Game 133, Angels at Mariners
Santana v Fister. Nice of the weather to clear in time, too.

Always…
If they’re determined on this DA business, they should play the Law & Order “dunh-dunh” noise before each pitch.
Wow. I wonder if Hannahan coming in as a defensive replacement for Mike Carp gives us any isight into how the Mariners view Carp.
Outside of this year has Hannahan ever really played first?
I am officialy scared to death.
I’m guessing this next at-bat results in either a strikeout or a ball landing in Qwest Field.
Faceplant:
Hannahan played 10 games for the A’s at first last year, and has played 5 for us at first this year. In that (ridiculously small) sample, he has a UZR/150 of 18.9. Small sample size aside, Hannahan is a defensively stellar corner infielder.
As unafir as an Ichiro!/Guti/Chaunderhans outfield?
Happy to be wrong 🙂
Less nervous with Vlad gone.
In other words, pretty decent.
Aardsma!
This defense makes me happy.
I was just thinking the same thing faceplant. It can’t be a good omen for Carp that a guy that has never played 1B is coming in as a defensive replacement. Doesn’t bode well for your future here.
WHOOOOOO! *huge sigh*
Angels just got Fistered!
Ha ha, check out Krueger’s hair in the back when he turns to the side.
I’ve heard of the comb over, but never the comb back.
Whew.
Every time Guerrero comes up against us in a tight situation, I always go “Please, God, let him hit it only 300 feet and right at one of the outfielders”.
Nice to see him settle for 120 feet- and right at Lopez’ glove.
DUNH-DUNH!
THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!!!
oh wait … it’s just another M’s win in a lost season … wheeeee.
Many of us followed this team from 1977-1990 without a finish over .500 and you are crying about this year? C’mon.
Some of us were spoiled by the ’95-’03 M’s. Despite the years of sucking ’94 and earlier, I want the M’s to contend every year. Yeah, over .500 is good, but it should not be the goal.
I believe Jay Buhner about threw a fit the first year the Mariners finished over .500 and celebrated like they won the WS. The goal should be to win a championship.
Is this season a positive step forward? Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes…! However, it is not the goal and being 10 games out on Sep 1 is not something to be happy about.
Funny, this makes me happy.
I actually think the world is better with both people who are absolutely pleased to go over .500 or improve a record a long way and people like Buhner who push you to go farther. If I’m Jack Wilson and I can see a pennant race even this close, why should I feel lousy because I’m on a team that isn’t as good as the Angels. Of course he should be happy. Happy is not the same as content, and having someone who reminds you of that is good, too.
Golly. I’m just imagining him whipping that Beltre bobblehead out in a sexy moment and totally ruining the mood. Or would it be that huge Beltre face mask?
Has anyone asked Red what he’ll do if Beltre does leave as expected?
Maybe adopt an Adrian Beltre blow up doll?
You may want that, but it isn’t that likely with the cyclic nature of baseball.
AND….we don’t have an ownership group like the Red Sox, or Yanks…so we can’t “buy” yearly contention.
