There's something so appropriate about Jeff Weaver starting on Cinco de Mayo. At least if he blows, he has an excuse.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Nothing
gets by you, does it?

Hopefully they pull him after the first 3 runs. We came back yesterday...why cant we do it again today.

Funny how our offense kicks glute the minute they start taking walks.

I'd say
it's more likely Jeff Weaver hits a home run.

ok, funniest thing ever
everyone needs to go watch the Yuni double from last night.  Right after Sexson scores he kicks Yuni's bat out of the way, but it's not just a little kick, it looks like he winds up and kicks the crap out of it.  Plus with Sexson being 6'8...it just looks really really funny.

Ehhhh

Brett Myers beats women as well. But he can pitch so I would rather have him than Mateo, if you know, there was a Designated Batterer position we absolutely had to fill.

If Putz can pitch

equals a large emergency.

so really
Best case scenario White can go 4, Reitsma 2, Sherrill 1, Putz 1, Morrow 1.

But if White can pitch four innings against the best lineup in baseball, I'm a tomato.

We NEED Weaver to go at least 1 inning.

This is a pain in the ass, actually
Sean Green and Jake Woods are all the way across the bloody country. Dunno about you guys but I'd be fine with Green getting 4 in against the Yankees. Today's a lost cause after all.

by Graham on May 5, 2007 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I bet
we see Mateo on the suspended list tomorrow, and Green/Woods are on a plane.

Still, this i shitty.

When we get shellacked, though, I'd love to see Ellison pitch

Bloomquist first
though.

Yeah, it's today's problem
Not really an issue in the long run, but there's no way we can reinforce the pen for today.

by Graham on May 5, 2007 12:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Which is why
it doesn't matter so much if White has to go 4.  Hopefully Weaver will be motivated to make a point to Chavez and Hargrove that they shouldn't have tried to change him, and ride that motivation through at least 2 innings.

It's not possible
48 - 15 HRs = 33 balls in play.

For you to tell me that of 33 balls in play, not a SINGLE one is converted into an out is flat ridiculous.

I'm just using what Dave said
"Weaver will be asked to go at least five innings regardless of the score. If he gets hit early on, he won't be pulled."

and running with it!

by I'm NOT Corco on May 5, 2007 12:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Actually...
The more I think about it, I think (hope) Weaver comes out, feels the fire under his asshole and pitches the game of his life. He's already stated that he knows his career is riding on this game and that he's going to forget everything the M's tried to 'fix' with him mechanics-wise.

So the optimist in me is calling:
6.2 IP  6H 3R 1HR 1BB 4K

Why not stick him at SS
And Yuni at 2B, then move Lopez to either 1B or DH, and in this scenario Sexson is of course traded for anything.  A-Rod's not the SS he once was, but Yuni and Beltre flanking him would hide him pretty well, and Yuni has 50 games in the bigs as a 2B, and if I recall, he was pretty good at it.

Felix doesn't have a 0.00 ERA, FOX.
Nor is he coming back on the 9th. How is your information more outdated than a blog's?

Okay, so we lose.
Whatever, we expected to lose. Now it's time to bunt bunt bunt our way to one-hit glory!

Now
they take him out, after the game is outta reach.

I dont understand keeping him in after the 3rd run, especially the 4th run...but now, 6-0...thats fine.

Maybe the long inning
Broke Wong's rythm.

So ummm
Does Weaver get another start since he blew up late instead of early?

Btw
Whats Weaver's era now?

by Slica on May 5, 2007 2:50 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

he still lowered it to
15.35, subject of course to the two runners still on.

they want him to fail...
so they can get rid of him

On a positive note
That was Weaver's best start of the year.

I think ESP GameCast is jammed. It's showing the 6th inning again, only claiming its the 7th and putting Sean White's face up there instead of Weaver's dirty old mug.

I'd just gone to take care of some chores.  I came back, saw the score, said "Holy ****, Wang's still throwing a no-hitter!", and then Broussard homered.  

I take all the credit for the homer, then.

Irony
Felix' was broken up with 1 out in the 8th, right?

Irony.

by Slica on May 5, 2007 3:21 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nope.
Drew's single was leadoff.

Also, Felix didn't give up a run, because he's actually what we consider "good".

I know
and it's really bad long term. Because now Weaver gets a ton more starts.

But still...crazy stuff here. I don't even know what to think.

Broussard hitting a home run though...that makes me happy.

He's quickly coming up on John Mabry as my favorite player.
