The Orioles and Bergesen have struggled mightily this year while the M's have gotten on a little roll the last two series. Doug Fister pitched 8 shutout innings against the A's the last time out and will try to get the M's the win again tonight in Seattle.

Adam Jones in leadoff for the O's eh?
I like our lineup. The best you can have from the M's in my opinion (maybe Sweeney instead of Griffey).

[Igoe4Mariners]

Yeah, i agree we should start giving Sweeney consistent AB's like we do with Griffey, and see if he can produce at the DH spot.

lets go mariners... clap clap..... lets go mariners.... clap clap.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Fister doesn't appear as sharp as he was last time out.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Fister is back to pounding the zone like he knows how to. 3 shutout innings so far, now if the offense can wake the heck up.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Griffey with a 2 RBI single...4-0 Mariners and still batting!

[Igoe4Mariners]

Stupid decision to send Griffey...but Casey follows with a 2 run bomb! 7-0 Mariners!

[bobthebuilder]

who decides to send griffey... is it the third base coach? i agree, hes way to slow to make that play.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was the third base coach.

[Igoe4Mariners]

6 no-hit innings for Fister...impressive.

[JosephC]

Great game tonight for the M's! Fister is looking pretty darn good this year so far. Vargas doesnt look that bad either. For that matter, starting pitching besides Snell has looked really good so far.
