes it so appropriate.

You do understand that living in a fraternity is WAY cheaper then living in the dorms. A thousand bucks less a semester and that doesn't even include how much cheaper food is. Greek Life Organizations routinely have higher grades because they help each other and give incentives for good grades and take place in countless community service and campus activities. Don't let pop culture images and a few assholes leave you with a stereotypical view of fraternities

by Trenchtown2 on Apr 13, 2007 5:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

true...
I had a few friends go into the frats at WSU, about 10 years ago. One guy dropped out because of the frat he was in. It took years to get his life in order again. Another friend of mine was able to start his own business with the hundreds of contacts he made.

The greek system works for some and doesn't work for others.

The Rangers activated Gagne
They say he's their closer.

So we might get to test his health tonight.  I see three possible outcomes should the Rangers enter the ninth with a small lead:

  1. Gagne's not healthy, and we win the game.
  2. Gagne's not healthy, but we can't hit, so they think he's healthy and they keep using him, thus hurting the team even more than a signel loss would.
  3. Gagne's healthy.
Those first two are pretty good outcomes for us.

The Hargrove Decision Tracker

Damn, it's hard when the M's have the scheduling equivalent of the NFL -- one game a week -- or so it seems...

We should probably give him some credit for leaving Felix in to get the 1-hitter.  Anything outta the Weaver game?  Probably pulling him = good decision?  

Iceberg, right ahead!

I'm not giving him any credit for obvious
decisions.

That being said, I completely forget about Hargrove tracker because of the freaking layoff. But I don't think there were any big decisions, good or bad.

Ichiro
What the hell? He'll come around and have a some hot streaks where we think he is superhuman, but seriously, has he ever sucked that much in such a small amount of time? Someone needs to remind him that he is in a contract year. If he wants to test the market, he'd better get his ass in gear. I guess he could just keep up this pace and get a 5 year contract from the M's for his veteran leadership.

by PShwa on Apr 13, 2007 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

Disagree 100%
I guarantee that if the M's dealt him right now, they could fill three holes within the organization.

Problem is trusting Bavasi to identify those holes and then acquire the proper talent.

by Trent on Apr 13, 2007 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

problem is
Ichiro wont get traded until the deadline.

If we get rid of him now we can get at least 3, four star players.

by PShwa on Apr 13, 2007 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agree
on your second point, has Bavasi ever gotten anyone good in a trade.

by dz on Apr 13, 2007 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

I still think that the Garcia deal
was fantastic at the time. It didn't pan out for the M's, but he really did get good value for Garcia. Same goes for Villone.

by Trent on Apr 13, 2007 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Heh. As I posted on SportSpot earlier...
If we're narrowing it down to what I'd think the M's could and should get for Ichiro, here's what I'm currently thinking:

Ichiro reunites with Lou in Chicago -- for Felix Pie, a pitching prospect and perhaps another player. Either Pie or Adam Jones slide over to RF (since there's no way Rauuuuuuuuul's being bumped out of LF to DH as he properly should be).

Another possibility: Ichiro stays on the west coast and goes to the Dodgers for James Loney, and one of their pitching prospects. I'd actually believe that of the potential trade destinations, LA is one of the most likely for Ichiro.

BUT, with Bavasi in charge, here's what I expect will happen. Bill will get names all confused and head to Baltimore and trade him for James Hoey (who'd be just coming off the DL with 'shoulder soreness') and Kevin Millar because with Vidro spontaneously combusting after joining Spinal Tap on their reunion tour, he'll still have this strange fixation for filling the DH role with veterans way past any prime they may have ever had. Or he'll deal with Bowden again, confusing Felix Pie for Felix Rodriguez, and grab Robert Fick because he just can't seem to figure out how to get the backup catcher situation resolved. That, and because, like me, he's thoroughly addicted to the Robert Fick Fanimutation

Iceberg, right ahead!

by PositivePaul on Apr 13, 2007 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions  

LA
for Matt Kemp + Pitching?

by PShwa on Apr 13, 2007 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think
Ichiro is doing bad in real life, cause hes doing horrendously in my MVP dynasty.

I already got Chris Young, its just a matter of time until he takes over in CF.

by PShwa on Apr 13, 2007 10:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

LA just signed Pierre to play Center
How would that work out? They have a glut of corner prospects but no one who could play center hence Pierre. Trading for Ichiro doesn't really make sense for them.

Except for the coach making a fool out of himself.

Speaking of idiots, how the fuck do you make a torrent. I'm trying to get the Felix game up but its not working, can anybody help me out here. I have use torrents thousands of times but this is the first time I have ever tried to make one and its making me lose my mind.

by Robert on Apr 14, 2007 12:22 AM PDT up reply actions  

hmmmm
so you create the torrent and it shows up in the client but won't seed? the problem with a torrent is that it would take a really long time to download a 2 gig file while only one person is seeding and there is 10 other people trying to d/l it as well.

another possible alternative could be to put it on megaupload.com. the max file size is 500 mb so you would have to break it up into several pieces.  

by seahawk24 on Apr 14, 2007 12:48 AM PDT up reply actions  

Alright I will try that
But if I can't get that to work I might as well mail the DVD to Jeff in addition to somebody who isn't a complete retard when it comes to uploading torrents.
