Game 20, Mariners at White Sox

DMZ · April 28, 2009 at 12:53 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

Double-header! Woooo! 2:05 our time.

Jakubauskas v Colon in the first, and I’ll probably try to throw a second game thread up later for #21.

Also, read Dave’s post below if you haven’t already.

    League-average players do not grow on trees.

    Especially when they can play center field.

  2. madwlad on April 28th, 2009 3:51 pm

    I think it’s time for Beltre to hit his first hr of the year.

  3. Lauren, token chick on April 28th, 2009 3:52 pm

    Jaku’s had a pretty amazing game. Two hits over eight innings? I’ll take it.

  4. jephdood on April 28th, 2009 3:52 pm

    Great start by Jak. And he’s gonna lose again. Ugh.

    As you can see I have no confidence in our offense coming back.

    I can’t take his facial hair seriously. PLEASE Mariners, find a way to rally.

  6. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 3:53 pm

    Great time for an error, Sox! Thanks, Josh…

  7. Lauren, token chick on April 28th, 2009 3:53 pm

    Pheeewww another error… maybe this one will make the difference?

  8. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 3:54 pm

    Same as a bunt– not bad.

  9. joser on April 28th, 2009 3:54 pm

    Jenks hasn’t blown a save yet this year. He blows about 1 in 7. This would be a good place for his first.

  10. Gregor on April 28th, 2009 3:55 pm

    If Lopez makes an out now, do they walk Johnson intentionally?

  11. Breadbaker on April 28th, 2009 3:56 pm

    Rob Johnson, RBI Machine, to be replaced by Mike Sweeney, professional hitter.

  12. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 3:56 pm

    Pitching around Lopez… To get to Johnson. Manager vs Manager time…

  13. tkight on April 28th, 2009 3:56 pm

    Yes – sit the guy with the best hit of the day.

  14. Lauren, token chick on April 28th, 2009 3:56 pm

    Whatthe… that wasn’t intentional, was it?

  15. KaminaAyato on April 28th, 2009 3:56 pm

    You know, I’m not sure how much to take from this game. Considering how this game has gone at light speed, and that this is a back-to-back doubleheader, and that it’s freaking cold over there, I’m thinking both teams are thinking:

    “Let’s just get this game over with as soon as possible. We have to play another one, so let’s get the first one out of the way.”

    *shrugs* Just a thought.

  16. Jack Howland on April 28th, 2009 3:57 pm

    This would be a good spot for Clement.

  17. joser on April 28th, 2009 3:57 pm

    Betancourt watching Lopez from the dugout, giant imaginary “?” over his head. “He’s on first? Without hitting the ball? ¿Que?”

  18. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 3:58 pm

    Bull! Bases loaded… Nice faux strike. (Oops, I had the count wrong– I mean, “Nice swing, Sweeney!” *at ball four*)

  19. tkight on April 28th, 2009 3:58 pm

    Hard to make me laugh down 1 in the 9th, but this did.

  20. JR Ewing on April 28th, 2009 3:58 pm

    Franklin and Buehlre hooked up for a 99 minute masterpiece a few years back on the south side.

  21. UW10 on April 28th, 2009 3:59 pm

    sweeney almost swung at that? WOW

  22. msb on April 28th, 2009 4:00 pm

    I’m thinking both teams are thinking:
    “Let’s just get this game over with as soon as possible. We have to play another one, so let’s get the first one out of the way.”

    well, the home plate ump is sure thinking that.

  23. Breadbaker on April 28th, 2009 4:00 pm

    I could have struck out on that pitch, too.

  24. school25 on April 28th, 2009 4:00 pm

    cant believe he hit sweeney for johnson

  25. UW10 on April 28th, 2009 4:01 pm

    pitching coach to danks: “just throw breaking balls, he’ll swing at everything”

  26. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 4:01 pm

    The ump certainly thinks we need to speed up the game (way inside)…

  27. UpOrDownMsFan on April 28th, 2009 4:02 pm

    Don’t hurt yourself Balentien! *geesh*

  28. ppl on April 28th, 2009 4:02 pm

    Balentien is a homer threat at all times.

  29. joser on April 28th, 2009 4:03 pm

    Damnit. On a warmer day….

  30. JerBear on April 28th, 2009 4:04 pm

    Damn. Hate to see a great performance by Jak go to waste. Oh well. Rack em for game two.

  31. UW10 on April 28th, 2009 4:04 pm

    if we can’t hit colon, we’re screwed against danks

  32. AssumedName on April 28th, 2009 4:06 pm

    Does Jak get credit for a CG? Hard luck, losing when your team got twice as many hits as the other club.

  33. jephdood on April 28th, 2009 4:06 pm

    Final pissed off thoughts:

    1. I hate closers with douche’y “I’m scary” facial hair

    2. Home plate umpiring has been REALLY terrible this year

    3. That EQC tracer/tracker thing is the biggest POS known to man

  34. Mike Honcho on April 28th, 2009 4:09 pm

    AssumedName –

    Yes.

  35. joser on April 28th, 2009 4:10 pm

    That EQC tracer/tracker thing is the biggest POS known to man

    Fortunately, those of us with computers and internet connections can ignore it because we have something much better.

  36. Mike Honcho on April 28th, 2009 4:10 pm

    That feeble effort vs. Thornton in the eighth is exactly why Wak needs to break up his LH triumverate at the top of the order.

  37. Breadbaker on April 28th, 2009 4:22 pm

    if we can’t hit colon, we’re screwed against danks

    If they can’t hit Jakabauskas, they’re screwed against Felix. So who gets to the bullpen first?

  38. naviomelo on April 28th, 2009 4:26 pm

    I think we lost this game when Lopez didn’t try to score on the Johnson double.

  39. Diehard on April 28th, 2009 4:32 pm

    Felix will take care of things! Remember his last start….

  40. joser on April 28th, 2009 5:54 pm

    First complete game by a Mariners’ rookie pitcher since Bobby Madritsch on Sept 29, 2004 (against Rich Harden).
