Game 59, Royals at Mariners
RHP Mike Wood v RHP Gil Meche. 7:05, FSN. What a nice night for a game (at least until it gets horribly cold, anyway).
Standard defensive alignment and Beltre’s sticking to that #2 slot in the order.
So today’s fun note: I often mentally play a game when I compare lineups, which is “would I swap players?” For the Royals, there’s almost no one.
DeJesus for Reed – no
Graffanino for Lopez – no
Mienkiewicz for Sexson – I’ve never been a big fan of Sexson’s contract’s huge back end, but straight up? Nah.
Sanders for Ichiro! – no
Stairs for Everett – yes, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Wonder Hamster, and my personal aversion to Everett’s well known.
Costa for Ibanez – no
Teahen for Beltre – it would get us out of Beltre’s contract, and yet no
Berroa for Betancourt – no
Buck for Johjima – no
And a lot of those are laughable comparisons. Okay, so then I thought about the Tacoma Rainiers… and I *still* wouldn’t trade most of the Rainiers for their KC equivalent player. That’s sad.

Things could be worse. Our first baseman could have been on a record-setting triple crown tear, only to tear something else. As it is, we can hope Sexson is getting it together and may start to overperform to pull his numbers up to expectations. Beltre too.
Hey, the game hasn’t started, and it’s against KC. I’m allowed to be optimisitic for 10 minutes here, ok?
Ichiro was named player of the week. Will that shut them up about Pineiro?
At this point I’d be real tempted by a DeJesus/Reed swap.
I’d trade Reed for Dejesus, and I’ve been a pretty big supporter of Reed through his struggles. Dejesus, though, only 26, hit .293/.359/.445 last year, solid defender. He is what we hope Reed becomes.
I would at least think a while on Reed-for-DeJesus. And I love Reed. Or his upside, at least. Throw in Bobby Keppel, maybe.
Yep yep, we are playing KC tonight and between Travis Snider and Tim Lincecum the first round of the draft tomorrow should have a good local flavor.
What could be an interesting exercise is to try the trade game after the AAA All-Star teams are announced, and then look at how many of those players were freely available, or practically freely available over the off-season.
Of course, if I was in charge of the Royals, I would trade Justin Huber straight-up for Doug Mientkiewicz (Golden Glove and all), but apparently the Royals would rather stunt Huber’s development on the bench.
Wow, I just looked up DeJesus’s contract and you guys are right. He’s signed through 2011 for not much money (2010 is $4.7m, club option for 11 at $6m). I thought he had a much heavier deal for some reason.
Those with MLB.TV or Extra Innings might want to check out the last few innings of the Cubs-Astros game before the M’s game gets into full swing.
Just check out a line score to see why, and I’ll say no more.
I enjoyed that swap post… I’d enjoying seeing that regularly with the different clubs.
Dave, draft query while you’re aboard … what think you of Jim Callis’ projection today on Baseball America? (I’m amazed that he has Lincecum slipping to No. 15):
“5. Mariners. Seattle has been tied to Hochevar since even before he officially re-entered the draft, but the club says that was never the case. The Mariners will take a college pitcher, with Morrow the frontrunner and North Carolina righthander Daniel Bard the backup choice. Washington righthander Tim Lincecum, the local favorite who was getting play as a possible No. 1 choice a month ago, appears to be no better than the third option.
Projected Pick: Brandon Morrow, rhp, California.”
I’m amazed that he has Lincecum slipping to No. 15
Wasn’t the word on this year’s draft that no one had any idea what was going to happen? The only thing I’m counting on is that no one will be swapping draft picks with anyone else. And, I suppose, that Miller goes in the top 5.
Yeah, and Callis admits he doesn’t know, either. I’m just making conversation.
Dave said it was pretty much a 3-way toss-up among Hochevar/Scherzer/Morrow. FWIW, SI’s mock draft has them taking Hochevar (with Bard getting picked by the Pirates ahead of them). As Dave said, it’s a crap shoot and crazy up-down motion of picks is normal.
Here’s the thing with Lincecum – there are just so many red lights you have to overlook to pick him. Teams that hate high pitch counts will be scared off by him. Teams that hate short right-handers will be scared off by him. Teams that hate guys who can’t throw strikes will be scared off by him.
