Good-bye Polar Bear.
We don't really have that much pitching depth. We don't really have that much pitching depth. FOR GOD SAKE, VERUCA, DON'T GO FAKE TRADING JONATHAN SANCHEZ. We don't really have that much pitching depth

I like Tyler Walker more now that he’s not on the Giants.

Some of the comments in response to Schulman’s blog entry bring the LOLZ.

Hank is trying to beat back the pitchfork crazies

At first I thought you were kidding about the pitchfork crazies. Then I read some of the comments. WOW!!! Those guys won’t be happy until TW is dead, and even that might not satiate their need for his blood!

Oh...is that now?
The future is FUN!
The future is FAIR!
You may already have WON!
You may already BE THERE!
Who has the fun?
Is it always the man with the gun?

Can Josh From Hollywood add witty captions if the mood strikes?
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Wait...not captions--quote balloons!

What are the Mariners thinking?
Are they trying to cramp their payroll? Do you know how much shipping costs for something that large?

If he is only used
Against righties in high leverage situations, he will be great.

'Nah
With the majority of ML batters being right handed, and Tyler’s extreme Platoon split – he could be a very effective reliever.
he just has to be used properly. Using him against lefties in high leverage situations is a guaranteed disaster.

The following line made me laugh
from the Chronicle article:
" Tyler Walker and the Mariners agreed to a $750,000, one-year contract Tuesday, giving the team a potential replacement for former closer J.J. Putz"
I live up here in Seattle and watched some dominant outings by JJ. Tyler Walker is no J.J. Putz.
Still, I’ll never forget the time Walker struck out the side when he came in with bases loaded and no outs. Plus I just found out that he and I went to the same high school, so I’ll root for him at Safeco.

Good Giant
Best of luck Tyler. I’ll always admire your hard-earned comeback. When things didn’t go well, it never appeared to be for lack of effort.
