And heck, everytime I’ve had a designated goat to boo (I’m talking to you, Dan Wilson of the 21st century), he’s usually come through in the clutch. So assume Vidro and Cairo will have big days tomorrow, cause I’ll be there in Section 127.

I know. Who ARE these people that would want to blow $20 on parking, $100 on food, and another $100+ on tickets for this garbage?

Me, sadly, though I didn’t quite get to $100 on food; $17 went to a hat.

What a totally frustrating game all over the place. SafeCo Fans suck ass. Bedard was striking out quite a few people, and I was the only one trying to get the claps going. I failed miserably several times and just quit.

I heckled Vidro several times. The first time I just shouted “retire”. The second time I yelled “BATTING THIRD, YOUR DESIGNATED SUPPOSED HITTER, JOSE VIDRO”… then he hit the home run. A fan a few seats down looked at me, then yelled “HEY RAUL, YOU SUCK TOO!”. I guess he figured calling someone out was beneficial.

Beltre’s bomb was known immediately by the fans. Everything about that was cool.

The fans pathetically tried to start the wave while the game was tied 2-2. An inning after the Batista home run, nobody was interested in the game anymore and the thing was in full effect.

John McLaren is ridiculously stupid. Not that I wanted Arthur to remain in there or anything, but pulling him after Sexson screwed up a pickoff move is pretty dumb. He’d already gotten two outs and had thrown a ball to the next batter. Instead of letting him finish the inning, here comes Sean Green for more arm straining work. Is Roy Corcoran dead?

Sexson was murdered by the fanbase. They weren’t really on him hard until the strikeout in the 6th. After that, they were on him for everything. They booed him during the botched pickoff move. They booed him when he was throwing the ball around the infield inbetween innings. Etc. He’s the most hated man in SafeCo.

I don’t know how many times I screamed for Jeremy Reed to pinch hit. Lot of good it did me.

Did Yuni’s defensive play look as cool on TV as it did in person? Did Yuni’s complete failure of a sac bunt attempt look as bad on TV as it did in person?

Sucks having to watch a loss, but this wasn’t even an entertaining loss aside from King Awesome going yard.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t leave to Jay Buhner’s double the task of finding the next Jay Buhner. He’d trade Felix and Truinfel for him and end up giving Todd Helton a three-year extension.

I’m glad I didn’t listen.
Yeah I love how Clement is being judged on his 48 AB’s. So wonderful the way this organization thinks.

FO ” Lets move Reed to first Base”

USSM ” Um, why?”

FO ” Because we feel with Ibanez in LF, Reed isn’t going to get enough playing time out there”

USSM *Walks Away*

As for impact players. Yeah Clement is about the only one near being ready. Tui still needs another year, Halman, Truinfel, Aumont, Mangini, Saunders and Ramirez are all not even close.

Anyone else listen to the post game and hear Tom Hudler and Shannon Dreyer talking about how there are no impact position players in the minors?

I mean, after all, Clement proved during his 15 game call up that he clearly cannot be a major league player. Right?

God. Everyone is NOT Jay Bruce.

That’s the good news.

After 21 games, the M’s were 11-10. Since then, they’ve gone 13-34. If they keep up that pace for the rest of the year, they’ll end up at 50-112.

This could very well be the worst Mariners team of all time. But, we’re not giving up!

a few Bags o’ Crap.

would those be Irwin Mainway Bags o’ Crap? ’cause those could go for at least $1.98
