6/8: Open Game Thread

Beluga Tits (6-4, 5.43) Germano (4-0, 1.74)
In 62 innings this year spent between the real minors (PCL) and the glorified minors (NL), Germano has fanned 30 batters, walked just five, allowed three homers, and induced groundballs on 57% of balls in play. The only thing keeping him from being the pitching version of Yuniesky Betancourt is that the pitching version of Yuniesky Betancourt would lead the league in balls inadvertently thrown into the dugout.
I'll be in attendance, which means the M's will lose, because nothing good ever happens to me in the world of sports, and you guys are boned for choosing the same team to root for. Accept it now, because the only thing worse than living the life of the damned is not knowing that you live the life of the damned.
uh, LET'S GO MARINERS!!

Happy Beluga Tit's day!!

And I hate Roger Ebert.
I'm outta here, it's Miller Time! Go M's!
Ebert is just mad...
You know a movie really sucks when Ebert hates it.
Calm down Jeff!
I think you missed Jeff's point...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENJI JOHJIMA
A Japanese b-day cake for Kenji then
Well he hit 7 against
One of the joys of IL play:
He needed a snack and confused it with a toblerone
Alfonso Soriano..
It's a shame Lou has to bat him leadoff.
Yeah, I did.
IT'S BOCACHICA TIME!
I was playing
people who don't know players annoy me, haha.
off to the bar, to watch the game
Beltre back in the field...
Junior hit #14
He's now tied for 7th MLB lead in HR's.
I hope he hits 3 the first day of the Mariner/Reds series, and I hope they're all off of Julio Mateo.

Why on earth
I admit that I wouldn't mind seeing him hit a solo shot if the M's are up by a comfortable amount, though.
I'd love for that to happen as long as we won.

I like Batista, but I have to wonder...
Kenji, sweetie,
I was thinking that too
Fuck you, Germano
Good thing that was on the bicep and that Germano throws like a little girl.
Betancourt!
19!!!
Ichiro, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Nice
Batista believe it or not, hits more home runs per at bat than WFB.
In other news, there is a section in the Sonics lease that can and should potentially screw over Bennett's efforts to move the team. Sonics Central did real good work in detailing it. Seattle knows what they are doing.
Horrible.
This is why I like the DH.
Well that's as many runs as we had last time
by TheMarinator on Jun 8, 2007 7:31 PM PDT reply actions
Ichiro really wanted the ball.
Moon Over Mike Cammy!
No more NH
Are you really surprised?
I want them to lose as much as anyone, but Anaheim is probably poised to sweep.
man, Kip Wells
Don't care.
Would somebody just beat those god damn Angels?
wow, that's a great question
I missed it.
how many home runs hit by AL pitchers

Bocachica?
Hoping for a BelugaTits groundball right about now
Ichiro never dives
He's not gonna walk the pitcher is he
Richie should've let it go
See Batista?
Batista's pretty good Coach.
Also, Bunting the runner over does not help your team a lot, but I see where you're going with this, since it is the pitcher and all. But you're more likely to score with a runner on first and no outs than a runner on second and one out.
in general, but yeah,
Yeah, exactly.
For us it helps a lot
I think what coach means
however
batista's actually pitching pretty well and I don't expect anything out of him at the plate.
I'm just thinking
Yeah, right
I've always loved the name Termel Sledge.
The Padres' offense sucks

They're not the number 2 hitting team.

Well, about that birthday blast...
Kenji!
Funk blast! (almost)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENJI!
KENJI!
1 out double by Funny Face.
batista has been dealing, no doubt
Richie needs to be taller.

C'mon, Tits! Don't let 'em shell ya.
Man, if only Richie were another 3 inches tall, and had another 6 inches on his wingspan.

