Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

7/8: Open Game Thread

First Pitch: 7:05pm PDT

SEATTLE MARINERS            ANAHEIM ANGELS

                    

Ichiro RF                   Figgins 3B
Winn LF                     Erstad 1B
Ibanez DH                   Guerrero RF
Sexson 1B                   Anderson LF
Beltre 3B                   Molina C
Bloomquist CF               Rivera DH
Morse SS                    Izturis SS
Lopez 2B                    DaVanon CF
Borders C                   Kennedy 2B

----------                  ----------

Moyer (7-3, 4.58)           Washburn (5-3, 3.06)

Jamie Moyer goes for his 200th career win against Willie Ballgame's personal punching bag. Washburn's ERA is terrific, but his peripherals tell a different story - his walks are up and his strikeouts are down from last year, when his ERA was more than a run and a half higher. What he does do well is keep left-handed batters in check, but he can be exposed against righties, which should make things a little easier for Beltre/Sexson. As for Jamie, the key will be keeping the ball away from Vladimir Guerrero's wheelhouse, which is roughly the size of Delaware.

LET'S GO MARINERS!

What'd you expect?
Half-decent southpaw on the mound! Gotta protect the youngsters!

Tough to do
With 3 days fewer in the month for the ASG.  Unless, of course, you count the hits he'll get in the ASG...

I think
I need to stop reading Bill Simmons baseball columns. He said that Jeter deserves a spot on the All Star roster every year AND praised Peter Gammons in one column, sickening.

D-Rays are 27-60
Think they have a chance to lose 120?

I hope not . . .
I want to see Lou survive the season.

Beltre . . .
What is with his stutter step each time he takes a pitch?  Damn it looks goofy.

Winn
Thank you. I now can get into bed and cue up Six Feet Under.

jesus
I don't even recognize this team

by gumbostu on Jul 8, 2005 8:52 PM PDT reply actions  

i know
The look pretty good. It's too bad they dug themselves such a deep hole, if we were, say, 8 games out, these wins would have some nice implications.

by phil333 on Jul 8, 2005 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wait.
10 bucks says Randy Winn gets the next 10-game suspension.

Nice.

It's a good time to be a Mariners fan.

Damn
The Mariners owned tonight.  Too bad I only got to listen to the game on radio.  I hope they do this again tomorrow night.
