Stupid Yankees. Ian Snell’s gotta get late in the game, or it’s Batista for us.
Yankees are missing Alex tonight, which is great, because then no one has to boo and everyone not booing doesn’t have to sigh and roll their eyes.
Meanwhile, on the M’s side, Wakamatsu hates me.
RF-L Ichiro!
CF-R Gutierrez
2B-R Lopez
DH-0 Sweeney
1B-L Branyan
C-R Johjima
3B-R Hannahan
SS-R Wilson (the new one)
LF-L Saunders

Ichiro looked pissed at that fan…and he would have caught that had the stupid fan not interfered. Stay out of the way of the fielders. Let them make amazing plays.
They should’ve tossed the fan too.
Too make things worse, he cheered himself for having “caught” the ball (sticking his glove over/into Ichiro’s and then tossed the ball on the field like he was appalled by a Yankee home run.
What a flipping moron that so-called “fan” was.
This series is going just as I thought it would. After today’s drubbing, there will be two more lopsided Yankee victories (let’s say 9-3 and 8-2) and the obligatory one-run Mariner victory (let’s say 2-1).
I thought Sims said that he was wearing a Yankees cap, but it didn’t make sense that he threw the ball back. He looked as much like a drunk asshole as you can get, the way he slapped his friend’s head after his catch. Was he going to thump Ichiro on the head if he’d caught it instead?
I love when the cameraman does the lingering ID shot, which you know is to help anyone find that guy on the street later if someone would like to kick his ass.
That’s a little harsh.
I think Sims just wondered if he was a Yankee fan– he wasn’t wearing either teams gear/colors
The Mariners have only scored 3 runs in the last 34 innings, ouch.
His cap did look like a Yankees’ cap, but that could be one of the many Seattle designs too, I guess, dark blue with white lettering.
I didn’t mean to suggest *I* want to see his ass kicked; I’ve been a Giants fan where people have been killed in the Dodgers parking lot after games. I’ve just always gotten the impression that’s the intent of the long stare camera shot. Just put a white arrow over his head and be done with it.
That guy is probably one of those idiotic Red Sox Nation bandwagoners who’s always been “down with the boys from Beantown” — even though he’s from Seattle, has absolutely no ties to New England, and has never even been to Fenway Park.
In other words, he’ll be a bandwagon Cubs fan the minute they ever get around to breaking their curse.
Great game for Matsui fans.
That was disgusting. I will no longer watch the Mariners this year when Mike Sweeney is in the starting lineup, it just puts me in an awful mood.
Not to put too fine a point on it — but what do we do with Snell? Last start his performance was chalked up to “jitters”. In the post-game show, Krueger blamed this one on “mechanical problems”.
Snell’s command (4 walks) was not very good tonite, and I wasn’t particularly impressed with his stuff either. How long before he finds himself in Tacoma?
He was one of the few baserunners tonight, working a walk.
Snell?
Tacoma.
yeah, you’d missed that?
Fate has conspired to give this team and one of it’s best players a real crotch-kick of a season. The next three games will decide if the team can take it in stride as well as Adrian did.
And I hope that by some strange cosmic alignment fans in Seattle are able to watch Mr. Beltre for years to come. The toughness he showed last night is equalled only by the sadness true M’s fans felt when they learned of his injury.
Well said, mw3.
I don’t think it was his stride that he took it in.
I was thinking of the last sentence in that post…
And, damn, Beltre is one tough dude!
Finally! I’ve been waiting all night for someone to throw out a nuts joke!
Because I have too much dignity to do it myself.
Love the headline on the Mariner’s website:
“Mariners to meet dinged-up Yankees”
A quote:
“While the Mariners are reasonably healthy going into the series, the Yankees are less than 100 percent.”
Ugh.
One positive note about tonight’s game…on the post-game show, New York Vinnie mentioned how, when Snell left the game, he actually got a decent amount of applause despite the rough outing he had.
Nice to see that that jerk who interfered on Ichiro’s play late in the game was greatly outnumbered by the classy fans who still appreciated the team’s effort on a bad night.
Are you trying to say that I took the low road?
I don’t know if it was the low road, but I’d say it was below the belt.
*snort* I can do it now; you went first!
Well, at least we haven’t heard any references to a certain Accept song from the 80’s so far, so I guess nobody’s too far
to the wall, er, below the belt.I was at last night’s game, and I definitely gave Ian Snell a nice round of applause. He was left out there to soak up 100 pitches–regardless of his comfort level or success rate with those pitches.
He got us into the 7th inning…which was, really what we all hoped for… We pretty much sacrificed Ian, and this game, to the health of our bullpen for the rest of the series.
We’ll see how that plan works out for us…but I’m glad we showed some respect for those who were expendable.
PS–Never found any discussion of this…but Ichiro didn’t hurt himself in his last at bat, did he?
No surgery for Beltre!
Bedard had a torn labrum! Ouch!
