Game 121, Mariners at Twins

DMZ · August 15, 2008 at 4:10 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

Silva’s joyous return to Minnesota. Faces Liriano.

Seriously, the Twins offered to give the M’s $10m and the M’s wouldn’t take it. And now they get to face Silva. Their cup runneth over.

    Politicians can sponsor the 7th inning stretch?

    The apocalypse is nigh…

    Phelps is getting in the pool on CBUT (99) live going for #7 if anyone is interested.

    It’s over….I won’t !

    Silva stinks

    did Sims say that Little Toot is in the game defensively?

    105 – I saw a “Tug Hulett”…that must be him, yep.

    “At least come up with original fat jokes, like any kid playing the dozens can manage.”

    If Silva gets any bigger, he’ll be able to pitch with one ass cheek in 206 and the other in 425 during his windup.

    Come back time. Oh wait, come back to reality.

    SEATTLE — City officials have finally gotten rid of five high-tech self-cleaning toilets that cost Seattle $5 million but sold online for just $12,549.

    There’s a Mariner parallel in there somewhere.

    109 XteveX: Thank you.

    Jim.

    I’d say the lesson is it’s much cheaper to get rid of a toilet than a pile of crap.

    But…did we get any toilet prospects in return?

    You don’t want to just let that shit go for nothing, right?

    It’s so nice living where we get CBUT on our cable system. NBC’s West coast coverage sucks. CBUT shows live events from 5pm into the evening. Since Watching Phelps swim earlier I’m now watching Canads Vs USA in baseball live.

    Just think of the team that Canada ideally could have fielded, with Jason Bay, Justin Morneau, Jeff Francis, Erik Bedard (well, maybe not him), Ryan Dempster, Russell Martin, Matt Stairs and Joey Votto.

  17. MedicineHat on August 15th, 2008 8:40 pm

    Yeah…a couple of my geek friends and I put together the “all-country” teams every couple years.

    My rhetoric is inadequate to express my gratitude that the Olympics only happen every four years.

    Except they don’t.

    Ask Vancouver in two years.

    The inundation from the Winter Olympics leaking into all areas of culture and sports isn’t nearly as throat-clawingly constant as the Summer Olympics.

  21. David_H12 on August 15th, 2008 9:36 pm

    Hey Dave what do you think about claiming Vernon Wells on waivers???

    It’s so nice living where we get CBUT on our cable system. NBC’s West coast coverage sucks.

    Which is what’s gonna totally suck for the VAN Winter Games in 2010…seeing as though CTV has the contract for them and we don’t get CTV on Comcast.

    In other words, with the Olympics but 2.5 hours away, instead of seeing wall-to-wall event coverage in real time, those of us here in Seattle will be stuck with NBC’s “awesome” coverage of Bob Costas sitting around in front of a fake fireplace in a studio somewhere in downtown Vancouver. >:(

    Indeed. I’m actually looking forward to the ’10 Winter Games, because Vancouver is but a 45-minute drive from Bellingham. Maybe I can sneak into Bode Miller’s posse.

    I’m trying to see if I can do the Vincent Price/Jeff Goldblum “Fly” thing so that I can “buzz” on in to GM Place for the Canada-US hockey game. 🙂

    Not during the Olympics it’s not going to be.

    Look at Riggs, pulling the trick he learned from Joe Maddon last weekend.
