Ichiro’s response showed just how emotional he was today.
That’s a great image of him jumping on Tinsley.
Haha, M’s are undefeated in the Post Griffey Era.
Yeah that was breathtakingly stupid – sort of like pulling the bat back from a bunt on a suicide squeeze. 😀 Fortunately (for the pitcher) Langerhans had it beat anyway.
whoops haha
****And now for the roster move****
Was that Ump Jim Joyce at second base calling safe?
11-pitch AB for Ichiro!
Great play by Paperboy.
Langerhans with SMART risk-taking on the basepaths.
And a bad call went the other way.
Hell of a way to win.
Yeah, at first look I thought it was an obvious blown call… and it still might have been, but it was a lot closer than I thought.
How do you figure?
Joyce was distracted by the “24” out there.
Hey, Brandon League gets another win?
The shortstop kinda screwed that up, too, assuming that Wilson would be called out, rather than throwing it home.
Can the Mariners claim Texiera off waivers? hehe
Great pitching tonight by Lee and it’s great to see the team win this one for Griffey.
Also, thanks to the 2B ump for the favorable call. We needed that.
MB is emotional and rightly so…like all of us
MB was a hero too. A 1-0 loss on Griffey Retirement Day would have stung like a million angry bees.
Poor Milton – I feel rather sorry for him right now. He’s trying to keep composed while Jen only mentioned Junior about 3 dozen times…
A baseball player just used the word “imperative” during a post game interview.
I have a lot of respect for a player who actually thinks while talking.
Safe
I love how Sweeney and now Langerhans tonight on radio are referring to Josh as “Paperboy” in interviews.
I have to agree with JerBear and IwearMsHats…the play at second was a LOT closer than it looked originally and might NOT have been a bad call.
…maybe.
It certainly wasn’t as egregious an error as what happened in Detroit, earlier.
Good win for the M’s. At this point, ANY win is a good win for the M’s.
I’m also somewhat happy that Ichiro didn’t go 0-4. I’m happy that Langerhans scored the run…while also happy that Kotchman was involved in both of our runs being scored.
And Josh Wilson might be my favorite M right now.
And note to FSN: We get the fact that Junior meant a lot to all of us…but he hasn’t died, you know. Don’t get cloying!
I think you’re getting the shortstop confused with the 2nd baseman.
We win on a rally that began with a weak ground ball by Kotchman, and ended with a weak ground ball in the same area by Ichiro. I’ll take it, but if Griffey gets benched for not hitting, can Kotch be far behind?
