Series Thread- Seattle Mariners @ Oakland A's

[Element]

Yeah, great outing.

[riverdunesrat]

Yes, but he is more worried about the A's. I would be also, if i was a Angels fan.

No man, I'm a M's fan too, just don't follow real close. The M's got Bret Boone, Spiezio, and a couple other guys I don't recall right now from us down here. Plus I loved watching Bobby Madritsch. I was bummed he got injured. He was an exciting pitcher. I was looking forward to watching him when the M's played the Angels.

Also, I got a friend I met on the Pads MLB board who lives up there and is a M's fan. I also used to be a Seahawks fan back when I still followed football. I am all about baseball now.....You are right I am an Angels fan. But more than anything, I am a baseball fan. Give me a good match-up and I'm happy.

[Element]

Glad you were rooting for us!

[Porter]

Porter was MIA today so I'll do this.

Overview- We just came off a big series win against the Rangers, the A's just took 2 of 3 from the White Sox. We're tied for second in the West, two back of the Angels. We split our only two games that we have played this season. Boonie had a good series, we could use his bat this weekend.

Probable Starters
Aaron Sele (1-2, 5.56) vs. Danny Haren (1-2, 4.56)
Jamie Moyer (4-0, 2.53) vs. Joe Blanten (0-2, 1.75)
Joel Pineiro (2-1, 5.85) vs. Barry Zito (0-4, 6.60)

I'll post some more later.

Yeah my f***n Bro didnt want to get off the computer so i can make a series thread the way i wanted, thanks MF by the way. Blanton vs Moyer today should be a very good matchup today, it will certainly be better than Piniero vs Zito on Sunday

[MarinersFan87]

Moyer always pitches well against the A's, but I'm afraid that Blanton is due for a win eventually. Hopefully that won't come today and hopefully Beltre can get on a little roll here after 2 hits last night. And I know the average isn't pretty so people will start complaining, but Richie Sexson has a .365 OBP, including a .600 one over the past 7 days. And we are just one game back now of the Angels, it would nice to go into our series with them tied for first.

[Porter]

It would be a great deal if we can tie the Angels before the 3 game set. Hopefully Franklin can bounce back in that series. Blanton is due for a victory but he can do it some other time.

M's 3, A's 2

Oakland A's (11-12) vs Seattle Mariners (12-11)

[Porter]

- I. Suzuki lined out to left
- J. Reed grounded out to second

[Porter]

Beltre with a single.

[MarinersFan87]

Adrian Beltre has been frusturating at times so far this season. It is always a relief when he gets a hit.

[Porter]

1-2 to Sexson.

Its still early May basically, so im not too worried.

[Porter]

Sexson gets mowed down looking. Middle of the 1st.

[MarinersFan87]

Its still early May basically, so im not too worried.

Neither am I, but I like to see him getting a hit, it is about to time for that average to start climbing.

[Porter]

Kotsay with a leadoff single.
