Game Day #102: Mariners @ White Sox

Should RRS have been left in the game to be pummelled?

Sure. The game was already lost and the bullpen was tired	[ 11 ]	[78.57%]
No. That's the best way to ruin a guy.	[ 3 ]	[21.43%]

On Vacation
I haven't watched a game in days, which seems like a good thing based on the accounts of last night's contest. Anyway, that means I have no witty insights or cogent commentary to share. Just a basic old gamethread.

Go M's! Bleach The Sox!

They had Branyan picked off at first but Figgins ran towards home triggering a bad throw home. 2-0 Smoak with the Sac Fly brings in Branyan. 3-0 Bard follows with a double.

Group: Home Run Boosters Posts: 5,681 Joined: 6-February 08 Member No.: 96	It seems French was scheduled to start yesterday for the Rainiers but was pulled just before the game started. That means the Mariners had decided to promote French by 7 pm last night. I figured it out when I was checking the Rainier rotation, but then I found it at the official site. French will be in the bullpen for a couple of days, then will probably be put into the rotation to take Ryan's spot. Petit was pulled out of the Rainiers bullpen to start the game. He pitched well for 5 innings and the bullpen did even better for the last 4 innings and the Rainiers won. This post has been edited by Vidya: Jul 28 2010, 05:38 PM -------------------- Pay no attention to all the frustrating losses. It's all part of the master plan. Even number years are bad luck for the Mariners. It's all about 2011, and preparing for a World Series run next year.

If were going to lose a hundred... bring the kids up. What the heck. At least they'll be excited to suit up every day. Heck, while I'm getting all nutty... maybe Ichiro retires honorably after the season if he doesn't reach 200 hits freeing up $18 million a year. Go ahead Ichiro... slump away. He can then take up fashion design full time. -------------------- Seattle Wizards * 18+ National Seattle NABA

I've predicted that August will be a better month, for no better reason than the Mariners have done better in even number months this year. Still, when better is a 90+ loss season, it really doesn't matter. -------------------- Pay no attention to all the frustrating losses. It's all part of the master plan.
