Comments on: Game 140, Yankees at Mariners http://ussmariner.com/2008/09/05/game-140-yankees-at-mariners/ Seattle Mariners and general baseball discussion with David Cameron and Derek Zumsteg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:45:30 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: joser http://ussmariner.com/2008/09/05/game-140-yankees-at-mariners/comment-page-4/#comment-299674 joser Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:04:14 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=6011#comment-299674 Way to put words in people's mouths, slurve. What a few people said was that <b><i>if</i></b> the organization insisted on keeping him in the bullpen -- which certainly seemed to be the case both last year and this, despite all their claims prior to each season -- the best (highest-value use) we could hope for would be to turn him into a closer and trade JJ. That was making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, not wishing to be handed porcine pinnas. Way to put words in people’s mouths, slurve.

Tomorrow, I eagerly anticipate, will show the Yank's playoff odds to near nil. I believe the Red Sox and Twins won tonight.
