Game 82, Blue Jays at Mariners

Halladay vs Dickey. 7:10.
It’ll be interesting to see what Riggleman does with his lineup now that they’re back home. The road trip was a mixed bag but overall a decided improvement on McLaren. Here’s hoping Riggleman continues to put out serviceable units on the field..
No clubhouse chemistry forecast yet: you’d think that the San Diego sweep would energize the team and bring everyone together towards a shared purpose, but who can say? Only the experts, the experts tell us, and unfortunately, they’re not talking.

I think Riggleman should throw Dickey back-to-back games just for the hell of it. He’s more entertaining to watch than Batista or RRS.
They don’t stop at just cotton candy, oh no, we needed rally fries! I would prefer a Rally get Halladay out of the game Fry but you get what you can take I guess.
fine Halladay-esque moment
The bats, oh noes!!
97: I don’t think Selig would care for that. Wait, maybe he would, because the syrup in the bats would of course be sponsored by some syrup company, meaning more sponsor money.
Beltre obviously doesn’t have the literally-maple brand.
wonder if it the local director, or a request from the Ms– as pretty much every other area’s FSN broadcast seems to focus on pulchritude.
103-was that a 2- or a 4-seam veggie in the commercial?
Did Richie just ask Halladay for time? What has he done to deserve that? I’d have thrown the pitch.
make up call at third ….i am in shock that richie hit the ball
msb wins comment of the day for use of the word “pulchritude”
hey! is any one but Willie allowed to show ‘hustle’?
50 – Are you conceding now?
Jeremy Reed=The New Grit
Pull the trigger Clement. Swing away. It’s ok, you’re still awesome in my book.

I haven’t had to bust out the old dictionary in a long time, great comment.
Big Dick’s AB was already ruined by that horrid ‘swing’ for strike 2. So much for his priors though.
so was that really strike three?
I thought so…tough pitch to hit though.
Mariners, Funk Blast
Jack In The Box, Funk
Vern Fonk, We’ve got the Fonk.
I’m getting a little tired of the funk.
Tracer says strike 3. HELL of a pitch. I can already see the strikeout montage that SportsCenter is putting together of Clement looking three times…
That inning hurt my soul
119… it could be much worse, they could bring back “Abba.”
nevermind
120: Um, except, why would ESPN waste that much time on the Mariners/Blue Jays? The most we’ll get is a box score…
ahem.
I think Jeff needs to enjoy his enjoyment more.
Department of redundancy department.
Griffey hit a walkoff bomb. Good for him.
there you go, a change of images– it’s Jays fans drinking beer.
how ever did MLB miss that obvious “MammaMia” tie-in opportunity?
so I’m guessing maybe that the surge of that last road trip wasn’t so much the glory that is Riggleman, but more the sadness that is the cellar of the NL.
do you have to be A Professional Hitter to ‘hit the ball with authority’?
There is a special badge you have to carry
Can you hit the ball with authority 5 times and get a single every time?
112 – It must be due to Roy getting hit on the head, but I’ll concede.
Halladay vs Dickey.
I had no idea there was such a simple way to renew my love of baseball that the Mariners have been sucking dry. Knuckleballs and general pitcher domination. Be better if the Mariners won, but definitely not essential this season.
131: The better question is what happens to those that don’t swing with authority. Is WFB anarchy with a bat?
Can’t they just say RRS gets the start? They have to insist “all available bullpen arms” will be used like every other Mariner pitcher throws complete games all the time. They need to put that under all the starters besides Felix.
What exactly did Willie do on that double play?
Anyone watching sportscenter? they just showed highlights of the current playing mariners game and they probably got everyones name wrong that they did a highlight of, it was really sad. called clement, lopez to start it lol.
Ummm… Why did gameday decide to put up a higlight video of Johjima hitting a routine groundball to Eckstein? Has this game really had so little highlights?
Domination by Halladay…a thing of beauty if you are rooting for the Jays.
or if he’s on your fantasy team. I’ll take it.
haha, complete game, 4 hitter. For sure.
He is on my fantasy team, but I’m not so happy… But this game went about how I expected. I guess they scored less than I would have thought. And Sexson got two more hits than I thought he would.
133 Agreed. Fabulous game. And between last place teams.
Once again – so much depends on who’s pitching that day.
Well, at lest we didn’t score negative runs like I was expecting.
Dammit. I wish to hell Sexson would stop getting his occasional crap singles so we can finally release him already. I was sure he and Vidro would be gone as soon as the plane touched back down in Seattle yesterday.
I’m not letting “The Feed” nickname slip away from RRS… that is too awesome – we have to find a way to use that! Come on guys, what else are we going to do anyway?
