Game 136, Angels at Mariners

Furbush vs. Santana, 7:10pm.

Let’s just get this out of the way now: this game won’t be as good as last night’s. Sorry. It’s always valuable to see if Charlie Furbush is progressing at all – if he’s gaining command or if his stuff just looks better – but ultimately, this game’s going to be a let down, because it isn’t Felix slicing through the Angels.

I guess we’ll see if Cesar Jimenez makes an appearance out of the pen. I’m really selling this one, aren’t I?

The line-up:
1: Ichiro
2: Gutierrez
3: Ackley
4: Carp
5: Olivo
6: Seager
7: Wells (LF)
8: Ryan
9: Robinson (DH)

In the minors, the Tui-less Rainiers face Tucson at 7:05 in Tacoma, Jackson lost a tough one to Jacksonville, 8-7 (Catricala was 2-2 with 2 walks, a 2B and a HBP). Everett takes on Spokane at 6:30, Clinton’s tied 4-4 with Quad Cities a day after giving up 21 to the Cardinals affiliate; Carter Capps is pitching for the LumberKings.

    Treyvon Robinson, designated hitter. Rolls off the tongue like Prince Fielder short stop.

    First batter walked on 3 strikes.

    You know the season is over when all the guys in the booth can talk about is a friggin pizza instead of the game.

    Particularly when a HR is being hit. Or perhaps they were trying to distract us.

    YAY, another hit for Ichiro. That’s all I care about at this point.

    So selfish. Should have closed his eyes and swung like Casper Wells. That is the most unselfish 0-27 streak anyone has ever had.

    What’s more weird than Trayvon as the DH, is that a DH is hitting 9th. I’ll never get used to things like that.

    Hit the moose!

    Seattle Mariner’s baseball: Not really understanding what DH means!

    DH doesn’t stand for Designated Middleoftheorderslugger.

    Looks like Jack Wilson is going to be getting some playing time. He was just activated from the DL today, and Atlanta released his competition, Julio Lugo.

    Good for Jack – I’m glad he’s getting a shot at the playoffs.
