Hmmm. I doubt Hall ever regains his 30 HR days.

[PNovak]

Hall has been playing well the last few games.

[PNovak]

Well, it seems like the season is pretty much over for the M's. It was a pretty good year though. Not many people expected them to make it to .500. Griffey was fun to watch even though his batting avg was pretty poor. Branyan was a pleasant surprise and I think we found a few good young pitchers for the future.

What do you guys think of the season?

[jaggles82]

i thought it went pretty well, as well. Hopefully we can get another big bat in the offseason

[PNovak]

Yeah, we need someone that can hit .300 with 40 Hr's, at Safeco. I always thought Beltre would step his power up to around 35, never happened.

[jaggles82]

ya, I like to think we might have had a chance in the wildcard if he would have stayed healthy along with bedard

[PNovak]

Yeah, maybe. Josh Wilson is also playing pretty well.

[PNovak]

Welcome, does anyone know who the key free agents this season are going to be?

[Golden Taters]

I didnt know there was a mariners thread :o

[jaggles82]

there is and I would like us to pursue jason bay

[PNovak]

To compete with the Angels we are going to have to sign TWO decent bats this year. Last game is a perfect example of why we are not ready to win the division. 4 HR's and every one of them is a solo shot. We need guys that can draw some damn walks. Griffey seems to be the only one that can get them but he is hitting under 220.

Who else is a FA this off season besides Bay?

Take your pick, a lot of those guys will be resigned though

[Golden Taters]

Hes baaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

[jaggles82]

I was hoping he would retire but I do not know who else would dh. Johjima is gone so maybe adam moore can have a good spring and step up

[Golden Taters]

Fuck you bitch why the hell would anyone want Griffey to retire?
