28-41 Seattle Mariners

Well, I am back :) and this time for good.

The Mariners are 13 games under .500. Ichiro is having one of his typical top 5 career seasons. Cliff Lee and Felix have proved to be a 1-2 punch. Bradley had a meltdown... Griffey retired.. Snell was demoted to AAA after clearing waivers.

Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, the Mariners still can't score runs. They are now 28 out of 30 teams in Runs Scored. For Runs Scored against they are 13 best in the Majors ( roughly Average). The Mariners have no farm, they have no future.... I ask again, did we miss anything while I was gone... ????

Doug Fister, I just became a fan :)

I had a long car ride home from the Puyallup area and I had enough time to listen to 950 KJR. I was listening to Ian Furness's show (the 1-3pm) show and he had several Mariners on. Right before I was getting home he had Doug Fister on. Fister talked a lot about how he is learning and how positive this ball club is. He also talked very highly of Cliff Lee and Ken Griffey. I am not sure if this kid is a politician or not but he seems like a right fit (personality wise) for this Club :)

Cliff Lee

Did you guys see how amazing the guy is? He has such an ability to control his pitch count. Through 4 2/3 innings he was at 45 pitches. He had thrown 7 balls during this frame. This is a type of pitcher the Mariners need. You need pitchers who can throw strikes. It makes no sense to waste a pitch on a ball and show your whole arsenal.
