So it was an off day...

Wow, what an off day can do for you. Great weather in the Seattle area, with 80 degree tomorrow before game time. Thou the game will be in Toronto. The Mariners are going against another team that has underachieved. Toronto who earlier this year fired Manager John Gibbons has their former World Champion Manager back at the helm. Cito Gaston who is infamous for never using a bench or knowing how to use one is back . He quit before the end of the 97' season. Many Blue Jay fans are sooo happy that Cito is back, but if I were a true Blue Jay fan. My first question would be, where were you when times were rough?

Match up coming up starting Friday for the Mariners vs the Blue Jays will be Miguel "Can't throw a strike even if the strike zone is as big as Eric Bedards a$$" Batista with his 4-11 record and a 6.89 ERA. Are the Mariners trying to lose, Everybody knows that the MLB draft is a crap shoot seriously!

Starting for the Blue Jays on Friday left hander John Parrish with his 1-0 record and 4.50 era. Word on the street is that if Parrish doesn't do good, the Jays will be shopping Parrish or demoting him to the bullpen.

Some good news coming out of Mariner camp is that Jose Lopez is currently riding a 11 game hitting streak! Whats even better is that it is Lopez 3rd streak of 7 or more games this season. Holy COW!

Up on Saturday it will be Veteran Carlos Silva and his monster contract vs Jesse Litsch ((8-7 with a 4.46 ERA.)
