Terse is fine. It worked for Hemingway.
Ooh, wasted first inning. Nice pitch count, John Lackey. Way to take a few, M’s.
Apparently we’re going to make sure John Lackey doesn’t sweat tonight.
Lackey decided this is going to be a tersely pitched game.
Wow glad the Mariners made Lackey work in the first….
And why the hell is Yuni batting second and Beltre batting third??????
I’m a bit confused about what the big decision is when RRS comes back. Jak back to the bullpen, right?
Vargas is dealing tonight!
Jak is already back in the bullpen. Olson starts Sunday.
Oh, Dave…Eric Chavez is not our left fielder. =(
Nice pitching, Vargas.
If Jak isn’t back in the pen I’m gonna be pissed. RRS deserves to get his rotation spot back!
The rotation is so jumbled right now. So when the dust settles it’s gonna be:
-Felix
-Bedard
-Washburn
-Vargas
-RRS
Wow a lot of lefties!
Stupid Griffey shift. That was a good stroke.
Speaking of Lopez’s crappy hitting, they’re talking about just that. Oooo..he really wanted to swing at that one….
Lopez doing what he does best this year!
When the dust settles, neither Bedard nor Washburn should be on the team.
Yeah they’ll both be gone by the break. I’m hoping the Phillies go after Bedard and the Mariners can get some lefty power hitting prospects.
[missing smart tages...fall out from this afternoon's difficulties?]
Wow that was ugly.
Marinersfan4life…
Lefty power hitters in Philadelphia. Didn’t they just sign one (granted a non-prospect) that we didn’t sign for which we got compensated with a draft pick?
I <3 Jason Vargas.
Congrats to the UW Softball Team. At least one team from this region is winning games. Danielle Lawrie is a freaking force of nature.
The last time I can remember the M’s *almost* having as many as four lefties in the rotation was the ’96-’97 off-season — until Woody traded Sterling “Five-Inning” Hitchcock to the Hated Friars, that is.
Woo, Gutz!
Come on, Ichiro, let’s break out of the LOB crap.
Damn selfish Ichiro!
ICHI!!!
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA….even better against Lackey.
“This looks like a ball.” You think?
One gets the feeling that Ichiro may have 200 hits by the All-Star break.
Ichiro! 22 straight!
Danielle Lawrie is a freaking force of nature.
Well, we’ve at least got the guy who drafted her brother last year.
If a player’s going to do the crappy popout thing, at least get a run in on it.
Not mentioning any names here, but I’ll betcha the M’s could get more than five wins in two seasons out of Danielle Lawrie if she were in the rotation.
Say, you know, they’ve got a catcher who bats lefty and leads the team in slugging….
Danielle outpitched Strasburg tonight.
Sad that the beachball has gotten the loudest fan reaction.
Sad that the beachball has gotten the loudest fan reaction.
Well, then again, this IS Anaheim…
The fact that a significant number of fans have even arrived at the park yet at this point in the game is amazing.
Rob Johnson, gritty but slow.
and a sophomore outfielder
“Mariners Nation?” Puke.
I hope Sims never says that again.
Mariners Nation is like “throw it back”, something another team’s fans do that we don’t have to do.
Man, this sucks. I had to be in LA tonight for business. Then I saw the M’s and Angels were on the local Fox Sports station.
So I tuned in, and what do I get? A frickin’ replay of the Dodgers game played this afternoon!!!
WTF!!!
Anyone want to pass a long game details…I’m all ears.
Bad hammy for Beltre as we near the trading deadline?
It’s Friday, we’re winning.
Okay, whoever is keeping a book on Rivera for the M’s, here’s a hint: don’t throw him a fastball down the middle.
ZOMG, what great baserunning by Branyan!
Sorry about that. Fixing things
I just deleted everyone with a .ru email address
I’m in a pretty foul mood
Branyan, he can do it all.
Got my code tags back up…thanks Derek!
Feel free to tune in FSN-West to watch the Mariners game, if you can stand their announcers of course. It’s on DirecTv up here, i would imagine it’s on down there as well.
Bloggers get ragged on as living in their parents’ basement, sitting around all day in their PJs on the computer, but that loser description is reserved for hackers and other lazy-asses, that instead of using their computer gifts for positive action in the world, instead, make lots of hard work for an innocuous site like this.
Pitch longer, Vargas, Batista’s warming up.
Angels list Lackey as 6’6″ 245…
Not sure I believe either of those numbers.
