Game 66, Mariners at Athletics
DMZ · June 13, 2006 at 6:30 pm · Filed Under Game Threads
LHP Jamie Moyer v RHP Joe Blanton.
This series is going to be an interesting test. The M’s may have played better than their record, but if they want to move up in the division, they’re going to need to climb over the A’s and Texas. Getting wins here would be big. Can the pitchers continue their success against a team that so far is even worse offensively than the Twins? Can they keep hitting against a staff way, way better than Angels, the Royals, or the Twins?
Blanton vs the M’s so far this year: 2-0, 1.20 ERA, 15 IP, 9H, 0 HR, 1 BB, 8 K.
Moyer vs. the A’s so far: 0-2, 6.17 ERA, 11.2 IP, 17 H, 1 HR, 4 BB, 8 K.

Based loaded nobody out in the 9th. Now you *know* we’re going down.
Ok, please let us not blow this. PLEASE!
Can this be? Basebs loaded, no outs?
Anyone remember that 1-0 game the M’s won agaisnt the A’s a couple years back by a balk from Duscherer?
HBP? wow, is Lopez turning into Carlos Baerga? God, I hope not.
#94 – What about pitching?
One down, two to go.
Called 3rd strike on Raul. That’s one down.
Yes, it’s 2-0. ESPN programmers got it wrong (again).
Are we trying to set a record for bases loaded/ no out futility?
Thanks for the correction.
crap. crap. crap.
104- hm. that’s a tough one. what good would Blanton be on the Mariners if he can never pitch AGAINST the Marienrs?
Well, I predicted 3 ks. that stil can happen (oh, please score ONE run).
Sexson has to be up next.
What are the chances of Sexson getting a hit?
Negative something?
#102 Of course I remeber that game. That’s when I learned about balks.
#108– haven’t they already done that?
“He’s got the bases drunk.” Don’t think I ever recall hearing that one before.
Sexson blows
two done one to go.
I’m sooo glad I turned this game on. So glad.
Sexon dives for one in the dirt. That’s 2 out.
Next. K. UGH.
Pitiful.
… sigh
why let Everett bat? why? WHY?
#111 – That’s very true. Can he pitch well against any other AL team? Or is it just us that he has figured out?
Game. Set. Match.
At least that was quick.
Well, our pitching was maintained, but we showed that we can’t hit “better” pitching.
#117. this is Huston Street, of course.
WHY?!?! What about bases loaded/no outs causes us to do this? It’s even affecting my softball team now. Sheesh.
Well, that 9th inning was especially painful to watch.
according to Yahoo!, Beltre was the ‘top batter’ of the game for the M’s.
How predictable.
And Carl is number 3.
2 hours and 6 minutes of Mariner fun. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go get mocked by my friends from the Bay area.
125, Blanton pitched his only CG SO against KC.
Why, oh why, did I turn the game on?!?
A fitting post-game commercial.
No, Richie. No you most certainly do NOT hit the ball a country mile.
#124– who are you going to have bat instead? (well, if you are Hargrove, of course)
That’s a depressing loss. And way too short of a game. I tuned it on while I was driving through Cottonwood and the game ended about 5 minutes after I checked into my hotel in Colfax. (on my way to Seattle)
We suck.
This one, with the tease in the ninth, was painful, but expected. Does this kind of ineptitude with the bases loaded happen to any other teams? It sure does not seem that way.
Who says baseball isn’t educational. I had no idea Colfax had a hotel.
remember how they used to say some Mariners had Safeco in their heads? I think this group of M’s have MacAfee in their heads– they just do nothing down here lately, and Moyer gave them as good as you’re going to get from him against Oakland, esp. in Oakland.
Red just helpfully let us know that Blanton is 2-6 with a .750 ERA against everyone not in a Mariner uni. so, how many points did his ERA drop after this game?
It’s a very nice Best Western.
138- The answer to that question is obvious.
WFB, of course. He would’ve provided a “gritty” two-run single, thus guaranteeing an extended streak of starting in CF, and the front office signing him to another extension….
Polish??? she was Angie Marzetta in her UDub/Silver Bullet days….
One would guess DMZ would post a meet Saturday or Sunday for newly graduated Mr Corcoran. UPS accepted Mr Corcoran really?
Okay. Honorary Polish Princess. Just vote.
I’m guessing none of the other eligible anchors were high-school linebackers, or led their NCAA division in stolen bases, or were the first Silver Bullet to charge the mound after being plunked by a pitch ….
I also don’t know any bars around here that are actually fun to watch the game at, and I refuse to go to Fox Sports
Well, I like to go hang at the bar at Maneki. They don’t have much of a TV, but where else can you sit with half a dozen tiny ancient Japanese ladies as they knock back beer and sake and cheer Ichiro (and curse the other team) in Japanese? It’s hilarious, even the bartender is a lady over 70. The sushi’s pretty good too.
