Poor Daren Brown almost gets a
demotion being handed this mess. Best of luck.
Looks like he pulled one of Wak’s lineups out of the trash.
Hey, we could still go 90-72! I am full of hope for the new era.
Look out folks…the Comeback begins tonight!
This lineup is missing a lot of Michael Saunders…Atleast he doesn’t have Lopez hitting 4th.
Same lineup different manager! what’s that saying? New boss, the same as the old boss?
@FSNnorthwest
Don’t let the rainy weather get you down!
If TheRealMariners asks for song requests, I’m going to be tweeting Blame It on the Rain by Milli Vanilli.
Unless you prefer Ichi and Figgy batting 3rd and cleanup, the lineup can’t really change too much.
He also pointed out that he’d like to actually see the team before making any changes
I must admit, there’s a sick part of me that counts which ads they can’t show any more this season. So let’s move the Wak and Z playing golf one to the trash….
There was a particularly humorous stretch, where the RRS one was pulled when he was doing poorly, shone every game after he finally won a start, then has been yanked again that he’s on the DL.
What other lineup would you guys suggest? It’s not like Ichiro is hitting 9th. This lineup is about the best we can do with the talent we have right now. Saunders is still hurting.
How about Figgins as leadoff? Or would that irreparably damage the Ichiro psyche and relationship?
Bill Krueger was just asked the differences between last year and this year, and he rattled off about 6 things. I think every one of the things he named was completely wrong — and a small amount of research would have shown that.
Too much mousse leeches through his scalp and into his brain, methinks.
The only difference between this year and last year is that last year, everyone drastically overachieved. This year, everyone drastically underachieved. It happens.
I’d probably bat Lopez 9th. But would have to look up the opposing pitcher to decide.
A question on Jeopardy tonight about sports teams and their stars.
“Adrian Beltre and Ichiro Suzuki”…answer – Who are the Seattle Mariners.
Evidently Jeopardy doesn’t pay close attention to the Mariners.
Who does? 🙂
Better line-up has Guti hitting 5th.
Good news, Ackley was 3 for 4, one triple and two singles…
Congrats as your new commission on the HMS Titanic, Captain Brown. Just go ahead and see where this gets you.
He’s probably pissed he had to leave a team competing to manage these knob-jobs.
I’m eagerly awaiting the minor-league round-up from Jay! I’m fully ready to badger him with Pineda/Ackley/Brown questions!
My man-crush on Jay grows every day.
Figgy is probably so happy, he is going to hit 3 triples today.
Wooo we’re averaging over 9 runs a game in the Brown era!!
Gameday has the lineup wrong… confusing.
What’s this patience at the plate run the pitch count up nonsense…this isn’t M’s baseball….
Maybe the AAA manager made them remember that they once were in the minors and had to actually TRY
There is a manager right now out of work that could fill the M’s vacancy… Piniella!
That was an epic battle between Fister and Kouz. He is a former Beaver third sacker. I have not had this much fun with innuendo since that Bong and Puffer pitching matchup a few years back.
Entire innings of effort so far. I’m impressed with the SSS Brown era.
Why do Dave and Mike always answer the text question right after they ask us to vote?
Haha, the Beaver got Fistered
Well, no. No there isn’t.
wow. just wow. That loud popping sound coming from Safeco earlier today was made by 25 heads exiting their respective rectums.
Wow loafie turning a triple play! The apocalypse must be nearing!
See, this is why the M’s needed a new manager. Wak would never have put the ‘turn a triple play’ sign on.
When was the last triple play in the majors?
When was the last one turned by the Mariners? I think I remember seeing one in person in the Kingdome, but don’t recall what year it was.
Sims mentioned it was in 1995.
Wow. 15 years.
The Yankees went 42 years (1968-2010) without a triple play. The M’s have turned ten since 1977. This was the first since July 13, 1995. Maybe you saw that one.
Dammit. White?
New manager, same crap.
brandon morrow has a lower FIP than tim lincecum. I guess we picked the right one after all.
Woohoo! 1-0 in the Brown era!
Well, based on my observations of the cell-phone addicted… they’re probably only paying enough attention to notice when the AT&T Trivia question pops up, then immediately lose interest in the game. So Dave and Mike figure they’re not going to impact the balloting.
But for those of us playing the home version of the game – yeah it’s very annoying.
Man, I love Art Thiel:
Just watched the “triple play” and yeah, Ellis was definately safe. haha.
Thiel really is awesome.
In a sinking season of (rightfully) negative emotions and blown dreams, let me be the first to say–
“Nice day you had there, Mr. Brown… Welcome to the big leagues!”
I mean, look at you– pulling the strings on 2 out base hits, some runs in the 1st inning (unheard of!), AND a triple play… A little beer party in the showers, post game… You outdid yourself, sir!
(Kinda like being some guy with a $10 winning scratch ticket while the banking industry crashes around you.)
[[And Thiel rocks… That’s beautiful.]]
