    Uh-oh…here come “Da Mess”!

  2. Mike Snow on September 19th, 2009 9:16 pm

    So, is he looking good because all that hard work is paying off, or is he looking good by contrast with Lopez?

  3. JerBear on September 19th, 2009 9:18 pm

    I was wondering that same thing, Mike. But color me impressed either way.

    It’s not that Fister’s no good…it’s because Jojima can’t call a ballgame. Fister’s best pitch is a changeup, and all Jojima can call for is fastballs.

    “Yeah. That overpaid Joh-Jap punk! Where’s Johnson when you need ‘im!!!”

    The ignorance of fans like this transcends the annoying and leaps into the hilarious.

    Oh, and without any disrespect to the many, many great players on the team, I despise the very idea of the Yankees.

    Oh no.

    Here comes The Chef.

  6. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 9:24 pm

    Well, well…Wak’s got the Burger Chef warming up in the pen now…

    Must be Gas Can Giveaway Night down at the ol’ Safe!

    CHEF CHEF CHEF CHEF

    Does “SS J Wilson” really exist, or does the official scorer just make up what kind of “out” was “produced”? Gameday shows no picture and “his” BA is listed at .000.

    Silva Time!

    Silva time makes me feel like having a drink.

  10. Carson on September 19th, 2009 9:28 pm

    NO NO NO NO

    The Chef is out in the bullpen. Better grab a sixer and some heavy duty paper plates.

    So, is he looking good because all that hard work is paying off, or is he looking good by contrast with Lopez?

    It could just be that “Tui” has more of a ring than “Loafie” when you say it. “Tui” sounds like part of a famous double play combination and I like that potential.

    On the other hand, “Loafie” sounds like an animatronic casserole that talks to young visitors touring a packing plant.

    Mike, all kidding aside, that is a very valid question. I do like his glove so far.

    Actually, that’s not a bad idea for a giveaway…”the first 20k fans receive a collectable Mariners gas can”…courtesy of one of the many sponsoring service station chains.

    Brad Adam tells us about the Tracer technology whilst going through puberty.

  14. Carson on September 19th, 2009 9:30 pm

    Hey, has this guy lost weight?

  15. Carson on September 19th, 2009 9:33 pm

    No, but seriously. Why is Hall out there?

    Anyone?

  16. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 9:37 pm

    No, but seriously. Why is Hall out there?

    Anyone?

    Because Niehaus just mentioned that “quite frankly, he (Wak) didn’t have anybody else to play out there”…

    Which I find hard to believe, since both Ryan Langerhans and Michael Saunders were still on the roster the last time I looked.

  17. DMZ on September 19th, 2009 9:42 pm

    Heck of a job there, Chef.

  18. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 9:43 pm

    Two-thirds of an inning and at least one run allowed…ah, there’s our Chef!

  19. JerBear on September 19th, 2009 9:47 pm

    Which I find hard to believe, since both Ryan Langerhans and Michael Saunders were still on the roster the last time I looked.

    According to Baker, Langerhans is came down with something and is unavailable, and since they’re already babying Saunders they didn’t want to throw him in there against Sabathia. Although, yeah, I’d still rather see Saunders.

  20. Carson on September 19th, 2009 9:49 pm

    I hope all you people that complain about Sims are enjoying the awesomeness that is Rick Rizzs.

  21. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 10:00 pm

    Egads…it’s a Saundrs sighting!

  22. Carson on September 19th, 2009 10:00 pm

    Well, thanks for the late inning defensive replacement in left field, Wak.

  23. Carson on September 19th, 2009 10:01 pm

    Ha, I think Tex is upset he didn’t get the double.

  24. Dirk on September 19th, 2009 10:02 pm

    If Teixeira wins the MVP he should send thank you letters to the Mariner pitching staff.

  25. littlesongs on September 19th, 2009 10:03 pm

    I guess Saunders was sent out there to get a better view of that jack by Teixeira.

  26. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 10:07 pm

    *Make that Saunders.

    Guess I was so excited to see somebody out there who could actually play left field tonight that I was a little fast on the keyboard…

    Although, speaking of Japanese sci-fi heroes, he’d have had to have been Jet Jaguar to have a chance at making a play on Tex’s HR just then.

    it’s because Jojima can’t call a ballgame. Fister’s best pitch is a changeup, and all Jojima can call for is fastballs.

    Hey! Fister does have a good change-up!

    “Kenji Johjima, who has caught Fister’s starts with Seattle, said the rookie’s changeup is one of his most useful weapons, and that’s why he called more changes than sliders.

    “He has a lot of confidence in his changeup, as well as command,” Johjima said through an interpreter. “And that’s what I saw the previous start, so I tried to make that as effective as possible.”

    Tui Funk Blast?

  29. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 10:14 pm

    Well, in summarizing this absolute stinker of a game, my question would be…how the hell could last night’s game — on a warm Friday night with Felix on the mound — draw only 28k while this one draw over 42k?

  30. mw3 on September 19th, 2009 10:16 pm

    Tui walk. Almost as good.

  31. msb on September 19th, 2009 10:17 pm

    how the hell could last night’s game — on a warm Friday night with Felix on the mound — draw only 28k while this one draw over 42k?

    Everyone must have been at the Storm game last night ….

  32. scott19 on September 19th, 2009 10:21 pm

    Everyone must have been at the Storm game last night ….

    Actually, I’d forgotten that there was also tons of local HS football going on last night as well…

    Although, I remember how “back in the day” (i.e. 2000-03) that would not have been a deterrent even on a Friday night in September.

  33. mw3 on September 19th, 2009 10:25 pm

    If Sabathia wins his last two starts, he’ll have twenty wins. And probably another Cy Young Award.

  34. Breadbaker on September 19th, 2009 11:04 pm

    This one had free t-shirts.

  35. TWownsU on September 19th, 2009 11:32 pm

    I went to the game. Tui made some great plays, Guti almost made an amazing catch in the first inning, many bad first base calls (for and against) and many japanese crowding my aisle for a picture of Ichiro. (section 114 row 5)
