It’s a Day game after a night game and Maldy is the starter, so not happening

Yep. They got that rabbits foot and 4 leaf clover lodged firmly up their collective ass this season

And then a 8-3 win

WRONG!!!    

 

But, dang!!

[BackUpTheTruck]

Diaz has control problems tonight.  Single by J.D. Martinez to lead off.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Passed ball. Tying run on second.

[101halo]

Weird, does Boston's 6-9 always look as piss poor as ours? Or do they have injuries/off days?

Enjoy the losing streak

Thanks. Will do.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Boston chokes. Thanks for nothing.

[TroutField]

And the m’s win yet another 1 run game 

 

this is going to make their second half collapse all the sweeter

[101halo]

Ugh, their DH with a 629 OPS just swung at a ball at his neck. Mariners win. 

[TroutField]

Joe Dirt going for the Halos tomorrow. t

Hell at this point I might give David Spade a chance. We do have a history of little white gritty David's having success...

If I was shown a bunch of pictures of dudes including this one of John Lamb.  And asked to pick which dude has a problem with drugs. 

John Lamb is money. 

Hope he’s cleaned up.  Glad if he has.  Has the pedigree to maybe be useful.

Skaggs has been great this year. Really nice to see.

[Jeff Fletcher]

Possible reasons Fletcher is not in the lineup:

1. Abducted by aliens

2. Traded to Seattle for International Pool Money

3. @Jeff Fletcher stole his jersey

4. Took the wrong BART

5. Kidnapped by Chuck to drive traffic to AW

I do think it’s cool to finally see my name on a big league jersey. I’ve never seen it before. 

I don’t know if you guys read my notes, but I did ask why he didn’t play. He didn’t really give me a straight answer, other than saying “he’s going to get his chances.” It seems like they just want to play against lefties for now. 

Also, I believe Fontana is considered a better SS (although tonight he had some issues).

While I understand your frustration, I think who bats 9th in one game is probably not that big of a deal.

Fontana must be considered closer to the majors than Fletcher, it's only 45 miles away. Fletcher Ave, at least near my house, is only 33 miles away, but once you consider traffic near game time, it's a significantly worse drive.

Still sitting pretty at 6 games over

That’s Joe Dir-te.

I’d be ecstatic if he’s a lefty version of Clevenger.   Same hair

Meantime, Skaggs has been the ace, consistency being his forte so far.   Last night was no different.

Makes me glad to not be a Dogs fan.   Dogs Stadium is a joke to get in and out of.

Stupid Barnes, I thought the Sux bullpen was supposed to be good.

And Span has never been that big of a money player, yet he seems to have one big hit after another since the M’s got him.
