Hernandez vs Masterson, 10:05 AM.

Happy Felix Day.

The M’s put their ace on the mound as they go for the sweep. Not a bad position to be in.

    Happy felix day. I’m posting a sign on the facade of the upper deck that say as much ( 2 sections towards first base from home plate).

  2. EthanN on August 15th, 2010 8:40 am

    4-1 in their last 5? Now is not a good time to start drinking folks!

  3. GoldenGutz on August 15th, 2010 8:55 am

    Hooray Felix Day. Should be a fun game.

  4. Westside guy on August 15th, 2010 8:57 am

    I refuse to comment on Lopez batting fourth.

    Oops…

  5. kimalanus on August 15th, 2010 10:06 am

    @lesch2k Your sign made the pregame show at about 10:04….

  6. Swungonandbelted on August 15th, 2010 10:06 am

    Hah, nice sign 🙂

  7. EthanN on August 15th, 2010 10:12 am

    C’mon Lopie

  8. MariLOLs on August 15th, 2010 10:13 am

    LOLopez.

    I know it’s more fashionable to bemoan the loss of Brandon Morrow, but I grind my teeth every time Choo makes a great play.

  10. EthanN on August 15th, 2010 11:04 am

    Is Masterson seriously no-hitting us? I know its only been four innings but geeze. The M’s hate giving Felix run support

  11. EthanN on August 15th, 2010 11:11 am

    That a boy Kotchman. Way to shut me up lol

  12. ManageWA on August 15th, 2010 11:14 am

    seriously? You have SAUNDERS bunt?

    Take away one of the strongest bats?

    Sigh.

  13. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 11:16 am

    Saunders bunts all the time. Now whether he should or not is a good question.

  14. MariLOLs on August 15th, 2010 11:21 am

    That tag lightly brushed the jersey. tuck in your jersey, kids. This ain’t hockey.

  15. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 11:22 am

    No it didn’t. Why does it seem like the calls go against the M’s all the time this year?

  16. ManageWA on August 15th, 2010 11:23 am

    well that was robbery.

  17. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 11:26 am

    I know it’s more fashionable to bemoan the loss of Brandon Morrow, but I grind my teeth every time Choo makes a great play.

    Every time I think about that horrible Choo for an ESPN analyst trade, it almost makes me wish I had a Bill Bavasi voodoo bobblehead.

    Is Masterson seriously no-hitting us?

    The way the Mariners have hit this year, it makes me think Bat Masterson could return from the dead and no-hit them.

    Speaking of historical figures, today’s game was starting to get a vibe of this one.

  18. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 11:47 am

    So sad. With so many of the Mariners’ ads now irrelevant, they’re forced to use previous seasons’. I do love that Ichiro one, though.

    They just showed your sign brah!

  20. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:06 pm

    Well, thanks a lot, guys, for finding a way to screw up yet another one of Felix’ starts…sigh.

  21. jordan on August 15th, 2010 12:06 pm

    Felix has had his best breaking ball the past two starts, and now near the end of his outing when he should start to rely on it more and more he just continues to pump fastballs.

  22. PouxBear on August 15th, 2010 12:06 pm

    I absolutely HATE Chone Figgins

  23. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 12:07 pm

    I’m finally going to say it, after controlling myself all season, because I do think Figgins has actual ability, unlike Lopez.

    I hate you, Figgins.

    ETA: OH, right, this is going to end well. In the words of Dusty Baker, Hafner’s due!

  24. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 12:10 pm

    I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

  25. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:11 pm

    I wonder if the Braves have any fresh boxes of sunflower seeds they can give us for Figgins?

  26. PouxBear on August 15th, 2010 12:11 pm

    Have I told anybody lately, that I hate chone figgins and that I hold him personally responsible for the majority of what went wrong this season? Logic be damned!

  27. groundzero55 on August 15th, 2010 12:12 pm

    Bad calls did in the M’s today, not the play of our guys.

  28. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 12:13 pm

    And now Sean White.