Put those three things together, and that’s almost every club in major league baseball. Good luck finding a club that doesn’t mind bad command, high pitch counts, and a slender build on a high draft pick.
I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t go in the first round. He could easily be this year’s Hochevar, where no one likes him enough to pull the trigger.
Wow, looks like Beltre has forgot hot to field too… thats comforting. I would hate to think that he only forgot how to hit for average and power
but I guess Johjima has forgot how to play defence too so maybe it’s contageous
DMZ – Extending the Swap Game – what about the pitchers?
Dave, you didn’t get into Morrow in a lot of depth in your draft thread. All things being equal, if you’re Bob Fontaine, do you take him over Scherzer or Hochevar if all three are available at No. 5?
16 – Yeah, Beltre has really been terrible at third. A real weak link defensively.
And he’s been hitting pretty well lately, too.
Yea. I like Morrow more than the popular opinion seems to. You could make a good case that Morrow is this year’s Justin Verlander.
Bunting in that situation … AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
Anybody else on EI having the game blacked out for no apparent reason???
There goes the no hitter. Guess I can switch back.
23 – i’m getting it on 651 – FSNW on EI.
Are you F**ing kidding me?
Has a manager ever been fired during a game?
I got a blank screen…f’in a
Wow the stats for the Royals pithers are bad!
re the draft: I have this strange feeling our pick will be Morrow too. I also think someone will go for a HS player like Clayton Kershaw or a position player like Longoria before our pick. I just wish we would get Miller! Failing that I would be happy with Max Scherzer as well.
Good grief, Gil.
We don’t really think Hargrove actually called for that bunt, do we? I just assumed Jose was being sneaky.
Otherwise…. Jesus.
Gil Meche, groundout machine.
Raul Ibanez was hung-over! Ha ha ha ha ha, that’s awesome.
Maybe some of the bench guys should liquor up the starters every so often so they can get in a game every now and then.
Does Carl Everett believe in DeJesus?
[you're/your]
Did they really say Raul was hung over? Because that’s what I suggested in the game thread yesterday (“flu-like symptoms” indeed) but — mostly — in jest…
That’s what flu-like symptoms means. It’s baseball code.
personally, I always wear my WWDJD bracelet…
Does Carl Everett believe in DeJesus?
That makes me think they should use “Muddy Jesus” as Everett’s theme song.
There’s a reason why I chose a career where I’m isolated from broad social contact and interact, primarily, with other cynical people.
What’s the code for when they have flu-like symptoms?
Then they say they have the flu. Or just a fever.
Have the broadcasters called this a “pitcher’s duel” yet?
What’s the over/under on how many times Valle mentions the phrase “up in the strike zone” tonight?
FWIW, Drayer has just said flu, not flu-like….
breaking news– the Mariners will go for a college pitcher with their first draft pick.
my word, Reed can’t hit, he doesn’t walk, he can’t field… why is he out there again? Oh yea, potential. I thought that’s what aaa is for.
Happy Birthday, Kelli’s Mom!
more breaking news, it was Ichiro! who won the MLB Player of the Week… and Red still hates the idea of a baseball draft!
I wish hitting was as contagious as the flu or flu-like symptoms.
Didn’t Morrow have injury problems the last year or two? IMO I’d be comfortable with the M’s making a 1st round pick from among Miller/Reynolds/Lincoln/Lincecum (yes, even with the many, many red flags). I’m not a fan of Hochevar or Morrow.
In the end, if we end up with Morrow, I’d shrug and be fine with it.
Also, the longer than usual silences from Niehaus/Vallue indicates even they can’t find anything interesting to discuss about this game.
I’d trade reed for dejesus in a heartbeat….it would be like getting two players for one….. no more WFB in center….
Also, the longer than usual silences from Niehaus/Vallue indicates even they can’t find anything interesting to discuss about this game.
sadly, on the radio side it means Rizzs is chattering even more.
the PI and the Times both have their Lincecum pieces today; Greg Bishop in the Times discusses why Lincecum’s draft status is so uncertain, while Dan Raley in the PI is oddly obsessed with Tim’s crappy truck.
dang. the PI article is here; Bishop did a fair amount of looking into the subject … “It’s a weird situation,” [Kevin]Goldstein said. “Everyone likes him, but it’s hard to find teams that are that attached to him. He seems like a lot of teams’ second choice, and they might all get the guy they want in the first place.”
oh for petesake. That was the Times link, again. here is Raley’s Car Detailing.
