Hey Karen

The M’s did wind up flipping Joey to the Indians for a young David Bell about 45 minutes before Joey retired, so it didn’t turn out all badly.

We’re only a half game behind the Nationals now.

I think we’re trying to lose. I hope we are trying to lose.

#93 It’s bad enough that it makes you wonder who’s pulling the strings in this bad management. It’s like having Will Farrell manage your baseball team.

Someone in the M’s heirarchy who knows nothing about managing a baseball team to win must be doing this, like the little girl who cried to her minority-owner papa years ago that she didn’t want to lose Joey Cora, and so the Mariners hung on to him one year too long…

It’d be pretty crazy if they did tie the record for the worst recod ever. Then we’d have the record on both ends of the spectrum.

And then, within the same decade as well -- which would be both ironic and sad!

Most baffling to me tonight is that Riggleman managed to empty the bullpen so quickly. Batista got him to the sixth, which is as good as it is unusual for Batista. Then Riggleman managed to use four pitchers to get the next five outs. It’s as well they lost when they did, becuase Lowe was the last man standing.

That’s the sort of jitterbug management that causes a game to last over 3.5 hours, and gives baseball a bad name for being boring.

And, gee when ya think about it, the M’s can’t even suck in a fun way. With only 60 games left to play, they’d have to go 5-55 to tie the ‘03 Tigers for the worst mark in modern AL history. And if I know these guys, they’ll probably find a way to accidentally win that sixth game so that they couldn’t even get in the record books for losing.

In your face San Diego!

What’s the M’s record for earliest date in the season eliminated from contention?
