288: Given the FO’s policy of acquiring only players deemed to be “family friendly,” that Reyes story may be a blessing in disguise — i.e. one less potential Gas Can candidate for the stretch drive.

Morse is going to do a good job this weekend, if McLaren actually plays him. One hopes, however, that Balentien assumes the RF position sooner than later.

Balentien is off to a strange start at Tacoma, posting a .000 OPS (0-6) against lefties, but .946 OPS against righties.

Sorry, Leone was playing for the Giant’s team, Fresno-not Tacoma. Just clarification.

I was at last night’s Tacoma game, too. Not only was Mateo there, but Justin Leone was in center field. I didn’t know he could play there; he should have been there for the M’s instead of Randy Winn in 04. “Sigh”

Seriously, 5 innings of struggles and a guy needs to pitch in Tacoma? What is wrong with you guys?

geez, Dave, things need to be fixed right now! immediately! I mean, there are only 152 games left!

it could be worse, I suppose:
“Rays reliever Al Reyes was arrested early Friday morning after “falling down, picking a fight and spitting blood at the patrons of a popular Hyde Park night spot,” according to a report in the St. Petersburg Times. Reyes was celebrating his 38th birthday on Thursday following the Rays’ 7-0 win, their first victory in the past five games.”

Nice to see Adam Jones on ESPN’s top plays (#6.) What an awesome diving catch.

In other words, a1

you know, I don’t think the e-mails ever went out to the rest of the division, the ones telling them that they were all going to struggle this season …

A lot off people here still back EOF because they feel he has the skill set. Maybe true, but those skills are failing him. He is young and his mental side of the game is stopping him from using his skills. He is not ready at this point to see any more big league hitters. He has taken enough beat downs and can aford no more set backs. EOF needs to pitch in Tacoma a while where his brain will not get in the way of us winning.

Just for the record, I was not passing any kind of judgement on that scene from Say Anything. I know there are a lot of other scenes much better than that one, but it is still incredibly famous. As evidenced by it being used repeatedly in all kinds of spoofs, and most people knowing instantly exactly what scene it is being spoofed/homaged. i.e. my Family Guy reference.

I really don’t want anything to happen to Johjima. He needs to break out of this slump because 1- Clement is not ready to be an every day catcher at the MLB level, 2- Burke (while awesome) should not be starting every day either, 3- Joh was the first Mariner who’s jersey I ever bought so I have an irrational love for him.

Come on Joh! We know you can hit, prove it!
