Safeco Field @ 1:05 PM PDT
TV: Fox Sports Northwest

Rich Harden vs. Joel Pineiro

Forget winning, can they score at all today?

[Providence A's]

I think they'll scratch a run or two across, but I think the A's will still win behind Harden.

[Element]

Horrible past two games....

[Porter]

I didnt think id make it to this game. But ill have time today.

[Porter]

They retired Dan Wilson's number today. This is very deserved for him. Great thing they did for him. I think today Harden will get the win.

A's 4, M's 1

WP- Harden
LP- Pineiro

HR: Johima, Bradley

[Element]

Yep, this is the beginning of the end. It will all fall apart with this series.

[DirtyKash]

WOW!! Guys like Dan Wilson get their numbers retired now?

[Porter]

I dont think it will be that bad. They should have a boost with Dan Wilson's Number being retired and all.

[Porter]

WOW!! Guys like Dan Wilson get their numbers retired now?

DK- Dan Wilson is beloved in Seattle and hes probably the best Catcher in Mariners history. Its kinda like Jay Buhner in a way, not talent wise, but what he meant to seattle.

[DirtyKash]

Yea, that's not saying much, but we'll let you guys have your little celebration if it excites you. Sad that the bar has been lowered this much. When's Sasaki getting his number retired?

[Porter]

Seattle handles that differently for only i think 5 people have their number retired.

Wilson, Griffey, Buhner, Edgar, Davis

[DirtyKash]

I guess Moyer's next then? Whenever that's going to be.

[Porter]

1-2-3 inning

[DirtyKash]

And you're wrong, Porter. From the game preview:

Wilson was honored before Saturday's game for his 14 years with the club.

[Porter]

1 away.
