Poor Mariners

The M's, 3 1/2 games out in the A.L. West and trying to get back in/stay in the race, played Baltimore at home this afternoon.  They were up 3-0 going into the top of the 9th.  And then there was this:

Top 9th: Baltimore
- D. Aardsma relieved M. Lowe
- M. Mora doubled to deep right center
- G. Zaun walked
- O. Salazar singled to left center, M. Mora to third, G. Zaun to second
- F. Pie ran for O. Salazar
- A. Jones singled to third, M. Mora scored, G. Zaun to third, F. Pie to second
- N. Markakis reached on fielder's choice, G. Zaun scored, F. Pie to third, A. Jones to second on J. Lopez's fielding error
- T. Wigginton singled to center, A. Jones and F. Pie scored, N. Markakis to second
- S. White relieved D. Aardsma
- A. Huff grounded into fielder's choice, N. Markakis to third, T. Wigginton out at second
- B. Roberts hit for N. Reimold
- A. Huff caught stealing, pitcher to first to shortstop
- B. Roberts safe at first on J. Lopez's throwing error, N. Markakis scored
- L. Scott singled to right center, B. Roberts to third
- M. Mora grounded into fielder's choice, L. Scott out at second

5 runs, 5 hits, 2 errors
Baltimore 5, Seattle 3


They ended up losing 5-3.

Poor, poor M's...

I'm not sure

What the big difference between this and going to their site to deliberately agitate people is.

by brettgardner on Jul 8, 2009 7:06 PM CDT reply actions  

One is going to their site and commenting about how much they and their blog suck.

One is posting on your own site about how much they suck.

I should know.

It's easy

One is telling your friends some guy’s an asshole and suspecting it’ll get back to him. The other is walking right up to him and calling him a bitch. One can cause bad blood, the other can start a fight.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Well

When you call one juvenile and then do the other, it doesn’t make much sense, at least to me.

by brettgardner on Jul 8, 2009 7:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Eh

LoL has talked crap about the Rangers and LSBers. The only thing that could be remotely objectionable is the whole “poor M’s” thing. The rest is just fact.

Well that's a bit silly.

The entire point of the post was antagonistic, whether or not facts comprised the majority or not.

I’m just pointing it out; it doesn’t really mean jack shit to me one way or the other.

He's posted before about how some team blew a huge lead in the Ninth.

He’s done it with the A’s recently when they had a horrible inning. I don’t see the big deal.

They’re both way different.

Here is an example.

There is three friends Joe, Tom and Aresap. Joe and Tom are both Ranger fans and Areasap likes the Angels.

Here is two different situations that could have played out last night.

1. Joe and Tom sit at a bar watching the game, and then after watching the game they discuss it. A few fuck yeahs, fuck the angels and SUCK ON THAT ANGELS later they both go home. Aresap has no idea what has happened unless he was out stalking them, which would be pretty creepy.

2.Joe and Tom sit at a bar watching the game, and then after watching the game they go and find their friend Aresap. A few Your team sucks just as much as you do Aresap, whats a matter can’t hold a lead? FUCK THE ANGELS later Aresap kicks the crap out of both of them, and then sits and cries.

Crap

Between Cueto and Jurrjens’ disastrous starts Monday night and now this from Aardsma, I think I can just go ahead and ignore fantasy baseball the rest of the week.

I want the Ms to lose like anyone else but I wish they’d do it at the expense of their starters and middle relief.

Aardsma

Great stuff, but terribly inconsistent. Let’s hope there are a few more meltdowns in the upcoming series; the Rangers have to face King Felix, Bedard, and Washburn.

by Excel Hearts Choi on Jul 8, 2009 7:06 PM CDT reply actions  

It is kind of sad to see fellow Rice alums

- particularly those who were there at the same time as me – do badly.

But it’s the Mariners. I empathize with M’s fans, since I think Texas and Seattle fans are kindred spirits in ways. But I still want them to lose.

Go Rice Owls!

That means marlon is automatically in the lineup. So it comes down to murphy/cruz/jones for LF/DH. Looks like the platoon is going to be between murphy and cruz until murph learns 1B or CD comes back up.

a M's fan I work with wouldn't even speak to me when left today

and I didn’t even say anything really, just popped my head up from my cubicle and gave him a thumbs up. He thought they got the last out when really it was the complete opposite. Classic.

He did but he came back a few months ago

On a similar note, where’s that guy to explain to us the merits of Royce Huffman as the answer at 1B/DH?
