Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

7/26: Open Game Thread

Wbc_029_tiny by Jeff Sullivan on in Seattle Mariners Regular News

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

                   

Buck RF Ichiro CF Swisher 1B Beltre 3B Cust "LF" Ibanez "LF" Piazza DH Guillen RF Chavez 3B Vidro DH Ellis 2B Sexson 1B Kotsay CF Johjima C Scutaro SS Lopez 2B Suzuki C Betancourt SS ---------- ----------

Haren (11-3, 2.41)          Weaver (2-8, 6.19)

I don't have anything to say so here's some Mitch Hedberg to tide you over.

I was in downtown Boise Idaho and I saw a duck. I knew the duck was lost, because ducks aren't supposed to be downtown. There's nothing for them there. So I went to a Subway sandwich shop. I said, "Let me have a bun." She wouldn't sell me just the bun, she said it had to have something on it. She said it's against Subway regulations to sell just the bun. I guess the two halves aren't supposed to touch. So, I said, "All right, put some lettuce on it." "That'll be $1.75." I said, "It's for a duck." "Oh, then it's free." I did not know that. Ducks eat for free at Subway! Had I known that, I would have ordered a much larger sandwich. "Let me have the steak fajita sub, and don't bother ringing it up - it's for a duck! There are six ducks out there, and they all want Sun Chips."

Go Mariners.

I wanted a bag of chips, they were in the "HH" slot, so I pressed "H" twice, I did not get the bag of chips. Apparently there is an "HH" button...I did not learn my "AA" "BB" "CC's".

Fear and Loathing at Safeco Field
In Honor of Weaver Day!!!!

            We were somewhere in Safeco on the edge of the field when the drugs began to take hold.  I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should pitch...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge lions, all swooping and screaming and waiving around a sign, which said "I love Butter", and Vidro was running about 90 feet an hour with in top of the first against Los Angeles.  And a voice was screaming: "Holy DeJesus! Is that goddamn Animal from the muppets?"

            Then it was quiet again.  Betancourt had taken his shirt off and was pouring rainbow beer out his nose, to appease the flying saucer god.  "What the hell are you yelling about?" he muttered, staring up at Mike Scioscia's head with his eyes closed and covered with big scary sunglasses.  "Never mind," I said.  "I'll be fine."  I took the mound, and larger than life, there I was ... Mother of God! There I am! Holy fuck!.  No point mentioning those lions, I thought.  The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

More strangeness
Regarding the winning spell (well, until recently):

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could throw strikes anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

...

One more inning? You poor fool! Wait till you see that goddamned lion!

...
To Kenji during a mound visit:

You pitch. You pitch. I think there's something wrong with me

...

Strange memories on this nervous night in Los Angeles. Has it been five days? Six? It seems like a lifetime, the kind of peak that never comes again. Seattle in the middle nineties was a very special time and place to be. But no explanation, no mix of drugs or alcohol or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

If our losing streak reaches 12
by the 31st can we be sellers?

I'm sure there's a lot of teams looking for some veteran leadership.

It's not the vetran's faults. Guys like Ibanez,
Sexson, Vidro, etc are the guys holding this team together during this difficult stretch.

There's a big difference between AAA and the bigs and luckily, Bavasi realizes this.

Rotoworld is funny sometimes
Jose Vidro, recently moved into the fifth spot in Seattle's lineup, went 0-for-4 in Thursday's loss, narrowly missing a game-tying homer in the eighth inning.

When Vidro came up just short of getting it over the right-field wall, Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims chimed in that he didn't quite "get all of it." Actually, we're pretty sure that was Vidro getting all of it. There's a reason the guy doesn't have a homer in two months. He's been doing a nice job of hitting for average lately, but there's still little reason to think he's the Mariners' best choice at DH.

Try telling a beloved player to his face that he's being pulled because he hits 186/237/300 with RISP vs LHPs.  You probably will not get a favorable response.
