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

And don’t tell me I can’t badmouth Ty Cobb when i feel like it, either. He’s been dead a lot longer.

He loved the game more than any player out there today, and Kirby wore it on his face.

Apparently that’s not the only thing he loved…

sigh. so the piranhas did their usual job, Mateo did his usual job, and viola.

Meh, Mateo looks more like a cello. Or a bass. Or a double bass.

184: Viola? He hasn’t pitched for the Twins for years. (rimshot) It’s “voila.”

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…’

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.

You can be a very good player and still be overrated.

We may be toast with Felix

Personally, I’m laying in a major supply of jams and jellies. But that’s just me.
