(Sorry, attempted joke didn’t work: I was imagining Valle referring to him as “Doily.”)

I thought the MLB.TV issue was just me. They’ve misspelled British Columbia on the address verification screen, so I figured that was what was preventing me from verifying my location (no self-respecting credit card company would agree that I’m in Brtish Columbia).

I remember posting in spring training about how Sele’s stamina is gone…last night a classic example, he gets to the 4th inning and just absolutely hits the wall. If Sele has a future here it should be in long relief…Dave’s right, our defense is really making our crap pitching staff look good right now.

Scott Spezio is Brutal….

Randy Winn is going to KILL this team all season–you cannot put together a team where you know your outfield is going to end the season with less than 20HR’s…

You can have winn or reed but not both…since the upside on JR is infinitly better ditch winn package him with franklin or boone and make something happen,…act now before the standings get away from us..

I’ve looked through the game logs for this game multiple times to clarify that what I’m about to say is true. From the boxscore, you can see that the Mariner hitters failed to draw a single walk against Byrd/Donnelly. From what I’ve seen from my notes and the logs, the Mariner didn’t even get to a single three-ball count in the game. I have no idea how often this happens, but I’m thinking it can’t be too often.

There’s no way Valle reads USSM, and I don’t think it’ll ever catch on outside here. That said, who knows.

By the way, about this “Doyle” nickname… am I the only one to have imagined what Dave Valle is going to do to that if it catches on?

#96–DMZ said:Ã¢â‚¬Å“And Calvin Pickering has tripped up on something between second and third Ã¢â‚¬â€ heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s not getting up as Winn charges the ball”

shouldn’t that be “as the ball drops in front of Winn, he picks it up and…”

I can see the possibility of Doyle if healthy being in Seattle by June to help bolster a sagging bench.

I’m still amazed that Winn got an assist. I’d have thought the call for a Winn assist would go “And Calvin Pickering has tripped up on something between second and third — he’s not getting up as Winn charges the ball — Pickering is… he’s reading the newspaper! Valdez makes the tag!”
