Baek vs Igawa, 4:05 pm.
RH no outpitch command guy vs LH no oupitch no command guy. Bombs away!
Richie isn’t going to be worth 14 mill this year, but he won’t be as bad has he has been so far this season. He really has been pretty unlucky, if you look at his babip it shows that.

Gotta say the Wii is a lot of fun…who cares if it doesn’t do HD? Graphics alone don’t make games fun…hell, how much fun were the original NES games back in the 80s? And they sure weren’t setting the world on fire graphically.

I have pretty much scared my wife away watching this game online (here in Oakland)…This has be a flat-out brawl, but if the Yankholes pull this out…Oh no…Giambi just loaded them up…

Whew.
26 runs total. That’s the most runs in a game I can remember in a long time.

Funny quote from the Boston play-by-play guys who must have been listening to/watching this game out of the corner of their eyes: “The Yankees don’t need a bullpen, they need a quarterback. Where’s Drew Henson when you need him?”
Hee-hee.
I hope I’m not laughing too soon. The M’s still have THREE more games with the Bombers.

So here’s a random question that is tempering my post-Yankee-beating euphoria, exactly why isn’t Moyer on our team right now? The whole thing about trading him seemed to be because he wasn’t pitching useful games for us and to give him a chance to win -all these things that seemed to suggest he was retiring, but he’s pitching for at least this year and next. Did we not realize we’d need pitchers this year? Could we not afford Moyer?

If, and that’s a gargantuan *IF* Weaver beats the Yankees tomorrow, more heads are most certainly going to roll in NY.

Think we could just spot the Yankees 6 and start the game in the 3rd inning and save Weaver the sore arm and embarrassment?
He was a FA that wanted to play on a contending team (sound like someone else on the M’s?)
So they gave him that opportunity. Its not like he couldn’t have re-signed with the Mariners if he had wanted to this past off season.
Karen on

I don’t know the answer to that, but he’s no-hitting the Giants right now (of course it’s still really really early in that game)…

that pretty much sums it up
and it means sometimes angry people do things like give my book crappy reviews.
well, he didn’t review the book so much as the reviewers …

I like the fact that Ichiro has taken 5 BB over the last 3 games. I hope to see more of that.
“Mariners manager Mike Hargrove wouldn’t comment on the makeup dates, but said he would start giving his regulars more rest. As an example, he said that third baseman Adrian Beltre and designated hitter Jose Vidro would not start Saturday’s 12:55 p.m. PT game against the Yankees in New York.”

Consequences of MLBtv, listening to so many different broadcasters bring their insight-
Giants broadcaster: (camera on someone in a Philly Schilling jersey, Phillies are in San Fran) It’s nice to see them come all the way out from Boston (with no hint of irony)
Arizona broadcasters are talking about Randy Johnson needing to pitch to contact.
Right, because what Jeff Weaver needs, when facing the best line-up in baseball, is for his gold glove third baseman to be sitting on the bench.
_David_ on
May 4th, 2007 8:41 pm
Beltre doesn’t hit nearly enough to win a gold glove.
Karen on
May 4th, 2007 8:42 pm
Oh, sure, take one of the guys who has an >.300 BA out of the game, and leave in the guy who is hitting .153 ’cause he just needs time to work it out. (ye gawds, if Sexson couldn’t get 3-4 hits in this blowout game, he never will)
At least Grover didn’t name Beltre, Vidro, AND Jojima.
——————
f/u to 473: Moyer has 2-hit the Giants through 5 innings now…
I think Grover is just punting the Saturday game, that is why he is willing to sit regulars. It doesn’t need to make sense.

“When you score 15 runs, you don’t expect the tying run to be at the plate in the ninth,” Hargrove said. “It’s like someone’s sticking bamboo shoots under your fingernails.”
WTF?

Since Jeff Weaver is pitching tomorrow, what are the chances that a Mariners regular player gets to pitch?
Willie Bloomquist mentioned that he wanted to get an opportunity to pitch in a game, since he has been tinkering with some pitches.
Tomorrow may be his day.

We’re the 5th best team in the AL. Holy Pot-Smoking Christ. I love the statistical analysis and Glavin and all…but is there any chance in God’s green earth that this is for real? By my calculations only four teams make it to the playoffs. So 5th place might as well be 15th place. As a total homer I have to ask…is there any chance we might really be one team away from the playoffs at year’s end? That’s like…nine teams closer than I expecte to be!

Ok, it’s way late and probably nobody is going to read this, but as if the game itself wasn’t bizarre enough:
Immediately after the last out I paid my check and walked out into Belltown. Walking down First Ave, I heard somebody say “Good game†to a guy walking towards me. I looked up, and did a double-take. Behind me, a guy said to his girlfriend: “You see that guy, with the bald head? He’s the Mariners’, uh….†and I said “He’s Bill Bavasi, General Manager for the Mariners.†No, I have no idea what he was doing walking by himself in scruffy jeans through Belltown. And no, I didn’t ask him whether there was any chance Morrow would ever be a starter.
Ok, it’s not quite as weird as the time I found myself talking about sports injuries with a random Australian guy at a bar, only to to eventually realize it was Snelling. But coming right on the heels of this game, it was kind of the perfect cherry on top of the crazy cake.

FWIW, pre-season on Moyer from Seattle and Philly
hey! Mike might have to use his bench!
