From Basketball to Baseball....

Things to make you go WTF?
Sure it has nothing to do with baseball, but I'm a geek at heart, so check this out.
Since my darling sister has decided to post, I should do something as well. On the baseball front, the Mariners managed to hold on in late innings last night to Baltimore. It's nice to be able to take down what looks to be one of the top teams in our side of the Leauge. Every little bit we can do to work our way back up into contention will help, even at this early point in the year.
Moyer is pitching tonight, it should give us a chance to stay out of another 5 game loosing streak. Then again, Palmeiro has hit 49 homers against the Mariners... That's a lot of balls out of the park. Lets hope he doesn't reach the nice round number of 50 anytime soon. Or if he does, not in a critical situation.
It was nice to see some offence, but do you realise we are only 2-8 when the Mariners score more then 5 runs? That is insane, our pitching needs to settle down. We should be able to break out of whatever we are in, hopefully it will be in time to make a run at the penant, as it is going to be hard to get the wild card slot. Then again, if the Yankees keep up their current pace, we shouldn't have near the problem originally thought.
My other team, Tampa Bay, has been doing pretty good this year. They are still a young team and lost a couple close games, but they are a lot more competetive then last year. Not quite the improvement that Detroit has made, but I don't think you can find a team in baseball that has improved that much.
Last but not least, take a look at the future. Enjoy.
