The Mariners are going to want to direct all outfield balls in play to right. Jason Vargas is going to want to keep the Angels from directing all their outfield balls in play to left. There are some very good defensive outfielders in this game, and some very bad ones.

For every pitch that Hector Noesi puts in the strike zone against Josh Hamilton, I'm going to make a mark on a piece of paper. What happens when I've made too many marks? You'll see, that's what happens. Don't try me, Hector. You genuinely don't know what I'm capable of.

This is it. The baseball game that should be exciting and that may or may not in reality be exciting. Prepare to be excited, totally or partially or not at all.

Thanks to Alex White, I learned that "extreme DUI" is a thing. It's a thing that's incredibly funny and incredibly not funny, like Matt Garza's yips. Did you know about Matt Garza's yips? Did you know about Alex White's extreme DUI? Man, you guys, there's a whole other league out there. The game's worse, but the game's familiar. Get learning.

They should specifically target commercials during games like these to the unemployed, the lonely, and/or the severely ill. Instead I'm just going to hear another 25 times about how we're all in some way connected to the same bank. NOBODY'S FAVORITE BASEBALL TEAM IS THE SPOKANE INDIANS
