Saturday Mariner baseball

Spring training! Viewable on your PC while outside it rains/snows/sleets.
The game will feature Gaby Hernandez, who looks in his picture on the M’s home page like the photographer just surprised him at 2am leaving, in full uniform, out of an Arizona strip club. But yeah, it’s supposedly on MLB TV and freeeeee.
I do believe Roy Halladay is from Colorado.
I was referencing Aumont
JJ on to close. Gave up back-to-back doubles and now it’s all on Jason Bay’s shoulders. 3-2 pitch and Victorino catches a can of corn. USA! USA!
Oh, my bad.
“(Aumont is the) Canadian Roy Halladay”?
It might be a bit early for that, though we might want to start dreaming up nicknames for le jeune tombeur… La Bête? Le Daguet?
Man, my highschool french has gone into le bidet.
That may reflect instructions / requests from the M’s regarding pitch counts / total innings (especially this early in the year).
I don’t suppose they could purposely ask to have Silva’s arm blown out before he even shows up to camp, but a man can hope.
Silva has potential to be better this year (in better shape plus regression to the mean) though I don’t expect him to be what he was in Minnesota. And he has no chance of being worth his contract, of course. But I’d rather have him taking up a roster spot than Batista.
I raced out at 7:30 this morning to get all my running around done, because I thought the heavy wet snow/rain mix, which completely blocked my back window, was the storm moving in early.
and now the sun is shining
2-out, 2-run homer by Bryan LaHair in the bottom of the ninth to put the M’s up, 8-7.
Messenger a no-nonsense three flyball out ninth inning.
Nice finish to a boring game! Nice to see a Balentien blast today on the grainy MLB TV feed! Felt like I was actually there! 😉
Great to see Aumont do well in a semi-spotlight. Speaking of nicknames, perhaps “The Mountain”, drawing from his 6-7ness and his last name…just a thought.
You figure someone would have told Dave O’Brien by now that Endy Chavez no longer plays for the Mets.
