THE PUMP 7/8/05
Mariners at Angels, 7:05 Pacific (FSN Northwest, MLB.TV)
Jamie Moyer (7-3, 4.58 ERA) vs Jarrod Washburn (5-3, 3.06 ERA)
---Sonics play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Calabro will fill in for Dave Niehaus during next weekend's Baltimore series at Safeco Field (July 14-17). Flying chickens in the barnyard! Calabro may get to call Rafael Palmeiro's 3,000th hit next weekend. It would be fitting if Palmeiro gets his 3,000th hit in Seattle. After all, he has 51 career home runs against the Mariners. Right now, he's currently at 2,993 hits (the Orioles are playing Boston this weekend).
---I should have done this much earlier in the season, but better late than never, right? This is what I think about the Angels' name, which I will not refer to in this post, nor will I ever refer to it here at Sports And Bremertonians.
Next on the docket: Rally Monkey Demolition Night
UPDATE: Ichiro will NOT be in the Home Run Derby. Dodgers 1B Hee-Seop Choi will represent Korea in the event. By the way, Choi is not on the N.L. All-Star team! This is one of the main reasons why I hate the new format for the Home Run Derby. Major League Baseball changed the format so they can promote the World Baseball Classic, to debut next spring. Just another dumb move to ruin the All-Star week.
Once again, IT DOESN'T COUNT!