    Perfect. Just perfect.

  29. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:14 pm

    Yeah, it’s not as though Hafner sucks and has no power, after all…

    Back in the day, I would’ve been tempted to pull a David Letterman and throw my radio out the window on just such occasions. I must be getting older and wiser in my “middle” age.

  30. MariLOLs on August 15th, 2010 12:17 pm

    It might have been in Chicago, but late in one of the M’s road games, Figgins came up to bat late in the game, and you could clearly hear some guy in the crowd chanting “CHO-NEEEEEEEE.” He keeps this up, we may be hearing that in home games before long. At least he is hitting. *shrug*

  31. MariLOLs on August 15th, 2010 12:19 pm

    Where exactly was the bad call? The tag on Figgins DID get him. They showed a different angle a few frames after the tag that made it look like he missed it by a foot, but that wasnt the case.

    In other news, Sean White.

  32. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 12:19 pm

    Is Figgins going to score seven runs in two innings? Because that’s what it’s going to take.

    Oops, maybe eight…still going…

  33. pgreyy on August 15th, 2010 12:20 pm

    Sean White, ladies and gentlemen…

    (Although, I can’t argue with him being used in this situation…the game’s beyond reach…)

    I don’t know what feed you’re watching. They played an angle that showed that although the straight angle appeared that he was touched, he was clearly not.

  35. spankystout on August 15th, 2010 12:26 pm

    I can honestly say I have never been more frustrated as an M’s fan than today. Masterson throws more balls than strikes, and the M’s can’t even squeak one run! I’m all for blowing up this team and starting over, keeping only Felix.

  36. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:28 pm

    Sean White, ladies and gentlemen…

    Ahh…the value of having these “hometown” guys hogging up roster space as part of a “competitive” team.

  37. MariLOLs on August 15th, 2010 12:30 pm

    LOLopez, way to turn that close double into a single.

  38. spankystout on August 15th, 2010 12:31 pm

    Would the Rainiers beat the Mariners in a seven-game series?

  39. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:34 pm

    Would the Rainiers beat the Mariners in a seven-game series?

    At this point, the Queen Anne Little League All-Stars could probably beat the M’s in a seven-game series.

  40. Paul B on August 15th, 2010 12:36 pm

    Would the Rainiers beat the Mariners in a seven-game series?

    Nah, the Rainiers have Rob Johnson.

  41. spankystout on August 15th, 2010 12:42 pm

    Haha…No doubt those mind-reading intangibles lead to wins! Viva El RoJo!

  42. juneau_fan on August 15th, 2010 12:46 pm

    At least it’s not a shut out.

  43. spankystout on August 15th, 2010 12:46 pm

    Some kid just yelled at Seddon “hey pitcher, over here!” he then gives up a HR! Somebody punch that kid, and Seddon.

  44. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 12:51 pm

    Actually, I think I’d rather have this guy behind the plate/in the lineup than RoJo…

    Besides probably being more productive, he’d become an instant fan favorite — and just imagine the marketing possibilities for collectibles! 🙂

  45. GarForever on August 15th, 2010 1:02 pm

    2010 Seattle Mariners, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways…

  46. scott19 on August 15th, 2010 1:10 pm

    How about this for a marketing slogan:

    The 2010 Seattle Mariners: Is it football season yet?

  47. GarForever on August 15th, 2010 1:15 pm

    Or…

    The 2010 Seattle Mariners: You’ll have more fun watching the Rainiers.

  48. certaindoom on August 15th, 2010 1:25 pm

    Last spring, there sure were a lot of USSM’ers applauding Figgins’ acquisition and Jack Z’s work in general.

    But all that was then, this is now.

    Those Cleveland Indians sure have a couple of good young players, Cabrera and Choo. They might be worth something some day.

  49. Westside guy on August 15th, 2010 2:21 pm

    I am still not against the Figgins signing, but I do think he’s made it obvious why he got moved to third – the guy is just not that good a second baseman.
