Series Thread- Seattle Mariners @ Texas Rangers

[Porter99]

Franklin- 1 Hit since the 1st. hes settled down. bad news is the Mariners only have 1 hit as a TEAM.

[Porter99]

Seattle needs to have more consistency in its offense. It seems likes the SPs are pressing cause the runs have been scarce at times.

This is a big game tonight for the Mariners. They need to win this series and get something going in the division.

[Porter99]

The whole AL West needs to get something going. its a bunch of .500 teams beating each others brains in.

Remember how great Gil was at the beginning of the season two years ago? Yea, I don't either anymore.

[MarinersFan87]

I Suzuki grounded out to second.
J Reed grounded out to third.
A Beltre singled to center.
R Sexson grounded out to shortstop.

[MarinersFan87]

Would it be that much to ask for an offensive explosion tonight? We're at the freaking launching pad against Chris Young. We need to get the lead to our pleasantly suprising pen.

[MarinersFan87]

A Soriano grounded out to shortstop.
H Blalock struck out swinging.
M Young grounded out to shortstop.

Gil flies through the first inning on just 7 pitches.

[MarinersFan87]

B Boone flied out to right.
R Ibanez flied out to center.
R Winn grounded out to shortstop.

Quick game so far. Probably won't be a ton of hits, but most will be HR's.

[MarinersFan87]

Ichiro doubles in the 3rd, but is stranded on 2nd by Reed. Just two hits through three innings.

[MarinersFan87]

Blalock homers in the 4th to break a 0-0 tie. Blalock pretty much owns Meche. Despite the HR, Meche hasn't pitched bad. Yet. We need some offense.

1-0 Rangers

NICE Sig, MF87!!! I love the bg effect.

[MarinersFan87]

Thanks, I'm using it to signify that Safeco Field will probably freeze over before the middle of the lineup starts to produce.

[MarinersFan87]

Great, Nix up to bad against Meche after Hildalgo gets on thanks to an error by Boone. Nix owns Meche.
