Seattle Mariners Game 58: Angels 4 Mariners 2

Blah blah blah. Another day, another loss.

Lopez did hit a HR so good for him.

Seattle Mariners Game 57: Tigers 7 Mariners 5

What is there to say? Tie game going into the 9th inning. Mariners bring in Mr "I use to be reliable" JJ Putz and what does he do? He goes ahead and gives up 4 hits and 4 earned runs to give the Tigers a 7-3 lead. How fitting really for a season that has long been in the crapper. The one guy we could always rely on has turned into one of our biggest weaknesses and it sucks.

Beltre had his 13th HR of the season in this one and Ibanez had his 8th HR of the season in the bottom of the 9th to make it a 7-5 game. That of course was the final score. If only JJ didn't suck so bad in this one.

ARGH!!

Seattle Mariners Game 56: Mariners 5 Tigers 0

The Mariners pitchers sure like to go with an all or nothing attitude don't they? Either they give up a crap load or they give up nothing. Felix through 7 innings of 2 hit ball tonight. Morrow and Putz took care of the rest.

Nice to see Jeremy Reed get his first HR of the season. Kenji Johjima had himself a good game going 2-4 with 2 RBI and a run scored. He also stole home plate. Good times.

Seattle Mariners Game 55: Tigers 7 Mariners 4

Silva blew any chance the Mariners in this one long before our offense even picked up a bat. Silva left this one in the first inning with only 2 outs after giving up 7 hits and 7 earned runs. Dickey came in and did a good job keeping the score at 7 the rest of the way, but the damage was already done. We never had a chance.Beltre had himself a good day though as he had 2 solo HR's. Might as well celebrate the individual milestones on this team because we sure aren't celebrating wins this year.

Seattle Mariners Game 54: Mariners 1 Red Sox 0

Yes you read that right. The Mariners won a series and against the Boston Red Sox no less.

Bedard was untouchable tonight. 7 innings, 2 hits. Morrow and Putz took care of the rest. The Mariners lone run tonight was on a solo shot by Yuniesky Betancourt.
There have not been a lot of bright spots in this season for the Mariners or their fans. But for me beating the Red Sox is always something to brag about.

Seattle Mariners Game 53: Mariners 4 Red Sox 3

Weird things happened in this one. Batista of all people shut the Red Sox down for 5 innings before giving up 3 runs in the 6th inning. His final line on the night was 7 innings, 5 hits, 2 earned runs, 3 walks and 2 k's. Not a bad night from your number 5 starter against a line up like the Red Sox.

What made this game even weirder was that going into the bottom of the 9th it was tied 3-3. Jose Lopez has a clutch 2 out single and brought home the winning run. First time all year the M's have had a walk off win. Might as well enjoy it, it could be the only one we see all year.

Seattle Mariners Game 52: Boston 5 Mariners 3

For 7 innings Felix was unhittable. They left him in just 1 inning too long. He gave up 4 earned runs in the the 8th inning to give the Red Sox a 5-1 lead. The M's got 2 back in the 9th inning but as usual it was too little too late.
