FELIX DAYYYYYYY!
7:05, vs Niemann.
More or less std Bloomquist II-catching lineup.
Also, from Baker, Bedard’s toast. Nice writeup here.

Saw that coming. Gotta hit the jack on your bobblehead night, man.
FSN needs to stop zooming in so close to the balls hit in the air.
Finally! Jeez, does it seem like the opposing pitcher gets 7-8 innings every night?
When everyone knows your starting pitcher only pitches 5 or 6.
Johnson up, of course.
And naturally he gets one of his damn hits!
Sweeney for Saunders??? Wak?!?!?!? Sweeney is STILL washed up, regardless of his KC home run
I figured that Sweeney was at least worth a walk. He may be old and washed up, but he’s no fool.
But he takes one for the team!
PitchFX and the umpire are having a big disagreement tonight.
Wow, some great calls here for the M’s.
Like Sweeney showing Griffey his boo-boo.
Ichiro!
Ichiro!
Ichiro!
Ichiro!
He’s the most interesting man alive.
Wak is God!
Wak is God!
Ichiro looked as though he had to put his heart back in his chest on that scamper back to first base.
Who does Maddon think he is, Casey Stengel?
Dan Wheeler is one of those guys who does not look like they’d be good at anything resembling athletics. But the beard helps.
He has an interesting glove wiggle, though
can anyone remember the last time we saw a seattle SS make a play like that? you are loved Jack…you are loved
Yep. He’s playing in Texas now.
Gutierrez with the golden sombrero.
I feel bad for Gutierrez. Has he been hitting at all since crashing into that wall?
My god, at the lanced boil obsession!
You know, when he was up 0-2, I thought, he’s going to walk him, because AA’s gotta have at least one baserunner, or his night isn’t complete.
No way Ichiro should be running here. It is so much better for Branyan for him to stay at first.
OK, OK, as long as Branyan doesn’t do that.
Oh man.
HEH. Uh, Evan, it wasn’t Ichiro running. Jr can only push his walker so fast.
Sometimes I feel that our team is like a house of cards…
I don’t believe what I just saw.
No effing way!
Some house. Some cards.
LANGERHANS!!
And Sims goes insane in disbelief!
Wow.
I can’t believe it either, Liam. I truly didn’t believe until it landed in the seats.
Okay, so, given 1000 opportunities to describe how this game would end, I don’t think I could have described it ending like that.
Freaking beautiful.
Crazy!!!
Heck, yeah, 7-6, Langerhans with a walkoff, lefty on lefty with Langerhans batting .200 vs lefties and 2 strikes on him with 2 outs!!!!! That’s why I love baseball!!! Anf Girffey homered on his bobblehead night.
How long was this damn game, anyway? I feel as though we’ve been living two lifetimes. And no one left. Good on them.
That’s quite a spike on fangraphs!
5.5 behinf Boston for the wild card!!!
They sure have had a thing for long games this week… Two three and a half hour slugfests, now this 4-hour gem. The guys have gotta be bushed about now…
Langerhans!
I will admit that I had to leave early tonight. Oh well…guess karma got the best of me…Bartlett’s HR landed exactly at my now vacated seat.
I am 5-1 this year with 4 walk-off hits!!!
Woohoo!
Holy shit, y’all! I was at a friend’s house tonight and kept drifting over to her computer to check the score(s), esp. since it was Felix Day. I kept checking during the tie and when the Rays scored at the top of the 11th almost didn’t bother to look back. Langerhans! Unreal.
I must also admit to leaving early. I was at the game and had to leave at 10:30 because of bus schedules. Oh I wish I could have stayed! [insert rant about no more shuttle buses]
Wow, what a way to end it. I didn’t think we had a chance after the TB homer in the top of the 11th. Amazing!
The atmosphere at Safeco was insane all night, especially after the Griffey HR. During Griffey at-bats, the whole stadium was singing and waving to Naughty By Nature, just like old times. When Branyan came to bat in the 7th after Ichiro’s RBI single, it was so loud that the PA announcer didn’t even announce Branyan. THAT’s how nuts it was. Probably the best atmosphere at a game I’ve been to in five years.
I Was there!! I had to fend off the complaining wife to be able to stay the whole time, and now spend the night on the couch… but i was there!!!
BEST POST EVER, PearlDrumBurn.
Must be why the thread was so dead; everyone was at the game.
Langerhans’ home run was worth 85.8% on the WE scale.
Agh. I hate living in NJ.
