Too bad WFB isn’t starting…
Bloomquist! Kata! It’s Major League Baseball on FSN!!!
Bret Boone sighting!
Look for some Kata-tonic defense from Texas.
apparently there was quite the turn-out for Edgar at the luncheon today: Dave Niehaus, Dan Wilson, Dave Valle, Mike Blowers, Jeff Nelson, Norm Charlton, Dave Henderson, Raul Ibanez, Willie Bloomquist, Alvin Davis, Jay Buhner & Boone …
Ad was on the radio this afternoon fandly remembering the kid they worried would just be a slick glove, line-drive hitting 3rd baseman, in an era of power from the infield corners– interestingly, he stressed Edgar’s defense, his ability to go to his left, his glove.
Why did they let Willie in?
I would have hoped that Dick Balderson would show up and apologize for making the decision to keep Edgar out of the Hall of Fame by riding Jim Presley into the ground.
maybe they’re saving that for tomorrow night …
I don’t know what stupid producer thought all those shots of women in bikinis and halter tops was a great idea … but he was absolutely right.
8… it’s kind of like how people at the game only pay attention during the hovercraft races. Except we only watch if they show women in halter tops.
Go M’s!
35,000 tonight? Uh huh.
35,000 peanuts, maybe.
Many reports about Teixeira being on the trading block. Go after him?
Wow, good positioning! That’s almost always a base hit.
Everyone else hear that great news? Hargrove is going to be gone all weekend!
Go Weaver! And take Hargrove with you!
I think Teixeira, while a very good player, is overvalued. He should be on a list of “Players Who Get Lumped In With Superstars But Really Aren’t.” Like Carlos Lee.
Here’s another bit of good news
Orioles 2-0 Angels bottom of 1st
17… sounds perfect for the Yankees.
ICH!
So when does the national media take up the drumbeat of a hit streak? At about 35 games?
#25!!!
Ichiro, again running out of pure fear of Jose Vidro.
Wow, that was close.
Aaaaaaaaaaand GIDP removed. Good work.
If Young swipe tags he is probably called out.
he’s respecting Vidro’s GIDP ability. Respect brotha
Mariners, by the way, are up to #11 in ESPN’s Power Rankings. Pretty good since it came after the losses to the Angels.
I missed seeing Boonie, dammit! Oh well, it’s probably too hot for him to be wearing my favorite M’s apparel item, the knit-cap-turned-into-neck-warmer.
Make way for ducklings!
Did Dave just recite us a spring poem?
I wonder if Ichiro will hire Boonie as a designer.
They probably let Bloomquist in because they needed somebody to bring drinks to the table. And park their cars.
Teixeira has been on the whisper blocks for a couple of weeks already. Why would the M’s want him? They’ve already got a backup 1B who doesn’t get enough playing time, and another player who belongs at 1B but is instead occupying a corner outfield position where he’s blocking a kid who deserves to be brought up from Tacoma.
Just because a “name” might be available doesn’t mean you automatically want him for the team. When it comes to minor league talent you grab everybody who is good and figure out how to find them time, or flip them for something else. But at the major league level, you have to actually assemble a team… and I realize that watching Bavasi the past couple of years may have confused a lot of people on this point.
Guillen hasn’t figured out the bounces off the wall yet, it’s a little disheartening.
AWESOME. I just guessed that right. The power of my lack of real knowledge is ASTOUNDING!
32 – great points. Teixeira would be a good add if we had no one, but to flip Sexson might be more trouble than it’s worth.
Teixeria might seem ripe for the Yankees; I’ve also heard talk the Orioles might take a look.
i saw sexson mentioned in a ny post story the other day as a possible yankees target.
Did you see your lost shift key?
I think Wash just got bored so he loaded the bases to see if he could get out of it.
