Comments on: Game 105, Mariners at Orioles http://ussmariner.com/2006/07/31/game-105-mariners-at-orioles/ Seattle Mariners and general baseball discussion with David Cameron and Derek Zumsteg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:17:03 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Karen http://ussmariner.com/2006/07/31/game-105-mariners-at-orioles/comment-page-5/#comment-130567 Karen Tue, 01 Aug 2006 18:14:16 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/2006/07/31/game-105-mariners-at-orioles/#comment-130567 #241. I love BBTN, too -- NOT! Actually, when they discussed Texas' moves, they segued right in to how it was a "3 team race" and how competitive the A's and Angels will be going down the stretch and how Vlad Guerrero will have to pick it up for his team. No mention of that other team, now in 3rd place and lurking only 3.5 games out of first place. And in their "Web Gems" they featured Grady Sizemore, mentioning only at the last that "oh, the Mariners won that game 10-5" without any Mariners highlights. ESPN and BBTN in particular have degraded into a slick-paged ad-filled magazine of a sportsnetwork...sorta like ESPN:The Magazine, come to think of it. #241. I love BBTN, too — NOT!

Ba dump. Clearly rooting for the Angels, for the reason cited above, and also due to the simple fact that the A's are further ahead of us right now. Game summary haiku: New late-game power Unexpected but welcome Like Hendu struck dumb. As far as A’s-Angles, I’m rooting for a complete 180. Ba dump.
