Game 146, Red Sox at Mariners
Buchholz vs Pauley, 3:40 pm.
The M’s play an afternoon game today so that the Red Sox can take off afterwards, and with a match-up of Buchholz versus the Mariners offense, this one shouldn’t take very long. It’d be nice for the M’s to rough up Boston’s young starter and knock him off the list of potential Cy Young vote receivers (he won’t get much support, but he might steal a vote or two that would otherwise go to Felix if he ends the year with an ERA in the low 2s), but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Bring up the ENTIRE R’s team. The major league club has completely given up.
And seriously, for one of the games when this MiLB series championship is over, the M’s should bring up the entire starting lineup from Tacoma and put them ALL in. Screw any whining M’s players. I’d love to see (If they win it) the Championship AAA team play a MLB team… without any M’s players involved. It’d be interesting. At least it’d be funny.
5 homers… thx to Mike Wilson!
Make that 5 HR (from 5 different R’s — Mike Wilson just went yard). They’re into double digit runs in just the 4th. That indigestion Memphis is feeling isn’t just the fried food….
Well, letting the R’s play one game with their entire lineup against an MLB club would be fun. But we can’t sit Ichiro — at this point, watching him relentlessly run down 200 is the only thing I enjoy.
On track to lose 101 games–sound familiar?
And great move to fire Wakamatsu–his winning pct was .375 while Brown’s is .382.
Leave it up to Ian Snell to load the bases with nobody out when you’re up by 7… at least only 2 runs were scored. Ian Snell… welcome to your permanent home, Tacoma. And after his whining issues in Pittsburgh, it seems that he’s ok with staying down in the Minors.
“Your 2011 Seattle Mariners – Hope for Change”
“Your 2011 Seattle Mariners – There’s always 2012…”
“Your 2011 Seattle Mariners – Rick Rizzs here, friends, remember ’95? THAT was a good team” (ducks)
Think we can get a batch of these done in teal?
Also: required reading (and a reminder things could be even worse.)
Meanwhile, Rafael Soriano struck out Alex Rodriguez to get the save as the Rays retook first place.
Who did we acquire in the Soriano trade? I can’t remember.
“Your 2011 Mariners. Come for the Garlic Fries.”
Horacio Ramirez (on December 7, 2006… a day that will live in infamy). (Yes, that article was from the day before, but the deal became official on the 7th. Appropriately.)
This slogan contest is a lot more fun than most of the games have been this season!
“Your 2011 Seattle Mariners – There’s always 2012…”
I like that one. It’s really versatile since all you have to do is add one to both years and the next year’s slogan is ready made.
How about “Your 2011 Seattle Mariners – If you liked the 2010 Rainiers you’re gonna LOVE these guys…”
Man this has been a dismal several years. Why did you have to bring up the Soriano-Ramirez trade to remind me again of all the bonehead moves the M’s have made over the last few years.
I still trust in Z. I mean what else can the Rainiers winning a minor league championship demonstrate but that things are going to get better in a couple of years.
When the M’s finnish below .500 again, I hope Armstrong does not freak out and fire Z. I really hope he doesn’t.
Russell Branyan!
A walk, a homerun, and a strike out.
currently stands at a 53% TTO w/ the M’s this season.
Truly legendary.
Something’s strange. What’s up with Beltre? He seems like a completely different hitter now.
The Green Monster happened to him. Nothing helps a hitter more than getting out of a park that kills him and going to a park that helps him.
