Mariners

[sn-e3]

Would you mean people out there quit picking on the Seattle Mariners I hate to see Lew Pannalla cry . the mariners went from great to late in zero seconds flat. Now I'm talkin baseball here folks stupid moves like walking a batter to load the base's and then watching a grand salomie homerun to win the game, what sand lot did we pick this manager up at anyway? now i have to eat crow and tell andy I'm sorry about ragging on boston. But I will and I do expect tickets to the world series in boston I know you got the goods on everyone there and will call in some favors to get us tickets huh andy?

[Keith_Hixson]

I think the Mariners will get it turned around. I'd bet on Seattle over Boston. But they sure haven't been playing with any consistency. Time will tell ...... it's a long way to September.

...after johnson left the game for the D- backs, Shane Spencer tagged a grand slam to put it away the nioght before last...
...Lou hit the game winning hit in the 78 series, and that cemented him into the almighty greats of the baseball world...

SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN THE SUMMERS THROUGH...

2 - 0 in the what ?

[Drywall]

They almost came back. Man, the Braves have never been short on pitching.

[Keith_Hixson]

Pinero sure did a great job last nigh! He's going to be a great young pitcher and around for quite a few years. I believe through out baseball that pitching is much better than it was in the 50's - 80's. All these kids throw over 90 mph and some even in the high nineties. I'm amazed at how well the guys hit these powerful pitchers.

Go Mariners!!:D

[Drywall]

You hit on a hot stove league topic. Todays vs yesterdays pitchers. It's an endless debate when you consider that the oldtimers tried for complete games, the young guys go for "quality starts" whatever that is. Old guys didn't have set-up, long relief, short relief and closers to help get their wins. Wasn't Rollie Fingers just about the first pithing "specialist"? Can the young pitchers throw 90+mph for 250-350 innings a year for 10 - 20 years. I think they'll burn out. Same with the hitters. They are bigger and stronger but they don't last as long either. However, they can make a lifetime supply of money in one season now. So I guess they don't have to be durable.

TSK TSK...I`m surprised at you! A fair weather fan?!Having our team 15 games over 500 and in 1st place,with the 2nd best record in baseball is NO reason to jump ship! Trust me..I grew up a Red Sox fan...Hang in there,Buddy-every thing is fine and dandy.

[Timothy R. Kuhr]

SAVE YOUR PITY! WE DON'T EVER JUMP SHIP! But I think this thing might be aground.

S'all right! There is ALWAYS next year and we'll be here!

Drywall, ya gotta love it! They wanted to dump the Twins and they're kicking it big time! Go Twins, unless we meet you in interleague or at the World Series (Yeah, like that's gonna happen - I'm a Cubs fan but you gotta face reality!)

We have a tradition in New England. The farmers plant potatoes when the Bosox are in first place by two games. They harvest when the Sox are 5 games out of first, usually mid-Auguest.

By the way, I can get play off and Series tickets if the Sox are in it, and yes there's a little blackmail envolved but we are still talking Large dollars. The only way to get good seats to play off games and pay under $100 is if Uncle Ira left them to you in his Will.

As far as Seattle goes, we always move my father's Urn as far from the TV as possible when Boston plays those Left Coast people. Every time that Japanese fellow gets a hit you can hears his bones rattle. Did I mention Dad was in the Navy in the Phillippiens. He never cared for those "Devine Wind" boys.

Stay healthy,
Andy
