Game 87, Tigers at Mariners

DMZ · July 5, 2008 at 6:10 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

Galarraga v Dickey.

I have to admit that when I first saw this matchup on the probable pitcher listing I wondered for just an instant if Andres Galarraga had made yet another comeback, this time as a pitcher. The Big Cat would only be 47, after all.

And remember, you can keep America rolling!

    “Morrow Time?” That doesn’t even make sense.

  2. gwangung on July 5th, 2008 9:47 pm

    I think Clement is making definite progress in terms of coming out of his slump. haha…

    I thought his M.O was to start off slowly in each league he entered…

  3. profmac on July 5th, 2008 9:49 pm

    Is it bad that with each win I am kissing that number one draft pick next year goodbye…

  4. bratman on July 5th, 2008 9:49 pm

    151 – must have been something sims came up with.

  5. killer_ewok18 on July 5th, 2008 9:50 pm

    Now imagine that… times six. Yeah… he needs to start.

  6. apunetid on July 5th, 2008 9:50 pm

    M’s win!!!

  7. praetor on July 5th, 2008 9:50 pm

    chachacha

    Games like this are why I keep watching.

    Niehaus: “The Mariners come from behind…just like the good old days.”

    Indeed! 🙂

  10. BillyJive on July 5th, 2008 9:51 pm

    NIce!! M’s win!!
    Is it just me or has this been happening a lot lately?

  11. Go Felix on July 5th, 2008 9:52 pm

    It feels good!

  12. Swungonandbelted on July 5th, 2008 9:53 pm

    153: Yep, one of my biggest fears is that the M’s rip off a string of 22 of 30, and not only lose the top draft pick, but end up making Pelekoudas and Riggleman permanent in their positions instead of caretakers….

  13. bratman on July 5th, 2008 9:53 pm

    Clement is going to be GOOD

  14. Breadbaker on July 5th, 2008 9:55 pm

    “Morrow Time?” That doesn’t even make sense.

    How about “To-Morrow”?

  15. Paul L on July 5th, 2008 10:01 pm

    OMG – Bedard speaks!

  16. Swungonandbelted on July 5th, 2008 10:03 pm

    165: Lies! what did he have to say?

  17. killer_ewok18 on July 5th, 2008 10:03 pm

    Like, “See you to-Morrow!”

  18. Paul L on July 5th, 2008 10:08 pm

    Fox Sports is doing an exclusive interview with him tomorrow.

    I was in too much shock to get the rest of it.

    besides the obvious few

    OK. Let us not get carried away here. One one run game doesn’t a good team make. The Ms have 40% of a starting rotation, 33% of a defense/lineup, 0% of a bench and a decent pen. But otherwise they are great.

  20. jephdood on July 5th, 2008 10:17 pm

    Nice win.

    But..

    Is the fact that we ARE now winning the main reason Lee Pelekoudas and Co. continue to tolerate Vidro and Sexson’s horribleness?

    ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.. so to speak?

  21. joser on July 5th, 2008 10:18 pm

    Second-round draft pick Dennis Raben, who signed with Seattle earlier this week, homered in his first professional at-bat on Friday night with Class-A Everett

  22. gwangung on July 5th, 2008 10:23 pm

    s the fact that we ARE now winning the main reason Lee Pelekoudas and Co. continue to tolerate Vidro and Sexson’s horribleness?

    Correlation IS causation for this crew.

    *sigh*

  23. profmac on July 5th, 2008 10:27 pm

    Would it be so bad if Riggleman was the manager on more of a permenant basis?

  24. gwangung on July 5th, 2008 10:31 pm

    Would it be so bad if Riggleman was the manager on more of a permenant basis?

    Not nearly as bad as if they kept Pelekoudas on….I am halfway convinced that he’s part of the problem (though not as much as Armstrong and Lincoln)….More to the point, he probably wouldn’t buck them if Howchuck started messing with baseball decisions…

  25. kelly on July 5th, 2008 11:02 pm

    Jeff Clement: Drafted by Bill Bavasi ™.

    Just thought I’d share.

    (and I too thought the Big Cat was back when I first tuned in…)

  26. msb on July 5th, 2008 11:11 pm

    No. But then again, where are our chemistry pre-game reports?

    well, postgame, RA Dickey said the Clubhouse Chemistry was real good right now, what with the winning.

    Fox Sports is doing an exclusive interview with him tomorrow. I was in too much shock to get the rest of it.

    the little bit I saw, he was cheerfuly answering the ‘who was your hero growing up’ question.

    Pat Hentgen, it turns out.

  27. scott19 on July 5th, 2008 11:31 pm

    well, postgame, RA Dickey said the Clubhouse Chemistry was real good right now, what with the winning.

    My guess is it’d have to be an improvement to the mortuary that was under McVasi.

    the little bit I saw, he was cheerfuly answering the ‘who was your hero growing up’ question.

    Pat Hentgen, it turns out.

    Considering he’s from a town not too far out of Ottawa, that’s not too surprising.

    lost my bet

  29. Paul B on July 6th, 2008 7:33 am

    Is the fact that we ARE now winning the main reason Lee Pelekoudas and Co. continue to tolerate Vidro and Sexson’s horribleness?

    Fun fact for the day:

    Vidro’s OPS is now lower than Cairo’s.

    In one of the interviews, of RRS, I think, I thought I heard the heresy of: “There’s better communication between the players and the coaches now…”

    Hm. Interesting. Remember the criticism of those two unnamed coaches after the Bavasi/McLaren cleaning-out, about the pitchers being more (hm, is the word “dedicated” accurate enough?) interested in winning than the hitters on this team?

    Yeah, read it in the newspapers, hitters, that’s how your coaches communicate with you.

    One hopes that the level of communication on this Mariners team has progressed beyond that in the past 2 weeks.

  31. msb on July 6th, 2008 8:26 am

    several of the players have commented on the improved communication, which is interesting as Mac was the conduit for player communication in his bench coach days …

  32. cody on July 6th, 2008 9:00 am

    This is bad…
    We are now two games behind the Nationals in the race for last place.
    (Well, 2 games ahead really, but you gert mt point.)
    Can you imagine this rotation?
    Felix
    Strasburg
    Morrow
    Aumont
    some other guy

    The future is bright.

  33. cody on July 6th, 2008 9:01 am

    okay, that one sentence should be
    Well, 2 games ahead really, but you get my point.

    i heart USS mariner.
