Series Thread: Orioles at Mariners - 8/14 - 8/16

Problem is, I am not sure what is his "best asset". Not hiring a manager or trading prospects that is for sure.

You watch they'll fire Stottlemyre for this, they need to blame someone and the word "injuries" will not cut it!

And I love the message M's send when a guy comes up for one game and does his job only to wake up and finding out he was sent back down. I mean our pen has been getting clobbered and Vieira gets them 1-2-3 and is sent down. What message does that end?

That they wouldn't want someone setting a precedent for the team?

So according to Blowers and Goldy on TV, M's don't believe in competition. According to them, the OF is all young (though Dyson is 33 and a free agent) and so talented that O'Neill had no chance to play for us any time soon. Hard to believe we aren't a perpetual winner with their winning philosophy.

Ya, since Heredia or Gamel have a track record to give up a top prospect and lord knows Haniger has proven he isn't as fragile as Paxton.

Wow, they took two games out of three and managed to inch their way back to .500 again...

On to Tampa, where we're sure to find new ways to go under.

So Diaz walks the bases load and hits two guys before Servais decides to lift him. M's are damn lucky they didn't blow it today.

Wasn't even Servais that pulled him. After he got rung it was actually Bogar. Maybe that's the key.

Oh interesting. I just looked at the box score, I usually can't catch these early games during the week. At this point I think I would definitely prefer Bogar over Servais.

I was calling Dejavu all over again, but luckily the ump had a trigger finger and tossed Servais when he did. That toss won us the game. I'm tired of Servais' lack of know how managing the bullpen, he's cost us the WC spot period.

I didn't see this game, was it intentional? I was wondering if they were going to get him back for going hard and essentially winning the game when he broke up that double play the other night.

It's a 50/50 split between him and the players, some of these guys can't live up to the mini hype when it's a big game...

No it just got away from him late on the count. I haven't heard an update yet.
