Anyone else think that the rest of the league has adjusted to Ichiro? When this guy made his debut a couple of years ago, you couldn't keep him off base. That's no longer the case.

Rafael Soriano now pitching for Seattle. Twinkies are sending the top of the order to the plate.

Oakland goes quietly in the 9th. Rivera with another easy save and the Yankees win 10-8. Glad we got them out of the way. I just hope they do that to every AL Central team from here on out.

Stewart walks

Soriano had Stewart at 0-2, then threw 4 straight balls. Twins go-ahead run on 1st.

Guzzi bunts, Olerud throws to 2nd and gets Stewart at 2B

 

1 down

Stewart out at 2nd on a sacrifice. Guzman now on 1st and 1 down.

Mike Myers now pitching for Seattle.

Guzzi makes a blunder, starts running, runs back, and then is out at 2B

 

What a dumbass.

Mientkiewicz picked off/caught stealing.

 

Going to the bottom of the 11th, 3-3

Mientkiewicz picked off!

 

Alright Mariners, time to win this friggin' game already!

Talk about an unproductive inning:

 

Stewart walks, but is unsuccessfully sacrificed to second

Guzman is tagged out in a rundown

Mientkewitz is picked off at 1st

Spiezio grounds out, Boone up

 

1 down

Guzman is tagged out in a rundown

But it wasn't even a rundown.

 

From what I could tell, Guzman was straight stealing, and got to 2B, and thought Ichiro had caught that ball, so he started to run back to 1B, and was forced out at 2B after realizing what a dolt he really was for doing that.

 

 

Boone strikes out

Spezio grounded out and Boone struck out. How 'bout a 2 homer day, Raul?

Whoever was just up got out...Ibanez maybe?

 

Going to the 12th, still 3-3

Ibanez flies out. To the 12th we go.

I'm heading out.

 

ChiSoxFan, keep it coming. And for God's sakes, Seattle, win this f***ing game.

Punto lined out to Winn. Michael Ryan now batting.

Ryan singled, Jacques Jones batting.

Jones grounds out, but Ryan advances to 2nd. Julio Mateo now pitching for Seattle. Lew Ford batting.

Ford flies out to Ichiro. Bottom 12th, tied at 3.

 

 

Anytime you'd like to win this game, Mariners would be fine with me.

Joe Nathan coming in to pitch for Minnesota. He'll be facing Edgar, Olerud, & Aurilia.

Martinez swings at yet another pitch out of the strikezone for a strikeout. Yeah, but according to the dolts at ESPN, he's more of a lock for the HOF than Frank. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Olerud grounded out. 2 down and Aurilia at the plate.
