Orioles at Mariners Game Thread 4-21-10

[Igoe4Mariners]

Happy Felix day to all who attend this forum, as the Mariners try to go for the sweep of the Orioles tonight.

Tonight's pitching matchup is, of course, King Felix (1-0, 3.10) and for the O's, Kevin Millwood (0-2, 2.89)

Of course, we will get a solid start from Felix for sure, but it will be up to the M's offense to score on a tough, veteran pitcher in Millwood.

Can the M's get their first sweep of the year?

I'm going to say Yes... I think we can take a sweep this time as we are playing THE worst team in MLB right now. That, and Felix is one of the BEST pitchers.

Losing 1-0 in the third thus far.

[JosephC]

I should mention that is an unearned run for Felix.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Better batting approach in the third, just lacked the big hit.

[JosephC]

Figgins error. Lets see if he can get rid of that with a double play.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Boston beats Texas in the 12th inning.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Another chance here. Can Rob come through?

[Igoe4Mariners]

Man Tui looked out to me, but I'll take it. 1-1.
