PrintLos Angeles Angels of Tempe @ Seattle Mariners of Peoria - 12:05 PM
Washington Mutual was bought out by JP Morgan, Boeing Moved to Chicago, Starbucks has closed 1,000 stores, Melinda Gates is not allowed to have an i-Phone and her kids wants macs, Steve Ballmer is psychotic and the Sonics left for Oklahoma.
Looks like they're gonna have to get motivated to win one for Dale Chihuly I guess....

finally some regulars in the lineup! and it looks like the seamen learned their lesson from their “statement game” last year, and decided to bring in the B-squad for this game. lol..
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
His arm is fine but at times he's shaky tracking/catching the ball.
I don’t see a gold glove in his future.
I hear that...
but Abreu hasn’t played left in a long time and I haven’t heard anything positive about his defense.
I imagine Scioscia will alternate Abreau, Vlad, and Johnny Rivers among LF, RF, and DH...
Outfield defense most likely will be a downgrade from last year.
i wonder how kendeick is doing this spring?
health wise, Those overdeveloped quads of his always worry me. Oh he was just robbed of a hit
We'll DO IT LIVE!!!!!
Devils advocate wonders if Seattle could be more of a division force
if Bedard is healthy this season. He probably won’t stay healthy, but just for the sake of argument.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Hmmmm
Lackey > Bedtard
Santana > Bedtard
Weaver = Bedtard
Saunders Grumpy Bedtard
Same equations for All 4 Vs. Queen Felix
All 4>Wahburn
All 4 + Moseley/Loux>Silva
Yeah, I forgot they still had Silva.
They’re not going anywhere this year.

Maybe....I have learned to never predict anything in this game.
But, Terry Smith noted earlier in the broadcast that the only 2 Mariners with more tahn 10 HRs last year are gone (Ibanez, Sexson).
Morrow is 3rd on their depth chart for starters (previously a reliever), and Silva 4th. They would need a good adjustment from Morrow, bounce back year from Silva to be taken seriously, or some other good luck.
Sexson had 11; Jose Lopez 17, and as Ezzra says Belch-tre had 25 Funky Flatulent Blasts. Check your cochlea for blockage, sothball! ;)

Maybe it was this:
“Only 2 of the 4 players with 10 or more home runs from the Mariner’s 2008 squad remain after the departure of Ibanez and Sexson.”

I only half-pay attention at work...I should have checked what I heard.
Actually, I blame Phyz (budding kindergarten teacher). My ears grow callouses when he speaks (blocked the ear enema too)…
He can certainly be a cochlear enema, can’t he?

Oh god... Scioscia just gave up on this game
Speier makes his first appearance.
Napoli IS the power bat in 2009. Watch.
Last season was probably an anomaly
He’s never had that much of a problem with the homerun ball, so last year might just be an outlier. We’ll have to wait and see, but with Arredondo, Shields, and Fuentes, he won’t be pitching high leverage innings anyway.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
What a couple of homers--Moralas has an upside to Tex--in who's universe
I am a fair weather fan so the Angels better win!
I'm sure, because I thought the same thing at first
But then they said it was over the departed Kotchman.

I sure hope...
Reggie “3 & 2” Willits picks up his offense this year. Everyone like chanting “Reggie! Reggie!” right
.293/.391/.344 in 430 AB's
and 5th in ROY voting
by MidwayCityLivestock on Mar 5, 2009 1:33 PM PST up reply actions
yeah he was huge in 07.........
what is he 5th on the OF depth chart probably? Barring any huge injury he’s not gonna get anymore than 120 AB’s I dont think

So if I'm ready this right...
He batted .194 with108 ABs in 2008? Yikes! I thought the dude had a batting cage in his bedroom. What gives?
We payed too much for GMJ, we signed Torii Hunter, and pitchers figured out
that if you just throw the ball over the plate (which they didn’t do in 07) that he can’t really hurt you with his bat.

are you guys listening? Also, is there gameday anywhere?

Gameday
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_03_05_anamlb_seamlb_1
Just bookmark this page. When you want the latest game day, go to this bookmark, click on ‘today’ in upper right hand corner, select daily game of choice.
well, it's not that great.
way behind what is actually happening. It took some time for that HK homer to actually show up.
thanks! gameday is allowed, but headphones or audio are a no-no…

Wonder how GA’s doing adjusting to his first “non-Angels” camp in his career. I hope he does well.
by Downing Rules on Mar 5, 2009 2:49 PM PST up reply actions
Remember when Shelton hit 10 HR's in April 2006?
And everyone was like holy **** next Pujols? Yeah. Good times.
Plugging the upside since 2006.

He's got 3 this spring.
Seems like someone could give him a Jack Cust-style shot at DH.
~Till the Halo burns out...
BTW, I just noticed this, but Brian Fuentes is marked as our closer on the MLB
depth chart. Did I miss something? Is there some area where ET (Arredondo) would NOT be a better choice?
Plugging the upside since 2006.
Never give up, never surrender!
One of my goals this season is to try really hard at giving Fuentes a fair shake.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Why does this situation seem familiar...

Just another BEATDOWN of the Mariners!

Yep. Jeff Mathis, King of the Cactus League, suffers no challengers. :P
