   Wouldn’t want Morrow to get some work in, being as he had limited ST innings and all….

   Either the ball placement on ESPN’s gamecast is off or they’ve been calling strikes low all evening.

   Wakamatsu: “We’d like to get Brandon his first save opportunity, but since we’re up 5 runs, we’re sending Batista in to sort of even things up a bit. Then we’ll send in Morrow.”

   Sims said something about Silva throwing a party for the Twins players? What, they ate a bunch of double burgers so they couldn’t hit today?

   E-5…wow, don’t see that often from Beltre. Ouch.

7. Rick L on April 6th, 2009 7:47 pm

   Batista could well have been out of this inning.

8. JerBear on April 6th, 2009 7:47 pm

   The Twins can’t hit anyway. What he said, though, was that Silva threw a party at his house for all the Mariners. He lives there.

   nice stru]ikeout! we needed that one!

10. hark on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    A win!

11. finndawg on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    nice strikeout! we needed that one!

12. Go Felix on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    WE WIN!!!!!!!

13. Paul B on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    Who is this pitcher, and what did they do with Batista? Survived an error by Beltre and a dropped foul by Lopez.

    (don’t know why my last post was doubleposted, but it was talking about double burgers…)

14. G-Man on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    They called it a hit, not E-5.

    M’s win!

15. louder on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    Nice game, just like they drew iy up.

16. smatbte51 on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    Wow if Batista can just attack the strike zone and throw his fastball and slider every night he might be alright.

17. louder on April 6th, 2009 7:48 pm

    Nice game, just like they drew it up.

18. JerBear on April 6th, 2009 7:49 pm

    Ahhh… and for the moment, everything is right with the world.

    Either the ball placement on ESPN’s gamecast is off or they’ve been calling strikes low all evening.

    Little bit of both. The ESPN Kzone thingy is always about 3-4 inches high IMO, but the ump has been calling strikes a touch lower than you normally see, at least to my eyes.

    And a (mostly) uneventful mop-up by Miggy. Surprised? Yes. Glad? HELL YES!

    May we have many more games like this. Very, very happy with the overall result.

    BREAK UP THE M’S, WE’RE UNBEATEN!!!

    Small sample size, sure…but, bite me, IT’S BASEBALL…and we’ve got something to smile about in Seattle!

    Happiness is: A Perfect Record!

    161 left to go … 🙂

    Sweet, Batista looked good with a big lead and a defense he can trust (bizarro plays notwithstanding). Great game!! Nothing to complain about tonight.

    And thanks to UNC for making the NCAA such a blowout that I didn’t miss anything over there.

23. TaeBoJackson on April 6th, 2009 7:52 pm

    1-0!

    Nice.

24. SeabassP on April 6th, 2009 7:54 pm

    Great win guys! Gotta question though, I am from Jersey, and I am using MLB.TV Platinum for the games (which worked like a charm after some issues early on) and it’s awesome, but I was wondering if there is any way I can get to see the postgame shows. Are they online or anything? Thanks for the help guys!

    Go M’s!

25. pygmalion on April 6th, 2009 7:56 pm

    Thanks also to UNC for helping to prevent Dave’s NCAA article in the WSJ a few weeks ago from being completely subject to the ridicule of MSU fans.

26. hark on April 6th, 2009 7:56 pm

    Win number 1! I’ll take it, especially if every win comes with a 5-run margin and a Griffey homerun.

    Sirius / XM carries the postgame feed of the home team for about 30 minutes, sometimes longer…

    Turned on the game tonight and the first words to come out of the speakers were: No doubt about it.

    Seriously.

    Talk about a bittersweet moment.

30. Steve T on April 6th, 2009 10:09 pm

    My happiness over this win is tempered slightly by the fact that during the seventh inning my hot water heater decided to empty its contents all over the basement. Sigh….

31. ppl on April 6th, 2009 10:09 pm

    Since last year there were people ready to throw in the towel after three games, why not wave them after one win this year.

    Since last year there were people ready to throw in the towel after three games, why not wave them after one win this year.

    Better yet, donate them to Steve T, who apparently needs them to mop up his basement.

    Talk about a bittersweet moment.

    If you think about it, the odds of that are pretty good. Kind of like betting “seven” in craps, or maybe “red” in roulette.

    No doubt about it.
