    Sele today:

    6 3 1 1 0 2

    Looks like he’s in line for the win, with the Dodgers up 6-1 in the seventh.

    Nageotte today:

    6 9 7 7 2 3, with 2 HRs allowed.

    Blech.

    The only good thing about today is that I have decided that its trade time, I say bye bye to Beltre, Guardado, Meche and Lawton. Sexson and Everett are just about OK but they have one innings to make me think otherwise

    And who do you think you’d get to fill the holes at third, in the bullpen and on the rotation? Do you really think you’d get anyone with those four players given their play lately and the enormous size of their contracts?

    i was wondering who wants some of these give-aways… like the cheap mom t-shirt. Came across this: I wish I remembered it:

    “Just to put the icing on the cake, as an organization, (the Devil Rays) have the worst tin ear for marketing of any profit-making organization since the Seattle Mariners in the late 70’s allowed a schizophrenic 40-something man to have, during a scheduled game, a try-out for team mascot dressed in nothing more than a giant diaper held together with a giant safety pin and, ambulating on all fours for hundreds of yards until the artificial turf lacerated his hands and legs so badly he collapsed and almost bled out next to the first-base coach’s box.”

    Does a Sabathia and Wickman combination set a record for starter and closer heft?

  7. Free Dan Rohn! on May 7th, 2006 3:19 pm

    Crappy former Mariners with more home runs than Beltre:

    Miguel Olivo (3)
    Rich Aurilia (5)
    David Bell (3)
    Scott Spiezio (3)
    Miguel Ojeda (2)

  8. davepaisley on May 7th, 2006 3:19 pm

    Saw Wickman was listed at 450. Looks about right.

    Oh wait, that’s his ERA.

  9. apunetid on May 7th, 2006 3:20 pm

    Tying run at the plate!

  10. JG on May 7th, 2006 3:21 pm

    Perfect time for everyone to fall back in love with Beltre.

  11. Free Dan Rohn! on May 7th, 2006 3:21 pm

    #56… at least until the Angels sign El Guapo as their closer.

  12. Rizzs? ugh.. on May 7th, 2006 3:22 pm

    and I have as many home runs as Meche

  13. DMZ on May 7th, 2006 3:22 pm

    Albert Pujols is only five home runs behind the Mariners on the leaderboard.

  14. Norm Charlton Fan Club on May 7th, 2006 3:22 pm

    Winning run at the plate!

  15. Smegmalicious on May 7th, 2006 3:22 pm

    At-a-kid!

  16. John in L.A. on May 7th, 2006 3:22 pm

    Right on. Go Johjima!

  17. apunetid on May 7th, 2006 3:23 pm

    We’re making some noise here!

  18. Free Dan Rohn! on May 7th, 2006 3:23 pm

    OK, who is designated rally killer?

  19. Mr. Egaas on May 7th, 2006 3:24 pm

    Ha. Figures.

  20. John in L.A. on May 7th, 2006 3:24 pm

    i thknk Sexson is a bit snake-bit from the horrible balls/strikes calls last night… this one is much better.

    The foul call on Lopez hit, though was bull.

    And… oh. Boo.

  21. Norm Charlton Fan Club on May 7th, 2006 3:24 pm

    Way to give Washburn the Franklin treatment today!

  22. Free Dan Rohn! on May 7th, 2006 3:24 pm

    I guess Johjima.

  23. John in L.A. on May 7th, 2006 3:25 pm

    We get nine hits to their four and we lose 2-0. Poo.

  24. Smegmalicious on May 7th, 2006 3:25 pm

    Well shit. My mancrush was set to go into hyperdrive.

  25. apunetid on May 7th, 2006 3:26 pm

    Washburn 2-5? He’s pitching way better than that.

  26. Seatt101 on May 7th, 2006 3:31 pm

    Smeg; I’d trade them all because I reckon there is little if any upside for Beltre, Lawton, Sexson and Everett, whilst there is only disappointment with Guardado and heartache with Meche. I’d take any of Brandon McCarthy, Jon Lester or Scott Olsen for the lot quite honestly. At the moment this team is just not good enough!

