[JosephC]

We need a win here and I think that is an understatement.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Felix is struggling early.

[JosephC]

So is the offense. Although that is a given unless I get excited.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Sometimes I hate being a Mariners fan...

[JosephC]

It is one of the toughest teams to be a fan of... besides the Cubs, Rangers and Pirates.

[Igoe4Mariners]

True I just want to make it to the playoffs. IDC if we get swept, i just want to return to the postseason!

[JosephC]

Felix looks bad tonight... bad.
And tomorrow is a loss as we play Grinkie.

[JosephC]

Already at 44 pitches and not out of the inning.

[Igoe4Mariners]

I can't believe we are getting dominated by Kyle F'N Davies.

[JosephC]

We still need that bat. Actually 3 or 4. What the hell is Figgins doing up there?

[Igoe4Mariners]

IDK Figgins has been a huge disappointment so far. Maybe he is doing this on purpose while secretly under contract with the Angels?

[JosephC]

Rob Johnson, Chone Figgins, Ken Griffey Jr, Milton Bradley all hitting below the Mendoza line. How many hitting below the mendoza line for Kansas City? 1 player.

It sucks. I guess it can't get any worse? Right?

[JosephC]

No it cant hitting wise. We have a dominate pitching staff though.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Yeah, its too bad they have virtually no wins to show for it.

[JosephC]

Jr. needs to go. He can't hit anything anymore. Time for the true fans to shut up and stop cheering him on like he's playing in 1989.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Yeah, it's starting to get old...

[JosephC]

Felix looks tired or disappointed, I can't tell which.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Most likely both. This team just stinks on the road.

[JosephC]

Well we are playing our 8th potential Cy Young award winning pitcher on the road thus far.

Oh my bad, it's just our team makes them LOOK like Cy Young award winning pitchers.

[Igoe4Mariners]

At least we broke up the no-no.

[JosephC]

With a blooper, whatever does it! Just so Figgins doesnt ground into a DP.

[JosephC]

I dont know how I can be excited with this team.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Crappppppppp

[JosephC]

Rob Johnson error where the throw to first was way wide.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Damn it Rob Johnson.

[JosephC]

And now a base hit. Yuni-Bomber looks happy in KC.

[JosephC]

See, all I gotta do is bad talk them and they'll hit. Griffey a single.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Wow a Junior hit. C'mon milton

[Igoe4Mariners]

good hit, just right to him. C'mon Kotchman!

[JosephC]

Yep, cant blame Milton for that one.

[JosephC]

Dont look now but Rangers have bases loaded with Vlad up.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Wow Griffey and Rob with a hit in the same inning? But can we score them?

[Igoe4Mariners]

Of course not.

[JosephC]

We are getting shut out by Kansas City. I'm depressed. This is Kansas City... where the poor players go.

[Igoe4Mariners]

The sad thing is their lineup is twice as good as ours...

[Igoe4Mariners]

Wow Ichiro trying all he can to score a run and we just refuse to drive him in. Pathetic!

[JosephC]

I turned it off. I'm done for the night, this team just sucks too much to waste time.

[Igoe4Mariners]

I agree. No more gamethreads until they start acting like they actually want to play.

[JosephC]

I completely agree.