Teixeira is from the Baltimore area. And however much we may complain about Bavasi, Hargrove and Lincoln, with complete justice, we can count our blessings that our owner is not Angelos. Better an absentee owner, than an active idiot.
that was a fine look. Boonie looked a little chubby, as though hanging around the house, playing with the kids was agreeing with him.
so, I had a distracting phone-call — is it Jarrod’s pitching tonight, or the ump, or both?
Anyone in NYC who wants to watch a west coast M’s game on a weeknight and can’t find a bar, do not bother going to ESPN sports zone in Times Square (not that you should, no one should ever seek out Midtown Manhattan for a good time in NYC, it’s like having the choice between a trip to Venice, Italy, or the Venetian Hotel in Vegas, and picking the latter) . ESPN will have the game on a 15″ screen that you can’t get closer than 30 feet to unless you want to eat $48 hot wings instead of sit at the bar, but they will neglect to mention that they close at midnight when the game’s in the bottom of the fifth if you’re lucky, at least not until you’ve bought a couple of 20 oz. overpriced “microbrews” because it’s the only thing that’s seemingly not of the MGD/Bud/Heineken craptastic fast food menu of beer but still tastes like a mass-produced beer. Ugh, what a hateful experience.
i got into the bad lazy habit of typing in all lowercase years ago. its really hard not to send business emails like this but if it is in the best interest of the big boat mariner then I Shall Capitalize!
We can all be thankful Todd Jones isn’t our closer.
Joel Sherman’s actual line in the Post was “STOP talking about Todd Helton and Richie Sexson now. Those are not solutions for the Yankees. That is the cancer. That is the reason why they are in this horrible state: Their unquenchable habit of meeting every crisis by going to players who are famous, expensive and almost certainly have already played the best baseball of their careers.”
you know, I just can’t go with Wash as a nickname for Jarrod. I think I’ve been too Whedoned.
Yeah, Teixiera, in a way, would be the ultimate Angelos Oriole.
#41
That was Hunter Thompsonesque
How about “Jarrod, The Galleria of Pitching”?
Old Man River over in left can’t quite get to it…
#47– now that I could get behind.
Ohhhh msb. Wash.
on the Fox pre-game show, the Rangers were all pretending to be worried about having to face Washburn ….
Heh. “Where’d you get that home run?” “I got it at JARROD!”
Washburn’s given up five hits and two runs and y’all are making Serenity references?
Does no one care? Where’s the weeping and gnashing of teeth?
Sorry. Make that three runs.
#50. damn you Joss.
#53. Firefly, if you please.
Washburn hasn’t been bad enough the rest of the time for weeping and gnashing. M’s have been hitting like crazy and I will mentally force them to make these runs back, no problem.
msb: Well, my sad face was certainly Serenity-based.
I think that’s the Subway Jarrod on the mound cause he’s servin’ up a mean meatball sandwich.
Washburn is amazing at mean regression. Seriously. It’s as if he checks his career norms before each game and thinks to himself, “Okay, I’m 16 points above my career ERA this season … time for a 6-inning, 4-run game to keep things on a nice even keel.”
I am fighting back tears, but when I contemplate Texas pitching and defense, I just can’t give up.
I have two expensive dental implants. I try not to gnash my teeth.
weeping, on the other hand … maybe some tearing of hair, rending of clothing
Zambrano vs. Barrett … what would the Vegas line be on that title bout?
The one thing Zambrano can throw with location…a right hand.
Who knew?
I know. dammit.
lordy, Jarrod.
and tomorrow– Kameron Loe, who traditionally has had a baffling effect on Mariner bats.
Where’s Crash Davis when you need him?
*gnashes teeth*
Barrett would go down faster then Chuck Liddell
44… Sexson is most definitely the solution to the Yankees’ problem, just like Hughes would be the answer to ours. It’d be a win-win.
hey jimbo, the line is zambrano -350, barret has already made a trip to the hospital to get his lip repaired
Uh oh. Isn’t White the crummier of the two?
Was hoping I wouldn’t have to start drinking yet, thanks Jarrod “The Good Pitching Tease” Washburn
burn the land and boil the sea/ some not good throws by Suzuki
and Lou & Larry Rothchild trying to get between them.
