Today's the big game!

felix gets the W and the M's are on track in the 2nd half. i can't say i'm really starting to believe in this team, but i am pretty damn impressed.

we forgot to praise Ichiro's inside-the-park home run. well, damn, that was something. maybe we were too busy celebrating out loud

oh shit i kept meaning to and then forgetting.

let us also celebrate ichiro having re-signed with the mariners!

get out the rye bread and mustard grandma it's grand salami time

kenji you're a treat

i <3 him

poor tour de france. it is spoiled and no one cares any more.

otm

25 minutes from the trading deadline and it doesn't look like the m's are going to do anything. which is probably okay.

fucking football is gay as hell

how about those Mariners?!? 2-14 since they were 2 up in the wildcard.

In Red Sox Nation, It’s Still Fun to Kick Yanks

Ortiz and Ramírez combined to reach base in all 10 of their plate appearances and went 4 for 4 with five walks and four runs. Ramirez had three runs batted in.

Since the playoffs began, Boston’s devastating third and fourth hitters have been on base in 29 of 36 plate appearances, a shocking statistic.

is the world retarded or what ? Pineiro agrees to http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AhrpG1ghrRo1QH.LgAwL7uo5nYcB?slug=ap-cardinals-pineiro&prov=ap&type=lgns3 million, 2-year contract with Cardinals

is bbcode retarded or what?

Pineiro gets 13 million for two years; world wobbling out of orbit

lxy: "i wonder what johnny damon is doing right now."

friend of the board Jeff Sullivan has agreed to manage the 1986 Mariners in a roto league starting up in a few weeks. Fuck a fantasy sports, but still, this dude is a glutton for punishment.

Today actually is the big game!

the big game was fun!

from geoff baker's blog:

Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus just got named winner of the Ford C. Frick Award, on the same day he is celebrating his 73rd birthday. This is quite an honor, since it means he's being inducted into the broadcasting wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. A deserving guy. Ceremony takes place July 25-28.

so awesome. so deserved.

Top 50 Mariner Moments, 2007: #13

baseball taps the wisdom of fans incl a mention of our own ussm

Mexico, China to meet in soccer friendly in Seattle on April 16 20 bucks

Ouch! Nuggets set NBA season high in scoring with 168-116 rout of SuperSonics

OK -- the next pundit to say something along the lines of "so-and-so doesn't want to play the Spurs, because when the playoffs come around they're a different team because they turn it on" can go sit on a Bruce Bowen kick to the nuts. If this team makes it past the 2nd round, I will eat Werner Herzog's shoe, because this conglomeration of old farts, hustle punks, dirty one-dimensional crumb bumbs, ref-whining chumpwits, and Manu Ginobli's Atlas act ain't going to do a damn thing this year.

omg i'm just gonna love lou piniella now and forever

A question focusing on whether Piniella thought about shifting slick-fielding center fielder Reed Johnson to left -- in place of fresh-off-the-disabled-list Alfonso Soriano -- when he inserted defensive sub Felix Pie in center during the eighth inning lit Piniella's short fuse.

''You're damn right I thought about it,'' Piniella said, his voice rising. ''You think I'm stupid or something? God ... darn it. Thought. All right. Thanks.''

where's the egg roll quote

got it

St. Petersburg, Fla. — Lou Piniella wasn't around to see his team lose in extra innings.

Ruben Gotay hit an RBI grounder in the 10th inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 7-6, Wednesday.

Piniella was ejected in the second by plate umpire Mike Winters for arguing balls and strikes. After being tossed, the Tampa Bay manager came out of the dugout, argued briefly with Winters, then proceeded to kick dirt three times onto the plate.

"Today's game, I sat right back here (in his office) and watched it on TV from the second inning on," Piniella said. "Had an egg roll and a cold beer, and I watched the ballgame."

lol manny:

Manny Ramírez, meanwhile, spent a couple of minutes in the clubhouse trying to convince reporters the Sox should trade Tavarez for one of Milwaukee's sausages, the stars of the race that occurs prior to every seventh inning in Miller Park. That was after he announced that Tavarez should be traded to Tampa Bay.

uss mariner sons washburn

Washburn’s done this before, insinuating to the media that Johjima’s responsible for his poor performances. I have a news flash for you, Mr. Washburn - you aren’t pitching well because you suck. You throw a meaty fastball over the plate and your breaking pitches are something an 8th grader would be embarrassed of. Johjima can’t flash a few hand signs and tell you to throw a good pitch, because you’re not capable of it. His options are Suck Pitch #1 and Suck Pitch #2, with a side of Suck Pitch #3 worked in for good measure.

You’re lousy because you lack talent, not because your catcher is Japanese. Own up, be a man, take your ridiculous contract and shut the hell up. Thank you.

No. 1 Justine Henin retires from tennis immediately

Henin, though, won’t have any sort of farewell tour. She is quitting immediately.

“It is a new beginning for me. I feel like I already lived three lives. I gave the sport all I could and took everything it could give me,” she said. “I take this decision without the least bit of regrets. It is my life as a woman that starts now.”

haha http://seattle.metblogs.com/
The Mariners failure this year is so epic that it transcends sports. This is a study in human misery and abject failure brought on by the arrogant presumptions of a management team unwilling (or unable) to evaluate or adjust to the situation on the ground (as it were). This is a failure so spectacular that even non-sports fans can appreciate it; a failure so magnificent it’s actually made the highly organized, stay-on-message corporation known mostly for their baseball product, interesting. This isn’t mere schadenfreude, either. This is a 6 month long Shakespearian tragedy occurring 6 times a week on TV, radio, and at a ballpark near you.

^j. coplon is going to have to follow up his article

one pm and the mariners have already lost today, swept by detroit
