Apparently, you can learn to hit shutdown closers by watching Miguel Cairo pop out early in the count. Good thing Riggelman knows this and maximized Wladimir Balentien's learning experience in September in this lost season.

One night in my bedroom while nursing an ache I heard a loud rattle that shook me awake I saw that the walls were beginning to quake And it looked like the window was going to break Then whispered a shadow resembling a snake "Miguel Cairo is going to play." I sat and I wondered "is this just a dream?" To encounter a ghost seems a little extreme I wished that I didn't care so for a team For whom constant...

This afternoon I faced a quandary. To write or not to write? The Mariners had won, yes, but in a game between two of the worst teams in baseball, there can be no winners, and what's more is that Felix hadn't even pitched all that well and the biggest contribution was made by Miguel Cairo. Is there truly anything for anyone to gain by reading about what took place? After careful deliberation, I decided...

Last night Miguel Cairo , hitting .225/.298/.284, started at Designated Hitter for the Seattle Mariners. When the obit is drafted for the hapless 2008 Mariners, their disregard for the defensive spectrum, for the opportunity to gain offensive punch from the 1st Base and Designated Hitter positions, should be pointed to as the primary cause of death. Maybe this is too harsh in that Richie Sexson's...

The rest of this Mariners season should be considered as something akin to extended spring training. It should be all about next year. Not about finding more at-bats for veterans Jose Vidro, Miguel Cairo and Kenji Johjima.

I am shocked, just shocked, that a line-up that had Willie Bloomquist’s .632 OPS hitting second, Jose Vidro’s .578 OPS hitting fourth, and Miguel Cairo’s .568 OPS hitting 9th could only manage two hits against Justin Duchscherer. I mean, really, who could see a team that starts three of the worst hitters alive struggling [...]
