Lookout Landing Looking for Help to Upload Photos

Hey Guys,

Sorry in advance for this novice question. How do you upload personal photos onto this site? As you know, it asks for a URL, but as far as I know I do not have a URL link to the photos.

I was recently at the Mariners vs. Diamondbacks game in Tucson, where Cliff Lee was thrown out. I would like to share some of those pictures from the game.

Thank you for your time,

Bryce

Lookout Landing would this trade be less severe if...

we coughed up the money, yet short term deal for andruw jones. signed silva, to a high pay short deal as well.

traded sexson to rangers, instead of broussard,

and we somehow able to trade (without selling the farm) to get back r. soriano?

just a thought about some what if's. feel free to blast it.

Lookout Landing Bedard for ... Reply by a Camden Chat Man

" Jones and Morrow are two very exciting players, but Butler and Sherrill, if I'm looking at the right (George) Sherrill, are both lefty relievers.

 For Tejada the Os received three pitchers, an outfielder likely to be flipped, and a third baseman.  Why would they need more arms?  The Os system is flooded with fantastic to reasonable arms, why do they need more?  Even on the major league roster there are enough relievers.  There need to be more position prospects.

 I don't see a deal like this going through without some substitutions.  Jones and Morrow, heck yeah.  Throw in Wladimir Balentien and Carlos Triunfel or Michael Saunders and that sounds like a good deal.  But an outfielder and three relievers is not a good return for a pitcher of Bedard's caliber."

I don't know about you, but I don't like that idea at all. I realize pitching wins ball games, but gutting your farm system doesn't breed consistent winning, Look at the Indians and Brewers. They committed to their young guys and their franchises look to be in pretty good shape,

AND, one pitcher, as good as he may be, won't be the answer to the M's questions. Last time i checked there were 9 players and one fat DH trying to win ball games. The Yanks have tried the one great player thing with A-Rod, and what do ya know? They haven't won, cuz the supporting cast sucked when it became crunch time.

Lookout Landing Uhh...Why was Felix around to start the 8th?

Can anyone explain to me why Felix was left in the game for so long?

I wasn't able to catch the game, only updates. Felix gave up 4runs through 6innings. Then he goes out for another inning. At first I questioned it, but all went well. However, I believe sending out for the 8th innings was retartded.

You take a pitcher that has been roughed up a bit on the day, thrown a boat load of pitches, facing a good lineup, and you throw him out there while it's still a 4-2 game. 7inn 4runs looks a whole lot better than 7+ 6runs. At that point in the game, the angels have gotten used to what he's throwing, and a different angle from the pen could have kept the deficit manageable.

What do you think?

Lookout Landing Vidro Rival!? hmmm....sounds like a fluke

Just saw this over on espn's website. what a major revival Vidro has been...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2992825

I believe he just might be the fattest DH, to have as little power from that position. Granted he is hitting rather well lately, albeit singles, but shouldn't we already be getting that production from our current second baseman? Maybe Mr. Jones would get more playing time if that was the case...

Here's to loving and hating the Mariners!
