Bartolo Colon vs. Jamie Moyer

AL CY Young winner Bartolo Colon goes against the Ageless Wonder that is Jamie Moyer.

Lineup is going to look like this:

1. RF Suzuki (L)
2. 2B Lopez (R)
3. LF Ibanez (L)
4. 1B Sexson (R)
5. 3B Beltre (R)
6. DH Everett (L)
7. C Johjima (R)
8. CF Reed (L)
9. SS Betancourt (R)

Looks pretty good, I like Lopez in the 2 hole a lot better than Betancourt. Good to see Reed is already healthy. Let's go M's!

[Porter]

Lopez in ths 2nd hole makes sense considering the spring he had. Beltre better ****ing rake this season.

[MarinersFan87]

I think he will. He had a huge WBC, and say what you want about Everett, but he is going to protect Beltre better than Reed/whoever we stuck in the 6th spot.

[MarinersFan87]

Also, let's hope that Moyer can continue his dominance at the Safe. I realized he pitched better at home last year, but had no idea that he went 10-0 w/ a 2.95 ERA.

[Porter]

Im still just amazed he can still get people out with that 80 MPH fastball.

[MarinersFan87]

One of these days he unfortunately won't. Hopefully he hangs it up before then though.

[MarinersFan87]

I'm going to class, hopefully it ends early so I can catch the first pitch.

Go M's!

[Porter]

Ill have a class during the game (damn 2:05 PST start). So ill might catch the later innings of the game.

[MarinersFan87]

Well, I walked halfway across campus to class to find out it was cancelled. Wonderful, now I get to watch the whole game.

[MarinersFan87]

Hassleback to throw out the first pitch .

Ump calls a ball on a clear strike, some things never change.

[MarinersFan87]

Sexson bobbles the Figgins groundball and barely gets it to Moyer for the first out.

[MarinersFan87]

God dammit, some shaky fielding.

Cabrera's groundball bounces off Moyer's glove and Lopez can't get it to Sexson in time. One on.

[MarinersFan87]

Moyer gets Anderson looking. Two down.

Vlad is up. :o

[MarinersFan87]

Vlad just tosses a lazy Moyer pitch out of the park.

2-0 Angels
