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
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.
Too bad

Not that I'd want to, with Weaver starting,

WANG! I meant WANG!

ok, funniest thing ever
Probably
that's the joke
Pretty sure

Oh
Don't forget
If Putz can pitch
I really think Weaver vs. Yankees
so really
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
by Graham MacAree on May 5, 2007 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions
I bet
Still, this i shitty.
When we get shellacked, though, I'd love to see Ellison pitch
Bloomquist first
Yeah, it's today's problem
by Graham MacAree on May 5, 2007 12:12 PM PDT up reply actions
Which is why
I'm thinking
Yours is mildy absurd as well, Corco...

29 hits allowed
I agree

That's not realistic?
34 ER on 48 H in 0 IP?
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh it is.
Formula for minimum runs allowed
Rmin= (H+BB+HBP+E)-3
by Graham MacAree on May 5, 2007 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
It's not possible
For you to tell me that of 33 balls in play, not a SINGLE one is converted into an out is flat ridiculous.
They are all hit off the wall
Some are doubles sure,
You're grasping for air.
I thought you said you were going to stop commenting here?
It's impossible because you can't

I'm just using what Dave said
and running with it!
Actually...
So the optimist in me is calling:

And then retire

Haha.

She does the pre-game

Pence hit his first career homer today
JJ Putz introducing lineup:
Bill Bloomquist
Raul Ibanez
Big Sexy ("He's tall.")
Human Beatbox
Jose Guillen
Kenji Johjima
Yuniesky Betancourt
Jose Lopez
JJ does not read well off of cue cards. Called Richie the designated hizzer.
OH FUCK
That made me laugh
Baby steps.

That'd be a waste of talent

Why not stick him at SS
If you're going to do that
I maintain that should he magically become a Mariner, the best place for him would be DH.

I'm actually pretty excited to watch Weaver
For a guy as unlikeable as Weaver
Weaver only has one gift
BIG RICHIE
But Big Richie sure can't tell.
Ump: STEERIKE!
Richie: DAMMIT, WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?
BIG RICHIE
What is this hate?
Where was that????

THATS more like it...
He still can't finish off hitters.
DROPPING DOWN!
After two innings
by ypmaj on May 5, 2007 1:28 PM PDT reply actions
He's very good.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 1:32 PM PDT up reply actions
So.....
God Bless him.
Let's be honest
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 1:34 PM PDT up reply actions
At least he had no pain
As long as it doesn't turn into anything worse
Everytime Felix gets upshed back
Uh, that wasn't even close.
I FUCKING HATE YOU WILLIE
I will buy Weaver all the drugs that he wants
Shit
Oh my god....
What an odd series...
So here's where the Shit hits the Fan, right?
Are we watching
WTF man.
How many pitches can Weaver throw
We don't need to see Barry Bonds
Going live to San Fran for Bonds AB.
I'm also glad they stuck with the at bat for the entire intentional walk.
Holy fuck I hate FOX.
The best part
He must've been captivated
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 1:52 PM PDT up reply actions
Thanks to the FOX Hot Zone
Has anyone mentioned....
I am starting to have a bad feeling about this injury.
Good news=no pain.
Wang is perfect through 4. It's jinxtime.
I actually like Giambi, strangely enough...
Yeah, Tim.
Yankees can suck my balls
With Felix pushed back
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions
It's not worth it...
ERA now down to 14.09
You think he's starting to agree with Player A about this org sucking?
If that guy....
Ah there it is
Avoids saying "perfect"
Uhhh....when did it become okay for announcers to say that?
Man if I were Dave Duncan
That might save it
Between innings chat with Hargrove.
Hargrove: Oh, he's doing the same thing he's always done, just some of the balls aren't finding holes anymore.
FOX: So it's regression to the mean.
Hargrove: That's why they call it 'average'.
FOX: Wait, who is this?
Hargrove:
How many replays do we need to see
Honestly..
by seattlesundevil on May 5, 2007 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions
Good morning to me.
- Wakes up
- Checks the score
- Stares at the score for a bit
Yep, knew this would happen.
But wow, WANG THROWING A PERFECT GAME? THATS NEAT!
And..
by seattlesundevil on May 5, 2007 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions
What if they are ahead in the Ninth
I actually hope that happens.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions
What I'm wondering,
The Yankees have to be sooo embarrased
Garage Sale this weekend...
I'll show you why...
Gosh
Is anyone else in the midwest seeing
No, the reason it's a perfect game
They should do
Swing high and downward to chop it back in the dirt and high into the air so they can get a cheap hit.
Or just pull a Ben Davis. If Wang's leg is still bothering him...the right bunt could screw it all up.
Still in denial about the whole thing because of the play at 1st earlier.
So, here's what'll happen
Hey Weaver
Well.
If Weaver can stop the bleeding here
3-0 now, nevermind.
Alternate scenario:
Felix doesn't have a 0.00 ERA, FOX.
Okay, so we lose.
Now
I dont understand keeping him in after the 3rd run, especially the 4th run...but now, 6-0...thats fine.
On a positive note
Baby steps.
How many pitchers on the staff don't blow?
Yeah, basically.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Cmoooooooooooon..
Bright Side Moment..
Where's Dave Sims when you need im?
PERFECT GAME!!!!
Oh. That was ball 4.
Hmm
Betancourt is still my pick to end it!
Okay, White.
Now they just need to take away nine more.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 5, 2007 3:06 PM PDT up reply actions
This is perfect.
Bob Sheppard has an easy job.

Ha!
I take all the credit for the homer, then.
Irony
Irony.
Nope.
Also, Felix didn't give up a run, because he's actually what we consider "good".

by mary on May 5, 2007 3:22 PM PDT reply actions
I know
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.
Everyone left
by BaltimoreMarinersFan on May 5, 2007 3:27 PM PDT reply actions
Which would you prefer?
the phillies have a pitcher named
and..he gives up a homer to Pedro freakin Feliz in his first AB.
Someone take him out
Mayweather/Hoya will be over by the time we get out of this inning.
Whos even winning that series?
Go Sabres! Even with a 1 point lead with 18 seconds left...youre not safe.