Ok so EI randomly put the game on now when I checked again…hurrah!
huh, I’m kinda supprised to see Richie get doubled up… he should be glossed Flash
has this been called a pitching duel, yet?
when is carl everett going to explode??? I’m getting impatient.
DeJesus for Reed – no brainer, yes
Graffanino for Lopez – no
Mienkiewicz for Sexson – yes… oh God yes
Sanders for Ichiro! – no
Stairs for Everett – yes, any day
Costa for Ibanez – no
Teahen for Beltre – absolutly, no equivocation, definatly! PLEASE TAKE HIM. I’d trade Beltre for Roger Dorn, OLE!
Berroa for Betancourt – no
Buck for Johjima – no
by the way, why isn’t Morse playing center yet? his 500 obp isn’t as good as Reed’s 200?
“pitching duel” check
lol Lauren
I’d rather hear Carl go off about how the US never landed on the moon and dinosaurs never existed… and about how black history month is the shortest month of the year, CONSPIRACY
But it’s good to see Gil’s deuce has awoken from the dead
A split in this series would really be lousy. Sure, our winning percentage would still have gone up, but we wouldn’t gain anything on getting back to .500. We only play the Royals so many times during the season, so we better not waste this.
See – Sexson should bunt, even if in haste, I am grammatically challenged from the second inning…
I know, you can’t do that unless you bat second, or don’t have the title slugger attached to your (not you’re) name
as long as the M’s demand to put an error machine at the 3rd they should at least put Morse out there, at least he gets on base
Man i remember last week there would be around 400 comments per game know there is a just a little more then 100!
I will heretofore refer to Mike Hargrove as Bunty McBunt.
Hargrove must be thrilled.
[their/they're]
I think you mean hereafter, unless you’re going back in time. Which wouldn’t be a bad idea for a number of reasons. You might want to try 1995; I understand that was a fine season.
#66 I too will use Bunty McBunt.
Running the same exercise with Rainiers-for-Royals, since Derek suggested it:
DeJesus for Jones – no way, I might do Reed but not this
Graffanino for Garciaparra – what, and deprive Jim Thomsen of his favorite player? (seriously, as unlikely as it seems that he will ever resemble his brother, no)
Mientkiewicz for Sears – yes
Sanders for Bohn – yes
Stairs for Snelling – no
Costa for Choo – why not? Costa is about as good as Choo will ever get
Teahen for Brown – no
Berroa for Youngbauer – yes (but not for Asdrubal)
Buck for Quiroz – like Costa/Choo, you’re talking about more or less the same player
#69 I’m amazed there isn’t there hasn’t been a “5 year celebration” of the 2001 season.
68 they do, grammar – see post 34.
We aspire to many levels and variations of literacy here. I think Deanna once commented that Chaucer was winning.
If you consider their contracts, I would have to trade away Beltre and Sexson. I am assuming that we would sign some more valuable free agents with the money saved …
…umm, on second thought, keep them.
[capitalization]
whoa, the M’s running themselves out of an inning! I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it
DMZ, could you add a new button that automatically inserts “Aggressive baserunning!” into the message? That would save us a lot of time.
See. Told myself so
#77 agreed
that nicked him
Moyer looks more like a bowler than he does a ballplayer.
I’m starting to think it would be more fun to watch them bowl than play baseball.
wow another blown call just like last night
I guess that wasn’t last night sorry
you know what they say about gift horses…
[sentence on grammar not ended with punctuation mark]
I shouldn’t post while I eat ice cream lol
I’m sorry but are we currently getting shut out by the f’in Royals????
[capitalization, misuse of compound word]
Valle just said “Established pattern for the type of first pitch”
Where is Dave he would mention Felix and the fastball lol
88.- Welcome to 2006 Mariners Baseball!
Heh, some nights the best part of reading a game thread are DMZ’s hilarious [comments] on deleted threads. The all-time great, of course, being ‘I know this is off topic, but: [deleted - off topic]‘.
better than getting stomped by the f’in Royals
Angels got shut out today; that’s always nice to see!
[lack of capitalization]
The all-time great, of course, being ‘I know this is off topic, but: [deleted - off topic]’
I think I prefer “This is on topic [deleted - off topic].
go for the bunt!
