I also heard rumor that William (Wallace) Bloowquist was 10 feet tall and could shoot bolts of lightning from his arse. #203 I thought that was the case but I wasn’t sure.

And this week, he gets the walk-off game-winning single. Willie is a hero! The Mariners must immediately sign Willie to a multiyear, incentive-laden contract. Willie Bloomquist, Lifetime Mariner.

Willie is a hero!

The Mariners must immediately sign Willie to a multiyear, incentive-laden contract.

Willie Bloomquist, Lifetime Mariner.

I just checked: 54 comments posted at 9.53pm (and just 17 in the hour leading up to that) 156 comments in the 2 hours since. What a backloaded game thread. Wow. I just checked:

While the immediate symmetry is broken, there may be another larger one lurking that factors in tonight's win. Not sure how many seasons it will take to play out It’s a good formula, a nice pattern.

I hope you weren't looking for some scientific explanation, for in this regard it is severly lacking. Here it goes: Our walk-off over the course of the 2006 baseball season have been performed by the following players in the following order: x1x yy z2? Where: - "x" represents Carl Everett - "y" represents Richie Sexson - "z" represents Adrian Beltre - numbers (1,2) represent no one in particular -letters represent walk-off homers - numbers represent walk-off singles - the question mark represents the outcome of tonight's game So, looking at our formula, we can see that Everett hit a walk-off, then there was a walk-off single, then Everett hit another walk-off. After this Sexson hit two walk-offs. Beltre then hit one, and this was followed by a walk-off single. In order for the whole trend to come full-cirlce and end in a symmetrical manner, Beltre had to hit a walk-off tonight, which would have replaced the question mark with a "z" and left the trend looking like this: x1x yy z2z This would have made everything quite symmetrical, but instead we have this trend: x1x yy z23 Although tonight's results disrupt my little trend here, they do reflect the fact that Bloomquist's been terrorizing pitchers throughout baseball, and is simply one of the most dangerous men to have at the plate late in a ballgame. Dangerous for the Mariners, that is. Thanks for reading! 118: OK, here’s my crazy and random walk-off trend which was just broken tonight.

Our walk-off over the course of the 2006 baseball season have been performed by the following players in the following order:

x1x yy z2?

Where: – “x” represents Carl Everett
– “y” represents Richie Sexson
– “z” represents Adrian Beltre
– numbers (1,2) represent no one in particular

-letters represent walk-off homers
– numbers represent walk-off singles
– the question mark represents the outcome of tonight’s game

Dangerous for the Mariners, that is. Thanks for reading!
