Mike Leake and his fabulous hair makes their second start for the Mariners. Lineups!

Today's Lineups

LOS ANGELES ANGELS SEATTLE MARINERS
Brandon Phillips - 2B Jean Segura - SS
Mike Trout - CF Yonder Alonso - 1B
Justin Upton - LF Robinson Cano - 2B

Well, look at that, new Angels Brandon Phillips and Justin Upton. Man, what an eminently hate-able lineup. Fuck all of these clowns into space.

Daniel has zero chill.

Your battle/mourning tune:
