HALFTIME THOUGHTS, MARINER THOUGHTS
Jeremy's not lying. Those Ducks uniforms are absolutely horrible. Gak. I thought the all-orange Illinois uniforms from this morning were bad, but Oregon just topped them tenfold.
The Huskies are down 21-0 at half, and there was a graphic right before the half that said the Huskies had rushed for exactly -1 yards. That's great. That's what we like to see. You know, I'm sadistic. I wanna se a Buckeye 74-0 drubbing. Sure, it'd be bad for the Pac10, but these Husky fans on KJR are so in over their heads it's not even funny. They badly need to be put in their place.
Now for the Mariners. For the first time in a LONG time, they did just what I hoped they would. They were down 1-0 originally, but then reeled off the 13 runs. They got the benefit of some errors and some walks. Finally, they had a chance to take advantage of a team, and they sent 14 batters to the plate and absolutely BURIED the O's in the 5th. We haven't seen the Mariners put a team away like that in a very long time. Like I said yesterday, we would really see what yesterday's 9th inning win meant to these guys after we saw how they would follow it up. Well, I think they did great. I also think Meche was finally a little sharper, though he did throw a bunch of pitches early in the game. Anyway, pretty much a good day all around for the Mariners. Now I'm not expecting a sweep tomorrow (though DAMN, THAT WOULD BE GOOD) because they usually don't score too many runs after pasting a team, but the last 10 innings (Mariner comeback Friday followed by shellacking) have been fairly encouraging. And the pitching on the homestand has been very encouraging.
I should be back later, y'all...
