Silva v. Duchscherer.
One of those two was last year’s free agent sweepstakes winner.

Silva 71 pitches through 6, not bad.
Now if we only had some offense…
Oh here come Vidro to lead it off…
Sims sez, boy did he fool Cairo…

It will be interesting how much higher the Oakland pitcher’s era will rise in their new stadium and without the benefit of acres of foul ball territory. They can’t pay $50 million for payroll, but they can fund a $500 million dollar new stadium. http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/oak/ballpark/new/index.jsp

Professional hitter Vidro looked real bad swinging at that pitch a foot off the plate. Why is this guy eating our at-bats? Can’t we just let him stay in the clubhouse and eat the buffet instead?
Do they ever have fireworks at McAfee after a game? That would be pretty cool.
Yes. I can’t speak for recently, but I caught a game there two years ago (I know. That’s a long time.) and they had a spectacular fireworks show after the game. So, they have had fireworks before.

Yes, and in years past the fireworks shows would always seem to coincide with one of Mark Mulder’s ultra-efficient complete games. If I’m not mistaken, this game was on fireworks night, but the 1:49 game time meant that it wasn’t dark enough to do the show directly after the game. They actually had to wait a half hour or forty-five minutes after the game ended to do the show!

In regard to the (way) earlier question about Yuni not starting tonight (11), I got the impression from Shannon’s blog yesterday that Betancourt is in the doghouse, and this might be a form of “correction”. Maybe until he learns to swing so clumsily that his batting helmet slips down over his face, ala Turbo…
That sounds right. It’s never been the Mariners Way to punish the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth thing wrong with this club.
If Willie makes it to one of these hallowed records, I’m going to open one of my SP Lagers to toast him. I’ll probably pour it down the drain shortly after, but the honor is still there.

49 & 50
you sound surprised.
How long until Vidro’s option vests?
Help Refuel America!

Wiki caught and pitched in the same game?
Bottom of the ninth – if somebody can just get on then Vidro will be able to disappoint us yet again.
Ha! Just had a random thought: Silva running wind sprints…arms and cylindrical torso flailing…
Ouch
well at least theres some positive to this game, our bullpen is getting some rest…
that wasn’t an XBH there willie boom-boom…..
Was this the shortest game of the year? I don’t remember anything under two hours.
One thing about this game: it was over before 9.
That was just a pathetic performance by the Mariner’s hitters. Sad and pathetic. Duchscherer is good but not that good.
I’m starting to think our baseball team is kind of crappy.