Only thing I can think of is that FSN Prime Ticket thinks there’s more of an audience for the Dodger replay…since, after all, they are playing the Cubs this weekend — who are another one of Faux’s designated “favorite” teams.
Wow that turned out quite nicely!
Did that play help Lopez’s -66.6 UZR?
This is so odd…to be making good plays…to see scoring opportunities stifled…and it’s not the M’s on the receiving end!
In a season that is almost in the books as far as compeating for the al west title I think that Jason Vargas might be able to turn my interest back on.
I love his stuff and the guy knows how to pitch. I think he could turn out to be Z’s best move of the season.
Please Wakawaka, don’t pull Vargas.
Does anyone ever feel like Ichiro! only gets into slumps because he’s bored with hitting pitching like tee ball?
Why is Yuni’s “job” to move the runner over, as opposed to getting on base?
Did he just say the Angels have the second highest attendance in all of baseball?
You can’t do what you’re not capable of?
One pitch thrown anywhere near the plate, and he strikes out…
Oh well.
But see, watching the wasted opportunity for a contact hitter to actually make contact, followed by Beltre’s strike out and Griffey’s fly out, really shows why they call bunts wasting outs.
It would be highly inappropriate to say anything about those 19 year old girls and Kobe Bryant here, Dave.
That’s a strike, sir.
Rivera said a dirty word, mommy.
Why was Yuni not in double play position?
Jesus… Just pull Yuni now. That is a double play ball, but with Yuni’s 2 foot range, its a single.
What was Blowers mumbling about? Why would we have someone else up? We don’t have any lefties in the pen.
Rizzs just mentioned that what Wak would like to see here is “a ground ball to Betancourt at short”.
Considering his brainfart from just a few minutes ago, I don’t know as though that’s the best course of action.
Freaking hell. I’m so tired of Yuniesky Betancourt. I can’t stand this any more.
What he really wanted was a groundball to Ozzie Smith at short, but he misspoke.
Heckuva job of pitching there, SW.
Life is not fair when a guy like Beltre can repeatedly have at-bats like that one in the 7th, and still makes 12 million a year and will be coveted by several teams.
Your’re right HenryV, when that ball came off the bat my instinct was to think double play….
Alas, with Yuni’s range….
!@*% you, Juan Rivera.
Juan Rivera, Mariner killer. That was a helluva catch.
Dude got robbed!!!
Damn!
Awesome catch, though…
One foot farther.
BWWAAHHHH!!!
Good way to have your teammate’s back, Lopez.
Wow. Nice Jose…and so close again, Juan.
Ha! Lopez says “Bet you can’t do that again!”
A perfect example of the Deja Vu Only Better theory.
Wow Rivera cheated on Branyan’s blast. Lopez remembered that it’s Yuni’s job to ground into DP’s and finally hits one out!
Way to look for your pitch, Rob.
How insane would two in a row have been by Rivera… I’ll admit that a deep part of me hoped he would have robbed it, just so I could have witnessed something like that.
Can Lowe get any luckier tonight??
History’s biggest hit: not.
Perhaps the History Channel’s.
History’s biggest hit: not.
Perhaps the History Channel’s.
This is actually a fun game. (As long as we win.)
What great catches all around.
Ichiro!
Ichiro!!! Way to make Double A look good.
We’re better bunters than they are. We have more practice.
Juan Rivera,
Reached on an error
Dave Sims: poet
Do we always have to get to this point?
Yes?
Uno mas.
Come on.. just get this final strike.
Deja vu.
Nice punch out.
Wooooo! Two wins in a row. Wooooo!
Despite Aards’ Mesa moment, way to save it for Vargas — who finally gets a win!
Oh good…they’re starting the fireworks in Anaheim.
Maybe that’ll drown out Blow’s “analysis”.
I wonder how many calls Z is getting for Vargas (and is diverting to “don’t you want to talk about Washburn?”
I had every confidence the M’s would win today- today’s May 29th, my birthday. And they usually win on my birthday.
I’d love to know their all-time record on that date, but every year (except last, I think) they seem to get the “W” on this day.
Well, that was a close shave. . .
Its my sister’s birthday too! And her 18th!
Happy Birthday Zavaras.
Heh. My son turned seven today.
My birthday is in October; I believe I’m still waiting for a meaningful W on my birthday.
Jason Vargas is stealing my man crush away from Franklin Gutierrez.
Why would we deal away Vargas?!?!?!?!
Me too, the season ALWAYS ends like a week before my bday. The 1995 “double” game happened on my 8th birthday, and I was in the Dome. Now I’m just looking to see us play on that day at least one more time…
