Mariner Report
Another slow, frustrating 3 and 3 week. 2001 ruined me for the Mariners. Back in
the summer of '01 I commented to Deacon Blues that it was great to wake up know
your team going to win that day. I was watching the M's Friday game against the
Rangers and the commentator said someting about a 2001 M's slogan that went,
"Two outs - so what." After we lost three in a row in the middile of the week I
felt like our opponents were saying, "No outs - so what." I'm trying hard not to
despair after two weeks, but the 2001 and even the 2002 squad (18-6 in April)
made you believe they were invincable during that first month and this year they
haven't. One more tough week - A's at home, Angels on the road. The pitching
hasn't been terrible, but the hitters are still yet to get going. Perhaps
winning these last two in Texas will give the guys a morale boost. As for the
A's series, we won't see Zito during the 4-game series, and that's something to
be thankful for. After this week, we've got a week with Cleveland and Detroit -
can you even wait?
Mariner of the Week: Jamie Moyer. Moyer, Edgar's ageless counterpart, went 1-0
in two starts giving up only 2 runs in 12 innings pitched. Honorable mentione to
Bret Boone and his 2-homer game last night.
