DIFFERENT KIND OF BIG HURT
He's not Frank Thomas, but he wears number 35 for your Mariners. Many have noted in the blogosphere that he's had the one good year, and that was hitting in front of Barry Bonds.
I know it probably takes a while to develop a defensive rapport as a middle infielder with your compadre out there, but the muffed double play ball in the first wasn't that enjoyable. That and Ichiro totally had Adam Kennedy.
Richie's up right now...took a first pitch strike. Took another one right through the middle of the plate at the knees for strike 2. Colon goes up and in, and Aurilia chases, pops up weakly to Colon.
Not a nice start defensively for Aurilia, but for now, I give him the benefit of the doubt. I just hope that pop-up to Colon didn't cause his tear ducts to shut down or his right calf to do something weird.