I went to see the Cubs and a baseball game broke out!
#70: Which White? Jack or Meg?
Teixeira just got pulled — I wonder if they just traded him?
tex was hit in the head
and left the field looking pretty groggy.
I been thinkin’ ’bout Mark’s doorbell … when ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it?
so, what are the odds the Ms make something of bases-loaded?
RA-MULTIPLE-U’s-LLLLL!!
(Kevin Costner voice) Grrrround ball with eyes?
Pretty good.
80- 100%
RAUUL!!!
Uh-oh … better stand back and grab hold of something solid when Lauren has “multiples.”
our man jarrod has totally regressed to the mean. shall we have an e-funeral for his so-called emergence? shall there be condolences? a moment a of silence for what could have been?
YEAH!!! Big Sexy!
Don’t look now, Richie’s hitting .200
#87: Why bother? He’ll have about four more “taken a big step forward” moments this year.
Richie’s new Match.com personal-ad headline: “SEXY AND SINGLE-LICIOUS!”
Teixeira was hit under the left eye and has a mild concussion. He’s listed as day-to-day.
Boone’s in the radio booth
Jose, can you see?
A real pitcher’s duel
More like dueling banjos.
That was the 54,937th missed HR of Sammy Sosa’s career.
Keep it up, Richie! My wife calls Richie, “Sexy Sexerson.” It’s not really an endorsement of his sex appeal, she just doesn’t follow the M’s much these days and can’t remember his real name. Edgar, however, she would leave me for. Kind of an odd snapshot into where the team is these days with the more fleeting fan base.
Mendoza line or no, “Big Sexy” is a fine addition to the team that brought us “Bone,” “Big Unit,” “A-Rod,” etc. Can we please trade for Chien-Ming Wang asap?
Hargrove: Get me a Sean!
Slaton: Which one?
Hargrove: The one with a color as his last name!
Slaton: Ummm… OK. Eenie meenie…
Don’t forget “Little Willie.”
The best one of all.
ah, Hargrove’s last act before leaving for Cleveland — removing Washburn with the bases loaded, and the M’s down a run.
oh, and Mike Scioscia last week on leaving the Angels to see his child’s high school graduation:
“your son graduates from high school only once. Well, we hope it’s only once. We haven’t seen his final grades yet.”
97-
Why do you despise Sosa so much? Good god are you going to comment on his not hitting a HR every time he’s up? Your act is getting a bit tiresome.
All we needed Jarrod was a none Weaver Start(More IP then RA). Hope your regression to mean is long and painful.
Because Sosa is so obviously about trying to hit nothing but home runs every time he’s at bat.
I got your back Thom, Strikeout Sammy is mine.
Woo-hoo! I have a hot date with the Mariner Housewife … Rainiers at Beavers, June 11.
105: I don’t!
Thom Jimsen has an act?
Does it involve a feather boa?
Plus, he’s a corksucker.
105-
So what if he is? You need to comment on it every time he’s up speaks more about your mancrush on the guy that Sosa’s batting.
Uh, isn’t a housewife by definition already married?
Meant to say ‘than Sosa’s batting’
The fact that “Boone” never morphed into something more phallic than “BOOOOOOOOONE” defies all laws of probability. Like someone named “chester” never being referred to behind one’s back as “the molester” in their entire lifetime.
She is. But we’re hanging out nonetheless. I think she’s bringing her son, Brendan Ichiro.
Maybe she’s 1 of the 50% that end up divorced and is currently on her way there.
Thojim: Ha. But no, that would be more applicable if I were rooting for Saarloooooooos!
Well, A-Rod’s married, too. It doesn’t seem to inhibit his dating life.
Just to bring it back to the whole penis nickname thing.
Ooooh! Ooooh! Mr. Kata! Mr. Kata!
