Happy Memorial Day DS tards! Have a bump

First Mariners game for me since the Pearl Jam night July 20, 2018. Oakland came back and the Ms won it in the bottom of the 10th. Sat in the vaccinated area in center. Thanks to the As reliever who gave my wife a baseball at the bull pen. Great day and warm. Finishing it off with seafood dinner at Doc's on the Island.

In two weeks my wife flies to Oakland and I'm going to finally go summer steelheading. Yeah!

I was just watching some guy singing God Bless America on a ball game and it hit me. That's the only song that ever had the world "foam" in it. And for good reason. You don't want to hear love songs with the word "foam" in it.

"oh baby, give me that foamy twat", just doesn't have a ring to it.

Bump cause this is greater than sh!tposting about #maga

Been a good season. Hopefully y’all bump this occasionally!

Big bump Greinke did great tonight for Houston. Oakland houston going down the stretch, might have to pay jake his 100.

NL West is annoyingly competitive.

Went to a San Diego game last night, I must say, petco park is beautiful! Fuk the Padres though.

Can you take your pets to Petco Park?

I turned on Root Sports NW last night and Haniger hit a grand salami to break the tie. Ohtani hit a homer earlier.

Ohtani is a beast.

Oakland you can take your dog (reefer’s wife) a couple times a year, not sure about petco but you’d think!

Been there a few times. Not bad but wtf is with that building in left field? I prefer that SF Coke bottle. And yes, I slid down that slide while being old.

Ha.

p.s.

Why does the NL West have to have so many pain in the ass teams? Damn. Fvck Padres and Gigantes.






Go Mariners.

Home derby was fun! Congrats to Pete ‘polar bear’ Alonso!

Well, the Mariners have gone and made the next moves almost impossible to do without some reservations...they're almost good enough to win a wild card spot, maybe, but probably not going to be in contention for the division title.

Do they buy another player or two and make a run for that wild card spot to break the playoff drought?

Do they stick with the plan, trade Haniger on Friday for another handful of prospects, probably giving up on making the playoffs this year, but really upping the odds of being really good starting next year, and into the foreseeable future?

With one more year of Haniger under contract, they could keep him, get one or two good players here at the deadline, give up a few of their second tier prospects (not first tier, no sir), and see if they can both make the playoffs this year, and sell Haniger for a few good prospects in the offseason, and while that would delay the end of the rebuild a little, it might not be too bad.

I was lucky enough to have Diamond Club tickets for last night's game...going down 6-0 in the first was not an auspicious start for a rookie pitcher, but that come back was pretty great, and Dylan Moore's two out grand slam to take the lead in the 8th was kind of fantastic to watch.

Safeco is a nice stadium for sure.


I think relief pitchers and starting pitchers are the du jour of teams at the trade deadline (just like any year). So hard to say about Haniger. How the Mariners have their record based on their run differential is curious.

All I think I know is Scherzer is going to SF, LA or HOU.

Last night's game was awesome. I like watching this team. I doubt they'll make the playoffs (still plenty of time to catch Marineritis and fade into obscurity), but they only seem to be getting better, so who knows?

Now that the Mariners are getting almost good, I expect to see management trading or selling off the best performing players, as is Seattle baseball tradition. Seattle is a farm team for major league baseball and has that tradition to uphold.

Well, yesterday's trade was about the most tone deaf and ill timed trade that the Mariners have ever pulled off.

Totally stepped on their own dick.

Fish on...

The board needs a little ginger to cleanse the palate. Bump for the trade deadline and the M’s to keep screwing up.

My favorite mariner move was the Erik bedard trade.
