Mariners Morsels - aka "Free Adam Moore and Rich Poythress! (George Sherrill is FREE!)"

Okay. Now it really looks like I'm flying solo again. In light of this, I've been trying to think of some creative, yet easy-to-maintain, tidbit that will make this blog a little more interesting, give it a little bit of personality, and help me stay motivated to keep it alive. Enter the "What the F**K!?!" (whenever I feel like it) thread. I promise to have one weekly. I'll even try to do it daily, as I'm totally confident that: as long as 1) Hargrove is managing this team; 2) Bavasi is its GM; and 3) Howard Lincoln is its CEO, there's enough fodder to find something to say "What the F**K!?!" about at least once a day. So, without further adieu and in honor of Gilbert Godfried/VH-1 (and needing little further introduction, but merely to say -- with a hint of harmony sung by the guys from Almost Live's "Lame List"), "What the F**K!?!":

• Willie Bloomquist has started four (make that..five --Corco) days in a row. Say it with me now: "What the F**K!?!"
• Pat Borders has started 5 out of the last 6. (WTF?!?)
  --In addition, Rene Rivera was sent down to have Olivo be Borders' backup (hence the need for PB to start so frequently. (WTF?!?)
• Scott Spiezio pinch hit for Chris Snelling (WTF?!?)
• Beltre is finally hitting somewhere other than third -- and shows us that a Mariners third baseman can actually hit a ball (and hit some home runs, to boot). (WTF?!?) Oh, yeah -- this whole WTF thing can also mean, "Hey, it's about damn time!"
• The M's lost to the worst team in the AL. So much for the season sweep... (WTF?!?)

That's all for today. There's a whole lot more, but I'll save some for later.