#107– I was thinking of ThomJim’s ‘date’ as analogous to Jim Moore going to an event with Amber the Sea Gal
Up your nose with a rubber hose, Kata!
She’s happily married and she’s utterly cool. She’s a friend with baseball benefits.
#122: I was hoping somebody other me here was alive in the Seventies.
I would like it if Ichiro punctuated his record with a home run here. Thank you.
However, I will accept that. Go Ichiro!
Ichiro singin’ “You can’t take the sky from me”
Ichiro can hit all the singles he likes.
NO GIDDYUP VIDRO NO GIDDYUP
Unlike some oversized first basemen I could name but won’t, hitting singles is actually in his job description.
125- You were right but had a typo, he got a run home, not a home run.
Ichiro gets the great jump to save himself. Brilliance.
Is there a way to find out the percentage of the time that Vidro hits a grounder to the second baseman? It seems like he does it ~50% of the time.
Once again, Ichiro demonstrates his selfishness, while Guillen shows himself to be a clubhouse leader who can shake things up.
Man-Holes!
M’s lead 7-5. Is this a rerun of last night’s game?
ian kinsler pulled a thomjim and blew the inning by not turning th DP
I wish I could watch this game, I’m nursing a flu on business travel in NYC. I should be out having fun, but I can’t, and I can’t even listen to or watch this online with spending a fortune. Argh. Thank god for this thread and gamecast. There’s crap on cable. Are the MLB online packages worthwhile for any of you who do a bit of travelling? Do you have frequent blackouts?
#134 What does that mean? I hope you are kidding
#137: I admit, at age 42, that I lack the lithe, nimble Godunov-esque grace of Julio Franco around the middle infield.
You’re just never out of it playing Texas
O’s still leading the Angels 2-1 in the middle of the 7th.
139… of course not. I’m not alone in my beliefs; local baseball experts like Jim Moore, Dave “Softy” Mahler, and New York Vinnie agree with me.
OK, you’re ahead, walk the leadoff batter on four pitches. You’re just never out of it playing the Mariners.
Can we get the rest of the Crayola Bullpen out to pitch, I don’t feel like watching a bunch of walks?
ah, there’s Mac in the dugout, dreaming it was a permanant job.
from the radio side, after discussing Boonie driving the kids to games & golfing, and while watching Millwood struggle:
Dave: when you go out to talk to a pitcher, what do you say?
BB: Sometimes it’s a pep-talk, sometimes you go in and say something rude, get their attention. With Jamie, I’d go out and say something stupid to make him laugh.
Dave: when I say Lou Piniella, what do you say?
BB: [laughs] well, I laugh first, and then I say ‘my favorite of all time’.
Any truth to the rumor that when Hargrove wants White to warm up in the pen, he calls down and says: “Bring out The Gimp”?
And now Kata brings out the limp.
Horshack’s been wanting to nail Kata for years.
Thats just a rumor? I read it on the internet so I was sure its a fact.
I have just signed on for what is, frankly, a ridiculous training ride, even by my standards, as tomorrow’s entertainment.
who else is out there tonight? Not Mr. Green, not Morrow — Jason Davis?
Ugh. This is a tragedy of errors.
Were I able, I would square-bracket the fuck outta DMZ’s post.
So …. are we having fun yet? What a situation to walk into a game at. this has 4 hours, 13-10 final score written all over it.
Was there an actual reason that they drafted (or rather, traded for) this kid other than the fact that he’s from Mercer Island?
O’Face should be fine to throw.
155… he’s also white.
gosh, remember a week ago when Sean gave up 7 runs to Tampa?
I have just signed on for what is, frankly, a ridiculous training ride, even by my standards, as tomorrow’s entertainment.
Where’re you riding? And how much longer is it than a typical ride for you?
oh, I forgot about EOF.
How long, O Cataline, must we endure this inning!
For a beautiful coat of frosting on this delightful cake, the Angels are now leading the O’s 3-2.
ummm. frosting.
Time to send White on a one way ticket to PCL.
