Not much to do over the 2 weeks except watch Ichiro!.

Ho-Hum.

Be careful what you wish for. Instead of cutting someone useless (Vidro, Cairo) they would probably DFA someone like Green.

I was actually hoping that Dickey would get blown up early in the game yesterday and the M’s would have to go throgh about 4 relievers. Then they would have no choice but to cut regular Vidro and bring up someone from the minors, like what happened to Beak.

The Mariners are in last place in large part because their management is composed of people using stone age tools to compete with other tribes that have not only fire and metal, but electricity as well.

I get the mental image of the Marniner FO as that tribe in Brazil (recently in the news) brandishing spears at a helicopter.

they don’t want everyone to think they’re a bunch of nerdy guys with computers

It’s hard to shake the feeling that baseball is a sport where the foundation stone of excellence, from the playing field to the highest level of corporate management, is at least pretending to be dumber than dog doody.

7: They’ll probably take it down now. I mean, they don’t want everyone to think they’re a bunch of nerdy guys with computers…

1 – G-Man said:

I think I’m relieved. This way he can’t get in trouble by pitching gimpy and strain his arm.

Me too. Let DIZZY DEAN remain the poster boy for those declines that are caused by changing one’s delivery to compensate for an injury to another part of the body.
I’ll gladly give up a couple of FELIX starts while I wait for him to come back completely healthy.

Who’d have thought there was such a number of Broadway-Musical-lovers on this site?

Made me laugh.

Pitching staff question:

On the FSN post-game show last night, R.A. Dickey was interviewed.
He made a comment that hitters were just getting a little piece of the knuckleball, and not getting any big hits from off him.

He said “I’d be interested in knowing slugging percentage against individual pitchers. But I don’t know if they even keep a stat like that.” (”they?”)

Isn’t this stat right on the Mariners website, or am I reading the abbreviations incorrectly?
