A good start time for those of you working 9-5 jobs, as you should be home in time to catch most of the Mariners game on TV as they take on a competent Major League Baseball team for the first time since Sunday.

He'll be facing a lineup that ranks last in the Majors in both OBP and walks, a lineup that could be without Scott Podsednik and Carl Everett for the whole weekend. Six strong innings shouldn't be too much to ask. Hopefully he'll get a little breathing room, as the lineup should be able to score a handful of runs off Jon Garland. Ozzie Guillen may not realize it, but Comiskey's a home run ballpark, and that works more in our favor than it does theirs.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
