IS MELVIN GOING TO BITCH ABOUT HUDSON?
Tim Hudson lives on balking, according to Bob Melvin.
Anyways, Tim Hudson has started his 2004 Cy Young Tour.
Complete game, 4-hit, 86-pitch outing today in the Oakland Coliseum, defeating the Mariners 2-1. The first inning was a little shaky for Hudson, but from the second inning on, he was money. That's to be expected from a pitcher of Hudson's caliber.
Gil Meche pitched a solid game for the M's, but in the 7th inning, he just ran out of gas. It was encouraging to see Meche come out in his first outing with a solid performance, but it was for naught. It's funny to think that the only two solid performances by a Mariners starter is when Ben Davis is behind the plate. Take that, Melvin.
And with that, the usual Melvin garbage (this was BEFORE today's game, since Melvin is too scared of talking to the media...by the way, I wish I could say "scared" in a Dirty South way, it's hysterical)
"With good teams, it's that much more magnified, and we're a good team,'' second-year skipper Bob Melvin said before the game. ``You're not going to panic but we have to win some games. We don't have to be the pacehorse like we have been the last couple years but you don't want to fall too far behind.''
Hey Bob, this is not a good baseball team right now. Can things get better? Sure they can. But at the same time, I don't like the M's chances of having to play catch-up. Anaheim and Oakland are clearly the class of the American League West. Needless to say, the Mariners have to win Sunday afternoon. Jamie Moyer vs Mark Mulder, 1:05 start.
David's coming up with the game recap diary. For those wondering why I can't do them, well, it's very hard to do a recap diary when you can't see the game. I can only hear the game. But fear not, I do get to see three M's games on TV this week (TUE at ANA ESPN, FRI and SUN vs TEX on Fox Sports Southwest). It should be fun.
Well, "fun" would be seeing the M's put a W in the win column...
