IT IS OVER!!!!

The Mariners have finally defeated Pedro Martinez. He is now 13-1 against the Mariners lifetime. This is definitely a cause for celebration.

And get this, the Mariners scored 4 runs for Ryan Franklin!

After last weekend's sweep in Washington, D.C., the Mariners have played solid baseball this week, taking 2 out of 3 from Philadelphia. With their second straight win against the New York Mets, this is yet another series this ballclub has won in the month of June. Can the M's sweep Tom Glavine and the Mets tomorrow? I don't see why they can't at this point.

Folks, it's definitely early, but I'm already loving the Jose Lopez Era at second base. The Bret Boone Death March is definitely in full effect. Lopez is a key part of the Mariners' future, so hopefully he can live up to that expectation.

I'm in a definite celebratory mood right now, that's for damn sure. The Mariners defeat Pedro Martinez after Richie Sexson gets ejected in the first inning? With Willie Bloomquist at third base and Dave Hansen at first base? With Ryan Franklin on the mound, who's the so-called "hard luck pitcher"?

This is the most fun I've had as a Mariner fan since 2002. That's sad to think about, but it really is. Seeing your team defeat Pedro F*cking Martinez definitely raises the optimism meter a few pegs.

Glavine. Meche. Tomorrow. 1 p.m. Pacific. Be here, if you aren't going to the game.
