PIneda vs Scherzer, 4:05 pm.
Ichiro is back, and back at leadoff. Rooting hard for Chone Figgins to go like 8 for 8 tonight so that the “he needs to hit leadoff!” cries go away.
Ichiro, RF
Ryan, SS
Smoak, 1B
Kennedy, 2B
Olivo, C
Peguero, LF
Carp, DH
Figgins, 3B

Alright, Ichiro triple, Smoak single, I’m feeling something…
I wonder if the Mets would be dumb enough to take Figgins in a trade for David Wright? Would take more than Figgins, but I can’t help but wonder if they’d even listen.
“Four of the last six hitters with hits.”–Dave Sims.
A bit of an asterisk there, huh, Dave?
Ha, that’s the spirit.
.
I think the better poll question would have been under the umbrella of total suckitude: “what is worse – Figgins’s offense, his defense or his baserunning.”
Please be sure to have a tie-breaker question, too .. because it is pretty much a flat out dead heat on all three. He is just plain old fucking brutal.
Soooooo close for Olivo. Damn.
Damn, this game needs more Rayburn.
!
This made me laugh. Thank you. Warming up for a show later this evening? I need to catch one of those someday, by the way, when I am next up there.
Aaaand this game is now over. And to think I benched Peralta in my fantasy league today because I thought he had a tough matchup.
Poor Pineda, he’s dropping all kinds of f-bombs after that home run. Oh well guess he has to regress sometime. Time for a rally!!
Jamey Wrong move.
Shows how good Pineda is when such an outing seems extremely anomalous.
The only bright spot for me so far is Ichiro’s nice catch and triple.
Well said, pgreyy!
This can be the beginning of the turn around.
Happy Felix Day – manana
Cant remember how to get the “en-yay” symbol, but I gave it the old college try. Graduated from college 25 years ago, so that no longer has much meaning. Pretty much like this game appears to have.
What happened to all the MoJo???? Every time we get a chance to gain a game on Texas the M’s play like crap!
That’s our lucky fielding break for the game, fellas…now everybody find their hitting shoes.
I surely hope Ackley’s coming up in time for the Angels series at home.
Watching Boesch hit that breaking ball is depressing. Any of our guys would’ve looked silly swinging at that.
Hopefully Wedge is paying attention to the SUCK that is Jamey Wright.
Jamey Wright sucks, his luck is waring off. He’s not a good pitcher. By seasons end his ERA will be close to 5 I’m sure.
I am indeed. I’m in Salt Lake City, competing in the Rocky Mountain Laugh Off…following the game only via the comments here and ESPN’s GameCast via Epic 4G.
(I almost said “enjoying” the game, but no, not so much.)
Well rest easy pgreyy … Ichiro got another hit -so life is returning to some level of normalcy. One run by the team (collectively) and 2 hits from Ichiro. This is very familiar territory.
He hit a parachute+ down the left field line during his last AB. Kind of a tweener between a liner and a parachute.
Good luck tonight!
Salt Lake City, huh? Do they serve alcohol in the night clubs down there? Never quite did understand the protocal on that type of thing within that City.
Okay, this one is just about all the way in the dumper. Good thing we have a real good chance to get a split tomorrow.
Felix, I hope you have your ‘A’ game going on tomorrow.
msfanmike, keeping the poll questions to just Figgins is too easy!
I find it impossible to be able to make an argument against this point.
Hey, does anybody know if GMZDevotee is on a hunger strike? I just figured out what was missing from today’s thread.
Actually, the drinking laws in Utah have become much more reasonable over the last couple of years (though not without their quirks..it’s still Utah).
Which makes it a bit easier to deal with if you’re an M’s follower in SLC. I used to be one, but then I moved to Seattle. Not quite sure which is the worse place to be a Mariner fan…
I remember traveling through Utah a couple decades ago – we were more concerned about finding coffee than alcohol. 😀 It generally wasn’t a problem except around Salt Lake City… I don’t know if that’s the case even there anymore, though.
Maybe. His xFIP was last over 5 in 2007, though. Looks like an ERA of around 4 would be most likely for the season.
Oh man I came on here for the obligatory “Smoak Bomb” comments.
I am dissapoint
