Game 43, Padres at Mariners
What’s the use of holding out a work-sore hand to catch some when it turns up empty— what? Sorry, I was listening to something while thinking of Wlad. Oh, hey, lineups are out.
Are you ready for BATTLE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN BASEBALL?
Offense:
Seattle: 11/14 in the AL in batting average, 14/14 in OBP, 9/14 in SLG
San Diego: 16/16 in the NL in AVG, 16/16 in OBP, 16/16 in SLG
Pitching with some defense
Seattle: 6/14 in K/9. 10/14 in AVG allowed, 12/14 in OBP allowed, 10/14 in SLG allowed
San Diego: 9/16 in K/9. 6/16 in AVG allowed, 5/16 in OBP allowed, 7/16 in SLG allowed
Defensive efficiency:
Seattle: 28/30. SD: 18/30
I can feel the excitement.
Young versus Batista!
Now watch, just to spite me, this’ll be a thrilling, defense-dominated low-scoring duel with both pitchers going a full nine innings before Ichiro wins the game in the ninth when he singles and then steals three bases on three pitches.
Sexson’s back, yayyy– wait, uhh…

Does Yuni have a new look with the socks, or did he change when I was listening to games on the radio?
You know, we’re at a critical point in the game and FSN decides that now is the best time to give out rally fries? It just makes me sick. We want to see the game, not people begging for food.
152 – couldn’t agree with you more
149 – It is time for me to go out and get hammered. J-bombs for the jive tribe.
120: Replace fractiousness with ‘attitude problems’, I suspect that remedies any misconstuction. Poor diction on my part.
Seriously, a fishing trip? Is my sarcasmdar tango uniform, or is Jarrod seriously going to inspect Kenji’s tackle?
We may have been hosed on that one…
jagerbombs for everyone!!!
Yep…think it’s time to go watch the rest of this at the bar.
Holy cow some defense…or bad base running, either way, benefit much!
Balentien and he switched to the socks somewhere in the Texas series. Last game? And they won, so of course he’ll stick with them.
I always thought he was going to trip over those long pants anyway.
The Wave should be banned.
Um Kenji sort of didn’t catch that?
Whai… wha?
Shouldn’t you burn your best pinch-runner for the TYING or GO-HEAD runner?
Juneau-thanks. I’m a big fan of the socks look, and not a fan of the pants three inches too long.
Well, only four walks given up tonight!
Jesus, how many times can you say it could have been worse? I think I’m already done with that phrase, and it’s only May. I had my hopes pinned on beating Texas and San Diego. Maybe tomorrow…. At least we’ll have the better pitchers the next two days.
