M's-Cards: I Know You're Watching

Tonight, inter-league play blesses us with another blood-feud in the making: The Seattle Mariners at the St. Louis Cardinals.  It's ol' Adam Wainwright vs. some left handed slab of meat whose teammates almost certainly affectionately call him Frenchy.  He's already being pummeled about, but the M's have scored some runs as well.  3-2 Cards is the score after two full frames, and the game is on ESPN.

As a Redlegs enthusiast, you have an obligation to tune in and root, root, root for your Seattle Mariners!  Let's get em, boys!

So Harpoon makes this "big bohemian pilsner"

I definitely did not realize it was 9% ABV.

This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.

that was gross

I was glad I wasn’t watching in HD for that one.

I don't think this was posted anywhere

TLR apparently got on Colby after a play in the Reds’ series, where he jaked it going after a Rolen single.

I didn’t realize there was that much bad blood between Griffey and the Mariners.

So I hardly ever pay attention to the American League

but I thought the Mariners were supposed to be good this year. I mean, isn’t that why they traded for Cliff Lee?

They were a sexy pre-season darkhorse

Mainly built on defense. But you’ve got to have some hitting. They’re second to last in runs because Figgins hasn’t hit yet and they get terrible production at the infield corners. Ichiro’s got only 28 runs so far, and he’s had a good year.

by ken on Jun 14, 2010 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

nothing they did worked out

The moves they made…well, what happened with Griffey says it all. They made what seemed to be good moves, but none of them have worked out. The pieces they got just didn’t seem to fit in.

The Seattle radio announcer is getting so excited about the Cards' offense

that I actually had to double check I wasn’t listening to the Cardinal feed. It’s practically George Grande-esque.

well the Cardinals couldn't be bad every night

unfortunately we’ve got to play better against a good team. Hopefully that Royals series doesn’t become a major misstep

and

did you hear them going on about the bullpen?

And we were worried!

Why did I bench Chone Figgins vs. Wainwright?

Of course he’s 2-2 with a run scored.

As I suspected, switching over to I’m Gonna Get You Sucka was a wise move.

or the Astros

they had a pretty good run of it in the late 90’s and early 0’s.

I guess the Cubs or Brewers could get hot

but I’m just hoping the Reds find a way to play .550 ball for the season (as opposed to the .463 ball I think they’ll play)

weird choice if true

His numbers aren’t that impressive, considering he’s in AA.

If the Reds really have called him up, they could be banking on his GB rate translating to success with their infield because there is little else in his current numbers to instill confidence in him at the MLB level.

It's from MLB Trade Rumors Reds twitter feed

Found here:

Reds called up reliever Jordan Smith from Double A, MLBTR has learned.

As far as I can tell, that is the only origin for this rumor.

It’s weird that none of the beat guys are reporting this. Between Ben Jukich’s playing around and this, I think Twitter is messing with me.
