There is absolutely no way that a loss tonight doesn't drive us crazy, not with the Angels' lineup and the starting pitchers on top of that. This game will either make us want to gloat or go drink some bleach.
Also, this is neither here nor there, but I'm pretty sure Jered Weaver and Reggie Willits would blend right into a Sally Struthers infomercial. Eat food. Preferably some of Vidro's.
Go Mariners.

McLaren on Richie: "I'm not going to sat Richie's a platoon player by any stretch of the imagination,'' McLaren said. "(But) it's been four months and he needs to get going. He's working hard and we keep thinking today's going to be the day.
Hargrove: IT IS NOT A PLATOON!
ok maybe there is a good explanation
I meant four
Thank The Good Lord!
In other news
Also, the White Sox get closer and closer to ending up under the Royals.
I hate Shelley Duncan
I don't hate him yet.

that would be longer
I look forward to Beltre reclaiming

Richie benched
I love when MLB.tv
Wish granted!
Wow
Fun fact: the guy behind the plate tonight, Doug Eddings, was the guy who butchered the AJ Pierzynski non-strike three call in that Game 2 of the ALCS with the Angels and ChiSox.
Vlad would fit in perfectly on the Ms
hmm vlad would swing
I believe...
Jered Weaver, bow down.
Bend over and take it vlad
Striking out against Felix isn't embarrassing.

I'd say Felix remembered to put on

10-2 in Tacoma
Breaks it anyways...
Favor the Bold
Texas 9 Cleveland 6
More traffic problems before today's game
They didn't find any suspicious package. Methinks the SPD was sent a rather elaborate dick joke.
Minneapolis had a worse traffic problem today...
ADAM JONES MAINTAINS
Ah ah ahhhh
OH FUCK!!
i don't like ben anymore
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Good to see that
OMG.
Ahhhhh
Make that...
Favor the Bold
DAMN YOU BROUUSARD!
HOLY FUCK NOOOOO!!!!
We can't have it all...
But if it were Sexson, I assume Felix would be dead.
Favor the Bold
Sexson would never get to that ball

Deep breath....
Jesus Ben
OK.
It's Raul's fault anyways.
Favor the Bold
I blame Raul Ibanez and Bill Bavasi for this.

how was it not...
worst consecutive double-single-double
BTW, the Angels own like 213 of those types of records.
Cant knock the big cat down
Adam Jones would of borrowed Ichiro's
Hmm...
Uh, yeah.
Favor the Bold
I just realized
Ugh.
Nice to see the website is doing funny things...

ICHIRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Home for You

They start earlier every year
I just picture Guillen with the toss
Guillen shank someone next time up
Can we just call this game
i know random
Wlad, Green and Jones
Talk about one hell of a September bench.
Green not on the 40 man
But

Jones Update
you know, he could just hit a HR
Tacoma as a whole
Jones, Green, Wlad all gone deep
Everyone in the lineup has a hit (except Morse).. 7 of the 8 with hits have 2 or more...
Its an offensive showing!

McLaren rewards vets for trying
Someone screen cap that AB on gameday. The only pitch he didn't swing at was the one in the strike zone.
SIDDOWN!!
Felix is making me nervous
I see that too
Sit the fuck down
I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge
He begins the game pounding the lower half of the zone and getting quick GB outs. Through the first 4/5 innings, you're likely to see a few singles, maybe a walk, less than 2 Ks and like a 3 GB/FB ratio.
Then after cruising through the lineup twice or so, Felix switches it up and starts unleashing the whole arsenal. Over the next 2/3 innings you'll see a hit or so, maybe another walk, but like 5 Ks and about an even GB/FB ratio.
The King has gone nuts
