Game 19, Mariners at Angels

I spent my day plumbing, and fully intend to set myself down on the couch with some kind of refreshing beverage and relax. I hate plumbing.
Washburn v Santana. 6:05.

multi taleted bloggers. Got to respect that. Go offense.
DMZ just blogs on the side to pay for his plumbing hobby.
Man, it’s bad enough trying to keep track of timezones, but then they go and change the start times for the same timezone. I need a pocket schedule. And a watch. And a clue.
Changes in the Angels lineup.
3B Chone Figgins
CF Gary Matthews Jr.
RF Vladimir Guerrero
DH Torii Hunter
LF Juan Rivera
1B Robb Quinlan
C Jeff Mathis
2B Sean Rodriguez
SS Erick Aybar
P Ervin Santana
Looks like they’re going to ease up on us by putting Hunter at DH. Although Sarge Jr. can scale just as well.
I so hate plumbing. Seriously. Haaaaaaaaaaate.
Now you know why Plumbers make so much an hour, because so many things can go horribly bad when we do it.
But if you could unclog the mental pipes of the Mariner braintrust would you again don the plumbers crack for the good of us all?
And does anyone know Rivera’s contract status?
Go M’s!
Wait, I thought Burke only played on Sundays?
I’m a little surprised Norton is batting in front of Sexson, followed by our good friend Wilkerson
Washburn probably demanded Burke catch for him.
Yeah, I’m || this far from fixing the stuff I’m good at (running copper pipe) and then calling in experts to do the stuff I’m not at all good at.
I wonder if the two managers got together before the game and agreed to push their B-teams out.
r0ry, I wondered the same thing. Kenji’s been taking it from pitchers this season. I’m taking it all with a grain of salt unless the King starts bitching in the paper.

So where’s Bloomquist?
NORRRRRRRTON!
In Bakersfield and the Direct TV Extra Innings is blocked out, as usual, for the Ms and Angels…what the hell is happening?
Come on Brad, I wrote a really nice entry for you in my last Baseball Prospectus… return the favor, why doncha?
The commentator just referred to himself in the third person. Hudler is awful.

some good plumbing discussions….
Ah, so close yet so far. Wilky’s gotta turn it on soon… right?
OK, I just figured out the ordering of the games at Fangraphs. It always seemed arbitrary to me, other than Seattle seemed to be at the bottom an awful lot. I just realized (seeing the M’s game at the top of list for once) that it’s alphabetical according to the city name of the home team for each game (and the Angels are Anaheim, of course, so their home games come first). Right, I’m sure I’m late to the party and that was obvious to everyone else. But I feel better now.
That was a long run for Raul.
hmmm…see my comment in yesterday’s game thread about just walking Hunter.
I swear Hunter is Edgar Jr out there
Hudler almost makes Walton sound good.
Well, Wilkerson isn’t measuring up to Corey Patterson. So far. Then again, Asdrubal Cabrera isn’t measuring up to either Lopez or Betancourt. So far. The baseball gods giveth and they also taketh away….
I really like Torii Hunter; I just wish I could root for him, but he’s always on the wrong side.
Why doesn’t Hunter just go to the NL so we can root for him in peace…
That was a nice catch by Richie.
He sure made it look awkward though…
I know you guys have probably debated this before, but wouldn’t Tim Lincecum look good in a M’s uniform. I know it’s easy to say now, but Morrow was picked instead of him. I guess I wonder if Brandon will ever be a starter?
Brandon was being groomed to start this year, but he got hurt. With the right rehab and attitude he’ll start in a year or two (Batista is by no means a long-term solution…maybe next year that spot is Morrow’s).
Talk about looking awkward…
Lincecum today 7 innings, 5 K’s, 1.57, 3-0.
I went and traded for Lincecum in my MLB 2K8 franchise today!
Four balls Wash.
Oh, but that’s better. Nice job Mr. Washburn!
LOL, Ichiro! doesn’t let Wilk catch anything!
good thing I’m drinking today. Ahhhhh
Don’t start wondering what could have been with Lincecum on the Mariners. It will drive you crazy to compare who the M’s picked over who they could have picked. (Jeff Clement – meet the Ryans: Zimmerman and Braun,Troy Tulowitzki, Jay Bruce).
oh and DMZ… as long as you are drinking while watching baseball.

