First of all, sound the PAXTON KLAXON because it is James Paxton Day, you dirt worshiping heathens!

death awaits you. come and see.

Second of all, today the Mariners have a shot at a series win against the best team in baseball. That is pretty cool. But also, if they fall short, it was against the best team in baseball. So keep that in mind.

Our good boy Mitch is still out with a hurt fingie, so Guillermo gets another start.

Feel the hate flow through you, Mariners, for it is Hate Week, and we hate our divisional rivals as much or more than we hate the franchise’s own shortcomings. Our Player Haters Ball will continue after the team leaves Houston and hosts the now Good (TM) Yankees and the still annoyingly good Red Sox. We’re barely a third of the way through this shit sandwich, so brace yourselves, hydrate, and smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

Game Info: 11:10 AM PDT; on ROOTNW, 710 ESPN, and MLB.tv
