Let the battle of Washington baseball commence!
IT’S DICKEY TIME!
DICKEY DICKEY DICKEY DICKEY DICKEY
I R A DICKEY…
R U A DICKEY?
I just spit my beer, literally. Red with the giant Beltre bobblehead outside the stadium. And, bobbling his own head. Hilarious.
BOLD PREDICTION:
Dickey throws a NO-NO
The Nats without Zimmerman or Nick Johnson.
Snooooooooooze…
We should play “Would you swap ‘em?” with the Nats.
7 – Um, we already played that with them. Jose Vidro.
I like Dave’s reference to “summer just around the corner” as fans file in with giant coats on.
8 days to the solstice and people need overcoats? This year is just bad, bad, bad.
Let’s see:
Guzman (SS) – No.
Dukes (RF) – Maybe.
Milledge (CF) – Not right now, no.
Young (1B) – No.
Flores (C) – Don’t know anything about him.
Belliard (3B) – No, though I find it interesting Baby Manny is playing third.
Lopez (2B) – No.
Pena (DH) – Yep.
Harris (LF) – Nope.
I wouldn’t take Elijah Dukes. I do believe that Dave famously commented once: “Elijah Dukes doesn’t belong on a major league roster. He belongs in jail.” (Correct me if I’m wrong.)
New game to play from your comfortable couch: Follow the dancing knuckleball.
It’s like singing along with Krusty the Klown, but different.
12: I remeber that quote too, and I tend to agree with it whole heartedly.
Ichiro slowed up at second! He doesn’t hustle enough! What a quitter!
I’d swap Dmitri Young for our 1B. I’d swap Dmitri Young’s mom for our 1B. Either one of them.
game track showed that ball as over the fence.
It takes talent to walk Loafie.
Here’s our #3 hitter, we have hope! Wait…..
12… exactly why the Ms need him for that clubhouse spark, get a little action goin’ on in!
Wow, Dimitri Young is huge. Like, Bartolo Colon huge.
MLB Gameday: “Jose Vidro grounds out softly…”
It’s like it knows why we suffer.
Was that in Vidro fertilization?
Oh, dear. Tmesis, the whole room went dark for a second there. Nicely done!
What’s the PI headline tomorrow?
“Dickey not strong in start.”
“Nats smack around Dickey.”
“Dickey goes flaccid.”
bring in morrow, lets see what hes got!
“Dickey retreats in cold weather start”
“Tricky Dickey gets hickey”
“Dickey shrinks under pressure.”
No one is going to say that Adam could have caught that?
Dickey Blows!
NO I WANT MORROW!
Boy, it’s a good thing we have Baek–wait, what?
“Dickey comes out in the second…instead of going in in the second”
Well….. that was ugly.
another day, another loss, que sera sera
“Dickey has an early withdrawal”
so, I turned in as Blow opined that Dickey wasn’t happy with the strike zone– did he have reason to be ticked?
Yeah he got squeezed a few times but he mostly sucked.
question is, would batista have been better. The scary part is…we don’t know
There were a couple of borderline calls, but Dickey’s knuckler was all over the place tonight so it really didn’t matter.
Willie Bloomquist and Miguel Cairo are the only two untouchables on the roster, in my humble opinion.
Everyone else is fair game!
well, that was lame
I came back from a phone call and… this?
Fangraphs has the M’s with a WE of 7% still…..
It ain’t over till it’s over…..
…..unless you’re the Mariners.
ah well, Our Dominant Ace will shut them down tomorrow, right?
Vidro to the rescue! It’s rally killin’ time!
Looked like Dickey had no command over his balls tonight.
wonder what it’s like to watch your team actually do something with RISP?
Other than get quick outs with no runs, I mean.
According to MetsBlog, the Mets have acquired outfielder Trot Nixon from the D’Backs for a player to be named later or cash.
Wow, f’ing excellent Battlestar Galactica episode. Wow.
They showed Red on TV!
This is like a computer game where you don’t know what button to press to make the runner go another base.
The first game between “Washington” baseball teams ends up being bizarro. Of course.
doesn’t help that the home plate ump is a freaking oompa loompa… god this guy sucks
oh, for petes sake. even I could tell that was outside.
While the Sexon rang the dishrag, someone set the church on fire
Defeat from the jaws of victory…
well that was a momentum killer. who is the HP ump tonight?
Sexson K. Johjima GIDP. ???????????
Dammit, Kenji is just WEAK this year. He used to attack the ball. Now it seems like every swing is defensive.
Sorry, a technical error
I just tuned in at the end of this inning, but I swear I heard Niehaus say that was a good inning by Dickey … who according to the box score has been gone for at least an inning or two. Am I missing something?
at least we’re not saint louis
I’d rather be St. Louis for a day than Seattle for a season.
I’m recording the rest. Will watch at 3x speed later. Watching real-time… you just can’t get that time back.
