2011 Regular Season Mariners Ramblings

[Porter]

Justin Smoak has been on a tear since coming back from his fathers funeral. The M's go for their 5th straight win tonight.

[Trendy Bastard]

Bradley has been DFA.

[Porter]

That was just bad all around. I cursed him lol.

[love_that_reefer]

After his actions the past couple of weeks, its good riddance. No need to have a guy like that around a youth movement.

[Porter]

He is still the only guy to get hurt while arguing and also get thrown out from 2nd base arguing with the 1st base umpire.

The offense still is going to struggle badly.

[Porter]

So since dumping Milton Bradley, they are like 6-3 or something like that and can the M's play the Padres everyday for the rest of the season?

Jayson Stark:

If you don't live in the 206 area code, it's easy to overlook almost everything that happens in Seattle. But the Mariners' rotation just finished an amazing streak of nine consecutive starts of at least seven innings and no more than two runs. Totals for those nine games: 70 innings, six runs, just 38 hits, 0.70 ERA. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it's the first team to get that many innings and an ERA that low from its starters over nine games since Jack Morris' 1986 Tigers compiled exactly the same ERA over exactly 70 innings from July 17-25.

[Porter]

The Mariners rotation has been brilliant this month.

I see Saunders was finally sent down. About time!

Mariners have lost 12 straight games. They were 2.5 games out before the AS break, now sit 13 games out.

[Porter]

its been frustrating at best. ive missed all twelve games for a good reason i guess.

[Tobywan]
