THE AL WEST RACE IS OVER
Your Seattle Mariners just lost 3 out of 4 to the Texas Rangers.
5 games back of Oakland now. Do you really think that this team will get the brooms out in the East Bay? I don't think so. Remember, Ryan Franklin is pitching tomorrow, so chalk that one up as a loss. Not because of Franklin, but because of the pitiful offense that this organization has thrown out there for the past two seasons.
The season series between the Mariners and Rangers was tied in 2003, at 10-10. You can't feel good about that at all if you're a Seattle Mariner fan. I don't, and you shouldn't either.
Comedic Gold Moment of the Season: On Fox Sports Southwest' telecast, Rangers broadcasters Josh Lewin and Tom Grieve were just going insane on how the Mariners only had ONE LEFTHANDER in their bullpen. And as Grieve was explaining why they didn't have a LHP, he said that Kazuhiro Sasaki and Armando Benitez have been known to get lefties out.
As he's talking, FSSW pans the damn camera to PAT GILLICK, who's sitting near the Mariners dugout, wearing some kind of dumbass Hawaiian shirt. FOLKS, THAT'S YOUR MAGNOLIA MOMENT OF THE SEASON!!!
Bite me if you think that I'm giving up here. I'm a realist, and I'll say it again, if you can't win a season series with the Texas Rangers, you have no business being in the playoffs.
But hey, 3 MILLION FANS BABY! That's the spirit.
