Lets hope they can pull it off. Rangers already beating the Indians 2-0 in the 2nd inning. And the Angels already crushed the Yankees (yikes!!)

[worldwideed]

Lets start with series win and build on that.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Not a good start. 2-0 A's on a homer by Jake Fox in the second.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Two baserunning errors by Lopez and Bradley cost the M's runs in the second.

[Igoe4Mariners]

So many stranded runners by the M's.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Woohoo Milton!

[Igoe4Mariners]

M's lead 4-2 going to the top of the ninth. Aardsma in to close it out.

[Igoe4Mariners]

The DA gets 'em 1-2-3. The Mariners take the series!

Nice game, sorry I could not make this thread. Homework up the wall today.
Thanks a bunch for keeping up with the thread dude.
This was an amazing win. We are right back in the fighting now.

[Igoe4Mariners]

No problem. I'm ready for Felix day on Friday against the Tigers!

[worldwideed]

DA has been really impressive thus far.
See you on Friday for Felix day.

[JosephC]

Indeed, let's hope Felix is on and makes this 5-6! Not bad without Lee and Bedard actually.
