200: 🙂
Is Ichiro fast enough to score 6 runs in one at-bat?
Guess it’s mail it in time. Good thing our
Solid Bullpen TM picked up our Resurgent
Starting Pitching TM.
CoolStandings had the M’s playoff chances at 2.8% before this debacle.. probably below 1% tomorrow. Such a shame..
Why nobody complained Mac not pinch-hitting for Lopez at the top of 7th? It was a 2 run game with a slow runner at 1st. Why do they have Ben Broussard for? Mac PH for Lopez yesterday with Reed in that situation. Granted, Lopez hit a ground ball between the SS and 3B which normally should be a base hit, but with Joh running from 1B, it’s just a ground out. But in this case, you are one swing away from tieing the game. Why not have Broussard or Jeff Clement hit there?
I forgot what it was like to have your offense take a lead, get a quality start from your SP, bring your bullpen in the 7th, have Sherrill, Green and Morrow actually get guys out, then have JJ come in once the 9th came around.
This is sad. The last time I saw JJ, we were 20 games over 500 and 3 games up on the Yankees in the WC. ;(
Is it possible for CoolStandings to register negative readings on playoff chances, I wonder?
7 innings too late for Campillo
JJ – the loneliest job in the world the last two weeks.
and Michigan has been skunked twice since he had a meaningful inning…
We’ve now 1-13 in the last 14 games.
How much worse does it have to get until the FO sours on McLaren?
Nice 12-6 curve, wish I had been watching that the last two weeks. Wow.
207: there is a trend-line graph.. the Ms’ curve over the last two weeks looks like Bob Hope’s nose..
205: I was kinda wondering myself why Ben Broussard has been on the roster all season — since, after all, he just doesn’t possess the same degree of that much-vaunted Veteran Goodness that Big Sucksy does.
just what the Tigers needed.. an insurance run..
212: And, ironically, that IS the score now…
and Pudge goes opposite field off Campillo … at least every pitcher the Ms have trotted out there so far has been consistent. Sigh.
so, at what point does Neihaus decide that hanging around waiting for the Ford Frick award won’t make up for having to call another decade of losing baseball?
214: I think the proper comp might be Eduardo Perez, who is so embued with Veteran Goodness that he’s on Baseball Tonight.. 🙂
Timo Perez just hit a triple off us for his 3rd hit of the night. You can now officially consider me clinically depressed, any chance McLaren pays for me medical visits? He did it to me.
what was Dave’s phrase for Campillo? Organizational fodder?
How many games might different managing and lineups have saved — realistically — over the last 14? Three or four perhaps? Anyway to put a sabre metric on it?
#219– Eduardo also has Baseball Heritage.
He did it to me
The bastard!.
Yorman!
My man?? No, YORMAN!
so did Jeff Frazier do anything this year as the warm body they got for Yorman?
Our orginizational fodder gives up home runs…
Tigers unknown random guy gets K, F8, 4-3.
These games have me feeling like Bill Murray in Ground Hogs Day.. every day is always the same..
Gee, did we really need that Sleep Country factoid on Sexson’s five grand slams just now?
Wooo! Another game augered in by the M’s.
Yeah, but Bill Murray had the ability to change his days. We’re passive participants, depending on the kindness of others.
These guys remind me of a major league team all right…
The Cleveland Indians in Major League!
(Er, wait, THEY at least won the WS…)
@233 scott19
Despite making it to the playoffs, it would be revealed in Major League II that they were swept in the American League Championship Series by the Chicago White Sox, who went on to win the World Series.
232: what’s frustrating is the extent to which we can see it coming..
ya Jeff Frazier was SOOO worth Yorman Bazardo
it was another blown call on Ichiro!??
did he argue this one, too?
Thank God that Football season starts tomorrow for the Hawks
At coolstandings.com, they now have our wildcard odds at 1.0% What I think is really funny, though, is that we still have a 0.1% shot at the division title.
Dear Mariners: Please start firing, releasing, and trading players asap. Enough is enough
The MLB headline for the game recap says the M’s couldn’t survive another bullpen meltdown.
But wait. Looking at the box score, we scored 6 runs, and our starting pitcher allowed 7 runs, so the contribution of the bullpen was completely irrelevant. Wasn’t it?