Nice, agingfan. I had to look that one up.
For the love of Christ why does it take this long to have an arm ready in the bullpen!!!!
#144: “Local baseball experts like Jim Moore, Dave ‘Softy’ Mahler, and New York Vinnie agree with me.”
So, wait, is this good or bad?
White, give Mr. Beltre half of your league minimum salary for saving your ass that inning.
Why would square bracket my post? I don’t understand.
Ooooh, an excavator! I’ve always wanted one!
Tomorrow is DeathRide 2007, in which I will, more or less, get on my bike and go up and over one of the passes, and then come on back.
It’s not the miles, it’s the elevation gain.
I’d take a Lifesaver. I like those stripy peppermint ones.
Goodbye Mendoza line, Richie
I don’t even like to do that in my car.
Yeah, that jerk Piniella, the one that gave us that 116 win season!
Man, this is just horrible, horrible defense.
huh?
oops, not ‘huh?’ to the defense. That is self-evident. I was a tad baffled by #175.
DMZ: off-topic!
HEY. Criticizing DMZ just got me in the moderation queue!
178… oh, just commenting on FSN’s tendency to air all of Lou’s rants, with smarmy commentary.
Free Lauren!
Token chicks should never be put into a moderation queue.
argh. not even one run.
Dear Lopez, please homer so I can go to sleep, I have to get up in five hours. You’re gonna get some pitches to hit with Ichi on deck.
It what now?
Oh.
ah, over on the radio side, Dave was watching the visuals and chuckling fondly.
DMZ: I tried to accusatorily post that you were off-topic, but was deee-nied.
Mommy, why is the bad man still pitching?
Ah. You see, certain words and phrases… like card games, for instance, get the comment held.
It’s not about you at all.
What is the over/under on the time for this game?
Ouch. Maybe no one’s allowed to use the o.t. words, lest they be rampantly abused.
él esta’ de asunto.
44 pitches in like 1.1 innings
Lauren is my new girlfriend.
Sorry, took me a while to post that. Couldn’t remember how to say “off” nor do I know the code for an accented a.
Can we see the O’Face please?
Wow, um, thanks, Thom. In that case, I am irrationally jealous about this outing with Mariner Housewife and forbid you to go, or something.
this is making me sick
bhsmarine, only when you’ve turned in your TPS reports.
But at least the UW Softball team won 9-0!
By all means, come along for a “triple play.” Or fourth out, since she’s bringing her baby.
I got the memo, thanks.
#201
Go Huskies!
And now for the crew team: Beat Harvard!
Dear god, I can’t believe it’s only the top of the 6th. If I had a life, I’d be PISSED.
Harvard loses simply by being from Harvard.
TOG over-under 3:57:30
This sucks, I need my rest tonight if I’m going to go on DeathRide 2007.
#205 hahahaha thats funny
Why are you subjecting yourself to hitherto unexplored realms of exquisite agony, DMZ?
O O O!
Thom, will you take me to see Paul Anka?
Well, I was imprinted on the Mariners as a child, and I’ve never been able to shake it.
Angels win.
Tony Orlando is playing in Bremerton. And Melissa Manchester.
#214: Only if you believe The Holy Bible.
I’m waiting for Air Supply to come back.
Jose Vidro…i hate you…
Only if they tour with the Little River Band.
If Ben Broussard had them play his own music for his at-bats, would that be awesome, or stupid?
Having listened to it, I don’t think it’s quite suitable, but it’s a lot better than many of the clips
Speaking of which, it’s time for a cool change.
The Broussard CD is REALLY growing on me. It’s in my regular iPod rotation for my morning workouts.
OK. This is too frustrating. Time to grab the radio, sit on the beach and watch the moon rise to gain some serenity about the whole thing. I cannot believe they have scored 7 runs and are tied. Go Ms!
Broussard makes music?
Go to http://www.benbroussard.com
But is it better than Sandfrog?
