A quirk of our accent is if we say "Mariners are back to the top of the division" - it sounds like we are saying "
Mariners are back to the topperla division" - Any chance this team can stay Topperla from this point onwards?
Doubt it, but a big improvement last night. One game at a time. And looking at this pitching matchup we need to get our shit together to keep it going.

In other news, our new Prime Minister has spoken to the Trump and invited him to my home city, Manchester. If it ever happens I'll be coming over there for a few days to see you all. Can't be doing with that kind of shit show and that's not a dig at Trump.
Booooooo Mariners.

Heading to the game tonight. First time this year. Just my luck I get Castillo against a guy who is 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA.

No bobblehead giveaway tonight
Should have gone at the weekend as there are free t-shirts and everything.
Enjoy.

Yeah, that's a star around Castillo, a little shaky perhaps, but I think he'll be vintage Star Luis tonight.
Looks like no Humpty Dumpty J-Rod tonight.
Really liking Cole in the leadoff spot tonight.
6:40 P.M. "kickoff" for Luis's first pitch.

Supposed to be "Cast your net", Castillo.

How do you get hit in the butt by a long throw and not be able to play?

Julio Rodriguez. One of the biggest Mariners disappointments ever.
Decent player but what coulda shoulda will always haunt us.

Ms sometimes hit the Low ERA dudes and get blanked by the guy with an ERA over 6.

They said he landed hard on the base also maybe there is more to the story he might have pulled something
