I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
The Bad News: No, you still haven't gotten rid of me.
The Good News: I'll be on a vacation for the rest of the week.

...pls father forgive me
for my terrible post history...
Swapping out hot-hitting/pretty stellar SS Chris Taylor for all-around-poo poo Brad Miller the first night of a crucial series against the Blue Jays augurs well for dropping Game 1 against the Blue Jays. While it's true Felix Hernandez will likely hold the Blue Jays to two or less runs, as he has done all season against every team, it is unlikely that the Mariners will score more than two runs, as they have done all season against most teams.

Calling a one run loss after the Mariners pull Felix as they fail to generate any semblance of offense (recent history notwithstanding).

Literally only 3 blue jays hitters tonight were on the team on opening day, and one of them was the back up catcher for the cubs. :goku:

edit: oh i guess colbys in there too. Please club a home run, it's felt like ages.

JV looked mad after that sac bunt, did Kate break up with him again before the game? I swear, she's the loving devil.

Also... :lol: Avila

Edit: JV out after the first inning. He's even going to suck in the bullpen.

Tigers trade for David Price, and Anibal Sanchez gets injured and Justin Verlander gets sick.

Okay.

He's clearly ill, he ran straight to the dugout and out after bunting.

btw, NL ball is stupid.

Pittsburgh might get 19 runs tonight.
