Quoted: This whole situation with expecting value back for Washburn is absurd on so many levels. The Mariners are like a guy who got suckered into a timeshare presentation in Mexico, and spent $20,000 on a one week per year one-bedroom condo with $1000 per year in fees. Now the guy is trying to find someone in his office who will buy it from him for $10,000 - half price, he tells them - but the reality is that he's lucky if he can simply find someone who will take that albatross off his hands for nothing. He still thinks this is something valuable because, after all, he paid $20,000 for it, didn't he?

Jack Zduriencik continues to get high marks from me. He definitely seems to have a plan.
Quoted: The idea is that the team will receive video of their opponents and have workers in the new department break down each pitch from a statistical viewpoint. They can grade the break on curve balls, tendencies to throw certain pitches in certain situations, figure out what hitters like to swing at, that sort of thing.

Quoted: Why doesn't Barry Bonds have a job? Team officials cite several reasons, but they also believe we haven't seen the last of the home run king in uniform.

Many familiar memories here, I remember hearing "Junior's" first at bat on radio as well.
