Tigers at Mariners Thread 4-17-10

[JosephC]

Ryan Rowland Smith and Justin Verlander are both trying to get their 1st win of the season. Neither have been all that great, but Verlander has posted a 9 ERA after his last start. The Tigers are looking for a road win.

The odds have both teams neck and neck.

And the starting lineup tonight...
RF Ichiro
2B Chone Figgins
CF Franklin Gutierrez
3B Jose Lopez
DH Ken Griffey Jr.
LF Milton Bradley
1B Casey Kotchman
C Adam Moore
SS Jack Wilson
LHP Ryan Rowland-Smith

I've got both Verlander and Ryan Rowland Smith on my fantasy teams so I'm hoping for a 0-0 tie heading to the bottom of the ninth then the Mariners win it...:D

Although I wouldn't be that angry to see Verlander rocked either.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Ichiro doubles, then steals third. Nice start.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Good job Guti! He is on fire! 1-0 M's.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Congrats to Ubaldo Jimenez who throws a no hitter against the Braves in Atlanta.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Figgins knocks in Ichiro with a sac fly 2-0.

[JosephC]

Huge Knock for Ordonez. 2-1 Mariners.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Felipe Lopez on the mound for the Cardinals in the 18th inning haha.

[Igoe4Mariners]

The Tigers tie it at 2-2 in the top of the 7th. Lets take the lead right back here.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Kotchman doubles and gives the M's the lead. 3-2. Woohoo!

[JosephC]

Lowe so far so good! Nice breaking ball.

[Igoe4Mariners]

That was a strike! WTF ump.

[Igoe4Mariners]

MVP = Kotchman, What a scoop on the DP!

[Igoe4Mariners]

The DA gets it done. A huge win to go ahead and take the series, lets sweep 'em tomorrow!

[JosephC]

Great game! Let's take the sweep. Gonna be hard with Snell being emotional right now though.
