Game 72, Marlins at Mariners

DMZ · June 18, 2008 at 6:10 pm · Filed Under Mariners 

A game thread! Remember those?

Tucker v Dickey. 7:10. I’m sure all the lineup problems will be worked out.

Update: Yup! The worst hitter in the AL has been moved out of the three spot. Problem solved!

    I like how McLaren played this so that we now have a righty-righty situation instead of a lefty lefty situation when the lefty was the better hitter. A smart baseball move there.

    Just came from the ball park – mixed bag of emotions here.

    Mainly: Depression.

    It was nice to see Reed play well and it was refreshing to see Clement behind the dish.

    This game was like watching paint dry.

    Folks, we have ignition……

  6. Mothy on June 18th, 2008 9:53 pm

    Well I guess that’s why Mac is the big league manager and I’m the fan. I don’t know why I doubted him.

  7. Carson on June 18th, 2008 9:53 pm

    Oh, it’s SO ignition time, baby!

    I totally get to take credit for calling that. Right?

  8. Go Felix on June 18th, 2008 9:53 pm

    Reed’s BA is .296….not .300, Mr. Valle.

  9. DMZ on June 18th, 2008 9:55 pm

    Valle’s used to rounding up batting averages.

    “Yeah, baby, I’m a .200 hitter…”

    Aye, I haven’t given up my brain just yet.

    Not to worry folks, if we get 7 singles in a row next inning we can win this.

  12. bratman on June 18th, 2008 9:58 pm

    109 –

    That is hilarious.

    Question: Pete O’Brien or Richie Sexson?

    Sexson, please DFA ASAP. I can’t look at you any longer.

  13. BillyJive on June 18th, 2008 9:58 pm

    Someone call up Bucky Jacobsen..I need a reason to keep watching these guys…
    *sigh*

  14. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:00 pm

    Beltre!!

  15. tgf on June 18th, 2008 10:04 pm

    Now we need 8 singles.

  16. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:04 pm

    What sluggers do with meatballs down the middle.

  17. Go Felix on June 18th, 2008 10:05 pm

    Atta boy Corky!

    Valle: “but” as a conjunction draws a contrast.

    Correct: “Dave Valle was a horrible hitter but played decent defense”

    and not a synonym for “and”

    Incorrect: “Dave Valle was a bad catcher but a bad color man on broadcasts.”

  20. edgar for mayor on June 18th, 2008 10:07 pm

    Everytime Richie Sexson has a cold sore he plays well…not kidding.

  21. bratman on June 18th, 2008 10:10 pm

    Seattle Mariners 2008

    and I wish we had Oscar Gamble

    At least Barry didn’t come and wreck the chemistry

    I just want to laugh.

  22. edgar for mayor on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    *Health up*

  23. MattThompson on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    And. the apocalypse is now upon us.

  24. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    Sexson is a bad hitter but plays a bad first base.

  25. Sports on a Schtick on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    I’m pretty sure Vidro singling is a bad thing.

  26. killer_ewok18 on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    Someone should do a study on the Mariners BMI. Our pitchers, especially. That, and Vidro’s neck-chins.

  27. tgf on June 18th, 2008 10:11 pm

    Everytime Richie Sexson has a cold sore he plays well…not kidding.

    All the talent lies with the Herpes virus.

  28. PaulMolitorCocktail on June 18th, 2008 10:12 pm

    WOOT OFF!!!!!

    And now back to the crappy game already in progress.

  29. bratman on June 18th, 2008 10:14 pm

    Seattle Mariners: Hindsight (I promise this is the best one).

    Sigh

  30. DMZ on June 18th, 2008 10:15 pm

    Game’s over, the spec I’ve been working on all day is complete… that’s a day.

    This team is ass.

  31. ManageWA on June 18th, 2008 10:16 pm

    I had surgery yesterday. Less painful than being a mariners fan.

    And doctors prescribe painkillers for surgery. I use them for games.

  32. DMZ on June 18th, 2008 10:16 pm

    Mmm… painkillers

  33. ManageWA on June 18th, 2008 10:17 pm

    129: HAH

  34. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:17 pm

    Hey check out Kruger’s tie. That’s something.

  35. jlc on June 18th, 2008 10:21 pm

    129-Great. Mariners mission statement?

  36. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:21 pm

    Hey how about a drink every time Bill K says “professional hitter”

  37. DMZ on June 18th, 2008 10:21 pm

    Also something: Kruger’s crazy rant about Ibanez, who is a run producer, a professional hitter, and steady, which like all players, he’s really not. Whatever, I’m sure it’s hard to fill that air time.

  38. Carson on June 18th, 2008 10:23 pm

    B-R only wants $65 per year to sponsor Sexson’s page. You have to figure that is a bargain for all the hits it’ll get when he is DFA’s.

  39. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:25 pm

    Hey but the Angels and Oakland lost today so that is something.

  40. enazario on June 18th, 2008 10:29 pm

    Kruger – Chipper has never been a guy that hits for average. Hmmmm… Career average .310 OPS .956.

    That’s great research Billy.

    That’s great research Billy.

    Think he’s been infected by the great knowledge of stats that’s insinuated itself throughout the Mariners’ organization…

    Incorrect: “Dave Valle was a bad catcher but a bad color man on broadcasts.”

    Correct: “Dave Valle was a bad catcher but a worse color man on broadcasts.”

    Oh, how I’d love to read Derek’s rant on rally fries. Hint, please? Is it Bugs Bunny-esque?

  43. Mike G. on June 19th, 2008 3:55 am

    Valle is so bad as a color man that when Kenji is doing it in ten years IN Japanese it will make more sense.

    And while I’m here, Cairo starting for Valle is about the only situation where starting Cairo makes sense.