Say what you want about Batista.
Miguel Batista likes the NL
I fixed your post.
He's had some good outings in the AL too.
Sure.
"Gonzalez the only Padre with double-digit HR
Tanjoubi-jima!
Yeah, why the hell not?
He has a RBI too.
Fair ball!
Yeah I know, weird.
I'm beginning to get worried
I guess there's a damn good reason Batista
"More than doing his job"
He was safe!
I thought he was out
Grit
He was safe.
hahahaha
Can we have
Haha we did that today in our softball game.
Miguel Batista's
I like
Great play by Beluga
"Nice play by Adrian by not killing his pitcher."
Beltre
what's the word I'm looking for?
yes.
First walk of the night.
Can Dave Sims shut his fucking mouth?
2 BB on the inning.
haha Cruz tried to buy a ball from that shit swing
Can this team beat up Boomer enough
Or will they pretend that Reefer is Jamie Moyer and not score any runs?
Nobody can make Reefer Jaw irrelevent.
Fuck, we need this out.
Betancourt!
My bad, wrong place posted.
Where was that?
Hargrove, why aren't you pulling him?
GODDAMNIT BETANCOURT!
wow
sean green? oh shit
Come on B!
Fuck Betancourt.
By the way, Gameday has "Ball four" totally in the strike zone for Jose Cruz Jr.
FUUUUUUUUUUUDGE
And, damn, when did the knees stop being a strike? F'ing Ump.
F'ing Yuni.
Fucking Betancourt.
That was partly Richies fault too.
good outing for Batista
Seriously, why would you even make that throw
I'm glad those two runs were unearned.
Trade Proposal.
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
Just fucking great.
I cant believe we are going to lose
Come on George.
This is fucking great
Evidently,
Batista was definitely Yunibombed!
Am I the only one that had a Buckner flashback
What the heck happened
The Cuban's shitty defense strikes again.
Batista doesn't deserve his line.
Jose Lopez is the far superior defender this year.
How can we let this happen against a team
poor Jeff
Actually the sports God in general are shitting on him.
C'mon Ichiro get this goin
INF hit and an error?
Lopey loped a loper.
Okay.
All umps on the shitlist.
Yuni reminds me of Knoblauch
God please don't say that
The difference between them
That FSN keeps messing up.
Do these guys know who's going for them
And we're still alive on the inning.
Okay, let's go M's!
More like a Funk Groundout.
He should be ok.
Although I wouldn't mind a karmic injury to Ibanez.
Qwest sucks
Bard, Cameron, Branyan
Going back to the Sexson line EH?
Until Reitsma comes in that is
Woah, he actually got a breaking ball over.
Trevor Hoffman

Noooo....
Dont you dare lose the tie Morrow
Remember when Greene was a rookie
Fastball down the heart of the plate.
Thank you Tim Timmons.

Fire Mike Hargrove.
WTF is Garcia doing??
What just happened?
Garcia and that ump have been exchanging words
Ha.
OMFG
Umpires biased
haha
And fuck you Jose Vidro.
Who is the new coach?
I'm not sure
quack off
:Grabs sword:
Hargrove used 3/5ths of the bench.
It seems this year Hargrove hasn't fucked up as much, but then again maybe we haven't noticed because there haven't been a lot of tied or 1 run ballgames.
We've been winning despite him.

Not saying he isn't a dumbass
bocachica
Del Bocachica, Phase 2
Have they said why Garcia was ejected?
The ump said he was outside of the 3B coaches box
Ah, well then it's his own stupidty.
Out of the coaches box.
Being out of the coach's box.
Burke Rulz!
That error better not be the deciding factor.
And here comes the base hit.
Yeah, we NEED this win.
Don't let Gonzo get to the plate.
This is ending in this inning
And would'nt be fitting if KOUZ was the one who did the dirty deed
Looked it.
Nope -- slo mo still showed it was a great call.
Kenji!!

Oh yeah that's Burke.
I think so.
He better not fuck up this throw

But still he's only Rauul. Raul should only hit against submariners cause he hit one of off Neshek and now Cla Meridith
Raul!
Rafuckinguuuulll.
Okay.
Guy in the M's jersey sure looked like him.
And, uh, can we just have Raul face sidearmers all the time?
Like, call up Austin Bibens-Dirkx to pitch batting practice specifically for Raul?
That was the biggest shocker of the entire season.
Opposite field dinger by Ibanez to put us ahead...
Oh, and Burke is awesome.
That would've been hilarious
Jamie Burke. Almost as awesome as Red.
jamie burke
Okay.
Heh. Spicoli's up. Rrrright. Oh, wait. I forgot, there's an exTREEEEMLY biased Hump calling balls and strikes.
