50 – totally. It’s great that he created a completely different, more violent delivery to become effective, but if the wheel had to be reinvented that much, it might be a telling sign.
For now, he’s fun as hell to watch.
Holy shit, has anyone ever seen the “Little Puma’s” cheering section in Houston?!? Wow.
They need to put Lopez back in the #2 spot…he hasn’t looked comfortable since the move…
Tim Lincecum. Why are the Mariners so clueless? Feierabend. Poor kid.
ICHIRO! (CF)
WLAF (RF)
Reed (4th OF/LF)
Beltre (3B)
Clement (C)
Ichiro will be here, but I can’t figure out the rest of this group. Why they don’t play Clement almost every day is beyond me (I almost choked Rigglebutt through the TV when he pinch hit Cairo for him yesterday), they just don’t seem to want to completely commit to him, Beltre has to be trade bait, Reed’s arm is embarrassing, even for a left fielder. and Wlaf has plate discipline to figure out. Lopez? he can hit, but enough to make up for such a lack of range? I can’t stand Yuni, worst baserunner/bunter I have ever seen at shortstop, but what else is there?
man, 09 is going to be brutal, but if the right people are placed in charge this winter, at least there might be a future.
He looked out to me there at second…
Lopez needs to go. WLAD will learn. Reed looks like he’s figured it out finally and is a cheap, left-handed 4th outfielder…
I’d say they should only trade Beltre if the offer blows them away or if he says he will 100% not re-sign…
BTW, what type of FA would Beltre be if he leaves? What sort of compensation package would we get?
Pretty subjective question for the lot of you:
I lived in Yakima for one year in a life otherwise lived in Minnesota; the guy I always talked baseball with was a diehard Mariners guy and said the rival teams for Seattle was a very clear 1-2 that went Angels-Athletics. Would you guys agree?
Wlad and Clement have stopped taking walks. They’re starting to become Mariners.
I think that the team that is the greater rival for the M’s is whichever one has been doing better for the last several seasons.
Don’t get too excited about the comeback…remember, Batista is pitching…
60- Was about to write the same thing…
Hell is about to start freezing…Yuni takes a walk…
58 – I think the Yankees will always be the #1 rival for me because they are always good and so evil. As for the teams in the AL West, I think it kind of depends on who the current hot team is, like the Angels for the last several years. It’s not like the Raiders or Broncos were to the Seahawks back in the day. That being said, boy do I hate the Los Angeles Angels who live in Anaheim.
60 and 62 – I figured that was the way. That’s similar to the way here, I guess, though the White Sox seem to be despised by everyone no matter how they’re doing.
63- Try being a Mariners fan and living in California…
All I ask Cairo, don’t hit into the DP.
Gotta fill AT LEAST two holes. I’m not a fan of trades that fill one hole only to create another…
Is that coaching again? I know this team, as a consistent philosophy, loves aggressive hitters. I’d hate it if they coached the patience out of hitters…
65 – At least Padres fans understand.
I doubt we’ll win this game, but I don’t know about “mailing it in every day” as comment 28 suggested…
At least they are battling…
Why can’t Raul run that fast in the outfield?
Can they get Feierabend out of this loss?
Tivo back to the Betancourt walk in the 8th. He seriously looks confused after ball four.
Will Beltre EVER learn to leave those pitches alone? FUCK!
“Why can’t Raul run that fast in the outfield?”
Because he doesn’t know which way he should go.
If all of you had to choose another team to get behind, like if the Mariners moved to Oklahoma or refuse to hire a competant FO, who would it be?
HR Mike Cameron, his 21st of the season. I believe that at least ties for the Mariners lead this year.
73 – Though I obviously am a Twins guy and I’ve already made it clear that the Mariners are the other team I follow, mine would be the Diamondbacks. This is also a clearly logical move, since I worked for them.
I really think this is very close to asking whether Raul will ever learn to get a good jump on the ball. Beltre isn’t choosing to misjudge what pitch to swing at; he’s fooled. He can’t tell. You’re asking him, basically, to learn to guess better at pitches that he can’t judge where they’re going quickly enough.

The Dodgers for me. My Dad grew up a Dodgers fan so I’m used to hering of guys like Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Maury Wills, and Roy Campanella.
Yay doubla for Balentien!!
come on Joh…let’s make this game interesting…
I really like the Rockies and could see myself following them, plus Colorado could be a cool place to live… However, I have considered moving back to Philadelphia which would be a really fun team to see play all the time.
Clement is improving as a hitter, really did a good job fighting off that pitch

My dad was from the northwest, but he too was a Dodgers fan growing up. My mom grew up in the Bronx and so was naturally a Yankees fan, but not a very serious one. I think that I’d have to go with my dad on this one and follow the Dodgers, especially since I just love Koufax’s awesomeness. The Red Sox have been my “backup” team for as long as I’ve followed baseball, but now that they have so many bandwagon fans I’m not sure I want to keep it up.
For anyone that’s interested and isn’t already watching, Cha Sueng Baek is pitching against the Phillies on Sunday night baseball.
How big was the bag of balls that we got in return for him? Anybody know?

Well, hopefully it’ll NEVER get to something so drastic, but…having been originally from a town about 100 miles north of Detroit, it’d have to be the Tigers for me. Sure, the “Motor City Kitties” might only win a pennant every 20 years or so, but it makes it that much sweeter when it DOES happen. (Not to mention that, with the exception of a few rowdy knuckleheads, most of the Tiger fans I’ve met out here seem to be happy to just enjoy a decent season every now and then out of their guys without thinking they’ve got some kind of freakin’ birthright on championships — unlike a lot of Yankee, and lately, Red Sox fans.)
Of course, if we were in the (not-so)”perfect” parallel universe of Fox/ESPN where EVERY team was contracted except for those in the four cities they actually like (New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles), I guesss I’d have to go with the Dodgers then, too, since: (a) they are still on the West Coast; and (b) they are NOT the Angels — who I could NEVER bring myself to rooting for.
But then again, if it ever got to the point that MLB (or any major sports league, for that matter) allowed itself to be dictated to to THAT degree by the flippin’ TV networks, I would most likely cease to be a fan of the sport at the professional level, anyway.