Yes
Listening to the samples now. Not my thing. But yes, better than Sandfrog.
Maybe better than Bernie Williams, depending on individual taste.
Broussard is genetically engineered for the Mountain Music Lounge.
This should be called the Immortal Game, because it’s going to go on forever.
The music’s not embarassing, which makes it better than 99% of the output of athletes who make music.
If Dan Okrent wrote “Nine Innings” about this game, the book would be bigger than the Merck Manual of medicine. Or that godawful “Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” book.
231… what about the “Super Bowl Shuffle”?
Bring in the other Sean!
Super Bowl Shuffle was AWESOME.
Waymon Tisdale’s jazz guitar stuff is pretty good.
233… The exception that proves the rule, naturally.
Broussard should be playing the Tractor. And I should be there rather than here.
It’s a “foul ball”.
It’s not a ground rule double.
Does the Cheaters Guide to Baseball cover umpires?
So Ben Broussard’s a professional baseball player who makes millions of dollars, and a handsome sensitive musician who plays pretty good mid-tempo small-sound guitar rock… were he not married with daughter, he’d have to keep his bat with him at all times to beat off the groupies. He probably still does.
Eh. Broussard’s a little mainstream for my Tractor tastes. I was there last night seeing my friends the Whisky Swillers, though.
You should buy a copy and see!
Min / Oak top of the 10th, at bat: Cirillo. Bets?
235… I was more partial to “New England, the Patriots, and Me” but then again, I’m a Pats fan.
I love the Tractor. Been a while since I got out there, though.
The Super Bowl Shuffle is classic. It’s impossible to hate.
So you’re a big Tom Brady fan then.
I miss the Ballard Backstage.
DMZ, don’t get me wrong, I’m impressed.
Tractor’s awesome, though. But I haven’t been there since seeing the Old 97s in … 2003?
This team is rolling over like a mangy mutt for the Rangers.
Thom: You know they’re playing at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July at the Gorge. I’ve never heard any of the side bands, but I’m so there for Willie.
“Willie Nelson: 18 gabillion times cooler than Willie Bloomquist”
Great. After I saw the Old 97s the first time, I had “Rollerskate Skinny” stuck in my head for, like, a month. Now it’s firmly lodged there again.
Don’t click on 246! (Except Lauren, maybe.)
“Eh. Broussard’s a little mainstream for my Tractor tastes. I was there last night seeing my friends the Whisky Swillers, though.”
I agree, actually, but you know, not every night is Neko Case or Jesse Sykes or whatever your taste is. I mean, Steven Segal’s Blues Band played there in the last year. There’s room for Ben!
The Ballard Backstage rocked.
I spell Sexson with seven ‘X’s.
Regression to the mean is a beautiful thing.
FUNK BLAST!
feel the funk!!1
/continues lurking
BIG SEXYYYYYY!!!!!!!
…and Richie finally crosses into Mendoza territory
Is this game a murder or a heart attack?
I would wager a guess that this Ranger reliever does not have his best stuff tonight.
Okay, now the Sexson Funk Experience is headlining. Sorry, Ben.
HOLY CRAP
robbed.
That was almost as Sexy as the Tom Brady video that I am NOT watching over and over…
That was a Cammy-quality play.
There’s still life in the old man ….
Richie temporarily back in our good graces….
Holy shit.
The people in the beer garden fell asleep. COME ON GUYS!
261… more like leprosy.
Wow. Vintage Lofton.
All those fans right there and none of them can pull a Jeffrey Meier?
I’m going to go whip up some pasta. I fully expect when I return, I’ll see the game has started to run backwards and it’s 12-9 headed into the 2nd inning.
ESPN is playing their Top 10 right now, they might have to redo it after that catch.
274… Bizarro game! Felix catches sliders, Kenji throws the ball, Willie Bloomquist is a good baseball player.
I think I’ll fly home for the ninth.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Kenny Lofton…i hate you…
Sean White and Sean Green have to be the same person.
