    if it is Feierabend, can we go straight to happy hour?

  2. MarinerDan on August 27th, 2008 12:59 pm

    Let’s break this winning streak!

  3. confess on August 27th, 2008 1:21 pm

    Let’s not!

    The front office and the team they put together have by-God earned the 100-loss distinction, and I want them to own it. Live it, LOVE IT! $100 million. 100 losses. It’s destiny.

    Good Lord…I just realized I’m actually expecting the M’s to win again. I need a good talking-to. Or maybe a Silva start.

    I think the ’08 Mariners are playing the ’07 Mariners today.

    Feierabend stole my vowels.

  8. AssumedName on August 27th, 2008 2:36 pm

    I just realized Feierabend is a German name…literally “party evening”. Sweet. Let’s just hope the party’s for the M’s.

    Why don’t they just play Raul in center?

  10. MsFanInAustin on August 27th, 2008 2:49 pm

    Tie game! Alright Jose. That ball just barely got out. Sims calls it a lazy fly ball that just kept carrying.

  11. Go Felix on August 27th, 2008 2:52 pm

    I like Jose Lopez. He has been the most consistent hitter all year on this team and he seems to get hits at the right time. His defense is lacking tremendously but he is developing into a pretty decent hitter.

    There is a bar in Seattle called Feierabend isn’t there?

    Was that just fundamentally sound? By the Mariners?

  14. pumpkinhead on August 27th, 2008 3:01 pm

    A successful Mariner bunt! What are the odds on that.

  15. lokiforever on August 27th, 2008 3:15 pm

    Has anyone else noticed that all the hits for the Twins have been to left field? For those watching on TV….Were all of these legitimate hits, or Raul enhanced?

  16. lokiforever on August 27th, 2008 3:18 pm

    Typical M’s – two batters just walked, next batter swings at the first pitch for an infield grounder.

    as I understand it, feierabend is colloquially ‘after the work day’ or (as we like to think of it) ‘happy hour’.

  19. ChicksDigtheLongBall on August 27th, 2008 3:26 pm

    12-Yes, there is. It’s on Yale. Perhaps we should gather there for his next start and play M’s drinking games. 🙂 Jaeger shots for each misplayed bunt, or Yuni error anyone.

  20. pumpkinhead on August 27th, 2008 3:26 pm

    Haha… punto who just got picked off, kept mouthing “Balk! BALK!” after he was thrown out.

    Unch don’t sink so.

  21. msb on August 27th, 2008 3:31 pm

    this is one of those days when Rizzs is just rambling.

  22. cdowley on August 27th, 2008 3:32 pm

    RAUUUUUUUUUULLL!!

    Pumpkin: Replay made me think it was a balk, too, but lefties rarely, if ever, get that called. Andy Petite is a great example of it, his pickoff motion screams “BALK!” even more than Feierabend’s.

  23. AssumedName on August 27th, 2008 3:33 pm

    back to back 7 inning starts on the cheap! How humiliating is this for Silva/Wash?

  24. pumpkinhead on August 27th, 2008 3:34 pm

    If you were watching TV, you’d get to hear Sims talk about how he shaves his head.

  25. AssumedName on August 27th, 2008 3:40 pm

    WTF is up with Green?

  26. msb on August 27th, 2008 3:50 pm

    I think I may have mentioned before that Cesar doesn’t seem to like to let anyone else’s runners stay on base behind him.

  27. msb on August 27th, 2008 3:51 pm

    oh, and re: that recent M’s radio commercial– has anyone ever heard anyone say ‘hum, baby’ when a pitcher strikes a batter out?

  28. joser on August 27th, 2008 3:53 pm

    Yeah, Feierabend (the bar) is down by REI. It’s a sibling of Prost! (on Greenwood near 74th) and Die Bierstube (on Roosevelt just north of Ravenna). Feierabend has a full kitchen so it has the largest menu, but there are just a couple of small, awkwardly-placed TVs so it is a lousy place to watch games. Die Bierstube and Prost have very basic German pub food (wurst, pretzels, killer mustard) but they both are better set up for watching games with large flat screens (Die Bierstube is probably the better of the two from that perspective).

  29. joser on August 27th, 2008 3:57 pm

    But the selection of real German beer on tap (all served in appropriate glassware) is fantastic at all of them.

  30. lokiforever on August 27th, 2008 4:03 pm

    Clement can hit lefties. Who would have thought?

  31. pumpkinhead on August 27th, 2008 4:04 pm

    Frick. That wasn’t especially all that close.

  32. killer_ewok18 on August 27th, 2008 4:05 pm

    Denard Span, bane of Mariners.

  33. naufrago on August 27th, 2008 4:13 pm

    When I see the wind refuse to caress the Angels flag in the outfield, it makes me happy.

  34. MattThompson on August 27th, 2008 4:26 pm

    Why does Raul swing at a 3-0 pitch in that spot? And why does he get a green light to swing at it? The chances of a HR or XBH (the only outcomes better than a walk, with a single being a wash) are so much smaller than the chances of said walk, and it’s not like someone like Cairo was on deck.

    “this is one of those days when Rizzs is just rambling.”

    Listening to Rick Rizzs ramble is analogous to listening to That Guy in a bar who insists on telling you about the most arcane details of his entire life.

    M’s finally eliminated (per the MLB/ESPN definition I guess) in the divisional race, and they beat the Nationals there…
