Mariners Rally In 8th; Beat Angels 3-1


The Seattle Mariners rallied for threes runs in the bottom of the 8th inning on Tuesday night, and went on to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-1. While victory may have been sweet for the rallying Mariners, SP Felix Hernandez must feel betrayed by the pathetic Mariner offense when he pitches. Felix pitched seven innings of three hit baseball on Tuesday, only to have the Mariners score zero runs for him. Only after Felix had departed, and was assured of another no decision, did the anemic offense rise to the occasion, string a few singles, a couple walks, and a sacrifice fly, to score three runs. Those three eighth inning runs made reliever Brandon League 9-6 the winner, instead of the eventual loser. Closer David Aardsma came on, and kept the Angels off the scoreboard in the top of the ninth, for his 26th save of the season.

Halos Hammer Homers; Defeat Mariners 5-3


Another loss, another ho hum effort by the Mariners. The L.A. Angels came into Seattle on Monday night, and doled out a 5-3 beating on the Mariners. A four run top of the sixth inning, replete with three Angel home runs was enough to send the M’s to their 80th loss of the season. Given their penchant for losing, within the next couple weeks, the Mariners will most likely have the worst record in the American League. Only Pittsburgh and Baltimore have worse records in all of MLB.

French Toasts Twins


It was a cloudy outside of Safeco Field on Sunday afternoon. The sun was definitely shining inside, as Mariner SP Luke French tossed a beauty, limiting the Minnesota Twins to just one run, on three hits in seven innings. The M’s bullpen came on, and threw two scoreless frames, as the Mariners went on to defeat the Central Division leading Twins 2-1. It was a very well pitched game by both teams. Carl Pavano 15-10, allowed only two runs, but ended up taking the loss for the Twins.

Newly acquired relief pitcher, left hander Brian Fuentes came on and struck out Russell Branyon, for the final out of the game. Blackburns final line on the day was 8.2 IP/2H/0R/2BB/6K.

Mariners Fall To Red Sox 5-3


The Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 Wednesday afternoon at a rain soaked Fenway Park in Boston. It was game one of their scheduled day/night double-header. SP Josh Beckett 4-3 earned his first win since August 3rd, thanks to some very generous calls by home plate umpire Rob Drake. My scorecard was littered with dots, which is my indicator for questionable calls. Either way, the Sox got by the M’s scoring four runs in the bottom of the 6th inning, and added a single run in the 8th. The Mariners scored all three of their runs, on two round trippers in the top of the 7th inning off Beckett.

Red Sox Down Mariners 6-3


SP John Lackey and SS Marco Scutaro proved to be too much for the Mariners on Monday night in Fenway Park, as the Sox beat the Mariners 6-3. It was a raw and rainy night for baseball on Monday evening. The temperature was hovering just above 60 degrees, and there was a 20 mph wind blowing in from center field. None of that seemed to bother Lackey, who threw eight innings, allowed only six hits, while striking out 10 Seattle batters. His only hiccup on the night, was in the top of the sixth inning, on a two RBI single by 1B Casey Kotchman, that scored Ichiro and Chone Figgins. The Mariners scored an unearned run in the top of the third, on a fielding error by 2B Jed Lowrie.