What’s happening? Should I go to sleep? I mean, I know I should go to sleep. Never mind, I’m going to sleep. Maybe.
well, I came back, and I see I pretty much just missed more agony.
lordy, the Backstage. I think the last time I was there was Jonathan Richman …
If we end up losing this thing I am going to be beyond pissed.
My last Backstage concert, in 1996, was Warren Zevon. With Chris Whitley opening.
I may be the last person still living from that night.
WWWWWIIIIIILLLLLIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Good news just keeps on coming…
Beltre for Bloomquist….that’s a fair trade.
I belong to the gym that once was the backstage. It’s a weird feeling sometimes remembering that I once watched the Fall right from where I was walk the treadmill, or that I once saw Jonathan Richman signing and dancing right where the free weights are.
something that makes me happier than a Beltre injury, or more crap pitching — an appreciation of Edgar by Gregg Bell.
Eighteenth of April in seventy-five, hardly a man is now alive…
Why was Green in to start the inning, if we were going to bring in Sherrill anyway?
Green is not a legit reliever you want in the game anywhere near the late innings.
Makes no sense and likely will cause the game winning run to score eventually.
If this game ends in a balk, someone is going to pay.
Kenny Lofton, you’re a dick.
Kenny, I just want you to know… I always hated you. I always hated you the most.
On cue, Green’s potentially game losing run comes in to score.
Do they have a crappy minor league caliber reliver THEY’LL throw at us in the 8th?
Yeah, I hear when he was reaching up into the stands he was yelling “Mine! Mine!”
#290: Lauren, you are so my girlfriend.
batting 5th, designated hitter raul ibanez
Batting 5th, designated hitter raul ibanez
Batting 5th, designated hitter raul ibanez
if you say it enough, it might come true
As pissed as I am at Kenny right now, I just won $20 off him because my dad claimed Sims got it wrong and Kenny went to Arizona State. Nope.
I bet Kenny could STILL play in the NBA.
I can hardly wait for the day my doting boyfriend drapes me in the finest of Mariners-themed bling.
Yes Yuni that was a horrible pitch to swing at, 84 mph Flat FB up and in the middle of the plate for a strike.
#301– and maybe some of those sweet Alyssa Milano sporting togs ….
Since I’m going to Portland, I’ll bring you a Beaver pelt: “Bring me the head of Paul McAnulty” ….
#303: I just sprayed Dr Pepper all over my screen on that one.
301… how about some comfortable but warm fleece?
Speaking of the NBA: I was going through the police blotter today at work and two guys from Everett got into an argument over which NBA player was best. The fight ended when one man kneed, pushed and punched the other one to the point that the guy ended up in the hospital. And these were 30-year-old men.
Why did no one tell me that the next season of Battlestar Galactica will be the last?
307 reminds me of…
“Lord Palmerston!”
“Pitt the Elder”
“LORD PALMERSTON!” [punch]
…kenny…lofton…wwwwWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYyyyy!!!!!!!!!!…
You know the game’s over when Davis is called into the game.
“All right Boggs, you asked for it!”
or, in the words of another sage:
“agony, oh, agggohhhneeeeee”
Hargrove still hasn’t figured out that it is impossible to have a save situation here to save Putz for.
311, well, what choice did we have? We were all out of Seans.
If anybody keeps records of games with the most walks+singles, this game has to be right up there.
Speaking of the Backstage, what about that place that used to be under the monorail on 5th, up around Wall or Battery (I think there’s a spa or something in the space now). I’m blanking on the name.
#313– Hargrove is on a plane to Cleveland.
I wonder if Hargrove even cares about whats going on with the M’s as he is currently heading to Clevland.
Euugh. The only thing worse than that Alyssa Milano shirt is the Yankees logo all over it.

speaking of Cleveland, Jason Davis is still wearing his Indians hat in the Yahoo Scoreboard picture.
Joh just take it in the huevos?
Beltre has a sprained left thumb
One wonders how we went without Ichiro in center for so long after Cameron left.