I’m sure the emotions ran very similar with our season and their game. The first 3 runs (first month) you have hope that you can come back. Runs 4-7 (month 2) you start giving in to the inevitable, and just hope you can make it a little more interesting. After run 8 (Month 3), you just become curious to see how deep the shit pond really is.
Afer tonight St. Louis will be 40-29….give me 29, 20-2 losses anyday if you promise me 40 wins against it.
Aaron Miles pinch hit and pitched the last inning for SL.
At least we can still root for individual M’s… yay Beltre!
This game suddenly got interesting.
Are you all catching the multiple camera shots of Red and his “ultimate” Beltre bobblehead doll (quote courtesy Dave Sims)?
Dukes would fit right in he fields just like Raul. Nice read on that Kenji hit
HP ump is DJ Reyburn, who I believe is a vacation replacement. He also teaches at the Evan Ump Academy, and last year tossed Jeremy in AAA, per LL:
“The Rainiers had a rally going in the bottom 7th, as Oswaldo Navarro led off with a double, and Gookie Dawkins smoked a grounder up the middle to move him to 3rd. But Jeremy Reed got called out on a dubious strike three, and he took verbal umbrage with home plate umpire DJ Reyburn, who kindly threw him out of the game. Then it’s quite possible that Reyburn expanded his strike zone to the size of a pantry out of spite, as Adam Jones and WLAD both went down on strikes. What a striking coincidence.”
If the Nats would take Richie for D Young they should do it..
Can you imagine the eating contests that would happen between Young and Silva?
I just had a revelation. You know how we should have known this season wasn’t going to go according to plan? It freaking SNOWED on Opening Day…. inside the stadium. What more of an omen did we need than our warm day suddenly becoming snow?
The Chili’s ads are particularly funny, as a bunch of local Chili’ses all closed up in the dead of night, no notice to anyone.
I was wondering about that…walked by the one in Crossroads today and saw all the tables were dismantled.
We had Chili’ses in the area? I had no clue.
Now where will I go for over-priced, mediocre Amero-ethnic cuisine?
Oh yeah, about 10,000 other places.
BTW, my girl thinks I’m insane for spending 4 hours tomorrow inside on what might be the first nice day in a month so I can hear people talk about our wonderful team.
I was trying to remember what that space used to be, before the Chilis…
any one going to the game after, there is a food drive at Safeco– they’ll take donations of $ as well as goods
owwww.
I want to say it was a Mexican restaurant of some sort, but I really don’t recall.
Y’all made me so happy with those Dickey cracks. Awesome.
OMG, enazario, if only I could stick a “was” in there that would have been the best one of the bunch.
there you go Yuni lets get something going!!
Time for one of Ichiro’s patented “F this, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands” home runs.
please please send Ichiro
89 – you got your wish.
I keep mixing it up mentally with the way that section looked when it was the farthest reach of the mall …
Wow, talk about just missing it…
ladies and gents, your DH.
I’m really glad Lopez got that sac fly. His OBP has been creeping up lately.
One inning away from another patented Mariner ‘close, but no cigars’ loss.
Is that too negative?
I love me some Dmitri Young. ‘Specially in rundowns.
Local Chili’s restaurants close
They blame the slow economy. Who ever been to a Chili’s?
95 – that reminds me of the game in 96 where the A’s had a ten run lead after scoring 8 in the top of the 5th – McGwire hit two balls to the upperdeck in left in the same inning – and then the M’s scored 7 in the bottom of the inning. Twice we had the tying run on base but couldn’t score him. It was a microcosm of the season as the M’s were almost but not quite making up a 10 game deficit from the Rangers.
I am really tired of seeing our DH fly out a few steps short of the warning track.
Ibanez, Beltre, Sexson… How do you think the game will end? On a double play or a strikeout? Three years ago I would have liked our chances with those three due up in the 9th though.
richie, if you homer, all is forgiven.
doesn’t count richie, you’re still an ass
Well… I’m gonna go cry in the shower… again.
I have no clue why Richie is still here. Free Clement!!!
Clement had his 15 games to show if he was worthy of the majors or not….he’s much more valuable helping the PCL team win….
Maybe the M’s are secretly doing a run of Richie Sexson Bobble-Stance dolls.. and they don’t want to DFA him and lose their deposit.
Anyone got access to pitch f/x data right now for this game? I’d be interested to see what it has to say about what pitches got slapped around.
So I get the park, open up the bobblehead box, and look at bobblehead Beltre.
It’s, um, really white looking. I’d describe the skin tones as “peach.”
It’s kinda… weird-looking.
It’s time to sacrifice more flies
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
That’s what I kept telling myself, anyway.
Tough loss tonight. Hope this is the last time R. Dickey gets us into a sticky situation we can’t get out of.
I’ve said that too many times before to know it’s not going to happen.
go M’s
go away Bavasi.

Paul.
Please explain this. (Do you want his OBP to go down ?)
