Just heard that Zunino might get a call-up soon. Kind of a weird decision since he wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire in Triple A.
I suppose that if it's true it's a desperation move by Z. "Oh shit, I'm going to lose my job soon. Might as well ruin another prospect while I'm still here."
And fuck. Youk's out again with back problems. As weird as it's been seeing him in a Yankees jersey, he hasn't really played for us at all. On a positive note, more playing time for Adams :).
Hack Wilson - real:
Wang is pitching tonight for the Blue Jizz

Nah, it's because Sucre and Montero are both hurt and Shoppick is a backup that's been playing too much. It's more about need at the position than anything, and the guy comes from a baseball background and isn't going to shit himself if he struggles a bit. LOL @ "ruin another prospect". C'mon man.

Oh didn't know about those injuries (guess I'm not as knowledgeable about the M's as I thought lol). And hey, I'm just calling it like it is ;). Or rather I'm just quoting something I saw from a frantic M's fan on Twitter that's losing their faith.
BTW how many times have you guys ever seen a live baseball game?
Like I just purchased a ticket on tm today and in a week or so I'll be going to my first ever mlb game at Yankee Stadium.
I know that's like a "WTF" statement but because I lived in Japan for the past few years my only means of watching games was by watching tv. And unfortunately/naturally the only games they ever broadcasted were either Mariners games or Red Sox games, and maybe a few Matsui games when he was with the Angels & Athletics. In retrospect I'm amazed at how I ever survived going 2+ years watching nothing but incredibly shitty teams and games. The only exception being the 2011 World Series.
Still I'm stoked. And already have my Cano jersey nice and ready.

Yes, JMS (Jaded Mariner Fan Syndrome) runs rampant.
I've honestly been to more games than I can really count. I grew up going to games with my dad, and even now in my 20's my friends and I normally go in on five game packages. Nothing like a day at the ballpark.
