Batista vs. Parrish.
Sorry for the late game thread; then again, it might not be that fun to talk about.
Have at it, though.

As scrappy as Eckstein is, that wasn’t good baserunning.
BELTRE’d!
34: I doubt they’ll be type A. Maybe Nady, but Marte? He only has 5 saves – which Elias loves.
9th inning, tie game, and we’ve got the 5-6-7 guys up. No problem, right?
It’s Lopez, Vidro, and Cairo, who are followed by Johjima.
Why watch?
Johjima is determined to create some room between him and the Mendoza line –
Edit: Oh well.
Actually, I think it must be Turn Back The Clock night at the ole’ Rogers Skydome…’cause those are the Jays’ “old-school” unis from the late-’70’s/early-’80’s.
I wish I knew. But this reminds me, there was a note in the Washington Post’s Nationals blog about their TV viewership numbers. Turns out, the Nats draw between – get this – 2,000 and 9,000 viewers per game. Yes, that’s right. On a good night, they still have fewer than 10,000 TV viewers.
Needless to say, they have the highest drop in MLB regional TV ratings this season. Second highest, per the Post? The Mariners. Does not bode well for future broadcast revenue streams, which have traditionally been a strongpoint of this franchise.
GRITTY!!!
Wow, look how dirty Evil in Spike’s jersey is compared to Beltre’s.
Why is Beltre starting above Willie again?
ha ha bwilkieson, you donkey sack
Wow…how pathetic! Sure glad MLB saw fit to move that franchise out of Montreal — where they probably had at least better TV ratings than that.
Now that was a bad call. Clearly out at second.
Thank God we have Cairo at first…I mean look at that! Best first baseman in the league!
Baaaaaaaaad baseball…
It’s kind of funny…I’ve only been watching this game half-heartedly, and it seems like Wilkerson is up like every third batter…
I’ve been watching it 1/16th heartedly.
That red soul patch on his GameDay picture sure makes Wilkerson look like the second coming of Scott Spezio, doesn’t it?
(I’m sure it’s been said before, but I had to say it again)
Ye gawds. The bases are loaded. How many ways…???
…can one team lose games…?
(and yes, I edited that, although I was thinking what was likely to happen, and did)
Yet another way to lose!!!
Ummm.. was what we just saw actually possible?
Absolutely hideous!!!
Football has not started…
Raul would have had that.
You gotta be frickin kidding me.
I don’t think so. I’m assuming it didn’t really happen.
What happened?
shite
I hate that wilkerson
Thank you! I’m wondering why he couldn’t work a freakin’ count like that in the 12 or so at bats he had with the M’s earlier in the season.
Uh, the M’s suck again, my friend…sad to say.
Wilkerson did have 10 walks with the M’s. He just couldn’t hit.
Yea, Blame Wilkerson for a F’d Up FO & field staff…
Nice work Brad!
The Good News: If the Nats win, the M’s move into first place!Edit: Never mind, there is no good news.
Hard line drive over Ichiro’s head. Looked like he got himself turned around on his route and flubbed it off his glove when he jumped awkwardly for it.
It was a tough play, but Ichi makes that 99 out of 100.
78- I was hoping for something that couldn’t be gleaned from a box score. 69 piqued my interest.
It appears to be a day spa for men.. Oh my..
Strasburg ho!
And I know he had more at bats than that, too. It just seemed like when he did get a chance to prove himself while he was here, he choked.
And, gee when ya think about it, the M’s can’t even suck in a fun way. With only 60 games left to play, they’d have to go 5-55 to tie the ’03 Tigers for the worst mark in modern AL history. And if I know these guys, they’ll probably find a way to accidentally win that sixth game so that they couldn’t even get in the record books for losing. >:(
The Seattle Times has taken over the “SI-jinx” … with the front page article today on Ichiro, his glove, and the “master” craftsman! Nice timing!

I did not do this, then again, it could be real
In your face San Diego!
What’s the M’s record for earliest date in the season eliminated from contention?
Even Ichiro! wants Strasburg.
It’d be pretty crazy if they did tie the record for the worst recod ever. Then we’d have the record on both ends of the spectrum.
1) Nationals… .369
2) Mariners… .373
3) Padres… .375
the three amigos… three musketeers… trio of suck…
Most baffling to me tonight is that Riggleman managed to empty the bullpen so quickly. Batista got him to the sixth, which is as good as it is unusual for Batista. Then Riggleman managed to use four pitchers to get the next five outs. It’s as well they lost when they did, becuase Lowe was the last man standing.
That’s the sort of jitterbug management that causes a game to last over 3.5 hours, and gives baseball a bad name for being boring.
And then, within the same decade as well — which would be both ironic and sad!
#93 It’s bad enough that it makes you wonder who’s pulling the strings in this bad management. It’s like having Will Farrell manage your baseball team.
Someone in the M’s heirarchy who knows nothing about managing a baseball team to win must be doing this, like the little girl who cried to her minority-owner papa years ago that she didn’t want to lose Joey Cora, and so the Mariners hung on to him one year too long…
We’re only a half game behind the Nationals now.
I think we’re trying to lose. I hope we are trying to lose.
Hey Karen
The M’s did wind up flipping Joey to the Indians for a young David Bell about 45 minutes before Joey retired, so it didn’t turn out all badly.
