I’d love to see RRS get a win but I lost the last of my ability to be optimistic somewhere in KC.

Geez, Derek, that was almost a “WOOOOOOOOOOO” of “Nature Boy” Ric Flair proportions there. 😉

There is a game? I guess I better stop drooling over the Hawks win and wake up to see the M’s prove that they too can win. Go M’s

I’m enjoying the games, watching RRS, Felix, Morrow and Feierabend pitch and HOPING they will gel into something next year is fun.
The possibility of the Mariners scoring runs to help them out…not so much.

with Raul in a dry stretch, this offense is downright offensive.

woohoo! first sentence out of Blow’s mouth in the game coverage– no question about it.

I’m fully convinced that within 20 years the correct spelling of the verb “to lose” will be with two Os.
Is there some internet-wide meme I’m missing out on?

maybe he is just loosening the bonds of fandom, and allowing himself to embrace the losing

Maybe this is off topic…but I wanted to state that I have turned off my sattelite tv. I haven’t seen the mariners play in a while. I feel so much better. Now, I listen to the M’s once in a while…but not as frequently as I used to. It’s just too depressing. I do love this game…but I just can’t take the losing as well as some of you. I can listen to it…it’s like the 80’s all over again. But I just can’t watch it.

I know – that’s a pet peeve of mine. And people never seem to see the irony in calling someone else a “looser” on the internet…

not that this isn’t an enthralling game, but that E:60 show had an interesting segment on the new Yankee Stadium …
Thanks, msb. I thought maybe I heard wrong as I was rolling on the floor laughing.
kind of hard on the unmarried third basemen though…

Yeah, I immediately thought of Adrian and his cuplessness.
I just loved Dave’s deadpan delivery.

I feel bad for Ichiro! playing here and not getting a ring, and there are some other guys (ah, Edgar) in that boat too. But imagine Dave N., and what his talents might have done in calling games for consistent winning teams with a championship or two in there.

Well, it looks like RRS is headed for another decent start where he’ll probably wind up getting screwed out of a win.

Frickin Raul. I am so sick of watching him take pride in his defense…

If Raul DH’d I could be happy about him all the time. Now, though, it’s kind of like watching my grandson play: “Please don’t hit it to him.”

Not internet wide, nation-wide. Otherwise known as the American educational system.
Nice start for RRS. It’s good to see him developing, it’s bad to see him not get credit for a win when he certainly deserves one.

Oh, I thought it was a reference to them getting killed, not permanently damaged. Why would you care about that with the married guys? They’re married. That part of their life is over anyway.

Though I’m sure that if HowChuck and Lee P. have their way, he’ll wind up being “rewarded” for his effort in the off-season by being dealt away for a friggin’ box of sunflower seeds — just so that they can continue to torture us with yet another season of the gritty veteran suckitude that is The Bus and The Burger Chef.

Miguel Batista’s blown save Sunday was the 31st of the season for Seattle. It’s a club record and the most in the big leagues this year; St. Louis has 30.
…
the Mariners are 39 games out of first place.
Seattle has had some awful performances, particularly in the first decade after the team was formed in 1977, but no Mariners team has ever been 40 games out of first place. The worst games-behind mark in club history is 39 1/2 , on Sept. 25, 1977.

Well, congrats guys for making history tonight — according to Niehaus, you’ve become the first Mariner team in franchise history to sink to 40 games behind the division leaders.
Ironically, though the Angles ultimately finished 41 games behind the M’s back in ’01, they were “only” 36 back after 156 games…
And, good lord, does that ever seem like it was a million years ago now. 🙁

I apologize for the typo.
But typo ignored, we achieved the goal.

Not only are the Mariners the first in team history to sink to 40 games behind a division leader, they are now 1 loss away from achieving a 100-loss season.

Your 2008 Seattle Mariners, Chasing History!
I’m hoping more for chasing Stephen Strasburg, but with the M’s desire to follow draft slot requirements, can we even count on that?
Another close loss. It must suck to be a starting pitcher for the Mariners these days.
These days? I thought the sucking started back on March 31 against Texas.
My fear about the M’s getting the top draft pick is that it would play out this way:
M’s and Josh Fields can’t come to agreement.
Josh Fields is not signed
Josh Fields re-enters draft
M’s re-draft Fields, citing that the amount he wanted last year was commensurate to the #1 overall slot.
M’s state they are happy they finally ‘got their man’
Josh Fields then demands money equivalent to A-Rod contract, doesn’t sign.
M’s watch Fields re-enter draft next year.
It’s likely enough to happen that it has me scared . . .
300ZXNA – I hope we do not sign fields, because we then get the 23rd overall pick in next years draft, along with the 1st or 2nd we already have.