  27. DMZ on May 7th, 2006 3:33 pm

    Why in the world would any team… are… what…

    never mind. I give up.

  28. Seatt101 on May 7th, 2006 3:36 pm

    DMZ; maybe me too. It would be just so refreshing to see the squad earn their money and not use the excuses of Safeco (pitcher friendly)or that we only face Cy Young pitchers.

  29. Rizzs? ugh.. on May 7th, 2006 3:37 pm

    76- just wow…

  30. JMB on May 7th, 2006 3:42 pm

    I don’t think he was saying a team would make that deal, just that he’s so disappointed by that entire group of players that he’d take just *one* young pitcher in exchange for the whole lot. You know, kinda like how I’d trade most of the team for Pujols. I don’t believe the Cardinals would do it, but I’m just saying.

  31. dw on May 7th, 2006 3:46 pm

    never mind. I give up.

    It’s turning into politics for me. A bunch of people who think they know what’s best for The Team making arguments based on a woefully incomplete understanding of reality demainding that their views be heard while ridiculing anyone who disagrees with them, and in the end solving no actual problems.

    I’m just amazed no one has yet blamed Clinton for the current situation on the field.

  32. Smegmalicious on May 7th, 2006 3:47 pm

    To be fair, it *is* Clinton’s fault.

  33. DMZ on May 7th, 2006 4:03 pm

    Hillary or Bill?

  34. Corey on May 7th, 2006 4:17 pm

    I love the trade scenarios that are about as realistic as my girlfriend magically discovering someday that she enjoys cleaning the house.

    Yay woulda-coulda!

  35. IP on May 7th, 2006 4:24 pm

    Having just witnessed live the offensive juggernaut that is your 2006 Mariners, all I have to say is booo! I actually left after the 8th, confident our boys would go out like lambs (and secretly hoping I’d be smited by a three-run homer in the bottome of the ninth for leaving early) and they didn’t let me down. Sheesh, there’s no way this team should be this bad offensively.

  36. eponymous coward on May 7th, 2006 4:34 pm

    DMZ-

    We could blame Chelsea or George Clinton, too.

  37. davepaisley on May 7th, 2006 4:57 pm

    #85 – Grover has managed to strategically space out the good hitters so they have the least possible chance to combine hits.

    Ibanez and Lopez are separated by the maximum possible real estate, and Ichiro has WFB right after him which minimizes the chances of consecutive hits. Sexson hitting right after Ibanez is another surefire rally-killer.

    Really, given current form, there’s almost no way to construct a lineup any worse.

  38. patl on May 7th, 2006 4:58 pm

    George Clinton would make a good mascot. Better than a schizophrenic man in adult sized diapers anyway.

  39. davepaisley on May 7th, 2006 5:49 pm

    “schizophrenic man in adult sized diapers anyway”

    But, hey, enough about the Moose.

  40. jglongball1 on May 7th, 2006 6:29 pm

    I would imagine George Clinton looking upon this team with disdain, for their complete lack of hip, funk, soul, whatever.

    HillnBill would of course propose a massive federal program to investigate it.

    #47 WFB’s ready for the PBA – beautiful. Comment of the month for sure!

  41. shortbus on May 7th, 2006 7:48 pm

    How the !@#$ does SuperGrover look at the futility of his lineup and not decide that maybe a pinch hitter is in order for the 9th? Petagine should have hit for Sexson there…no ifs ands or buts. Right handed pitcher. Sexson in a slump. If not Sexson then probably Johjima (even though he’s hitting all right) with two on.

    Did Hargrove think that getting tossed out is an automatic one-game suspension?

  42. msb on May 7th, 2006 9:22 pm

    It just sounds weird to hear Fairly refer to Aaron Boone as “Boonie.” Is he allowed to apply that nickname to both brothers?

    not when both brothers and their father have always been nicknamed ‘Boonie’

    We could blame Chelsea or George Clinton, too.

    Delbert Mc.

  43. Karen on May 8th, 2006 11:06 am

    Bad luck doesn’t just “happen” to this team…I think they make it…you know, like a recipe…just call it “chemistry”.

    They’re flunking Chemistry for the 3rd year in a row.
