It’s not nearly time to throw in the towel yet. The season is hardly six weeks old. I think that most of the guys we have will come out of their current slumps. The offense will come around here sooner or later. Our chances of catching the Angels(or Athletics, if the Angels fade first) are already looking bad, but the Angels currently have the 2nd best record in the game. I think that the wild card is a realistic goal right now.

I think Mateo hitting so many bats squarely helped in the decision for his dismissal. Either way, I was glad to see him go.

With Richy, it’s been more of a love/hate relationship for me. Its so frustrating to watch him struggle for so long, but it makes you feel that much better when he finally does gets a hold of one. You have to asume that the “family matters” have a tonn to do with his behavior and we have all been in situations where we might react wrong. But it did look pretty stupid.

That game was the absolute low point of my career as a Mariners fan.

It was extremely distressing to see Richie throw a tantrum and try to hit the pitcher. Can’t even begin to say how wrong that is on so many levels. It was assault, it was bad sportsmanship and most of all it was juvenile.

And on top of everything else, the pitcher didn’t even actually hit him! In fact, the pitch wasn’t even that close to his face. Richie leaned out of hte way, but he leans out of the way of almost everything, even strikes!

I really hope the league throws the book at Richie for this bush-league move. And if they don’t, then the Mariners organization should. They dumped Mateo for hitting his wife, and they should do the same now with Richie for assaulting an opponent in a way that is embarrassing for baseball.

I don’t care how frustrated they are. They need to get a grip.

Derek, my anti-fandom is a form of fandom. I want the M’s to fail so hard they’re forced to accept that they just don’t have a clue about running a baseball team, so they’ll change their approach. Right now, I’m hoping they don’t score for 81 more innings. I have selected players I want to do well, but the rest? I want Richie Sexson to strike out fifty times in a row. I want Willie Bloomquist and Miguel Cairo to collide tomorrow when they’re playing 1B (!!) and RF (!!!). Is that mean? I don’t care. I’m also rooting for Adam Jones to win the MVP and George Sherrill the Cy Young. I want them PUNISHED.

Does that sound crazy? It just reminds me of 1982, that’s all. I was crazy then, too. I had this team pegged for 78 wins, and everybody was telling me what a pessimist I was. Now I don’t know if they’ll make it.
