Further proof of Bavasi’s power

DMZ · June 6, 2008 at 7:13 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

GM call-out = winning (for short periods of time) though interestingly, this time he was able to incite both the offense while still managing run suppression. Good work, Bill! No towels for anyone!

    Who knew that all the M’s needed to do to turn the season around was throw out

  2. DMZ on June 6th, 2008 7:20 pm

    (fixed)

    Great game. GO FELIX!!!!

  4. matthew on June 6th, 2008 7:35 pm

    Something tells me that everyone waited to blow up until Felix was set to start the next game…

  5. DMZ on June 6th, 2008 7:36 pm

    That is a deeply cynical thing for you to even think. How dare you.

  6. ManageWA on June 6th, 2008 7:39 pm

    cynicism and USSM do not go hand in hand. Where are the e-gallows?

  7. Mr. Egaas on June 6th, 2008 7:52 pm

    I could go for some Doyle about now.

    Tomorrow is another day, and Batista is another pitcher.

    I still think the road trip has to be well two series wins or the ax falls. I’m encouraged by Sexon starting to hit a little bit, but I don’t think its enough.

    Outperforming expectations is very easy for this team right now. One swallow does not a summer make.

    OK, I can live w/o my towel but I insist on my buffet…

    factoid from cbs sportsline recap

    Sexson had his first three-hit game since June 1, 2007. It was the first time he had three singles in a game since Sept. 25, 2006, against Oakland.

    the other blurb the announcers threw out, that was sexson’s first non-homerun rbi since the end of april.

    Lauren, I’m sorry for being so annoying.

  12. moosbrugger on June 6th, 2008 9:17 pm

    Chicks find overly-apologetic men annoying.

  13. Jeff Nye on June 6th, 2008 9:36 pm

    I just wanted to chip in to annoy Lauren, too!

  14. Lauren, token chick on June 6th, 2008 9:54 pm

    Y’all are really pissing me off. But only as much as I’m irritating myself. I guess I’m particularly sensitive today.

    How are people misspelling Sexson all the time, anyway? No second s?

  15. DMZ on June 6th, 2008 9:56 pm

    “Sexton” is remarkably common, as is “Ritchie”

  16. JMHawkins on June 6th, 2008 10:14 pm

    At the risk of annoying Lauren thusly, witholding towels at Fenway is probably not a big deal. I doubt they have hot water for the showers anyway. Or do the clubhouse kids heat it up in buckets over a smoldering charcoal fire?

  17. msb on June 6th, 2008 10:22 pm

    dang. I go to my eldest niece’s graduation, and so miss the chance to annoy Lauren?

    crap.

  18. Steve Nelson on June 6th, 2008 10:25 pm

    I can’t allow this fine opportunity to annoy Lauren to pass unexploited. Consider yourself exploited, Lauren, vicariously if necessary.

  19. msb on June 6th, 2008 10:32 pm

    btw, were all those Sox serving their suspensions today? Is that where the 8-0 comes in?

  20. Steve T on June 6th, 2008 11:05 pm

    thusly.

  21. praetor on June 6th, 2008 11:24 pm

    it’s a shame we weren’t able to get Kuroda, he would’ve been good for us

    H. Kuroda (LAD)
    9 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 11 K, Win

  22. Lauren, token chick on June 6th, 2008 11:48 pm

    Steve T–I was thinking of coming to the Slog Happy next week, so be prepared for my revenge.

  23. joser on June 7th, 2008 1:36 am

    Felix’s scoreless innings streak is now the longest by a visitor at Fenway since 1956.

    And apparently that annoyed Lauren too. And thusly.

  24. PaulMolitorCocktail on June 7th, 2008 1:37 am

    Bavasi and McLaren need to annoy Lauren by calling her out.

  25. SABRcat on June 7th, 2008 2:49 am

    I like annoying women. Particularly Laurens. Especially when the greatest pitcher is on the mound. YAY!

    I will take the brunt of Lauren’s wrath for a win on King Felix Day. Happily.

  26. SequimRealEstate on June 7th, 2008 5:34 am

    I Googled annoyed Lauren. Top two spots so far. Who is the other Lauren?

  27. Ollie in Raleigh on June 7th, 2008 7:29 am

    wow don’t you ever take recess?

  28. 116in01 on June 7th, 2008 7:34 am

    An annoyed Lauren…

  29. JerBear on June 7th, 2008 9:29 am

    I don’t think you can entirely attribute this win to Bavasi. Clearly it has something to do with Mac’s ingenious baseball strategery!

    “That is something we talked about in Spring Training,” McLaren said. “That’s what we want to do — jump early, get our pitchers some runs and then add on as the game goes on. You look at most of our wins, we’ve done that. It’s a good strategy; you just got to do it.”

    Scoring runs – repeatedly – to win the game?!? Brilliant!!!

    I try to give the headline writers over at seattlemariners.com a break, because it’s thankless work these days, but “Mariners in search of best spots for starters,” under a picture of Batista caused me to snort like a hyena.

    The Kansas City Royals’ rotation?

    Their couch?

    Under the pile of towels in the locker room corner?

    (Sorry to annoy you, Lauren. I bet all these referencing is annoying too.)

  31. Steve T on June 7th, 2008 10:53 am

    My wife confirms that I am, in fact, the most annoying person in the history of the world. It’d be an honor to annoy you in person at Slog Happy.

    I assume the Mclaren comment simply truncated “…and so on and so forth…”, which would have provided even more clarity to the strategy.

    Can lauren annoy herself?

  34. galaxieboi on June 7th, 2008 1:18 pm

    Can lauren annoy herself?

    Ha. I know I annoy myself all the time. So, I’m sure it’s possible.

  35. Lauren, token chick on June 7th, 2008 4:21 pm

    It is in fact extremely frequent.
