2nd Half Begins!: O's vs M's

[Porter]

Baltimore O's (47-40) vs. Seattle Mariners (39-48)

Safeco Field @ 7:05 PM PST

Danny Cabrera (7-7, 4.90) vs. Aaron Sele (6-8, 4.70)

I expect there to be a lot of walks in this game, both SPs have combined for 84 walks this season. Cabrera has a 4.62 BB/9 going into (50 in 97 1/3 IP) this game. The M's ended the 2nd half with a impressive 4 game sweep of the Angels. I see this team playing spoiler in the 2nd half.

I'm not an optimist. Below .500, like we have played all year.

[Porter]

I will take on Element's role say will will be better than .500

Im being the optimist.

[MarinersFan87]

I'm generally a pessimist, but I'll say that the return of Nags and Raffy, plus the eventual emergence of Felix will allow us to be a few games over .500 in the 2nd half.

[Element]

We'll see.

[Element]

And we are off to a below .500 start.

No he didn't. Our own fans booed Mateo for walking him. So much for putting team first.

Its no different from when pitchers walk Bonds.... lol