Time from showing bunt to Rizzs praising the bunt in the #2 spot: under 1s.
Wow.
dammit valle.
Guardado’s billiards prowess was way more exciting than Ichiro’s double.
dammit beltre.
@#*(!ing aggressive baserunning!
Well Grover, that gives us a headache too.
[deleted, faking comment editing]
“and now the tying run is on at first base”?
[yes]
could you add a new button that automatically inserts “Aggressive baserunning!†into the message?
You could create a keyboard short cut for it or something.
Jose!
Just cost Lopez an RBI
109- Beat me to it!
Hey DMZ, can you delete posts with “lol” while you’re at it? Thanks.
vote for pedro, err jose
[error:sentence ratio exceeded 1:1]
[for you maybe]
Yeah, because the Mariners are doing so well that we need to have every out on our radar.
#96 – D’oh! That’s what I was thinking of, but I typed ‘off’ rather than ‘on’.
D’oh again, !
I guess I use lol too much, sorry. I am new and just getting the hang of this.
A tougher question is this:
Do you swap Beltre for Alex Gordon?
It’s not just you, m-bot. It is a CREEPING PLAGUE that threatens to take over all of USSM!
the error to sentence ratio was 1:2, DMZ.
Oh, so who’s going to bust loose with Gobble jokes?
ya y r u messn wit da speln lol?!!!!one11
No it wasn’t.
This is the Kansas City Royals of Game Threads.
Yes; it was.
I had an extra r in “hard.”
Unless you are also counting the arguable lack of hyphen in “nazi like,” as well.
I chat on yahoo and also use TTY so I get lazy Lauren. I agree it isn’t good to use it.
I’m thinking of moving over to a Kansas City Royal game thread. This one is too heavily policed. It’s like underage drinking in the Wal-Mart parking lot at noon on a saturday.
Raul comes through!!!! Cuz we know Sexson would’nt have!
I knew it! We are better than the Royals!
Thank God. Getting shut out by the Royals was getting embarrassing.
125.- Or the lack of capitalzation in ‘nazi’.
I don’t believe the word “nazi” deserves the respect of capitalization.
Fine, run wild, turn this place into the PI blog comments. Knock yourself out. I give up policing and trying to meta-police in a humorous way. Have fun!
Dang, my keyboard shortcut doesn’t seem to work.
Single in two runs + Get picked off = High Fives
127.- What site’s the equilevent of U.S.S. Mariner for KC? It would be pretty entertaining to read their game threads.
YES!!!!!!!1111
HUMER IS THE STOPPPD!!!!!
I WUN!!!1111111
Why, exactly, are Sexson and Beltre still hitting higher than seventh and eighth, repectively? The only difference with Beltre in the two hole is that he keeps rallies from starting instead of killing them.
I know there are good baseball players in there trying to get out. Until they do they ride pine or hit low in the order on Team Shortbus.
I’m bored with ranting about Hargrove’s aggressive baserunning and bunting. What are the other reasons he should be fired? Can we come up with a top-50 list?
DMZ, don’t let it come to that. Just ban everyone and sort it out later.
137 KC had to shut down their equivalent due to fan shame. (That was a joke)
Hmmmmm… hopefully that doesn’t happen to the USS Mariner
“It’s like underage drinking in the Wal-Mart parking lot at noon on a saturday.”
See, this is what we are missing with the death of the corco-blog.
USSM is here to stay, even if we have to pay the authors 200 thousand dollars/yr + health insurance + company car.
the corco blog still exists, man.
141.- I know I’d be too ashamed to post on a KC blog every day… or maybe to depressed.
A tougher question is this:
Do you swap Beltre for Alex Gordon?
How is that a tougher question?
Wow. Stairs looks like he shouldn’t be able to make it to third from first. Unless he’s rolled there.
Who do you think would win a foot race between Richie “Flash” Sexson and Matt Stairs?
My money is on Sexson but that Stairs sure can waddle.
148: Edgar Martinez.
I hope there isn’t a play at the plate. Johjima will be squished by Stairs.
Why is Meche in this long?
I swap Beltre for Alex James, who bags groceries at a market in Anchorage
148.- I don’t know but that brings up this question: who do you think would be the most entertaining people in baseball to see race? And by entertaining I mean really funny.
Edgar, now they’re was a burner
Dmitri Young vs. anybody.
