"I just needed to re-align" Godsmack "Re-Align"
As you can tell, there are a few changes to the daily game threads.
1) The title is now "THE PUMP", the term we use for our photos that feature the lowest batting averages in the Mariners lineup. We are productive here at Sports and Bremertonians, so that's another reason why I eliminated the "not-so-productive" title.
2) Dan Wilson is on the DL, therefore he's off the PUMP. If you're on the DL, you're not on the PUMP. This is why Scott Spiezio's .083 average isn't up there.
3) For this weekend, we're going with Citgo as our "sponsor". Fitting, because the Mariners are in Boston.
Anyways, the Mariners have lost 5 in a row. Can they end the streak tonight in Boston? We can only hope that Jamie Moyer rebounds from his poor start last weekend in Oakland.
It's time for Miguel Olivo to shine. I've had high hopes for Olivo since he came to Seattle last summer. Is Fenway Park the place where Olivo starts to turn it around? If anything, I just want to take Olivo off the PUMP.
Enjoy yourself.
