Preliminary reports are that there is no structural damage. Official word coming shortly, but it sounds like Felix is okay.
Edit: Official News is “flexor strain”, won’t throw for 5 days, will be re-evaluated after that. “As good news as you can get”, per the doctor. Whew!
197 – You shouldn’t take shots at dead Hall of Famers. It’s bad form.
Sweet Rauuuuuuul!
Well at least everyone in the ballpark knows exactly what Sexson is going to try to do.
You know what’s REALLY annoying…
To know we’re now within 1 run in the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, in a game that never should have been 6-2 before Raul’s HR in the first place.
201: Oh yeah? Rogers Hornsby was a jerk!
197 – You shouldn’t take shots at dead Hall of Famers. It’s bad form.
How is it taking a shot against him to say that he is overrated? That means I’m taking a shot at the people who overrate him. You can be a very good player and still be overrated.
I’m wondering if Hargrove’s man-crush on WFB isn’t because he just gets him confused with Raul Ibanez. Gawky looking white guys and all – but that was some grrrrit.
k
!!!!!!!!!!
I smell a Bloomquist PR.
I meant double 😀
Will Willie be thrown out trying to score from second on an infield single?
C’mon Jose, it’s time to introduce yourself to Seattle.
RE: #208 and 211: Yeah, that was unexpected…!
damn train
Ballgame.
I was just early 😀
213: “Hi, I’m Jose, and-…” strikethree
And it’s over. Another Mateo blanket party.
Nathan hasn’t really impressed me thus far this season.
206-Bring some evidence if you think he was overrated. 1991 World Series is enough for me. The catch and then the homer. Not to mention a batting championship, numerious gold golves a plus 300 batting average, consistent power in a non power hitting era and one damn greaet personality. He loved the game more than any player out there today, and Kirby wore it on his face.
Also, enjoy the three game sweet Mariner fans. It’s been fun in Seattle.
Mateo’s WPA: -.446
The rest of the team: -.058 (and a big chunk of that is Guillen’s K to end the game)
Thanks a lot, Grover.
well there always next year
Grover and Mateo snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Oops. The rest of the team was -.054.
Well, there is one good thing:
“After an MRI and an examination by the team’s doctor, Edward Khalfayan, it was determined that Hernandez has a Grade 1 (mildest) flexor-pronator strain in his right elbow. Khalfayan told reporters just before Thursday’s game that “it was as good as news as you can expect.” Had he suffered damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, Hernandez would have needed season-ending surgery.”
Thank God, we’re toast without Felix. We may be toast with Felix becuase our bullpen needs help. Too bad we got rid of Soriano…
Anyone listen to postgame comments on TV? Was hoping to get something from Grover about Mateo coming in to get groundballs, but no quotes in the recap online.
Personally, I’m laying in a major supply of jams and jellies. But that’s just me.
*coughderekjetercough*
Nathan hasn’t really impressed me thus far this season.
Nathan’s been crap so far this season, but it seems mostly that he’s had shaky command. I would suspect that’ll come back eventually, but the Twins are certainly a lot less good if Nathan turns out to be human after all.
so, too young to remember Pogo?
on the postgame, there were back to back radio calls illustrating just why the Ms think about their fans as they do:
‘why isn’t Rick Rizzs on the tv anymore?’
‘when are we going to see more of Willie Bloomquist? I sure think he is something…’
Meh, Mateo looks more like a cello. Or a bass. Or a double bass.
Apparently that’s not the only thing he loved…
#201
And don’t tell me I can’t badmouth Ty Cobb when i feel like it, either. He’s been dead a lot longer.
could this be worrysome about the mariners management ineptitude.
straight from the very bottom of the hernandez article on the AP baseball wire.
Triple-A reliever Eric O’Flaherty was in the Mariners’ clubhouse after Thursday’s game and is likely to be recalled from Tacoma before Friday’s game at the Los Angeles Angels. O’Flaherty, a left-hander, could be the bullpen replacement for Morrow if the rookie does take Hernandez’s place.
sure, have morrow learn how to start in baseball, by giving him starts in the big leagues.
i don’t see anything good coming out of that
