5 in a row now. 2 from Detroit, 1 from NYY and now we swept Atlanta ... moving onto struggling Tampa Bay. But I thought the Mariners were supposed to be some terrible team and not supposed to beat such high caliber teams as the Angels! That is what I gather from your game threads at least.

As stated, Brandon Maurer ****ing stinks. Hopefully his last start as an M's fan.

He was out. Don't know why Lloyd didn't challenge it.

To be fair Nick Franklin really hasn't had much time in the MLB this year .... 42 PA's.

I'm a moron with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. Sorry I don't spend most of my time being a little bitch on forums. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cezero He hasn't "watched a game since the 2nd week of April" yet think James Jones is legit. http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/seattle-mariners/150447-james-jones-legit.html You know .. the player called up in May.

You realize the M's are at .500 right now and have played some good baseball ... mixed with bad baseball. You're not really an M's fan anyway though ... we already knew that.

What'd I tell you guys about Maurer?

Trust me when I say Brandon Maurer is garbage. And yeah Cano is out because he is sick.

Least you guys get a free win tomorrow. Brandon Maurer on the mound for us tomorrow.

We will match your Ibanez with our "C" Line-up. John Buck DH? Stefen Romero in the 2 hole? Saunders on the bench? Seems awesome! Wouldn't be a proper Felix start if he didn't get run support anyway.

He has been on fire as of late. I expect his power numbers to surge as it gets warmer. He just added a double with his HR this game ... he went 4 for 5 last night ...

Dominant Rodney showed up today. Thank god.

Fernando Rodney coming in for the 9th .... hold onto your asses.

3 of our pitchers are injured. Our pitching is terrible right now. Paxton won't be back until the end of May. Same with Taijuan ... but he hasn't even made a start and has had a ton of shoulder issues so far ... so god only knows what is coming to him. Iwakuma may be back in 2 weeks at least .... Elias has done well though. Erasmo has been garbage. Our hitting ... man I don't know. Cano has been pathetic but he is a slow starter usually so I expected it. Brad Miller was expected to be awesome ... and his ST hinted at it ... but he has been AWFUL. Kyle Seager is usually steady ... but he has been awful. Smoak is just awful and always has been. Zunino and Corey Hart have been our best hitters ...

Yep. We're pretty ****ing bad. Thank god we got those 4 wins off you guys. This is the most pathetic I have seen the Mariners look in the past 10 years. Even worse than the 17 game losing streak a few seasons ago.

Lack of hustle? Who cares ..... jesus he was out before he got half way down the baseline. ****ing coaches .... he just came off a quadriceps injury ....

Oh I know we gained an advantage because of it ... I still said it was a dumb rule then too. It really is. The most common aspect of baseball should not be redefined today ...

Wouldn't have happened if the new MLB "dropped transfer not a catch" rule wasn't total bullshit.

Erasmo doing his best to give the lead back to Texas. Lloyd smartened up and pulled him after a lead off double though.

Tie game. Corey Hart hits a back to back HR to tie it at 4. Could be a high scorer ...

Erasmo sucks. I don't know why M's fans thought he'd be anything special. I know I never did. Cano hits his first home run at least ... 3 run bomb.

Mariners blow it. Mainly due to Brad Miller and Fernando Rodney.

Taijuan Walker in his start in Double A today has 10 K's and 1 BB in 5 IP so far. He'll be back sooner than 3 weeks.

Barring one season, your Angels have largely been irrelevant as well.

Lol. Yeah average pitcher. A mid to upper 90s left hander with a devastating curveball. He also dominated the Cardinals and Rays last season. Only knock against him is his control ... and he has kept that in check so far in the MLB.
