Pineiro (2-4, 5.79)         Colon (11-4, 3.06)

According to VORP, Bartolo Colon has been the 13th-best pitcher in baseball this year, a certifiable ace who seems to have rebounded quite nicely from a rough 2004 campaign. As a guy who throws strikes and gets deep into games, Colon is precisely the type of pitcher who gives the Mariners a lot of problems, but not all hope is lost - he's had his trouble with Ibanez, Ichiro, and Beltre in the past. It won't mean anything if Joel gets bombed early, though, so the first few innings will be critical.

Oh, and I hate the Angels.

LET'S GO MARINERS!
