NEW optical wireless notebook computer mouse YORK — Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva felt pointing stick notebook embarrassed after some of his recent outings.
But Silva also gateway e475m laptop notebook wonders whether some of his teammates share those self-deprecating sentiments. He

sees them smiling in the clubhouse firewire notebook adapter the next day, going about their business as if nothing much was different.
There's a fine line between putting past performance behind you and not caring enough to learn from it. And Silva, in his first season with the Mariners after several in Minnesota, is about done blues clues notebook with biting his tongue on the 64-bit notebook issue.
He feels somebody has to stand up and say something to certain players and adds that he's "very close" to being that guy.
"It's like when I pitched latitude atg notebook dell in Detroit and I had a bad game, I didn't even want to see my teammates' faces the next day," Silva said on Saturday, after giving up five earned runs over six innings of a mac notebook feist 12-6 loss to the New York Yankees. "Because I care so much about my team. But it's like, guys in here have a bad game, or whatever, it's great when you stay positive and have hp dv6599 notebook pc the same attitude, but, man, feel embarrassed, too.
"I feel notebook mit grafikchip - embarrassed, you know what I mean? If you don't feel embarrassed in this game, once in a while when you're struggling bad like this, it's like you don't care enough about this game."
Silva gave up four runs in the second inning on Saturday, but he battled to keep his team in a compac presario notebook repairs 5-4 game are all notebook optical universal until the sixth. That's when a two-out fielding error by Jose Lopez was followed by a two-run homer by Bobby Abreu and a pair of unearned runs.
Despite being upset at himself for not xplorer x5-4850 notebook "picking up" Lopez, Silva was otherwise pleased at how he fought back after the second inning and left everything he had on the field. He agrees with general manager Bill Bavasi that not enough players are being held accountable by ide notebook disk their own peers within the clubhouse.
"I don't want to point fingers at anybody," he said. "But if we go out there and play hard, no matter what, you're going walmart canada notebook computers to see a different game. No matter what. If you strike out, or you miss a play or whatever and you buying an ultra portable notebook put it behind you and play hard, you're going to see a different game."
Silva felt he pitched with that mind-set on Saturday. He wasn't hanging his head afterward, but he felt that some players needed a talking-to.
"To be honest, I wanted to do that today," Silva said. "But it's like, right now ... christian notebook covers you have to pick the right time to do that. Because we've been losing. I'm pretty sure that if I said something the cheapest notebook to somebody, they'd get very upset. So, that's why today, I didn't say anything. I preferred to leave it at that and keep pitching my game.
"But somebody needs to do that."
Silva's outing was the best turned in by the starting rotation all week. It still wasn't enough for the team to win, and he wasn't happy. But he also feels he did marilyn monroe collectibles notebook his best to put the second-inning four-spot behind him and that the additional runs he gave up weren't because he was frog notebook covers dwelling on past mistakes.
"I advertising notebook hope they have that in mind," he said of his teammates. "Play hard no matter what. If you have a bad at-bat, go out there and do your best in free linux firewall for notebook pc the field. Some guys do, but some guys don't."
Notes
• Mariners manager John McLaren, notebook inverter adapter given a vote of confidence by Bavasi earlier in the day, said after the game that his team does not have a vocal, Jay Buhner-type of clubhouse

leader. notebook power tip identification But McLaren also gateway notebook internal wifi antenna feels not every club has someone vocal and that others could step up and fill the void.
"It's a very difficult question," McLaren said. "I do think we have some leaders out there. It might not be notebook security somebody you think of as a leader, somebody who's vocal. I just don't know if we have that guy."
But McLaren also pointed out that Edgar Martinez, who

able to lead by example. The one trait a leader has to have, he said, is the numbers on the field to back it up.
McLaren said Willie Bloomquist has leadership qualities and helps guys out behind the scenes. But he's not an everyday player.
Mariners left fielder Raul Ibanez, one of the team's top hitters and oldest veterans, would seem to fit McLaren's description of deals on notebook computers the kind of leader the current team has. Ibanez feels ibm notebook computer there is leadership within the clubhouse, ring notebook though he agrees the performance has to improve.
"I see a team that's really struggling bad right now," he said. "And we could probably point at a thousand things that are going wrong."
As for throwing guys up against a clubhouse wall, commercial mac notebook audio or players being more forceful with each other: "I'll tell you firsthand that I know that there are guys who get pulled aside in here when guys see that it's necessary."
Ibanez added, "I do the things to prepare to be the best player that I can be. I offer advice to guys when I feel that it's necessary. The stuff that I do, I'm very aware that other guys are watching."
