    YO, ADRIAN!!!

  3. dsmiley on September 1st, 2008 7:33 pm

    Well done, Adrian! Congratulations! It has to be said:

    BELTRE’D!

    YES!

    Wow, Go Beltre go!

    Two guys hit for the cycle on the same day (Stephen Drew), both with five hits. Interesting.

    41: It is not necessary that Silva will regress to the mean in the sense you suggest. Regression to the mean when you play over your head is natural. When you play below your prior level, however, the effects of aging and the effects (particularly the case here) on your mental makeup can counteract any improvement just based on having some bad luck.

    The real question tonight: will Silva complain about how the hitters wouldn’t score enough for the starter to win? Obviously, they were just waiting for him to not get the decision to start blasting the bejesus out of the Rangers pitching.

    Will Beltre get another at bat?

  7. msb on September 1st, 2008 7:41 pm

    boy, nothing like a game in Texas to make you feel hitterish.

    did Joh get spiked, is that what I saw? and it looks as though he must still be back with Griffith, as Nodine just came out to look at Cairo …

    If I was a manager, and my pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would have some unpleasant words with that pitcher.

    This is really a Mariner hit parade, isn’t it?

    55: Well, considering that the Burger Chef managed to somehow get off the hook in this one, I guess he could probably chalk it up as a “successful” (albeit not a QUALITY) start.

    7 runs over two innings and Ichiro’s contribution has been making 3 of the 6 outs.

  11. msb on September 1st, 2008 7:46 pm

    I liked the fact that Adrian had to be told why the Ranger fans were applauding the fact that he’d hit a RBI triple 🙂

  12. G-Man on September 1st, 2008 7:47 pm

    56, yes.

    If I was a manager, and my pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would have some unpleasant words with that pitcher.

    wasn’t it two separate pitchers?

    7 runs over two innings and Ichiro’s contribution has been making 3 of the 6 outs.

    and don’t we usually hear about how Ichiro! likes to hit in Arlington?

  14. edgar for mayor on September 1st, 2008 7:50 pm

    61-

    Thats Excellent.

  15. Jim_H on September 1st, 2008 7:50 pm

    Beltre just needs a Grand Slam to go from Totally Awesome to EPIC!.

  16. Paul B on September 1st, 2008 7:52 pm

    63 – I suppose. With the Rangers, how can you tell?

    If it was two different pitchers, I’d lock them both in their lockers.

    OK, Beltre, get a 6th hit!

  17. bratman on September 1st, 2008 8:04 pm

    AB!

  18. dsmiley on September 1st, 2008 8:09 pm

    Postgame: Beltre said he didn’t know he had the cycle until the 3rd base umpire congratulated him asked if he wanted the ball. Beltre said something like “Thanks…for what?”

    HA!

  19. mironos on September 1st, 2008 8:17 pm

    5 for 6, 5 runs, 3 RBI, and the cycle. Congrats Adrian!

    Also good to see Sean Green pitch well (3 IP, 0 R) after some tough outings.

    Finally, I hope for Johjima’s sake his hand is ok…but it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he had to go on the 15 day DL…

  20. msb on September 1st, 2008 8:19 pm

    useless factoid: apparently San Diego, Tampa Bay & Florida have had no player hit for the cycle.

  21. Colm on September 1st, 2008 8:25 pm

    “If I was a manager, and my pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would have some unpleasant words with that pitcher.”

    If I was a manager and the opposing pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would give him $20 and ask him to do it again.

  22. G-Man on September 1st, 2008 8:27 pm

    Useful factoid:

    The Mariners have been mathematically eliminated from the 2008 playoffs.

  23. Marihawks on September 1st, 2008 9:11 pm

    ATTENTION!!! Im here in fort worth and just spent the last 2 hour sitting by the bull pen chatting with JJ and Roy about the season….got a ball outta of it…. if the admin wants i can write up what was said from the perspective of the bull pen.
