WRANGLED Rays @ Smoaking Mariners 6/2-6/5

[Tobywan]

Probables

Juego G VS King Felix
Sonny VS Vargas
Hellboy VS Fister
WD40 VS Bedard

Rays split the home stand 3-3. Head off for an 11 game 4 city road trip. The Mariners have won their last 5 series including the Rays division rival Yankees.

Big Game took the lost in last Sat. game against the Indians. He has a 2.15 ERA ranking him third in the AL. The King is 5-4 with a 3.19 ERA after throwing a career-high 128 pitches in 7 innings on Sat. against the Yanks.

Shields has a 9 game streak of at least 7 innings pitched the longest in the ML this season.

Theme for Seattle…grunge.

The M's pitching staff has been unreal the last month. But still the offense is Justin Smoak, Ichiro, Franklin G. That's it.

[Tobywan]

M's score 5 in the 2nd.........oy this is going to be a looooooooooooooong road trip.

[Tobywan]

Shields is just serving up batting practice, 8-0 in the 4th, call to the bull pen.

[Porter]

I have no explanation of who hijacked the M's offense and inserted these nine guys.

[Tobywan]

Check


and mate.


We got Kinged, Pegueroed and Smoaked, it was a disCusting loss all the way around.

I think the only thing hijacked was Shields' fastball, it was no where to be seen.


Love to party with these people, they look like fun.

[Pronk]

The King was surely ringing up the batters last night.

[Tobywan]

So, last week we get wrangled and then smoaked on the weekend!!

One win, one lousy win....good old "Satan". How crazy it is though that they play better with Kotchman? If the M's go back to 2-1 and 1-0 games I will be pissed.

Longo tweaked his side again but it doesn't seem to be serious, he pinch hit last night and tied the game, only for Howell & Peralta to screw it up.
