THE BAILOUT
I've found how to fill some space here, and it's not a total waste of time. I'm pretty sure any AOL Instant Messenger keeps a message log of past chats. Well, though I have it linked through Trillian, I still have a message log. There's some message loggings between myself and fellow blog colleague Jeremy. Here is the first installment.
By the way, the log conspicuously starts on March 31st and is still running.
The following is from April 1st. You may remember that as opening day for the 2003 Mariners. After bitching about Erubiel Durazo not being a Mariner, we embarked on this--

-David: and what the hell are they spending a roster spot on carrara when they could use another lefty...
(later...)
-David: oh man, vasgersian's call on bonds' homer is priceless
-David: "you gotta be shavin me"
-Jeremy: i'll have to check that out later
-Jeremy: btw, call me nuts, but I'd go for John Rocker as the 2nd lefty right about now
-David: just wait for the late sportscenters...it'll probably repeat a few times
-David: that's sad
-David: what's sad is that doug creek sucked, but he was still an option
-David: if they can't get anyone, and i can't see why they wouldn't have a chance to, i say rush madritsch up, as much as i hate saying that
-Jeremy: it is sad, but I have forgiven Rocker for his past probs. He's still a fovl, but he's a lefty, and hasn't caused any trouble in the past couple of yeras
-David: [unrelated subject]
-Jeremy: but you know damn well the m's wont' get rocker, to preserve their PC image
(end chat excerpt)
Yes, that's right. We have evidence from OPENING DAY that we were bitching about the Mariners not having a second lefty in the bullpen. And did it come back to bite the Mariners? Hell, I don't know. Depends on whether you think Arthur Rhodes had a great second half. Or a great season after giving up the grand slam to Rondell White. You make the call.
