Game 120, Mariners at Angels

King Felix v Santana. 7:05.
Here’s how ancient I am: Growing up, I used to like MTV’s 120 Minutes but we didn’t (and couldn’t) get cable in my bit of unincorporated King County, so I used to bug friends in other states to mail me video tapes. If you grew up here with me, listening to the big Puget Sound radio stations, you must understand.
Today marks an unimportant milestone: Riggleman has now managed as many games as McLaren lost before being fired.
McLaren: 25-47, .347
Riggleman: 20-27, .426

Hey, Reed remembered that he’s playing in Anaheim again!
JR!!!!!!!!!
And, soon, an army of 1.3 billion Lefebvre Believers.
is this karma for last night’s cheap save?
oh, no, wait, it’s all the umpire’s fault …
I just realized that K-Rod has more saves than Mariners have wins.
Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul Again!
Are Angels fans seriously booing? “Fans” I mean.
That’s sort of pathetic.
Can we pleeeeeeeeze keep Raul? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze ?
that would be one entertaining Nation.
Raul Ibanez: earning his u’s
Green in line to get the Vulture!
Re keeping Ibanez — sure, if he accedes to being DH and/or 1B, I’m all for it.
Draft picks sound better.
is that some exotic new French watch they award the winning pitcher?
LOL. Of course.
Screw Texeira. But what a game!
Yeah, yeah. I fixed the spelling (before you posted even).
ugh… Did JJ clear waivers?
CRAP. Putz.
Well that sucked.
Aaaaand, now it doesn’t matter how I spelled it.
Still, a blown save for KR. Did they finally say that was his first of the year, not his fifth?
Look at the bright side, Ichiro might get to extend his hitting streak now.
At least they didn’t get good wood on anything against JJ 😉
Too bad we didn’t have Vidro to get in some of that late rally action.
It’s his fifth.
By the way, Strasburg tonight, vs the Netherlands:
7IP, 0R, 1H, 11K (hit came vs the next-to-last batter he faced). His breaking stuff is better than I thought it would be. Of course, he was facing the Netherlands. Most of their players were Dutch Antilles guys who haven’t seen the minors in years.
G-Man,
Not sure where you are getting your stats. That is definitely K-Rods 5th blown save this season.
Ichiro gets another chance now.
“Joe’s Tracer” is ridiculously off. Maybe if everyone’s strike zone was the size of a container of Chinese food… How could our announcers not notice that by this point in the season?
Oh well, shoot for the fourteenth now.
Nacho cheese burger…
Roy Corcoran: one of those cheap assets that can make up part of an effective bullpen. Doesn’t need a “role”, just goes out and gets outs.
I’m gonna beg some more…
Can we pleeeeeeeze keep Raul? Pretty Pleazzzze?
One last time for Rauuuuuul. 4 in a row. We can’t have a better chance than that. Get him home. Just in spire me.
Ibanez is fun to watch these days.
And Beltre sacrificing. Just gross.
Wlad!!!!!!!!!!!1
Oh yeah!!! Way to turn it around young man.
4 K’s and the biggest hit of his career. Nice Game Wlad.
Damn that Wlad, didn’t leave anyone on base for Cairo.
WLAD!!!!!!!!!!
WLAD!!!!!!!
Gameday is showing that there was an injury delay. Who was injured?
Update: Tanks for the runs, Mr. Balentien. Nice work! Thanks for the win!
WLAD beats Vlad. Works for me.
One of the finest wins of the year.
94 – The umpire got hit on the arm with the ball and a gourd-sized bunyon sprouted near his wrist, shortly followed by a Dave Valle erection (if you were listening, you know).
well, that was an unexpected outcome.
The home plate umpire got hit with a foul ball near the end so there was a little delay.
Earlier Macier Izturis left after reinjuring his thumb. I think that was on Yuni’s single in the awesome ninth inning.
caller to the postgame is concerned that those young players from Tacoma are taking too many fast balls.