This game is evil and is rigged so that you can not possibly escape a 9 inning game under 10 beers. I recommend something light.
A lot of people think Lincecum is going to break down. The conventional wisdom doesn’t like his mechanics.
I think he’s going to be the whitebread Pedro Martinez — he’ll sit out some time on the DL eventually, but wouldn’t you still take that trade-off?
If you’re in a situation where light beer is the recommendation, you’re in the wrong situation.
Joser – try drinking about 11 beers worth of shots while using a stout.
How long does it take bottled beer to properly cool to optimal temperature in a refrigerator?
That Aybar single would be worth 3 shots of beer. Also, the full count would have been another 3.
Someone tell Wilkerson to aim at the plate.
How stupid is that to make that throw to home? Twice? Sheesh.
Couple hours… try the freezer. Just keep your eye on it. Also, don’t look while Washburn is pitching. Bad for your health. This is getting sickening
A long time actually Paul something like 35 minutes…They actually did it on Mythbusters…The quickest way to cool a beer is with a fire extinquisher…But for a conventional way it’s in a cooler filled with ice and salt water…
Can we give Wilkerson an error for letting the batter advance on such a lame throw? Twice in a row?
A lot of people think Lincecum is going to break down. The conventional wisdom doesn’t like his mechanics. He is a freak, doesn’t even ice his arm after he pitches. His delivery has been the same since LL.
I just yelled, “Did Kenji tell you to throw another bad pitch, Washburn? Oh, that’s right, he’s on the bench.”
My dad’s reply: “I bet Richie’s happy you’re on someone’s case right now.”
Not that I’m obssesive or anything.
Steve Phillips is right. This is the best defense in the American League. As long as we mean the American League West. And of course by AL West we are referring to teams in the AL West residing north of the Bay Area. Is this Mariners team better defensively than Texas?
drink one warm…while the others are in the fridge, when you’re done the others will be cool enough
abender20… excellent! Then I can now partake of Trader Joes’ Dunkelweizen. A nice (but not overly) malty flavor, good change from my usual choices of hefeweizen or witbiers.
Guiness + Smithwicks = Black and tan = delicious
I’m sorry joser, I took your quote and didn’t transfer it correctly.
Wilkerson got a hold of that one.
the Angels color guy has the Bill Walton “woooow” style of commentating. Same style voice too.
How long does it take bottled beer to properly cool to optimal temperature in a refrigerator?
A half hour or more, maybe 45 minutes. Of course, this assumes you’re drinking something other than swill, and you want to actually taste the beer. If you’re referring to “beer” as in Miller Genuine Draft, stick it in the freezer and let it explode.
This beer still will not wash away the aftertaste of this boring game.
Beltre’s not a player he just crushes a lot
beltre! oh and i started ervin for my fantasy team so um… i guess i’m gonna be banned from USSM real soon
would they notice?
If the game was based on who did best in the 7th, we’d be the winner!
Tough to regress to the mean with all these nice catches.
And Wilkerson is still taking off his glove
Can you imagine the fear in the opponents dugout when we bring out Turbo in a pinch hitting situation? They’ve got to be shaking in them shoes!
Time for another “Professional” Turbo hit…
I can’t believe I agree with Hudler.
What did Hudler say?
What did “Hud” have to say?
That Vidro would be better suited hitting in the NL next year.
That Vidro would be better hitting on the moon next year.
ouch…
Kenji is hitting the “high” note … who’s the emergency catcher? WFB?
76… that’d be an AYE.
“Ask me how good my fastball is in McCall, Idaho”
Didn’t Miquel Olivo have like eight kids? Amazing that a catcher could have so many kids…
