Fodder for WG

The three-game sweep was the first by the Mariners this season, and the winning pitchers - Jarrod Washburn, Carlos Silva and Erik Bedard - were getting their first wins of June. Silva was riding a majors-worst run of 12 straight winless decisions (including nine losses) before he defeated the Padres on Saturday.

OK, everybody.

Let’s just all calm down…this is a bad start…but we can recover. Remember when we had that 3-0 lead on the Twins???

wholeheartedly disagree

i can’t think of one.

he’s on Boeringer and Klesko status almost.

not quite to Ryno yet (my anti-christ) but close.

yeah and i feel bad

because the concussion has clearly left him addled, and therefore caused the game to pass him by.
but jesus. so frustrating.

i’ve said it before i’ll say it again. he was (as of last start) hitting .056 on the road.

thats not even funny anymore, its just sad

No...it's understandable.

He’s been terrible here. It’s like he just forgot how to hit. He was never good defensively…but he could always hit.

almost forgot about him.

if you think about it he is the blueprint for the Padres catcher of today.

hitting .215, questionable arm, silly facial hair.

he had all the pieces.
