YAY, WE'RE GOING FOR THE WAIVER WIRE (NOT!) 

If Pat Gillick was the second best GM in the history of baseball, he would have had a guy like Jeff Conine over a month ago. Instead, he opts to wait for the waiver wire, and look what happens: Jeff Conine is a Florida Marlin.

Obviously, the Marlins have a worse record than the Mariners, but it doesn't excuse the fact that Gillick could have gotten a bat for the bench over a month ago. He knew that Greg Colbrunn was going to be out for the season and he has to know that Edgar Martinez' hamstring (or toe, hell, any body part) can perform Operation:Shutdown at any time. Nobody can argue this point at all, because there is no argument. Boy, I'm really looking forward to having 87 year old Pat Borders on the bench...why not give Kelly Gruber a call while you're at it, Pat?

Hell, for entertainment's sake, call George Bell. We need a DJ in the clubhouse, you know.
