And this right here is why the Mariners are lunatics/idiots for continuing the charade.

Yeah, a couple more trainwrecks like today and I'm 100% with you on it

But with the Mariners' luck, he'll catch until March 16th, when he tears his ACL diving for a foul pop and is out for the year and never fully recovers from it

poo poo the whole city should be a dinger machine. Klaxons will sound, buildings will retract into the ground and giant dolphins and flamingos will be raised in their place. All people of Miami will have to stop whatever they are doing and stand in awe of the almighty dinger.

I love that if we were hit by a huge meteor tomorrow and all of us died, that this would have a chance of actually happening. I love that idea. So much.

If we're lucky, he can last til Burnett's back and Brad Lincoln will be good, and we won't have to see much Kevin Correia.

The best part about the Dinger Machine video is the handheld shaky-cam, as if it's a scene from a found-footage movie about a huge, gaudy, technicolor monster.

It's true. I don't like the fact that the Marlins have canceled 45 home games and will be replacing them with dinger machine shows, as these cannot happen at the same time.

The Apple malfunctioning on back to back homers and the fans chanting "APPLE" for twenty minutes is perhaps the only real highlight of Citi Field's existence not involving homers hit off Met pitchers.

I don't like the Yankees but I think sitting in their bleachers would be the most entertaining thing ever.

Also what is the circumstances of this? Did some Ranger drop a ball?

Edit: Oh never mind he caught a home run ball.
