Game 111, Devil Rays at Mariners
DMZ · August 7, 2006 at 6:29 pm · Filed Under Game Threads
There’s only one way the team can compete now. They must win and win and win. They must put together a long stretch of sustained success against every team they face, taking game and then series off divisional rivals and also-rans alike.
7:05, RHP Tim Corcoran versus LHP Jamie Moyer.

C’mon JI! I know you were hoping the kid would leap out of his seat and give MM a nice shove off of the wall
I’m surprised Rizzs didn’t say something about how much Lee loves to hit in Seattle.
DMZ — would you rather see a mix of Jones and WFB for the rest of the year? Snelling is the only other possibility. I know Snelling wouldn’t be a good fit in center, but it’s the best option we have for now. It gets Jones back where he belongs and it gets Snelling MLB at-bats.
What a cannon on Kenji to almost nail the lighting quick Lee…sigh
“lightning” that is
How long’s it been since Johjima got somebody at 2nd base? My memory fails.
Lee loves to run here, too!
You’re being obtuse and I’m not going to argue with you. He *can’t* play center. This isn’t a question of “is he the worst of n options”. He’s not on that list of n options. He cannot play center field in the major leagues.
Upton SHOULD be completely overmatched here
Meanwhile JJ’s letting the game dangle by a thread here.
I assume he knows that there’s no reason to throw Johnny “Dave Kingman” Gomes a strike here. The man is a free swinger who is 5-73 since the break.
Thou shalt not repeat thyself more than thrice, DMZ. Thou shalt save thy typing for more important work.
I wish he’d stop with that ‘in the dirt’ thing.
Mmm.. Dave Kingman. I happened across an annoyed sports column this week in which the writer argued how baseball’s stats were becoming meaningless because Kingman was moving towards some career milestones.
C’mon J.J.
Please?
This is scary.
And getting scarier.
As Putz matches his walk total for the season…well you know what I mean. With first base open, I still don’t think it was the worst thing to see if he’d swing at something out of the zone with a rookie on deck.
Marble — hold me 🙁
What the crap JJ, I gotta go to bed, finish this already!
Bases loaded. Must be time for Lowe.
urk.
Walking Gomes? C’mon.
Oh shut up Val.
Lets end this thing!
221. To quote the stoner on the Jack in the Box commercials, “That’s just what I was thinking!”
“maybe coming down to just one more pitch”
Hopefully not via offense!
phew
I don’t say this often.
Thank you Willie.
Gritty! That was some kind’a nasty catch!
Good to see someone ELSE screw the pooch with the game on the line…WHEW!
Sodo Mojo!!!!!!
Won’t be seeing JJ tomorrow night I guess. 60 pitches between last night and tonight.
Whew! Only one game back…of Texas.
The important thing is Mateo will be ready…in Grover’s blind eyes
Any word on if Cruceta is stepping in for Pineiro?
The cartoonist who drew Muhammed’s image was Danish, not Dutch.
235 – Where would you get that idea? The M’s seem to be pretty proud about only using 5 guys in the rotation. What would lead you to believe that they would stray from this?
236: You’re right, thanks for the correction!
FWIW, Hargrove pointed out that unfortunately they had to go to the bullpen early the last three games, hence his use of the available bullpen arms…
my, FSN is very very very interested in furthering the careers of the Sonics Dance Team and the SeaGals, aren’t they? Such altruism.
oh, and could we not have Matt Morrison speak off the cuff?
Or speak at all, for that matter.
DMZ, you are now my hero for using the word “obtuse” in a conversation. One of my favorite words to describe peoples’ tendencies in argument. Have you discovered the wonderful world of “disingenuous?” I find it great fun to accuse my friends of being disingenuously obtuse. (Usually it takes a few drinks before I start saying things like that though.)
On topic, is there anything JJ has been doing differently lately? He seems kind of shaky lately. Do y’all think it’s just hitters adapting to the splitter, or just not hitting the strike zone as much, or….? ???
Be careful, calling the wrong person “obtuse” can get you thrown in solitary confinement for two months.
I’m sorry, Jar (105): Inappropriate use of the word “Jesus” is not at all like using a racial slur against Jews. Not showing proper deference to a person’s beliefs is quite a bit different than denigrating a person based on their ethnicity.
The closest parallel would be spelling out “God” (or even worse the hebrew letters, if your keyboard produces them), which is considered sacriligious by the more orthodox practitioners of the Jewish religion. (“Hashem” means “He who shall not be named” roughly.)
It’s not the Lord Voldemort, it means ‘the name’
Well, if you can find me someone to worship who’s equally devoted to destroying that whiny Potter kid, let me know and I’ll sign up. Man, that guy grates. “Oooooh, tests are too haaaard” “Ooooooh, Snape gave me detention for sleeping in claaaaaaas.”
242, what do you mean?
