THE PUMP 7/15/05
Orioles at Mariners, 7:05 Pacific (FSN Northwest)
Rodrigo Lopez (8-5, 4.47 ERA) vs Joel Pineiro (3-4, 5.44 ERA)
---Will this be the night Rafael Palmeiro gets his 3,000th hit? Probably so. For my take on Palmeiro and the damage he's caused against the Mariners, click here.
---Six years ago today, Safeco Field opened, changing the shape of baseball in Seattle forever. Unfortunately, I still remember the blown save by Jose Mesa to ruin the opening night hoopla as well. Memories suck sometimes, they really do.
---Hopefully Haloscan doesn't do any maintenance tonight. There are actually a few people who want to comment in our game threads. Don't screw that up, Haloscan.
---Aww, Ryan Franklin is mad that he doesn't get to pitch until Wednesday in Toronto. Hey Ryan, YOU ARE 5-10. FIVE AND TEN! I don't give a damn about the "run support" or lack of it. Facts are facts, folks. Since when does Ryan F*cking Franklin get to whine to the press about his problems? It's ridiculous. There's a reason why this is a last-place team. It's more than science.

Joel Pineiro, you may (will) be a part of history tonight.
I can feel it! (cue Live "Lightning Crashes")
