Hey, would you guys try opening the Seattle Times forums page on your browsers. I'm wondering if there is some issue with the site. When I try to open any page from the forum it just continuously refreshes in an endless loop so that nothing will load. Really bizarre.

Here, I'll save you the trouble of looking up the link: http://forums.seattletimes.com/forums
Working fine for me, if you get back on why don't you pm those two about here?
I was going to, but it appears they have IP banned me or something, just for posting a link to this site.
Actually, try logging in. After I cleared my cache (including active logins) I was able to open the index page. But when I tried to log in again, it did the same thing of continuously refreshing.

Did Joan ever respond to your questions about why the threads were removed?
Yes. Promotion of competing sites.
Wow. She's nuts. She doesn't even work for the Times, does she?
Retired but still clearly very loyal.

Crap, what is that 3 of the last four losses by 1 run. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Why the hell is ALtavilla not on the mlb club.
Have you seen his AAA numbers this year?

Good grief, this team just does whatever it takes to lose. Meanwhile, the Yankees go out and find ways to win with a makeshift lineup.

@Julio

Sure... bunt with Haniger. Why not? In a late inning situation you NEED to add runs. We probably win the ballgame if it's 5-2... instead we strand the runners cause Haniger didn't do his job. I can imagine 20+ wins last year we would have had if players had just participated in situational hitting.

What would you rather have? A win... or Haniger occasionally padding his stats? If it's the 8th inning, I'm doing EVERYTHING possible just to increase that lead with runners on 2nd and 3rd w/ 1 out. If there's 2 outs... hit away. 1 out? ANYTHING to get that run home.

This team has gotten away from doing what it was doing right on offense in the early part of the season. We were stealing bags at a non-mariner pace... we were sacrificing... and we were scoring runners from 3rd w/ less than 2 outs every at bat. In the last 5 or 6 games Beckham has led off an inning at least 4 times with a double and didn't even make to 3rd base.

And Altavila has been tearing up his AA stint. 1 hit over 6 innings w/ 9 K's, 2 BB's.
