Just to close out this whole sorry thread… sorry about the lack of punctuation and capital letters in my last two or three posts. I was letting my 9-year-old type my posts while I was eating my burrito (I’m NOT making this up). Apparently I need to speak to him about USS Mariner etiquette, and also about that sorry excuse for a fourth-grade teacher he has.

Still, though, I liked the Ginsburg comment. We have some literate readers/writers on this blog! Nice. I loved 221′s post about the Native American curse, but I think it would have been much better if it lacked punctuation and capital letters.

And as far as the Ms: Is it too early to give up on the playoffs? I think not.

ah, Gil.

so, what is it so far — A Promise finally fulfilled? A fluke? A guy who put his personal problems behind him, by throwing it all into his work?

Going back to the post and Baker using OBP I'd like to point out that Jim Street critizises the batters lack of patience against Colon in his game summary. I'd say he's onto something there.

Countdown to Hargrove and Bavasi’s asses getting shit-canned 5…4…3…2….1….

Wow our 5-3 record seems like an eternity away

#243: hahaha, that Gil Meche shutout would certainly follow that golden rule of former Mariners coming back to bite us in the butt.

Heck, even Jeff Cirillo and Al Martin have come back to Safeco and hit home runs against us in games.

#242: I don’t know how after Hargrove gets fired why anyone would call Bavasi a genius for something that needed to be done last August.

Although certainly getting him fired would be a step in the right direction. It should definitely be interesting to see what happens if this losing streak gets up to 8, 9, or 10 games (right now we are at 5). . .

OK, best case scenario, five more consecutive losses, Grover melts down in post game press conference, gets fired. What’s not to like about that?

With Weaver going tomorrow, and cannon fodder brought up for Monday, we’re pretty sure the next two are going down, while even if Washburn pitches well on Tuesday, it will only be to see the ubiquitous Mateo come in and blow the game.

Follow that with two mandatory losses at Oakland and we’re there.

If that’s not enough, maybe a sweep at Safeco by KC will seal the deal, capped by a Gil Meche shutout on Sunday.

One more nail in Hargrove’s coffin. I didn’t see the game, but I’m comfortable in saying so, because it’s Bavasi that holds all the cards. At some point Bavasi will jettison Hargrove in hopes of a turnaround that makes him look like a genius, masking his craptastic effort at constructing a lineup and rotation.

I think that comes from bad management as well

Ramirez and Mateo just aren’t very good.

Is it true, I heard Sims say that this was the very first pinch hit grand slam in Mariner history? Can that be true?