314-Throw a Jose in there, we got plenty of those, actually Guillen would probably hit someone, Vidro wouldn’t even get the ball anywhere near the plate, and Lopez…would…not be stupid enough to try and pitch.
-Well I guess if Weaver’s been given a chance to suck, so can Davis. WTF was that Davis..trying to take out a fan booing you.
Jason “Wild Thing” Vaughn ….
so, Alyssa serial-dated three ballplayers? is that right? That qualifies her to decide what women should wear to a ballgame?
oh, wait, she also blogs.
Now that’s what I call getting in someone’s kitchen
Davis…97…must have been a mistake
If Milano was wearing any more makeup in those photos, she’d be Tammy Faye Baker.
enazario: 63-99, 69-93, 78-84.
Oooooh, a Yankees Baseball LCD TV!

Just what I always^H^H^H^H^H^Hnever wanted!
can you believe alyssa is like 42? id still totally hit that.
Please, Gag Gagne, Please
I’d hit it everyday of the week and twice on Sundays…
So they have LCD TVs for other teams:
White Sox
Cubs
Red Sox
Mets
Giants
Pittsburgh Pirates
Dude, I’m not arguing with the fact that she’s hot, but you’d get it on with a woman who wears THAT? Sickos.
I have fond memories of Gagne getting hit around at Safeco, back when he still started …
329: Huh?
331 – She can’t be that old. Tony Danza’s like 55
331… under all that makeup, she probably looks more wrinkled than the “where’s the beef?” woman.
Alyssa is not 42.
of course, Alyssa is really a lifelong Dodger fan, and is possibly stalking Russell Martin.
Broussard prove your worth, hit a 2 run homer
Ellison has been sitting a lot longer than the 3 1/2 hours Sims just claimed.
She is 34.
Born: December 19, 1972 per Wikipedia.
I wonder if Alyssa is still mad that DePodesta traded away Lo Duca.
so i was off by 8 years… sue me! lol
She will look the same at 42.
Ibanez, prove your worth, hit a 2 run homer
Thats 8 fewer years of drinking and partying. Makes a huge difference.
here comes #2…
Gagne looks like the guy who asked me for bus money in Pioneer Square last week.
RRRRIIIIICCCCCHHHHIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!………..
Pheeeeew.
Sexson, prove your worth, hit a 2 run homer.
Figured I would give it a shot.
cool. The Winner of the Grand Prize will receive the following: two (2) tickets to two (2) 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers regular season home games to be determined by MLBAM in its sole discretion (the “Games”), hotel room for three (3) nights (standard double occupancy) and the opportunity, subject to availability, to meet Alyssa Milano at one (1) of the Games (collectively, the “Grand Prize”).
Richie….I don’t know whether to feel excitement or dread.
Dude, in Hollywood 8 years is the difference between this and this.
Who do you meet if you win second place?
355 – I was just about to right that
We are not good at this game sometimes.
Kenny Lofton…your on my list now…i hate you…
crap.
and Texas left 17 men on base.
358 – that made me laugh and not feel so bad being disappointed a moment later by the all-too-common Richie K.
Four hours down the drain…
And the same episode of “House” I’ve seen 15 times before.
I guess it’s time to hit the bar hard and drink away the sorrow of how Kenny Lofton ruined my night.
What a nutso game. By my count the win probability changed hands at least 12 times.
362 – I agree. Kenny Lofton is On Notice…and if he was already On Notice for some of you, then you can freely transfer him to “Dead To Me.”
My list so far this year
-Gary Matthews Jr.
-Felix Rodriguez
-Actually all the Angels and that stupid Rally Monkey
-All the Yankees
-Kenny Lofton
-Jose Vidro
“Y’know, I’ve learned the value of patience, I’ve learned how to just take things one step at a time … one grasping, desperate, step at a time.”
For the second time this week, I must ask. . .
How painful is it to be a Mariners fan?
