Some random thoughts from tonight’s Mariner game:
1. The Angels are just better. It’s the Wildcard or nothing for this group.
2. The M’s should simply walk Vlad every time, no matter what the circumstance. EVERY time.
3. Why do the M’s hitters seem to “check-out” on a regular basis? Five in the first, and then I would have taken most of the hitters in the Little League WS over them.
4. What’s the deal with that freakin’ umpire in the weird glasses, and what’s his beef with the M’s??
5. Sexon is ridiculous. Not only does he make outs – LOTS of them – but they are all just terrible outs: double plays, inability to move runners up; no RBIs, strike outs, weak pop outs. Ridiculous.
6. You CANNOT walk leadoff hitters. Period.
7. I don’t normally rip on umpires. But I don’t ever recall remember every key close call going against one team in two games like they have in this series.
8. Why – with first base open – would you hang a breaking ball up and in the middle of the plate to the best hitter in the world during a critical juncture in the game? Just wonderin’….
9. SANTA CLAUSE??!! Are you freakin’ KIDDING me??!! SANTA CLAUS??! You bring in Santa Claus with the bases loaded, the game in the balance and Vlad coming to the plate?? Santa Clause?? Please. Sometimes games are won and lost in the seventh. Bring in JJ. This game matters, for #@*& sake. Maybe the dude should try purple for that god awful beard tomorrow.
10. Seattle has the worst fans in the world. Bar none. The wave. For GAWD’S sake, the wave. And not only that they did it, but they did it late in the game with their team on defense, and behind by a run. UnbeLIEVable. Criminey.
11. I need alcohol.
:drinking:
