Game 106, Mariners at Tigers
DMZ · August 3, 2005 at 2:52 pm · Filed Under Mariners
RHP Gil Meche v LHP Mike Maroth. 4:05, FSNW.
I submit tonight’s questions:
Will Gil Meche’s shoulder hold up, or will we see his arm actually come off, mid-delivery, and fly thirty, forty feet towards home?
Would Dmitri Young still swing?
What wacky lineup will Mike Hargrove run out against this lefthander?
Please, everybody be cool today. Thanks.

Headline for tomorrow’s game:
“Excalibur Has Been Pulled From the Stone.”
I like it.
Sometimes, I figure something out randomly that makes this all worthwhile.
🙄
:moon:
😮

ATHF!
You’re just practicing so you can add those graphic emoticons to the comment guidelines, right?
Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
My Meatwad impression can make a grown man cry, and stab his ears out with a pen.
I’m not telling anyone what the emoticon codes are.
:moon: We’re the moon.
You should be listening to the postgame show on KOMO- Drayer is saying “Hey, maybe Franklin popped positive for beef”, and Glasgow is totally ripping this. “Yeah, right, people would get banned from the Olympics for eating beef?”
Am I allowed to guess 🙄
:moon: Yes, on the moon nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks.
😈
You don’t have to worry; I can’t stand the things myself. :moon:
d’oh
According to the KOMO postgame show, Campillo’s getting TJ surgery.
Aw, crap.
If I abuse it you can always :beat:
Thus ends my brief dalliance with adding emoticons
Ouch. Just reported on the KOMO post-game show that Campillo needs Tommy John surgery.
I’m waiting for a link on Campillo. Yeagh.
Damn it, no :beat:
Damn it, Campillo surgery. We’ll see him next year then. Nice knowing ya.
Tommy John: that means we’ll see him in 2007. Double damn. Triple damn. This hurts almost as much as Madritsch. Not that I thought Campillo was going to come on and win Rookie of the Year, but jeez, couldn’t he have gotten more than 17 pitches to show what he’s got?
We’re snakebit.
Wow. There’s got to be something in the water in Tacoma that erodes the ligaments and labrums of pitchers.
Next year? Try 2007. Recovery time is 12-18 months. Soriano’s a fringe case.
So, are Cheney Stadium AND Safeco built on Indian graveyards? This is ridiculous.
It was all Bryan Price!!! Damn him!!!! Changing his mechanics in the ‘pen minutes before his first pitch!!!!!
(Yes, I’m kidding)
Campillo’s got his own post now.
And, to seriously chime in on other’s comments….
Darn it! Darn it! Darn it!
I really wanted to see Campillo pitch for the M’s, and, yes, it DOES seem as if this team is snakebit.
It’s just a shame, is what it is.
Bloomquist is better than average at the positions he plays and hitting better than the team average. Therefore, if everyone on the team could say the same we would have a better than average team. The fact that he is being paid close to the ML minimum makes it a pretty sweet deal for the Ms.
I guess I’m more critical of the multi millionaire players, both position and pitchers, who have let the team down from day one than a role player who gladly is having a pretty darn good season. Go figure!?!?
Willie’s BA is above the team average, but nothing else is. He’s nowhere near average even for this miserable-hitting club in the numbers that count; his OPS is a good sixty points below the team average, which is terrible. The fact that others are struggling too doesn’t make Willie special. And his season isn’t pretty damn good.
Um, that Bloomquist hits better than the team average does not mean that 9 Bloomquists would make for a team that wins more than it loses. It means it’s a really bad offensive team.
Besides which, that’s not even true:
WB:.264/.310/.333
Team:.260/.318/.397
The team average is better than Willie.
Next time I won’t bother to go get the numbers. Scooped by Thornton indeed.
104 pitches, 4.2 innings. I was close.
Ugh. I am tempted to not even watch again until 2007- I just can’t see a way that their pitching will ever be decent until at least then. How depressing.
Hey, DMZ, it’s “:moon:”
Even I could figure it out.
Gil Meche tells the Associated Press:
“Had the hardest time trying to locate my fastball tonight. I was being too aggressive with it. If I can’t make that pitch, you can see the outcome.â€Â
I decline to call Felix Hernandez “King.” El Rey, si. El Gato, si mucho. “King,” no: it’s a mixed metaphor. Even Orlando Hernandez wa El Duque.
I’m someone about to post a lot of mindless profanity, and I —
Wait. Never mind.
Jim, it might be too late, but what about “King Felix’s Coronation Has Come” or “M’s Anointed Ace Arrives”.
Thought I could view source and snag the new emoticon…dam
Jim, although I don’t like it as much as King Felix, Kid K is another nickname I’ve seen in quite a few places, and it might be a little easier to incorporate.
My vote for #335 like that trple a aliteration
