Is this a serious f*cking question? Bret Boone angers me. And Jose Lopez is the man. What's the next poll going to be like? Who should start at short? Morse or Bloomie? I'm just joking around with you Porter, but this one was too easy.

[Porter]

Well Hargrove in the Tacoma News Tribune said that Boone is a near hall of fame player and the job is his.

[MarinersFan87]

I know. Coach speak. Until he can find a way to ditch Boone. Lopez needs his AB's, if he isn't going to be starting here then might as well send him back to AAA.
