I HATE THE 2004 SEATTLE MARINERS
Raul Ibanez commenting on yesterday's game, a 9-7 Red Sox victory in 12 innings capped off by superhack David McCarty's walkoff home run:
"I know the overall result today wasn't what we wanted," Ibanez said. "But for me, there were a lot of positive things in the way we came back against Schilling, then Foulke. There's a lot of good to take from this game."
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT???
There's nothing good to take from Sunday's game, Raul.
NOTHING!
Either you win or you lose, it's that simple. There are no moral victories, Raul. This team is 18-31 and all the moral victories in the world cannot save this trainwreck of a season.
Curt Schilling had a perfect game going through 5 2/3 innings. Like David, I was hoping for some history as well. Randy Winn's breakup of the perfect game is the definition of my "WHEN YOU WIN, YOU LOSE" theory. Sure, the Mariners broke up Schilling's perfect game. That's good, right?
No, it isn't.
For me, Schilling tossing a perfect game would have been the highlight of the season so far. When your team is in the cellar, you tend to think like this. But don't blame me, blame this inept front office. They're the ones who constructed this trainwreck of a roster.
For the optimists who say, "don't panic"...it's past time.
IT'S MEMORIAL DAY AND THIS TEAM IS 18-31. 11 and a half games behind Anaheim. So much for some people's theories of hoping that the M's start off slow and finish strong, a "reversal" of past seasons.
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, FOLKS!
This team is done. It's not the first time I've said this, but the fact is, it's Memorial Day. DOES ANYBODY SEE THIS TEAM MAKING A RUN? I don't see it. If you do, please send me what you're smoking. I could use some of it right now.
Well, the M's are back home this week to kick off a 2-week homestand, beginning tonight against Toronto. I get to watch 2 games over the next two weeks, Sunday night against the White Sox on ESPN and next Wednesday against the Astros on Fox Sports Southwest.
Yes, I'll watch these games. Because quite frankly, I need some high comedy in my life.