I wouldn’t swap Beltre for my puppy, well maybe on days where she messes in the house.
Kruk v Babe
Carl Everett chasing Ty Cobb
I want to see Randall Simon run in the Milwaukee sausage race.
154 Frank Thomas and Edgar in a relay versus Mo Vaughn and John Kruk
Beltre playin chicken with that train out behind the Safe… I’d like to see any of these
160 and 161, that is hillarious!
Do you guys know if Felix is gonna pitch agenst the Dodgers? I live in soCal so I don’t get to see many M’s games and I REALLY wanna see Felix bat.
How about Benson chasing WFB after he caught him hitting on his wife?
165- That would be bad.
How bout C-Rex vs Barney?
If they pitch Eddie in the 8th or 9th I may hang myself
I’d like to see a relay, Carl Everett and Barry Bonds, vs. John Rocker and A.J. Pierzynski.
Randy Johnson vs. Bud Selig
Do you guys know if Felix is gonna pitch agenst the Dodgers?
Following the current rotation schedule, no. You’d have to get down to San Diego on the 23rd.
I’d like to chase Benson’s gold digging wife
168.- And maybe a team of Bengie Molina and C.C. Sabathia also.
OHHHH! How did I forget Captain Cookies
154. Any baseball race would have to involve Ken Crazylegs Harvey.
They have all those offseason stuff for football, players playing softball, obstacle course and whatnot. They should do that for baseball.
I would pay money to watch Bengie Molina try to navigate an obstacle course.
175- It would be more fun to watch him navigate the catering table.
All time? Mo Vaughn v. Tony Gwynn.
This year? David Ortiz v. C. C. Sabathia
They need to make ‘pitcher racing’ into an event during the all star weekend. AL vs NL with the heaviest from each side racing, the lightest 2 racing, exc.
Anybody on here watch “Lost”? For some reason Soriano reminds me of Mr. Eko
176.- Navagate? More like devour the whole thing.
I didn’t think this thread could possibly get worse. Come back DMZ, please!
I think the trick to running fast is motivation. If you threw a ham sandwich out there as an incentive Sabathia might surprise you with a burst of speed.
182.- Haha, maybe the Jay’s 1st base coach should stand at 1st with a plate of cookies whenever Molina comes up to bat.
Sorry rd no more posts from me. This is my first time really posting and it is the worst thread ever. I think I better go back to lurking.
it’s not even funny off topic, or humourous. it’s just stupid off topick junque.
Maybe things would be funner if we actually posted on the game.
This thread isn’t that bad, would you really want us to spend 200 comments talking about THIS game?
You’re not really the problem, mandy bot. Certain others degraded it, and then it turned into all-out chaos.
Soriano…
Soriano is a stud.
Glad I picked him up again for my fantasy team. I drafted him, dropped him for some reason and just picked him up again today.
Soriano is good.
I believe we have dodged the bullet – Guardado will remain seated in the pen where he does us the most good.
Within the last half hour, this site began misbehaving on my computer. Whenever I Refresh in IE, I get the message saying that I have to Retry. Other sites are OK. Whassup with that?
This thread is still a heck of a lot more fun than my soccer game tonight…
Or moving house over the weekend…
Or my friend’s abcessed tooth…
Is the idea of trying Soriano in as a starter again a dead issue. Should it be?
With everyone going for a bunt these days… has anyone ever bunted a double?
Dancing Queen?
Is the idea of trying Soriano in as a starter again a dead issue.
Bavasi said no before the season. I think they still want to see him put in some time as a reliever, what with the arm surgery and all, before potentially stretching him back out.
Is the idea of trying Soriano in as a starter again a dead issue. Should it be?
I’d imagine it’s dead for this year. In his case especially you’d need to stretch him out to that length again, which would really need a good full spring training. Maybe next year or the year after, when rotation spots are vacated by Moyer, Pineiro, or Meche.
ABBA?
Prediction:
When Snelling gets called up and plays his first game, he’ll be given the bunt sign.
Maybe try to stretch Soriano out in winterball, or is that too many innings on the surgically repaired arm?
Personally, I don’t mind him gunslinging in relief if he’s gonna be this money.
Putz, Soriano, Sherill = get’r'done of the future.
Yeah, my mlb.tv feed is acting up too. I’m guessing they are running it off a 386 server based on anticipated demand for the game.
