Mariners vs. Angels- Game Thread

Well as a celebration that May is now over combined with the win today, I thought it was okay to come out and post and in-game thread diary that affects the division.  The Mariners are currently trying like hell to make up the deficit and have cut it to 4-3 as of now.  Let's see if our end to May can end with a Mariner victory and get us a little closer, as Hawk would say, to the "bad guys."

Take her with you.

Make her run out on the field and deliver right there. I'm sure Swish would be glad to help.

Yanks.

In the top of the ninth, Posada hit a high popup to the left side that should have been the third out.  As A-Rod was rounding the bases, he passed directly behind the third baseman and in front of the shortstop.  Just as the ball was about to tbe caught by the third baseman, he inexplicably looked back at the shortstop, and the ball dropped between them.

The third baseman started jawing with A-Rod, apparently claiming that A-Rod yelled something ("I got it"?) to distract him as the ball landed.  Gibbons came out, umpires had to separate some players, the catcher started mouthing off to Giambi...good times.

AP Recap

Replays showed Rodriguez shouting something, and Clark backed off at the last second. McDonald was only a few steps behind Clark, but couldn't make the catch and ball dropped for an RBI single.

"I just said, 'Hah!' That's it," Rodriguez said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

McDonald started jawing with Rodriguez, and third base umpire Chad Fairchild got between them. Toronto manager John Gibbons came out to argue, and exchanged words with Rodriguez and third base coach Larry Bowa before leaving the field as plate umpire Eric Cooper intervened. Rodriguez stayed on the bag with a smirk.

Random question. Do you ever imagine that every

player speaks perfect English whether they have an accent or speak another language?  I know what Kiko sounds like, for instance, but I always think that he would speak perfect English sans accent whenever I see him on the mound.  Stupid I know... but please tell me I'm not alone??

That is the 5th break that they've caught tonight

You can certainly tell who is on a hot streak.  June is coming.  June.  Is.  Coming.

another unfortunate incident that helps LAAAA

gosh they have caught a lot of breaks tonight.

"Shitburger, Skip?"

by ohtobe21likehuston on May 30, 2007 9:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Bases loaded. Pop up beyond short that is caught

and Dino sends the runner on a tag-up.  The throw from Yuni hits the side of the mound and LAA scores.  It was a very shallow play and the runner could have easily been gunned down.  Last year... they would have been thrown out.

well... hoping to see a comeback off K-rod but

they have to hold 'em in the 8th first.  Let's hope his breaking ball is all over the place but I think I already know the outcome.

Hi everyone!

Gawds, I'm late.  So I see the boys won today.  Good way to end May.  Now if we could only get the M's to help out against the West Coast version of the Evil Empire...

hearing about that yankee

game with the dropped popup incident...I'd like to see it and naturally when I WANT to see a Yankee highlight on ESPN, it just doesn't seem to come around for me when I tune in.

Hmmmm...looks like A-Rod maybe went a little out of way to get to 3rd base.

by LilAnnieOaktown on May 30, 2007 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

K-Rod throws mostly balls and gets 3 K's

Gosh it's frustrating to see guys continually swing at that stuff but I couldn't do any better.  We stay within 6 games.
