You ever get the feeling that this will be a HIGH Scoring Affair.

[Providence A's]

no because Zito had one bad game against Tampa where they scored 8 earned runs of him...Baltimore he only gave up 4 and I don't think they were all earned and last time out he gave up 2 runs, so he could do ok...just have to wait and see

[MarinersFan87]

Zito has NO control right now. 19 pitches, 5 have gone for strikes.

[MarinersFan87]

Grand slam for Brett Boone.

4-0 M's in the 1st.

[A'sDiehard]

Welp, that's ballgame. Nice work Zito.

[MarinersFan87]

Don't give up that easy, Pineiro can give up runs in a hurry too.

Dude, it's batting practice for the Mariners tonight.

[A'sDiehard]

I knew I should have picked Kotsay in my fantasy draft. Welp, looks like we're in for a marathon folks.

[MarinersFan87]

Cool, Joel and Zito have both officially fallen off the edge of the earth. Two years ago everyone was in love with these two guys.

Ain't that the truth. Zito is DONE; we traded the wrong pitcher.

[MarinersFan87]

Grrrr, I feel the same way, I wish Joel was in Chicago and we still had Garcia, but no way we get the same deal for Joel that we did for Freddy. Oh well. Hurry up Felix.
