Not making any friends being a Phillies fan.... especially winning today over my Mets!

I'm hoping the Mets implode like they usually do although the Braves are quietly sneaking in there. :(

Like a dagger though my heart. We should be hoping either of ours buts an end to the Braves' reign

It's been quiet on the MLB front so I thought I would stop by and give a quick little report of two players. These two players are from the best team in Seattle... no not the Seattle Storm... this is MLB. I mean The Mariners! It's just a quick look at two off season additions:

Jarrod Washburn, Mariners: The Mariners needed a proven starter, but most of the best wanted way too much money, so the M's ended up with Washburn (four years, $37.5 million), a workmanlike and stand-up lefty who has been ... well, workmanlike is about it. He's 3-5 with a 4.04 ERA. The record might be a little better, but he's getting some of the worst run support (3.9 runs an outing) in the AL. Bottom line: Even mediocrity costs.

Kenji Johjima, Mariners: The numbers at the plate are OK (.275, five homers, 25 RBIs) and the defense, despite all that preseason worrying over communication, appears fine. Johjima, the first Japanese catcher to play in the bigs, certainly is an upgrade for the Mariners. But at least one scout, talking to the Seattle Times, questioned Johjima's pitch-calling. And Johjima has been ineffective hitting on the road (.220). It's a work in progress in Seattle. At three years, $16.5 million, it's not a cheap one. Bottom line: An expensive necessity.

At least bubbles is a bit more realistic with her expectations. ;)

Well it was fun having you around jim. I hope wherever you are that you don't make any more racist/sexist comments and you can actually get along with the people. We're all easy to get along with if you don't go out your way to offend anyone, which you did. Cheers and happy badge hunting.
