Really, I Didn't Want To Be An Oracle: Mariners 5, Angels 3
I really, really didn't want for that to happen, but here we are with Gregg and his 9.00 ERA in 9.0 IP. (At least Yan, Bootcheck, and Shields put up okay numbers for the day.)
Oh, and look, there's Figgins failing to get on base, and Erstad OBPing at a rate of .324.
Tell you what, I'm gonna start throwing things if they haven't gotten this straightened out by the end of the month.
Update: ... although, it's always instructive to check out the other team's blogs and see what they have to say. For some reason, words like "candyass" -- something I would just about never apply to one of the opposition's players -- flow freely when attacking your own. (Though that's about how I feel right now when applied to Kevin Gregg's pitch stylings.)
I'm with you on Figgins, but Erstad, as much as I still don't think the guy hits enough to play first, seems to have found his stroke the last couple of days. The ball is starting to jump off his bat like I haven't seen in years. Hopefully that will continue.
Is this team as good as 2004 or 2002? Probably not. But get Escobar and Kennedy back in the lineup, get Gregg back to the bullpen, and let McPherson start swinging... well, it's a little early to start talking about throwing in the towel on the season already.
