Welcome to Dan Wilson Night. Ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 5:15, which leads one to wonder just how they could possibly fill a 50-minute block of time with highlights from Wilson's baseball career. Expect a 37-minute speech from his wife talking about how great Dan is at home and with the kids, a six-minute speech from Dan himself thanking everyone ("especially the city of Seattle") for all they did for him, and another five minutes of Dan crying as he steps down from the podium.
If you enjoyed last night's offense, I have good news for you:
On the plus side, at least this time Hargrove's remarkable lack of imagination will result in Willie batting eighth instead of second. Apparently the solution to figuring out which of Petagine and Borchard deserves to stay after Lawton comes back is to play neither and hope that one of them rapidly contracts some terrifying communicable illness worthy of a stint on the 60-day DL. You have to admire that kind of outside-the-box roster management.
Today's game: predict which Mariner has the best day at the plate, and spell out his line score. I'll take Ichiro to go 3-5 with three singles and a stolen base.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
