Some select gametime quotes from some Mariner blogs by Mariner fans... "Joba against the Mariners It’s like the honor student picking on the retarded kid in the classroom." "June 6th, 2009: With the first choice in the 2009 draft, the Mariners take Nobody McFucknut LHP from Pepperdine." "Great news everyone! With that ground-rule double, the Mariners have now tied the Cardinals for most doubles given up, with 120! I knew they could do it!" "Does losing by only 8 runs count as a good performance? I’m not sure any more" On Jeremy Reed's ab v. Farnsworth... "Reed isn't a true Mariner True Mariners give up." "how bout a nice cup of stranded baserunners?" "Silva trying to come inside, and that's hit off the end of the bat. Definition of: how you know you failed." Mound Visit Mel: You okay? Silva: Yeaman. Mel: Think you can give up some more runs. Silva: Yea, just have’em hit it to LF. Mel: Good man. "Last time Silva pitched in New York, he allowed eight runs and 11 hits in three innings. Fortunately the only thing the Yankees have done between now and then is swap out Morgan Ensberg for Alex Rodriguez."

The few times you've seen him throw it on TV? Scouts rated it a 70 on the 20-80 scale, at least during last season and when he was being scouted for the draft. Based on what?

His fastball and slider are good enough for him to get through a game with in my opinion. Who gives a shit if he ever throws a changeup or curveball?

Cano we're used to seeing this from, but Giambi hitting away from the shift can up his batting average. It’s good to see guys like Giambi and Cano hitting the ball the other way.
