Game 95 Open Thread - Mariners (36-57) at Royals (42-52)
Seattle Mariners @ Kansas City Royals
The Mariners are a bunch of disgusting scalawags who aren't fit to dig the graves in a Finnish pet cemetery. Thanks to last night's brilliant victory, not only did Luke Hochevar reaffirm the power of the human spirit, but the Royals began to regain critical territory in the northwest quadrant of Albany County. From the campus of UW to the county border, all of Albany is solidly in our hands. The key for the Royals is to keep the Mariners on their heels and continue pushing back the teal and silver, hopefully out of Natrona and Converse counties altogether by the end of the weekend.
via grfx.cstv.com
All thirteen members of the Wildfire Dance Squad pledged themselves to the Royals after last night's victory. They will spend Saturday afternoon passing out anti-Mariner propaganda, most notably, a chapbook titled Jose Vidro is the Beastman.
Tonight's battle promises to be especially dramatic, as The Epic (4.67 ERA) himself returns to vanquish his hated former friends. Facing off against Gil will be your standard issue Mariner villain, J ---- (the name is too damn ugly to even spell) Washburn (5.03 ERA).

I appreciate that
but I’ll disagree a little, there is much more potential in there…..Middle row, 1st from left, 3rd from left, even the one lieing down on the right…..here’s what I’ll do, I’ll trade the one I already claimed to you and I’ll just take those 3 I just named…haha this is my fantasy

What about the back row,
second from left (in-between the redhead and ms. hairdye), she looks worth a sandwich pick.
And I bet they all have great personalities.

Interesting
2008 – 42 – 52
2007 – 41 – 53
2006 – 32 – 62
2005 – 34 – 60
2004 – 35 – 59
Only a game better this year than last at this point in the season. Very surprising to me because it still feels like this team is much better (albeit with some holes). Wow 04-06 was tough, though, wasn’t it? I think ‘04 hurt the worst, though, because of the excitement going into the season. Looking back, people should have realized what was coming, but at the time, I was so pumped for the season.

I appreciate your attempt at humor
but are you suggesting that Grudz getting his 2000th hit (however he does it) isn’t something that is an amazing accomplishment? He will become the 251st player in MLB history to reach that milestone and that is pretty damn special….I, personally, think it’s very cool that he will do it in a Royals uniform.

oh no...it is...i just find it funny that theres a headline in the star that says he'll keep his 2000th hit....
like really, where the hell else is it gonna go? it is a great accomplishment though. My hatred for how he has played this year and the fact that he shouldnt be on this team doesnt cloud my judgement that much.
