There's a lesson to be learned from this. In today's world, you can only trust yourself, because no matter how much you believe in somebody, everyone - everyone - will let you down.

Most Important Pitch: Cockpunch, -51.6%
Total Contribution by Pitcher(s): -66.3%
Total Contribution by Position Players: +12.4%

(What is this chart?)

Back home to face the A's tomorrow. Why? Because why the fuck not, that's why.

Jeff - san diego cable

Wayyyyyyy off topic, but do you have Time Warner Cable by any chance? If so, do you know if the Padres HD station works on cable card?

Thank God Raul didn't have the biggest

contribution. Then the team would keep him in the line... oh, never mind, they already would and they don't read about advanced stats like this.

ADRIAN BELTRE HURTS THIS TEAM WITH HIS OUTLANDISH CONTRACT WHEN COMPARED WITH SEXSON'S REASONABLE ONE.

by Mariner John on Jul 26, 2007 10:34 AM PDT reply actions

So Raul did the worst possible thing for the team

yesterday. He had two doubles (One that Lofton probably should've caught), therefore, he'll be the starting LF till 2018 now. Adam Jones will probably kill himself out of anger.

by BrettJMiller on Jul 26, 2007 11:26 AM PDT reply actions

I'm sure you mean

for the long run, but I have a hard time believing a guy did the worst possible thing for the team but raking 2 doubles in a game the M's should have won.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 26, 2007 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions

What is Raul thinking?

The team is united in a group effort to suck at hitting.

Raul = not a team player. >:(

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 26, 2007 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Beltre

didn't get the memo on being a team player either... those two should be taken out back and taught a good strong lesson!

Leone

is not a major league third baseman.. never was .. never will be... anyone that strikesout 150 times in a minor league season will never amount to anything, especially when you strikeout out that much in High A ball....

(does that bring back any "DM" memories for you Jeff?)

Jack Cust will never hit Major League pitching.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 26, 2007 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions

well that much is true

he doesn't hit Major League pitching... he either obliterates it, or he misses it completely. heh

You can't, I don't think.

Nothing wrong with MSPaint though

Nothing else is better at showing desperation.

I'd walk you through it

because I had problems with it at first as well, but my new employer doesn't let me get to Photobucket so I can't do it from here. I'll take a look when i get home.

You're wrong! A dog will never let you down. A good pooch will follow you through Hell and high water. There are some ladies that look like pooches. With a little training... XD

Sigh

I'm going to the game tonight. I wish I thought that meant the Mariners would win, but I'll be with my friends at Stitch'n'Pitch, so I'm not sure whether it'll work.

can you and your friends combine to knit

deanna...

have fun at the Pitch and Stitch....went last year.....amazing to see so many knitters in one place and watch the infinite numbers of ways to attach that yarn with needles....it was a hoot.
Hopefully, also, it'll bring luck to the team to have so much creative energy there.....
