SEA

Felix Hernandez, RHP (5-5, 3.39)

Mariners (30-41)

Cubs: Lilly struggled in his last start, giving up eight runs (six earned) on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Angels. It was the most runs he's served up since being charged with nine on July 20, 2009, at Philadelphia. Lilly gave up four runs in the first inning; he had given up one run in the first in his previous 10 starts combined. The lefty gave up multiple homers for the third time, and second this month.

 

Mariners: Hernandez has taken four of his past five starts through at least eight innings, and his most recent outing was his best yet. He followed up Cliff Lee's shutout with a one-run complete game, walking one and striking out nine. That was a point of pride for Hernandez, who wasn't happy about having to leave his previous start after 8 2/3 innings. To say the least, he and Lee make a formidable pair. There's just no telling how much longer it will last.

Wow, kudos for typing that much unless you copy and pasted. In which case that's still more effort than this team deserves at this point.

 

 

 

Win, idiots.

It's from the probable pitchers page on mlb.com. I ain't wasting my time on that.

Eh, at this point I'm not sure I want them to win anymore. They are so far down, and back, and it's not like they've shown the slightest inclination to play better. Go for the draft pick and front office overhaul.

[haubrich91]

Finish the sweep boys! Garbage *** Cubs.

[Soul]

Suckfest baseball. Served up fresh right into your living room on the magic carpet of technology.

 

Enjoy, everyone!

[Keener98]

Castro finally gets day off. Fontenot at SS. Soriano on the bench even though he's only 1 who's hit this series. Nady in Lf Colvin Cf Fuku the non baseball player in RF with Byrd DH. Whatever

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this isn't going to end well

[J.R.]

Teddy, time to man up and give up nothing.

[Prizefight]

Oh, hey we scored.

 

 

 

:roll:

[Schwarber Fan]

there really isn't a worse fundamental team in baseball

[Sammy Sofa]

The end of Ted Lilly's MLB career is going to be hideous.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm impressed that Nady scored from 2nd on that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why?

[Schwarber Fan]

he kinda seems like a slow, bumbly baserunner.

[Schwarber Fan]

still hate ya, Jack.

[Schwarber Fan]

well, Safeco was a cool park, at least.

 

on to US Cellular

[UMFan83]

Did we lose yet?

[Schwarber Fan]

Did we lose yet?

 

extra innings on the road - can you envision us winning?

[SouthSideRyan]

Did we lose yet?

 

Erik says yes.

[Sammy Sofa]

Come on, Milton walk off.

[SouthSideRyan]

I can't believe we're still wasting Cashner on this sinking ship.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bradley walked?! Why couldn't he do that in Chica...

 

oh wait

Extra innings?

Extra innings?

 

for us to win, it'd have to be extra innings

 

instead, looks like our 2nd most reliable RP is gonna lose this one in 9.
