Tip of the cap to Mike Scioscia and the Angels. Better overall repeatable skill set, better preparation, better execution.

Time to focus on the Yankees and Tigers (or Indians), folks, because the Angels would have to collapse for the M’s to win this division. Let’s not kid ourselves.

Is that better?

First game I’ve had a chance to go to all season, since I live in Arizona. Thank you coach. Great way to manage that game. Lovely.

91 – Good one.

I wonder if Rick White has the complete set of Stylish-Yet-Toughâ„¢ Velcro goatees. Maybe next time he blows a critical game he can look extra-dapper in a Magic Magenta or Swingin’ Cyan piece.

88- Nice comment. Classic in my mind.

btw, what the hell was on Mr. Whiteâ€™s face? It looked like a brace of gerbils were attacking his lip.

That, my friends, was 100% 70′s Soviet-bloc bleach-bottle hooker muff.

Is Joe Girardi still available?

He’s still broadcasting, so apparently yes. Unfortunately, his strength (getting the most out of younger players) doesn’t match this organization (which tolerates them in as small numbers as possible, and only when a veteran is absolutely, completely, long past over the hill). He may also have better sense than to work for M’s; he got fired from his last managing job for pointing out, repeatedly and correctly, the failings of the organization he was in.

79 – I wonder if Bavasi even looked at Guillen’s splits?

.748 OPS against righties, who constitute 75-80% of pitchers, and who make up almost the entire complement of tough relievers he will ever see?

Meh.

You misspelled booze.

Of all the horrible things I witnessed last night, the one that caused the most severe intestinal cramping was seeing Rick White’s flaming, Bagwell-esque beard appear on the screen. I had to shake my head. Repeatedly. I had to re-focus my vision. I checked my glasses. I was in utter shock that they had brought this guy in. That he didn’t give up a salami is about the only positive one can take away.

Of all McLaren’s idiotic moves this season that has to be the capper – though he may yet outdo himself.

81 – The Mariners are actually a great fit for October play. This offense puts a ridiculous amount of balls in play. If we can just get even a little bit lucky and have those balls fall for hits then our offense is unbeatable.

Basically, over an short period of time this team has the potential to be as good as anyone in baseball.

On the flipside, we are prone to giant slumps. But if we can just make it there, I think we’ve got a decent shot at winning.

Plus, any World Series contender has to get a little bit luck, right?