Lopez is pretty much the only thing that keeps me watching this team…
Nice cut by J-Lo.
Oh no…keep this a save situation or we might hafta see Eddie :-/
If there was an award for “shifting gears” (adjusting oneself in public) – maybe the “Golden Cup”? – Carl Everett would win it hands-down. (bad pun, true statement)
Is anyone else having trouble with the radio broadcast of the game? It keeps cutting out on me. Only for a second or so but it’s getting annoying.
Still a save situation.
Yes, the radio isn’t working right.
Why would it be so hard to start stretching out Soriano right now? He’s still got two-thirds of a season left — it’s not like this is August for gosh sakes! If Putz is for real (and by all accounts and statistical analyses, he does seem to be just that), then keeping Soriano as a relief ace seems a little superfluous to me. Unless they used him as a 2-3 inning guy, like a Santana or Liriano, then it seems silly to keep him in the pen with Putz doing so well. At least TRY him as a starter, right? Anyone with me?
“Personally, I don’t mind him gunslinging in relief if he’s gonna be this money.
Putz, Soriano, Sherill = get’r’done of the future.”
Agreed. No doubt that’s a formidble bullpen . . . but I do wonder how a year or two down the road a 1-2 punch of Felix and Soriano might look.
Either way, I’m glad he’s back to his old self. He helps no matter where they put him.
Matt Stairs: First Runner-Up, Hack Wilson Lookalike Contest.
Wow, putz is money.
Good new: Val said “rep-uh-twa”
More good news: Apparently “2-out hitting is good hitting.” Who knew?
Jeez, I can’t get a reliable box score anywhere. Gameday has it 5-0 Royals, and ESPN has it 3-0 Royals.
Deep analysis from Kruger. Of course he forgot a few things. KC hits likes a AA team and the best thing Meche did tonight was keeping his pitches down. It wasn’t starting batters off with off speed stuff, it was keeping his pitches low.
Bad news: no more KC for three months.
Still wonder whether they should have used Guardado once it switched to a three-run lead. He’s bad but it takes a lot for the Royals to score three runs in one inning, and this way Putz is fresher for tomorrow
On the radio postgame show, they were talking to Putz when Raul could be heard yelling “Go J.J.” and other such things to make fun of him. J.J. responded by saying, “Raul had diarrhea last night, that’s why he’s so happy tonight.” Absolutely hilarious.
218: As much as I, logically, agree with you I think we both know that those could easily become famous last words.
HELP – I was tracking this game all night, and was feeling good about (?) a 4-1 Mariner win! Yet MLB.com shows 5-0 Royals suddenly (with a seemingly legit box score to back it up) and Yahoo! Sports shows 4-3 Mariners. Have I tapped in to a parallel universe? If so, is it really parallel, or just tangential? Didn’t Jose Lopez hit 2 doubles? Or did he hit into 2 double-plays?
On the road, and restless in DC.
“Raul had diarrhea last night, that’s why he’s so happy tonight.â€Â
Dang, we could have used the runs yesterday.
221: Hmm, does Mike Hargrove’s profile pic have a goatee?
Mariners site seems to be correct. 4-1 win. Lopez good night.
Hargrove is his own evil twin, no facial hair required.
Well, aside from the win, the best thing to come out of this thread is the shared knowledge that the KOMO AM feed is crapping out intermittently. I’ve been rearranging every item in my kitchen capable of creating RF interference in an effort to stop it. Now I know it’s not just me.
Thank you USS Mariner.
OK. MLB.com shows 4-1 Mariners again. I am going to bed, comforted.
But I SWEAR it showed 5-0 Royals, with KC scoring 3 in the 6th and 2 in the 8th, with the last 1.5 innings showing “x”, like the Mariners abstained from their last 2 innings, just because they didn’t want to embarass themselves even more. It even said ‘Beltre grounds out softly to short’ for the last out.
I gotta find another hobby…
ESPN has it that the M’s lost too. Wierd.
Knock on wood while I type this – The matchups for the next six games look pretty good for the M’s if we can take 4 or 5 of them that series against Oakland is going to be really interesting.
Holy Crap this FSN interview with Meche SUCKS!
Please let this Rohn interview be a planned intro of him to Ms fans…..
Putting an end to this cursed game thread.
