What a tough week. We went 1 and 5 and took ten innings on the last game of the week to get that one. The pitching seems to be the biggest problem to me. We really haven't been blown out any. It's just that the days we hit, we don't pitch, and vice versa. This week, we've got 3 in Anaheim and 3 in Texas. Hopefully we won't get embarrassed by the Angels like we did last week.
Mariner of the Week: I have to give honorable mention to our new shortstop, Rich Aurilia. He went 7 for 24, with 4 doubles, and 11 RBI, while only striking out once. But it is with great pleasure that I give the MOW of the year to Freddy Garcia. Freddy got a no-decision in his first outing, but he did manage to hold the Angels scoreless for 7 innings, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7. Hopefully he can keep it up.
