So work has gotten a little more frustrating. They've hooked all the staff up to the internet now too. So we have over 20 people on one 128mb connection. You probably have 15 times that speed or more in your house divided not at all. It is so slow that it is locked down once everyone rolls into work by 10 or so. So I have a trial next week and I'd like to do some research preparing for it, but I can't. Just super.
I'm about the most optimistic Seattle sports fan except for maybe KC, but this Ms season is over. Their only chance after this miserable start was to sweep the Angels. Instead they got swept. 15.5 out of first. The Ms have about the same chance of catching the Angels now as Joe Biden has of catching Obama. Why is Jose Vidro, Miguel Cairo, and Richie Sexson still on the roster. Let Jeff Clement play every day. Even if he sucks, we'll at least have an idea that he does. Get rid of Washburn too. Someone might even give us something. Let Morrow start now.
I'm not saying we should cut Batista, but if someone will trade for his salary my asking price would be a bottle of Vailima...same for Silva.
This season is the worst since 2004. The Ms sucked that year and it was unexpected. They won over 90 games in 03 and then collapsed to 99 losses in 04. This only isn't as bad because the situation doesn't look permanent. They have 2 really good starters now and should have 2 more coming (Aumont and Morrow) soon. Balentien and Clement still should be good. Ibanez has a few years left (maybe as DH soon though), Betancourt and Lopez are solid and Beltre has one more year before they decide to keep him or not. Plus Ichiro. The Ms should spend whatever it takes to get the pitcher from Japan that plays for Bobby Valentines team and get Valentine too. That'd be potentially 5 really good starting pitchers. The Ms have a good bullpen. Even a crap hitting team (like the Ms) can win with great pitching.
I have no confidence in this season though...and the same for being able to, you know, do my job when it comes to legal research at work anytime soon.

It's even worse than just being 15.5 game out of first. We're the worst team in all of baseball!
Bavasi has got to go! We should follow that move up w/ Suxsen, Cairo and Washburn in that order.
You can just email me what you were going to research and I'll do it for you. I've got spare time.
We believe Mariners, we believe. . .
Playoffs? Playoffs?
Research is over rated anyway. Don't you ever watch Boston Legal? Do you ever see Alan doing any research? Why don't you assign it to one of your para's or better yet call the internet company and see if they can upgrade your . . . hahahahah lol lol lol.
